“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!”

“We absolutely love it here. It’s so cozy , welcoming and just that little niche that Oswego needed . So glad they are open again for the season !”

“great food and even better customer service!”

“Great place, upscale food with a relaxing atmosphere.”

“Dinner with a view! 🌊🍔🌭 Stopped at Rudy’s Lakeside Drive-In in Oswego with my wife and daughter — it’s our go-to spot every time we’re in town. I had a burger, my daughter went for a hot dog, and my wife got the veggie burger. We all shared fries and drinks, and everything was absolutely delicious. You just can’t beat good food right by the lake. Already looking forward to our next visit! ☀️🍟 #RudysLakeside #OswegoEats #FamilyDinner #LakesideVibes #FoodWithAView”

“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!”

“So much fun! Such an ambient place with great vibes. The band played the best oldies, the drinks were delicious & the decor was a beautiful monumental to firefighters. Keep on keeping on:)”

“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.”

“Big pizza fan. So the family eats a lot of it 🤣. This place is awesome. Pizza was really GOOD! Best I've had in a while. The deals are good for your pocket.”

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

“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.”

“They have amazing bartenders, great cooks, and some of the best food I’ve had! I went there tonight, and I was waved to by Kenzie before I even got in the building. Within a few seconds of walking in the door, I was asked what I needed, and while waiting I had a couple of the bartenders come up to see if I needed anything. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“The food is always great, and the service is always friendly. 10 out of 10! I would definitely recommend!”

“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.”

“this is absolutely the best little bakery in NY. If you're here for Harbour Fest definitely stop in and get some snacks!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Its a tad expensive for what you get. Meal does come with 4 slices of bread but no salad or soup unless you pay for them. We had lasagna and chicken fetticine alfredo and 2 mixed drinks for $80 (without tip added) - could not taste any alcohol in drinks so asked for another shot to be added. So we paid for doubles. Waitress was wonderful, lasagna was over baked. Alfredo sauce was delicious.”

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

“the food is always amazing”

“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”

“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🤤”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Visited on a whim as we were staying at a hotel close by while visiting family in the area! Friendly neighborhood bar with great service, plenty of beer on tap and delicious menu choices. Love the fireplace tables on the patio. We also forgot a jacket during our dinner and the bar staff held it for the next day! Thank you and we will be back.”

“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!”

“very friendly people! great food!”

“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 have tried most pizza joints in Oswego- and none of them quite hit the mark. Cold upon arrival- raw onion tossed on the pizza prior to arrival (oops we meant to cook it) or just crappy pizza! So we decided to try Pizza Villa and we are pretty happy with the pizza. It is on the thicker side which presents a small issue that I will address- but the flavor was great, toppings abundant and the baked wings were delicious. Heading home from Liverpool we called and placed a pickup order. Meat pizza with onions and an order of plain wings- crispy. Staff that answered the phone were great and informative and after a “give us about 30 min” I hung up the phone and headed their way. Arrived to lots of smiles and happy staff making pizzas and wings and told them we had not had great experiences with other places in Oswego- and they said “well we hope you love ours” Got home and dug in. The pizza and sauce (just the right amount) is delicious. I had asked for it to be well done as we generally prefer thin crust, theirs is pretty thick, and they obliged. The wings were really great and fell off the bone. The only criticism I have is that due to the thickness of the crust, it wasn’t cooked through and was doughy. They seem to cook the pizza in a pan in the oven and it doesn’t have direct contact with the oven (that is what I saw) so perhaps the pan is keeping the crust from cooking through? Not sure- but it was the only draw back. It wasn’t horribly undercooked just enough that it was noticeable. Other than that- great taste, great experience and we will be back!!”

“amazing. Wonzones Calzones is a gift from the gods. I don’t know what sort of magic the folks at Wonzones are putting in their food, but every bite is filled with flavor. The staff are angels in aprons. Wonzones is the perfect place whether it’s 2AM or 6pm. If I could give the 6/5 stars I would. This place is perfect. They might jus have the best calzones on the PLANET. Don’t miss it.”

“Friendly bartender and customers. and free cupcakes!”

“We went for Trivia night. First time I've been there. Nice place, comfortable. Other patrons seemed friendly enough. Trivia was fun. Had a good time. They have bar food but we didn't have any as we had eaten already. Full bar, large selection of beers. Don't drink beer so don't know about it. I will probably go back for Trivia again.”

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

“The burgers and tacos are amazing!”

“Absolutely love this place! Drinks are delicious, prices are good, enjoyable people. Just a great atmosphere in general. Definitely recommend coming here if you haven’t! I haven’t tried all drinks but my favorites are PUFF and CUCUMBER SEED”

“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.”

“My friends and I had a great time. Mariah, the bartender was excellent.”

“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.”

“The woodfired ovens give the food a wonderful flavor. I had the wings, my favorite, they were scrumptious. Nice, crisp and not too hot. My wife hat the daily soup ,pablano corn chowder, and the watermelon goat cheese arugula salad. All was very enjoyable. Made our trip from Orlando worthwhile.”

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

“Absolutely love this place. Always greeted with a smile. The customer service is just as phenomenal as the coffee they serve. I have to drive out of my way to get coffee from here, unless I’m already in Oswego, which isn’t super often. But there’s been times I make the drive just for the coffee, like I did this very morning! I do wish I could get coffee throughout the week from Riverwalk and that Fulton had a coffee shop just like this, because it really is the best. Definitely WAY better than Dunkin’ when it comes to quality AND customer service; you know your order will always be right! 1000% recommend this place. And I’m also excited about my coffee gnome I bought from them. He’s just so cute!”

“***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!”

“Easy to get to on campus spot for a great crafted coffee / non coffee beverages . They serve Starbucks drinks. They have plenty of grab and go food and sweet options. Plenty of tables , WiFi and a microwave for reheating . Next to the campus library !”

“Good ambience, great service, and fabulous food!”

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

“the staff were amazing! they were all very personable and fun to be around. the service was outstanding and the food... the food was devine! thank you for making my birthday special!”

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

“Delicious Belgian waffle topped with Berries!”

“Prices are pretty good, food was amazing! Tried the Omaha panini, the spinach wrap side salad and fries and everything was great.
Look wise. It is really neat, lots of memorabilia and the wood work looks really nice. The ppl are nice too. Definitely recommend 💯”

“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.”

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