Our favorite burger in town is the Perfect Burger . It comes one way, no substitutions, so if you happen to not like pickles or tomatoes or what have you, you'll need to design your own.

Everything that passed by me looked amazing. I had the surf and turf burger which was flavorful and juicy! The fish and chips were also yummy. Drinks were good and strong and fairly inexpensive too!

Jennie D.

I absolutely love this place. Great beer selection (try a flight if you're indecisive) and you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Wait times are a little long on weekends, but worth it.

Kira Hovancik

Best burgers ! The fat kid or the perfect burger !! Can't go wrong! Also the nachos are my fav and the chicken wing dip and fish & chips are other good choices! French onion soup is fabulous!

Katie Crudele

Definitely order a Racer 5 ! Unless you don't like hoppy beer , in which case the Harpoon UFO White is great, too. Foodwise, everything on the menu is awesome. Never had a bad meal here... Ever!

Patrick Aldrich

One of the best restaurants in Ithaca. Check out the live music on Saturday nights! Definitely going to miss the great staff here now that I've graduated

You always seem to have great daily specials so be sure to ask what they are.

Charlotte Robinson

Surf and Turf burger is a great choice here. Can't go wrong with their beer & food pairings either

We love the eggplant fries as an appetizer , the onion soup will warm up any chilly day, and the Perfect Burger is still the best in town .

The pastrami sandwich was surprisingly good, I like the thick cut toast it came on, the beer selection wasn't as amazing as I was expecting though

Paula Summit

Had the Kobe burger and honestly I couldn't tell the difference from a regular burger . My advice - follow the advice of others and get the perfect burger ...

Hey bartender ? I'm not your "bud." And that word is not ok. But the beer is good, so I'll let it slide.

Michael Simpson
