My parents started coming here a few weeks ago on a whim. The breakfasts are generously portioned…read moreand so reasonably priced. Like, $5 for a huge breakfast, juice, and coffee. You cannot beat that price. My dad and I came here for dinner. He had the spaghetti and meatballs and I had the chicken special, a breaded chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Each came with a salad and bread. Our dinner came to less than $12 for the two of us WITH tip. Wow. I would like to come back and have breakfast, as I have heard they're amazing. I know they're packed daily for it. As for our dinners, my chicken was very tender and juicy, although it lacked a little seasoning. The mashed potatoes were potentially made from instant. My salad was great. For $3.99 for my dinner, would I really complain? I don't think so. My dad had a steak dinner here the week before and said it was fantastic, so perhaps it was just an off night. Service was excellent and the owner is very nice and friendly. All-in-all, I say give them a chance, especially for breakfast. They're just starting up and obtaining a liquor license. They have a huge bar area that will at some point make it a great place to get a drink and watch a game. It's located right across from Battle Island Golf Course as well. I'll update my post once I've had a chance to eat her again, as I have a feeling I'll be back when next visiting my family.

On a recent trip to visit a local antique market in Pulaski- we stopped by the Lakeside Restaurant…read morefor a bite to eat and wow, were we pleasantly surprised! Seemingly in the middle of rural upstate NY is this gem of a restaurant. The server and everyone on the staff that interacted with us were simply lovely! Kind, helpful and joyful. I ordered a turkey melt with onion rings, and my friend had a burger with fried which she claimed was one of the best she had eaten in a long time. Accompanied by "sassy sauce" our fries and onion rings were dipped in this delightful yet spicy accoutrement! My turkey melt was delicious- carved turkey- not slimy cold cuts, cheese and banana peppers were a perfect and delectable combination on lightly toasted bread- simply marvelous! For desert- and they are all lovingly homemade, I had a mixed berry pie with ice cream and my friend had a slice of Dutch apple pie! Both equally and fabulously delicious! We left stuffed to the gills and so glad that we turned the truck around to try this hidden gem! Don't pass it up- stop by- it's worth it!

Which if that's the only complaint it wouldn't have bothered me. The next strike was it took another 45 minutes for our food to come out. Another couple that was behind us to be seated got their food, ate it, and left before we had ours. Then the sausages in our food was so burnt it was discussing. Had all the black burnt pieces all through the food. I kept tasting this food the rest of the day. Never will I go back there again.

So we checked out of a hotel down the road, and instead of enjoying their free breakfast of cereal…read moreand maybe a waffle, my wife suggested Wade's. She had been here before, so I'm thinking sure why not. We walked in and sat right up at the counter and the gentleman that was working the grill was super friendly. He's basically cooking for the whole restaurant with another guy next to him and yet still found the time to welcome us in and take our order. I got the southwestern omelette that is made with homemade chorizo hash and he asked if I would like some jalapeno chopped up in there to which I said sure why not. Comes with a side of toast and potatoes... My wife gets eggs benedict, and they have a menu item called the Benny extreme which is the same basically but it comes with tomato and spinach, so she opted for this. She also ordered a cinnamon swirl pancake. I'm thinking hey that sounds pretty good, so I asked if I could also have a cinnamon swirl pancake. The gentleman taking our order just kind of looked at me and said are you sure? So now I'm thinking to myself yes yes of course I'm sure I've had pancakes before, some places I go to I get a whole stack of them, I'm thinking I can handle one and I'll use it as like a dessert item. He says okay, smiles, and they prepare our food. Everything tasted wonderful. The hash was excellent, at least I think it was I mean I've never had it before but no complaints. The only surprise I had was the pancake. It was on its own dinner plate. This thing was freaking huge. We could have easily shared one and maybe had leftovers as we also both ordered breakfast in addition to these two monster pancakes. Now please understand I was in no way upset. While it is true my wife could have warned me about the size, and he could have said something as well, it was okay. I still finished everything and most of my pancake. Over all the service was great, like I said this guy was cooking for the whole restaurant and he's still found the time to check on us and made sure our coffee was full. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area however it might be a little while because I live a couple hours away. The only thing I wish I had done that I forgot, when you order toast with your breakfast, the bread is homemade and they sell it by the loaf. White, wheat, rye, they have all of it. I meant to buy a loaf and I forgot. I look at it now though it's just an excuse to go back, and of course to grab another one of those pancakes... The only other thing that I could mention is that the place is a little smaller than I had expected. Everything was nice and clean so that's a bonus however for the business they're doing, and the number of people waiting to get a table, they could use a larger dining room.

