  Cozy, no nonsense joint. PLENTY of country decor, especially stuffed toy bears.
  
  I think we were there on an off day. Our server was a bit irritated, but that's his problem. (It was quite busy when we arrived, nearly full capacity - including counter diners.)
  
  Several tables around us were lacking service or follow up service, so I'm thinking he was doing his best trying to fill in for someone else.
  
  We ordered breakfast. I was going to get hash and eggs. When I asked the server if it was home made hash, he curtly answered NO. Strike One.
  
  My wife had eggs, toast and home fries. She ordered a muffin for my daughter. I ordered sauage biscuits and gravy. At this point the place was less than half capacity.
  
  Orders came (eventually), you get a LOT of food for a little money!
  
  However, our food was luke warm (strike 2) and they warmed up the muffin for my daughter by cutting it in half and grilling it. It was almost burned.
  
  The server never checked back on us (or tables around us that ordered ahead of us). So we never had a chance to get anything fixed, drink refills, etc.
  
  Strike 3.
  
  If I'm invited I might go back there, but we will probably not return on our own.

  Looking for a quick breakfast on our way out of Ithaca, we stopped into the Country Kitchen. We were delighted to find out that they serve breakfast until 2pm. The lemonade and iced tea were country authentic and delicious. The corned beef hash was out of this world as was the French toast we couldn't resist ordering for the table to share. All in all it was a great stop with friendly service. And contrary to another review, we were able to pay via credit card and appreciated the teddy bear motif.

  Stopped here on the way back from Ithaca. I'm not sure why we didn't actually eat in Ithaca. That's another story. This was one of those "we're starving and stopping at the next place that looks decent - that isn't a fast food joint." We were immediately overwhelmed with the decor. When they say country, they aren't kidding. It was as though that Country Living magazine walked in and puked all over the place. Puke is too strong. Hurled sounds better. It was like that magazine hurled country everywhere. But it's not bad. It's unique. Better than beige walls, black chairs and plastic tables.
  
  The waitress was very friendly. She sat us down, handed off the menus and quickly took our drink orders. The drinks showed up moments later and we placed our order. My wife has the gluten allergy and this waitress knew the score. She made sure to check on everything my wife ordered was sans gluten. I ordered, yes, breakfast. It's that diner disease I have. I ordered eggs over easy, toast, home fries. All well cooked, tasty, well seasoned and the home fries were crispy (very, very important). My wife went for the burger platter with no bun. Standard fare all around. It was good and if we're ever starving in Whitney Point, we'll probably stop again.
  
  Cash only folks, be warned.

  Stopped in on my way back from Ithaca...not much to look at from the outside, but cozy, family atmosphere inside..staff were very polite and attentive...I ordered the breaded cauliflower which was excellent...and the hamburger platter, which was mounded with fries and a nice, juicy flavorful 6oz burger perfectly cooked. I'd stop at this
  Place again...too bad it's so far from me..I'd become a regular..
