Nice little place on Elmiras Southside. The food was delicious, served up quickly and the service was warm and friendly. We will definitely be back.
Best sausage gravy in the area in my opinion. Classic little diner with good, cheap food. Just keep in mind they are cash only 👍
Renovated and delicious food. Anytime of the day! Closes early evening, but opens EARLY am!!
Food was delicious. For being as busy as they were service was still very good
Cash onlyLiked the food. Servers are really hard working. Place was crowded on a Monday (holiday) morning.
For the price food and service were great. Support the small local places.
Stopped in for breakfast and the food was really good and super cheap. Cash only but they do have an ATM inside and at the gas station next store.
Menu is basic American favorites!Food was served quickly and plates nicely! The quality and quantity was perfect. Especially loved the meat sauce.Our waitress was working alone, but she was hustling! She was polite and friendly while making everyone happy!Excellent service.
Wonderful place to eat great prices and awesome people love it there
Food was delicious and got to our table fast. Wait staff were friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant was packed. Got three full breakfasts for $27. You cant beat the prices. One of the rare gems in Elmira. Excited to return next time we visit NY
Always a great place!! Good food and good service with good prices!! I eat in there almost every Saturday!!
Excellent corned beef and cabbage! Best weve had in years! Shout out to Jared Fish!
Good food and great people!
Awesome place to eat! Excellent portions, and value for the money.Super clean facility with VERY attentive staff.Cash only, so be prepared.
Awesome prices and food! Inside needs to be updated tho. The workers are friendly!Be aware, still as of 12/27/2021 this establishment only accepts cash.Edit: 1/7/2022 menu has a new look and prices have been raised. They have also changed brands of their food it seems since the corn beef hash is different than before and they added a different seasoning to our breakfast potatoes. But all was ok and you still get a decent bang for your buck. I still recommend.
My mom was so thrilled with this place, staff was wonderful and the food and prices were great. We will definitely be back!
Found hair on my plate not the first time either the lady who assisted me had a attitude
My boyfriend and I went here for the first time the other day for breakfast. Everything was perfect; the atmosphere, the waitresses, the food, and the prices. This was one of the best places I have been too lately and would recommend it to everyone.
Excellent food and service!
One of Elmiras oldest mom & pop restaurants, and, by far the best, great service, great prices, and awesome selection. If youve never been, skip the chains and give em a try.
Its small, its cramped, but the food is good and prices are cheap. One of the last hole-in-the-wall places left after King Cuomo shut everything down. Be prepared to wait for a table, because its also pretty popular.
The place was exceptionally busy and our waitress did her very best to accommodate us. She was great, actually. If you like trying mom and pops, give it a shot.
Loved this place growing up and its always a friendly place to go with such tasty food!
Food was great. Service was quick even though they were quite busy. Great little local place to stop on vacation.
Wonderful people and amazing food!
Always amazing breakfast with awesome service!
I honestly love coming here. The experience is very family friendly, the food is great and the staff is welcoming.
The waitresses are very friendly and are good at what they do!
Sorry not as impressed as I was the last time. I ordered a bacon Cheeseburger. It was horrible. I did tell the waitress and she told the cook... the cooks response was worse than my burger in which I couldnt eat. She told the waitress well yelled it behind my head that she didnt know what I wanted from her.. Hopefully they make a change. It might be a while before I go back.
Good food, great prices, wonderful staffing! Always a pleasurable experience!
We went here because it seemed like a cheap and quick place to grab a bite to eat on our way back home. Unfortunately, after being seated and getting our drink order, we never saw the server again or were acknowledged at all. Cant speak on the food since we didnt even get to order in the near half hour we waited, but the service ruined any chance of enjoying this place anyway.
The food was excellent. The staff is nice. The bathrooms were clean but I had to put toilet paper out. The booths are somewhat scruffed up so dont wear clothes that will pill easily. Bring an appetite. The servings are nicely generous! I loved the coffee. I tried both the regular and the decaf. Both were equally nice.
