“I have a long history with this building and it's previous owner, who is respectfully memorialized with a mural (RIP Hack). Used to be called The Pine Lounge. People who used to go to it now own it, so while the name has changed and some required changes have taken place (RIP the old record jukebox!) it spiritually feels like the same friendly place, with a new outdoors and a great local vibe. Not exactly for BU students, but not exactly NOT, either. They don't mind much who comes in as long as you're respectful. Buy a shirt. Make it your local spot if you live nearby, or if you want to escape the chaos of downtown. The pizzeria next door is actually pretty good too. Enjoy.”
“Nice shop, perfect for work! I got their mocha and Java chip frappes when I went. Both were amazing, but I prefer the mocha. . . The staff was also so welcoming 10/10 recommend!”
“Last week we celebrated my daughter’s 40th birthday at Remlicks. It was such a lovely evening. They made her feel special from the minute we arrived. The service, food and atmosphere were perfect. We can’t stop talking about it and are looking forward to going again soon.”
“I've been to many of the local breweries/taphouse and in my opinion Water Street had the best food! You can tell everything is made FRESH and everything we have tried tastes so good! Beers, staff, and atmosphere are always great as well.”
“We always make a point of stopping here when traveling along I-81. Food and service is consistently fantastic, we’ve tried nearly everything on the menu at this point. You can tell a lot of thought went into ingredients and presentation: lettuce is crisp, sauces are homemade, etc… Highly recommend!”

“PS Restaurant is a gem! We hosted a group event for the holidays and were impressed by the quality of service, food and beverages, and atmosphere. Silvana and her team made the event a very pleasurable experience. Every meal I have had at PS has been great; you will not be disappointed!”
“This place is almost always packed! They are well known for their vodka sauce, and I'm a big fan of it, too! They have some Gluten Free options, so I order the GF noodles with vodka sauce. The appetizers sound delicious and mostly healthy, though I haven't tried many due to being GF.”
“Got the veal saltimbocca and a side of fettuccine with bolognese sauce. Best veal saltimbocca I've ever had (gotten it probably a dozen times at various establishments throughout my life). The bolognese was better than Tony's if you can believe that. The waitress was so nice and funny. The chef came out to check on us. Everything is homemade by him. All in all 10 out of 10; a true hidden gem for italian food in this area. We need to go back!”

Every dish I’ve ordered here has been absolutely delicious and the staff make sure you’re very well taken care of. Also, the prices are unbeatable! It almost feels unfair to pay so little for such good food. Naturally, this place is pretty popular, so it can get a little crowded, but the experience is well worth the wait!Parking: The main lot in front of the diner is a little small, but there’s another lot off to the side with tons of spots.Kid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly. The staff are accommodating and make sure you and your child are taken care of.”

Thank you EVERYONE at McGirks!!”

I love that they give you the opportunity to choose several healthy toppings for the oatmeal and the Chia pudding! It was my first time trying this place and I will definitely be back to try one of theiir Aci bowls ?!”
“I came to The Beef with a coworker on a work trip and found it via Google search. It was an excellent choice! The service was fantastic, food was great, and the pricing was surprisingly affordable. It's a perfect spot for business travelers keeping an eye on their budgets.We had the 6oz filet mignon and the baked haddock.The only "con" was a 20 minute wait while we could see open tables. That was a bit confusing, but we had a beer in the bar area while we waited. Not an inconvenience.Parking: Parking is behind the building and is a very small lot. It seems to be shared among surrounding businesses. There is also street parking nearby.”

“Didn't have a problem with college kids maybe too cold? I guess we just popped in after the rush. It was really nice actually. Milkshake was delicious food was good. I'd stop back in for some foot and a drink. The cider and beer selection was really good as well. No flights but they let us try something so I wasn't really bummed.Parking: We paid for parking on the street but it's really limited and it was .50 for 30 mins. Pay by tag.”
“I've been a customer of Little Venice for many years and have always enjoyed the wonderful food and service as well as, the ambiance. However, after my most recent visit I found that the homade macaroni to be alittle overcooked and my saled to have too much Italian dressing on it. Otherwise, my meal was very good and I look forward to returning soon!”

