Our waiter was Levi, but we spoke to several of the waiters. They were all so kind and we were amazed to learn there are The Yellow Deli across several states and countries. Don't miss this place in Oneonta ! It's more than worth the short drive off the interstate. #wewillbeback

Put it this way... the food at Yellow Deli was very delicious, we ate it for lunch and dinner. We…read moredined at the Oneonta location, which was quiet and clean. The service was great dining in, and they are open on certain days until 3am. Dine out, however, must be done in person at this location. Phone orders are not allowed. This was a bit of an inconvenience, and I waited 35 minutes for our complete order. Overall, I would return and dine in at the Yellow Deli in Oneonta. The carrot cake and cream cake with blueberry topping is a must!!!!

A party of 4, having made reservations, we went on Valentines Day (evening). We weren't informed…read morethat they had a different, much smaller menu with no provision to order from the normal menu. Three of the four meals were fine. Unfortunately my husband order the 10oz NY strip (an eye popping $28!) He thought he was playing it safe by ordering it medium. When the waitress brought his meal out she said she was waiting for him to cut into the steak to make sure it was to his order. Good thing because it was the rarest piece of meat we'd ever seen! Raw inside! She took the steak back and had them put it back on the grill (her words). Unfortunately when it came back out nearly 20 minutes later after the rest of us had already started, it was still barely medium rare! She offered to take it back and put it back on the grill (again!) but he was so frustrated he told her to leave it and he'd take it home and cook it himself. Sadly after cooking the next evening the majority of the meat was either fat or gristle so the 10oz steak ended up to be about 3oz of edible meat! We've been to other restaurants where an entree has been l poorly cooked, etc. and in each case the restaurant has always comped the meal. The salt in the wound was the waitress only offered to comp our dessert (just my husband and I!) Instead of rightfully comping the $28 meal they comped a $4 dessert. Our experience wasn't bad enough to keep us from going back but we'd definitely recommend to the restaurant that, if they're using a special menu they should've made sure to advertise that or let us know when we made reservations. Additionally, in an obvious screw up like this, always comp the meal!

4&1/2...WING FOCUSED REVIEW...2 of 2 transcendent chicken experiences I was lucky to have on the…read moresame day on my recent trip through Oneonta, where I had attended college for my first 2 years some 20-some years ago. When doing some recon through town I inquired to a local about where I could find the best wings and he immediately named this spot. This jogged my memory back to my college days and the fact it was similarly known at the time. as well as that it was just a little removed both physically and culturally from the college scene and more of a strictly locals place. I took said locals advice and stopped on over and before even entering the place I was very glad I did. My eyes lit up at the awesome converted old train depot setting from which it gets it name. Inside was a welcoming warmly lit interior centered around a handsome old bar which I sidled on up to. My stomach still quite full from my feast at Brooks House of BBQ that afternoon I just ordered my drink and a single order of wings in the house specialty "garbage sauce" an umami rich amaglamation of various sauces and they were nothing short of magnificent. Perfectly proportioned and flavorful crisp on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. A delicious reminder of how much better in general wings are upstate than back home in the City. I savored every bite. The meal was made all the more enjoyable by striking up an enjoyably meandering with a gregarious Vietnam vet proud grandpa seated beside me and were both well served and treated by the lovely bartender. Much of the other food I saw being brought out looked quite tasty as well but what really caught my eye was the super thick square cut pizza, which seemed to be on most every table. It seems to be a relative of both the nearby regional vartieties of the Old-Forge style pizza found across the PA border near Scranton, and the "Hot Pie" of the greater Binghamton/Tri-Cities area even closer afield. More than enough to spark some serious intrigue in a pizza freak like myself and a top priority for me to order when I hopefully get another chance to visit here, of course alongside another order of those incredible wings.

This is a bar and grill in the downtown area. Parking can be difficult but it looks like if you…read moreknow the area there is a lot of public parking. The menu is very diverse and I had a hard time deciding. After asking the server way to many questions I chose the Mongolian BBQ bowl. She told me it would be VERY spicy. That was fine with me. This came in a big bowl with chili pepper and Sriracha sauce. It had a good kick to it and my mouth knew the spice was there but I thought it was milder that I expected. The chicken was grilled and had an amazing flavor. It had the fat noodles, i am not sure what they are called but they were good. It was served in a broth but all the broth was soaked up before I was finished. Service was great and the food was amazing. This was awesome

Once we got there we discovered that they didn't have the vegetarian selections that their Yelp menus had listed.

We started with the Fries with gravy - hard to mess that up, and it was quite good. For entrees, The Famous Hot Open Veggie and Classic Reubens Tempeh were outstanding. Extremely flavorful (especially the open veggie). You would think they were a strictly vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Prices, including the bar tab were very reasonable.
