Don't even get me started on how much I LOVE Spiedie and Rib Pit!…read more As a Binghamton native, this place is a must every time I'm back in town. They are my personal favorite place in the area to get spiedies. They remodeled this old Pizza Hut building and moved across the parking lot into it a few years back, and their efforts definitely paid off. It can get quite busy in here, but the seating area is cozy, spacious, and comfortable enough to accommodate the traffic. Even when it is crazy busy, the staff does a wonderful job of keeping the line moving and getting your order to you in a timely manner. And the food is always delicious! If you're visiting Binghamton, you have to stop here to try some fantastic spiedies made the right way!

For those skeptical of the healthy approach that CoreLife takes, I had my skepticisms as well. But I was very surprised how amazing the salads tasted. I had the spicy chicken and ancient grains bowl and the spicy lime cilantro dressing was very tasty. The broth bowl was also quite good. I cannot wait to come here again and try the other items on the menu. The establishment is very clean and well lit and decorated. And the employees are extremely kind and fast with the service. Highly recommend to try out CoreLife if you haven't already!

It was around 5:30pm on a Saturday and luckily there were plenty of tables still available. We started with the Buffalo Brussels Sprouts which I absolutely loved! These are some of the best Brussels sprouts I've had at a restaurant. The buffalo sauce was light and not overpowering and even the blue cheese dipping sauce (which I'm usually not a fan of) was pretty mild and paired well with the Brussels sprouts. A great start! We then shared the Large Rigatoni a la Vodka and added Meatballs to it. The Large is definitely enough for 2 people. The Rigatoni was cooked well and the vodka sauce was well balanced with the cream, tomatoes, garlic, and cheese. It wasn't anything spectacular but it hit the spot! My only complaint was for ~$6, I expected the meatballs to be larger than they were. The Meatballs had good flavor but for such a large bowl of pasta, it barely makes a difference. And those 3 meatballs should be $1 each at most, in my opinion. The Side Caesar Salad was a great pair with the pasta and for ~$3, very reasonably priced. All in all, worth stopping by if you're in town!

As luck would have it, it was Binghamton Restaurant Week and we attempted a walk in - first available was three+ hours later - but the hostess mentioned we could get the RW menu at the bar and two seats were calling. Lots of choices on the menu but friend and I ended up having the same meal! Cup of Cauliflower, potato and leek soup to start was yummy - very comforting, not too thick, good flavor - I could have stopped here! But fortunately did not! Main was spectacular! Salmon with everything bagel spices served over pearl couscous in a risotto style was inspired (honestly, I will try this at home)! I hope this is a menu regular because I will crave this for many more meals! Add a black Manhattan and this meal is a treat! (Took the dessert course to go - blueberry cronuts were better than chocolate but both likely suffered a wee bit from loss of ambiance and slight steaming that occurred on drive - good for sure but did not compare to the rest of the meal). Shout out to Tommy F for exceptional service - attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance is lovely (the lighting dimmed as we sat - hysterical) but we also scored the most comfortable seats in the house (I hate a high top stool with no back and no padding on the seat - those stools look nice but should go away). Also love the hook under the bar.

I think it was Lauren, she was nice enough but did not go above and beyond for her customers. She did not want to move us to a more comfortable table, despite our requesting multiple times and the place was literally empty. Finally she was able to make it happen but it was already unpleasant. She was good with bringing us hot waters with lemon as requested, but there was zero proactiveness to refill the hot water or any of the iced water. It was like us going out and trying to please the waitstaff. She did make a good suggestion for the lavender gimlet cocktail. Overall disappointing.

We stopped by this place while on a road trip. Being a fan of New York style pizza, and on our way…read moreback from New York City, we wanted to grab another bite off New York City style pizza as pizza tends to get thicker as you get from New York City to Chicago. While we decided to stop in the Binghamton area, we looked at various pizzas online and found this restaurant whose Pizza appeared to be the closest to the New York City style. We ordered a medium pepperoni, the guy working in the counter seemed friendly and made us a fresh one while we sat and watched. When the pizza was done, he showed us what it looked like and whether we wanted it cooked more. He did warn us that he can always cook it more, but he can't uncook it. We asked him to cook it more, and he did a good job. We then sat in the car and ate this delicious pizza. I definitely ate way more than I was planning to, because it was just that good. In hindsight, I wish we ordered a large. The medium pepperoni pizza was roughly $20. They also have and all you can eat buffet, though neither of us can eat more than two slices of pizza to make it worth it. But if this is your thing, that would be another reason to visit here.

We ordered a pizza to be half cheese and half sausage so the vegetarian could share with the carnivores. The charge for saying "extra cheese" was $6. $3 for mozzarella and $3 for Parmesan. The audacity of whoever put that into the system! Our waiter didn't know anything. He actually told us on his second trip to our table that he literally just walked in the door, and it showed. The people seem nice, and I do think everything they serve will be yummy. The prices are very high, in my opinion. It's a small place, not many tables.
