Shining example of what I'd love for every diner across America to be. Hands down some of the best food I've had in months. So many options that it made it hard to choose, I will be back with friends and family to try more! This has great space to gather with friends and family with a wonderful staff that's attentive and so diligent in making sure you have a great experience. Make sure to call ahead or you might face a wait when you get here. However make sure you stick around no matter how long the wait I promise you it'll be worth it in the long run to get a taste of this little slice of paradise. read more

What you'd expect from a middle of the road diner. Staff was friendly, but clearly had no system other than "that food goes over there" for orders. Food is mediocre, nothing better than anyone with a stove could cook. Prices are fair. Appeals to the people with loud young children but still need to go out somewhere and older people who just want somewhere to eat. read more

Super cute local diner in a nice quiet location! We had the breakfast food and liked it a lot.

This is the place you want to go to with grandma and the whole fam damily!! All Homemade food, great menu, the most attentive service you'll EVER have in a restaurant....all in a relaxing atmosphere where your not rushed.... prices are comparable.....try it once.....certainly you'll want to go back...... read more

There's a reason why they win best diner in CNY year after year. The service is A++, I have never been to any restaurant where every member of the staff goes out of their way to make sure the customer has everything they want and need. Oh, the food is great too! read more

Good "home style" cooking. They stayed open and served takeout though this past year. We were all thankful they were able to surf through the storm. Unfortunately even before this year the prices have steadily increase since opening to the point we went from regulars to the occasional now only on a special occasion. We wish them luck. read more

We stopped in Friday for the first time (Definately not the last time) and we were very impressed by the Great Food, Great Friendly Atmosphere but the service was not great...It was amazing; our coffee cup was never empty and the wait staff and bussers were always there when you needed them...I give this Diner a 10 out of 10 raiting and believe me, my wife and I have traveled all over the East coast exploring different diners and Finally Ours was by far the BEST EVER :-) read more

Never disappoints. We have been getting their food for take out since the pandemic started and have always been a big fan of their food in person before hand. Either way, the food is so tasty. When you are in person, you are always being taken care of no matter how busy it gets. read more

Not familiar with the Syracuse area, we relied on Yelp to find us a breakfast spot. We were not disappointed. There was a long line to get in but we were immediately able to sit at the counter and received great service. All of the staff was very friendly and happy which in my opinion is a reflection of a good establishment. I definitely recommend the kielbasa! read more

I tried this place again for breakfast today. This place is still freezing in the middle of summer. You will need a hoodie to be comfortable in here...we had one of the owners as our waitress, she was not attentive at all...she never even took our order, another employee who was working came over and took it as we were waiting for awhile. The food came out...it was cold. The owner/waitress came over and placed bill on table as we were putting our first mouthfuls of food in. She was never back. When I paid at the register, I had to ask for a takeout box. I love to support local businesses...however, I won't be back to this place again...0 for 2 for me. read more

Fast, delicious, great service, decent value. The lot was full so we had to park in overflow across the street, but we still sat fast and got coffee. Blueberry pancakes, frittata big portions and delicious. Garbage plate was good but - I can't believe I'm saying this - too much sausage gravy (!). Great service. I wish I lived closer. read more

Long overdue but visited 2 weeks ago with a great friend. By far the best breakfast we have had. The portions are huge and everything was cooked perfectly as we requested. The staff was the most accommodating and friendly. The owner was very kind and took the time to talk to us. If there were more than a 5 star rating, this place deserves it. Can't wait to go back again. Thank You for offering good homemade food with a good atmosphere. Thank you to the waitstaff. You are great. Jeanne & Dar read more

I ate about half of my dish then I found a hair in it which sucked, but besides the hair I'd say the food was actually pretty good, I would've gone back but once you find something in you're food it kinda ruins it :-/ read more

Great service, good food , and fabulous people that run this popular dining addition to the neighborhood!

