“I usually have to drive out to Syracuse for good sushi... but no more!! I cannot stress how fresh and flavorful everything is here... still as we drive away im dreaming of our next visit. the fish wasnt that stale 2 days in the fridge stiffness... it melts in your mouth. not sold? I am very sure the woman behind the counter is the sweetest human ive ever met- she truly truly wants to make good food and shes doing just that. we WILL be back.”

“Oswego Bagelry and Bread Shop, is amazing they have many different options for bagels and breakfast sandwiches. The service is excellent they serve with a smile and friendly conversation.”

“Had an amazing breakfast! Some of the Best sausage gravy I have ever had! Well worth the little bit of a wait and couldn’t ask for better service!”

“Perfection for Birria Delicious / felt kinda sinful to eat like it’s so so yummy”

“the food is always amazing”

“Skyline Sophistication with Heart

This rooftop lounge delivers on every front—elevated ambiance, outstanding service, and a thoughtful menu that welcomes everyone. I was especially impressed by the creative mocktail offerings. As a non-drinker, it’s rare to find options this flavorful and beautifully crafted.

Their vegetarian dishes were equally thoughtful—hearty, delicious, and clearly made with care. It’s refreshing to see a space where inclusion is more than a buzzword.

And the view? Absolutely stunning. Whether you're soaking in the sunset or enjoying the sparkle of the city lights, the skyline provides the perfect backdrop to an already memorable experience.

A place I’ll be happy to return to.”

“Went to a birthday party. Great spot. Really nice outdoor venue. Did not really go inside the bar. Did not order food.
HOWEVER, Beer prices were the lowest I've seen, outside of a private club.”

“Stopped here while I was in town recently. I'm not sure why I didn't come here more often when I was in college. Best calzones I've had to this day. The tomcat is a classic, but the OX5 might be my new favorite.”

“Outstanding. I visited for the first time last week and it won't be my last. They serve breakfast all day and I had been looking for a local diner that offers it. I come home from work late at night and most places stop serving breakfast by the time I become functional. The cinnamon raisin toast is worth it. I had a fritatta but can't wait to try other items.”

“I am a traveler and this pub has to be one of my favorites. I came in on a whim and they treated me like I was a local. Bartender was on top on service and the locals and I shared laughs and stories. Next time im in town I'll happily come back.”

“Best Pizza & wings experience in Oswego! We went at 700PM on Sunday, had the place to ourselves. The owner took great care of us. We got the small pepperoni pizza & 10 wings special! Everything was piping hot, delicious and superb! We will be returning when we are back in town! A highly definitely recommendation!!!”

“Recently discovered this oswego bar love the darts and the outdoor porch, wish it had a pool table but that's ok, feels like it has a solid vibe not over run with college kids haha”

“First of all, I’m a foodie. I love it that the place is owned by a real chef. Thus, I find the food to be a lot of fun while being absolutely scrumptious… Appearing as fine art. Same for the custom libations that go along with nicely, chosen wines, and beers. It feels good to sit in the place.… I love the vibe. Try the short rib!”

“I come up to Oswego several times a year for fishing. My favorite place to stop is GS Steamers Bar & Grill. I love to see Melissa behind the bar. She’s the best bartender around! We love the food, drinks and environment! See you again Melissa!”

“I love this bar! Great people and amazing food💜”

“Wow, Fantastic! You only find food and coffee this good overseas… until now. Already planning my next visit. Yum!”

“Thank goodness we stopped. This drink thing I got….watermelon cucumber elixer? Idk- probably the best (insert giggle here) thing I’ve ever had in my mouth. Hit my taste buds like…nothing before. If you’re passing through, don’t miss this stop.”

“Love this place. You can’t go wrong here.”

“They made a deliciously moist spice cake with cream cheese frosting for my grandmothers 90th birthday. Everyone loved it!”

“Great tenders and service yesterday! Thank you!!”

“What's not to love about Bayshore Grove! It is one of the most scenic wedding venues to photograph. The staff is top notch and the food is delicious!”

“this place did not disappoint! everything about it was phenomenal. from the atmosphere, to the servers/bartender, to the outstanding food and drinks. (the Brussel and burnt ends are delicious!!!) i can't wait to go back and try more things! best meal my husband and I have gotten in a long time!”

“Enjoyed the food especially the chicken & eggplant parm. Antipasto salad had lots of olives. We sat in the room by the fireplace. Wedding soup was delicious.”

“I stop in every time I get coffee, never dissociated! Was not expecting them to be open this Saturday but was very pleased and excited to see they had a build-your-own mini cakes! I’m obsessed🤤”

“So good! Was my first time trying Kiyomi this evening but definitely won’t be my last”

“very friendly people! great food!”

“The pasta was flavorful and the atmosphere was cozy. Stretched bread is a fan favorite and a must try. The drink menu is expansive and their signature Red Sun is a must try.”

“This is my absolute favorite bar to go to in town! I enjoy wing night! And I also love the bartenders! Both sweet and very safe and fun atmosphere!”