Nothing needed any sauce added, it was so well made and such good flavors. They don't allow people in. So you have to order by phone. Then they bring it to your car. Excellent.”

The Shop
“Honestly haven’t been to a place in downtown this good in a while.. it’s definitely a place with good food. The price are decent for what it is alittle high but for how well the food was id pay it again!!! The staff where all very nice also wasn’t very busy since it was down pouring.. fast service it only took 10-15 mins for our food to come out we where in and out in within 45 mins the only complaint is that the high stools are kinda uncomfortable ?”
Takeout Restaurants
“Lovely bustling diner. Cash only though, but that’s to be expected at local spots. Since there’s a convenient indoor ATM, it’s not a problem for me.Breakfast is always on point. Inexpensive and delicious. I got chocolate chip pancakes, home fries, eggs AND bacon for 14$Outstanding value, friendly staff and a cool old school dining area.Gets very busy during prime time, but that’s also to be expected with a place like this.5 stars!”
“We made it in time to place the last order of the season. The staff, especially the owner, were super friendly. The service quick. The treats delicious. We look forward to returning again.”
“Got the veal saltimbocca and a side of fettuccine with bolognese sauce. Best veal saltimbocca I've ever had (gotten it probably a dozen times at various establishments throughout my life).

“I decided to eat here for lunch today. It is a family owned business and the inside is not too large but not too small. The food was amazing. Shrimp fried rice was delicious. The Chicken Pad Thai noodles were really good too. Basically everything tasted really good.”
“Alexander's Cafe shines with an out of this world Panini!We visited Alexander's Cafe for lunch on the weekend between noon and 2pm, the establishment was slightly busy.This was my first venture to Alexander's and while I was initially skeptical, I left overly impressed. Staff were friendly and quick to assist with taking our order. There are plenty of selections here, ranging from salads to wraps and paninis. Between us we ordered a "scorcher" panini, a "chicken teriyaki" wrap, a side of loaded potato salad and a mango smoothie.We opted to eat in the dining room and received our food very shortly after we ordered (within 5 minutes). The teriyaki wrap had great flavor and the mango smoothie was incredibly tasty. I was expecting the scorcher panini to be quite hot, but it had what I would consider to be a pleasant amount of heat. Very manageable and I believe anyone that has even a slight tolerance to spicy food would enjoy it! The panini bread itself was probably the highlight of the trip, it was absolutely delicious! I think I could have had a lunch of just the panini bread and a soup and been totally satisfied. Absolutely fantastic.Keeping in mind we did opt for a side, a can of soda, and a smoothie with our lunch items, our meal for two cost us a little over $35. This isn't... "Crazy" per se, but i wouldn't consider it cheap either. The size of the wrap and the panini would honestly be enough to fill you up on their own so if you are looking to save a few bucks, keep that in mind.Overall our trip to Alexander's was very positive. We will certainly add this establishment to our regular stops.”
“Held my Uncle Dan's Celebration of Life in the Enclosed Pavillion. Catered the food was good. There's outdoor seating that nice.Parking: Most parking is on-street”
“Me and my wife ordered the Jerk Chicken w/ Rasta Pasta and the Goat Curry w/ Yellow Rice. They were both impeccable! The chicken was perfectly tender with the best flavor. The goat had the perfect balance of gamey and curry, and was also unbelievably tender. Can't wait to try the Ox Tail Rasta Pasta next!”
“My only regret is that I did not take a photo to share with you all of our great lunch. Ordered the Kingfish and chicken curry. The Kingfish was full of flavor with such a nice citrus undertone. Portions were big and a fresh and high-quality clay a delightful surprise.”
“We just recently held my daughter’s baby shower in the Blarney Room at McGirks and couldn’t have picked a better venue! The event planner Megan, couldn’t have been more helpful and was always available. Everything was perfect from the table settings and food to the staff. We felt comfortable and welcomed.

