    interesting. The dining room has an old fashioned rustic look, but the kitchen looks modern.
    Joe H.

    Great food, good service, good prices and specials Seniors discounts Cash only but there's and ATM (probably charges a fee) But you're really should've figured out that It's almost necessary to carry cash around these days- im seeing more and more businesses either have a surcharge or don't take credit/debit cards at all. There is no tax because it is on the reservation

    A lovely inviting space. Plenty of seating and a counter too.

    Everything from Firekeepers is delicious. All homemade. The service is excellent and friendly. Dinner came fast. It's really nice inside, rustic diner atmosphere, with lots of tables and counter service. They are renovating the front, so drive around the back and use those doors. There was a board with daily specials that looked great too. Chicken with biscuits. Chicken salad. Homemade soup. I had the turkey dinner. This tastes like you remember. Homemade gravy, stuffing, potatoes, real carved Turkey. It was awesome. This is a wonderful diner with breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7 am until 7 pm just off Rt 81 on the Onondaga Nation. Please support this wonderful restaurant if you are in the area. Cash only. They have an ATM.

    One of the 315 rocks I found today at Firekeeper's Restaurant.

    Stopped here on the way to the strawberry festival. Got steak and eggs breakfast for $12. Perfectly cooked medium rare, great steak, substituted grits for the home fries, they were cooked perfectly as well. Eggs over easy were just a smidge runny but it didn't bother me. All in all, it was THE best breakfast / brunch, whatever you wanna call it, I've had in... Well, I can't even remember how long it was that good! Service was pretty good, my wife got a little irritated when the waitress took a little long to get our boxes but I didn't think much of it. Love the ambience, whenever we come here I always find these 315 rocks with these awesome inspirational sayings on them. They always end up being really deep, profound messages that really, truly speak to my life experience. The one I found today really touched me. So, yeah, definitely one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Syracuse. Whether you live here or are just visiting. Do yourself a favor check it out. I literally downloaded yelp just to write this review.

    Frittata with Italian Toast
    Jenny S.

    This place is always amazing! The restaurant burnt down years ago so they rebuilt it as a log cabin, the interior walls are beautiful. Everything is very clean and everyone that works there is friendly and hospitable. Every meal I've had there is delicious! During this visit, I had the Frittata and it's so simple but done so well. Coffee is good and they offer plenty of refills. Would recommend for breakfast or lunch!

    Firekeepers has such a warm & cozy vibe to it. I honestly felt like I was amongst family while dining here. The staff were super friendly & attentive. The restaurant is very clean, open & bright. This is a seat yourself establishment. Within 2 minutes of seating ourselves, someone was over with menus, and to take our drink order, this level of service continued throughout our meal. The food is very tasty and extremely affordable! Not a single item on the menu was priced over $15. How amazing is that?!?! I am looking forward to returning to try out their hot turkey sandwich and mac & cheese. As I was leaving, another customer strongly encouraged me to come back for those menu items, so I will definitely do so.

    Chocolate cream pie
    Joanne R.

    I've been here many times but always lose out on the pie! I heard it's homemade locally and every time I try to get a slice they are all out. Today was my lucky day!!! They had chocolate cream, coconut cream, apple and blueberry. I choose chocolate cream and it was just perfect. I also had a bowl of New England clam chowder but the pie was the star!! Service was excellent as usual. Very clean place. Note that they only accept cash.

    Hot turkey sandwich
    Erica O.

    I've been craving a hot turkey sandwich and found out they serve the real deal here. Seat yourself, so I did and almost immediately I had someone come over for my drink order. Then my server came with a menu. Everyone was extremely friendly and the restaurant is so clean. The specials were up on the wall, Fish Dinner - Fish Sandwich - Macaroni and cheese - New England clam chowder. I had to have the hot turkey! A very nice serving of real carved turkey on bread, home-made mashed potatoes, a small side of cranberry sauce and plenty of gravy. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to come back and try something else.

