East Shore Roadhouse - BELT sandwich with seasoned fries at East Shore Roadhouse - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, New York

Headed to Ithaca to have a burger my eye caught this "towny place" so I thought I would take a chance. With a name like roadhouse I was ready for a fight but the toughest challenge was deciding what to order. So I just started at the top The Cubano. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. The flavors and textures were spot on. Just like the well laid out dining area and the employees I left with a full belly and a desire to return to try the next meal on the menu. Bravo !! read more

Delightful little spot. Popped by after a long trip and this was a great stop. Super kid friendly with booster chairs, chalk, coloring books and drawing supplies. Very friendly service. Seems like it would be a great breakfast place, but that's only available until 11am. Caveat that I'm coming from Chicago, the value is incredible at 2 dishes with free sides for $33 after tax. Pulled pork - 4/5. Nice and flavorful. Chicken sandwich - 3.5/5. Fresh focaccia bread, lots of cheese, well seasoned tomato. The only disappointment was the grilled chicken was totally bland - couldn't eat it even with salt and pepper. But once I took it off, tasted great. Side of mac and cheese - 4/5. Super cheesy and well made. Side of fruit - 3/5. What you'd expect. Some fruit of mixed levels of freshness read more

Interesting little spot outside of town. Portions were huge! Everything hit the spot. Service was lovely. Place was busy on a cold rainy day. Clean spacious, with a country barn feel. They make everything from scratch even the jam! read more

We love stopping here for breakfast before getting our groceries. Their food is delicious and reasonable. A great spot to check out.

I just love this little roadhouse. Which is what it is. It's a family owned and operated breakfast/lunch spot. With a liquor license. Farm to table local ingredients and a nicely appointed menu. Something for everyone. On Saturday I had lunch with a friend. one of the daily special was Gumbo. I was all in and not disappointed. It was wonderful with just the right amount of heat. Lacking seafood however, it was excellent Gumbo. My dining companion had the Mediterranean salad which she enjoyed. Great food, great price and generous portions. read more

Was there on Friday had a chicken sandwich, most tender and moist chicken breast I have had .... Ever! Went back for Sunday breakfast - line was out the door - deservedly so..... blueberry pancakes were magical . Go at least once or twice while visiting the area!! read more

Cozy atmosphere in a lovely part of NY state. Breakfast and lunch only, which was just what we wanted. In addition to the menu, there is a daily specials board. Most items locally sourced--love that. The jelly selection was unique: plum, hot pepper, or grapefruit marmalade--it's based on what the farm stand across the road has to offer. I ordered the medium portion sausage gravy on home fries. It is served with a fried egg on top, and big chunks of fresh sausage was super good. Mild and flavorful. A tad bit salty for my taste, but the perfect amount of pepper! Spouse ordered the Blueberry pancakes (2) which were on the special board. Served with local sausage and maple syrup. Delicious, but he could have done with just one--they were very substantial! My apologies for the already cut up looks of our food--we jumped right in, and then I thought of posting a review because first bites we yummy I recommend this quaint location in Lansing, NY. Fresh, homemade flavors and friendly service to boot! read more

East Shore Roadhouse - Blueberry pancakes and 2 sausage patties. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, New York

Wow so we've been passing this place daily since moving to the area since it's on our way to daycare and I wish we tired it soon it was awesome. It looks like a small possible hole in the wall when you pass it, it's absolutely gorgeous inside, super cute. The food was amazing. The staff was also amazing. One of my kids had an absolute meltdown and the waitress was beyond awesome about it. She brought the kids Dino's to play with and stickers, we were blown away the the service. But the food it looks ok but it tasted amazing everything was so good. My husband had a breakfast sandwich, the kids had the French toast and I have the huevos. Totally plan to go back. read more

East Shore Roadhouse - Chocolate Milk - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, New York

If you live in or are on vacation in the Lansing, NY area you know there are not a lot of places to eat. I actually didn't know this place was open for business until one of my friends mentioned it. I don't enjoy driving into Ithaca or up to the Triphammer area so I tried this place out for lunch. I got the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich and the sweet potatoes fries to-go. As I waited for my order I saw various other dishes get delivered to the folks around me. Each one looked very good and a lot of food. If you want super fast food service I would say avoid this place. If you want good food and great quality that is cooked to order fresh this is the place. The wait was reasonable and the service was fine. When I opened the to-go box I could see the fried chicken sandwich was huge! I headed back to Myers park where we are camping and dived into my lunch. The sandwich and sweet potato fries were great. The coleslaw and topping on the fried chicken was also great. The fried chicken was juicy with lots of flavor. No additional toppings were needed. The sweet potato fries were also great. Overall, everything was excellent for a modest sized diner. I did look through the menu as I waited and I can see I will need to come back and try their breakfast. Lots more lunch options that all looked great too. So...the next time we are in town this is the place we will grab lunch at. read more

A very unassuming place with excellent food, with superior service. Wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful with menu selections. Burger was great, and their special for the day was a fried haddock sandwich. Portion was generous and delicious. You can tell the food in this place is fresh and well made. It's a not to miss place read more

East Shore Roadhouse - Breakfast burrito! This was pulled pork, and was delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, New York

