“I don’t usually write reviews for restaurants, but the White Moose Diner in Constantia truly deserves one. I often see their Friday specials posted in local Facebook groups, and they always sound great. Tonight’s feature was the B.O.B. (Big Ole Burrito) — a giant tortilla filled with brisket, pulled pork, and seasoned rice with chipotle sauce, topped with creamy mac and cheese sauce, and served with a side of hand-cut fries. We decided to give it a try, and it did not disappoint! The portion was generous, the food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly. The diner itself is small — more of a hidden gem, “hole-in-the-wall” kind of place — but it was spotless and welcoming. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the B.O.B. to return and are looking forward to trying more of their specials.“

“Thank you Flo’s for not only feeding my Grandfather for 45+ years but also putting on a beautiful Celebration of Life for him. Getting to enjoy the same food he loved so much was such a special send off. We ate here multiple times and understand why he always came back. It was all so delicious! You went above and beyond for him and we will forever be so thankful to you. The Leo O’Donnell family“

“We had read many good reviews about this place and decided to check it out. We we not disappointed. Our host/ bartender and server Tara was fantastic. Friendly and attentive and answered all questions asked about the place.
We both ordered the Fried Seafood Platter. It came with a huge piece of haddock, shrimp and scallops with enough fries to feed three people. All cooked perfectly. I live 5 minutes away and am so glad I went. Will definitely be returning to try other dishes there. Do not pass this place up! A hidden gem!“

“The food is outstanding!“

“Our first visit tonight, we were greeted by the most kindest women. She was so knowledgeable and told us all her specials and recommendations. We had the best soup and meal. Very tasty. We then went to the bar and met John, we were able to sit on the deck with a perfect view and our greeter(John’s wife)came out and talked to us several times made us feel right at home. Very comfortable setting amazing view and food. If you have not stopped at this amazing gem you need to.“

“Bought a carving today it was really nice work at a reasonable price. So many things in the store!!! Will have to come back. The woman was very nice“

“I've been passing the place for years but decided to stop in a few times recently. They have a half a dozen soft-tip dart boards and multiple hard tip boards. That was exactly what I was looking for. The beer is cold. The bartenders are easy on the eyes. The hot chicken sandwich is really good.“

“Our residents love Pointe Place!“
