It was…read moremy first time trying the place the onion rings were tasty but the burger was disappointing for $17 dollars it was not worth it for me. I had a double smash burger I could not taste the meat it was hard to eat it. I just tasted veggies and sauce . But the onion rings were awesome.

This place is a gem that is slightly off the beaten path in Endicott. I highly recommend a visit…read more First, let's start with the burgers. They are fantastic! For me, they are best eaten with limited toppings and no sauce. I'm not a huge fan of their burger sauce but others seem to like it but if you leave the sauce you get the full flavor of the burger and seasoning. I recently had to make a visit with a group to that place where there are nearly half a dozen guys that make burgers and as a test, I tried eating it the same way I'd eat it at here and discovered there was absolutely NO flavor. The best way to find out if a place makes good burgers is to eat it plain with little to nothing on it because if they are covering it all up with add-ons, they don't have a good burger, they just have cooked meat. TKC doesn't need the sauce but it's there if you want it. Better yet, they are reasonably priced and less expensive than any other burger joint in the area. (We are talking GOOD burgers here, not the fast food chains but even then...still probably cheaper.) Second, they have a fantastic hot honey chicken sandwich that has a lot of chicken on it. It is fried perfectly and the hot honey adds just the right touch of sweet and spicy to give it a wonderful flavor. Finally, sides of onion rings and fries are all done perfectly. I think personally the onion rings have the WIN here but either way you can't go wrong. Oh, and they have ice cream! That isn't the highlight for me, but they have a decent selection of flavors and are reasonably priced. My choice is the non-dairy cookie dough and peanut butter (I think I have the flavor right) and it tastes great. This place seems to always be busy and the owner is always cheerful and friendly. Do yourself a favor and make a visit and in the process support a wonderful local business! You won't regret it. P.S. Adding this - I've taken multiple people here over the past few months and not had a single person disagree with me on how great this place is. So, while the review is mine, I'm quite certain my family and friends would give the exact same 5-star review here.

The food was also excellent. The place offers a lot of seating. I had the Italian Steak Melt. Fantastic. They also had Guinness on draft. My wife had Harvest Salad with grilled Chicken.

We used the "wait time" notice on their website, and knew we'd be seated quickly. We were. Hostess, server, and even the manager were all cordial and helpful. Our meals, picked from the extensive menu, were served promptly, hot, and delicious. Our server made sure we had no wishes unfulfilled. The noise level was moderate and pleasant, which can be hard to find sometimes. The prices are very reasonable, and you'll definitely find the right food and beverage for your tastes. I recommend Copper Top Tavern.I feel at home here, and I think you will too.

A late Saturday lunch took us to this restaurant that we'd not been to in several years. The…read morefirstvthing we noticed was that it hadn't changed. Somehow, that's comforting. We were seated and brought beverages right away. The menu is quite extensive so we took awhile to decide on our fare. Meg went for the "Thanksgiving Special" which was a turkey sandwich with all the expected T-Day fixings. Shevhad a tossed saladcwith it, and she loved her meal which she accompanied with a nice Chardonnay. I opted for their Steak Tostada, which is served on a pair of fried tortilla shells. It was fresh and delicious, and washed down with a tall Root Beer. Our server was very busy but managed us enough attention so as to meet our needs very well. California Grill leans toward a surfer flavor which we love. It's very ckean and nicely decorated in their theme's style. The prices are well within a family budget range, and you get your money's worth. I definately recommend it for any hungry person or group. Stop by and enjoy.

Okay so having already eaten in a lot of random places in the Vestal area we decided to look for…read moresomewhere new. This place isn't necessarily new but we haven't been there before so we figured we would try it. The service was good, I mean nothing outstanding but the waitress was attentive and made sure everything was okay with us. The restaurant itself was also nice inside. No random tables with dirty dishes or anything like that... And now on to the food... I had a burger, it was a specialty burger but I can't remember what it was as it's been a couple weeks. I do recall it had a slice of pineapple on it which was the reason I ordered it because I like pineapple. It was cooked to perfection the way I ordered it, & it was a pretty good burger. Nothing fancy nothing special but I would order it again next time I'm there. My wife had I believe it was a fried cheesecake for dessert and I had the carrot cake once again both of them tasted fine, my only observation that I would possibly change is the piece of carrot cake in my opinion could have been a little larger. And for my wife's entree. She had the jumbo half chicken. Oh my gosh this tasted freaking incredible. Apparently they smoke these half chickens on the premises every morning and they are doing it perfectly The Smoky flavor on this was in no way overpowering and the entire chicken had the flavor throughout. I know I mentioned above that I would order that burger again but actually probably not, when my wife and I go back here (notice I said when and not if) we are most likely both going to order the chicken There isn't too much of a chance either one of us will finish this chicken for lunch as it is indeed a jumbo size, however we took home what she didn't finish, I made some chicken salad out of it for sandwiches and holy crap, the best chicken salad I have ever prepared. The whole experience kind of makes me want to go out and buy a smoker however I'm not convinced I could duplicate the flavor that this had without questioning them a little bit as to exactly how they prepared it and if I were them I wouldn't answer me because why let me make this at home when I'll keep coming back and buying it from them. I believe the price for this particular chicken was $15, and I'm thinking it comes with a side which I'm also thinking is probably about the price you would pay these days if you stopped at a random Firehouse when they were cooking chicken outside and you grabbed a half with a couple sides. This one is better though

Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

In this case Snidely's is supposed to be a neighborhood bar that has some bar food and good prices on drinks and a friendly atmosphere. It lives up to that perfectly. The bar tenders and owners are very friendly, the drinks are cheap, and the clientele is nice. As Dave K said, mist of them are regulars. The food for bar food is excellent. Get their sausage sandwich or Sausage Philly. I also recommend the home made soups, but no matter what you get I'm sure you'll be satisfied and won't be taking out a second mortgage to pay for it. Although I have a laundry room in my apartment complex I often go to Snidely's and take advantage of the laundromat on the other end of the strip mall.
