Bang Bang Tots
Saret B.

I've been wanting to stop by here for a while, my husband, and little one stopped in after an appointment today for lunch. It's a cute place and has indoor and outdoor seating which is nice, there's not that many tables inside but outdoor seating helps when the weather is nice. The menu is a good size with variety(wraps, burgers soup/salads etc), they have daily specials as well. You order at the register and it will brought out to you. My husband ordered turkey club, and their famous grilled peanut butter & jelly sandwich(to share), I ordered Cranberry Turkey Wrap & Bang Bang Tots, my little had fries lol. My husband enjoyed his sandwich along with the grilled PB&J (so did I, love added pecan!). I loved my wrap and especially the sesame sticks in it, gave a nice flavor and texture. We both agreed the Bang Bang Tots were delicious! The drink offerings were what they had in their cooler (soda, juice, chocolate, milk, water etc). They have a food truck as well so be on the lookout for when the weather is nice out! We'll definitely be back, the staff were super friendly and welcoming. If you're in the area definitely stop in.

Grilled cheese and bacon.

Everything was great! Solid sandwiches and sides. Friendly service and kind folks. The grill use is spot on! Go. You won't be disappointed.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the door with a very warm welcome! I forgot her name, but she explained how to order and told us what she recommended. Ordering was an easy process, and then our food came out very quickly. Another employee came and checked on us soon after we got our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and each of the employees was very sweet and helpful. A lot of their food here is made from scratch, it truly shows! Definitely recommend checking this spot out! I plan on coming back to try more on their delicious menu

Combo half grilled cheese, half grilled pb&j with tots
Joee L.

I ordered from a delivery service as this was the best value and close to my hotel. I was pleasantly surprised as I wasn't expecting much. The tots were my favorite part and I kind of wish I ordered the spuds now but anyhow the grilled cheese had some sort of sauce on it that made it stand out from any other grilled cheese. The pb&j I wouldn't order again. It was burnt pretty bad and there was almonds in it which just threw me off. I'd definitely order from here again and try other menu items. The only big area of improvement I'd like to see is a sticker added to the box so I know the delivery driver didn't open my box/bag.

Inside vibe

Love that this establishment is close to my work. They have gluten-free options that my coworker needs. I've tried a few different things here for takeout. The most recent, I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese. Comes on artisan bread. I asked for light sauce (homemade honey mustard comes standard). Very tasty breakfast sandwich. I tried their chili and will definitely be getting that again!

Grilled PB&J

Pat Orr operated a bright yellow food truck for 4 years before moving into her first brick and mortar location inside the Imperial Gardens apartment building on James St. Among other achievements, she won the judges first prize in the inaugural food competition at the 2015 NYS State Fair. The James St location was extremely small, and PB&Js then moved into the building last occupied by The Kandied Kernel on Old Liverpool Rd, where they were able to add some tables for seating. PB&Js menu includes grilled cheese, fresh hamburgers, club sandwiches, wraps, homemade soups & chili and grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I'd heard about PB&Js for year but was just never in the area to try them. Recently, after a beard trim across the street, the wife and I needed some lunch and figured we'd give them a try. The dining area is a nice little modernly decorated space. You order at the counter and then they'll bring the food to you. Employees were both very nice and attentive. I ordered a jalapeno burger and my wife ordered a grilled PB&J and we both got a side of bang bang tots. Food was ready in about 10 minutes. We didn't realize that mine came with mac salad and my wife's came with chips. I'm not a fan of mac salad but my wife said it's some of the better mac salad she's ever had. She also enjoyed her grilled PB&J, commenting that she just can't get them to come out as good at home. I enjoyed my burger. It was topped with a jalapeño cream cheese, which there was just a little too much of on top for my taste, but it was good. I feel like I could've used some sort of sauce, but it was still a good burger. My wife and I agreed though that the best part of the meal was the bang bang tots. They probably could've been a meal in themselves. Perfectly fried crispy, perfectly seasoned, covered in melted cheese, bacon and bang bang sauce. Absolutely delicious. Prices for everything were reasonable. We'd definitely grab lunch there again.

Signature Grilled PB&J, Huge Grilled Cheese, Bang-Bang Tots
Micah K.

Such a hidden gem! We've driven by hundreds of times and only just stopped in for lunch. The place is so cute with nostalgic lunchboxes decorating the inside. If the weather's nice sitting on the deck feels like having a picnic lunch at your aunt's house. The owners are so friendly. We had a good chat while we ordered and waited for our food, felt like family. We got the Philly cheesesteak and the sample platter, both amazing decisions. The cheesesteak was decent but the sample platter was where it's at. It might sound sketchy at first but their grilled peanut butter and jelly was amazing! They put glazed pecans inside and it's ooey gooey deliciousness. The grilled cheese could have used a stellar add in or a sharp cheese to add a bit more pizzaz. But the bang-bang tots were stellar! Warm and loaded with toppings they had that nice level of spice where you feel it but it's not trying to set your sinuses on fire. Altogether an amazing place and we can't wait to return!

Thursdays special... breaded chicken fingers
Nicole P.

We found PB & J's Lunchbox on Yelp when I searched for dog friendly restaurants. We getting the dogs out of the car when an employee greeted us & said the dogs are welcome on the deck. Service was fast & the dogs were given a bowl of water. The server suggested the Thursday special (homemade breaded chicken fingers with bang bang dip). Two of us ordered the special....delicious! The burger, BLT & turkey club were all very good. Everyone was so super friendly & food was great. We will stopping here again.

I've been on a mission to find coffee shops in Syracuse that are open late enough for me to unwind…read moreafter work, and Milano had been on my list for a while. After finally visiting, I can honestly say the pictures don't do this place justice. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and somehow elevated at the same time. It felt less like a coffee shop and more like hanging out in a friend's beautifully decorated home. I spent a few hours there editing a YouTube video, and it was exactly the type of environment I've been searching for. Since it was my first visit, I wanted to try a few different things. I ordered the strawberry vanilla matcha, which was surprisingly good. It was a little sweeter than I expected, but the flavor was excellent. I'm not usually a matcha girl, but I'd definitely order it again. Their menu is extensive, with several drink options, flavored matchas, pastries, cheesecakes, and even the viral fruit pastries that I saw several customers purchasing while I was there. One thing that really stood out to me was that they actually offer food. I ordered a jerk beef patty and a jumbo apple fritter, both of which were delicious. They also had other savory options available, including spinach pie and additional patties. As someone who arrived hungry, I appreciated having more substantial options than the typical coffee shop pastry selection. The staff were wonderful. They mentioned that they love welcoming new guests, and it definitely showed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and patient while I stood there trying to decide what I wanted to order. I never felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and make recommendations. The only thing to keep in mind is parking. Since Milano is located in the heart of downtown Syracuse, you'll most likely need to park on the street. If you're visiting before 6 p.m., be prepared to pay for parking. Overall, I had a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and the customer service. I'll definitely be back, and Milano has quickly become one of the strongest contenders in my search for the perfect late-night coffee shop.

This spot is SO CUTE!! Loved the vibe when I walked in: a great spot for working or catching up…read morewith friends. Lots of seating and soft/comfy seating options too! I ordered one of their Long Island everything bagels with cream cheese, which was DELISH! I was excited to try one of their Frappuccinos, not many places in downtown have those on their menu and I love a blended frozen drink!! This one was a little underwhelming, and felt watered down, but they were very busy so maybe that was why. The place was really cute, so I'll definitely give it another try!
