We were passing through on a road trip and needed dinner. Google brought us here as we needed a…read moresimple deli sandwich. I will preface this by saying I'm from Philadelphia and ordering something called a Philly steak and cheese outside of the city limits is akin to blasphemy. So don't tell anyone ;) But I won't judge that sandwich against the Philly examples. I'll judge it on individual merits. And on its own merit, it was a very tasty sandwich. On top of that my wife's grilled cheese absolutely looked legit. I appreciate the fact that a small place like this takes pride in the food they put out. And judging by how busy it was at 7:30 on a Thursday night, the locals know it too. If I'm ever back in Syracuse, I'll stop back.

This place definitely gives me bodega vibes, and overall, I had a good experience--but I've had two…read morevery different visits. The first time I went was during the lunch rush, and honestly, it was amazing. Before I was even fully inside, the staff greeted me, asked if it was my first time, offered me samples, walked me through the menu, and gave recommendations based on what they personally liked and what they thought I'd enjoy. They even explained which sauces paired best with different items. The energy in the restaurant was so upbeat and welcoming, even though they were incredibly busy. They treated every customer that way, and it really made me feel like they value both their employees and their customers. That positive atmosphere definitely stood out. On top of that, the food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I left thinking, "I'm definitely coming back." My second visit was around the start of the dinner rush, around 6:00-6:30 p.m., and it was a completely different experience. The staff was still kind and polite, but the energy just wasn't the same. It felt much quieter and less engaging than my first visit. I also paid for extra sauce because I remembered wanting more the first time and having to pay for it, but my meal came without any sauce on the food--it was only on the side. When I asked about it, they had no problem fixing it and were very friendly about it, which I appreciated but it just seemed odd that the first time my food was made with sauce included. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't taste quite as good as it did during my first visit. I haven't tried any of the desserts yet, but they looked incredible. The cake slices are HUGE--I honestly think one slice could easily be shared between two or even three people. At around $7.99, I think they're reasonably priced considering the portion size. Overall, I also found the menu prices to be fair, and there's a great variety of options to choose from. Because my experiences were so different, I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. If my second visit had matched my first, this easily would have been a five-star review. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll probably stick to going during lunch since that first experience was so memorable. For anyone wondering what I ordered, I got the chicken and lamb halal over rice. It came with onions, tomatoes, and a few other toppings (I don't eat onions, so I can't remember everything that was included), along with a piece of naan bread. During my first visit, I couldn't decide between breakfast and lunch, and the staff recommended I try the rice platter--and I'm so glad they did because it was delicious. I still couldn't resist ordering a side of French toast, though, and that was a great choice too! Everything was generously portioned, and I left full both times with left overs. I do believe they told me they serve breakfast all day as well.

I spotted this location close to our final destination and knew my wife and I needed to check it out. I have heard of Wegmans online quite a bit but never looked too far into it. The thing I noticed most in reviews was the size of their hot/pre-made meals being huge. My wife and I were looking for a quick bite after our long drive so knowing they had a large amount of options it was a no brainer to check it out. Everything about this place was massive including with our first part we encountered, the parking lot. Due to being the weekend it was quite full and busy but we did find a spot right away. Inside it is groceries as far as the eye can see, including what felt like the endless selection of hot foods/pre-made section. We ended up grabbing some prepackaged sandwiches which I will say prices were higher than I am use to but the taste of all of them were delicious. Definitely well made sandwiches and if I were local to the area I would return for much more of this section because everything looked appetizing. Check out was quick and easy with no complaints. Will return to a closer location in the future to see more of a Wegmans.

I can't wait to come back here to try more of their baked goods. The half moons were delicious and fresh. They opened 2 days ago and they're only using their kitchen in Utica to bake products.
