Restaurants in Oswego

“Seasonally open local brewery making a great variety of craft beers (IPA's, stout, lager, barrel-aged). The owner and staff are very friendly and accomodating, the barn atmosphere is a great gathering place. Rick's creativity in brewing is appreciated.”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“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”

“great food and even better customer service!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“Best Place to have a good time”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“Not perfect, but easily and by far the best pub in Oswego, for my money.

Cheap drinks, fun cover bands, and a classic local spot. They get flooded with college kids sometimes, but people generally seem to go there to chill and have a good time.”

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

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

“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!”

“the food is always amazing”

“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 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🤤”

“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!”

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!”

“Friendly bartender and customers. and free cupcakes!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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.”

“very friendly people! great food!”

“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!”

“The burgers and tacos are amazing!”

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

“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 !”

“Love The Brick! Super friendly staff and great drinks. They have live bands pretty frequently and so much funnnnnnn!”

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

“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 💯”

“Delicious Belgian waffle topped with Berries!”

“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 night wine Wednesday with a great singer Eric Ruckus”

“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”
