Small, cute place along our road trip through upstate NewYork. The waitress was friendly and service was quick. Th e food was fantastic.

Best we have had in this area so far on this trip for breakfast. We have been to the famous family blue diner down the road and actually it did not impress. This place was admittedly understaffed for the rush that happened but they hustled through it fine. Coffee was good and food was very good. Nice atmosphere and prices were less than $20 for the two of us and we ate all we wanted. Stop by if in the area. It's worth it. read more

Gigi's Place (formerly Top of the Hill Cafe) is a small hometown diner serving breakfast (all day) and lunch located at the corner of Main St and Pennsylvania Ave in Apalachin. The food served here is homemade and the prices are reasonable. The place has two dining rooms with booth seating, table seating and counter seating, kitchen in the back. The walls in the dining room are painted in dark pink color and local artwork (for sale) decorates the walls. There was a nice painting of the Delhi Covered Bridge on display in the main dining room. I've driven across that covered bridge many times. The breakfast offerings include the usual suspects: egg platters, omelets (with homefries & toast), breakfast sandwiches, burritos, biscuits sausage gravy, pancakes, French toast, corned beef hash, oatmeal, and muffins. The lunch offerings include a variety of hot sandwiches, burgers, melts, cold sandwiches, salads, soups, chili, and fries. All sandwiches include cole slaw, add a side for $1.25 more. Daily special items are offered too. The prices here are very reasonable, under $10. Boars Head deli meats used here. Pepsi fountain drinks and Mr Koffee (located nearby) coffee is brewed here. I decided to stop at Gigi's Place for lunch recently instead of my usual very popular diner near the highway. I sat myself at an open table in the main dining room. I was told by the waitress that anything with roasted beef (Philly steaks) were not available. For lunch, I decided on the Florida Reuben ($7) with cole slaw and fries (add $1.25). My food was served to me in about 10 minutes. The Florida Reuben was a big sandwich layered with thin deli slices of turkey, cole slaw, 1000 Island dressing, & melted Swiss cheese between two thick grilled slices of multigrain bread. The fries were deep fried to perfection, hot and crispy and salted just right. The homemade cole slaw (shredded cabbage & carrot) were creamy and sugary sweet too. The food I had was excellent and very fresh tasting. The service was friendly and courteous. I'm glad I stopped here and I will definitely have to return here again and try out the breakfast!

Great place for breakfast. I had the corn beef hash with taters, eggs, and toast. My sis-in-law had French Toast with sausage patties the size of her hand. Wonderful service in a cool old school diner vibe. read more

We enjoyed our breakfast. Everything was delicious. All of the breakfast's were pleasing to look at and were gone before I could take a picture. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. Plus they offered Swiss chocolate almond coffee. You can't go wrong with that. read more

Great food. The burgers for lunch are just huge and juicy. I like the breakfast variety and their specialty is the sweet potato home fries which I highly recommend. I come here regularly and the food is always consistently good. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this little place. Very good home cooking. We had lunch today but I'm looking forward to going back for breakfast. read more

I'm not going to bother rating the food because we did not eat it. I tossed both mine and my husbands meal. Wasted $25.54 Came here for lunch, placed my order, then the hosted went and called the cook from the other room. She walked out of sitting in the next sitting area placed her phone on the counter and went straight to making the food without washing her hands. The worst thing you can touch and eat is your phone. Think about all the places you take your phone, I.e. the restroom. You can see onto the kitchen from the bar area and I watched this lady wipe her hands on her pants after each seasoning. I'm beyond grossed out by this place. I will NOT be returning. read more

We stopped for lunch and had a wonderful surprise. A definite place to visit. Food very tasty, plentiful, and service was very friendly. Worth the stop off highway and a break from fast food. A must! Will definitely stop again. Thankyou! read more

One of the absolute best little restaurants in the area! Whether it's a perfectly cooked burger from fresh (not frozen) beef, a well crafter sandwich (the Florida Reuben is personal favorite), or a breakfast classic with their always crispy homefries, Gigi's never disappoints. Give it a try next time you are in the area, you won't go home hungry! read more

We each had an omelet and it was really good. Better than the ones we have had at our regular dinner place. Very convenient location close to the highway. read more

Causal, friendly place. Delicious food, reasonable prices. Breakfast is amazing, best homefries and sweet potato homefries around. Biscuits and gravy are also the best around. Love their burgers, and I don't usually care for burgers out. read more

Just tried Gigi's and it was absolutely great! So cute inside and the food was fantastic! You have to try the sweet potato homefries. So glad Gigi's moved to Apalachin. read more

Classic diner breakfast fare with all the great choices that larger area diners don't offer. I.e., sweet potato home fries, sausage gravy and biscuits. Unlike other larger places, the cooks actually try here. They want you to come back. They're not just riding on the reputation of some Greek guy who has long since retired. read more

This Breakfast was delicious!! My friends go here often and it was the first time I made a brunch. Completely worth it and I wish I ordered another serving of the Sweet Potato Home-Fries! Unreal. Coffee tasted very good as well just black. Toast was crunchy and the Chili Cheese Omelette crushed it! read more

Please do yourself a favor and don't ever, I mean ever go here. I had a bad breakfast here a year or two ago and Dad n I decided to give it another try.... Very bad choice. How does a diner type place not know how to make an omelette? They poured the 2 eggs (not 3) out on the grill cooked them through then put cold ingredients inside and folded it up. In my case un cooked spinach, and cheese. It was terrible. My dad's was the same way. I mentioned to the owner that she might want to cook the spinach a little for the omelette. She acted confused. Never go here. A much safer and better place is the Blue Dolphin right down the road... read more

Just got finished eating here, the food was great, especially the home fries. Not the normal frozen cube potatoes, these where whole potatoes, probably par boiled and smash fried on a skillet with very crispy skin. The restaurant is small, but clean, probably not the best place for a party more then 4 or 5, kid friendly. Service was a little slow but I'm always willing to wait for real, good food and friendly staff ! Make sure to bring cash. read more

The only reason we came here was because of the name. The name "Gigi" is special to me. I am so glad! Awesome food! BOMB burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Fries were perfect. Definitely will return when in the area again. read more