“Colin has done an amazing job giving that building a much needed face lift! It's seriously night and day from the old place. Super affordable and as great variety of food and drinks!Highly recommend!”
“Always delicious food! I stop here whenever I go to Binghamton. My only critique is to open the pop top beer when someone orders it. I sat down and realized it was a pop top and had to go back up to ask for someone to open it. No big deal, just a suggestion to enhance the experience. The food is incredible and I bring the marinade home with me so I can make then between trips!”
“New York Pizzeria has been a tradition for my family since I was a kid.. playing Street Fighter in the back on the old game system while my slices are heating up. The taste and service hasn't changed and is always excellent.”
“This is a great place for a quick bite. Nice dinner specials too. Super outdoor patio area with fire pit. I could see gathering with friends/family for a nice beverage.02/10/2024 - Hasn't changed. Still good!”

Brought my 1 year old grand daughter, and everyone was so helpful and friendly. Very nice. I would recommend it's family oriented and exceptional ? !!Parking: On the side and in the rear of the lot. Try to carpool because parking can be difficult”

“aurora.... what a treat on a tuesday night. she was right about the wings.. enough to go out of the way for! they have ginger beer so i am happy. what a great bartender this place has in aurora, god bless her. good food and good drinks.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Ordered via doordash. Hot wings, french fries, and coleslaw. It all was delicious. The coleslaw had a weird texture but the taste was just the crisp and sweetness that I like.”
“On good authority (kids), BK chicken nuggets are better than McD. Service wise, adults say BK service is better than McD. They gave me no hassle or attitude for customizing a sandwich, unlike the sniveling help at the Johnson city McDonalds.”
“Live right around the corner, have gone here multiple times since I've been here and can say I've never once had an issue. People there are pretty great customer service wise and food is always on point for what I order. No issues at all.”
“Ashton is awesome! Every time I’ve been to Moes and he’s serving he’s always super social and goes above and beyond. He really stands out from the other servers. You’re the best!”
“This stores workers go above and beyond,I personally seen them helping out a homeless man, It takes guts, because the world is very judgemental.Dietary restrictions: Not sure about about this topic”
“We love Arby's... Ridiculous price for cheese for the curly fries. What little container you receive they charged me $2.79 for 2 last visit was .50¢ , and the mac n cheese bites @ 2 for $7 you only get 4 bites . Dont do arbys often, now i remember why ? plus almost $5 for an order of curly fries - not a happy customer.”
“During a rather trying time,they the current morning and close shift were incredibly on point, and treated me fairly. It is appreciated more than anyone will ever know.Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are not wide enough to fit an XL chair, but perfect for a stroller for an adult severe cp patient.”
“They no longer have the Fiesta Veggie Burrito on the menu. So they took their Bean and Rice Burrito and added guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, cheese, fiesta strips. It was almost the same and delicious!Vegetarian options: Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito with veggie add-ons”
“People are nice. Food/drinks are good.Parking: There are a few spaces. But the line for the drive through was long and it went out to the street causing confusion and chaos for drivers.Wheelchair accessibility: There are nor stairs”
“Loved it. The service was great and it was very clean and the food was fresh and hot. The Frosties were cold and delicious and the spicy crispy chicken sandwich that I had was really good.”
“I always enjoy Wendy's as their burgers are quite tasty. Just wish that this time I didn't leave my phone in the truck, so I could have taken a picture of my double with cheese. This was clearly the best looking burger I ever got from a fast good restaurant. It could have been used in a commercial for Wendy's. Whoever made this one takes pride in their work.”
“Always great service and friendly employees. Very patient with my order even though I order extra pickles for myself, no pickles or onions for my significant other and a plain burger for my dog!”
“This dunkin is by far the best dunkin in the 607 always kind and welcoming service I go here every day and they always get my order right even in a rush I see the workers getting things done as fast as possible juggling orders from front counter, Drive-thru and online orders, from the app or even grubhub/Door dash they do an excellent job managing it all.”
“I went yesterday before my son's appointment and it was decently busy but I still got my order quick and correct. They were very friendly as well. Thank you!”
“It was noon and me and my wife stopped in to try since we haven't had a chance yet. Wasnt too busy indoors but the drive thru had the workers on overdrive. Still nice woman at the counter took our order, made a small error (no pickles). Not a huge deal wife ended up actually liking the sandwich with them. We got our food in probably 15 mins max? And she apologized twice saying they were waiting on fresh chicken to be done. Wont hear me complain about the food being too fresh. They probably could have spent more time cleaning the bathrooms. Also the soda machine was broken but had no sign so we ended up with a cherry flavored dr pepper with too much syrup. New guy probably did it by accident.. Things happen and I'm sure we could have got a fine drink replacement but again not that big of a deal. We don't drink much soda so I had my big bottle of water I always have. Honestly for 4.99 blows the mccrispy out the window. Mashed potatoes are garlic which was a nice surprise better than kfc. Good place for 1 or 2 but prob not that feasible for a family with the bulk prices but honestly at that point you are shutting the whole place down to get all that good hot and fresh food for a family meal. Was surprised to see its in the old burger king which was not a good place to eat at all especially after nightfall. Overall, we were satisfied and they were training a new employee at the same time too. While also making sure food snatchers completed their order instead of just taking whatever is there.. Lots of things going on at once. Only one guy on the fryer but he didnt seem to mind and was getting food out left and right. We'll def be back. Thank you to all the workers!Dietary restrictions: They had a big sign about dietary restrictions. Being not allergic to anything I didnt read it but I assume it's dairy and perhaps peanuts.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are very heavy but there is a ramp for wheelchairs.”
“The best lentel soup i ever had! Today feb 10 Saturday….Also the garlic ball! The broccoli tempura! The chicken pocket! The cheesy chicken! And the cheese cake! Alll were awesome and well see you again SOONNN! Awesome quality! Clean! Thank you for having real food in broome county!”

