    Stopped at the milkstand for breakfast this morning. I was afraid wait would be long and with 3…read morekids that can be difficult but we only had to wait 5-10 minutes. This restaurant ran like a well oiled machine, everyone chipping in to grab empty plates, run food, fill coffee, clean tables... Our waitress was awesome! Extremely attentive and hospitable. - now to the food, I won't post a menu pic because there's plenty of them posted. We ordered the chocolate strawberry waffle, Brie French brioche, a Belgian waffle, the baked apple pancake and a side of chicken with sweet garlic sauce. Everything was delicious!! I'm glad we made this a stop on our road trip. Instagram worthy ambiance and food presentation for sure, check this place out if you're in Ithaca!

    Overall a very positive experience. Service leads the review. I had the eggs Benedict, because I…read moredon't eat meat, I had it without ham. When they brought out my food, the server bringing out my food, asked if I would like any water. When she returned with the water, she asked if I would like any avocado since I didn't get ham. Anytime the servers we go to another table with coffee they would swing back around and check to see if I wanted more coffee. It felt like the servers enjoyed their jobs and were not trying to take any shortcuts and were genuinely trying to make it a positive experience. The food was good. Overall, the food wasn't amazing. It was not the best hollandaise sauce I've ever had in my life and the poached eggs felt flat and somewhat small. However, there hashbrowns were probably the best I've ever had. They were very crispy on the outside. Like ASMR crispy. But flaky and buttery on the inside. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. It was very cold inside on the day that I was there, but it was also very hot outside and so this may have been deliberate. Aesthetically it's very pleasant. The bathroom is very clean and has a really nice changing table in it which is a plus for parents.

    Loved the old school vibe of the diner itself. Old unrestored diner that was made in Paterson NJ…read more Walk in and it was busy!! Counter in front of you with grill on the other side of it and booths against the front windows. Outside seating also. Waitress was excellent. Coffee cam quick and was good. Normal diner breakfast meaning not foofy. Normal eggs potatoes pancakes etc. However they make a great omelet called the Zito........ Omelet w corned beef hash, bacon, and American cheese inside! Never have I had CBH as an omelet filling and never combined w chopped bacon and cheese! It was incredibly good if you're a hash fan. Busy place w lots of action....... It's an d blue collar diner that time forgot that I'm glad I came across!! Waitesss was on point and nice!! Great place!!!!

    This is an old dining car that first opened in 1941 in Elmira and then was brought to Horseheads in…read more1974. Vintage sliding wooden door to enter the dining car. 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.
