How this place isn't in, at least, the top 10 of restaurants in Cortland is beyond me. We've (my…read morehusband and I) have been trying Cortland restaurants for a few years now and nothing has stood out. Until now. Our waitress's name was Julia and she was so sweet and friendly. No hovering (which I hate). We had the burgers, which were really good (cooked perfectly) and my husband ordered a side of the fried pickles, which I tried. So weird and tasty! Loved them.

We originally sat outside but it was a little noisy with the cars going by at the stop light. We moved inside and had the best time. The service was great! Our waitress was so nice and attentive. I ordered Loni's red flight, one of my friends ordered the pomegranate hibiscus fizz with tequila instead of vodka, and my other friend ordered Trista's white flight. We got the crispy Brussel sprouts to start with and they were delicious. For our entrees we ordered the Mediterranean rice bowl, beer battered fish and chips, and the zesty chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. All three were really good and full of flavor. Once we finished eating the table was cleared and then I ordered a slice of carrot cake. When it was brought out they had added a candle and came over to sing happy birthday to me, including the owner, and it was the perfect finish to our dinner. The cake was amazing! Thank you so much to the staff and owner for making my birthday so special. Can't wait to come back again!

Hairy Tony's is a bit of a mixed bag. The service was genuinely friendly and attentive, and the…read moreatmosphere was fun and welcoming. If you're stopping in for a drink and to hang out, it's probably a solid spot. The food, though, was a major letdown. My steak sandwich was disappointing, and the "side" of onion rings was literally four individual pieces. Four. That's not a side -- that's a garnish. The nachos were worse. Lukewarm Velveeta poured over completely unseasoned shredded chicken, brown guacamole that looked like it had been sitting out too long, and everything about it felt rushed -- like it was thrown together in two minutes without a second thought. The emphasis was clearly on quantity over quality. Her chicken sandwich wasn't any better -- bland, unseasoned, and somehow still had the pattern from the frozen packaging imprinted on the bottom. That's not a great sign. Bottom line: nice place to grab a drink. But unless you're already inebriated and not paying attention, I'd skip the food.

Many restaurants in town had long waits, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were able to walk right in... until I realized the place was nearly empty. There were two men playing pool and a couple of people sitting at the bar, and everyone seemed surprised to see us walk through the door. Our server was friendly and told us to sit anywhere. When I asked why it was so quiet, she explained it was the slow season. We looked over the menus and tried ordering chips and guacamole--only to learn they were out of guacamole. Next, we tried mozzarella sticks--also unavailable. As we looked for a third option, my son asked if their chicken wings used a dry rub. The server said she'd check with the cook... and went over to ask one of the guys playing pool. She returned to tell us he was not only the cook but also "a very good pool player." We then noticed no one in the restaurant had food in front of them, the air had a dingy smell, and the whole atmosphere felt off. At that point, we decided not to stay. Back in the car, I checked Yelp again and realized most of the glowing reviews were from five years ago. This might have been a great spot in the past, but based on our experience, it seems it's no longer the vibrant local hangout it once was. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

She made sure we, and everyone else in the restaurant had everything we needed in a timely and friendly manner. I was genuinely impressed with how she handled the whole operation: waiting tables, bussing tables, managing the bar, and answering the phones, all with a smile and without missing a beat. The food, as always, was delicious. We've been coming to The Stadium for over 3.5 years now and have never had a bad meal. If you're looking for the best burgers, wings, and friendliest service in the area, this is the place to go. Huge shoutout to Jolie for her incredible work tonight. You ran the show like a freakin pro!!

This review is after eating there about 10 times. The food is usually hit or miss. But here's my…read moreexperience from my last visit a couple of weeks ago. Ordered a grilled cheese burger. The bread was burnt black on one side. Literally burnt. How the cook was ok to send that out is beyond me. Even my waitress was like "WTH" when I showed her. So I sent it back. The next one that comes out the sandwich was barely grilled at all. The cheese wasn't even melted. I guess the cook couldn't figure it out or was just being a jerk because I sent the burnt one back. Either way, if the cook doesn't take pride in their work, why are they back there cooking? Wish I had remembered to take some pics. You readers would've had a good laugh. The two stars is for the wait staff and the bartender who are always very nice and actually seem to care about the quality of their work.
