On a recent trip to visit a local antique market in Pulaski- we stopped by the Lakeside Restaurant…read morefor a bite to eat and wow, were we pleasantly surprised! Seemingly in the middle of rural upstate NY is this gem of a restaurant. The server and everyone on the staff that interacted with us were simply lovely! Kind, helpful and joyful. I ordered a turkey melt with onion rings, and my friend had a burger with fried which she claimed was one of the best she had eaten in a long time. Accompanied by "sassy sauce" our fries and onion rings were dipped in this delightful yet spicy accoutrement! My turkey melt was delicious- carved turkey- not slimy cold cuts, cheese and banana peppers were a perfect and delectable combination on lightly toasted bread- simply marvelous! For desert- and they are all lovingly homemade, I had a mixed berry pie with ice cream and my friend had a slice of Dutch apple pie! Both equally and fabulously delicious! We left stuffed to the gills and so glad that we turned the truck around to try this hidden gem! Don't pass it up- stop by- it's worth it!

After a very long wait, breakfast was mostly undercooked. Runny eggs. Potato mushy. And the…read moreworse was the rubber bands undercooked bacon. The "hash" was 30% onions and smothered in cooking oil. Toast was good though. The place wasn't busy and it took 40 minutes to get food, and order was incomplete. Finally, a few folks walked in 15 minutes after me, and were known by name. They were served and ate before my food arrived undercooked. I guess you need to be local for decent service?

First time here and won't be our last!…read more We had a coupon for this place and forgot it at home but this just means we will have to come back and use it. First off extremely friendly service and safe service. They are doing everything by the book to protect their guests. The waitress could not have been sweeter and gave me a great suggestion for a cocktail and on what to order for dinner. Started off with the pretzel appetizer bc my husband loves pretzels and I love a good homemade cheese sauce. Salads were nice and fresh and I loved the pickled red onion. The dressings are made in house and you can tell. My husband had the prime rib Friday night special and it was cooked to his liking. Nice cut of meat and I stole an onion ring and it was yummy. I had the shrimp and grits and it was delicious! Didn't try dessert this time around but they sounded good.

We haven't been in a few years but this place has gone downhill. Overpriced! $24 dollar entree that…read moredidn't even take up up half the dish. I could have of put a for rent sign on it advertising all the free space. Dinner special entree of pulled pork Mac and cheese for $20 was a joke. Calamari was over fried and tasteless. We won't be going back. I wonder why the place was dead at 7pm. Bar area only had two customers. Doesn't look like we're the only ones that feel the same.

I would recommend this place to others and definitely go back

There was more than enough food for two people to share with being overstuffed. Food was tasty. Seasoning had a nice balance of flavor without being salty like other boil restaurants in the Syracuse area. A little messy but that's to be expected when eating this type of food. They supply gloves, bibs and bucket for shells. Restaurant was clean with a nice atmosphere. Server was friendly and helpful with it being our first time there. Food was a little pricy but we would return and recommend to others. One potential negative is they don't serve alcohol but if you're not a drinker then was won't be an issue.

I ordered online which isn't my preference but it was my first time trying this establishment so I…read morejust rolled with it. Easy online ordering, I believe the discount was for online order and $1 convenience fee. Order was ready when I arrived only 20 minute wait upon order. Prices comparable to other local boils I've had locally, this combo includes thinly sliced sausage and one hard boiled egg as well so that was a little something extra! I usually order extra corn and potatoes to make shareable which would be an additional $6.50 for three corn and potatoes. I thought I would see the standard for first order. I would add next order. Loved the house special sauce that combines all the flavors, extra hot for me definitely had a kick! I'll try the super hot next time, it packed some heat but I could do spicier. All the seafood was good the crab legs just a bit rubbery, corn, potatoes, sausage all delish swimming in their speciality sauce! I add my own extras on many occasions. Friendly service with no wait and easy parking. Definitely will add to my spots for seafood boils! Looks like more of a pick up destination put plenty of tables for dining in with a casual at the sea side ambiance and picture wall.

If you're looking for a classic summer experience, Rudy's Drive-In in Oswego is worth the stop…read more This old-school, à la carte drive-in sits right on the shores of Lake Ontario, and the setting alone makes it special. The lake views are beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect backdrop for a casual meal. One unique touch I loved was that they provide paper bags to cover your food when you're eating outside, a clever way to keep the seagulls from swooping down and stealing your meal! Inside, it's exactly what you'd expect from a traditional drive-in. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept the line moving quickly. Plenty of parking with some space across the street too. Cleanish restrooms. One thing to know if you have food allergies, specifically a shellfish allergy, and they use shared fryers, so I couldn't safely order anything fried. I really appreciated their honesty and transparency. Between the friendly service, gorgeous waterfront location, and nostalgic atmosphere, Rudy's is a classic place that's easy to recommend.

"Great" is always relative to the palate using the word. After 80 years on the shore of Lake…read moreOntario, Rudy's carries a lot of lore opened by Rudy Gadziala and his wife Marie in 1946, now run by third-generation owner Jason Livesey, famous for its Texas hot sauce and the founder's old line about owning a "million dollar hot dog stand." Online reviews are all over the map, so we wanted to see for ourselves. We visited recently with our 7- and 8-year-old nephews, hoping to soak up the tradition. The reality was more transactional. The hostess took our order while sipping her own beverage likely why we were shorted an order of fries. Nice enough, but not especially professional or welcoming. The whole operation moves fast; the staff is determined and task-focused rather than friendly. You get a buzzer and wait. The interior was renovated in 2025, and it shows but not in a good way. The bright white walls and green banquettes feel sterile, more fast-casual chain than 80-year-old lakeside institution. In modernizing, they stripped out whatever nostalgia the old space had and put nothing back. Some local artwork, vintage photos, or lake history on those fresh white walls would go a long way. The food: the boys enjoyed their cheeseburgers, and the fries are genuinely good. The fish sandwich was generously sized but bland the batter had little flavor, and the tartar sauce didn't rescue it. For a place with an 80-year reputation built on fish, I expected more. The lobster mac and cheese left a lot to be desired. The tab: four drinks, two cheeseburgers with fries, lobster mac, and a fish sandwich with fries came to nearly $70 steep for a lakeside stand where fries alone run $5.25. The setting is lovely and the legacy is real. But sometimes generational ownership slips down a slick slope and making money starts to matter more than making memories.

We have been here several times and come for their burgers. They also have a great selection of craft brews. The bartender was also working as our server and was very attentive and also caught an error in one of our parties plates and quickly remedied the situation without question. This time we diverted a bit and I had the Charleston. It was a very good chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese and a homemade ranch dressing. The ale house Philly was equally delicious. It appears that they have added to their menu since we were last here as well.
