Absolutely one of the best diners around; and this coming from a Jersey girl. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. The coffee refills were rapid fire, and the food delivered hot and fresh. I had one huge fluffy pancake with eggs and crispy bacon. The menu has many sizes of breakfasts designed to fit every appetite. I also had an Irish coffee sans booze that was a work of art. I was with a group of eleven and they had our table set up for us in minutes. My friend ordered a half frittata that was big enough to serve four. She will eat it for days. Great place for a few or a large group. read more

We went to Finally Ours for a special New Years Day breakfast. When we were sat, we were immediately asked our drink order (love!!). We requested coffee, and the server asked if we would like to try their flavored coffee. We ABSOLUTELY did, the flavors of the day were buttered rum and gingerbread mocha. YOU MUST TRY THEM! Not only are they delicious, but they are also works of art! They made our breakfast extra special. We ordered the Belgian waffle combo, and a build your own omelette. They were excellent - and huge portions! The service was prompt, and everyone makes you feel like an old friend stopping in. We love this place, and always look forward to our next visit. read more

Finally Ours is the place to go for all of your brunch needs! There is something for everyone in the large menu of breakfast and lunch favorites. My go to meal is the delicious chicken caesar salad! If you are getting a breakfast item and would like a side of potatoes, definitely try Nana's potatoes, nice thinly sliced and slightly crispy. Lisa is wonderful and always welcoming to her restaurant. Try and get there early to avoid the lines! read more

Finally Ours - Breakfast garbage plate!! - Diners Near Me - Syracuse, New York

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Food, ambiance and service hit all the high points. It was not too busy when I was seated but by the time I left it was getting crowded, with the brunch - early lunch group. You don't just have one server, everyone working on the floor will check in with you to make sure you are taken care of. I've had many meals here but never the corned beef hash. I've been reading great reviews about the hash so I ordered it with 2 eggs over easy and rye toast. You get a choice of bell peppers or no Bell peppers. I had them added in and it was a good choice. The hash was incredibly flavorful, I liked very much that the corned beef and potatoes were cut small. I only added pepper to my eggs and everything was perfect. read more

Had heard tons of great things about this place and had to check it out ourselves! Huge menu selection and food portions were massive. Tons of specialty items on the additional TV menu as well. Service was great, continuous check ins by various waiters with coffee and to see if we needed anything else. Food came to us within 5-10 minutes of ordering and our choices were delicious! Great place for families and large parties. read more

The food is excellent. The service is excellent. BUT....something I really disliked...being from England, the rudest thing that occurs in a restaurant is the bill slapped on the table with the food..ie, eat and get out asap....it would NEVER EVER happen in the UK. Made more obvious by people coming round with boxes and bags for your leftovers so you'll leave..this kind of financial greed is unacceptable. Four of us oldies who hadn't seen each other in a while wanted to enjoy our after breakfast coffee but were basically hustled out..."need a box?...need a bag?" Subtle as a bulldozer... Business is always good there so for a few extra $s, why antagonise and estrange good customers. Oh well...it's America and that's the crude and rude way of life here. Manners and sublety simply don't exist.... read more

I was quite shocked when I arrived here. The parking lot was full but the wait time was very reasonable. I was very impressed with the service. Our waitress was very attentive. I ordered the chicken fried steak with home fries and a side of french toast. I felt my home fries were a bit overcooked and flavorless. Everything else I sampled here was just okay. Nothing to rave about. They do serve big portions so you won't leave here hungry. read more

My wife and I ate here maybe a year ago (+/-) and just had breakfast with our daughter and son-in-law (who said they have wanted to try but life gets in the way... we all enjoyed a great meal to say the least and will continue to send people their way whenever the opportunity presents itself. Being the only slight downside (and I'm mean nothing negative) has been the wait from being seated (which both times has been quite prompt) to being our way again. We'll worth the time spent when you get your order (and go umm), pay the tab (box what you couldn't finish to go), and get back on the road. All in all, nice clean, comfortable and friendly place to dine. read more

The best service ever! Everyone pitches in (even the owners, Lisa and Dave) to make this business run smoothly. Even though it's a lot of work, they always act like it's not. Friendliest service and great food and the quantity is enough for 2 or 3 meals! Prices are comparable to other places. read more

If you are looking for warm service , generous portions and food thats taste like it was made at home , look no further than here. I had a fish dinner on Friday , it tasted amazing, quick service and great ambience read more

