Decided we'd ask to sit at the breakfast bar and the nice gentleman grabbed us waters and juices right away and waitress took our order shortly after. Glad we stuck it out. We both had the TMR which came with 2 eggs, choice of meat, home fries, waffle, and sausage and biscuits. I had Canadian bacon (2 slices) added onion to my home fries which were crispy and delicious the other was the same except regular bacon (8 slices). Price was great for the quality and amount of food. Gets busy and noisy but very good. Casual atmosphere a bit less noisy at the breakfast bar. Nice clean homey place. We enjoyed and took half the food home!

My roast beef sandwich will not win any awards, but it was a solid attempt at a Beef on Wick. The sandwich itself was flavorful but the horseradish sauce was heavy on Mayo and light on horseradish, the a jus was good and the French Fries were ordinary. I sample my wife's meatloaf open face sandwich and if given the option I'll take the meatloaf over the roast beef. All in all nothing exceptional but nothing off putting that would warrant a disappointment issue.

I took a seat at the bar (lots of mimosas and espresso martinis getting poured!) and was immediately given a cup of coffee. My waitress did a great job of keeping it filled. When I requested a side of bacon for my waffle, I was given an enormous stack of maple-flavored goodness...and the Belgian waffle with fresh berries was great too! It's about ten minutes outside downtown Auburn: Strongly recommend!

Do NOT pass on this diner! Place is busy but wait time went by quick. They texted us when our…read moretable was ready. Cool eel named Elmo lives there when you are waiting to be seated. Menu is filled with options which made it hard to pick what to order which is an awesome "problem" to have, we all ordered breakfast and were not disappointed! I decided on the pancake/french toast flight and picked three flavors. I chose Cannoli French Toast, Reese's Pieces pancakes, and the loaded pancakes for a savory item. Cannoli was my favorite but they were all good, loaded even has an egg on top however you like it!Portion size is huge and everything tasted great!!!! They had a good challenge listed on the menu but none of us were up to the challenge! Service is amazing, and they even have a waitress warming up coffee, which I highly appreciate at places. The diner is busy but it was not too loud to hear your party and everything ran so smooth. All the servers were nice and seemed happy to work there! Menu price was shown using your card, they had a cash discount available if using cash which is a nice option! I wish I took pictures or everyone else's food but didn't. The drink options seemed amazing with make your own flights or their specials. The next time I am in the Syracuse area I will be going here to try more! Don't be afraid of the busy parking lot or wait time, it's worth it!! Also reading about the name and reason for this diner made me feel all the feels for the owners recovery, how can you NOT support a place like this??!! We will be back and can't wait to try more off their menu.

Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food…read more I googled some restaurants near me and oh my darling caught my attention. Inside it's rustic and modern at the same time. Very large space and tables are well spaced out to give everyone some privacy. I wanted to specifically make it for the lunch because I wanted to try the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes which came with greens and a side of protein. I choose potatoes. I also ordered a peach Bellini drink. Delicious!!! Definitely hit the spot. The food portions are big so I couldn't finish all my food but if I had space in my stomach I would have licked the plate clean. The staff is friendly. Someone who I assume is the owner was walking around greeting guests. My server was great really payed attention to his guests. I am only visiting Syracuse, but I would love to come back when I'm back!

I said that I'd give it a second try and today I did just that. Today I ordered a Mushroom Burger…read morewith French fries and a slice of cake on the side. Again, absolutely nothing negative to say about the service or the price points. Definitely busier today then during my last visit! Soup is now on the menu as are tacos and about 1/2 dozen daily specials. Without any front end staff it was a one man show today and it's a lot of work for one. (Help Wanted signs up for both front end and back house staff). Okay...food review... 1. The burger was cooked to order, so keep that in mind with regard to any time limitations you may have. 2. The fries were a little light on the portion size, BUT were hot, crispy and tasty...no complaints. 3. The burger to bun ration was off a little, but it was a solid burger overall. Totally a chargrilled burger!!!It was tasty, I have no complaints with it....moist, cooked just right and tasty. Was it the best burger and fries I've had...no...but both were made to order and both were solid. I'd definitely go back for another... REDEMPTION! Adding a star to my original experience.

And boy, I'm glad I did…read more Drawn in by the choice of wraps on the menu; blown away by the greatest surprise I've had in a restaurant in a long while. This place makes the best "slice" of pizza. Not really pizza, but focaccia in a pizza-like style reminiscent of Sicilian style pizza. What sets this piece of tomato, dough, and cheese apart is the magic that happens between the layers. There's a middle layer on top of a perfectly crispy bottom and below the extremely tasty cheese top that is both flavorful and has the most pleasing texture. Put it all together with a little charred pepperoni and you got heaven on Earth; truly a spectacular "slice." Also available plain or with sausage. I had mine at room temperature. Soooooo good. Take it from the Pizza Maven. They got something REALLY special here. BTW, the wraps were very good, too. Nicely grilled chicken in a soft wrap stuffed with fresh veggies, fresh mozzarella, almonds, & even strawberries. It worked out to be an interesting, delicious combination. But, when I go back (and I'm going back sooner than later) it's going to be focaccia all the way. Thank you Mixing Bowl for showing me the light in the darkness of the Syracuse pizza world.

Seemingly in the middle of rural upstate NY is this gem of a restaurant. The server and everyone on the staff that interacted with us were simply lovely! Kind, helpful and joyful. I ordered a turkey melt with onion rings, and my friend had a burger with fried which she claimed was one of the best she had eaten in a long time. Accompanied by "sassy sauce" our fries and onion rings were dipped in this delightful yet spicy accoutrement! My turkey melt was delicious- carved turkey- not slimy cold cuts, cheese and banana peppers were a perfect and delectable combination on lightly toasted bread- simply marvelous! For desert- and they are all lovingly homemade, I had a mixed berry pie with ice cream and my friend had a slice of Dutch apple pie! Both equally and fabulously delicious! We left stuffed to the gills and so glad that we turned the truck around to try this hidden gem! Don't pass it up- stop by- it's worth it!

When my family entered the restaurant, we immediately like the rustic country decor. We were immediately greeted by a woman who confirmed our reservations and showed us to our table. The restaurant was quickly filling up and it took a few moments for a server to come to our table. After about 15-20 minutes it seemed like the staff got it going and food was coming out to tables and customers that ordered the Mother's Day brunch were getting their food quickly. My kids ordered the chocolate chip pancakes. One with game and one with sausage. My daughter is very picky with her pancakes and ate them all. I had the brunch. I had eggs Benedict, spinach omelette, ham and cheese omelette, bacon, fresh fruit, and two croissants. The food was delicious and fresh.
