    Came here for a work lunch and enjoyed myself though could have been better. When you walk in you're greeted by a cool patio setting to sit and eat , though there isn't much shade or light protected seating for your eyes. Then you come in and see the menu. I like that everything had picture visuals. Though there are no words describing what's actually in it. The cashier brought us over a menu to look at with more details which was helpful. We placed our order and the girl who helped us was very nice. She made sure all customizations were heard and taken care of. Then told us they will call us when our food is ready. Turns out they delivered it to us outside. The food came out hot and fresh but my meal came out incorrectly. They forgot the egg and burger on my meal. When I shared that the gal immediately apologized and said she will get that fixed. Within 3 minutes my burger and egg made it out fully cooked. Sweet pita fries tasted like fresh sweet potatoes. Food overall was great and so was the service. Though I wish it came out the right way the first time. Id give this place another chance!

    Mortician w/jack cheese and Onion Rings
    Arthur L.

    On the first day of 2026, my wife and I decided to venture out and try something new. A random recommendation from YELP popped up on her phone. Keeping with a couple criteria, an untried venue, check! Food, (most importantly) check! and nearby, check! We decided to throw on some foot covers and head out the door. A quick jaunt and we'd arrived. Super easy to find even though it isn't street facing. Expecting it to be bustling with NYE recovery folks, we were surprised to find a quiet establishment that had two other patrons. Quickly I grabbed up a menu and we were immediately greeted with a friendly "Good Morning" from a very energetic and enjoyable young man. We sat and perused the menu. Talking over what we wanted vs what we should have. It took less time to make our decision for our order than most food stops in our past. I ordered the Mortician with Pepper Jack instead of the American Cheese it was paired with. Our order taker guy, (also the energetic greeter) inquired if I wanted to make it a double. I answered to the affirmative, (with a sheepish smile on my face). My wife conservatively ordered the Thursday Special, consisting of the Morty's Iconic Cheeseburger and fries. After paying and sitting down, our once greeter/order taker now waiter guy appeared with a large bottle of pour-it-yourself Fry Sauce and a handful of napkins. I looked over the sauce and quickly realized I hadn't ordered the Onion Rings that I wanted to try. I quickly mentioned to our greeter/order taker/waiter guy before he disappeared behind the kitchen doors that I needed the onion rings. With a smile and a thumbs up he said, I gotchu. I asked if there was a separate charge and stood up to pay. He quickly interrupted my advancement with an outstretched hand and a more pronounced, I Got You. This, of course was not my intention to get free stuffs but I was pleased just the same. My wife quickly grabbed some loose cash from her purse and added it to their tip jar. Thanks Babe! Once again you show me one of the many reasons for my affection toward you! We sat and did some chit-chat, continuing conversations from earlier that day. Sooner than expected, our food shows up, piled high and filling the plates with our side orders, (see photos). I literally had to take off the onion rings that were part of the sandwich makeup to even consider the possibility of moving the Mortician into my mouth, (TWSS! ...if you know, you know). Im finding this experience difficult to put into words. So, I'll sum it up. Delicious and juicy and fantastic! For once, outside of a homegrown burger, I'm able to enjoy the separate flavorings of Bacon, Beef, (which I think is marinated), the jalapeño and the pastrami as well as the aioli. After a quick drink to cleanse my palette, I grabbed up an Onion Ring. I paused to reflect on my existence and quietly muttered, this is really good! Crispy beyond any previous onion ring order from any of the, what could be hundreds of orders of rings during my 59 years, and delicious. I savored every bite, licked my fingers, and made happy "mmm mmm" sounds as I partook of this fine deliciousness. We finished everything! Talked about how this particular Morty's has now been labeled a family staple. Our experience is not just made up from the delicious food, friendly atmosphere, free onion rings, and did I mention the delicious food?, no. It's all of these as a whole, bigger experience, making it a unique and favorite beginning to a new year. Thanks to you, Morty's and our favorite greeter/order taker/waiter/I gotchu guy, we both are still smiling from our visit. Thank you for the excellent experience. We are looking forward to our next visit!

    Morty's cafe it is such a hidden gem. They have the best burgers shakes and fries. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has always clean and welcoming. This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised. I wish more people knew about this place. It's so good. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

    Das Frik'n Burger, a ton of flavor
    Dan S.

    Morty's opened up in Syracuse, and had good reviews elsewhere, so we thought we'd give them a try. When we showed up at 12:30 pm on a Friday it was packed, had to wait for a table to open up. Good sign. They offer burgers, salads, sandwiches and burritos. You come in and are filtered to the counter to order. The staff was helpful and friendly. My son tried the Iconic Burger add bacon, ($3 add), with fries for $3.50. Burger was fresh and tasty, the bun was so fresh it kind of melted away. Bacon was thick and cooked well. I ordered from the Bavarian menu Das Frik'n Burger, 50/50 beef and pork patty, topped with sweet red cabbage cheese, sweet and spicy sauce and creamy aioli sauce on a toasted brioche bun. It was so flavorful and good, almost a sweet bbq flavor with a small kick. Kind of messy and the bun didn't hold up throughout the meal. Get lots of napkins. Not your typical burger but very good and I would recommend. The fries look like a twice fried fries and were awesome, crispy and yummy with bottles of fry sauce. Great fries! I tried a bottle of Bundaburg Root Beer. Tastes like grandma's home made. I would recommend trying Morty's and will be back.

