Restaurants in Central Square

“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.”

“We stopped for lunch before heading back to Georgia. The Lobsta roll was very good as well as the jalapeño cheeseburger. Fries were crispy. The staff was unbelievably kind.”

“We will always recommend any business who puts their customers, employees and community first when they decide who they do or do not hire. Keep being great!”

“we ordered a gyro and I got some grilled chicken thing to go and we ate as we drove down the road, we ended up ordering the same thing again! very good food, very clean place, and nice people!”

“awesome place the bartender who took care of me was super nice and very kind i had a big burger and big portion of fries with 2 beers and still was under 20 dollars i was impressed and the food was great”

“Ordered a couple takeout pizzas and happy to share they’re the best around…hands down, in the Brewerton/Central Square area.
Their dough is fabulous! Will have to try other menu items for sure.”

“Best sandwich I've ever eaten. Everything is delicious. great prices would recommend for sure”

“I got the ribs, mac n cheese, and street corn for take out. Everything was absolutely incredible. The ribs were probably the best ribs I’ve ever had. Jeff was also super nice and recommended exactly what to order. Definitely try the ribs!”

“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!”

“Daniel and Alik are amazing. The best customer service ever! The food was great as always but the above and beyond was more than I could ever ask for. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.”

“I am usually a regular here most of the employees are great, very friendly. But lately the last few times I’ve been here this one girl that works here is obnoxiously rude for no reason. Like she’s bothered to do her job?? She wears glasses and a nose piercing. Other than that this place is great and clean with awesome food!”

“love it there!”

“Contrary to my recent review on the Oswego Taco Bell (which is a terrible place with disgusting food and staff that don't care) this Taco Bell really sets the standard for good food and service. I've gone to both places numerous times and it's really night and day. Staff are extra friendly and the food is FRESH and delicious. They should be using the Central Square Taco Bell as the standard for service at all of them. Special shoutout to Rob H (Geo). He's so friendly and was greeting everyone and checking in on them to ensure their food was good and made conversation. I don't know what position he's in but he's manager material, at least. Im sure if you need someone to fix the Oswego one and set a standard for excellence he's your guy.”

“My Favorite place Just wish we can get there special ahead of time”

“Always clean when Sammy is managing”

“Wow, I was there several weeks ago. Got a normal cup of drip coffee. Today tbe coffee serving shrunk to about a 6 oz cup. Going back to Dunkin”

“By far the best donuts I’ve ever had, super friendly, fast pick up time! The variety an new flavors every week are spot on!! I’ve never loved a donut shop more than here!!”

“Been coming here over well over 30 years there's only ice cream stand so so good. Parfaits our favorite grandkids milkshakes. Mmm. See u today!!!!”

“I always get great service and great product. Only thing I need to know is if the refreshers are suppsoed to look like they have edible glitter powder in them 😂 mine looks like a bottle of that fancy glittery liquor when I swirl it up.”