“The best kept secret on this east side of Binghamton. Love the service. Food is A+ every time. Madison is great. We come on Tuesdays and she’s always there. I need to say though…. I come here for the chicken tenders just as much as I come here for the ranch dressing. I got my tenders tonight and after the first bite I said “did you guys get new ranch?!” It tastes like the little packages of ranch at McDonald’s. terrible. please bring back the old ranch. Please. Please.”
Cheap Eats
“We love the shakes from PLN! Every Friday we walk here from work for the shakes which have the perfect blend of macros for whatever your body needs. I love that I can add extra ingredients to a shake like spinach to boost the nutrition levels too. Greg is personable and sends so much positive energy to us.PLN is plant based friendly too which makes me feel confident in the food that I get from here. I know it will support my body and my diet.”
“This place was awesome! By the far the best Acai bowls in Binghamton! Amazing staff, fresh fruit, 10/10 overall experience. So happy to finally have a great, affordable place to eat healthy downtown!”
“Really enjoyed our lunch stop on our road trip. Authentic little diner with lots of character. Can't recommend the Reuben enough!Parking: If there's no parking, you can find plenty of street parking next door.”
“Cheap beer, classic bar, Nice bartenders. They have pool, and other stuff to do there. They are cash only... so that kind of sucks, but I go out with cash anyways to advoid overspending so it works out. It's got a big parking lot, outdoor area, and is fairly clean. Older place, older people, but when you are sick of college kids, its a great place to go.”
“I moved from NY in 2001 leaving behind my favorite ice cream place and flavor! Every year I come back to visit I come by for my bubblegum ice cream and berry twist cone! The absolute best ice cream shop and best service! Never fails me! So many choices and so many flavors!! This place is a must stop!!!”
“The service from the waiters is astronomical, they are so positive and get their job done rather fast, always refills and asking how everything is. the food here is also immaculate, all of the choices you can pick from, sides, to extra spices and foods on top of your foods. i recommend coming here 100%!”
“It's a nice friendly place to chill and hang out without having to spend a lot of money. Also, a good place to play pool and shoot darts. They have good food at cheap ”
“Chicken Souvlaki is past 5 stars, there’s really not anything you can get here that isn’t authentic & fantastic. John & Bruno were extremely personable, genuine & made guests feel welcome, checking in often.A local staple. ??”
“Outstanding Coffee amazing food the workers are Amazing they treat you like family I will recommend this place to anyone I will be looking to go back again 100% ”
“This is a "Cheers" type of bar where you walk in after a couple visits and the people greet you with a smile and say hello! The food is delicious, the waitstaff is friendly, it is not too noisy to talk during lunch.”
“Decided to try this place out on a friend's recommendation and it didn't disappoint. I had the Ruben which was the special that day and it was the best Ruben I have ever had. Plenty of meat and dressing. It came with a great macaroni salad all at a very nice price. You have to come early because it sells out quick”
“Went there for lunch with local friends. (We are visiting from Europe.). Good quality diner, very good, friendly service, free parking. It was the best hamburger I had in my whole American adventure.”
“First off, let me just say I've never met an owner so involved and inviting. From the second we walked in to the minute we left , she made us feel like we were regulars. The food was excellent. But the atmosphere and homey feel was what will keep us coming back every road trip upstate. 5 star food and service . We'll be back”
“I have been visiting at lunchtime and occasionally for take out for over a decade. Pat (the owner) and her family are very fun, kind, and friendly. If you're reading this, stop now and plan your trip to Thai Thai immediately!!”
“Great atmosphere I love the sports mural. Literally flew from Texas to try this place and best dessert calzones I’ve ever had!!!!!!!!Vegetarian options: Try the hipster ? although there is plenty to choose from!”
“Gentleman who helped us was super nice and efficient. We ordered two 12" subs and it only cost $19 with chips. He cleaned all surfaces prior to use and sanitized hands after exchanging cash. The meat is sliced in front of you, so while it may be time consuming, you know it's fresh. Would definitely go to again!!”

