Monty's By The Lake - Cortland

It's a hour ride for me on my Harley and worth every mile I go because I know I can fill my belly at Monty's by the lake.

Cute rustic diner, we had the fried fish and hand cut fries and boy oh boy was it good. We will definitely be back to try breakfast. Our server was very attentive and she had a full house, she did a superb job ??the only thing I didn’t like is the 4% credit card increase on our bill I feel like if a place accepts credit cards they should pay that not us customers.

Very good food great service You only get great food at these tiny hometown spots.

The food was really good, friendly people, waitress was nice

I never write reviews but I had to share my experience. My family has visited Monty 's in the past and my children love the pancakes. This past Saturday, my daughter woke up asking to go to Monty 's so we met up with a family member at the restauraunt. As soon as we entered we were not greeted, which was understandable because it was relatively busy, but multiple people walked in after us and were greeted enthusiastically with a Good morning! We sat at the table waiting patiently for a server, but eventually I realized the people walking in after us were not only being greeted but also brought menus and the server was taking their orders. We were there for around 25 minutes and we were not even acknowledged. We have never experienced such rude treatment and I had to leave with disappointed children that wanted Monty 's pancakes.
