“We drove in from the Utica area to Eva’s. Our server and the entire staff were so welcoming and the food was that delicious, authentic taste of Poland. Loved the old school cozy, family feel of the restaurant. We have found a new favorite that is worth a little drive!”
“The absolute BEST Indian restaurant in Central NY. They go above & beyond for all of their customers. The food is ALWAYS top notch every time I have come here. You never have to ask for a refill on drinks or anything, they are on top of it! You really feel like family here because even after your first visit they actually remember you! The vibe brings you to a peaceful space where you don’t even feel like you’re in Syracuse anymore! 10/10 ⭐️”
“Aloha crab was extremely good. We definitely enjoyed our seafood boils. Our server Joe was very friendly and helpful. Def recommend eating here and hopefully you get Joe as well”
“We had the pleasure of celebrating our anniversary at Noble Cellar on a busy Saturday evening, and it was amazing from the moment we walked in. The drinks were delicious, and we started with the spinach salad and oysters. Who knew a spinach salad could be so incredible? I’m still thinking about it. The combination of bacon egg yolk, confit mushroom, fried shallots, charred onion vinaigrette, tomato powder, and croutons made every single bite unforgettable. For my entrée, I had the flat iron, and it was cooked to perfection. The gorgonzola brûlée, blue cheese cavatelli, rainbow carrots, and pesto complemented the dish beautifully without making it feel heavy at all. The meat practically melted into the cheese, creating a richness and tenderness that was absolute bliss. My husband had the olive oil poached halibut with lentil stew, root vegetables, vadouvan, and ricotta salad. I was honestly surprised he chose the fish with so many incredible options on the menu, but truly, halibut has never tasted so good. Every element of the dish worked together perfectly. The moody, beautiful décor makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of Syracuse and into NYC or somewhere far beyond Central New York. We are lucky to have a place like this locally. The attention to detail, the service, and every single touch throughout the evening felt intentional and elevated. On our way out, we chatted with Rob, and what stood out most was seeing how he made time to genuinely welcome every guest coming in and personally say goodbye to people leaving. The care and hospitality felt authentic, and it added so much to an already exceptional experience. A truly memorable anniversary dinner, and we absolutely cannot wait to go back.”

“Once again….have literally traveled the world, but I find the best authentic Indian cuisine is right down the street. Never, ever had something that was so-so from the menu. Staff is wonderful and very attentive. Thank you!”

“This place is a hidden gem! The food, the atmosphere, the STAFF are all amazing! We will definitely return!”
“My friend recommended Luna Cafe to me she adopted a kitty here. I went with my boyfriend today and the workers are very kind. Luna Cafe is a very cool hidden gem!! My boyfriend and I had 30 minutes in the cat room. The cat room was an amazing experience. we both bonded with a Kitty right away she came up to the both of us and we played. I filled out an adoption application hoping we get her🙏. If you're interested in adopting they have so many friendly cats available. I highly recommend this gem. 💓💓”
“A bunch of us girls went for brunch today. It was my first time there and definitely won’t be my last. Everything from the food, service, and decor was top notch. I was too busy chatting and scarfing my food to get any pics. My favorite was the frittata and the cheesy potatoes! Can’t wait to introduce this cute place to more friends. ❤️❤️❤️”
“We hosted a bridal shower in 2024 and a baby shower in 2025 at The Cider Mill, and both experiences were absolutely wonderful. The food was incredible—truly out of this world—and our guests are still talking about it. At both events, multiple people told us it was the best shower they had ever attended because of how amazing the food was. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and Olivia, who we worked with while planning both events, was fantastic. She made the entire planning process so easy from start to finish—organized, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything felt seamless and completely stress-free. We highly recommend The Cider Mill for your next event, or even just for a fantastic dinner. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Drinks were weak I couldn’t taste the alcohol at all I don’t even believe they put any in my drink.”
“Celebrated a “cousins holiday get together” here for the first time and based on the experience expect it to be an annual get together in the future. Actually can’t wait to visit multiple time in between too!! Everything was exceptional from service to food. Love the comfortably spacious dining area also. Cannot wait to visit again!!!”

