Red White Cafe - Ithaca

This charming establishment serves exceptional food quickly and efficiently, making it a favorite among builders, community members, and anyone on a lunch break who doesn’t have much time to spare. Despite its small size, this business has an enormous heart, providing outstanding service and delicious meals, all while boasting a long-standing history in the community. The city of Ithaca should recognize this cafe as a vital contributor to the local food scene and the construction industry that helps shape our city. Make sure to stop by, say hello, and enjoy some truly fantastic food! On Fridays, their fried haddock sandwiches are out of this world. They also offer mouthwatering fried chicken, foot-long chili dogs, and delicious burgers—you might just end up ordering more than one! I've been a loyal customer for years, and their food just keeps getting better. I apologize for not mentioning this gem sooner!

The quality of the food is comparable to other well-known fish fry spots in the area, but I prefer their sauce. The fish and herbs taste fresh. The ambiance of the place feels like it could spring to life at any moment. Parking on the street is easy to find.

I enjoyed some of the best fried oysters I've ever tasted at this restaurant. While the prices were a bit high, the quality of the food made it worth it; it's nice to actually get what you pay for. I highly recommend this place. I believe they either bring in fresh catches from the sea or purchase directly from local beach vendors. Overall, I would give it 5 stars; it was truly a great experience!

Diamond in the rough, as my wife described the Red and White Cafe. We both ordered the fish dinner, come with Pommes and Cole Slav. The best fish I had! Fresh, perfect amount of dough and not oily! Then we had their homemade lime cake. Fantastic! Maybe you could get a better one in Key West; but I'm not convinced. You make a lot of take-out business, but there are seats for 26. Nothing beautiful you order at the counter, more than likely one of the family members will deliver your food to the table. Tables are either 2 or 6 seats with plastic knives and forks. They also give you cutlery if necessary. Many other great comfort food on the menu. Stay here when you're in town!

Good fish. We ordered and was told 10 15 mins. We went inside and they asked did we order...we said yes we called they laughed and said they forgot lol but they were so nice we excuse it and waited and I have to say the fish was good too
