From ribs, to fried chicken Mac, greens with Parmesan, award winning wings, and perfectly seasoned fried catfish (only served on Fridays), there is something for everyone. The prices are great and enough to where you can feed a family of 3 for under $40. Which is a steal! I loved how nice the staff was, and I even got a banana pudding to go (it barely made it to my room). I'll be back here next week lol

This is the type of place where you have to make sure you have time because they have a small staff and make everything with lots of care -- but the wait is worth it. The employees will bring your order right to your car when it's ready (if you don't want to wait at the window.) The Buck is one of my favorites. It has strawberry jelly and peppery cheese and is scrumptious. Often I like to eat it right away in the car, but it's wrapped in a foil later and does keep well if I go home. A very unique spot unlike anything in Syracuse and I'd recommend stopping by to try at least once -- even if you're not vegan or vegetarian!

Wow! What an awesome place!…read more I've been wanting to try this for breakfast for a while now after hearing such great things and I'm so glad I did! I really like that everything is vegan as someone who used to be vegan I think it's great to have some options around Syracuse. My coffee was AMAZING! Some of the best coffee i've had in a long time and I can't wait to try some other coffees on their menu. I really want to try their strawberry milk cold brew but they were out today. I tried the rambler and it is huge, filling, smells so good, and tastes even better! I'm not a huge fan of the fake bacon but again, it's great to have a spot with vegan options. Everyone who works here is amazing as well! You order at the window and they come out and deliver it to your car. Today was a cold snowy day, with snow banks taking over the sidewalks and they are all still out here delivering down the street right up until close. I told the man who brought the food to my car how amazing he is and he said I was amazing for coming out - such a great attitude as well! I will definitely be coming back!

Southern homestyle or soul food...it doesn't matter what you want to call it, it's just yummy. My…read moremom was from the south so I grew up eating collards, cornbread, fried okra, fried chicken, etc. And I've tried a couple of so-called soul food restaurants in my life. I've never been that impressed. Sharon's food is good, real and homemade. Her collards are wonderful. Really, I would have been content to have a huge bowl of collards with a hunk of cornbread to soak up the juice. I brought a friend for lunch, and the next day I went back with my husband for dinner. So far we've tried the cornbread, fried okra (very yummy), black-eyed peas, collards (excellent), string beans, fried fish, and smothered chicken dinner in a wonderful onion gravy. We loved it all and want to go back to try more. Sharon's daughter is the waitress, and she's really delightful, personable and attentive. Sharon takes the time to come out of the kitchen to meet her customers and chit-chat. Please make the trip, you won't be disappointed.

Service was great....the bartender was friendly and very efficient. I had the seafood chowder to start. While it was very tasty, ( haddock, clams and salmon- (?), I thought it was very skimpy on fish. I ordered a piece of grilled haddock and a side of mushy peas. The haddock was sweet, moist and delivered hot. The mushy peas were excellent with great texture. The menu is small, but everything I've tried over the years has been excellent....they know their fish and prepare it simply and beautifully.

Located in the Salt City Market. It's very rare that I can find a full meal at a stall in a food…read moremarket for my child with multiple, food allergies. I saw that Miss Prissy's offers a half roasted chicken so I inquired about it (I believe it was called grannie's plate). The lady working at the counter was so kind and patient. She read over my daughter's allergy card thoroughly and knew what was in the dishes. Grannie's plate came with two sides. I was surprised that the candied yams and green beans didn't contain dairy or ham (there's turkey in the green beans). Chicken was juicy and just fell off the bone. Candied yams and green beans were well seasoned, like a big hug in food form. It was also a ton of food for the price. I did see several things were sold out. We came at 1 pm on a Sunday so I'd imagine you'd want to come sooner to avoid sold out food.

So far I have yet to go to Salt City Market and not have a great meal. I've still only scratched…read morethe surface, but we finally got a chance to go try another one. Based on the reviews, it looks like their menu must change often. We pretty much cleared the whole thing with our order, and I'd be excited to reroll on the next one. We got the haddock meal, the rosemary chicken meal, and an order of the wings, along with all the sides included. Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens, Yams. I thought the meal sounded pretty plain when I looked over the order, but we were just excited to eat a well-cooked meal we didn't have to make ourselves. The rosemary chicken ended up being my favorite part. So melt in your mouth tender, while the skin was snappy and crisp. The haddock was pretty much standard issue, same breading and texture you'd expect from a fish fry anywhere you go. We got three squeeze packets of tartar sauce we weren't expecting to like, but it was fine. The fish wasn't really a memorable part of the meal, but always a welcome addition. The wings were golden brown, the exact texture you want in great quality breaded wings. They were very flavorful, with a sweet and tangy sauce. The sauce is buttery, which helps it carry the flavor, but also turns into sludge if it gets cold. I wish they came with a dipping sauce - I think even a good ranch would have brought them home. I'm doing my best not to just say "melt in your mouth" a thousand times in this review, but it came up a lot while we ate this meal. The chicken, the mac and cheese, the freaking yams. My first impression of the mac and cheese was that pasta should never be this soft, especially in something that is baked. Then I tried it, and it's perfect. Super soft while retaining the pasta texture, but with a blast of creamy cheese in every bite. The yams -- again, my language is falling short so I'm just going to say it. The yams melt straight in your mouth in the best way possible. I hope they are always on the menu. These are kind of express restaurants at Salt City, so I get why their menu is so small. Going through the photos and reviews online make me sad I didn't come here sooner, but also excited to return later and see what else they have. With the quality of this meal, I have very high expectations for whatever they do next.

Walking through the restaurant was nice as the space was very large and the decor indoor was cozy and whimsical. Our server was nice throughout the meal. However, I did get a water glass that had marks on it that looked like someone just drank out of it and a crumb on the rim. I asked them if they could get me a clean cup and they ended up bringing the same one as the same mark and crumb were still there. For food, our table ordered a few items to share. We got: -CAULIFLOWER WINGS: The chutney/salsa on top of the fried cauliflower was nice and gave the item a little sour kick. However, the cauliflower itself was not cooked fully so not as soft as I wanted it to be. -SYRACUSE POUTINE: The appearance of the poutine was not the best. However, the gravy it came with was very flavorful and tasty. The potatoes themselves were not fried and were in wedge form but went well with the gravy. The small globs of melted cheese on top were a nice complement. -CAJUN SLIDERS: The slider compliments/sauce went well together but the sliders themselves had grill marks on it which gave a bitter bite to those parts of the slider. Additionally, the fried shrimp inside of the slider still had the tail on and so it was a bit of a surprise to bite into a full tail while eating a slider. All in all, a cute spot to see people but food had some hit or miss components.