    My family and I had a great time enjoying burgers, fries and shakes. The ambiance was cool and the wait is not long.

    Just proof we were there

    I saw a review on TT and thought we'd try a new place that's local. 1st with ppl standing around you still had to ring a bell to get service. We waited for 35 minutes for 2 burgers and an order of scone bites. After watching 2 different ppl that came in after us go thier food I finally went to the counter and asked about our food, it was under the hot light just sitting there.( Unbelievable) finally it was bagged. It was good but would have been way better if it was warm. Won't be going back EVER

    Chocolate shake. Yum!
    JoElla H.

    This place seriously has the best customer service of anywhere in Syracuse!! No matter who is behind the counter, they are above helpful and courteous! Good food and they want you to come back. I will! Good fries and awesome shakes.

    Philly Burger
    Kathee C.

    My friends and I had lunch today at Morty's and loved it! I ordered the Iconic burger (a standard cheeseburger) with fries and some scone fries to share. One of my friends ordered the Sunny Side (cheese, fried egg, bacon, spinach, tomato and honey mustard) and the other ordered the Philly (1/3 lb. patty topped with cheddar, philly style ribeye, onions, peppers and provolone). We all agreed everything was amazing and we all plan on going back soon. I was happy to see they have my favorite soda, Stubborn Pineapple Cream soda, it's so good. The service was friendly and quick. There are a lot of tables to choose from and it was busy the whole time we were there. So happy to have a great spot for burgers in Syracuse!

    Philly Burger, Onion Rings, Lemonade
    Maegan R.

    I'm only in Syracuse for the day, so wanted something local. This place hit the spot!!! I got the Philly steak burger and onion rings. I got it to go and was nervous the burger would be soggy. It was perfect!!! The bun was still slightly crispy too! The onion rings were perfect and so was the sauce they sent. The pics do not do this burger justice...it was huge! Juicy, flavorful, and not dry whatsoever! Definitely recommend!

    Complimentary ice cup for dashers!

    One of the GOATs. Love their burgers, always fresh, always good, higher quality, and the fries and…read moreshakes are awesome. Large portions. Shakes and fries are more than enough for two people. Technically pricey, but if you share it right then it's actually not that bad. The salt lake, centerville, and clinton locations are all my favorites. Also, recommend try an egg on the burger. It's an awesome add on, always cooked perfect. That golden yolk is a great sauce.

    ​I love a spot that focuses on freshness, and Tony's Burgers definitely delivers on that front!…read moreEverything here is made completely fresh to order right on-site. ​The Good Vibes & Great Service ​The setup is highly efficient--we ordered at a touchscreen kiosk, and the process was seamless. The entire restaurant was incredibly clean, and the staff was fast, welcoming, and friendly. ​The Standouts ​The Shakes: Our strawberry coconut shake came out first, and it was absolutely delightful. Thick, flavorful, and clearly freshly made. ​The Fries: If you like thin-cut fries, these hit the mark. They are definitely on the greasy side, but they come with a fantastic variety of sauces to choose from, which made dipping a lot of fun. ​The Catch ​While I appreciate the freshness, the burgers themselves were very, very greasy--way more than I normally prefer to eat. Because the grease factor was so heavy, I'm not entirely sure I would head back for a burger next time. ​The Verdict: If you love a classic, ultra-juicy, old-school greasy burger and fresh-cut fries, you will love this place. For me, the highlights were the pristine cleanliness, the top-tier service, and that incredible shake!

We ordered online for in-store pickup. They gave us a timeframe, so I arrived on time. The bad news was they were very busy and way behind on filling orders. My online order was still 5 or 6 orders down the list before they even started preparing it. I waited 15-20 minutes to get my order, but the manager was very apologetic and gave us 2 coupons for free food on our next visit. We ordered a variety of things so get a good picture of what they had to offer. We ordered breakfast as well as some lunch items. They serve breakfast all day, so it worked out well. Our order included Ham Breakfast Jack, Sausage Breakfast Jack, Grilled Cheese Sandwich on Texas Toast, and the Mini Churros. I really liked the breakfast items, and I liked the sausage more than the ham. The grilled cheese was very good also. I was worried it may be greasy on the Texas toast, but it was not very greasy at all. I love churros and thought these would be the highlight, but they were just ok. My husband likes the mini tacos, but we didn't order them this time. I'm not a big fan of those. I suppose I would eat here again, especially for the breakfast.

Nearly 10 mins later we did not hear from anyone, even after asking for someone. Then, another car pulled up in the other drivethrough line and almost immediately had someone take their order. I promptly backed out, parked in a spot, and went inside to find out what was going on and try my luck ordering in there. I recieved the same message from someone inside "we will be with you shortly". I stood there again for a while. I watched the three people working there move in the slowest of all slow motions preparing food. I again stood there for a while with no further engagement from the team there. So I walked out and we found somewhere else to eat
