“We had lunch here today and everything was amazing! Our Dad asked about Sloppy Joes and the server pointed out that they didn’t have them on the menu but suggested the brisket grilled cheese. Before our food arrived the serve came out with a specially made sloppy Joe for our Dad. He ate the whole thing and said it was delicious! I had the brisket grilled cheese and that was very yummy! For the chef to make a custom dish was so unexpected and very much appreciated. It was nice to see Dad happy and have a full belly!!!! We will be back for sure!“

“I got married on 9/13/2025 at 916 Riverside and it was one of the best wedding related decisions my husband and I made. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site and it was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The ceremony was held outdoors on their patio, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how visually stunning it was. We primarily communicated with Jake, the owner, and Brooke, one of the head staff. They were both incredibly helpful and responded immediately whenever we reached out. Anytime I suggested something or asked if it was possible to do X, Y, or Z - Jake accepted with open arms and supported all of our ideas to make our big day personable and meaningful. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but doing so via Jake and Brooke made it as painless as possible, and that is something I am very grateful for. Staff paid attention to small details and ensured that everything got done in the way we envisioned and requested. At the end of our reception, Jake’s staff cleaned up quickly and packed all decorations and center pieces onto two designated tables, which made it that much easier for my husband and I to pick up and pack up everything the day after. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and there’s truly nothing I can critique. 916 Riverside will always be special to us, and I would recommend them in a heartbeat for any couples who are hunting for a venue. Thank you Jake, Brooke, and all staff at 916 Riverside!“

“The Brickhouse Cafe is my 'office' when I'm traveling. Their sandwiches, salads, and baked goods are always fresh and delicious. Ginny and the staff welcome everyone like an old friend. Treat yourself and visit the Brickhouse Cafe.“

“Got fried green tomatoes, pulled pork sandwich, and the turkey sandwich. Big portion sizes for a reasonable price and excellent quality. I always love a roadside BBQ joint; they make me feel like a character in a buddy cop movie. The only complaint I had was that I saw approximately zero lizards, limp or otherwise, and I was kinda hoping there'd be at least one.“

“We stopped in at this charming little mom-and-pop diner and were instantly greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear this place is a staple in the community, locals were chatting at the counter, and we, just passing through, felt right at home. We ordered the omelettes, which were absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Even our 5 month old was in awe of how fresh and colorful the veggies were! One of the highlights was watching the owner hard at work on the cook line behind the counter. There's something special about seeing someone so dedicated and hands-on with their business. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Despite a steady stream of customers, everything moved smoothly without feeling rushed. The diner itself is clean, cozy, and has that timeless, traditional charm you hope for in a place like this. Whether you're a local or just passing through town, this diner is worth the stop. Family friendly, great food, great people with great conversations, we highly recommend!“

“We have been here a few times, excellent service, very friendly staff, food was delicious, portions were great. Highly recommend this diner to all looking for a nice hometown meal.“

“Always great food and drinks!! One of must go to places when I am back in NY.“

“The service was spot on! Our server was great! As expected, the food was served hot & delish. I ordered their spicy chicken sandwich with fries & a side of ranch. The portion was huge! I was meeting a relative I'd not seen in a few years so we stayed way past normal (about 3 hours) but the staff & server kept filling our refreshments the whole time (we'd already paid & tipped much earlier) so we left an additional tip & tild the server how much we appreciated her kindness!“

“Wow! The Chicken Riggies were incredible- I did order standard and they had the perfect kick. Had plenty of chicken and slivers of cherry peppers- loved this. Thank you for a delicious dinner that was also my lunch. Thank you, chef. I’ll be back and will order these again next time. Recommended, great service at the bar- the Genny Citrus Pils was also perfection.“

“My dad does not like your coffee, but I like your coffee.“

“Steve and I out for Breakfast, trying someplace new to us. Stumbled on Kim's Family Diner. Started out being Welcomed with Amazingly Friendly Customer Service Steve ordered the Philly Steak Omelet and they made me a Pepperoni, Bacon, Sausage & Broccoli with Swiss and Cheddar Chesse Omelet both were Amazing. Loved how ingredients were mixed into the eggs. Kim is so friendly and attentive as were all her employees, waitresses and buspeople. They were always cleaning up as soon as the customers left the table and the customers were friendly approached as soon as they walked into the restaurant. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was Great Definitely will be back“

“Karaoke with The Vin Man! Every Wed 6-10pm“

“First time there and recommended by a friend/coworker. Highly recommend the chicken wing sandwich with a spicy kick. Sandy read is for Philadelphia Amoroso's. They also have fried foods there's about five to select from French fries. Pepsi can products in a slide door refrigerator. There a lot of steak sandwiches and options to choose from. Next sandwich I will try is the original with cheese and noticed a BLT sandwich at the bottom of the list. At work a lot people noticed the sandwich and said wow what is that buffalo chicken with sub from Gino's on South Main. Don't miss out and have to try!!

Parking: The parking is in the back of the building.“

“Thank you to the East Syracuse location for accommodating our large group earlier this month!

“We have always had amazing service at the Clay location. Tonight, Ethan was awesome. Very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed to have a perfect meal and experience with our kiddos. He even asked if we wanted the kids meals to come out early which was great! Not everyone thinks to ask that, so super appreciated! Thank you to the Clay location for continuing to hire hardworking individuals, it’s really hard to find service like we’ve had there, elsewhere. Keep up the great work!“

“We had a wonderful night here for my Niece's birthday. We were seated almost immediately for 10 people. Kat and MacKenzie were our waitresses, and they made our experience here a great time.

“We were seated on the bar side which is slightly noisier than being in the dining room. I ordered baked ziti and it didn't disappoint! We have moved out of town but Tully's is always on our list of places to come when we are back in town.“

“We came in for the Sunday special and were lucky to have Sarah as our server. She was amazing. I have celiacs and she knew just what I could have and made sure my order was perfection. From the soup French Onion to my Turkey dinner! The food was amazing. I could not have the Sauerbraten but that is what my partner ordered. He thought the was amazing and was able to bring home a wonderful piece of raspberry pie. (which I could not eat.). But Sarah checked over all of the dessert options to try and find one for me. The food was amazing. Our service was stellar. And we told Sarah we would be back to see her again. Thank you so much for a lovely meal!“

“I have enjoyed several meals. I ordered from grubhub and they have never disappointed. It's one of the best since moving to Central Square. Thank you for going and above and with every order. You never let me down“