“Syracuse halal gyros food is 100/10… huge portions, reasonable prices, and absolutely delicious. They are open late which is great because there aren’t many options open late these days. When we picked up our order the gentleman behind the counter offered us a huge “sample” of chicken and rice so we could try their (new?) green sauce which was also delicious. I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone.”
“I absolutely LOVE this place! I am so happy a loving environment like this exists. It’s such a wonderful way to spend time with furry loved ones. I instantly felt happy just being there around so many playful cats. I’m so surprised that they all seem to get along. All of the cats I’ve seen there are so calm and playful, or they are sleeping peacefully. It’s a wonderful, loving and clean environment for these feline friends to live or hopefully get adopted into new forever homes. I highly recommend paying them a visit. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable, too. 10 out of 10 stars for Pawsitivitea Syracuse! 😻”

“Came in here today on my lunch break and was greeted with a friendly smile and assistance from the cashier. I looked on the menu and was bummed out because I was in the mood for hawawshi but they didn’t have it. The man behind the counter gladly offered to make it for me, I was so elated. The hawawshi was absolutely delicious and took me back to the ones I had in Egypt 🇪🇬. If you want great food at a decent price with a friendly atmosphere and great music this is the place for you. I highly recommend it. 10 stars ✨”
“We had Kabab Guys cater food for two different events, and they did an amazing job both times! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and arrived perfectly prepared. Our guests loved everything, and we received so many compliments on the food.
The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and the entire catering experience was smooth and hassle-free. Kabab Guys was professional, reliable, and made both events even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Kabab Guys for catering! We will definitely be ordering from them again for future events. 5 stars all the way!”

“I brought some out of town friends into Three Lives to check out the murals by local artists. Alex and Jon went WAY above and beyond to provide us with excellent drinks and service. This unique establishment raises the bar!”
“Another anniversary dinner at Pastas, and it didn’t fail. Caleb at the bar is our go to, and is always top notch! From letting him pick our dessert, to casual chats, we won’t go to anyone else! Thanks for making our night just a bit more special! 5+ stars, always!”
“My friend and I stopped there to eat before we went to the Landmark. We both ordered sangrias and taco salads. Salsa, chips and waters were delivered to the table without asking. Our server, James, was friendly and helpful. The food and drinks is were served quickly. The taco salads were delicious. Cost was about $35 per person. Any bill over $50 the tip was figured into the bill. Would come here again.”

“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!”
“We recently had dinner at this establishment. It as a special occasion so be brought a cake with us and were told there would be a $20 serving fee! How outrageous is that! In this day and age with this economy I would think you would be grateful for the business. Where is the customer service! I was told you have a baker on sight so that is the reason! ridiculous! Needless to say we will NOT patronize Francescas again and will spread the word! There were 6 of us and so with drinks etc. we had a hefty bill Also, the veal saltimbuca was way overcooked!”
“Best place to have a party in event room. Maria is the best to work with. Responded very quickly to inquire of room for my father’s birthday celebration. Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!”

“I live between Syracuse and Rochester and was in Syracuse. I’ve passed by Apizza Regionale several times and finally stopped. I ordered an Apizza with sausage to go. I’ve heard of New Haven style and Apizza but have never had it. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The crust had a slight blackening on the bottom and was still airy and tasty. The sauce was perfect as was the sauce. It was very delicious and will definitely be back again. I also want to say how great the service was. The waitress that took my order was very pleasant and professional. I had knee surgery a couple weeks ago and when I returned to pick up my order she carried it out to my car for me. Thank you Apizza Regionale for the great experience.”

