Glenwood Pines Restaurant
Glenwood Pines
A longtime roadside restaurant on the west shore of Cayuga Lake, known for its Pinesburger served on an Ithaca Bakery baguette, and for Friday fried fish that often has a line.
Glenwood Pines sits on Route 89 (Taughannock Blvd) about 6 miles north of downtown Ithaca, overlooking Cayuga Lake, and is a classic stop on the way to Taughannock Falls. Its signature Pinesburger is made to order with freshly ground beef and served on an Ithaca Bakery baguette with Thousand Island dressing or mayonnaise. The fried fish is also well known, and the line on Friday evenings often gets long. Ordering is self-serve, and there's a patio where dogs are welcome. The Bloody Mary is another signature. You need to drive there, and hours change with the season, so call ahead to confirm before you go.
