“Love this restaurant my favorite in the syracuse area“

“My wife and I stopped in for a quiet lunch. This place see me a so unassuming, but it's very comfortable, and welcoming. I can't recall what my wife ordered, but I got Shrimp Tacos, three. So fresh, so tasty. Anyway, I really like this hideaway, so don't tell anyone!“

“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.

“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.“

“Great bar and restaurant for lunch and dinner in the area. When I was unsure what to order drink wise I was given the option and of a tasting based upon what I liked which was fantastic. I ordered the Miami Cuban and the food was excellent and worked well with having the bar next door. Left full and happy, all for maybe 30 bucks. I would recommend this spot for a hang out spot among friends or family.“

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

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

“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!!“

“Went to Lakeport Inn for their haddock dinner. Hubby and I shared and we still could not eat it all. The baked beans are outstanding, haddock was perfectly fried and the onion rings were abundant and done to perfection. Our server - Tara - was on point with all she had going on as they had just been slammed with customers and she was doing it all with a smile and good attitude. Not fancy by any means but you will leave feeling like they will know your name next time you stop in.“

“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.“

“I visited Thursday & was excited as i know Thursday special is turkey dinner, which i get frequently. I was disappointed- they chaned the stuffing recipe, dint like it at all. I asked for my gravy in the side ,not on my potatoes, good thing it was a brown salty gravy. The sweet potato casserole didnt measure up either ruhnny & to top it off the food was luke warm. They were extrenely busy but come on both turjey dinners were below the normal standard.“

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

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

“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“

“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.

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

“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 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.“

“As someone who values great service and community businesses, Twin Trees Cicero consistently delivers. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food is excellent. The pizza is delicious, and the Thai Chili wings are some of the best around. A great local spot I’m always happy to recommend!“

“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!!!“

“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 .“

“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“

“Best escargot, wonderful drinks and food“

“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.“

“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“

“We have been going to Applebee’s for years and have always enjoyed the food, atmosphere and especially seeing our favorite waitress..Mel!! Her outgoing personality and genuine smile creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. She remembers your order, has your drinks ready when she sees you and always has a story to share. She is absolutely wonderful and she certainly knows how to brighten your day!“

“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.“

“Best Chicken Wings in town!“

“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)!“

“Great food and cold beer!!!“

“I love all the crew! ❤️ Big thanks from your North Dakota friend!❤️“

“great food and great staff!!!!!“

“Very good and affordable breakfast! Friendly atmosphere and awesome service 😁“

“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.“