First time trying this place.......WOW!!!!! First, the service......never seen such GREAT service in a restaurant so far this year. Very attentive, your drink will never be empty, the way they have there staff set up works like a well oiled machine. Second the food......OMG!!! I got the Utica greens and pork belly omelet, savory, hot temp when it came out (doesn't always happen nowadays) the flavors were above and beyond. Also good luck on finishing anything here as the portions are incredible!! Wife got a sausage , bacon, and feta omelet with cinnamon toast bread. Again the size, the flavors are amazing! The cinnamon toast French bread tastes homemade as it was huge and literally had a half inch swirl of cinnamon running thru it!!! THIS IS A MUST TRY BREAKFAST DESTINATION, and we can't wait to come back!!! read more

I loved it here. It was a little out of the way and the parking lot(s) were full, so I was a little discouraged at first, but we found a spot when someone left and only had to wait 10 minutes to be seated on a busy Sunday early afternoon. I'm imprsssd by the size of the place. A lot of these breakfast/brunch diners don't have sufficient seating for the crowds they draw, but that wasn't the case here. I was also impressed by the staff. From the flow of the bus boys to waitresses and waiters, all were great. They ensured we always had a full cup of coffee. The menu is great and has all the classics, but check out the specials on the board. There doing some good stuff here and they're executing it very well. My husband had the flank steak omelet, which was huge and tasted great. The perfect blend of quality and quality. I had a Belgian waffle, nanas potato's, eggs, and a Belgian waffle. Our friends had eggs Benedict and cinnamon roll French toast. Everyone was really impressed and left satisfied. Before we left we grabbed a slice of chocolate cream pie (excellent) and chocolate chip cookie dough cake (amazing). All in all, I loved it, I will be back, and whenever I think about going out to breakfast this is where I'll be headed. read more

I've been coming here since they opened and I had my first bad meal there. I talked to the owner and I complained about the meal that my guest wouldn't eat It was burnt, brown (eggs), super salty, dry and it tasted like the oil was old. The oil tasted old in my meal too (home fries). She tried to defend the food and made it seem like I was a problem customer- I have been coming here and enjoying meals since they opened. It is what it was- a bad meal and instead of admitting that she tried to say that's how it normally is. We won't be back. It used to be good, not so much anymore I guess. read more

We come here every Sunday after church and it's always packed, understandably so! Finally our's is so wonderful with customer that they should host a class! We are overwhelmingly impressed by the staff every single weekend! Also wonderful food of course and giant portions! read more

It's easy to see why the parking lot is packed! Great dinner with an easy drive from Skaneateles. We must have hit this in the sweet spot at 12:45 on Saturday because our wait was minimal. Once seated the staff was VERY attentive to our needs, they never missed a beat. The color palette of the interior could be brighter and more upbeat but, for what (in my opinion) it lacks there is made up by the food & service! Portions were large, worth the price & of dinner quality. Honestly, The Finally Ours Dinner doesn't require my opinion because the reviews all say the same thing, it's a definite Must Stop! 4 's easy read more

Ordered one of their specialty salads the presentation was nice however, eating the salad posed a challenge. They didn't remove any of the hard tough pieces in the lettuce, aka the core/ stem. Took me about 10 mins to remove it all prior to eating the salad. When I commited on the salad having too much core, the waiter didn't seem to care. Will not be returning. read more

We have eaten there many times, and it is always good! They also have a great level of service!

This is an AWESOME diner. The crowd, staff, food and owner are spectacular. The staff is a GREAT team, helping each other and making sure the customers are happy and well taken care of. The owner is right in the mix, working just as hard. It's great to see the work ethic, hospitality and commitment to making sure it's an experience and not just a restaurant. read more

This place was great! I had a really good BLT, and they gave me a generous side of fries. The service was lovely too. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm in Syracuse. read more

We went for brunch after reading a food critic review. My husband had the country fried steak, and I had the garbage plate. From the time we ordered to the time our meals were delivered, was an astonishing 9 MINUTES. Everything was hot, the country fried steak was tender enough to cut with just a fork, home fries were seasoned perfectly, hash browns were cooked just right, not soggy. The biscuits that came with the garbage plate are literally melt in your mouth delicious. Now...about the staff. What a well organized staff. They are very attentive, the bussers can clear, clean and seat new customers in less than 30 seconds. Our waitress checked on us several times during our meal. The table had mini flavored coffee creamers, several flavors of mini jam packets, which was a wonderful surprise. The parking lot looked packed, but we were seated within 30 seconds of us walking in the door. We will be back to try their other fabulous meals.​ read more