Finally Ours is an out-of-the-way breakfast joint with a sweet story. And it is clearly run by a couple experienced in the restaurant industry. The decor mixes vintage and modern somehow successfully & for such a busy breakfast spot, they have a real handle on the traffic. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the portions are huge, though I think this comes with a bit of a trade-off as the actual food is average diner fare. I've tried both the sausage gravy and the western omelette and both were unremarkable. My kids had the French toast, which was better. Coffee is also average. Still, the service is unbeatable and is very much appreciated when hauling three hungry children. Looking forward to returning with them soon. read more

I never bother to review diners. Other than one greasy spoon having better potatoes than the other greasy spoon they are all pretty much the same in my opinion. But after having breakfast here there are some things that I noticed that felt it was worthy of a review. Upon arriving, the place was absolutely packed. I said to myself "oh cool, can't wait for poor service and poor tasting food because of how frantic they will be" ) which is usually the case at most food establishments when hectic). As we were waiting I noticed they were doing a pretty impressive job keeping the traffic flowing. Tackling the tables immediately after a person was done eating, prepping and immediately calling out next on the list. Wait was WAY less than I was expecting. Next up was food service. Waitress was friendly and kind and engaged in conversation amidst all the running around as well as managing to check our coffee level frequently. Again this was all that more impressive because of the amount of patron activity that was going on. Then the food... I was paying attention to everyone's food coming out while waiting for ours. I was quite impressed on how well the presentation remained through the hectic workload the cooks had. My omelet was perfect. The cheese wasn't oozing out everywhere and the omelette was large but not annoyingly fluffy. Potato's were great as well. Another very important thing I noticed was how clean their food was. Which tells me they are very strict on keeping the grill clean. I have been to diners where half the people's meal remnants are mixed in your potato's and eggs. All in all it was a great experience. Probably more because I was expecting a typical meal that I'm used to from a diner read more

Got sick on their food. All I ordered was salt potatoes. They were under cooked and hard. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't butter. Plus they charged $3 + tax for 4 salt potatoes, AND over-charged the tax, for a total cost of $3.25. I live down the street and can't figure out why this place is so busy. This was my 3rd visit there, and my last. I think the folks that think this is a good diner, never experienced a truly good diner. read more

I'm writing this for my mother Marilyn. My daughter takes her to lunch or brunch after their monthly trip to the eye doctor. Mom has a difficult time expressing herself most days but she had no problem today. She told me the cinnamon raisin toast was just delicious and it was the best coffee she ever tasted. My daughter conferred on the coffee. They had a very enjoyable time and I encourage others to give you a try. Thanks read more

Great place and greater service. Brunch was fantastic. Pork chop & eggs was perfectly done. I am so coffee out because they make sure your cup is alway filled...THAT is just fine for me. Will be back, surely. read more

Again and agai. I just love this place! They beat me with the garbage plate. I had to brimg a good portion home . Im a big man and i can eat but they hit you with a ton of food and its consistent! It always tasts the same and its always the same amount. We got cake to take home and ot tlok us 2 days tl finish the pieces! The owner walks arlund like every ones m checking to see that ylu are eatting and to see that you are enjoying your food. Best diner out there! read more

Easily one the best diners in the Syracuse area. We had to wait a bit, but Sunday brunch is popular in this city. I had the breakfast garbage plate which is country fried steak served on a bed of hash browns and biscuits, topped with breakfast gravy and eggs! Hearty and delicious. Certainly, not a meal for everyday, but a great breakfast! We will return, but probably earlier to avoid a wait. read more

I've eaten breakfast here regularly since they opened and I love it, but my sister and my Pop like lunch hours better. My god the chicken Caesar salad had TWO chicken breasts on it! And it was as big as your head! My pop got breakfast at lunchtime, which he loves. Happy people all around. Dave and Lisa were hustling as usual with Dave balancing 4-6 plates from his hands to his guns. And Lisa still took a moment to say hi to newcomers, ask how the good was, and even meet my sister. 5 star joint for sure. read more

