Haddock sandwich.
Cynthia C.

Quaint restaurant bar that feels like a blast in the past. Decent food at decent prices. Water has a funny taste. Server/bartender a bit judgy and was offended when we didn't eat/like the pasta salad.

Detroit style pizza w/ pepperoni & green pepper
Russell F.

Inconsistent. I ordered a Detroit pie today, same recipe at I always do; double green peppers & pepperoni. Just look at what they served me & compare that to my other picture of an earlier Detroit pie. The crust is prebaked, but the crust was underdone while the cheese was barely melted. No browning and a lack of tomato sauce on top. What WAS an extraordinary pizza two weeks ago, is now truly crap. Lafayette Inn- don't rush the pizza out of the oven. Think of it as art.

Brownie sundae
Joanne R.

I must have driven by this place 100 times but today my sister & I were looking for a place to eat lunch. Of course I turn to Yelp for help in finding a restaurant near where I am. Yelp is spot on again! Although this doesn't look like much from the outside the inside is clean and food delicious. The bartender had to take care of the bar and food orders. She was busy but still gave good service. I got the cheesesteak sandwich which came with chips and pickles. My sister the grilled cheese with chips and pickles. My cheesesteak was tasty with a perfect bun which wasn't too much bread. We shared a brownie sundae. It was a huge sundae and so good. If I'm in the area again I won't hesitate to stop in.

Buffalo chicken wrap
Sarah P.

I went here on a Saturday afternoon and it was truly the perfect timing. I walked in, and there were a handful of regulars at the bar and not many other people at the tables. As soon as I sat down, I was greeted by the bartender and offered drinks. Shortly after I placed my food order, which did not take long at all. The food was great. I got a buffalo chicken wrap with their homemade potato chips, which were truly amazing! They have so many options on their menu. It was difficult to choose one thing. There are a bunch of dart boards at the restaurant and it seems like they have events here in the summer when they have bands who come to play. I would absolutely recommend checking this spot out. I will plan on coming back soon!

Bang bang chicken salad
Bailey K.

The Lafayette Inn is a small town bar with a large back room and I believe it was 6 or 7 dart boards.. they have an extensive menu, honestly, and I am told everything my friends have had there has been good. The salad I had was pretty good and fresh, but the mushrooms on my friends mushroom Swiss burger looked to be canned, so I am mixed. They use bang bang sauce on multiple items on the menu, and the surprisingly sweet and spicy sauce is pretty tasty. The bartender was nice!

Amazing place! We were looking for an amazing fish place and found this spot on the side of the road after a hike. I am so glad I stopped. I ordered the fried fish and fries. It also came with cole slaw. I'll definitely be back again soon!

A quaint bar out in Lafayette with an extensive menu. The inside looks like it hasn't been updated in over 30 years, but that's really the only con. Drinks are cheap, it's clean, and they have 2 dart boards and a juke box. Kitchen closes at 9pm. I tried their French onion soup and bang bang wings. Both were delicious!! The wings were nice and crisp. Food prices were very fair as well. I would definitely come here again.

I had the mushroom Swiss burger and it was outstanding. The French fries may have been the best I've ever had. Excellent service too.

Probably the best 'cold cut' roast beef sandwich I've ever had, so hard not to give 5 stars…read more I put 'cold cut' this way since it's cold cut in the truest sense of the word, but it is not processed deli meat. They literally prepare their own roast beef in advance (and not cooked beyond medium either) and then slice and serve throughout the day. Aside from that, fantastic fresh bun, incredible horseradish mayo and fried onions. Massive size too that you'll probably want to consider splitting and still have no concerns about being hungry. I think I had one sweet when I was here and it was pretty good, but you need to be buying this sandwich when you're in town. I think they said the pork and chicken are also roasted in house.

Line almost out the door! Super popular and clearly well loved staple of the area. Wonderful…read moreselection of baked goods on your left immediately upon arrival. Lots of beverage selections. It is a smaller bakery/Café so not a ton of seating however there is some available for a quick bite. Cute little donut, decorations around on the walls too! I got two different types of scones as well as a breakfast sandwich. I was starving, and it tasted delicious, however, it would've been nice if the sandwich could come with something small on the side like fruit, salad, or garnish of any sort. The sandwich itself was on a smaller side, but it was still delicious nevertheless.