Food was delicious! Service great, ambiance was busy. I can't believe how many people they could serve. Egg frittata was so much food. Had enough for the next day. read more

Service was good, not crazy about the eggs Benny had better My husband had the hash- terrible Not sure to even try the lunch menu read more

Always busy. Always good service and great food. It's a big restaurant with two large rooms. During weekend breakfast hours they both are generally full but we typically find the wait time to be minimal. We've eaten here for lunch and breakfast and the food and service are always consistent. The owners are usually onsite and very much in the mix of things which is probably a key to their success. read more

Amazing Food and Amazing Service. It's a very busy diner, there will be a wait just to give you a heads up. There's usually space at the counter. The wait is worth it. The food is amazing. I ordered the 1/2 Frittata and it's delicious and huge. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is a great breakfast place! The owners have been in the restaurant industry for years and opened this spot after years of working for other restaurants. I love coming here for breakfast. The portions are huge and there menu has a lot of options for breakfast. It's always very busy here, but you'll be seated very quickly. They have a large seating area. I love their coffee, fresh OJ, omelettes and hash browns. Their food is freshly made and is always delicious. I can't wait to come back here for breakfast again soon. read more

The food was awesome and the service was equally awesome. The price was right and the portions was more than enough.

When we hit CNY to visit relatives we go here for breakfast. Queer-o-meter 10 for staff. Bravo! One of the owners is out there on the floor taking orders and keeping this place hopping. She's fab friendly and fast paced without making you feel anxiety stricken. She's happy to answer questions or help decide. Hit this place up when you can. Cheers! read more

Food always hot and fresh. We make a special trip here every few weeks for their house made cinnamon raisin bread. House made corn beef hash hits the spot every time. One of our favorite breakfast places. read more

My wife's brother and sister both said this was a really good place to eat, so we stopped while in the area. The atmosphere is pleasant, the place is clean and neat and the staff is attentive. The menu is loaded with great choices. You get a nice size portion for the price, which is not unreasonable if you know what going out to eat costs these days. The food is excellent. I hate paying for a meal that I can do better myself, and I couldn't out do this. read more

Great food, great service! The owners are awesome...our favorite diner in the area! Go there regularly

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We had a party of 20 this morning, and EVERYTHING went without a hitch. Withing a couple minutes of being seated, drink orders were taken and served. Not one time did anyone at our table wait for a drink or coffee refill. With such a large party, there were multiple staffers taking orders, and not only did they get it all right, but all the food came out at the same time. The menu at Finally Ours is pretty extensive, along with a special board. There were so many fantastic choices between their breakfast and lunch items. I heard zero complaints from anyone in our party. The diner is really well decorated for the holiday season, including a 6' singing Grinch. We really had a WONDERFUL time at Finally Ours, and I can not wait to go back. If you have never been, I highly recommend giving the folks at Finally Ours a shot at making your day better with a great meal and fast friendly service. read more

Good food. Large portions. Great staff. Lots of choices. Was my mother's favorite restaurant. read more

Food is very good and reasonably priced considering how much you get. Most always bring leftovers home. Your coffee cup never gets empty, waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. Hardly ever go there when there isn't a crowd, but you get seated fairly quickly, my only complaint is that the place is quite noisy, but I guess that's to be expected in a popular restaurant. Highly recommend trying this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

So impressed, the parking lot was full, their was a 20 Minute wait time, and I know exactly why. Food portions were huge for the prices, service was amazing and so speedy. The inside is decorated gorgeous as well as the outside. Very festive for the holiday season. Great kids menu selections and the beverage cups are HUGE! Overall I would give this place a 10 out of 10! read more

It's been about a year since we ate there, it was excellent then. We went there again Saturday and it was terrible, food quality and quantity is half of what it was. Then the prices went up and they put a notice on the table blaming the customer for using to many condiments or taking them home. They ruined a good thing, and we will never go back. read more

A full service breakfast/ lunch menu. This place is a class act. We have eaten here multiple times. Food is classic diner flavors, generous portions and fast, friendly service.
