Excellent vibes!! Superb bobblehead collection!! I grabbed a chef salad and chicken tenders to go, they were awesome!! Honey Mustard and the salad dressing were both so good and clearly made in house!
A classic restaurant with great burgers and pub fare. Has maintained quality over many years, but now you do need to order at the bar and serve yourself. Nice outdoor seating lower off the main road when weather cooperates.
All food is served as takeout, but there are plenty of tables on multiple levels inside and out where you can eat. While you wait for the food, there is an arcade, shuffle board, and darts. It was actually a little hard to keep track of where my family was going back and forth to get the drinks and food. The lake view is mostly blocked by trees but it is still very pretty. Crab cake sandwich was small but affordable which was nice!
The quintessential "local". Great atmosphere, good beer and nice food. The high point is ofcourse the beautiful surroundings. Great place for family, friends.
Everything is perfect at Glenwood Pines. We visited on a slow Thursday afternoon in the early spring and had the pleasure of being treated like royalty by the owner. Perfect views, food, and libations. Game room with arcade games, pool table, and shuffleboard. Must try the wings and burger 😋 Also, get the best peanut butter pie in the world. Don't skip out on merchandise!
Nice little restaurant/bar. Food was good. They have indoor/outdoor seating. You order at the bar and pick it up when done. We had the wings-chicken tenders & fried pickles
Get out of the chain eateries and check in to this local spot. Ordered the burgers...they'll remind you of a good cookout! They are good. There is a full bar so you can get adult drinks, but this place is also family friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating with a view of the lake.
One of the best burgers in the greater Ithaca / Finger lakes region. Thin / smash style burgers so I get the double. Pines sauce is also a great addition and fries are much better than average. Also very good wings - they're rubbed with a nice seasoning and smoked - then finished in the fryer (most places do one OR the other and doing both really steps them up another level) and they have two sauces to pick from if you want to add a little more flavor (Buffalo or Korean BBQ - both excellent)
For those looking for a view of the lake, several tables have a nice view through some gaps in the trees, so you can feel like you're eating by the lake. And really, only a couple places in the Ithaca area can say that, and none of them have the burgers and reasonable prices of 'The Pines'.
My only 'knock' is they don't have a huge beer selection (a few taps) and you have to ask what bottles / cans they have as they don't put up a list. So many great local breweries I wish they had a few more options (they always have a couple though).
- also to note - no more 'wait staff' - order food/drinks at the bar and go find a place to sit - they will call your name out, so it helps to not go too far until you have your food.
What a great little find we sat outside on a beautiful day with views of the lake had a wonderful steak sandwich and my wife had a crab sandwich. Nice selection of beer friendly staff very reasonable prices nice people to sit with as well. Beer was served in their own special plastic glasses, which we were allowed to keep a very nice souvenir.
Came here on a Friday evening and it was honestly only about half full. You order at the bar here - there aren't any servers so it feels more like a bar than a restaurant (they do have what I believe is a full bar too).
I got their famous pine's burger and a side of apple sauce. The burger is served not on a regular hamburger bun, but rather what seemed like a french roll. Honestly, it was a good decision - the bread was really good. However, the rest of the burger was pretty mid in my opinion and I don't know what separates it from other burgers.
The food came out fast and the pricing is quite good - I paid about $12 for my whole meal.
Best burgers OF YOUR LIFE. Thick cuts, keep the juice in, take a bite and you’re floating over Lake Cayuga. Is there too much plastic with the whole order-out culture - yes- but the quality has never waned. Grab a souvenir cup, talk with the waitress, check out the NFL bobble heads, and order a bucket if you’re inclined. Most creative corridor to a bathroom I’ve ever seen - if you a rock a XXL, God Bless. Burgers to go, or stay, support your local establishments, head on over to Buttonwood, stay regal. Bless.
We ordered the Crabwich and Fish Reuben with a side of Fried Corn Nuggets. The crab sandwich was served in a white bun with options of lettuce and tomato. The crab was light and very tasty. The Fish Reuben was large and also tasty. The coleslaw that it came with was creamy without being overpowering. The service is at the bar and quick!
Great burger, worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving a burger. Rest of the menu is probably great too, but I'm kind of stuck on the burger. I like the atmosphere too, might not be for everyone, but in my humble opinion I wouldn't change a thing
Had a great lunch here with my boyfriend. Their homemade chips are amazing! Definitely recommend over the fries. I got the chicken sandwich which was a solid choice and the sloppy Joe hot dog special my boyfriend got was even better. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake which was also really good. Everything was reasonably priced and don't be scared away by the takeout style dining. They have lots of open tables with great views of the lake you're allowed to use, and some fun arcade games in the basement if you're interested.
Comfortable, friendly, roadside dinner with a Beautiful view of Lake Cayuga. We happened by in the fall, so the leaves were beautiful. The food is wonderful. We had the Corn Chowder, Salmon Burger and the Chicken Fingers meal. Each dish was cooked wonderfully. Flavor and freshness were great. You'll also find a myriad of sandwiches, burgers and salads on the menu. I'd definitely stop again.
great food and friendly staff. best burgers and onion rings anywhere!
