“It was a slow day, the music and atmosphere are very welcoming, lively and colorful. The server was great and attentive. The food was delicious. I would have just liked for them to ask me about how I liked my meat cooked, it was to well done for my taste. Other than that it was great. Would highly recommend this place if your looking for some good latin food.”

“Absolutely the best food in the area! Whoever was in the kitchen today nailed it. Best hot basil fried rice ever. The Tom Kha Gai was perfect! And the red curry is a favorite.”

“food is to die for! full of flavor and seasonings. love it best place to go for oxtails”

“Food was fantastic, service was extremely slow. Not sure why, 5 tables that were seated after us ate and left long before us. Avoid the booths , most uncomfortable seats I have ever sat in at a restaurant.”

“If you want authentic boba drinks, this is the place to go! I'm a big boba drinker since 7 years old! Being born and raised in Cali, I had my fair share of boba drinks. Moving to fort drum due to military life and for some odd reason I decided to stay, there were really no good boba drinks. Ju Ju and the boba store in Syracuse mall were my go-tos for quite a while, but O-OH is absolutely the best! They meet my tasting standards I had from the west side! Also they are the most caring and sweetest people! O-OH customer service is always excellent and they really value their customers! They greet everyone with a friendly smile on their face! Even when I come in upset or angry, they always change my mood and I go back to being happy! The store is literally a happy atmosphere!”

“This was a very nice place for dinner. Our waiter was prompt, considerate, and helpful. Dinner was delicious. We will definitely be back when we return to the area.”

“Had a wonderful evening here with the family. The calamari was divine; super crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside with great flavor. The addition of the peppers with the calamari was on point. The burger looked delicious and the beef dip was great as well. The corn beef and cabbage was lacking. The corn beef had great flavor - but over half of my beef was just fat, which was a little disappointing. I also got the butt end of the cabbage and it definitely needed some salt along with the potatoes. The broth was delicious. We got the carrot cake, gingerbread cheesecake, and egg nog cheesecake. They were all very well made and tasted great. My favorites were the egg nog cheesecake and the carrot cake. Overall a really great experience.

Kid-friendliness: The bar is separate from the dining area. There is no kids menu - but there are a couple of items that were kid friendly.”

“Great new books and materials for children!”

“Fun, friendly and slightly insane. we are from out of town and we're treated as old friends. Food was fantastic. BTW, Hannah is the best (She told me to say that).”

“I was a little disappointed with last night's visit (2/3/24), which is truly a first. We arrived shortly after 5:00 pm. When my wife ordered the steak sandwich she was informed that they were out of that, so she changed her order to the Reuben. I then ordered the roast pork. Five minutes later our server returned and informed me that they were out of the roast pork as well. A restaurant shouldn't be out of 2 menu items at 5:15 pm - that's a problem. That said, the food we received was delicious and our server was excellent. I've never had a bad meal or poor service here and probably never will - I will definitely be back and I can still recommend the Crystal without reservation.”

“Great food excellent service”

“Favorite pizza place! We typically go once a week and never have any issues.”

“Food was delicious but they need to send people home when they are sick some guy that was working there was begging to leave cause he didn’t feel good they wouldn’t let him leave until the shift was over. He went to the bathroom multiple times vomiting his brains out. So my first experience at this place I had to hear puking sounds while I was eating it was very disturbing.”

“Took my new friend to lunch yesterday and it was awesome as usual. We both had the cheesesteak sandwich. 😊 can’t wait to go back all the way from Waddington. Remember everyone shop local!!!!”

“Dinner was delicious, and there were so many games and activities for kids and adults to pass the time! Highly recommend.”

“Friendly service, good ice cream and Great ice cream pies”

“I have to say my new favorite place to get a Grilled chicken salad, But I can say from others experiences. The food is always amazing, hot fresh, and ready to go. Two thumbs up 👍”

“John Hoover Inn has the best wings in the north country and their burgers are to die for.”

“Great staff, good company & food is amazing! 10/10 Thank You 🤘”

“This place should be packed everyday! The atmosphere is like a cozy dinner. The staff are so sweet and friendly. The food? Incredible! It tastes like someone's grandma is in the kitchen making the most comforting bowl of noodles you will ever have. We left perfectly clean plates. I can not recommend this enough.”

“The pizza is always usually really good.. however, it’s hit and miss with wings. Ordered the other night 20 wings extra crispy… and they were mush and almost seemed undercooked, grossed me out. 20 wings and we threw out 18 😬”

“We had a delightful experience here! Chiara invited my daughter and I to sample a variety of flavors. We tried the strawberry sorbet, tiramisu gelato, vanilla, and the rich salted caramel-each flavor was absolutely divine! We took home some strawberry sorbet and chocolate chip gelato to enjoy later but I’d recommend any flavor profile that spikes your interest and it will not disappoint! Chiara’s kindness and passion for her craft made our visit truly special. This shop is a gem, and we’ll definitely be back!”

“Food is great. Servers are exceptional. What makes the place a 5-Star review is the family atmosphere. We’ve been a few times and every time the servers and other customers have been wildly friendly to my family and I. Highly recommend.”

“best place in town super nice and very delicious food :) drinks on point”

“Miz Betty and crew were a joy to work with. My dad loved his 70th birthday cake. It wS beautiful AND delicious! We will definitely be visiting Miz Betty again.”

“I am very happy all the other Sunday Breakfest places were busy, because we found Friede's. We ordered the Works omelet, french toast, corned beef hash and a hamburger. The food was fantastic, was out super fast, and we got to watch it cook. The small town atmosphere made it feel like I just sat down in my Grandma's kitchen. Thank you, Chef.”