    Wow!
    Joe F.

    Each time we visit, we are greeted by warm atmosphere, great food and friendly welcoming staff.

They cook the food right in front of you on the griddle behind the counter, which adds to that comforting, family style feel. It truly feels like a neighborhood spot. You see a lot of the same faces every time you come in, the service is always quick, and the food comes out fast, hot, and consistently good. I have never had a bad experience here. I love the loaded potato omelette and I always try different French toast or pancakes with whatever toppings they have available. They usually have specials going on and I really enjoy switching it up each time. Just a heads up that this is a cash only place, so make sure you bring cash with you. They do not have an ATM inside, but there is a bank around the corner if you need to take money out. I absolutely adore this place and it is definitely one of my top breakfast spots every time I come back to town.

They also own Chelsea's Restaurant & Bar located across the parking lot from E.A.T., at the corner of Velasko Road. This 1,600-square-foot café is a cross between their full-size diner and the coffee shop. A counter stretches the length of the front windows with tall stools and plenty of charging stations for electronics. The dining room also has eight tables that each seat four customers. My wife and I met some friends at E.A.T. for the first time recently. It's a nicely decorated cafe, plenty of parking lot spaces available. We were able to easily get a table for 5. We all placed our orders, which were brought quickly. I ordered the chicken & waffles special, while my wife ordered the country biscuit dish. The chicken & waffles was said to have a hot honey maple syrup, but there was no heat to the syrup at all. The chicken was chicken tenders, which was fine, but they did not have a very good texture - they were somewhat rubbery and full of tendon. My wife enjoyed her biscuits, but her, and the rest of the table, agreed that their home fries were undercooked and grainy. We also tried their Lucky Charms special latte, which was good. Prices were decent, employees were mostly friendly. Not sure it's a place we would go out of our way to give another try.

Hours are from 7-1 most days I love love love the ambiance of this little cafe. They always have some relaxing music playing and the interior design feels so groovy! I'm a big fan of Recess coffee, this cafe uses the same coffee so they're winning in my book already. Plenty of flavor choices to choose from with a pretty extensive breakfast/lunch menu as well. Today I got an iced latte with marshmallow. Their marshmallow flavoring is closer to a toasted marshmallow and I think it compliments the espresso well. I usually get a bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. But today went out of my typical order and got their special Breakfast tacos! And I loveddd them! The pancakes were soft, I enjoyed the mix of sausage bits and pepperoni bits, the eggs were scrambled. I hope they keep them on the menu for a while longer so I can get them again If you've got a few extra dollars, I suggest trying them out!

When my husband read a ridiculous one star review, we knew we had to stop in. We both agree, we have now found our favorite breakfast place! First, the food....I ordered the #2 breakfast (2 pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 sausage and 2 bacon. The pancakes would be more than a meal by themselves. Thank goodness my husband wanted one of them. They were huge and fluffy and delicious! I ordered my eggs scrambled and they too were light, fluffy and cooked for the perfect amount of time. The bacon was delicious and the sausage was nicely browned and tasty. My husband ordered hash, eggs and toast. I tried a bite of his hash and WOW! We both think it had to be made in house. Second, the atmosphere....this is a classic, old school diner. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the masterful cooking on the flat top. Lastly, the staff was super friendly and attentive. Even though this was our first visit, the friendliness of our server made us feel like regulars.

Unfortunately, I found that despite some good reviews, this place is subpar. I paid $35 for two breakfasts. I was served a dish with two eggs, two thin slices of toast, I don't know how they slice the toast that thin, a huge plate of greasy home fries, and bacon that was so greasy it was inedible. The floors were filthy and I can't imagine they have been washed in months. This is a small space and tables are crammed everywhere making it difficult for the waitress to move around. My husband said the men's room was simply disgusting. The flies on the window next to us eagerly looked at our plates, waiting to pounce at the first opportunity. Not a positive experience.
