The food delivery was on time, well packaged, and the portions are ample. I ordered two items: bean…read moreand kale soup, and shepherds pie. The soup was very salty, very garlicky, and my spouse had to pick bay leaves out of it. The shepherds pie was . . . so not good. The mashed potato topping was a layer of what tasted like mashed baked potato (very dry and chunky). The inside tasted like someone had thrown together bovril, packets of frozen veggies, and half the contents of a salt shaker. We could not eat it, and I've made some pretty rough stuff that we've managed to get down. So, here I am with $50 of inedible food, and a glass dish that I've got to get back to Rose to get my $12 deposit back. I wanted to love this food, as this service would have made my life so much easier. I tried contacting Rose three days ago, to ask if the food had been a blip, and would I be better off ordering something different, but I have not heard back from her. TL;DR - Everything about Rose's Home Dish is great, except for the food, which makes hospital cafeteria food look great.

Noodles with peanut sauce makes for a couple of really filling lunches in the summer when you don't want anything too warm or too heavy. Burrito gigante, yup! Salmon cakes, so good! And I don't even really love salmon that much. Three of her dishes are astoundingly good and we order them nearly every time they're available: The Gumbo, the Shrimp Creole, and by far and away the best: the EGGPLANT PARM. All three are melt in your mouth to die for good. I kind of can't say enough about how great. Quality, mostly locally-sourced ingredients, prepared with an eye toward health-consciousness, but also with just amazing skill! What's not to love!?

Conveniently located by a bookkeeping service and the Tompkins County DMV is a strip mall, parking was easy. It was early so only us and two other tables. The hostess/server was very nice. We ordered the spring rolls and pad Thai. They were good. This place is not fancy and has a very limited menu. The atmosphere is enhanced by many lights overhead strung across the ceiling. The price is definitely right. All in all, a good choice for an early meal.

They have a small but solid menu with breakfast sandwiches, hot and cold heroes, apps like chicken tenders, French fries, mozzarella sticks, falafel, and stuffed grape leaves. They also sell Boar's Head meats and cheeses by the pound or in sandwiches, plus soft drinks, candy, and other convenient snacks and staples. I had the chicken and rice halal, and it was incredible--perfectly seasoned and satisfying. I'm excited to try the Chopped Cheese next! The staff are so nice and friendly, which makes the place feel welcoming and easygoing. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch, a tasty halal meal, or just some snacks and drinks, this little spot is definitely worth checking out!

They fry it themselves in the shop! It's such a hole in the wall place! The honey bisuits are also really good! I rated this place 4/5 stars because the chicken was good and the people serving were nice and asked us to spread the news about this place! It could be 5/5 if they had coleslaw to go with the fried chicken (which I found to be on the saltier side)! I also wish that the honey bisuits were bigger because they're soo good and I want more bang for my buck! Lastly, I got the mashed potatoes with gravy. My honest opinion: I would skip this one!

After a long hiatus, I finally made my triumphant return to North, this time with my girlfriend, to relive the magic and, of course, put their food to the test. We went for the Tompkins Burger ($8.49) -- a classic setup with onions, tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce. No sauce included, but that's a choose-your-own-adventure situation at the condiment station. My girlfriend gave it a 7/10, and honestly, that feels right. It's a solid, no-nonsense burger that exceeded my size expectations (which is half the battle with late-night food). I also really love their the boneless wings. Specifically, the sweet chili and honey mustard flavors. Maybe I'm biased (I would eat chicken for every meal if society allowed it), but these wings slap. Flavorful, saucy, and the perfect balance of sweet and tangy -- 10/10 would recommend :) Beyond the hot food, Nasties is the ultimate convenience stop. Need snacks? Drinks?