Rise N Shine has such cute decor! I love the entrance and the overall aesthetic. The restaurant uses a QR code menu just FYI. There's also a parking lot which seemed like it would get full quickly if on a busier day. Our waitress was Karen (?) and she was very sweet. We ordered the Hot Honey Chicken and waffles (without gravy cause they ran out) and the Basic "B" with an extra side of hash brows. The chicken and waffles was pretty tasty! The waffles were light and airy and the chicken was moist with a nice crunch. I'm not sure how the gravy would've affected the texture but it was definitely delicious without it. The Basic B was standard, the bacon was apple smoked and thick. The pancakes were yummy, they came with a cinnamon butter which was perfect for the pancakes. And the hash browns were nice and crispy. Overall I really enjoyed trying this place out as it has been on my list! I will definitely come back again!

We recently decided to give Sammy's NYC Deli a try, and unfortunately, it was a decision we quickly…read moreregretted. When my partner and I walked in, we were greeted by a man at the counter and mentioned it was our first time visiting. His response was about as uninterested as it gets. Instead of offering a menu or any guidance, he simply pointed off to the side and told us to order when we were ready. Not exactly a welcoming first impression. The space itself was small, with a few tables, drink coolers, baked goods, and smoothie options. After placing our order, we waited...and waited. After exactly 40 minutes, I finally asked about the status, especially after watching another couple come in after us, order, and leave with their food before we received ours. I understand that takeout and delivery orders are part of the business, but in-house customers should not be completely overlooked. There was no communication, no sense of urgency, and no effort to acknowledge the delay. It genuinely felt like we didn't matter as customers. And for what? Two sandwiches--a roast beef and a turkey. Having worked in restaurants myself, I can confidently say that should not take 40 minutes under normal circumstances. I don't enjoy writing negative reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough to warrant one. We will not be returning. Save yourself the time and look elsewhere.

I try my best to not really shine the light on negative experiences because it does impact the businesses. Unfortunately- we had such a poor experience at Sammy's that I felt the need to share. The space itself is fine. There are a handful of casual tables that if you were just grabbing a bite you could sit for a little. I was actually really excited to see all their menu items but we had intentionally gone there because we were in the mood for sandwiches. I just had gotten out of work & was excited to just have something quick & easy for a "deli" to make. We ordered the Roast Beef Supreme Hero & the Caesar Squeeze Hero. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived so again believing it would be reasonably quick. It took them 40 minutes & us having to address the team about our sandwiches to get them. I believe there was even a comment made that they had some how forgotten our ticket as they did have many DoorDash orders coming in. We finally received our sandwiches & waited to open them once we got home. It was highly disappointing to open our boxes only to find lazily made sandwiches that we waited 40 minutes for. The cheese in the roast beef was just a folded slice of store bought cheese slices. The roast beef was fine but there really wasn't anything else to note about the underwhelming sandwich other than I did like the roll. The Caesar Squeeze was equally underwhelming & the fries we got were sparse while also being cold. Paying $30 for a highly underwhelming bite to eat- I wouldn't even call it a meal- was disheartening. They had a vast menu so who knows maybe on the off chance we're in the area & everything else is closed we MIGHT try them again.