“I ordered the bourbon chicken skillet. The vegetables were excellent and the chicken was amazingly tender. This is one of the best skillet dinners on the menu. I spoke with (manager?) Tracey, who was quite pleasent while I dined. Hopefully Denny’s keeps this skillet dinner.”
“We only got drinks so can't comment on how the food was but the drinks were great and the person behind the counter, I believe her name was Dani, was just an amazing person. Super friendly and nice. It was a bit busy since most of us got off the bus at the rest stop but she was being nice to everyone”
“Great place while waiting for delayed flight. Table 400 Always fun place, but today was exceptional. Lori was our server. She was friendly & fun while waiting for our meal. Very helpful too. Please pass along to her…. Thanks Thanks Paula”
“I've never said "Wow, this is a good burger" when I went to any other McDonald's. I don't know if they salt the patties or have some other secret method, but WOW the burger I got blew me away. I liked the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the place. Only downside is the music might not be to everyone's taste, but everything else made it a shockingly good stop.”
“We Love the cocktails and the food. honestly, a 15/10. try the blackberry mint julep”

“Stella's is one of my favorite places for fish on Friday. They have it fried, broiled or grilled. Recently I was there and ordered mashed potatoes with my fish. I did not specify without gravy. When the waitress brought my dinner I was upset because it had gravy. She took them back to the kitchen. When she returned it seemed that I had more than before. Unfortunately I am allergic to gluten, which was in the gravy. For the last 2 days, I have been having symptoms related to eating gluten.”
“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!”
“Always consistent great food and atmosphere. Burgers and other sandwiches are amazing!!”
“Best place in Syracuse!! Food is incredible!! One of plates! So so so good”

“As an event and wedding planner, I work with many bakeries. The Sweet Praxis is one of my favorites for SO many reasons -- not only is their team professional, experienced and responsive, they're also super down-to-earth and creative. They're always thinking outside of the box, offering unique treats and flavors. Our team and our clients love that they have numerous options for those with dietary restrictions/allergies, as well! We highly recommend their services for any upcoming event you may have and if you don't have an event, you should swing by and order some goodies right at their shop😍🧁🎂”
“I have yet to have bad food or service at Darwin on Clinton. the staff are exceptional and take time to get to know you even though they are usually slammed. the second time I went there they remembered my name! the soups are pure magic on a cold dreary day and the blend of flavors on the sandwiches are creative, unusual and ultimately delicious! if you haven't been, you're missing out!”
“We are always so very satisfied and happy with the cakes we receive from Nino’s bakery. Not only are they delicious but they look amazing too! My son was so very excited when he saw a sloth cake; which is exactly what he wanted but even better than he could have imagined. Thank you for always making delicious, amazing custom cakes and making our kids birthdays extra special!”
“Awesome spot. The staff was fantastic, the food was absolutely solid, and the drinks were great. Great atmosphere and an all-around excellent experience. Definitely a place we’ll be back to!”
“#1 spot in Cuse. Better Korean food than in LA. Better Korean food than in Korea (maybe). Idk what they put in the seafood noodle soup CHAMBONG, but I have gotten it for four years and never been happier in my life. Bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, kalbi, tteok bok ki, boo dae chigae, and the dumpling soup are all spectacular. The food is unbelievable. Everything is good.”

“The Honeycomb Bakery offers some of the most delicious, fresh, and pure baked goods you’ll find in the area. Every item is made with care, and you can truly taste the quality in each bite—especially their croissants, which are flaky, buttery, and always freshly baked. Their cakes are perfect for any event, beautifully made and incredibly flavorful without breaking the bank. The ingredients are simple and wholesome, giving everything a homemade, comforting feel. Whether you’re stopping in for a treat or planning a celebration, Honeycomb Bakery delivers quality and affordability every time.”
“My coworkers and I order here very often for lunch during the week. It's a healthy alternative to some of the other lunch places in DT Syracuse. All items are customizable without unreasonable add-on prices. Fresh ingredients, fast and friendly service and very reasonable prices.”
“We ordered 2 lbs. of cookies in person to be picked up the day before Thanksgiving. When ordering we were asked which ones we wanted and we told them and pointed them out. Unfortunately when we picked up our order it contained a random mixture of cookies some of which we did not select because we didn't like them. Won't be going back.”
“Drink are fresh and taste so good. Love the variety they create with the seasons and Holidays. Live music is great and I love the outdoor area in the summer. Indoor and outdoor games are fun too. Toss N Fire always there and weekends in better weather a great lineup of rotating food trucks as well. The library room is a relaxing oasis away from the crowds on the weekends.”
“Very friendly service, top quality bbq. Would recommend for a flavorful experience when you're feeling that smokey taste. 5 stars hands down.”

