At first the location seems less than promising, but inside the little touches of decor make for a charming, if not polished experience. It is still largely a bar that serves food, but the food is impressive in both quality and low price. The little details like in-house made desserts, house ranch dressing, and hand cut fries are a pleasant surprise. The organization behind staggered brunch seating lends itself well to good availability of items, freshness, and service. The menu includes frequently updated seasonal choices. This is also a LGBTQ+ bar. Brunch menus are regularly posted on Facebook, and the process for text message based reservations is convenient. Possibly one of the most surprisingly good restaurants in the greater Syracuse area.

It's such a cute little spot and a perfect breakfast or brunch option. And don't skip the sweet, they're equally amazing! I visited a few times during my trip and was so happy to keep coming back. Having an entirely vegan spot this good makes it a total no-brainer. Definitely worth a visit, whether you're vegan or not!

Stopped at 12:15 on a Sunday, a little late and thus, some menu items were sold out. However, what…read morethey still had was very good. I had the Buck and my partner a sausage egg and cheese of which I forget the name. Both were very large and tasty. I'd like to try another sandwich next time I'm there as the spicy strawberry jam on the Buck was not to my personal preference. My partner enjoyed theirs thoroughly. We also ordered a s'mores cookie for later alongside a cold brew and OJ. 39 and change for two large sandwiches, two drinks, and a specialty cookie seems steep but for the quality I'd say it's worth it as a treat. The staff member at the window was incredibly friendly which was great- makes you feel like you're supporting good people by buying local. I'll go again and I think if it's not too far you should try it, too.

Beer: there were a lot of sour beers and hazy IPAs but only 3 other beers (including 1 cider)…read morebesides those. However, the lager had great flavor! Food: mediocre. The "Burger of the Three Rings" was perfectly cooked temp wise (ordered medium) but the onion rings on top were the standard variety that were greasy and made the whole thing subpar. I opted for a $2 upgrade for sweet potato fries and they had cinnamon/sugar on top (unnecessary in my opinion as a side for a burger). They had standard pub fare that focused on either wraps, 3 burgers, 3 flatbreads, or fried food...not bad; just lacking options with any sort of complexity. I went around noon on a sat, and the server (Erin) was very friendly and attentive. I will go again next time I am in this area to hopefully up my opinion.

However, the bacon and the burger was not cooked nearly enough. The french fries were crispy and delicious. I got a grilled chicken Caesar salad wrap and sweet potato fries and I thought both were very good. The ambience is not what we expected based on how we had heard it advertised: we thought it would be much more sports bar vibes and instead it just feels like an Applebee's with less TVs not really hitting the sports bar Mark. They also was not as large of an alcoholic selection as far as beers insiders would go as we expected, which was unfortunate. The service was fast and polite no issues there. Overall, I would say everything was good considering it's a mall based restaurant.

We arrived to a busy atmosphere that quieted down throughout the night. We started with cocktails which were strong and delicious. The brussel sprout appetizer was to die for, who knew that brussel sprouts go well with blue cheese! I ordered the salmon dish which was incredible. My friend enjoyed the Greek chicken dish. We were disappointed we didn't have enough room for dessert so we'll just have to come back! Other notes: the service was friendly and there was extra parking across the street if necessary. I can't wait to be back to try their specials and seasonal menus

I read up on the menu and discovered they offered lamb chops which is one of my absolute favourites. A taste of home for me! Friendly and efficient staff welcomed us and showed us to our table. So far so good. Very nice young woman looked after us. My wife ordered the rigatoni and I had the chops. She loved her rigatoni so much she's finishing it off 2 days later and still loving it. Sadly my dish was a bit of a disappointment. My two large chops were extremely fatty. It's the kind you simply can't cut through on a slippery plate. Trying to separate what little meat there was from the fat was impossible so I had to give up and bring it home to a cutting board and an extremely sharp knife. I haven't tried to eat it yet but it looks as fatty as the first. Both had been totally covered by a condiment that I think should have been served in a separate container to allow the diner to regulate the amount desired. The base was a pilf which made trying to cut the chops even more difficult because every time the meat or the knife slipped, the table was showered with grains....all a bit slapstick....! As I previously said, my wife loved her meal and the previous visit was epic so I hate to criticise but I'm just trying to be honest and fair. I think $45 for a couple of very fatty chops with not much meat and smothered in a vinaigrette you might not like is a bit cheeky... In different circumstances I would have sent it back. Oh well, you live and learn...

I was extremely impressed. The brisket was a little tough, but that wasn't a deal breaker. We grabbed the cheesecake for dessert, and enjoyed every bite.

For drinks they have a good selection of beers on tap, usually 10-20, from local and national breweries. The server offered me a sample before I fully committed on a beer I had a question about and I appreciated being able to try it before committing to a full glass. The Evergreen's menu itself is accessed through a QR code where their full list of options and specials are listed. My group opted to share the beer fries and they were taaaasty, pillowy soft, crunchy, and amazingly well seasoned. The vegetarian options are a regular part of the restaurant and the fried tofu I had was genuinely satisfying and well done. My cajun pasta was maybe a touch over but I was okay with it since it had my condiment obsession of chili crisp in it. The menu is well marked for dietary needs. A great thing of note is that they have women's, men's, AND an all-gender bathroom. I appreciate the inclusion in the food and restaurant itself. Car parking is street parking, it's accessible via the Centro bus system, and there is an artistic broken-chain shaoed bike rack just across the street from the restaurant. My group was happy with the prices and service for an early Wednesday dinner in a wintry March.

It takes forever to read through the list. The bartender pushed me to choose from her recommendations instead of reading through the menu. The whole thing seems set up for people who don't know much about beer and just want to try something at random. On top of that, the music was too loud and I left with a headache.

Extremely welcoming customer service!…read more They offer a free sample of their chicken and rice bowl for first time customers. Mine didn't come out the first time but I wasn't going to bring it up however the worker came by to double check that I got it and reordered it from the kitchen for me. The chicken and rice bowl was one of the best I've had very flavorful. I also got the Philly cheesesteak which satisfied my craving. I think the Philly cheesesteak could've had more meat and I found the plain fries to be lacking salt without the Cajun seasoning but still tasty. It's very hot inside and it seems like their takeout is very active so that's what I would recommend. They have tons of different drinks inside like a gas station and also offer dessert. If you've ever been to the famous TKB Deli in Palm Springs this is a very similar setup in Syracuse. Can't wait to try more things!
