“Nice people great food Fast service“

“The same Bernie Murray's that I remember from my childhood. ❤️ The burger and fries were delicious. The chicken wings haven't changed since the last time I was there over 10 years ago. Everything was outstanding. The service was great. The restaurant, itself was exactly as I remember. The wings were almost $20! I understand that it's not the fault of the restaurant; it's inflation, in general. The bottom line,l unfortunately, is that it prevents so many from enjoying a hometown favorite as often as they'd like. Also, be aware that they do not accept cards as payment. There is an ATM machine available, though. I definitely recommend stopping by for drinks, snacks, dinner or even a large get together location.“

“Amazing Breakfast, nice wait staff!! Highly recommend sausage Gravy!!“

“Always consistent quality. Their rolls are homemade & The Best.“

“First time there for breakfast and it was delicious. The sourdough toast was the best!!! Seemed adequately staffed and we were well-attended to. Good coffee, which I find many diners don’t have great coffee. We’ll be back!!“

“Fish Fry and Wings are incredible. Staff is always great.“

“Keri is the hands down the best. Very personable and a great bartender. 11 out 10 experience every time.“

“Went for the fish fry. Got the beer battered which was super crispy and delicious. Piping hot too. Great sides as well. Bartender was doing tables and gave us great service. Highly recommended! Get there early if you want fish. Sold out just after we got ours.“

“I got the chicken spiedie and that's probably the best chicken spiedie I've ever had. And they're always so nice and welcoming in there!❤️ I feel like its not just the person takeing your order that greets you everyone greets you and says hello it definitely a good feeling when everone soo welcoming ❤️“

“I’ve been going to Zack’s for quite some time now, the food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. It’s the perfect place to unwind and relax. Ya’ll definitely gotta check this place out!“

“Recommend trying their brunch, from the chicken and waffles to the eggs Benedict you will not be disappointed, even us non-breakfast people have opinions.

The mimosas are must have including the peach flavored. While mimosas isn’t my first choice, they were so good. I will be back for a Blood Mary.

I can’t commend the wait staff and bar service enough. There was a mishap with a tray of drinks and the staff handled it so well. I know first hand how awful such mishaps feel and you never know how the customer will react. You may want to market a new peach mimosas body spray, it does smell amazing. The staff and customers handled this situation with grace.“

“Roundin’ Third is one of our favorite places to go in the entire Twin Tiers! The Marks Family are second to none, and will take care of you with a smile every time! We appreciate our R3 Family! ❤️🤠“

“What I loved most about this Applebee's is how attentive the manager on duty was. Not sure his name, but he made rounds to the tables himself checking on guests. I witnessed him making it right with a patron when a hiccup occured. Great job management!!!! Food was good and server-Jessica was attentive and awesome as well.“

“AWSOME PLACE TO EAT GREAT STAFF GREAT PEOPLE STOP IN AND GET A BEER AND SOME FOOD! PRICES ARE GREAT“

“the best chicken wings since they were $5 a dozen as a kid HANDS DOWN THE BEST WINGS AND HOMEMADE BLEU CHEESE COMBINATION.. MILD EXTRA CRISPY EXTRA SIDE OF BLEU CHEESE ALSO *******************************************“

“It was a Monday night we went for dinner while visiting family in Horseheads. One person ordered the Brisket Quesadillas, tasted good, but when she was peeling open each piece of the quesadillas, most didn't have brisket, over kill of BBQ sauce and cheese. She had minus the jalapenos.
Another person had the Quesadilla Explosion Salad not much chicken in the salad. Seems like this could have been a one time issue since family that lives in Horseheads said it wasn't usually this skimpy with the protein. Wasn't busy in the bar area where we sat, only two other tables with patrons. Our server was pleasant and it was clean in the dining area.“

“Nice environment friendly staff“

“The coffee sticks (which are circles) they are Freaking FABULOUS!! I don't know who is making them but they are the best they have been since the switch im owners. Please continue making these donuts. They are a signature donut from Lights. The cream inside is 👄 chefs kiss! I know many feel the same way. 💯💯💯 10/10 5 Stars“

“Went to Red Lobster for a birthday party. Brandon our server was awesome. Great attitude and service. Food is always good.“

“Great spot to grab some delicious wings and tots. They also have burgers, fries, and more. I love the different sauce and heat options, my favorite is the Asian Zing flavor! I also tried the garlic parm, which I found mild but tasty. I like their tots too, I order ranch and dip wings and tots as I please. The staff in here were super nice, they were so apologetic because they were out of root beer. It was no problem at all but they were extra nice about it. I’ll definitely come here again, this is obviously a great spot to watch a game, they also have a little b-dubs trivia on the screen. It’s a mixed crowd of young kids, and families. A spot for all.“
