Restaurants near Groton

“A bit pricey but worth it for small business and bakery. Love the quality of food for their sandwiches and the pastries are delicious. Definitely worth the extra money.”

“First time having the bbq chicken pizza wasn't expecting the cheese and chicken to fall off or having blue cheese (I think) in the sauce or having boneless wings that looked like tenders not the best food but cute location and building.Parking: Parking was good not so many people there but cute location.”

“Dottie is not only a wonderful cake baker, but she is also so caring and kind-hearted. Throughout our wedding planning process, she listened to all of our needs and remained flexible when we went through an event date change. There's nothing worse than a dry wedding cake, and let me say that Dottie's was far from it. Everyone enjoyed our cake and kept raving about it! It may have been a little too good, since we didn't get our leftovers back from the venue... Being the kind-spirit that she is, dottie offered to take time out of her busy schedule to make us another cake. You definitely won't go wrong with hiring her for your event! Oh, and remember to keep an eye out for your leftovers at your venue.”

“I have eaten here many times Kevin runs a nice family diner breakfast is always hot made to order and tasty. Kevin and Caspers do a lot for the town of Groton and we are lucky to have hom and his family here.”

“Best Chinese food I've found in Tompkins Co. since moving here from downstate 20 yrs ago.Somewhat limited menu - but everything is cooked beautifully. Very fair prices too, even since the inflation hit a year ago.Extra star for fast order prep....usually under 20 mins.Recommended: chicken w/ garlic sauce (tons of vegetables included!)Vegetarian options: They'll cook any meal to your vegetarian specs!!”

“What an interesting place.I get it, it's a take out pizza joint. But if you did want to eat there, the dining area is in a bowling alley. Talk about interesting ambiance!The food though ... Amazing!The calzones are on point. Toppings plentiful.What more could you want?”

“It’s a really good coffee shop, at first some of the new employees didn’t know how to make certain drinks but over time they learned and mastered it. It’s not as boujie as Starbucks but it’s cheaper than getting a venti for $7 when you can get a large for $4-5. I recommend the Matcha Latte, Vanilla Bean Coolatta, and Chai Latte if you’re looking for something new and refreshing for a hot day during the summer.”

“Went to ETA PIE for the first time on 2/22 to celebrate a friends birthday and man was I impressed. The staff was WONDERFUL, the prices were GREAT and pizza was AMAZING!”

“Absolutely fantastic food at great prices. I’ve never had anything off the menu that I didn’t like. They are striking a unique balance between sophisticated farm-to-table food at diner prices and classic Americana staples that scratch all the itches while still using local ingredients. Every detail of their food, down to excellent local hot sauce and freshly ground pepper and sock salt on the tables, is thoughtful without any degree of snobbery. The space is casual and comfortable and has the feeling of a place you want to become your “spot.””

“Everyone and their mom needs to go to Sicilian delight immediately everything is gas it’s must try! If you are lucky enough to go on a day that Michael is working the service will be even better then the food, seriously the best ”

“Bowl is a healthy meal option but it didn’t hit the mark in terms of taste for me. Fresh fish smell in the meal is not great for me, but if you like that and sea weed, you might love it. I don’t remember the name but a crunchy toppings was great.”

“BEST PIZZA in Ithaca area. Great service. "Franco's Favorite" pizza by the slice or pie is unique and the best. New location is amaizing, open and enjoyable. Super friendly and warm place to share with friends and family.”

“Pros: good food, decent atmosphere, fast service and friendly staffCons: bit of a wait during busy hoursOverall: a little expensive but worthwhile, would recommend.”

“We have visited this restaurant on 10 occasions , including takeout. I am vegetarian so my go to meals at the restaurant tend to be mushroom butter pasta, and vegetarian Ramen soup. The mushroom pasta is an excellent choice for vegetarians. The tofu vegetarian Ramen soup has an abundance of fresh vegetables, and the broth is excellent. I have enjoyed meals there with business partners, family members, and friends Service is prompt and polite. Takeout orders are timely and so far in seven orders we have not experienced a single mistake.Vegetarian options: Mushroom pasta, Vegetable Ramen, Spring rolls.Parking: Restaurant is within an offstreet plaza with shops, including an office of NY DMV.Kid-friendliness: Most tables are 4 tops and I have noticed families with children on most of the in dining visits.”

“Came from Raas profit share!!! Loved the food! Speedy service and such a cute restaurant!! Food was so good and portions were definitely big- I have enough leftovers for my lunch tomorrow!”

“Via's cookies offer the homemade experience you crave, while supporting struggling college students. I'm a particular fan of the vegan, gluten-free varieties and love that we can order these for a group and know there will be something for everyone.”

“This seemed like the best cocktail bar around on our short visit to Ithaca from Brooklyn. Knowledgeable staff, excellent decor and atmosphere, excellent drink menu.”

“Great coffee shop! Nicely plant themed and the service is good. The coffee was solid as well, a 7.6 flat white. The best part of it was being able to take a coffee 5 mins walk to the nearby Ithaca Falls and enjoy a coffee by the waterfall - perfect!”

