Sometimes you just need a good diner. If you happen to be in Cortland for whatever reason, you're…read morein luck, because this is a good one. They've got the things you want from a diner. Eggs. 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. Our servers were so nice, even the ones who weren't waiting on us. And the lady who rung us up told me that the horrific green/orange/purple manicure that my four year old daughter gave me looked great, which was definitely not true, but much appreciated.

This is a new casual burger spot that opened up in The Commons. Solid food! The fries were hot,…read morefresh, and lightly textured on the outside. The burger patty was flavourful and well-balanced in taste. Service was quick, too. My only qualm is the price. A combo meal here is almost $20, but then again, it is located in the center of Ithaca.

The french fries were good and tasty $5 for a small? you getting much more french fries from five guys for example and it's cheaper But 20 nearly bucks? There are many better choices in Ithaca. Don't see how this place will do a good business with over priced mediocre hamburgers Go check out the circus truck. A wonderful food truck. It's far better than this place

Large portions with authentic ingredients to a wonderful explosion of flavors. YUM ! The Villager Burrito is what I had and my dining companion had the cheese enchiladas. Chips and salsa were also great. So much so, I asked for a to go container for the salsa. Service was excellent and our waiter has the biggest smile ever. I will be back. Well worth the short drive from Ithaca.

Really slow service and not much flavor in their food…read more The food was mediocre and not worth it when you had to wait 10 minutes to get a water/ to get your order in and then 20 more before you saw a server again when you got your food. That was the last time we saw a server.

The men's room reeked of smoke, the men's urinal said do not use and the stall did not flush and had someone else's turd sitting in it. I also ordered a guinness. It was okay but was also not great. Was a little warmer than i'd like. I would come back here but not go out of the way for food and drink.

The hash browns were cooked well, and I was shocked by how good the coffee was! Nice job, AJ's. I imagine the food is delicious on a plate fresh out of the kitchen. There is no picture because the food in a to-go box never does it justice.

I'm on a road trip to Maine and decided to stop in Ithaca for lunch…read more That plan lasted about 20 minutes. Maybe I caught Ithaca on a bad day, but it felt crowded, chaotic, impossible to park in, and somehow I still couldn't find a place that made me want to stop and eat. Hungry, frustrated, and starting to question my life choices, I got back on the road. A few minutes later I stumbled onto Mike's Mr. Subs in Dryden. What a find. Easy parking. No line. Friendly service. The place sits at a quaint little intersection in a town that looks like it belongs on a postcard. I ordered the chicken cheddar bacon wrap. Absolutely ridiculous. Now, I was starving, so I did consider the possibility that I would've eaten a seat cushion and called it delicious. But this thing was genuinely incredible. Loaded with chicken, bacon, cheddar, and somehow exactly what I needed after my failed Ithaca adventure. The whole experience felt like one of those road trip discoveries you remember years later. I drove to Ithaca looking for lunch. Turns out lunch was in Dryden the whole time.

They fry it themselves in the shop! It's such a hole in the wall place! The honey bisuits are also really good! I rated this place 4/5 stars because the chicken was good and the people serving were nice and asked us to spread the news about this place! It could be 5/5 if they had coleslaw to go with the fried chicken (which I found to be on the saltier side)! I also wish that the honey bisuits were bigger because they're soo good and I want more bang for my buck! Lastly, I got the mashed potatoes with gravy. My honest opinion: I would skip this one!
