Glenwood Pines

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.

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!

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.

Had a good experience with the fish fry and fried mushrooms. As others have said, their reliance on single use plastic prevents me from wanting to go often, but I'm excited to stop by in the summer and sit by the lake. The crowd was a lot more college/frat oriented than I expected, but everyone was respectful. There were families there as well.

This place serves its burgers on fresh French bread, which is a subtle, yet excellent twist on a standard burger. For that reason, myself and everyone I know always loves it here. Since Covid, you pick up your food at the bar, and bring it back to your table, but it works. Overall, their burgers (even the burger salad) has been consistently outstanding for as long as I can remember.

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.

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!

Nice find! Excellent fish platter and can you say fried ravioli & corn nuggets. Beautiful view of Lake Cayuga with able outdoor seating. Friendly staff.

Dinner/lunch with a view. The best burger in the finger lakes. Can take a while to get food so order ahead or grab a beer and enjoy the view.

The best hidden gem in the finger lakes. Down to earth staff and great food. It’s an order everything at the bar type of place. They have seating indoors and outside. There is also a second level with a few games including shuffle board darts golf and pool. Great area to just relax and kill some time. The beer is decent but the food is to die for. Try the Ruben fish sandwich.

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!

Delicious crab cake sandwich, fried mushrooms and white Russian were a perfect compliment to the view from the patio.

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.

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

Great place to stop. Good service, food, atmosphere. I had the Tully Burger with broccoli bites. He had the fish fry and we shared a delicious slice of peanut butter pie.