“Went for my birthday, I had never been and was excited to experience the bar and had a great time. The atmosphere was very calm and welcoming, the staff were so pleasant and the food was great. It made my birthday perfect, I will definitely be going back some time.”
“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.”
“Was in the area for an appointment and did a search for a nearby place to have lunch. CopperTop was close by. The place is nice. The staff were friendly. Our waiter was very attentive and nice. The food was very good. Overall a nice place to have lunch.”
“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!!”
“We had an excellent Anniversary meal there last night. Our waiter was superb. Our food was amazing. Just wonderful 🤩”
“We each ordered the wings with different flavors (buffalo, bbq, and mango tango) interesting and enjoyable flavors. Drinks were good. It’s a nice place for a quick bite. Parking wasn’t too bad across the street. We’ll be back!”
“First time there tonight. Amazing Best seafood meals around and the cook is great. Do friendly and the place was so nice. Not much for decor but clean and neat. Can’t wait to go again”
“K Pot is life. This restaurant is great and I do feel like they’ve made noticeable improvements in the past 6 months or so. We’ve always had great servers, we frequently are served by Dee who treats us well. I wish I remember the name of the gal who served us last time during lunchtime, she was also fantastic.”
“Amazing. Every single time. I cannot talk highly enough about this place, it’s my absolute favorite restaurant EVER. Everything I’ve ordered there is so incredibly good. Red curry was my gateway but the massaman curry has me in a chokehold currently. PERFECT for date night or special occasions. The service, the food, the atmosphere, everything is just immaculate. I’m not even exaggerating it will change your life. 😍”
“Went to Joey's for the first time last night. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. From the fresh bread with yummy garlic butter to delicious salads and fabulous entrees. I ordered Shrimp Francaise and it was the best food I have ever eaten. I brought Tiramisu home for desert. Again, mouth watering, so so delicious. My friends had eggplant Parmesan, clams, salmon, chicken french, and all raved about their entrees. But the other best part was the host Chris and our wonderful server Nancy. She is by far the best server ever. She made our evening fun while providing excellent service. Totally in tuned with our table and always answering our questions with knowledge and a wonderful attitude. The ambiance was great. Nice little tables for two in corners and just the right atmosphere for everyone.”

We highly recommend The Cider Mill for your next event, or even just for a fantastic dinner. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Finally got to try some of their food after seeing them online over a year but missing their food trucks whenever they were in town. AMAZING!!! I got a beef quesadilla and my bf got a birria beef rice bowl. both fantastic!! (we both favored the quesadilla a little though). Highly recommend their food!

