    Charlie's Giambotta (with rye toast)
    David P.

    Very nice breakfast at Charlie's Place this morning. Sue was very friendly and efficient handling the orders and refilling coffee frequently. Ordered the Giambotta and the Mountain. Both were very good filling. Highly recommend this quaint local spot.

    Small mom and pop shop, very local locals. The mushroom omelette was good but the used canned mushrooms. Reasonably priced. Nothing special here. Service was good.

    Eggs Rosario - Eggs Benedict over spinach on an English muffin with a side of crispy hash brown.

    Quiet and cozy diner for a comforting simple breakfast on a dreary morning. I got the Eggs Rosario because I had heard my sister-in-law's dad had a dish named after him. I had to stop by and try it out. The hollandaise sauce was creamy and perfectly lemony. It paired well with the spinach. I was most worried about how the poached eggs would come out, but they were just right. Beautifully set egg whites with a runny delicately encased yolk. I have yet to have a single bad experience whenever I've eaten at Charlie's. I am always satisfied with each meal had and would recommend if asked.

    Complete Breakfast - two eggs over easy, toast, hash brown, and bacon

    Came here for breakfast to catch up with people Pros: - Cute place around the area - there are quotes all over the place - Feels very homey Cons: - Got the complete breakfast for around $11 - everything was extremely bland, the toast and hash brown were burnt - Didn't receive a friendly vibe from our server - looked very annoyed

    The mountain is terrific!!!

    Great service, good food and we will be back!! Thanks this was our first time and will not be our last. This is worth a try!

    Enjoy

    What a great little place really cute diner style roadside coffee breakfast and lunch awesome people very friendly very talkative very very very delicious breakfast Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream the best ever you have to go there And enjoy the food

    Nothing extraordinary about it. It's a decent place don't get me wrong. Good breakfast food, good and friendly atmosphere. But there are better, similar restaurants in the area. Their omelets and potato hash were good, but the pancake unfortunately weren't. They were overcooked, and I barely had 2 bites of it.

    The Cinnamon french toast is great!

    If you're looking for a great diner with a hometown feel this is your place. Disregard it's quaint presence on the outside because their service is extremely fast, the wait staff is quite friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are fair. It has the feel of getting a home cooked meal and you can roll in with whatever clothes you happen to be wearing and not feel out I place. I love this diner!

    Breakfast AND lunch are always delicious!

    Last time I was there breakfast was served cold, and instead of cream cheese I was served a moldy cup of sour cream. I won't be back.

    I've sat on this review for a week trying to decide if I wanted to share a not-so-flattering…read moreexperience. However, if there is a chance that Swifty's management may read this, along with fellow diners, it may be helpful for the future. The overall experience, food, and service was good. Clearly, this place and its 2 sister locations know how to be successful. But what we experienced could either be because a rogue chef or location manager is trying to cut corners - or - it could be the philosophy of the company to try and nickel-and-dime the customer to reduce costs and take advantage of those who won't notice. My boys and I ordered 20 wings to start, my oldest had a burger to follow, and my younger really wanted to focus on wings, so only ordered fries. I had the. Cheeseburger wrap with onion rings and coleslaw. Wings: crispy, tasty, and really good blue cheese. BUT...when they came to the table, the baskets looked light. So... WE COUNTED THEM. ONLY 17. My (as the menu clearly states) "half pound burger in a wrap" was probably 1/4 of a pound light. Wait til you see the photo. So, all the good service and reasonably good food was ruined by Swifty's trying to either take advantage of customers incrementally hundreds of times a day (order by order) - or - they have a location chef and manager who tolerate food leaving their kitchen that is not as advertised or up to the standard which allowed them to open 3 locations. It's one or the other. Will we be back? I don't know. We really wanted this to be great. We live in the Northwest Corner of CT, my son goes to college in Rochester, this location is literally (to the mile) half-way between. We make the trip weekly due to his athletics schedule. We wanted to be regulars. Will probably look elsewhere next time. 2 stars for the front of the house service. It was excellent. And the blue cheese dressing. It was fantastic. If you go - count your wings and make sure what the menu says is on your plate.

Restaurant was busy at this visit and staffed seemed overwhelmed as we had to go back up as our order/bill was not correct and dining area needed a little TLC. My other favorite thing is their soda machine's with all the different flavors. Great place for a quick bite

Once again, I was impressed and not at all disappointed as the to-go food was equally as scrumptious as previous meals. Of course I ordered Utica's Best Chicken Riggies! I paired this with a cup of Chic-O-Rina soup. I exchanged the olives for extra mushrooms. My cousin ordered the same but had hers prepared the normal way and paired with a side salad. We also requested bread which was accompanied by delicious whipped butter with herbs. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful allowing for leftovers. Our meals were bagged and ready upon arrival. I highly recommend Carmella's and specifically, the chicken riggies!

The prices are quite high on many of the items, and not everything is of the best quality or taste. I had the herb grilled chicken breast, which was quite dry. In fact, the best part was the entire broccoli crown I had on the side. While I might normally give this restaurant 4 stars, I bumped it down to 3 because for a restaurant that is as popular as this one and has been around for quite some time, there are not nearly enough parking spots, and some people in our party of 6 had to park in a different restaurant parking lot and walk over.
