Went there on a Tuesday evening — typical sports bar vibe, lively and fun. They were running a half-off burger promo, so I ordered the beer cheese burger, and wow, it was very delicious! Honestly, if I did a blind taste test, I’d think it was a $50 burger — but it only cost me $7, plus $3 for crispy, fresh fries.
The service was below par, and there is definitely room to improve, but that’s probably because the promo brought in a big crowd. Still, that burger alone makes it worth coming back.
Giving it 5 stars purely for the food — it far exceeded my expectations, and the price was an absolute steal!

Never eaten there in person but I’ve ordered delivery through apps a few times. Food is delicious. Portions are decent. Maybe a tiny bit of extra mushrooms on the mushroom Swiss burger would be cool though. The only complaint I really have is slight inconsistency in receiving what’s ordered. Overall correct each time just small little things that are wrong. Last time one of my side sauces was missing. Not really a big deal. This time I was supposed to get truffle parm fries but recieved regular fries. Also not really a big deal. In house it wouldn’t be a problem to fix, quick and easy but on delivery not so much. I’ll definitely continue to order and I’d definitely recommend this place to other people but maybe try to work on making sure they’re 100% right, especially if it’s takeout/delivery. Overall 4.75 stars, if you could do portions of stars lol.

The best fries I’ve ever eaten!! I’ve been there thousands of times, and I love that they have a daily menu where you can enjoy great food for less. My favorite is definitely the Philly cheesesteak and fries.

I ordered the fig and pig salad, was fantastic for a low fodmap option for GI sensitive people, just dont get the chicken with it and pick out the figs or ask for them not to be added. I got the fries too, they were amazing especially dipped in the balsamic glaze from the fig and pig salad! The drinks are a little strong but if you like that this is the place for you!

A mediocre dining experience with decent pretzel bites and good music.
We visited Courtside Bar and Grill on a weekend evening between 8 and 11pm. The establishment was busy.
Courtside is a newer establishment in downtown Binghamton, and as the name suggests Courtside focuses heavily on playing basketball on their many televisions set up throughout the bar. While most downtown establishments are focused more toward the younger, college crowd, the choice of music struck me as interesting as Courtside was playing a lot of late 90’s/early 2000’s alternative, which is right up my alley.
We decided to check this new eatery out while we were downtown for another event and even though the establishment was busy we were immediately greeted and shown a seat. There is nothing bad to report on Service her, as it continued to be very quick throughout our visit and we waited very little time between ordering, receiving our appetizer, and receiving our main course. For an appetizer we ordered pretzel bites with cheese, and for the main course we ordered a PB&J burger and a buffalo chicken melt.
While the pretzel bites were good, things got a bit sub-par at the main course. The buffalo chicken melt was highly disappointing as there were more blue cheese crumbles in my sandwich than there was chicken and it greatly overpowered the rest of the flavors in the sandwich, even the buffalo itself. The fries were nothing special and were not seasoned when they hit the table, although they did come out hot and crispy. The PB&J burger was fine, but a bit overcooked and incredibly sticky, although sticky should be expected with this burger and isn’t in itself a reason for complaint.
Overall our visit to Courtside wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t really memorable. I could see us eating here again if we find ourselves downtown for another event, but it will likely find a spot a little lower down in our rotation with hopes of a better experience next time.

We ordered buffalo garlic parm wings and they were so dry they had no flavor. No sauce on them at all. wings are low quality before lack of sauce.

I didn’t get my food yet, but it’s straight banging. Atmosphere, I would rate higher than 5 if I could. Overall, a phenomenal place if your looking for more than just food.

Great atmosphere bartenders need to be a bit more personable in my opinion. Thursday night $7 wing and $3 beer special is fantastic probably the best in town. Looking forward to my next visit. Tuesday’s $5 burgers are absolutely fantastic.

Courtside Bar & Grill absolutely delivers the BEST burgers in Binghamton! I tried their signature Courtside Burger, and it was a game-changer—juicy, perfectly cooked patty, packed with flavor, and that special sauce on a toasted brioche bun was pure perfection. The atmosphere is lively, with a fun sports vibe and great service that makes you feel right at home. If you’re a burger lover, this place is a must-visit. Already looking forward to my next trip!