“Having been to the Lavish Mediterranean restaurant more than a few times now, I must say that I have enjoyed every meal that I have had out of the wide variety of fine quality of delicious dishes on their menu and the generous portions that they serve. Besides the delicious food, the polite and caring staff, the clean and well-lit environment, and the comfortable seating are an added plus. I would recommend this restaurant to all, and am fairly sure that future visits there will be desired.”
“The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food was great. We started off with ginger tea as it was a very cold night with high winds (Imagine that in CNY). Then we enjoyed the Fresh Summer Rolls. We had two orders, but they are so big that we both only ate half (and took the remainder home) so you could easily be satiated with one order for two people. For our entrees we had Pad See Eiw with Beef and Pad Prig King with Chicken. Both dishes were very good and as far as the portions, we took home approximately half of both. We would both highly recommend this little gem. (Oh, and the bathrooms were very clean.)”
“Ate here this weekend! Food and service were amazing. Still thinking of the chicken tacos. Pro tip- ask for Dylan as your server. Legit the best!”
“Food was fantastic, 10/10 recommend. Great prices for delicious food!”
“Have known the Macri’s for almost 50 years and used to work here too! Great family and great pizza! Moved away in ‘96…and still my favorite pizza nationally…definite 5 stars…too bad Richard’s only blemish on here is some tool from NYC who calls the “traditional cut” some oblong rectangles…Another one of these NYC idiots trying to pretend to be something he isn’t to the “farmers” in Upstate and CNY”
“Patrick Joseph’s at McAvan's Pub served me one of the best lunches I’ve had in a long time.
The Reuben was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the tomato, carrot & ginger soup was outstanding — comforting, bright, and clearly homemade. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
The staff and bartender were so welcoming and inviting, which really elevated the whole experience. Paired with a Guinness, it was the perfect lunch.
Great food, great service, and a cozy pub atmosphere. Highly recommend.”
“A bunch of us girls went for brunch today. It was my first time there and definitely won’t be my last. Everything from the food, service, and decor was top notch. I was too busy chatting and scarfing my food to get any pics. My favorite was the frittata and the cheesy potatoes! Can’t wait to introduce this cute place to more friends. ❤️❤️❤️”
“My family and I had such an amazing experience last night at The Preserve. The service was EXCEPTIONAL, atmosphere was great, and the food was delicious.I am extremely grateful for the last minute accommodations(party of 20).We truly enjoyed our night, thank you for such a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Ms.K my granddaughter loved her❤️”
“The atmosphere was cozy but could see this place being packed and crowded when it's not middle of winter and during school break (we visited early January) The cocktails where great and the bar staff knew their spirits. We were lucky to sit across from the food prep area which gave us the opportunity to watch and talk with Chef David. His menu is out of this world . The small Plate creations were absolutely phenomenal. You MUST try the tartare. We will def visit again next time we are in SYR and hope to sit in the same spot to talk with David.”
“everything was great except a $16 Manhattan that was too small to be considered a fair size for this drink. My mistake to accept it. I should have refused it. Everything else was perfect.”
“Munjed’s is a great restaurant they have great service and a great atmosphere the prices are reasonable and the food is filled with great flavor it is definitely a place to dine with your family or on a nice night out they have a full bar as well🍹”
“I ordered takeout last night. It was my first experience at XO Taco. The food was amazing! I can't wait to order again!”
“The food and the service here was top notch! We had the Friday specials of skirt steak and the halibut… absolutely delicious! I highly recommend coming here and if you do you have to get the tater tots!!!! They are not regular tater tots… they were little flavor bombs!! We will definitely be back!”
“We had a baby shower today at Lannie’s. I can’t rave about this place enough. They opened a little early so we could get in and set up for the party. Our server Jacob, an angel in disguise, went above and beyond for us. Helping with the decorations and anything else I needed. Food was absolutely delicious! 10/10. Thank you! We will definitely be back 🫶🏼”
“Epicuse catered our Marquee Reveal event and knocked it out of the park! All 250 attendees loved the level of elegance and food.
And the staff is so easy to work with!”
“Got a side of mac and cheese with 2 slices of pizza and it was amazing! Friendly man working the counter and serving the food. Very affordable as well. 🙂”
“The best Chinese food I have ever had to be completely honest. The food was so rich and flavorful. It tastes like care was put into this kitchen. The food does come out one dish at a time and not all at once like the average restaurant but we shared every dish anyway. We'll worth the visit.”
“This is a classic neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy or pretentious. A good place to watch a game tooNo beer on tap.I have known Randy the owner and his wife for years. They are gracious hosts.”

