I will preface this by saying I'm from Philadelphia and ordering something called a Philly steak and cheese outside of the city limits is akin to blasphemy. So don't tell anyone ;) But I won't judge that sandwich against the Philly examples. I'll judge it on individual merits. And on its own merit, it was a very tasty sandwich. On top of that my wife's grilled cheese absolutely looked legit. I appreciate the fact that a small place like this takes pride in the food they put out. And judging by how busy it was at 7:30 on a Thursday night, the locals know it too. If I'm ever back in Syracuse, I'll stop back.

This place definitely gives me bodega vibes, and overall, I had a good experience--but I've had two…read morevery different visits. The first time I went was during the lunch rush, and honestly, it was amazing. Before I was even fully inside, the staff greeted me, asked if it was my first time, offered me samples, walked me through the menu, and gave recommendations based on what they personally liked and what they thought I'd enjoy. They even explained which sauces paired best with different items. The energy in the restaurant was so upbeat and welcoming, even though they were incredibly busy. They treated every customer that way, and it really made me feel like they value both their employees and their customers. That positive atmosphere definitely stood out. On top of that, the food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I left thinking, "I'm definitely coming back." My second visit was around the start of the dinner rush, around 6:00-6:30 p.m., and it was a completely different experience. The staff was still kind and polite, but the energy just wasn't the same. It felt much quieter and less engaging than my first visit. I also paid for extra sauce because I remembered wanting more the first time and having to pay for it, but my meal came without any sauce on the food--it was only on the side. When I asked about it, they had no problem fixing it and were very friendly about it, which I appreciated but it just seemed odd that the first time my food was made with sauce included. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't taste quite as good as it did during my first visit. I haven't tried any of the desserts yet, but they looked incredible. The cake slices are HUGE--I honestly think one slice could easily be shared between two or even three people. At around $7.99, I think they're reasonably priced considering the portion size. Overall, I also found the menu prices to be fair, and there's a great variety of options to choose from. Because my experiences were so different, I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. If my second visit had matched my first, this easily would have been a five-star review. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll probably stick to going during lunch since that first experience was so memorable. For anyone wondering what I ordered, I got the chicken and lamb halal over rice. It came with onions, tomatoes, and a few other toppings (I don't eat onions, so I can't remember everything that was included), along with a piece of naan bread. During my first visit, I couldn't decide between breakfast and lunch, and the staff recommended I try the rice platter--and I'm so glad they did because it was delicious. I still couldn't resist ordering a side of French toast, though, and that was a great choice too! Everything was generously portioned, and I left full both times with left overs. I do believe they told me they serve breakfast all day as well.

The eggs were egg-cellent (such a dad joke I know but they were tasty!), the steak was cooked literally exactly how I wanted it!!! The hash browns were crispy and perfectly done. I am such a sucker for rye bread, so of course their rye toast was delectable with butter. Honestly, this is such an iconic place to go in B-ville. I would eat here when I was in college and needed to take a break from studying across the street at the library. Their standards are just as good, if not better, now!

Menu is filled with options which made it hard to pick what to order which is an awesome "problem" to have, we all ordered breakfast and were not disappointed! I decided on the pancake/french toast flight and picked three flavors. I chose Cannoli French Toast, Reese's Pieces pancakes, and the loaded pancakes for a savory item. Cannoli was my favorite but they were all good, loaded even has an egg on top however you like it!Portion size is huge and everything tasted great!!!! They had a good challenge listed on the menu but none of us were up to the challenge! Service is amazing, and they even have a waitress warming up coffee, which I highly appreciate at places. The diner is busy but it was not too loud to hear your party and everything ran so smooth. All the servers were nice and seemed happy to work there! Menu price was shown using your card, they had a cash discount available if using cash which is a nice option! I wish I took pictures or everyone else's food but didn't. The drink options seemed amazing with make your own flights or their specials. The next time I am in the Syracuse area I will be going here to try more! Don't be afraid of the busy parking lot or wait time, it's worth it!! Also reading about the name and reason for this diner made me feel all the feels for the owners recovery, how can you NOT support a place like this??!! We will be back and can't wait to try more off their menu.

It's a restaurant/ bar so they have a pretty broad menu. I did check out their menu online before heading there and they have a lot to pick from. The venue is a smaller joint. The bar was packed with patrons. We were sat in the dining area. The way they initially had the tables set up for us didn't really work. It was an awkward set up. After our server realized that they seating arrangement was a flop, she added another table to give us some more elbow room. Dinner was finally ordered and we had fresh bread to work on. They were nice and. I appreciate all the butter they gave us with the rolls. Of course we will have bread with our butter. For dinner my husband and I shared the Italian platter. It came with quite a few things. Chicken parmesan, fettuccine, ravioli and lasagna. It sounded perfect, a little bit of everything! For our side we got a side salad with blue cheese. The salad was ok. Your generic bagged salad from your local food distributor. Nothing but the salad mix and 1 cherry tomato. The blue cheese dressing was different. I had a couple bites and I was over it. Our Italian plate looked fabulous! Lots of sauce on everything. The fettuccine was creamy and thick. The noodles were cooked nicely. I wish I would have liked the marinara sauce that they used for the ravioli, chicken parm and lasagna. There was something off about the sauce that I didn't really care for. I ate a couple bites of everything and was done. The sauce was not my favorite. Our server did a decent job. I know she was handling a couple other tables so she was busy. You can tell she'd forget something but will remember and drop off the soda, extra plate or silverware. I'm happy we got to eat here tonight for dinner so we could see family. Service was nice. The food just didn't hit for me. It's cool I'll get to tell people that I ate at a Liverpool landmark.
