    Chicken Riggies!
    Matthew S.

    "En Vino Veritas" or rather Chicken Riggies. They tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Teddy's makes a killer Chicken Riggies. Perfectly cooked rigatoni pasta, juicy chicken, spicy peppers, mushrooms, in a spicy cream sauce, how is it possible to dislike this dish? My advice, take it slow when eating it. One piece at a time, or you will be spending an hour on the toilet. There is no rush to this. You will enjoy it more if you take your time than just scarfing. That alone is disrespectful to this dish. I only wish more restaurants had this on the menu outside the Utica/Rome/Syracuse region. Once you try this dish, I hope you agree.

    A true staple restaurant in the area. My boyfriend grew up here and I have heard about Teddy's from his family for years. I finally got to visit and this was our first stop to get the famous Chicken Riggies. The atmosphere is slightly outdated but it is cozy and very friendly. The staff is inviting and helpful and the service was quick. The portions are really big, so we definitely had to take some food to go, but they were great leftovers. I can't wait to be back to visit soon!

    My cousin took me to my favorite restaurant in Rome, NY. Teddy's is a great place to eat. There are pictures of Teddy Roosevelt and teddy bears all around. It's a comfortable atmosphere and casual. Our waitress gave us very good friendly service. The food is delicious and the portions are large. I got Chicken Riggies with sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions, olives and chicken with rigatoni on a light wine sauce. The sauce was delish. I got the broccoli cheese soup. Also very good. My cousin got lasagna with a side Cesar salad. It's a large serving of lasagna which is filled with a ground beef and sausage mixture with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. She said that was also excellent. We left with enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. If you're ever in the Rome area this is a place to check out. There is a bar but I didn't drink. Their desserts looked good too but we were too full! Maybe next time I'll get dessert first!

    Had dinner at Teddy's in Rome, NY this evening. This restaurant came recommended from our hotel. I was told this is the best restaurant in town, so I went to check it out. The restaurant is located in a strip mall. Inside, the décor is very dated and almost has a cafeteria feel to it. The music playing overhead was "freeze frame" when I walked in. At this point, I was worried. When we sat down, our waiter came over and was VERY nice. They didn't have any specials, but there were a few menu items that they were known for. So I ordered them all! The first was the Italian greens, which was Sauteed Escarole with Garlic, capicola, salami, hot chili peppers and Romano cheese. It was actually very tasty. We don't see a lot of escarole in Texas, so it totally of reminded me of home. The escarole was lightly sautéed in olive oil and the capicola and romano cheese gave it that distinct Italian flavor. The peppers provided a little heat, but it was a comfortable spicy and really, that's the way I like it. My entrée was their special: "Chicken Riggies" . I was told that this dish had won the Utica Riggie fest 4 years running and that the dish was in the Utica Riggie fest hall of fame! So, now I'm excited!! "Chicken Riggies" was a rigatoni pasta dish in a white wine, tomato cream sauce with sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions and black olives. It had small cubes of chicken and optional hot cherry peppers, which I chose to get. This dish was delicious and the portion size was very generous. The pasta was cooked al dente and the white wine, tomato cream sauce was very rich. The cherry peppers provided just the right amount of heat. My parents came down to meet me for dinner and I tried their food to, of course. My Dad got the center cut sirloin steak. Sirloin is such a lean meat and because of the lack of fat, it winds up being very dense, although it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. I also thought it could have been seasoned a little better. It was a bit bland. Aside from the 80's rock music and the dated décor, the food was very good at Teddy's. Very enjoyable meal.

    Awful food. Way to expensive for what you get it. Very disappointed in what they've become. Used to be amazing.

    Love to go to brunch on the weekends...Got a late start so decided to give Raspberries a chance…read more Not much to look at and while sign said they were opened until three. They actually were closing at 1:30 but they were so accommodating and sat us right away. Wait staff were cheerful and friendly. We ordered sandwiches which looked like Dagwood sandwiches as they were loaded with condiments. Condiments were fresh and everything looked and tasted like it was cooked to order. Will definitely be back

    My honest review. Went to Raspberries Cafe for breakfast…read morefor the first time since Denny's closed. I was reluctant to try them because of the reviews, but I braved it and gave them a try. We actually enjoyed our breakfast. We had the SunRise Sampler. I was able to switch out the hash browns for the HomeFries. Presentation was good. Both our eggs were made precisely to order. The home fries were tender and taste good. They could've used a bit of onions and peppers to boost the flavor a bit, but we enjoyed them anyway. We had wheat toast with our meal. We liked that they served nice hearty slices of wheat bread. The accompanying breakfast meats were cooked well. The Cinnamon Warm Apples were a nice touch, but they were disappointing upon taste. They were probably canned and could've been sweeter and more of a cinnamon taste. I do understand some people can't have added sugar so as a quick fix - I added some table sugar for sweetness. The apples also could use some added cinnamon or even better- Apple Pie Spice. (Hint-Hint). Service was timely and servers were very friendly and pleasant. I definitely would return to Raspberries for breakfast and lunch in the near future to try their other meals.