“This place is a hidden gem in the center of Syracuse NY. The sauce for the mussels was extraordinary and well thought out! The glaze on the salmon was exquisite. The salmon was cooked ro perfection.
The atmosphere was quiet as it was a Wednesday. But very open and relaxing!
The service was interesting. Isabella was my waitress. A young college student who just finished at a local community college and said she was considering continuing her education in business finance. I see nothing but success in this young girls future! She is professional, and appears to have a solid work ethic as well!
If you are a local, give this place a try. And if you are traveling from out of town and staying in the hotel, you have a really good place to eat right downstairs!
All the best Salt City Eatery and Isabella!!!”
“Sports Bar & Grill is a hidden gem for sports enthusiasts and casual diners alike. Offering an exciting atmosphere perfect for watching the game, it features large screens and a lively crowd. The menu offers a variety of bar favorites, including juicy burgers, wings, and crispy fries, all served with generous portions and fresh ingredients.”
“Been there plenty of times to shoot darts and hang out.....when shooting darts the service has always been excellent and the food they have provided has been phenomenal, I enjoy it Everytime I go there and never have a bad time, the atmosphere is also great”
“Service exceptional drinks amazing I chose Chicken francaise one of my favorite entrees that I have had at many restaurants.. it was not what I expected it was deep fried with a heavy sauce on it”
“After several years of having no Thai restaurant to call our own, I think we finally found our place. The food was amazing, the service was prompt and very friendly and engaging. I was warned when I ordered the hot (their spice levels are mild, medium, hot, and Thai hot, and I'm not doing Thai hot ever again, IYKYK). We had a great conversation with our server about the spice level and the food quality. I told her I came here for the heat and to let me have it. There's just something about Thai spice that compliments the dishes so well, it's why I love Thai cuisine so much when done right. Can I just tell you how happy this food made us? When we lost our local Thai place, it was like there was a death in the family. This was like seeing an old friend again. I ordered panang curry with chicken and Julie ordered a mango cashew stir fry. Wow. Both dishes were amazing. The flavors were so pronounced, the veggies were so fresh. It hit all the buttons. And just like the place we used to frequent, the heat was perfect. It was about 8 star heat for those of you who frequented Thai rose. I told my server when she brought it out I was quite excited to be able the see the heat in my dish with all the red speckles in it. We can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu, very highly recommended.”
“Huge shout-out to Pure Catering for providing incredible customer service and absolutely delicious, fresh breakfast and lunch sandwiches! Every bite was packed with high-quality ingredients, and the freshness truly stood out. Our whole team couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was! Working with Kelly and Kaydee was such a pleasure—they made everything easy and enjoyable from start to finish. I can’t wait to order from them again! If you haven’t tried Pure Catering yet, you’re missing out!”
“Tried for the first time, excellent food and service. Highly Recommended”
“Excellent place to go before show. The menu created for the show "Beatlejuice" was not only creative but delicious. Service was excellent - from start to finish it was a great dining experience.”
“After a hard day working on a house project I was too tired to cook so I called OIP Eastwood location and ordered 4 works steak subs with sides of marinara, 10 chargrilled mango habanero wings and a large sausage and mushroom pizza! We were starving obviously! Hillary got my order 100% correct and was super friendly! 25 minutes later the food was ready! When we got the food home and started devouring everything, all was prepared to perfection and tasted amazing! You now have 3 additional fans of your amazing food besides myself! Thank you all so much for making our hard day of work end so deliciously and making my difficult day so much easier come dinner time! ❤️”
“This place was great and it's an entire vibe. They encouraged us to come back with other people and hang out and play board games in their beautiful open space, and/or order food and have it brought there and make an evening of it.
They are so down to earth, and this is so surprising for how GOOD their wines are. I am a dry wine fan and those were excellent, but what I thought was interesting was that the sweet wines weren't overly sweet and were very drinkable and palatable. There is definitely something where for everyone.
Check out those by the glass prices!!! I'm coming here next time with friends!”
“I had the opportunity to work with Limp Lizard for the first time this past weekend, and they were wonderful to work with!