It is not very often that I get genuinely impressed by breakfast foods. Like... Lick the plate-Write your mama-Thank Jesus- kind of impressed. I walked into Ann’s pancakes at 9am with my two sons. First Impression: wow this place is busy! Second Impression: what beautiful booths and flooring! We were quickly seated as soon as a table was available, received our drinks promptly, and got our orders sent to the cook ASAP. Food was ready and hot to our table shortly thereafter.Son #1 ordered 3 chocolate chip pancakes. Oh my goodness. What HUGE pancakes. And I’m pretty certain they used an entire bag of chocolate chips just for his order! Perfectly fluffy and completely devoured.Son #2 ordered a cheese omelet and cinnamon toast. Melts, cheesy perfection for the omelet; planning to try the “garbage omelet next time! The cinnamon toast was kissed with just enough cinnamon and a perfectly golden toast. Melted butter on it and oh Lordy!!I ordered my usual breakfast that I order anywhere I go. Corned beef hash EXTRA EXTRA crispy with two eggs over-easy. I put emphasis on EXTRA crispy because that’s how I always order it, and order breakfast joints still send out a mushy pile of bleh. That was not the case at Ann’s!! Crispy crunchy deliciousness with perfectly runny eggs right on top. I couldn’t have made it better myself at home!Overall, I give Ann’s Pancakes an overwhelming 10/10. The staff was friendly, the coffee kept coming, and the restaurant was impeccably clean. We will definitely be eating many more breakfasts out!
Surprisingly good food at a great price, and our waitress was very kind. Though it is cash only so be sure to stop at an atm/bank before you go.
Great food at amazing prices!
Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff and clean environment. Can’t ask for more in an establishment.
Great old fashioned diner. Food is good and served up fast! Even with price increases due to Covid the food is a good value.
Went there in the snowstorm, it was very busy and they kept up with everything very well. The staff was pile e and friendly despite the fact they were short staffed due to the storm. Food was excellent and prices were fair.
This was a great mom and pop place to have breakfast. Food was really good even our very picky daughter was happy with there food. We will be returning again soon. Thank you Lisa for great service and thank you to the cook that made great food.
Food was great and the service is spectacular... Highly recommended
Absolutely a gem in Elmira, so glad we made the stop, eggs were cooked perfectly and the waitresses/cooks are on top of their game!!!Good vibe!!!
The food was great ,the service was nice. Always a nice place for breakfast or lunch.
Love the atmosphere and the food was wonderful. All around great place
Well normally the food is really good. Cheep prices. Waiting 45 minutes then left. Really good hash if u are willing to wait for them to get their lifes together
A little skeptical going into Annes but once we got there and sat down and saw the food coming out we were so glad we came. Mom and I both had the LA French Toast, we are still talking about it weeks later. It was amazing, the waitress was friendly and the people there were all so pleasant. We were only on an overnight trip but I do hope one day to go back for more of their french toast. Prices are so cheap and the food is delicious. Highly recommend!
1 of 2 original dinners that still has good food.. And great service..good home town.. Home cooked meals.. Steaks are good to..
The service is great. The food was a literal delectable masterpiece! Especially the pancakes, the best Ive ever eaten. You may pass this place because of how it looks, almost did too. But damn. That was a GREAT breakfast.
Great food great service even better prices
Great Food and Staff was awesome!!! I come here every time Im in town on vacation!!
It doesnt get any more HOMETOWN DINER than Annes Pancakes in Elmira, NY! Its just like I remembered from my childhood. I recently moved back to my hometown and had to go to Annes Pancakes for Sunday breakfast. Good food. Best prices in town. The only drawback is that the place is so popular theres always a wait.
We were waiting for 10+ minutes standing at the door, looking at 2 tables becoming available and nobody even said hello. There is a sign at the door that says Wait to be seated!
Local Ma & Pop type dinner, all the locals go here for daily breakfast. Excellent food & friendly services. I would totally recommend eating here for breakfast or lunch or both, why not? Foods amazing.&!! They have a unisex bathroom. All genders welcomed here. I love it.
Great food and service at a fantastic price. Delish!
Wife, friend and myself went for fish fry. They both got the fish fry and I ordered a seafood platter to include 3 deep fried, butterflied shrimp and deep fried clam strips in addition to the deep fried fish. The meal included 2 sides (macaroni and cheese, slaw, fries, side salad) a roll and associated condiments. Overall, the meals were very tasty! There seemed to be only one small problem and that was with the fried fish. Not sure if it was crowding the fried or if the temp dropped or the time was a bit short or even the batter was not thin enough, but we did find that there were a few uncooked, doughy parts. The fish itself appeared to be cooked, but some thicker parts of the batter, although appearing cooked, were not completed. These were simply peeled off and removed. The fish itself was good and the service was exemplary. In some places, this seems to be an ongoing issue with Friday night fish frys. Prices were what one expected with the fish dinner @ $9.50 and seafood platter @ $11.95. We enjoyed Lisa waiting tables and she checked often for our needs. We would return in the future for another!
It was good, but major poopage hours later.Sausage biscuit and Gravy (sauce) tasted like it was from a can, which was more satisfying when it came out the other end hours later.Keep it high and tight anne and stay hydrated.
Good place for breakfast when you are in Elmira. They probably have good lunches too, but I have only ever been there for breakfast. I really enjoy their Garbage Omelet. Service is friendly but they are very busy most times when I have been there.
Good food, good price, great company.
