★★★★☆ 4.0 Susan Carvel · Nov 2025

We stopped here for breakfast while we were visiting Ithaca. The diner is very small and we ended up sitting at the counter. I really enjoyed watching the cook and the waitress. I could never keep up with the orders as quickly and efficiently as they did! I had the corned beef hash, eggs, and a biscuit, which was very good. My husband also enjoyed the blueberry pancakes. Both our meals were plentiful! Prices were average. If ever we were back in the area, we would return!

Homey, no-nonsense place half a block away from Ithaca Falls. My partner wanted to fuel before a long bike ride so we got the pancakes and eggs with hash. The pancakes were wonderful! Thanks so much for the satisfying meal.

What a great little place! My new favorite breakfast place! My husband had the meat and cheese omelet with sourdough toast and I had scrambled eggs and bacon with a side of french toast. Everything came out hot and delicious! The French toast even had the powdered sugar sprinkled on top - just like how my mother made it! The staff were friendly and personable too! We will definitely go back!

This place is just very nice. The food is very good, prepared just behind the counter, in view of everyone. Their service is very small town feeling and a lot of locals come here. I’ve been coming for a couple of years and enjoy it every time. Edit: my daughter graduated from the local university and sadly I will not be visiting here any longer. Thank you guys for the great business that you run. I will really miss it.

LSD is busy, everyday, because it's a great diner. For you southerners, the cook line gives waffle house vibes. That said, I have no idea if they can throw hands like a WH, because there haven't been any fights while I was there. The food is good. Prices are fair. Service is prompt and polite. You will not regret choosing this diner.
