He had it John Wayne style, which means chili and cheese on top. It was quite large and excellent. I ordered their blueberry pancakes with a slice of ham. Also, very large and tasty. They make their own iced tea--no soda fountain tea here!! It was very dark and rich. My husband said that they also have very good coffee. One thing I noted was how quickly the food came after our order. We were not unique. I noticed many were also served quickly. Service is great. I don't usually like syrup on pancakes and when I asked, they gave me something else other than syrup. We talked with some of our friends who come to Becky's almost daily and they said that the diner starts their order as soon as they sit down (because it doesn't change very often), and it comes out within a few minutes of sitting down. There are lots of booths along the walls and tables in the center. Vinyl tablecloths are used. Very practical. They have indoor and outdoor seating, which is really nice in the summer and fall. They are open for breakfast and lunch. The owner keeps a food pantry outside the door. I think this is one of the best breakfast places around. 5 stars as it is everything you'd expect in a breakfast/lunch diner plus great service and friendly atmosphere.

Either sit at the counter or in one of the booths or even at a few tables outside. A waitress brought our menus promptly and was friendly and prompt throughout. They serve breakfast and lunch until 2 p.m. We opted for breakfast. I had the cinnamon French toast and sausage. My friend had the 2 meat breakfast plate with eggs, toast, home fries, and sausage. Both were decent, and surprisingly the coffee was excellent. If you are in the area check this place out. The ambience alone is worth the visit.

Lincoln Street Diner (LSD) is a small but homey diner that's in a fairly residential area, which I…read morethink is really cool. Don't come here with a big party, as the largest table seats four people and there are probably about 25 seats in the whole restaurant. I came with a group of 8, and we were separated into three tables. The food was really good. I ordered an omelet and didn't quite expect what they handed me, but it was super good (it was more like a scramble than a traditional omelet). Omelets can sometimes be really bland, but LSD did a great job of making sure that the food was seasoned well. No complaints about pricing/service either - it was all super fair. Lastly, it gets busy, so be ready to wait!

This place was unexpected! In the middle of a neighborhood full of houses... Bam! Diner! This place…read morehas just enough parking around it for the number of seats available. The inside looks like a typical small diner. It's small, having some counter seats and like 6 tables, but it's busy with a steady stream of people eating and at least 2 people waiting to be seated! There's one lady who runs around and waits on all the tables. She deserves some sort of super hero waitress award. The food was top notch diner breakfast... Nothing fancy, but it really hit the spot. The coffee was fresh and strong and hot. It was a perfect fuel for a day of hiking and exploring.

The omelettes were yummy can't go wrong with that. The Bloody Mary's were a good size and tasted good, nice flavor to them. Recommend coming here is even though it looks a little run down and rusty tables outside. Ps: outside the tables are rusty and run down and a bunch of honeybees outside so heads up. They have little cups of jam/ butter on the rail for them- if you are allergic stay inside. But nice breakfast for a fine price. Water cups are old little plastic cups that are clear/ yellow and look run down.

I stopped by Sunset Grill while venturing down to the southern tip of Ithaca for some clay…read morewheelthrowing. The location is a bit of a trek if you're without a car (especially in the winter), which probably explains why it wasn't too crowded when I got there. But the people who were there were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience that much better! I went for the Saturday Special Steak, which was around $20, and it did not disappoint. I chose the "petite" steak (because the King and Queen sizes sounded like a bit much for me), but even the petite was massive. I couldn't finish most of it, but I was definitely full. The portions are no joke. Overall, the food was great, the portions were generous, and the staff made it a really pleasant stop. If you're in the area or just looking for a hearty meal, definitely worth the visit!

Vegan but still really yummy!…read more Honestly loved their donuts and biscuit- on par with normal donuts/biscuits! The filling of the boston cream donut taste like a vanilla snack pack pudding which I personally don't mind but still prefer non-vegan boston cream donut filling. Jelly and vanilla sprinkles were both yummy- no complaints! My favorite was the apple cider donut- the perfect crisp exterior and soft cakey moist interior. These were also warm! We also tried the Western which has vegan egg cheese and bacon on their house-made biscuit. Biscuit was delicious! I don't personally love vegan cheese, but rather enjoyed the smokey flavor of the bacon. Overall, I would definitely return, but would pass on the boston cream and get more of the apple cider donuts! I would probably also get another break fast sandwich.

I'm lactose intolerant and 2. 1 of us is vegetarian. This place checks all the boxes and we both can order without having to worry about anything. They also have wheat free options which is another plus. I got the breakfast wrap and it was probably one of the best wraps I've ever had. Definitely stepped out of my comfort zone trying it because I've only had the cheese on it but none of the other ingredients. I also got the strawberry mango smoothie with oat milk and it was the perfect match to my wrap. My friends had already eaten here and were raving about how good the cheese fries were and how I could actually eat them and they really were so good! Over all it was such a great experience and I love the diner vibes. The parking is a little iffy because it's in the same area of Dominos so it's a little limited but there's a parking garage around the corner and street parking is always an option. I have a new favorite place to eat where I can order and enjoy what I'm eating in peace.

Burgers. Sandwiches. Fries. Nothing is going to blow your mind, but it's a diner. Solid, hearty food at a good price. I rolled with the Frisco Melt, which is a patty melt on sourdough topped with onion, tomato, american cheese, and russian dressing. Solid. One of my kids got chicken fingers and fries (solid), and the other split a tuna sandwich and the soup of the day (stuffed pepper) with my wife. The soup was surprisingly good, and the tuna sandwich was a tuna sandwich. What makes this place great isn't the run of the mill decor, but the sweethearts that work there.
