Hand Jive is truly and exceptionally good. Although it's newer to the Owego restaurant scene, it's comfort food at its absolute best! I got the France hand pie and it is one of the better foods I've had in a long time. Give this place a shot for a great meal!

Best authentic cornish pasty in the area. My husband's family is Cornish so he grew up eating pasties and can confirm that these are the real deal. If you get one thing from this place, get the pasty. We also had the empanada and the samosas which were delicious too. Generous filling and handmade pastry crusts. Ugh, so good. Such a local gem.

We gathered the family in Owego for Thanksgiving. The day after our wonderful homemade dinner we opted for takeout from Hand Jive. What a spectacular treat. Everything was made to order. Everything was spectacular. We all enjoyed a well prepared and varied meal. Hand pies of all nations. Since they were all so good, I can't pick a favorite. Try them all.

Great food. And sitting on the deck overlooking the river while eating it can't be beat!

Really great food and great quantity and price. Super fresh, such a gem of a place. We got the French and Puerto Ricans and plan to go back weekly to try the rest. So happy this place opened in Owego. Hope they expand to Vestal soon too!