“Handled a major dinner time rush. Wait time was minimal, and food quality was excellent. Definitely on of Oswego’s best pizza places.”

“Friendly bartender and customers. and free cupcakes!”

“It's a Sicilian pizza crust, cooked Neapolitan round. Oh..and it's loaded with cheese! Everyone's vision of pizza is different. The reality is, everyone just really wants a good tasting pizza. Pizza villa makes an almost Deep Dish Pizza, without the Deep Dish. It's a hour from where I live, but my neighbor has always raved about the pizza at Pizza Villa going back 40yrs, and stopping in when he could. Tonight I happened to be up that way and planned on finally stopping in on the way home. It's a unique style pizza in the Sicilian style while being Napolitan round. So if you love a thick slice, loaded with cheese, Pizza Villa is your place! If you want a thinner crust I guess you can ask, but how many people don't eat the crust ring! Their pizza ring is smaller, and less likely not to be eaten! They only down side is, they don't have slices but they offer personal up to a large pizza. They have 3 sizes of ccanzone! The small I got is big enough for 2-3 people to share. You get good, and a good amount of it, a very reasonable price!”

“Absolutely beautiful, charming, restaurant and brewery! The owners have kept the charm of the history of the building and aesthetic while making the restaurant and bar updated and stunning. The beer was top notch with plenty of different styles to appeal to any craft beer lover. The menu offers great options with the ability to customize your meal with lots of variety for toppings/sides. Wish it weren’t so far from where I live or this would certainly be my new favorite place to relax and dine. Definitely worth visiting, and staying! I shall return!”

“I go here all the time, second to none!”

“i had the greek salad but wish they didnt charge for every topping for a sandwhich it should come with lettuce and a dressing at least the cashier we had was very nice and the salad i ate for two meals no olives though? i miss them in the greek salad just wondering why? overall great food but its a little pricey”

“Always a Great time !! And owner Pam is a blast!!”

“The Fuse is definitely one of my top choices for dining in Oswego. The ingredients are consistently fresh and prepared with great care. When ordering take-out, the food is packaged nicely. I've never been disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Just love The Mix. Ppl that work there are awesome, friendly, and uplifting place to go to.”

“Exactly what Oswego needed! A neighborhood bar where everyone is welcomed! As soon as you walk in you'll know it! Such a welcoming place, great drinks, great friends, awesome tunes, what more do we need. Oh wait..a pool table and few dart boards and live music here and there! There's no other place you need to be!”

“We had Samantha as our waitress. She was kind, patient, didn't hurry us. Was a excellent waitress”

“Awesome modern hockey arena, always have a good time at the Oswego games! Pretty intense and crazy time :) Never enough parking, most most of the attendees are on-campus students so I guess that works it out for itself.”

“Food is delicious and service spectacular! highly recommend 👌”

“Delicious Belgian waffle topped with Berries!”

“The burgers and tacos are amazing!”

“So welcoming to come there! I love the events they hold there, especially the poetry nights on Thursday! A little pricey but it's also Starbucks so it's expected.”

“***2024 Update***Under new ownership Crossroads has completely turned around food quality is very good and the service has been great. Highly recommend checking them out!”

“Nice folks trying their best with what they have to work with. Dont hate the employees hate their support! im not a loxal and can read between the lines! Support your local servers! Thank you!”

“Will absolutely recommend this to every single person. My friends ordered Fajita Grill for catering and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. There were so many options for every single person. We had options for rice bowls and a tray of assorted Burritos. Plus chips and queso and desert. Everyone was impressed!! The food traveled amazing and the portions were enormous!! We’ll be eating leftovers for days without a single complaint! Thank you Fajita Grill for feeding my guests. Your service was amazing and We will 100% be calling you back for our next event.”

“Great pizzas (though either the menu didn't say they were thin crust or I missed it, not disappointed, just was unexpected), great service & great staff. Will absolutely be back to try more things!”

“Great night wine Wednesday with a great singer Eric Ruckus”

“The best bagels in town, the staff is always kind and quick! I definitely recommend going there.”

“Hands down some of the best food I’ve ever had, and incredible polite and patient employees. Some guy came in drinking and swinging a bottle of vodka around and kept yelling “I’m Chris Holmes give me my f***ing this and my f***ing that. You all this a sub, my dog wouldn’t even eat this”. Guy went on and on and the employees handled the situation with incredible professionalism. They managed to walk him outside and then he stumbled off. Turns out the food he was trying to return wasn’t even from Oswego Sub Shop. Fantastic food and service with a smile. Can’t beat it.”

“Ordered an Eggplant Parm Hero for delivery and it was absolutely beautiful! I ordered it with extra cheese and it was SMOTHERED in Mozzerella with the crispy eggplant and it absolutely made my night! Will def be making this place a new regular spot!”

“love the patatos and gravy popcorn chicken biscuits it's alway very hot the way I like it great JOB KFC”