Pho Nomenal
“This place is 10/10 the best place to go and eat the food tasted phenomenal! If you’re looking for a place to eat you should pick phenomenal!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options: very much to pick, if you cant decide i would highly recommend the vegetarian spring rolls”
“Small building, with five tables seating four each. Long bar seating at least twenty comfortably. The food was great. We had chicken tenders & and fries, though the fries were a bit over salted. Friendly atmosphere. We had a great time with friends. It's a old bar, with a homey atmosphere of being well lived in!”
“I went to this store for the 1st time recently. The squash soup was very good and I was able to get 2 meals out of the smallest size takeout container. I also tried the potato salad. It tasted OK but unfortunately contained some black olives, which I am not a fan of. The people working there were very pleasant and waited on me quickly.”

Grande Pizza
“One of our favorite places to go on any day! Whether it's a couple pieces for lunch, a family dinner, a party for the office, or just a couple pizzas to go, like we got today, it's always amazing ? Congrats on 50 years of Grande, here's to 50 more ❤️”

“Service was goodAtmosphere was goodBut the chicken noodle soup had me sick for 3 days, maybe it was just me but I'm gonna rate it 1 star for now until I eat from there again !Parking: Spacious”

River Bistro
“I enjoyed sitting at the bar for an early dinner last night. The IPA beer I had (green alligator draft handle) was quite nice. The food was okay and not anything to rave about … I ordered the Brussel Sprouts Appetizer and the Bartender was kind and took it away and off my bill. The Brussel Sprouts were grossly overcooked to the point of mushiness. The main course I ordered was a Bistro Bowl, Pineapple Fajita which didn’t have any pineapple in any quantity. The grilled flank steak was overcooked but still flavorful … over all this dish was tasty even with the shortfalls. I would eat there again and be very specific with whoever is taking the order on how I want my food prepared. I took a slice of their chocolate cake home and it was the best. Give the River Bistro a try … you will enjoy the atmosphere and the food is above average which is terrific. LIVE LOVE LAUGH ALWAYS … ????”

