50 Best American Restaurants near Jamesville

“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.“

“Love this restaurant my favorite in the syracuse area“

“Best place in Syracuse!! Food is incredible!! One of plates! So so so good“

“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.“

“such a cool place, will definitely make it back“

“Best burgers and friendly staff!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant the staff and the food i ordered chicken and biscuits and chicken tenders and fries, my wife was disappointed that there were mashed potatoes in the chicken and biscuits she wasn’t expecting that otherwise everything was spot on“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“This is a fun spot downtown. Food is good and every Monday night is Dead night!“

“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!!“

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!! 😊“

“First time here..Our waitress was great the food was amazing .We ordered two of the dips( the greens and the Brie dip) We also ordered the Ribeye special , chicken n waffles, and the Seared Ahi Tuna. The food was delicious.“

“Excellent food. Full plates. Good service.“

“The service, atmosphere, food and drinks were spot on perfection. This was our first time attending and we will certainly be coming back again. Our waitress was friendly, prompt and attentative. Our drinks and appetizers wonderful, full flavored and eloquently crafted. Our dinner was paced perfectly to allow our appetizer to settle. the meals were both designed to perfection. I am the lead Furniture specialist of a local restaurant distributor and I have to say, I was very impressed with the interior design. Inside and out, this venue was beautifully designed. I love the concept of an open kitchen. Overall I rate this five stars. We had a positive experience. Can't wait for our next visit. Highly recommend.“

“My family and I had such an amazing experience last night at The Preserve. The service was EXCEPTIONAL, atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious.I am extremely grateful for the last minute accommodations(party of 20).We truly enjoyed our night, thank you for such a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ms.K my granddaughter loved her❤️“

“Absolutely love this place!!! Great food!!!“

“The cheese sauce is amazing! Even our little dairy intolerant one loves the Mac and cheese. When Grubhub failed to deliver our order, Jarred went the extra mile to make sure we got our food while we are home sick. Good food, good people! The best kind of comfort any time of year.“

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

“everything was great except a $16 Manhattan that was too small to be considered a fair size for this drink. My mistake to accept it. I should have refused it. Everything else was perfect.“

“We went to Logan's twice in the last couple if weeks. The food there is great. Despite the fact that the restaurant is short on staff, the staff they do have is phenomenal and always going an extra mile to accommodate their customers. We had a great brunch in Sunday despite a very long wait. Everyone enjoyed their food and our waitress was great! We will return.“

“We had an issue recently with the take out service at Tullys in Fairmount which was a rare occurrence. The food is always consistent and service prompt. I felt it was important to share my experience with management as I knew it was not typical of this location. I was called by Allen the manager who had been a friendly face for years. He was very apologetic of the situation and appreciative of my feedback, he wanted to make it right and advised me to ask for him when we decided to dine in again. We went on a typical busy Friday night. We’ were greeted and almost immediately sat. Before our meals touched the table he came over to advise me that one of our meals was on him as a courtesy. Allen is an important part of the Tullys family and the Fairmount location. He is always friendly and cares that his customers leave satisfied. The food was nothing less than delicious, tenders and fries came out cooked perfectly and within 10 minutes of ordering. Great Job Allen and Fairmount Tullys team!“

“Very nice ppl will be bck again“

“Great food, friendly service, soothing atmosphere. Will definitely return.“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“I've been patronizing this place for 25 years. Great service with great prices. Highly recommend!!!“

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

“Celebrated a “cousins holiday get together” here for the first time and based on the experience expect it to be an annual get together in the future. Actually can’t wait to visit multiple time in between too!! Everything was exceptional from service to food. Love the comfortably spacious dining area also. Cannot wait to visit again!!!“

“What a find in the Double Tree Hotel in East Syracuse, NY! We stopped for the night in East Syracuse on our way to Boston. We arrived late into the city and were looking for a place for a late-night meal. We lucked out with the find of the Season Tavern inside the Double Tree Hotel.Our first choice was the Salt City Smashed Burger. The burger arrived large with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese on a Brioche Bun/Roll with fries. The burger was great and the presentation was very good.Our second choice was the Street-Style Fish Tacos. This treat arrived with Red Snapper, Napp slaw, Pico De Gallo, Cotija cheese, Chipotle Aioli, lime, and Cilantro. All of this was served on our choice of either flour or corn tortillas. We picked the flour tortillas. We had a choice of either a salad or chips as a side. We went with the salad. Just like the burger the tacos were great and the presentation was very good. We enjoyed our meals with glasses of wine which were appropriately priced.Once again, I wish Google would allow ½ stars. The Season Tavern is a solid 4 ½ stars. This was great bar food at a reasonable price. The service was over the top; thank you, Ms Kim! We don't travel this way much, but if we do, we will make sure we stop and dine at the Season Tavern. Enjoy!“

“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!“

“We enjoyed our night out, they made us feel super comfy when we arrived early and offered us the draft/cocktail menu while we waited. Then dinner was super amazing loved everything even tempted us with dessert! Definitely worth visiting again!“

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

“Always consistent great food and atmosphere. Burgers and other sandwiches are amazing!!“

“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 !!“

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

“went there today for dinner the food was awesome the staff took great care of the party“

“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.“

“Went for my birthday, I had never been and was excited to experience the bar and had a great time. The atmosphere was very calm and welcoming, the staff were so pleasant and the food was great. It made my birthday perfect, I will definitely be going back some time.“

“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.“

“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 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!“
