We have eaten at Connie's many times. The atmosphere is right out of the 50's and we love that. Recently we had breakfast there mid-morning on Sunday, and were not overly impressed. Not the broadest selection of breakfast items, and it took 20 minutes to get eggs! We'll go there for other meals in the future.

Every time we go to Sauders I see more and more. Vegetables are always fresh, baked goods delicious, and the varieties of so many different items is amazing. Spices, baking supplies, cheeses, meats, and grocery shopping heaven. Beautiful building too, and there is a separate section with the outdoor furniture and sheds. Quite the place to shop and eat. The deli is a great lunch stop. We love it there.

Just wanted to add some photos and review from my other review page to here so travelers here know more about it before their visit:
It's a nice place to stop by for tea tasting and/or lunch/dinner on my way to and from Massachusetts and Toronto. There actual business name should be Finger Lakes Tea Company (FLTC). FLTC brochure shows they close at 7pm everyday but FLTC web site show they close at 8pm (Monday - Saturday). We were on our way back from Toronto to Massachusetts. It was around 7:10pm and found they were still open. My advise is if you think you will arrive between 7 - 8pm, call them to ensure they are open during that time frame.
Their dim sum is not superior but not bad either in central NY suburban area. I think their business is balanced with tea, tea sets, and Chinese food (mainly dim sum). They have tea tasting ($2 each set) which comes with 3 cups of your choice of tea from 40+ tea combinations from the menu. We ordered vegetable roll, pork roll, mini pork bun, pork steak with pickled sauce lo mein and 2 sets of tea tasting.
The showroom is decorated nicely and neat with big area showing different types of tea, teapot sets and other Chinese decorating stuff. We end up bought home with a bag of tea, a teapot set, a keychain with horse figurine and a vehicle charm with Buddha figurine.
Certainly, we will come back for more tea tasting and/or dim sum whenever we pass around the area.
4. Love's Italian Ice & Custard

Love's offers fantastic homemade ice cream. As someone who simply enjoys traditional soft ice cream, this place is perfect. The twist of chocolate and vanilla is spot on. The owner and workers are very nice and this is definitely a local business that should be supported by the members of the community.

I stopped in for my second visit to this little local diner, and had another really good breakfast. They had my sugar-free pancake syrup, which is always nice, and both the pancakes and the sausage patties were very good. Service was fast and friendly as well. This place is not fancy, but it does hit the spot.
6. Parkers Grille & Tap house
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 432 reviews
We are a fun pub, many draft beers, a great wine list, and a large menu. We feature daily specials and home made soups every day. We also have live local entertainment every Thursday night 8-11, with a Saturday thrown in there once in awhile. Large parties are not a problem. We have a private dining room for your special occasions that will seat up to 60 people.

First and foremost, our waitress (Eve) was exceptional. After seven hours in a car, I was parched... needed water like a camel needs water... and she kept my glass full on a continuing basis. She was attentive... friendly without being intrusive... everything you want in a waitress!
The food was pretty good.
The smoky chicken wings were a bit over-cooked but tasty... the cup of BBQ sauce provided on the side was much too small.
The Bavarian pretzels were fresh and soft, and the cheese dip and mustard were very tasty. There was a little too much salt on the pretzels, but that was easily resolved by a swipe of the thumb!
My tenderloin medallion sandwich was okay, but disappointing. I ordered the medallions "very well done, just this side of burnt"... they were somewhere between medium and medium well. The peppers and onions were far too reliant on the onions... the peppers were MIA. And the cheese atop the plate overwhelmed the dish... no doubt to hide the relatively small portion of tenderloin medallions on the plate. The roll was very tasty and fresh!
My wife enjoyed her wrap (a bacon blue cheeseburger) tremendously... and thought the steak fries were excellent.
All in all, this is a "recommend" for me. I'd dial back a little on the cooking of the smoky wings and add some bbq sauce... add a tenderloin medallion and some peppers, and cut the cheese in half, on my dish... and this review would approach a "5". I would definitely visit again if I return to the area..m and I'd ask for any table assigned to Eve...

8. Farmers Market Buffet
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 72 reviews
Picture a crisp morning on a Finger Lakes farm. The morning dew evaporating off crisp, delicious produce. Succulent fruit begging to be hand picked. The Farmers Market Buffet harvests the freshest locally-sourced produce, fruits, dairy products, meats and more from the most reputable growers in the region to create an unforgettable dining experience. Sample the best that New York farmers have to offer, which is truly a cornucopia that appeals to everyone’s taste buds.

OK, the only bad thing about this place is that you have to walk through the casino to get to it. They should have an entrance directly from the outside. I get too tempted to play slots or table games, which is a disaster for your pocketbook.
That being said, the food here is the best buffet I have ever been to. They have oysters on the half shell! How many buffets have that? Great cocktail shrimp with cocktail sauce. I love the collard greens, the potstickers, the pan-fried fish. Sooo many great choices that it is hard to decide what to eat. The gelato is also a treat.

What a superb addition to the dining scene in Seneca Falls! Four of us dined here: two younger folks loved the small plates: mussels, lettuce wraps, dumplings, etc., while the older folks liked the homey chicken pot pie. Top quality food and very professional waiter. He made our night with his humour and subtle attempts to get us to try something new! Can't wait to come back.

Finally made it here. Place is a very cute little old school drive-in. Servers were friendly & patient.
Ordered the fried chicken basket dinner (with fries & honey buns).
Chicken was deep fried nicely but had ZERO seasoning which ruined it for me. Fries are those little fries which weren't too bad and they give you plenty. Honey buns are the old school small ones with fresh honey on the bottom of the plate. They were just great! Had a banana split for dessert. It was very small but pretty good. My brother-in-law ordered the burger and it was nothing special. Overall this is a cool little joint to visit but not a go more than once a season place for me.