“By far the best customer service that I've had in a fast food restaurant in years. Friendly, efficient, courteous, and hilarious. I will be in back just to continue dealing with the staff.”
“Absolutely best pizza in Binghamton no question, no competition, no debate, no controversy, no hot take, no DISRESPECT. Best pizza. Enough said. Ambiance--- old school new yawk. Service 10/10 truly this place brings me ”
“UPDATE: shortly after leaving, the owner called me to get my side of the story and to go over what happened. I was extremely impressed and he even gave me a $25 gift card. Now that’s customer service. THANK YOU!I’m a regular customer, until now. Ordered a sheet, was told 20mins. I get there 30mins later. THEY NEVER MADE THE PIZZA. So here I wait another 30+ mins. No compensation, just an attitude. I even told the gentleman the attitude was not necessary. But they have time to be on their phones in the back room. What put me over the edge is when I took the pizza and walking out. The young man told the customer behind me “you can’t please them all!” I came back and started yelling at the young man “that the service was horrible and I will be taking this matter further””
“Great pizza! I ordered a large cheese and garlic white. It was hot out of the oven and ready in 20 minutes for pick up. If you like New York think crust style this place is the best.”
“One of our favorite places to go on any day! Whether it's a couple pieces for lunch, a family dinner, a party for the office, or just a couple pizzas to go, like we got today, it's always amazing ? Congrats on 50 years of Grande, here's to 50 more ❤️”
“Great food and service. Much better than a few other local establishments. The ordering via phone was an easy process. The interior was bland for dining in, but got my meal to go. When I got home, food was still hot and tasty, even though it was in the car for a small duration. I will return for more Gen TsoParking: Parking at Weis Market”
“This diner is classic in every sense of the word. The food, the atmosphere, and the people are all top notch. Every dish I’ve ordered here has been absolutely delicious and the staff make sure you’re very well taken care of. Also, the prices are unbeatable! It almost feels unfair to pay so little for such good food. Naturally, this place is pretty popular, so it can get a little crowded, but the experience is well worth the wait!Parking: The main lot in front of the diner is a little small, but there’s another lot off to the side with tons of spots.Kid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly. The staff are accommodating and make sure you and your child are taken care of.”
“I came to The Beef with a coworker on a work trip and found it via Google search. It was an excellent choice! The service was fantastic, food was great, and the pricing was surprisingly affordable. It's a perfect spot for business travelers keeping an eye on their budgets.We had the 6oz filet mignon and the baked haddock.The only "con" was a 20 minute wait while we could see open tables. That was a bit confusing, but we had a beer in the bar area while we waited. Not an inconvenience.Parking: Parking is behind the building and is a very small lot. It seems to be shared among surrounding businesses. There is also street parking nearby.”
“Held my Uncle Dan's Celebration of Life in the Enclosed Pavillion. Catered the food was good. There's outdoor seating that nice.Parking: Most parking is on-street”

“All I have to say is Yum, if ur looking for something like Dunkin’ but better come here 2 small hot coco 1 donuts and 1 warp and a sandwich was all $18!!! What steal in this day and age ??? the only thing I feel is that they can improve on is service. I didn’t feel very welcomed, but it was very good besides that. has always been a favorite ? also this place is not busy at all and the service is always fast. Also, the hot drinks have always been my favorite because they’re so sweet and delicious not watery.☕️☕️”