“Wonderful experiences here over many years. My son is a Cornell undergraduate in Ithaca, NY, so we visit often. The ice cream is home-made by Cornell students from local dairy cows. The Cornell Dairy Bar is in a cafeteria located on campus in a modern building with big glass windows. The space is well-lit with lots of small tables and chairs. The dairy bar serves many unique flavors of home-made ice cream, cones, ice cream floats, sandwiches with vegan options, burgers and hot dogs (of meat or vegan options), a wide variety of drinks, coffees, teas and bottled waters. No beer or alcoholic beverages are available. Prices are very modest and reasonable. Food, service and the local ambiance are excellent, and everything is managed by Cornell students. Ice cream is fresh and flavorful, very smooth and creamy, so it melts easily in your mouth. If you're dieting or vegan, this is definitely worth suspending diet or vegan habits because the interesting, innovative flavors are unpredictable but remarkable and surprising, especially delightful because everything is created and managed by Cornell students, teachers and staff.”

“Good food, good prices. They have a pretty good variety of BBQ and some tasty bbq-related sides. The inside is a funky seating area with an ordering window, and even a little bar! Great food. Owasco Lake Brewing beers on tap. Prison City Brews too. What's not to like?”

“Tasty food consistently. Service always pleasant and efficient. Not a long wait on a busy Sunday. Highly recommended. Quite a few great choices for brunch.Parking: You’ll find a spot.”

“We always enjoy ourselves here. The food and beer selection is wide, so there's a bit of something for everyone. I'm doing dry February, and they had a terrific NA beer from Athletic! My vegetarian friend enjoyed the cauliflower wings. We accommodated a group of 10 on the fly (had unexpected extras), and the staff was ok with us putting tables together. Another nice table of guests even agreed to switch tables with our large group. It just shows that the people here, both patrons and employees, are into the friendly vibe.”

“The ice cream is pretty good here! Got the Trick or Treat (vanilla and marshmallow base with candy inside). As someone who appreciates contrasting textures, I loved the soft, icy sweetness of the vanilla ice cream with the crunch of the MnM and sprinkles. Delicious! It's a little pricey, but a one-scoop is more than enough with a waffle cone for about $8. They don't really skimp on the ice cream, and offer samples. They're all-in for Halloween, with lots of decorations around the store, a pumpkin decorating crafting station, Halloween candy bags, and 30% for coming in with a costume. Would definitely recommend!”

“Traveling the world and working in the service and hospitality industry for 15 years gives you a ton of perspective about quality. This was the absolute most amazing dining experience. The food, service, drinks and atmosphere are beyond anything I have ever had. Thank you to Chef Adam and his Wife Brenna who made the experience so wonderful. Don’t forget to get there right at 5:30 because there will be a line out of the door! DELICIOUS!”

“I've heard about the Lincoln Street Diner from past family members and people from Ithaca. This was my first and not last time dining. The atmosphere is very light, warm and welcoming. It was nice to walk in the door and feel like I stepped back in time. Everyone worked together like a well oiled machine. They wanted you to be there and were ready to serve you. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the counter. Part of the ambiance was listening to the conversations of others. I orderd coffee, and a Philly cheese omelet with homefries and toast. I was delighted to find they offered sourdough bread. The coffee was very good and my food was delicious, made with love and care. The people serving were very kind and attentive. They knew incoming people's orders before they walked in. I left feeling very satisfied and comfortablely full.”

“I wish I had come here sooner! Star is friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing. I had the Delmonico steak with the Gorgonzola Compound Butter and it was cooked to order and tasted great. The scallops appetizer was soft and full of flavor with the Au Gratin sauce! All around great experience and will be back again.”

“Andy is amazing. Just served our family of 22 people plus and his other lunch customers. He didn’t get anything wrong. He was polite the entire time and the food was excellent. Thank you Andy.”

“Gorgers has become a must-do for lunch whenever I visit Ithaca. Great range of creative subs, and I really appreciate that almost everything can be made vegetarian or vegan, using eggplant or their homemade seitan (I've enjoyed the seitan on multiple occasions). Great looking sides, etc., but a small sized sub is more than enough food for me. Can't wait to get back!”

“Really cool spot. Visiting from Nyack, Ny and it's my first time learning about Kava and having the full experience. I don't know how I haven't heard about this before! I felt super relaxed and I loved how people could just come together, and share the moment. Had great conversation, and no judging eyes. Do not leave Ithaca without coming here at least once!”

“Went in on a Sunday evening, there were no tables available but my partner and I were able to get a seat at the bar. She had a glass of Chardonnay and I had a lovely glass of Chablis. Danielle was our bartender and she was great. We got 2 oyster platters with each of the 3 varieties, all of which were delicious. And because we were seated at the bar, we were able to have a conversation and share some jokes with the hostess, Nicole, whose station was nearby. Despite dealing with many walk in customers looking for tables that weren’t available, she was bright and friendly and was so pleasant to talk to. We’d definitely come back and recommend Simeon’s!”
