The best part of this restaurant was their waitress. I didn't catch her name, but she was incredibly kind with a brown ponytail and sweet aura. She can tell I was traveling alone and gave me a list of all the places to check out in the area! I'm so lucky to have met her and plan to check out recommendations from her list

We spent a few days visiting Seneca Lake. After hiking Watkins Glen, we wanted a place to grab a…read morequick bite to eat. We found the Elf in the Oak on Yelp and once we saw the menu, we knew we had to give it a try. The Elf in the Oak is nestled on Rt 414. If you're not actively using a GPS, you may pass it by. It's not a large place by any means, but there's more than enough seating indoors and out. We went on a Friday morning, so there wasn't a wait and we received our food quickly. We both wanted 'the Spicy' and I have to admit, it's one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had, which is high praise coming from someone who once worked at a popular bagel joint on Long Island. If we lived locally, we'd definitely go back, but I hope if you're looking for a quick casual brunch place to grab a bite, you consider visiting the Elf In The Oak.

Recently went back to NY to visit my mom and family…read more First morning back, friend from high school and I went to Hill Top Diner. Ok so growing up in this area, we went to the place it was back in the day, Akropolis (I think is how the spelled it back then) Back in the day it was pricey. Fast forward to present day and it's STILL pricey...and pricey for a diner. It is NY after all, but I mean, plenty of diners around that are cheaper. Does that mean I had a bad experience? Nah. Was just shocked at the prices. My plain waffle with butter was like $9. That's just insane to me. Waitress was super nice. She didn't check on us for refills and whatnot tho. So that was unfortunate. Still a nice person. Suuuuper quick in wanting us to order tho and by the time we got there the breakfast rush was definitely over. So It's ok to slow down some, sis lol. It's a good place to check out. Will I rush back there? Nah, probably not. We went bc my friend had to go to Canandaigua for her boyfriend and my mom lives not far from Canandaigua. So my friend picked me up...hence why we chose this place. Definitely worth checking out. People like this place from the reviews I've seen. Again, it's not a bad place at all. Food was definitely good. Just pricier than I expected is all...and again...for a diner. People love diners bc the food is almost always better than "regular" restaurants and the prices are USUALLY cheaper. This place is about or close to the same as a reg restaurant. Thanks for reading, YelpHillyToppers! Cheers!

If you ever find yourself in Waterloo, NY, do yourself a favor and stop by Tucci's Diner. From the…read moremoment you walk through the door, you're greeted with warm, positive energy that instantly makes you feel at home. It's the kind of cozy place where the atmosphere alone can brighten your day. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone, and the food is absolutely delicious. Whether you're stopping in for a simple cup of coffee or sitting down for a full breakfast like we did, everything is prepared with care and served with a smile. Nick, the owner, truly sets the tone. He welcomes every guest personally, greeting you like you've just walked into his home. His attentiveness and genuine hospitality make all the difference. Bonnie, who was helping that day, was equally amazing so friendly, happy, and kind. You can tell she's a truly good soul who loves what she does. This family operated diner delivers an experience that honestly feels better than many Michelin-starred restaurants. It's not just about the food, it's about how they make you feel. If you're visiting the wineries around Geneva and Seneca Lake, don't forget to add Tucci's Diner as a must stop on your trip. It's the perfect place to start your day or recharge in between tastings. If you're looking for a place where you're treated like family, this is it. A true home away from home. Rich & Donna Go Fort Benning / 82nd!

Their menu has what you'd expect from a classic diner, prices are cheap, and service is quick! We got the Country Style Eggs and Patty Melt. Both lacked basic seasonings like salt & pepper. If I was rating off the food alone, I'd give it a 3/5. The home fries in the Country Style Eggs could've been crispier and adding hot sauce definitely saved this a bit. The biscuit we got with it was homemade and so delicious. It was warm, buttery, and satisfying. The Patty Melt was a bit dry and desperately needed a sauce. I used ketchup and asked for pickles which helped. The rye bread was surprisingly not dry and grilled nicely with butter. It was definitely a heavy meal but we needed it after a long drive. It's not the kind of place where you'll have an amazing meal but it'll do the job at a super affordable price.