“I've been a customer of Little Venice for many years and have always enjoyed the wonderful food and service as well as, the ambiance. However, after my most recent visit I found that the homade macaroni to be alittle overcooked and my saled to have too much Italian dressing on it. Otherwise, my meal was very good and I look forward to returning soon!”
“Food was good tasting with good portion sizes. Drinks were reasonably priced and some were quite creative. Server was very polite and attentive. There were 10 of us and we sat outside. Obnoxiously loud ?music? from automobiles and winding up motorcycles ruined the outside ambiance.”
“Food is incredible tasting. If you get anything aside from the slices out front, expect to wait upwards of 20 minutes (for warm sandwiches primarily). But tastes great, lot of room, great hours. Expensive by the slice but sandwiches reasonably ”
“We hd breakfast and it was great. We always enjoy breakfast at Cracker Barrel, its the best place for breakfast as far as we are concerned. Theres a lot to pick from off the menu.”
“It was noon and me and my wife stopped in to try since we haven't had a chance yet. Wasnt too busy indoors but the drive thru had the workers on overdrive. Still nice woman at the counter took our order, made a small error (no pickles). Not a huge deal wife ended up actually liking the sandwich with them. We got our food in probably 15 mins max? And she apologized twice saying they were waiting on fresh chicken to be done. Wont hear me complain about the food being too fresh. They probably could have spent more time cleaning the bathrooms. Also the soda machine was broken but had no sign so we ended up with a cherry flavored dr pepper with too much syrup. New guy probably did it by accident.. Things happen and I'm sure we could have got a fine drink replacement but again not that big of a deal. We don't drink much soda so I had my big bottle of water I always have. Honestly for 4.99 blows the mccrispy out the window. Mashed potatoes are garlic which was a nice surprise better than kfc. Good place for 1 or 2 but prob not that feasible for a family with the bulk prices but honestly at that point you are shutting the whole place down to get all that good hot and fresh food for a family meal. Was surprised to see its in the old burger king which was not a good place to eat at all especially after nightfall. Overall, we were satisfied and they were training a new employee at the same time too. While also making sure food snatchers completed their order instead of just taking whatever is there.. Lots of things going on at once. Only one guy on the fryer but he didnt seem to mind and was getting food out left and right. We'll def be back. Thank you to all the workers!Dietary restrictions: They had a big sign about dietary restrictions. Being not allergic to anything I didnt read it but I assume it's dairy and perhaps peanuts.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors are very heavy but there is a ramp for wheelchairs.”
“Met some friends for drinks. Have not been here in years. It was not crowded and had many security personnel on sight. The bars were all open and staffed well. Not much time waiting for drinks.”
“Am in town for a few days and made Di Rienzos my lunch choice on Thursday and Friday. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich on Thursday and it was great. Came back today for the fish sandwich and it was the best I ever had. All the staff was friendly and talkative, especially the owner, Tony. He talked to me both days and made me feel really welcome and appreciated. I also left with bread, cookies, and a huge slice of cold pizza which was awesome as well. Hope to be back soon.”
“This place is no joke. I went there at 8pm for a quick snack and ordered a Big Mac. It was the best one I had since I was a child. I would really love to thank the cook who ever made my burger. It doesn't lack in anything. Well done McDonald's.”
“The waitress that I had last night. And this morning I had the same waitress. I appreciate it her pleasant and courteous service. She was very attentive. And served one of the most pleasant smiles I have had in a long time. Wish you the best, Elizabeth.”
“Always delicious food! I stop here whenever I go to Binghamton. My only critique is to open the pop top beer when someone orders it. I sat down and realized it was a pop top and had to go back up to ask for someone to open it. No big deal, just a suggestion to enhance the experience. The food is incredible and I bring the marinade home with me so I can make then between trips!”
“This diner is classic in every sense of the word. The food, the atmosphere, and the people are all top notch. Every dish I’ve ordered here has been absolutely delicious and the staff make sure you’re very well taken care of. Also, the prices are unbeatable! It almost feels unfair to pay so little for such good food. Naturally, this place is pretty popular, so it can get a little crowded, but the experience is well worth the wait!Parking: The main lot in front of the diner is a little small, but there’s another lot off to the side with tons of spots.Kid-friendliness: This place is very kid friendly. The staff are accommodating and make sure you and your child are taken care of.”
“New York Pizzeria has been a tradition for my family since I was a kid.. playing Street Fighter in the back on the old game system while my slices are heating up. The taste and service hasn't changed and is always excellent.”
“Overall a good experience I did see a couple review saying it is bland, and I can agree that they do need more seasoning on certain things! I would come here again nice place clean and friendly staff… my chicken sandwich was huge for the price but I think they need more seasoning in the breading.. ? the Fry’s were great very crispy, and everything is very fresh.. we will be telling friends and family about this place”
“my chicken was flavorful but my mash potatoes were cold and so was the other one they brought out my wife's dinner was cold and her steak was cold and not cooked right also her cocktail wasn't very good ”
“Nice atmosphere, very clean, fresh food with plenty of healthy options, excellent service.Dietary restrictions: Food allergy options are clearly listed and I was able to modify an option to accommodate an allergy. There are plenty of options for gluten-free, vegetarians, and vegans.”
“Owner explained how he cooks with flavor and not making the dishes too hot with spices. My husband and I had the same dish and made it a Happy Dish. Loved it! Had the dessert too which we shared. Nice little eatery that is intimate. Will be back.”
