Oh, and it's it macaroni season already?? Snowing out, first day of spring, homemade macaroni salad.... Fantastic !! I can't wait to get back there.

“My husband and just came here for lunch and it was incredible food and the owner is nice and polite I recommend everyone to bring there families here. Prices are great.”

“I had a buffet dinner there recently and their chicken was excellent. I had a breast and it was not dry like so many others I've had. The food was very good that night.My only ding on them as it is on many, a domestic beer in a can should not be $5. I know prices are up since the current resident in the White House made his major changes but come on man, don't gouge the guy at the bar.”

“Everyone at the table loved their food. The boneless wings were amazing! One of the better boneless wings I've had in CNY. Downside is that the place wasn't totally full and yet it was still SO loud in there. My friend said her buffalo chicken dip was 8.5/10 but it seemed a bit greasy to her. Will def come back!”

“Typical diner food. I don't go here often, but the food is always delicious when I do! Never had any issues with the staff either. All around a great place!”

My husband had the steak with onions and peppers and said it was stellar! Owner and staff very friendly and polite. Will go again. ? ?”

“Great Location for a fast grab n go drive up. Just not at peak hours. They could use a few more peeps on duty to proccess orders, especially when the driveup is backed up out to the road.Parking: Parking can be difficult at peak hours as drive up getts backed up. But other wise easy parking.”

“Very simple take out. Food is good and better than most around. I am from Arizona where spicy food is everywhere. I find that out here you have to ask for your food spicy.”

“Central Square Taco bell best Bell i ve ever been to. Appearance outside was outstanding. Drive thru employee was amazing. Clear, concise and very professional. The drive thru was speedy with no wait time and zero errors in order. I don't know if management reads these but from a business stand point that skinny young lady with all the tattoos on drive thru is an employee you wanna keep, she's a definite asset to your place. Also all the food was top shelf. I was just passing through area but bar none. Best Taco Bell experience ever. This place should be the model for all others.”

“Quik stop drive up. Grab and go.Staff are all ways friendly.Parking: Plenty of available parking, including area for easily 10+ tractor trailers.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to side of main entry with large handicap mrked area.”

“Good food at reasonable prices. Servers were attentive. We stopped here because we were boating and there is many free dock spaces right in front of the restaurant. Nice view of the boats and Erie canal! Only downside is the Speedway is closeby and you will hear the noise when they have big events.”

“We had a quick stop for couple burgers, just to fill us up. My son says that his 1/4 pounder was the best one he had ever had! I had literally one little chunk, and it was very good. So I don't know what you are doing but keep up the great work.”

“Our waitress Sam was amazing!.She went out of her way to make sure we had good service along with bringing our second round of drinks without us even having to ask. She's a rockstar and I've never came across a waitress quite like that who's very personable with you!”

“Amazing food that tastes of quality, the Ruben and side eye sally burger were top notch, fast service and nice staff! Dessert looked good and are homemade like a lot of there things.”

“We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup (bún bò Huế) and the creamy udon noodle soup, both were really good. I have also come here before with my sister and her wife, who are both vegans, and they appreciated the options they had here.”

“I recently was in the area for a function for the week and was looking for a locally owned and run place not one of the chains that we are know. I stopped in January 23rd amd 25th and am so glad I did. It is small and very inviting. The staff was very welcoming and answered my numerous questions. I very much like the variety of unique menu items they have. The food was great. A wonderful experience all the way around. I will be back for sure. This place is a gem.”

“I got the Rancho Viejo burrito, my wife got Taco Salad, father in law got carne asada, and mother in law got shrimp salad -- all were executed perfectly -- looked, smelled, and tasted DELICIOUS -- This might be the best Mexican restaurant in Syracuse.”

“My time at this restaurant was enjoyable and pleasant! My sister and I got only appetizers and lentil soup to share among the both of us. We got Chili pakoras, potato tikki, potato samosas, and steamed idly. All these things were delicious but our ultimate favorite was the potato tikki. My own slight disappointment was that on their website they advertised having dosas when they actually do not. Besides that this restaurant is amazing! Staff was amazing just like their food! :)”

“The food was delicious!Our server, Jill, was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and personable.A shout out to Tom who is always so helpful too!!! Can’t say enough good things about him.”

“This is our 3rd time eating there. They knocked it out of the park. Started with homemade rolls with garlic butter. Dinner came with a choice of salad or soup. My wife got the beef vegetable which was delicious. I was going to get the same but their salads looked to good to pass. It was loaded. Dinner didn't take too long and was delicious. I got the Italian trio. Chicken parm, lasagna, eggplant parm with pasta. My wife got linguini in lemon garlic sauce. Delicious. Both with huge portions.”

“i come here with my wife almost all the time for dinner, we tried it once and always end up coming back. It’s great food and amazing service even, when it’s busy on a Saturday. we always get pizza with garlic parm wings, the wings are always CRISPY and absolutely delicious, the wing flavor is never overbearing and is always perfect every time same with the pizza. The pizza is always perfectly cooked never burnt even in the brick oven.The atmosphere is amazing they have entertainment and i think other things during the weekday, they have pretty lights hanging from the ceiling and they aren’t to bright. i can not suggest this place more.”

“I'm a picky eater, love this place, been going for over 10 yearsParking: Parking along sides and front of buildingKid-friendliness: Very family friendly restaurant, my son loves going.Wheelchair accessibility: Large ramp into building”

“First time visitors.As we often drive through rt31, we happened to spot this very small, tucked in the middle of a nearly empty plaza, pizza joint.Mostly take out.Not sure about delivery services.Couple days later we placed a pickup order for a large Neapolitan, with mushrooms and pepperoni and a large garden salad, with their own homemade Italian dressing.As we are always searching for great pizza since we moved back to New York, I can honestly say we are thrilled we found this place.The young lady who took my order over the phone was pleasant and very accommodating, and didn’t rush me off the phone.Their menu far exceeds being just a pizza joint, but for now we just tried the pie and the salad.In short, the pizza was outstanding as was the large garden salad.Let’s talk about that salad.For $7.50, we got a very large “garden” salad that was far from the norm.This thing was packed with fresh greens, assorted veggies, cauliflower etc.This was so close to being called a large chefs salad, just missing the protein.First glance, this place was very clean and well organized.But the star was the pie.Absolutely spot on and we are in the process of trying them all.From their on-line menu:Neapolitan thin crust large 16”Pizza$15.50Garden SaladField greens, tomato, roast peppers, olives, onions, giardiniera.$7.50Both items were worth every penny.Highly recommended and we will be back to start sampling the other items on their extensive menu.Give this gem a try, you won’t be disappointed.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp”

“Service and food good. If you have big party should be able to make reservations. Planned get together for old coworkers for 5 pm yesterday. Got there at 440 to get a table to accommodate all of us couldn’t be seated because I was only one there. Some came from out of town.”

“Went for the first time tonight and the food was incredible, as was the service. This margarita was the medium size and well worth the price. I got the shrimp fajitas and he got the chicken. All ingredients were fresh and delicious. We will be returning.”
