“I recently hosted a surprise party for my Mom’s 65th birthday and retirement at Busted Grapes Winery, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, Busted Grapes went above and beyond to help ensure that every detail was taken care of and that the event was a huge success. Their level of accommodation was exceptional, and their dedication to making our celebration memorable was evident in every aspect of the event. The beautiful setting and delicious wine truly made it a day to remember. I highly recommend Busted Grapes Winery for any special occasion.”

“This place is hands down the best place in the black river area! Whether for a quick bite for lunch or a get together this is a great option close to base. We held a promotion party here; the food was sooooooo good, the staff was attentive and the space was the perfect size. Their wings and pizza are awesome but tacos are their stand out for sure. I consider this elevated bar food. Yes it’s pizza, burgers, wings, fries and tacos but the flavors are just killer and everything has always been cooked to perfection no matter the time of day or food choice selected. Try their nashville hot it does not disappoint!”

“Friede's is a classic little diner that feels and looks like you're in a railroad diner car from the 40's complete with entertainment. You'll want to sit at the bar to enjoy the show put on by chef Bill. He's a funny guy and an outstanding short order cook. The food is great and the portions are large, so you'll see plenty of regulars there.”

“The Fairground Inn has been a local favorite of mine since I was a teenager. This is a very popular well run restaurant with a dining room and bar area. They have a nice well rounded menu from Italian classics, pizza, sandwiches, burgers, fajitas, steak, chicken and fish. The staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. Don't let the number cars scare you away. Even though they are busy they are located alongside some of great restaurants like Coleman's Corner and Craft836 staff can usually get you and your party seated pretty quickly.”

My wife hops around the menu and has really enjoyed it all. We aren’t food picture people but it is social media worthy in its presentation.Christin provides a great atmosphere and has some wonderful people helping her along the way. Everyone is always so nice and kind. It’s a nice break during a hectic workday.”

They don't play with their spice level. Husband got a medium spice level and I couldnt handle it lol. Also tried their mango sticky rice and it was so good!! Highy recommend!!”

“Miz Betty can design whatever you have in mind. She has some templates that you can view for ideas. I had a panda cake and blueberry vanilla cupcakes for my wife's 60th. The cupcakes were the best I ever had, and the same comment came from others! The cake was also awesome!”

However I got an espresso w/cold foam and a couple baked goods and everything was delicious! I loved the atmosphere of the place itself and the staff all seem pretty friendly and positive!”

“I can’t even begin to explain how much we loved this place! It was our first time but definitely won’t be our last! I was a little nervous when we parked, as I didn’t know if it would be appropriate for our 16 month old but they have kid menus and he loved it! We ordered the cheese curds, the sauce was so good! We also recommend the Mac and cheese bakes. We tried the original and BBQ pulled pork. We were NOT disappointed. Will definitely make the drive from Fort Drum to come here again!”

“The best damn sub shop in town! Simply put it's one of my favorites. The staff there is very respectable very aware of the customer and they take care of the customer all the time. My favorite is a BLT sub. Tuna melt delicious. Keep up the good work Mr Sub...Parking: it's good parking. one of the few places on the Square where you can park. I know that youcan also park in the back of the square. I love the location of Mr Subs.”

“Small local dinner, mainly older people working and eating here. Food is fresh, always made in house. Prices are very reasonable, 5 dollar burgers, 10 dollar entrees. Service is reasonable, everything is hot. Small and packed on the weekends. Under staffed sometimes so it can be slow service. 66 dollars for 5 meals and 4 drinks. Country fried steak breakfast.”

“Service was a bit slow, but they were fairly busy which took as a good sign. Among our group, we had the Brunch Burger, fried Haddock, and a couple of bowls of French Onion soup. The food was excellent, and the 1920s atmosphere in the dining room would be difficult to replicate anywhere else.”

“Was raised in Manhattan and the Bronx. A lot of jokers up here claiming to have "authentic new York pizza". They're all pretending miserable failures who couldn't tell a new York pizza from the monstrous abomination Chicago pretends is pizza. But no, not this place. This place is the real deal. So long as I live here I won't be going anywhere else. Delicious. Perfect. ”