It's bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Secondly, staff are very friendly and helpful! And thirdly, their food is amazing! I'm not vegan but their food is genuinely delicious. We ordered the loaded nachos, chicken parm sandwich, and the sweet sassy molassey sandwich, chocolate mint milkshake and a green tea. The half order of loaded nachos was generous in size and toppings! It was filling without being heavy. All of the ingredients were fresh. Probably one of my top loaded nachos ever. The chicken parm sandwich was also amazing! If I didn't know this was a vegan restaurant, I would not have known that the chicken was not meat. It had the texture of perfectly cooked chicken. The stretch bread was soft, the marinara was warm and perfectly seasoned. 10/10 sandwich. The sweet sassy molassey was also quite good! Very bright, filled with vegetables and deliciously seasoned tofu. Finally, the milkshake! I would have never guessed it was vegan. It was creamy, minty, and chocolatey - like drinking thin mints! I'm determined to squeeze in more visits here before they close!

I have loved everything I've tried. I get something new each time, and can't leave without grabbing…read morea cupcake and a couple of sides to hold me over for a few days. This is the place you take people who think vegan food can't be good. It's one of my top 5 vegan restaurants in the US. They have a beautiful space with lots of seats, great lighting, and a very friendly staff. It's a great place to sit with friends or even to sit with your work computer. 100% recommend - once you go, you'll just keep going back. (Chicken salad sandwich is my favorite so far!)

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.

Cute little bread store run by really nice people! They sell everything from sourdough loaves…read more(plain, seeded, cranberry and walnut), baguettes to sandwich breads and more. They have a rotating menu that they list on their website (www.saltcitybread.com). By the time I got there mid-afternoon, they were sold out of their seeded (sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds) sourdough. Plain sourdough loaves are $10 and the sourdough with inclusions are market price and range from $12-14 it seems. I got their chocolate chip cookie (with flaky salt from Syracuse Salt company) for $3.25, and it was delicious!! Thick cookie with crisp edges and a soft, fluffy center. Huge chocolate chips too! The flaky salt brings a nice balance as well. Will definitely be back!

This little bakery is very cute and offers a selection of different breads as well as sweets. The service is excellent and welcoming. These people know how to do bread WELL. I have tried their italian bread, focaccia, and their braided sesame bread-- which are all phenomenal! They have some sandwiches on their menu as well as some coffee available. On this occasion we ordered: - Braided sesame bread: this is my absolute favorite bread here. The presentation is beautiful, and the bread reminds me of a more savory challah with some salted olive oil hints that remind me of focaccia. The softness of the bread and the density make it so satisfying. It is perfect with both sweet and savory pairings. Super addictive--a loaf usually does not last longer than a day in our household. - Turkey sandwiches: we got a whole sandwich split into two halves. Size is pretty generous and one half is definitely enough for one person. This sandwich, although simple, stands out for its high quality ingredients. It came with generous sliced turkey that was not too salty, delicious gouda cheese, high quality mayo, fresh tomatoes and lettuce. The white bread is made in-house and feels super fresh and fluffy. They were super nice and gave us two bags of chips to compliment our dinner even though we technically ordered only one sandwich. We got it split into two separate containers and my fiancé and I each got our own pickle! Perfect option to get to-go. - Peanut butter cookie: I initially wanted to try the chocolate chip but they sadly ran out. However this was actually an amazing cookie. The thickness was perfect, not too thick and not too thin. It had nice bits of peanut butter and the cookie itself was super buttery, soft but with a nice caramelized crust, and not too sweet. There was a surprise Reeses PB cup in there which was very pleasant. Very good cookie! Cannot wait to come back and try their chocolate chip one. Overall, this bakery is a 10/10 and a very great asset to the area. Even though their selection is limited, I think they really focus on doing the few things they do VERY well. I love how local and homey this business feels. Their baked goods are all amazing and I will continue supporting them whenever I am in Manlius. Highly recommend Salt City Bread! You will not regret it.