My mom and I were on our annual fall getaway to the Finger Lakes and we had to try this breakfast spot. O-M-G!!! I'm so glad we did and we can't wait to go back! First of all, don't let the name of the place fool you, this is the furthest thing from a roadhouse. It is a quaint country chic diner that feels like you're in someone's dining room. THE BISCUITS! Best biscuit I've ever had and I've had plenty in the south. These biscuits are giant, hearty and delicate at the same time and crispy buttery outside and soft pillowy inside. And they serve them with their homemade jams of the day! Made with local flour, my mom had to go buy the flour at the co-op immediately after breakfast. Along with jams of the day, is their veggie of the day. So our breakfasts came with roasted veggies. My mom said she's now going to add roasted veggies to her breakfast rotation. We couldn't finish all our food. Very generous portions. So we had leftovers for the next day. The service was also stellar. They take such good care of you that you feel like you know them personally. And we really appreciated the conversation and recommendations of waterfalls to visit in the area. We took her advice and did just that! We can't wait to go back! read more

East Shore Roadhouse - Breakfast bowl with potatoes, veggies, eggs and biscuit on the side. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, New York

East Shore Roadhouse was a great find off the beaten path!! The menu has so many awesome looking dishes on it so it was tough to order. We started with the fried mushrooms which came with a creamy horseradish dip. I have never had fried mushrooms before and this dish blew me away. The mushrooms came out piping hot and with a crisp batter on the outside but still tender and juicy inside, and it paired perfectly with the cool creamy dip. For my main I had the cubano which did not disappoint-- the sandwich was uniquely prepared with a thick cut of ham, pork, pickles and gooey cheese on a seasoned slice of ciabatta. So extremely satisfying and delicious! Can't wait to return. read more

Very happy to have this lovely cafe in Lansing. The new owners are welcoming, talented, outgoing and service minded. We have been in twice for breakfast and it has been EXCELLENT both times. Lots of locally sourced ingredients...from the eggs, to the breads, to the sausage and coffee. Delicious, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. Extensive and varied menu. Glad to have them in our neighborhood. We are regulars now! read more

I had breakfast and lunch at the cozy East Shore Roadhouse today. Great service, even better biscuits and gravy! The biscuits have great color, flavor and texture.

Lansing needed a breakfast spot and this is it. The restaurant used to be Flynn's Roadhouse. I never went inside Flynn's (just did take out but 5 stars for them too) but ESR is bright, airy, clean and welcoming. The decor has a modern farmhouse feel and the restaurant in general was very family friendly . They did have a booster seat available for my 1 year old. The service was friendly and fast. The coffee mugs were a good size and the coffee itself, excellent. I got the BELT off the breakfast menu and the bacon was crispy, and the home fries cooked perfectly in my opinion. I liked that they offered a local hot sauce (momo's) in addition to the regular Franks. Everything was reasonably priced for the portions that you get. We will be returning many many times. https://m.facebook.com/EastShoreRoadhouse/ read more

Incredible!! The waitress was amazing and the food equally so. We got three different things and all were fresh and homemade. Really cute inside with the most tables seating 4 or less. read more

The new owners have done a great job in transforming an old dive bar and turned it into a gem of a breakfast/lunch spot with an emphasis on fresh, local ingredients. At a recent brunch, my eggs were cooked perfectly and came with two sausage patties and delicious home fries (and I'm not normally a home fries person!). The menu is interesting and diverse without being pretentious. My one suggestion would be to have more basic kid-friendly offerings. I definitely recommend the East Shore Roadhouse and look forward to returning again soon. read more

A delightful breakfast spot in Lansing! I had been in this building when it was a bar but the new owners have given the inside a facelift that makes it feel more like a restaurant and less like a dive bar. The menu is curated to offer a reasonable amount of options. They do a great job offering local products such as Copper Horse Coffee and Wide Awake bakery on their menu. Most of our table ended up with specials off the chalkboard (avocado toast and a caramelized onion omelet). Food was excellent and exactly what we were craving fur breakfast. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will visit again! read more

Excellent food and service! Will return for sure ! Great place ! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed!

As been previously mentioned, this restaurant is off the beaten path but definitely worth the search! My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed phenomenal bloody marys and service from the bartender! I wish I had asked her name to mention her; she was very attentive and made incredible drinks. For eats we shared a chicken piccata sandwich and bruschetta, both of which were off the charts delicious! We definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Went here for Friday brunch at a professor's recommendation and it was so lovely. Since it was a weekday mid-morning, it was quiet and our server was super quick and kind -- the place had a great ambiance. The food was so delicious and definitely made to order as it came out hot and fresh. The homemade lemonade and home fries were both total hits. My friend and I left satiated and both had leftovers from our good-sized portions. Highly recommend! read more

Finally a local Ithaca restaurant with a menu beyond just burgers and pizza. Outstanding sandwiches, salads and yes a delicious burger cooked to a rare perfection as requested. Also the meat was local farm raised and washed down with their impressive selection of local beers and wine. The staff were all super friendly and our only regret was not finding this place sooner.. read more

Amazing spot for breakfast and lunch. Also does takeout. Will definitely be coming back!

We were a party of 4 for a Saturday morning breakfast. The food was ample and delicious. Service was attentive and coffee refilled. My friends, who live in the area, will be back. read more

A much needed new restaurant for the town of Lansing. The location has been a series of bars over the years, but the new owners completely remodeled the inside. It is nice, bright, and cheerful. I've been there for breakfast twice. Their eggs, especially their omelettes are great tasting and nice and large. Coffee was good. The owners are very friendly and have a good work ethic from what I observed. The only criticism I have is the bread they have available for toast. They have a selection that needs a basic white bread and cracked wheat. But that is a minor criticism. The place is great. They are open Weds-Sun. Try it ! read more
