“Great place to eat in the late summer and fall . The view of the trees turning colors from the outside dining on the deck is BEAUTIFUL ! The food is okay , service not that good , but it’s worth it for the view alone . You get an amazing view overlooking the trees and the lake below from the deck . We enjoyed a Beautiful day there , and we will go back again in the fall and enjoy the deck on a sunny , warm , Fall Day for lunch and drinks .“

“Best escargot, wonderful drinks and food“

“Love this restaurant my favorite in the syracuse area“

“I have eaten there a lot and everything is very great. Today I got the Buffalo chicken sub, and I was disappointed. It needed more sauce, too much cheese and too little chicken. Worst thing is I told a friend to get it and I got the steak which was awesome.“

“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“

“The food is cooked perfectly and has that old school small breakfast/lunch diner feeling. I am in there almost every day of the work week. Great breakfast sandwiches and the Fish sandwich on Fridays is delicious and big“

“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.“

“Went to this restaurant on our drive up to Canada as we were staying in Syracuse for the night.

I called ahead (on the same day) to make a reservation, which is recommended. They were full by the time we got there. We were seated quickly, but waited a while for service. It seemed like there were only 2 servers that night, and they were both running back and forth from the host position to grabbing drinks to getting the food out.

I ordered the steak frites. It was good, but a bit salty for my tasting. The fries had a heavy coating of Parmesan cheese which made it too salty.

The atmosphere and vibe is nice and romantic. However in the winter it does get cold as it’s an older building and when people enter/exit the restaurant a draft gets let in.

Overall, it was an okay experience. I’d come back in the summer just to see if things are different.“

“Friendly staff. Great food. It’s worth the price. Highly recommended for anyone.“

“Hidden Gem! I'm really not one to ever bother leaving reviews like this, but this place has made a very big impression on me where I can't say enough good about them. My favorite thing on their menu is the Chicken Riggie's and I mean it when I tell you that they are hands down THE BEST chicken or sausage Riggie's I have ever had anywhere. It's a very generous portion for only $12 buck's. I'm a big guy and I can't even finish the portion that they give me in one sitting.. Everything I've tried on their menu is awesome! I've actually considered not even grocery shopping anymore and just eating there on a daily basis. A very close family friend of mine introduced this place to me over the summer and I've been hooked ever since. She goes to this place literally almost every day for lunch and gets the Margarita Panini sandwich. I just highly recommend this place Ive already brought many diff friends of mine and my dad as well to go there and made sure they all tried the chicken Riggie's and they all agree with me that they are incredible! The owner and his wife are very friendly, down to earth, just great people, they've done such a great job with the place and I believe anybody that goes there will agree that its the cat's pajama's!“

“Prices are great and the portions are…… too big! Just ask for a box. You won’t be disappointed the next day. Can’t wait to go back!“

“New menu is awesome! A ton of great options for everyone and very reasonable price point. I love a deal! Staff is always quick and attentive. Brunch is the best on the East Side. Joe, Randy and Laura are crushing it!!“

“What an awesome venue for our annual clambake!!!! Never going anywhere else! Great staff and ownership!!! 10/10“

“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!“

“Very good!! :) It’s a bit loud but it was great !!(: Mom’s meal could’ve been better but mine was great as always!!! Burger could’ve been done a bit more for her she likes her’s well done mine was just right medium well or well done for me I’ll take either of them :). Management was very good and lot’s of staff there!! Parking lot could be little better. Other than those I’m very happy about my meal!!! :) Thank you!! 😊“

“It was such a great time from the food to the service. Only thing I would change is maybe dimming lights a little and increasing the sound at times it was hard to hear them playing. But overall definitely recommend and would do it again. Was worth every penny“

“Excellent food. Full plates. Good service.“

“Love Varsity Pizza! I remember when I was younger going to SU games but swinging by Varsity’s for a slice before the game.“

