    Donnie Freeman special
    Jeremy L.

    Well worth the drive from Binghamton. We were treated like kings by our server Roderick. He let us try the fries and sauce before we committed to getting in slathered all over our fries and chicken. He also let us sample all 3 of their own drinks. I recommend the Booty Sweat. The powdered sugar on the chicken works and makes the flavor a truly unique experience. Highly recommend the Donnie Freeman special and also the chicken cutlet with fries or pasta. I think this is my first 5 star rating!

    Everything I tried was delicious. The server that took my order was helpful with telling me about different sauces and options for the food I tried. I love the murals painted on the walls. I would definitely recommend it. The cajun pasta and hot teriyaki wings had nice spice to them but weren't too hot that they couldn't be enjoyed.

    Always so much flavor, great service and so so much food! Love it here and keep coming back. Crispy chicken and good spice!

    5 stars Had an amazing meal at Bigfellow's in Syracuse! The vibe is cozy and welcoming, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I had the Steak Frites--cooked perfectly, super flavorful, and the fries were crisp and golden. You can tell they care about quality here. Service was top-notch--friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. It's the kind of place you immediately want to come back to. Definitely one of my new go-to spots in Syracuse!

    Cajun Lamb Chop Pasta

    Terrible quality portion sizes. Paid almost $50 and received a malnourished baby lamb for my lamb chops. Owner responded to me on google review and didnt even apologize as you can see I'm receiving maybe enough lamb for a 4 year old. Go to pound town instead.

    This place earns 5 stars from me based on the deviled eggs alone. They were hands down the best…read moredeviled eggs I've ever had. As for the BBQ, the brisket was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The ribs were good as well, slightly on the tougher side than I prefer, but still very enjoyable. My favorite meat was the pork belly; it was incredibly tender and packed with great flavor. The sides were also delicious and complemented the meal well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely return to this location or try one of their other locations in the future.

Food came relatively quickly, and the waitress was just attentive enough that we didn't really have to look around for her, but not over-bearing. I am not a big fan of bbq, so I got fried haddock. It was so delicious! My family, who are big fans of bbq, said it was some of the best barbecue that they've had in the area. It's a little bit pricey, but overall worth it. The deviled eggs were also really tasty, and the cornbread is a sweet bread. There was a good amount of food, but I was one of the only people in my party to have leftovers to take home. My only complaint is that the mac&cheese did not have macaroni, and instead was a shell pasta (which really upset my sister haha). There is street parking, but there is also a lot across the road that you have to pay for before 5pm

    We've wanted to try this place for years, but it's never occurred to us during a Friday or…read moreSaturday, which are the only days they're open. Last Friday was one of those days we knew we needed to order out, but we were well on track to make a whole evening out of fretting over where to go. I don't know what it is, but sometimes absolutely nothing in the world sounds good. By some act of god, I remembered this place and our evening was saved. Their menu changes weekly, so we referred to their Facebook page for this week's options. I've only heard great things about them, so I had no question whatever we ordered would be good. No prices on their website, and money was definitely an issue on the eve of the St. Patrick's Day Parade, so we made kind of a flow chart in case pricing got crazy. Placing the order over the phone was difficult. They couldn't understand us, and they had to run every question by somebody else and get back to us. We ordered the jerk chicken and smothered pork combos, then threw in a pint of shrimp fried rice. I wish I could have tried everything; it was really tough coming to a decision. Cash only. I read so many reviews and everything they had online and didn't see this mentioned. Luckily I had just hit the ATM for the parade. The place is pretty small, take-out only. Easy parking, easy in and out. Everyone's super friendly. A lot of the appeal is how clearly they take pride in what they do. All around it just seems incredibly authentic and like nobody's cutting corners. So the food was great all around. We'd eaten garbage all week and were really going for that fresh, wholesome feeling, and they delivered in every way. The only hiccup was that they gave us Smothered Chicken (I think) instead of Smothered Pork. They labeled the box SP, but put the wrong thing in it. I was disappointed to see it because the pork was the first thing I knew for sure I wanted to get. Six seconds into the meal though, I truly didn't even care anymore. It was absolutely amazing. So tender it came right off the bone. It has to be the best I've ever felt about a chicken thigh entrée. I've only tried Jerk Chicken a few times, and mostly from a few Jamaican restaurants right here in town. I never really understood the point of it, like the taste just never amounted to anything I cared about. One bite of this one and it all made sense. Like, I now understand what they're going for with the flavor. Same perfectly tender chicken, and we absolutely loved the taste of both. We were curious about how the Shrimp Fried Rice would shake out with soul food, and it's definitely unique from Chinese takeout. Nowhere near as greasy, and it had a more savory, mildly smoky taste to it. No conflict with the beds of rice our entrées came on either. This wasn't our favorite fried rice, but it was good to have with our meals. My favorite side was the baked beans. Perfect texture, amazing taste. So soft and yet, so completely distinct. Didn't even know I could enjoy plain no-frills baked beans this much. The collard greens and yams were about average. I think for yams I'm used to a lot more butter and sugar than these ones had. Collard greens were just straightforward as well, no taste outside the greens themselves. Texture couldn't have been better though. Mac and cheese was good, but well past al dente. Super soft and didn't really pack enough flavor to make it top tier. The cornbread is standard issue - really soft and pretty dry with just the regular cornbread taste. I'd love to try some of the other things on the menu, but probably wouldn't for the price. There's nothing here I wouldn't be absolutely excited to have, but the experience wasn't profound enough to pull us back for $25 a plate.

I ordered the garlic rice and wings (bourbon sauce), mac and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. I was excited because I had read good things on this very site. However, I was a bit disappointed. The star of the meal was the garlic rice which was admittedly delicious- would certainly get this again. The wings were also okay. I would go with a different sauce next time, and for anyone wondering they are breaded wings. The mac and cheese was not good. Incredibly bland and not warm. Would not recommend. The fried green tomatoes weren't very crispy by the time I got them home and ate them, which is surprising because they ripped vent holes in the styrofoam container to combat this. Not inedible, just not very good. Overall was pretty disappointed with my experience, definitely willing to go back though, so hopefully it changes!