This the second Time I go there and I order pancakes. In pancakes are onions potatoes spinach, they must use the same grill to cook everything! My sister ordered a parfait and in the parfait were eggs inside the yogurt. It'sabsolutely disgusting. It was 90 Degrees outside they had no air-conditioning just industrial fans you couldn't hear yourself talk over them. Very dirty and smells like a nursing home. read more

Let's start with the positives, this place is clean and very cute, and the coffee is excellent! The negatives are one cup of coffee then your left waiting and waiting for coffee and after asking twice for a refill I got the eye roll from the waitress.. the food had no flavor and the toast was cold and soggy and let's not forget the fact that they forgot one order of toast. The frittata lacked fresh flavor and the corned beef hash was inedible... my dog did like it though.. I would much rather have fresh vegetable and pay more for my food verses using frozen product to make a Frittata with. It's not the size of the portion it's how it tastes and in my opinion the food is flavorless and and the service sucks! read more

Can't beat it for diner aficionados. Diner dining at it's best. Counter, tables and booths. Staff is great and food is plentiful at reasonable prices. If you order their full Frittata, plan on having enough left over for two more meals. Take home boxes are available so don't be shy. For those who love ham and eggs, you will not be disappointed with their ham steak. Eggs are from a local farm so always fresh. Corned Beef Hash is homemade, no cans here! Their homemade cakes are on the counter to crave over... better get a slice to go. And don't forget to say hello to Charlie! read more

Love it here. Food is great, service is great and we've never had a bad experience. Love their stuffed savory French toast, it has become a favorite of mine. read more

Finally got to park. And had my first hot eggs of the day, I eat a couple breakfasts periodically throughout the day. I do t like my eggs to taste like velvet. Someone told me they did so I tried it in France. These eggs are better than French velvet eggs. read more

Super good food!! Very busy but the wait time was less than 15 minutes. Waiters were very fast and efficient. Tables (and chairs) were cleaned well. The veggie omelet was amazing!! (P.S.: if you order fresh fruit on the side they bring you a cup of blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries, and the fruit is super good and fresh!!) read more

Members of our Hockey team just has a great meal of breakfast and lunch entrees with extra special service from the owner who got us through on time to make the championship game. The portions are great and everything tasted even greater. We had thumbs up on garbage plate breakfasts, omelettes made to order, reubens, burgers, frittatas, chicken tenders, spaghetti and more!! Wish we had had time for the homemade desserts -- next Time! read more

I am a huge fan of their stuffed French toast. Never been disappointed here. Reasonable prices for the portions. They are also handling covid very well with decent outdoor seating! read more

Best breakfast joint in the western neighborhoods and possibly CNY. There is usually a line at the door and short wait, but that's because it's good! read more

My husband has been to Finally Ours 3 times. I have only been there once and it was very good. Today we both had the day off and figured we would order lunch and pick it up. My husband got the chicken melt and he loved it. I purchased the sandwich on the run, roast beef. I was sososo disappointed. The bread was stale. I picked the crust off all the way around it was so hard. The chips that came with it were stale as well. There was plenty of meat on the sandwich; which was great. Very disappointed. Hoping it was just a bad day. read more

My family and I returned to CNY for a family reunion. In the few days we were there, we ate at Finally Ours a couple times. The food and service were both outstanding. The team works together like a fine tuned machine, the food is delicious and the portions, more than generous. My favorite was the fresh fruit cup/bowl filled with perfect strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries - all fresh. Can hardly wait to return. read more

The food was very very good. Big servings and good service. As we were half way through our meal we were asked if we needed to-go boxes! Then soon after they handed us our check. When we were finally almost ready to get up, two people were hovering next to our table waiting for us to leave. Before we had all of our things off the table they began to clean the table and wish us a good rest of our day. We felt as we were being pushed out of the diner the whole time it was very upsetting! read more

Great food ,great owners, excellent service very pleasant atmoshpere, fine here often even though it is miles out of the way
