“Hands down the best Chinese takeout restaurant in the area. The food is always fresh, HOT, and tasty. I’ve ordered takeout from here five times and each time it was consistent and when they say 15 minutes, it’s ready in 15 minutes. It would be awesome if they expanded one day and did a buffet!”

“The best Italian food one could ask for. Home cooked & family owned. It doesn’t get much better than Primos. Their Joeys pizza & grama C subs i could eat daily. Its so cozy and clean inside, friendly staff.”

“It’s one of the best places to eat around here. The cedarville burger is to die for. The homemade chips are awesome and the peanut butter pie is delicious. Christine has done a really great job with it and she is always so nice! Check them out you won’t be disappointed.”

“Ive heard people say best chicken wings in the valley here at Crossways. Ordered pick up for chicken wings. They did not disappoint. The southwest style was amazing, sauce was perfect mix of creamy and spicy. Similar to an everything sauce you see around here but was much better and for a decent price point too.”

“I just love this little store! The young lady that owns this place is awesome! If you love yummy home cooked food this is your go-to place! She is a straight shooter and the truthful hilarious entertainment that you will encounter will not be forgotten and you might learn a thing or two!! Hahaha...???”

“Lowest gas prices in my area. Good people that work there. Always pleasant and helpful. They have a small convenience store and are centrally located in town. It's a nice place to get that quick loaf of bread or milk along with your gas.”

“This is an Upstate NY classic summer time eatery! They are an outdoor only restaurant with either takeout or outdoor dining, so they are only open in the summer into early fall when the weather is nice. This location does have a pavilion to eat under and a small enclosed area you can eat in, but it does get extremely hot in that room with no a/c. Their burgers and hotdogs are classic, with their buttered and toasted buns. They are a smaller “smashburger” style patty, but the prices are very low and affordable, so it’s not expensive for a smaller burger. Their crinkle fries are absolutely amazing, I’ve never had a fry like it that is as crispy as theirs! The ice cream isn’t my favorite so I normally skip that and just get soda or bring a bottle of water with me. I definitely recommend this place to anyone new to Upstate ny or traveling through in the summertime!”

We came back from Florida for a visit and this is the first place we thought of to put on our to do list.. we are definitely happy that we did.. this is our place to go when we are up. We ate in the restaurant which felt fairly odd since we were the only ones.. but we are coming back”

“OMG...What a HIDDEN GEM!!!This place is very unassuming. I was not expecting much of anything, especially bcuz there was nothing on the menu that jumped out and spoke to me.I ordered the Longhots for an appetizer. During the wait for the food to come to my table, I kept seeing dish after dish coming out to other patrons, and they ALL looked amazing.I took another stab at the menu, and still nothing on those pages stood out... So, I said to myself that if this appetizer is good, then I'm eating here. It was fantastic!!!I then waved the waitress over and asked her for a recommendation. She started going over the general points of the menu, and I had to stop her and say, "I don't want to hear about the menu. What would YOU recommend?"She gave me a thumbs up on the chicken cutlet sandwich that I had told her I had my eye on and then also recommended the chicken parm rigatoni in the vodka sauce. I got both.These two meals were so amazingly delicious that I was absolutely floored.The sandwich: top marks, the cutlet was nicely thin, and so was the breading. It was also still moist, which is difficult for a hammered piece of meat like that. Again, top marks.That rigatoni though...lemme tell you what, that vodka sauce is where it's at!!! I have never had a sauce so good. Truly. I have had plenty of sauces, and plenty of vodka sauces at that. This blew everything out the water! I mean, seriously, this sauce has ruined me. I loved it that much!!I couldn't believe how wonderful the food was after having such low expectations about the unassuming restaurant itself, the menu, none of it spoke of how shockingly good the food absolutely was.”

“Weirdest little spot you will find, its Litterally an abondones teain car that has been converted into a restaurant, and to be cleat im not saying it like its a bad thing, it awesome and cool and deserving to be seen.I recomend the loose caboose burger becasue any burger thay has an egg on it is a friend of mine!”

“Love this place! Had a fantastic first experience and will definitely make PK's a regular stop for a few brewskies, a great meal, or both!We had a party of 5 and were seated right away. EVERYONE was super friendly and attentive to our needs. It was obvious the employees enjoyed their jobs, lots of smiles and great attitudes, made for a really enjoyable atmosphere.Our appetizers were brought out quickly and we were able to enjoy our drinks and munchies while our entrées were prepared. I wish I got more pics because everything looked awesome! All food was brought out hot and all together, just a few minutes after we finished our apps.Now let me just say, greens are an absolute favorite of mine, I order them everywhere, every chance I get. Hands down! PK's NAILS IT with their greens! Dare I say, they're the best I've had. There's no way I can't order them every time I go in now.The food was on point, so delicious, and everyone was very satisfied. Prices are totally reasonable as well. So happy we decided to check PK's out!”

“I was quite impressed with this restaurant. I ordered their lobster riggies "hot" and they were excellent with just the right amount of heat. The service was fantastic and exudes an old world style of dining that is becoming more difficult to find. I will definitely come back.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair ramp.”

“I don't recommend the mac & cheese, nor the hash, however, everything else I tried was excellent, Especially their prices. I am totally happy with this diner. ??”

“A community favorite, family owned. I grew up down the street and have come here countless times. Great place to meet up with loved ones. Recommend their breakfast, and their ice cream window in the summer. Amazing prices.”

“I would absolutely recommend stopping here for a quick lunch! I've not been disappointed by anything I've gotten here and definitely recommend the fried bologna sandwich. The prices are reasonable and the service is usually really quick. I was there during a busy lunch crowd the other day but still managed to find a table and didn't feel cramped or crowded. Their menu is big and there's something for everyone. I haven't been there for breakfast yet, but that's an option as well if you're looking for something earlier!”

“I ordered 20 wings and a large, everything but anchovies (EBA) pizza. The food was incredibly good but I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when they told me it was $65. I learned my lesson. Next time I'll order a small or medium-sized pizza.”

“My husband and I are on an 8 day traverse of the Erie Canal bike trail, when we came upon Mrs. Shake. So glad we stopped! We were made to feel super welcome, and the ice cream was delicious. Highly recommend!”

“Vinny's is our GO TO pizza place when life gets busy and I can't figure out what to cook. I love their Chicken Wing Pizza- best chicken wing pizza this side of the thruway!”