As a planner, I’m incredibly grateful for vendors who are communicative, reliable, and easy to work with, and Limp Lizard was exactly that. From the very beginning, Robin was responsive and readily available, and the on-site team was incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work alongside.
And, of course, the food was great too!
I would highly recommend Limp Lizard for both their food truck and their service. I’m looking forward to working together again in the future!”
“Excellent location right across from Landmark theater for a nice unrushed dinner before our concert. Our party had the polenta, salmon and chicken pot pie and all of our meals were fabulous! Highly recommend! Servers were attentive and very friendly!”
“The York was a great find in Syracuse. The atmosphere is chic and posh, while still offering great service. The shrimp, clam and chorizo pasta dish was amazing. The drinks were reasonable and well poured. Service was also very good. For anyone in Syracuse or visiting, this is a must.”
“Our waitress named Isabella was fantastic. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo which was delicious and had minestrone soup too and that was great too.”
“Awesome people, awesome food. Really friendly. I got a little taste sample of some absolutely delicious ziti concept they had going on. Service was quick. I'm working in the area from out of town and so happy I found this place. Open late too, which is really convenient. Edit: I just had the calzone I ordered. WOW! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I've never had a calzone this good.”
“It took me a minute to find this place because I thought it was a restaurant. It's a food truck. But boy...am I glad that I did. The food is delicious and they give you A LOT of food. Pictured below is day 2. Everything is so good. Worth me hunting them down. Will definitely go back!”
“Oishi Restaurant offers a delightful sushi experience with a variety of fresh and flavorful options to satisfy every sushi lover’s cravings. Known for its high-quality fish, well-crafted rolls, and creative combinations, Oishi provides an authentic sushi experience. The menu also features a variety of other Japanese dishes, such as sashimi, tempura, and teriyaki, all made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, making it a great place for both a quick meal or a more relaxed dining experience with friends.”
“During a career that has kept me on the road for decades as a touring musician, I have logged more hotel nights and endured more “continental breakfasts” than I care to count. Buffets blur together after a while. This one did not. And the reason is Madee. I was seated at the far table in the M-Club of the Syracuse Marriott Downtown when, precisely at 6:15 a.m., the door from the back of the house opened. Before a single chafing dish appeared, it was already clear that Madee was cut from superior cloth. Her uniform was immaculately pressed, her posture confident, her movements deliberate and economical. There was a quiet professionalism to the way she set the breakfast line, golden chafing dishes placed with a near ceremonial calm. No wasted motion. No noise. Just focus, grace, and purpose. It was the kind of work ethic you recognize immediately if you’ve spent a lifetime watching people either take pride in what they do or simply punch the clock. She was pleasant to look at, physically fit, composed, and radiating a confidence that came not from showmanship but from competence. When she approached my table at exactly the right moment, just as I was finishing my plate of sausage, scrambled eggs, and fingerling potatoes, she greeted me warmly and said, “Good morning, sir. We’d like to present you with this complimentary gift bag for the holidays.” It was a small gesture, but delivered with such sincerity and polish that it landed squarely where hospitality should. I was genuinely charmed. My eggs, which had cooled only because I was busy writing this very review, seemed to perk right back up in her presence. She asked what brought me to town, listened attentively, and when I told her I was a Syracuse native home for Christmas from Florida, she acknowledged it with warmth and ease. The conversation ended exactly as it should have, gracefully, without lingering, as she returned to her breakfast station. From my seat, I overheard her greeting other guests with a level of polish that far exceeded her youth. Every guest received the same respect and attentiveness. Hotels can be beautiful. Lounges can be exclusive. Food can be well prepared. But it is people like Madee who elevate a stay from comfortable to memorable. She represents the very best of hospitality: quiet excellence, genuine courtesy, and pride in one’s work. If Marriott is wise, they will take note. Madee is a credit not only to the M-Club, but to the entire profession.”
“The chicken pastini soup was served nice and hot, loaded with fresh veggies and chicken. Very good. The clams casino were perfectly prepared and so delicious, only problem was that we wanted more. Our entrees were excellent and accompanied with delicious crusty Italian bread. Will be back for more!”

