“Amazing food! This is our fourth visit here. Definitely worth the drive from Baldwinsville. We had the seafood chowder today and that was a meal in itself … and we split the bowl! Rich, hearty and delicious - it rivals some of the best chowders we’ve had in Cape Cod. My husband had the Elvis Burger and I had the brisket. Brisket was tender and flavorful! Love the fries here and they actually know how to make coleslaw!!“

“I Love Origlio"s food, everything is so good.“

“I'm not a sports fan at all but the vibe here was very nice. Lots of tv's to watch and a bunch of sports memorabilia in the walls.
The workers were all super nice and exactly what you want when you go to a restaurant.
I had the white broccoli and spinach flatbread with some grilled chicken on it and it was very good. It could've benefitted from some seasoning as it was a bit bland, but it is something I would get again.“

“My family and I went to Oneida Dennys 8/15/25. We were greeted right away, sat and got our drinks fairly quickly. Our server Rhonda was an amazing server. She was attentive and polite and get our food order in asap. The food was alright could have been cooked a little longer but it was pretty busy. She asked us if we needed anything more and how our food was. We need more servers like Rhonda! She was exceptional, kept us in mind and was ontop of everything we needed very good.“