“Came from Alabama, not really that relevant. Place is cozy, food was amazing, like hit the spot kinda way with huge portions, specially the three-way meat platter, you could feed 2 third world country family with the size of it. Anyway yeah it was great!!“

“I hosted a 70th birthday party for my parents here and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. The venue is outstanding and Melinda is just fantastic to work with. Our guests are still raving about this party and how wonderful both the location and the service that the staff provided. Highly recommend The Ridge!!!“

“The Brickhouse Cafe is my 'office' when I'm traveling. Their sandwiches, salads, and baked goods are always fresh and delicious. Ginny and the staff welcome everyone like an old friend. Treat yourself and visit the Brickhouse Cafe.“

“I won the challenge years ago. Only thing I never did get a shirt. Hope to go back again“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“My dad does not like your coffee, but I like your coffee.“

“Love our local spot! Great food, great drinks and great people ❤️“

“Without question the most underrated diner in the county! I have zero complaints about this place. Great food and great service!“

“I disagree 100 percent that the riggies here taste better than Utica. They simply don’t. The portion size was great, but the chicken was so cut way too small. The sauce just didn’t hit my taste buds the same. The cheese and seasoning on the saucer for bread is just odd. Not bad, just odd. My server never checked in to ask how my food was, but he did have a lot of tables. I probably would return and order something else. Overall, it’s worth checking out. They do seem to get very busy though. Parking can be limited.“

“I went to Chadwicks's for the first time a little while ago and had a wonderful experience. The Kitchen serves delicious food and the owner was kind and generous. Nicki, the bar tender was friendly and kind and made a mean cocktail. All I can say is come for the cocktails and stay for the food. I can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing place and food!!!“

“Thank you to the management team for replying to my review on our last visit. They were sincerely apologetic and invited us back. I will def go back as I love Applebees and perhaps this was an off day for some staff members . This did not make me happy having to write a negative review but the service was not to par that particular day, Thanks again.“

“First time here last night for my birthday. Sat at the bar and was waited on by Bianca? (Dark hair and sparkly top on) She was friendly, professional, efficient and checked on us often. Gnocchi in vodka sauce and meatballs were to die for, and fried ravioli appetizer special was super tasty too! Currently eating my leftovers for dinner and she wrote the sweetest happy birthday note on the box, sent the wonderful experience home with me. 10/10“

“Having have worked there for 10+ years under Egon Heil, I can tell you this place is doing an EXCILET job. it makes me happy to walk in there. The atmosphere is amazing and the owner and his help do such a tremendous job. I am throughoy please with whom has bought Danzers. It needs that love that Egon had, that dedication. You all are doing an EXCILENT job and he would be so very proud!“

“I haven't been able to get here in a while. I don't know who the cook is, she was not here the last time i was here. But today August 21, 2022, i just had one of the best breakfasts i have ev“

“Can’t beat it! Great atmosphere and bartenders. Drinks and food are always on point“

“First time there and recommended by a friend/coworker. Highly recommend the chicken wing sandwich with a spicy kick. Sandy read is for Philadelphia Amoroso's. They also have fried foods there's about five to select from French fries. Pepsi can products in a slide door refrigerator. There a lot of steak sandwiches and options to choose from. Next sandwich I will try is the original with cheese and noticed a BLT sandwich at the bottom of the list. At work a lot people noticed the sandwich and said wow what is that buffalo chicken with sub from Gino's on South Main. Don't miss out and have to try!!

Parking: The parking is in the back of the building.“

“Passing through town on a snowy night, our family needed to grab a meal to bring back to the hotel. We had trouble narrowing down what to order, as there were so many great-looking options. The service was friendly, prices were reasonable, and most importantly, every single thing we ordered was even better than we anticipated. Even our hard-to-please kids loved their meals and even actually asked to try some of ours. We will definitely be back when back in the area to try some of the other items (though it will be hard to pass up the jambalaya mac & cheese, southwestern egg rolls and loaded salts, knowing how good they are)!“

“Best Chicken Wings in town!“