“$7 delivery fee is too much other places charge $3. The food is pretty good. Owners seem confused.”
“Absolutely phenomenal! I ordered the Kabob Guys Mixed Grill Family Platter for pick up. Everyone bit of it was delicious! Our family enjoyed it all. The staff was so friendly when I picked it up. Even offered to help me to the car. Food was ready at my scheduled pick up time and was hot. I will easily go back and I know my family will too! So great!”

The staff was very caring and kind, food was prompt and fresh and the prices reasonable. The sushi was absolutely amazing, so of the best that we have had in the area! The Korean dish that my husband had tried, at the waitresses recommendation was so phenomenal! The restaurant was clean and tranquil. We can't wait to go again!!!”

“My sister and I went to Texas de Brazil today 7/15 at 1:00 for lunch. Our experience was amazing. Previously we were very disappointed and hoped this time would be better. We had Judy and Cya as our hosts/waitresses, we can’t say enough about the excellent service they provided. The food was perfectly cooked, the choices on the salad bar were wonderful. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our lunch and how Judy and Cya made our experience so enjoyable. These two women provided the best service, our food was delicious and we were very impressed. Thank you!”
“I ordered the bourbon chicken skillet. The vegetables were excellent and the chicken was amazingly tender. This is one of the best skillet dinners on the menu. I spoke with (manager?) Tracey, who was quite pleasent while I dined. Hopefully Denny’s keeps this skillet dinner.”
“My husband and I go there often. We live in Binghamton NY and it quite a drive but usually worth it. Last night we were there and I was disappointed that they didn't have a carving station open. No ham,roast beef or turkey..That's what I really like..They had meatloaf on the hot bar but it looked like it had been there for a while. It was dried out and very hard... All the other stations were very good as usual...I just hope the next time we come the carving station will be open...”
“Syracuse halal gyros food is 100/10… huge portions, reasonable prices, and absolutely delicious. They are open late which is great because there aren’t many options open late these days. When we picked up our order the gentleman behind the counter offered us a huge “sample” of chicken and rice so we could try their (new?) green sauce which was also delicious. I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone.”
“We had a thoroughly joyful quick meal at McDonald's today! We felt so lucky finding fast drive-thru service right away because it was buzzing. The hot Big Mac and quarter pounder burgers were extraordinarily flavorful, while savory golden fries, tender chicken nuggets, and cold soda drinks hit the spot completely. Big delicious classic fast food portions pleased everyone. Friendly staff made our day!”
“Stella's is one of my favorite places for fish on Friday. They have it fried, broiled or grilled. Recently I was there and ordered mashed potatoes with my fish. I did not specify without gravy. When the waitress brought my dinner I was upset because it had gravy. She took them back to the kitchen. When she returned it seemed that I had more than before. Unfortunately I am allergic to gluten, which was in the gravy. For the last 2 days, I have been having symptoms related to eating gluten.”

“I'm from Oklahoma, which is a lot closer to Mexico, so we had some really good Mexican food n street tacos.. almost made me feel like I was back home... The flavors were amazing and they had our order ready by the time we paid... Definitely recommend if ur n the area..”
“A very clean and quiet atmosphere with very helpful staff! All of the food was piping hot and fresh with lots of bold and wonderful flavor! Everything from the fried pork dumplings, Vietnamese egg rolls, chicken wings, spicy beef pho, chicken/vegetable w/exceptional white rice & chicken/vegetable egg noodles were perfect! We will be returning! Absolutely highly recommend and eagerly return! Very reasonable pricing for such amazing food🩵”
“Cute atmosphere, and really excited to try the seasonal menu when the holidays come. I ordered a Pausa iced latte with oat milk and I don’t know if they changed their oat milk that they used to use because it definitely used to be much more creamy like oatly barista creamy. This is my first pausa latte this summer and it didn’t look as creamy as before and looks like it was almond milk added. Also I found that the service was way too slow. There were 3-4 baristas/behind the counter, no line, at 8am on a Tuesday, but the 3 people waiting for their drinks and myself have been waiting for nearly 20 minutes which caused me to be late to my meeting and I arrived with enough time (25 mins prior)”
“This food was absolutely delicious! I got the butter chicken rice bowl. Asked for a medium spice level and it was perfect! The chicken was tender. The sauce was tasty. And the spice level was just hot enough to enjoy, but not too much! I also got a half order side of garlic Naan. First off. Thank you for offering half orders on that. Second. It was also really good and complimented everything well! The staff was friendly. The wait time was very reasonable. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!”
“This is an brain teaser drink place, despite it having coffee in the name, this is more than just coffee, this is an apothecary of drinks. I think it's a brain teaser because you choose your poison, and if you aren't feeling up to picking they have pre-made combos. The staff are the kindest people which is why I love coming here and I've even asked them to create a combo for me based on their preferences and they are happy to oblige. All in all highly recommend coming here, it well worth it”
“Finally got to try some of their food after seeing them online over a year but missing their food trucks whenever they were in town. AMAZING!!! I got a beef quesadilla and my bf got a birria beef rice bowl. both fantastic!! (we both favored the quesadilla a little though). Highly recommend their food! The owner is an absolute sweetheart as well 💕”
