The pizzas were excellent and my friend also got the pretzel sticks as well, which came three to an order with nice portions of mustard and cheese sauces. And were delicious.

Ambiance was nice with both indoor and outdoor seating in the street, and the vibe was hustling and fun.

Shows are from 1-4pm, and along with their house crafted beer, they also offer a selection of cocktails made with NYS spirits.

I have had Scenic Root on my "must go" list forever it seems, so was excited to finally check it…read moreout. We had an amazing meal and definitely made for a great date night! We ordered the bang bang shrimp appetizer, and the batter was so crispy and also fluffy (almost like a battered haddock but lighter) - awesome! The bang bang sauce has great flavor, but slightly too mayo forward for my preferences - but ate it up nonetheless and would get them again! I also ordered a blackberry margarita- which I will say was strong, but the flavors were great. When I asked if they minded giving me a couple Slices of lemon and some simple syrup (and yes I admitted that it was a ME problem, not that they made it poorly- it was just stronger and I'm a big wimp!) , they promptly, no questions asked said "we got this" and put the drink back in the shaker and added some simple syrup (mind you I was totally fine with just a little shot glass of it to dump in my drink!) - so the willingness to be so helpful was very appreciated. As for our entrees, one of us ordered the Cajun Alfredo and one of us ordered the Tropical Salmon, both were made incredibly well, and the flavor and seasoning was fantastic! The Alfredo sauce when I tried it was lovely, not so thick and "artery clogging" as some Alfredo can be, but coated the noodles beautifully and packed a flavorful punch. The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pineapple and coconut in the rice made for an amazingly delicious dish. We were also fortunate to sit at a window overlooking the swan pond and then take a nice walk around the pond. So lovely- cannot wait to go back!!

We had a short wait at the bar and met another couple who we ended up seated next to. Laura was our server and she was OUTSTANDING! We had such a tough time deciding, it literally came to a coin toss. We chose the fried Brussel Sprouts, which we'd heard so much about and the burger, served with homemade chips. There was never a time when this place was not busy and everyone was on their game. The ambiance was wonderful and the food came out very quickly. The sprouts were served in a black, cast iron pan with pork belly and an amazing glaze and that burger was to die for! Both dishes were absolutely delicious and we couldn't finish them, unfortunately. I look forward to returning to the area and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Brian's Landing if you're ever nearby.

It was a nice comfortable feel indoors with a cute outdoor patio. There were two steps to the dining area so it was a bit difficult for my parents to navigate with limited mobility, but doable. The food tasted really good. The only improvement would be to make the yolk more runny on the eggs benedict and the potatoes were SUPER crispy. They could have cooked a touch less but all in all very tasty and good portions. The potato cake on the benny was crispy on the outside and creamy inside. The dijon on the croque sandwich was the perfect sharpness to cut through the rich cheese and bechamel. The carmelized cook on the breakfast skillet veggies was nice, and the bacon was perfect. The best cook on bacon I have had when going out to eat.

This place is still awesome. It does not have an extravagant menu but everything on the menu is delicious. Portion sizes are great. Service is awesome and the ambience is cool.

I no longer need to leave the city to find my favorite craft beers and I am so excited!…read more My husband and I popped in and were mind blown and excited to see the options available. They have most of the craft beers I seek out, such a Resurgence from Buffalo, Brooklyn Brewery, Bells, Thin Man, etc. Their cider selection is good too- 1911 everything, Citizen's, Black Bird, Nine Pin, and Woodchuck varieties to name a few. The Beer Depot had more non-alcoholic beers than I expected. There's a whole wall of cold beers in the back room too. They also carry the regular macro breweries in larger cases. One note- Syracuse Beer Depot does not do growler fills, so everything is cans or bottles. Still I'm happy to have such a wide option of beer selections closer to home now! Parking- the lot is bigger than it appears. If you're coming from Thompson Road direction take the light on Thompson and a right onto Headson Dr. I need to go back and scope out the bike parking- I don't remember seeing a rack but they are right off the Empire State Trail.

Dive bar is a colloquial or informal American term for a disreputable bar or pub. Such bars may…read morealso be referred to as neighborhood bars, where local residents gather to drink and socialize. Individual bars may be considered to be disreputable, sinister, of poor upkeep, or even a detriment to the community. This was especially true in the past: A plot to entrap young women. The dives themselves are nuisances, per se, and that is why they have to pay such high license prices. A 1961 dictionary defined a "dive" as "a disreputable resort for drinking or entertainment". This place blows all these misconceptions out of the water. Not only are the wings to die for but the burnt popcorn is the best you can get anywhere in the Cuse. If you order a Cosmo and it is not sweet enough... just tell your bartender and they will bring in Kevin and he will personally dip his pinky in your drink to make it sweeter (winky face).

I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo which was delicious but it also had blue cheese in it. Huh. The golden beet salad was very very good. In all, it was a lovely, scenic evening. I wish the staff well...
