I would go here every weekend for breakfast a few years ago, and recently was in town and visited again. Some of the same people are still working there, and it's just as cozy as it always was. Prices are really good. Food is good. Has it's own parking lot. It's close to where they host the grassroots festival and fair, and the dinosaur museum. The bathrooms are kept up with, and are one person at a time so sometimes there's a few people waiting.

Great food, friendly small town vibe, long time favorite for a reason, quality ingredients= good food. Stop across the street for ice cream for dessert.

What a great find!!! Super breakfast. Place was so friendly and clean. Many customers in there and almost all were greeted by name. We will definitely be back when we are traveling the wine trail.

We stumbled upon this little gem on our way home from the Finger Lakes, and I’m so glad we did! The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It’s definitely a spot for locals which is my favorite kind of place! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. A great find and worth a stop if you’re in the area!

Falls Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a fantastic variety, and every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Service was prompt and attentive without ever feeling rushed, which made the whole experience even better. The attention to detail, from presentation to taste, truly sets this place apart. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or a special occasion, Falls Restaurant delivers every time. Highly recommend!

We stopped here for breakfast before hiking to the falls. Great food, but the best was our waitress, Denise. Wonderful sense of humor and she gave us some info about the falls.

We stopped in at Falls Restaurant after spending the morning exploring the trails at Taughannock Falls. What a wonderful surprise. You’ll be hard pressed to find an establishment like this out in the wild these days, but the Falls has been around since 1988. A great little spot with ample seating, great staff, and a menu of homemade breakfast and lunch items. We got the tuna melt, Falls harvest salad, and homemade creamy cauliflower soup and it was all absolutely delicious. Excellent service, both the bartender and our server were so sweet. Stop in for a delicious home cooked meal and you won’t regret it.

This is a good diner. Extremely decent prices for quintessential American diner breakfast and lunch meals. The staff here is on the ball and always ready to help. Prompt coffee refills and timely service. Decent children's activities while you wait for your order. The restaurant is well located for a lunch or breakfast break if you are visiting taughannock State park or other local attractions. Lots of parking and also right next to grassroots.

This is by far one of the best breakfasts we have had out in a long time. Food tasted amazing and the staff was great.

This place is where local farmers go. It feels down to earth country style. We had breakfast here one Sunday morning. The place was full but the wait wasn't too bad. Great food, generous portion and great prices. We enjoyed a lot.

The food here was excellent. Homemade bread toast and homemade bread French toast! Delicious omelettes!

Nice diner type restaurant. Homemade bread looked very good on the sandwiches. My mother-in-law ordered the carrot cake which she liked. I did not see nor were we offered kids menus. The waitress did bring a coloring book and crayons for the kids to color in which was nice but not everyone would appreciate that it was already colored on most pages. But the restaurant was cozy and clean, wait staff was friendly and food was good enough.

This is a little out of the way place in wine country. The decor is cool with a country cabin vibe. They have a decent sized menu, with all of the common breakfast food, although I was surprised at the prices. Considering if you order an omlette, other than toast. that is litterly all you get. Almost anywhere I have been, some sort of potatoes come with an omlette. The omlette I got had onion, peppers, mushrooms, cheese, sausage, & ham. All of their omlettes are made with 2 eggs. So, to reiterate, the prices are high for what you get. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with this place. And would NOT recommend a visit unless there was nowhere else close to where you were going. One odd thing I would like to add, its the bathrooms. They are located down the hall in back of the restaurant. The light for the bathrooms is located down the hall outside of the bathroom. You would think they would put a sign on the door telling you where the light switch is at. But I ended up using my phone for light. It wasn't till I was done and coming back done the hall, did staff member tell me about the light switch.

Do not get the fish 😒 was just looking for a quick bite while in the area hiking. Saw tons of people in the morning there so decided to stop in for late lunch. Not what we expected on the inside. Bar area was the only spot open to eat, the regular dining area was closed off. The bar area has a dark dirty atmosphere, very different from the rest of the restaurant. The fish and chips was disgusting, burnt geasy hockey pucks with very little fish and a ton of greasy breaded coating. Cousin loved the macaroni salad tho. Ladies were nice, just not attentive to customers. I wouldn't be back