The food is comforting to me. I go there when I dont feel like cooking and doing the dishes. My 2 boys and I can eat whatever we want for all under $20. And we usually share a big piece of cake for dessert.
Anns has been a staple diner in Elmira for as long as I can remember.Went for lunch today and the place was packed! Counter, booth, and table seating available. All different people eat here and it might be the truest cross section of Elmiras varied population.Menu is full of comfort food choices and breakfast is served til close. The prices are unrivaled, this is affordable and hearty cuisine. Drinks are served canned or bottled with a glass of ice. The Coffee is on all day. Dessert pies are in the cooler near the counter and change regularly (banana cream was delicious!)Parking is on the South Main St and in the small lot behind the building. Dont block the alley ;)
Awesome food, service and prices. Cash only. Old style diner, hole in the wall. Very clean, great service. Food is excellent, prices very reasonable.The locals eat here, always a good recommendation.
Amazing classic diner!!!! Huge, fluffy pancakes with plenty of chocolate chips/blueberries if thats the way you like them. The LA cinnamon french toast is also to die for. Great classic egg/meat/homefry type breakfasts with huge portions, low prices, and fast service. The building hasnt seen an update in years, no frills, but this place cant be beat!!
Amazing place to eat! They take CASH only. Cheap food menu and fast service. Not to mention friendly staff. SEAT YOURSELF ONLY! CASH ONLY!
Quintessential hole in the wall diner. Cash only (of course). Staff has been here for 1,000 years and are happy and able to answer any questions. Great food, good prices, fast service. Looking for diner food in Elmira, you found it!
Place was very dated and dinghy. Poor service we waited a long time and then finally had to ask for someone to take our order. (They had forgotten us) when food came out home fried were very burnt.
Good food Great prices.. Home cooking goodness!
Every trip to Elmira includes a stop at Annes. Been enjoying the food here for 45 years.
This place is fantastic! Favorite of my grandfather and know why. Excellent food, prices, and service. Was quick and left stuffed. Anyone nearby should definitely stop by.
This is our favorite place to get breakfast, locally. Our family comes here all the time, enough for the wait staff to recognise us. The food is always dependably good if not great. The only downside here is sometimes its super super busy.
In a world of chain restaurants, Annes is a great little place with a small hometown feel. The food is good for the price and the staff is friendly. Love having breakfast there.
Food was very good. We had breakfast...omelet, French toast and potatoes with sausag and gravy!It was busy so the waitress never came back to ask if we needed more drinks or anything
Terrific food and service
Possibly the best breakfast spot in the area. Cozy comfort food in large portions and extremely cheap prices. Ive tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed.
Had breakfast for supper. The home fries were excellant.
Very good home style cooking with a pleasant wait staff. Their garbage omellete is awesome. Prices are very reasonable when compared to other places and this includes fast food joints.
They have amazing food for amazing prices!!!
Good food, good staff, will visit often.
The food was really good and quick. The staff was good, fairly nice. Ill be back
Friendly, knowledgeable customer service with delicious food at affordable prices. Stopped in today to get a couple of gift certificates for others to use in the future.
Ordered omelets and got eggs and cheese just thrown into a to-go box and was over charged for them. Usually this place is good
Great place! Ive gone three times and everything Ive ordered was very tasty. Cheap and well worth a visit.
Love it theyre always friendly, reasonably priced, and never get my order wrong.
Great place for delicious breskfast at a very reasonable price. The staff is very friendly and attentive, they checked in on our table and refilled our waters multiple times during the meal.

2022-04-29It has a great family feel. Food is always tasty and the prices are great. There are not to many places left where you can get good fresh meal and drink for under $10. Ive been going here for years, between here and welsburg dinner. Good food great prices and family atmosphere.

2022-07-09The service was nice but unfortunately the food definitely was not what we remembered the eggs were incorrectly cooked the toast was burnt and dry and the potatoes were burnt to a crisp on one side inside looks nicer than it used to looks like a remodel but the food itself was the downer

2022-01-02Honestly we had a great meal! We were in a time crunch before a baseball game. My daughter loves that she could have a breakfast sandwich with her French fries for dinner. My turkey club was delicious. Waitress was lovely and when the gravy for my dads fries wasnt hot it was taken care of quickly and hot gravy delivered.

2021-12-27Just had breakfast, but both the eggs and bacon were cooked exactly as ordered, hashbrowns were very good, even tried sausage gravy for first time and loved it! Service was excellent and then came the check...it was the most reasonable of any Ive seen in ages!If you never been, go. You wont be disappointed.

2022-05-05Very old-fashioned, simple diner. Very busy. Waitress was very nice. Food was just ok. Not the type of place for a salad. Stick to eggs and toast here.
