    Homemade cookies

    What a wonderful surprise this quaint local diner was to find! We were passing through town and were hungry so we googled lunch near me now and found Via Main. Boy were we happy for google!! The staff was amazing. We couldn't get over how friendly everyone was. The waitress even gave us a fresh homemade cookie to try and it was delicious- just like Mom used to make. The poutine had lots of gravy and cheese, nice and gooey. The fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant- I wish I had remembered to take a picture but it but it looked so good that I just dove right in and before I knew it, it was gone! My husband really enjoyed the hot roast beef sandwich. Too bad we live so far away but next time we are in upstate NY we will remember to stop back in the Via Main.

    Service was poor. Food was bland. Onion rings left a puddle of grease on my plate. Will not return to this restaurant.

    Don't let the area around the diner dissuade guy from trying it. Walked in on a weekday morning,…read moredecent crowd. Friendly wait staff seated me and brought a coffee. I ordered an omelette and home fries. I judge a diner breakfast by the quality of the homefries and these were A+. Extra crispy, real potatoes that were nicely seasoned. Everything was hot, coffee was very good. Friendly attentive staff. Can't wait to go again.

    Looking for breakfast spots in the area this looked to be our best bet. Plenty of parking available…read moreand it is located in what appears to be an old mall that while outdated looking did appear to be full of many other businesses. This is your classic diner you would imagine when you think of spots that brings regulars in everyday. Also I must add they were decorated for Christmas to give that little extra holiday feeling, great touch. You are greeted right away by some of the friendliest staff and service is top notch. The person in our party was getting their coffee topped off long before it had a chance of being empty. Not really something you see with service quality much these days. In typical diner fashion they offer their breakfast all day during their open hours as well as have rotating daily specials. While some of the specials sounded really good, and even just their typical menu offerings sounded tasty both my wife and I ended up choosing an omelette. She ended up choosing the bacon and cheese while I got one of their loaded ones that came with sausage, onions, homefries, and cheese. Serving sizes were great and it is definitely a spot you will be leaving feeling full. While both were tasty, we have had better breakfast and omelettes elsewhere but would gladly return here again! The cheese used appeared to be American cheese slices and my wife's hash brown had an off taste from the oil used to fry it. Just a few knocks against the food to make it a 4 star review rather than 5 but minimal overall. Positively though they filled her omelette with a ton of bacon! If you are in Potsdam or the nearby area looking for a breakfast (or lunch) spot I do think this is worth your time! Some of the friendliest staff in a place with old school vibes for a good hearty meal!

    Big selection of North Country comforts. I was bummed my pountine came with shredded cheese instead…read moreof curds, but the fries and the gravy were tasty. My dad ordered a chicken quesadilla, and it was amazing - jam-packed with chicken and cheese filling. It was probably the last thing I would have ordered, but now I want to go back just to get one for myself. Cafe 56 has a solid selction of sandwiches and tasty desserts. If you come with a local, you'll amost certainly bump into someone you know. Good food for a great value. The staff is friendly, and the vibe is laid back, super casual. Good eatin' happens here.

    Another great breakfast at cafe 56! This place seems to always be busy but we did find a booth -…read morewe were immediately given menus with specials and the waitress was there soon after. It was loud as per the norm but we placed our order for two of the specials. The one special was eggs, meat, home fries and toast...with a waffle on the side...it could have fed two! The other special was hash browns mixed with ham, onions and peppers covered in melted cheese - so good and filling. By the time we left things had quieted down a bit but I'm sure another wave of customers was en route. Really appreciate that they had one employee dedicated to seating, filling coffee and cleaning up tables. Makes the whole place nicer.
