“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.“

“Jack was an excellent waiter and a wonderful representative of the Red Lobster team. He was extremely busy but didn’t miss a beat. Not only was he very pleasant and welcoming but a true professional. Despite how busy he was, he never let it show. He treated all customers with excellent service and never rushed any customer from letting him know what they needed. He gets five stars. Barb and Sam Parsons“

“Service was top notch killer thanks“

“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!“

“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!“

“We chose this restaurant to celebrate after our courthouse wedding, and it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt special welcoming, and just the right place to soak in such an important day. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel celebrated without being over the top. Everyone was kind, attentive, and genuinely happy for us, which made the experience even more meaningful. The food was incredible as always. It felt like the perfect way to mark the start of our new chapter together. This will always be a special place for us. We come here for trivia and have built great relationships with the staff. We’re so grateful we chose to celebrate here and will definitely be back for anniversaries to come. Cecelia and Kevin Roskopf“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Made our first visit to this Applebees yesterday. Was very pleased with our experience. Our waiter, Cam, was also the bartender, and did a great job. Even though he was quite busy at the bar, he was very attentive to the booths he was waiting on as well. We had the 2 for $25 meal deal, and everything was excellent.“

“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!“

“This DoubleTree hotel restaurant was a revelation! After a long day of driving, it was the only place open. We ordered a club sandwich and short rib tacos and both were delicious and filling (photo does not do it justice). Staff was attentive and friendly, even at the late hour. Bonus points for having multiple IPAs on tap. If we ever need to stay in the Syracuse area, it will be here, and so will dinner.“

“Best place to have a party in event room. Maria is the best to work with. Responded very quickly to inquire of room for my father’s birthday celebration. Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!“
