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“

“Nathaniel cooked our food (briskett stuffed grilled cheese), it was amazing! Sam is the best server we have had so far at Smokey Bones. She suggested some delicious sauce to go with my sweet potatoes. While waiting for our food, we enjoyed playing pool. We definitely will plan for many more visits to Smokey Bones :)“

“Love this restaurant my favorite in the syracuse area“

“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!“

“Celebrated my daughters bridal shower today at Phoebe’s! I couldn’t have picked a better venue. Everything was perfect from the atmosphere to the food to the staff. Perfect day!! Thank you to all the staff for your help today.“

“This is a fun spot downtown. Food is good and every Monday night is Dead night!“

“We were looking for a relaxing dinner along the water and stumbled upon Barado's. While unassuming from the front, they have a gorgeous patio overlooking the water. Service was prompt and friendly. The menu had a good variety of fare that you'd expect from a water side restaurant. Everything we had was fantastic. The crab cakes were delicious with an amazing sauce. We had some fried shrimp that were perfectly battered (no photo). The Cobb salad was generous with perfectly cooked chicken (so many salads phone it in with overcooked, frozen chicken strips, but this was juicy and GREAT). Chicken tenders and fries were also perfectly fried and crave-able. We saw many other tasty items delivered to other tables, so we'll be sure to return to try them when they are in the area. Such a fun and unexpected treat!“

“Ordered their Friday special for the first time last night after hearing lots of good things about their business. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing! There were plenty of leftovers even after our family of 4 all had dinner. I can’t believe we haven’t tried them sooner.“

“We had a surprise going away party at 916 and it was amazing! Brooke was so helpful planning everything! She answered every question I had and worked with me on every detail. The BBQ Party menu was perfect. So much food and simply delicious! They had the room set up beautifully with a special table for desserts, gifts and a table for our DJ. The staff the day of the party was awesome. Joanne and her crew assisted us throughout the day. I just can’t say enough of how wonderful 916 is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!“

“ordered from here a couple times since they opened and tried a few different things on the menu and always have a pleasant experience! It's nut allergy friendly which you don't always get with vegan cheese. Sometimes wish they were open more than a few days a week?“

“This place is a hidden gem in the center of Syracuse NY. The sauce for the mussels was extraordinary and well thought out! The glaze on the salmon was exquisite. The salmon was cooked ro perfection.

The atmosphere was quiet as it was a Wednesday. But very open and relaxing!

The service was interesting. Isabella was my waitress. A young college student who just finished at a local community college and said she was considering continuing her education in business finance. I see nothing but success in this young girls future! She is professional, and appears to have a solid work ethic as well!

If you are a local, give this place a try. And if you are traveling from out of town and staying in the hotel, you have a really good place to eat right downstairs!

All the best Salt City Eatery and Isabella!!!“

“My family and I had such an amazing experience last night at The Preserve. The service was EXCEPTIONAL, atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious.I am extremely grateful for the last minute accommodations(party of 20).We truly enjoyed our night, thank you for such a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ms.K my granddaughter loved her❤️“

“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.“

“What a find in the Double Tree Hotel in East Syracuse, NY! We stopped for the night in East Syracuse on our way to Boston. We arrived late into the city and were looking for a place for a late-night meal. We lucked out with the find of the Season Tavern inside the Double Tree Hotel.Our first choice was the Salt City Smashed Burger. The burger arrived large with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese on a Brioche Bun/Roll with fries. The burger was great and the presentation was very good.Our second choice was the Street-Style Fish Tacos. This treat arrived with Red Snapper, Napp slaw, Pico De Gallo, Cotija cheese, Chipotle Aioli, lime, and Cilantro. All of this was served on our choice of either flour or corn tortillas. We picked the flour tortillas. We had a choice of either a salad or chips as a side. We went with the salad. Just like the burger the tacos were great and the presentation was very good. We enjoyed our meals with glasses of wine which were appropriately priced.Once again, I wish Google would allow ½ stars. The Season Tavern is a solid 4 ½ stars. This was great bar food at a reasonable price. The service was over the top; thank you, Ms Kim! We don't travel this way much, but if we do, we will make sure we stop and dine at the Season Tavern. Enjoy!“

“Procrastination Food Station is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The menu is diverse, catering to all tastes, and the food? Absolutely divine! Each dish is crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully.

What sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer great recommendations. Whether you're in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the experience is consistently top-notch.

I highly recommend Procrastination Food Station to anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. It's quickly become one of my go-to spots, and I can’t wait to return!“

“It was our first visit and my sister and I were there for a nice pre-theater dinner. We had a great experience! I love the concept of a pre-theater, themed menu. Although the choices were limited, the food was great. I had the best ever Short Rib dinner. Portion could have been a bit larger considering the $28 price. But the meat was tender and flavorful. Our server was wonderful and it was just a fun atmosphere.“

“Always consistent great food and atmosphere. Burgers and other sandwiches are amazing!!“

“Great place for a quick bite to eat! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere, and the food's pretty damn good for the price! The breakfast sandwich was killer, I've also had the chicken cutlet sub which came with chips.. I would have definitely upgraded the 250 for the fries but oh well!“

“Unexpected delight @yorkcny last night 😍

I was immediately charmed by the ambience– black shiny brick, big mirrors, and lots of green plants surrounded attractive seating– and hoped the food would measure up.

The pork chop was well-cooked and flavorful but even more delicious was the egg and fried rice that surrounded it. The presentation was lovely (see little flower!!!)

The bone marrow appetizer was delicious, assuming you enjoy Gorgonzola (I do)

The pasta’s size was shockingly generous, and it was creamy and flavorful. The Calabrian peppers definitely gave it a nice kick.

The Snicker’s cookie topped with ice cream was exactly what I wanted– straight-forward, simple, and nostalgic.

As for the drinks, I wasn’t drinking tonight but my friend ordered the [Not Your Mama’s] Amaretto Sour which featured an overproof rum and was absolutely insanely delicious. Would highly recommend.

Will be returning likely this summer to grab a table in the lovely outdoor section!“

“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.“

“Found this little gem while in Syracuse for a concert. We walked in and it was packed (good sign). It took a little bit to get served but it was slammed. I got the sausage gravy biscuit bowl, delicious! Very friendly staff, the owner was on the grill pumping out orders. We had a great experience and would definitely go back.“

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

“loved the upscale atmosphere! I was there for a surprise birthday party .we had hors d'oeuvres.... delicious!!“

“Great atmosphere with amazing dishes.“
