Cortland, Ohio — A Trumbull County Neighbor
Cortland is one of those Trumbull County cities that does not need to shout. It is the county seat in all but name of a tight-knit community — home to Lakeview Local Schools, a proud Lakeview Bulldogs athletics tradition, and a natural landscape anchored by nearby Mosquito Lake State Park. Cortland families know good things are worth a short drive.
Like every community along the Niles-Cortland Road corridor, Cortland was shaped by the same Trumbull County values — hard work, loyalty to local institutions, and a deep appreciation for food that is made by people who mean it. The same culture that fills the stands at Lakeview Bulldogs games is the same culture that has kept a family diner like Raptis going for nearly four decades without a single franchise or a national marketing budget.
Raptis Family Restaurant opened in 1987 just eight miles down Niles-Cortland Road from Cortland. We were built on the same values — honest food, fair prices, a family behind the counter who cares. We have been serving Cortland families long enough that we have gone from feeding parents to feeding their kids. That kind of continuity does not happen by accident.
Cortland and Howland Township have always been part of the same Trumbull County fabric — connected by Route 46, by shared geography, and by communities that value the same things. When Cortland families want a real sit-down breakfast or a burger worth driving for, the answer has been eight miles south on Niles-Cortland Road since 1987.
Cortland & Raptis — Connected by Community
- Same Road, Same Values: Niles-Cortland Road connects Cortland to Howland Township end to end — the same road that runs through downtown Cortland runs right past our front door.

- Mosquito Lake Gateway: Heading out to Mosquito Lake State Park? Raptis is a natural pit stop — fuel up before the lake and again on the way home.
- Greek Heritage in Ohio: Raptis is a Greek family restaurant — authentic gyros, Greek omelets, and Greek salads that reflect the same immigrant work ethic that helped build communities like Cortland.
