    If you like a Rueben sandwich and onion rings. This is the place for you. The place has a classic diner feel to it. With fast service and good food.

    Early bird special.

    Old time diner serving up traditional diner food. They offer a typical diner menu which was solid and served by efficient staff. It was actually quite busy when I was there and appears to be a local favorite.

    Absolutely on all counts. It's an excellent place, great food friendly staff. Very very clean place. Thank you to Steve and Toni for turning us on to this gem of a place.

    A very cute and quaint diner. We found this gem on our Niagra Falls trip and were quite content with our food. I'd definitely stop here again if I found myself out in the area.

I had home fries, two eggs over easy, corned beef hash, and Italian toast. Both meals with one soda and a tall glass of chocolate milk was $39. Nothing left on our plates and happily full says it all! They have real hot sauce Franks Red Hot not Tabasco thank you, pancakes are New Hope Mills big and fluffy, and offer several jams and jelly too. Can't say enough about how good it is. Don't miss out on this one! Forgot to mention they also serve lunch and Fridays have fish fry!! Lots of choices and gluten free options too.

    There are certain things by which I judge a restaurant's suitability for me. One thing I look for…read morein a breakfast/lunch eatery is their bisquets and gravy. Another is their home fries. At Long Last knocked booth of those out of the park. The best c&b I can ever recall eating, and excellent home fries. The fries were unique to my experience. They were a generous portion of small potatoes, sliced and fried to perfection. My companions decided upon breakfast sandwiches. A ham and cheese bagel for one lady and a steak and cheese bagel for the other. Both came with scrambled eggs on the sandwich, and one lady had peppers and onions (steak) on hers. Both proclaimed their fare to be excellent. Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. The staff members were very helpful. The foʻd came quickly and was served piping hot. You'll be pleased with the open layout and total cleanliness of this restaurant. If it's brunch for you, an assortment of stylized coffees and alcoholic beverages are available. The menu is e x t e n s i v e! You'll find what you want and enjoy it in a relaxed atmosphere. The prices are average for the area. There are many places to dine in the Skaneateles/Auburn area, but I'm eating here. Enjoy!

    This place is such a wonderful addition to the Auburn breakfast scene!…read moreWe came in around 9:40 on a Sunday. There weren't any tables but we were fine sitting at the bar. The Dubai chocolate latte had a wonderful pistachio flavor to it. There wasn't as much cream/ foam as most lattes that I've had, but it was still tasty. The avocado toast was a lot larger/ filling than I thought it would be. The balsamic drizzle was perfect on it and the bread was excellent. We loved the flavor of the gravy on the biscuits and gravy. Again, generous portion and the biscuits were nice and flaky. The Dutch Apple French toast was a great recommendation from the bar tender. I love the cinnamon in the bread and it was all not too sweet... definitely did not need the optional maple syrup. The ambience is fresh and light and the service was pleasant. Would love to return!

What I did know is that I preferred not to dine at a chain restaurant. Low and behold, I took a right turn and ended up Mattie Street, and to my left was a very unassuming green "house." Once I approached and read the sign, I realized it was a restaurant. The welcome sign stating that this was a farm to table establishment was all I needed to convince me to walk in. Upon entering Roseadah's, I instantly felt very comfortable. This eatery has a very laid-back, cozy vibe that I particularly enjoyed. My family and I were the only ones dining at the time, so I had the opportunity to truly soak in this lovely eatery. The ladies who assisted us were both so very wonderful. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who's also the amazing chef, and her personality alone won me over! Now, on to the food. Delicious, scratch made appetizers and entrees. I enjoyed every bite! Not only did we enjoy our meals while there, we also decided to order some food to take home for dinner. My personal favorite was their duck bacon wontons, so good! We also drooled over their freshly breaded mozzarella sticks. (we are fried cheese fanatics). When you visit, definitely do yourself a favor and order those appetizers before your main meal. If I didn't have a reason to return to Auburn, I certainly do now.

As always, it is a great environment with dining room, patio or sunroom options. Wine or beer only, and wine prices are quite reasonable.

For an entree I had shrimp scampi, garlicky and lemony and fabulous with a plethora of Large shrimp. We had to order dessert to share since they had coconut custard pie. Out of this world.

The food itself was good, I ordered the garlic and brie bruschetta and a tenderloin. My partner got a tenderloin as well as crab cakes. I went in a party of six, and to be honest was not very impressed with the service. Of the 5 tenderloins for our table not a single one was the correct doneness, some of our party didnt recieve an appetizer so we had to remind them. Glasses sat on our table until the end of the meal, and we waited for our check for over 30minutes whilst we could see the staff standing on thier phones in the back. It was a little awkward.

Perfect spot for a burger type summer…read moreSaturday dinner and perhaps a little ice cream... how ever... we my friend and I are in our late 60's so have been around the block... so I'll be brief. Initially we were ignored by all employees, waited way too long to order as they seemed to all be engaged mostly talking to one another... food: once we got it, was horrible... French fries were cold and soggy. Burger was kinda messy, the lettuce was wilted from being under a heat lamp way too long. chicken sando likewise and everything seemed out of the box (Sysco reheat house) no condiments, no napkins or service ware.. when ketchup was sought a few "packet" were offered. The staff seemed to be preoccupied with each other with no one knowing what even bad service was... tried for an ice cream... ordered a cup and a small cone... dismissed to the "other window" upon paying where a unidentified cup was sitting with no apparent service ware available. I asked for a spoon and the counter creature barked there were sooon right in "front of you". There was a container above eye level with I guess had a few spoons at the bottom but since I had forgotten my x-ray goggles, I was unable to see the two spoons... then watching a young ice cream ... ahh tech, I suppose, struggle with the soft serve machine, but she did have a roughly 1 foot high cone and soft serve combo and she was trying to secure some help with this endeavor, I asked if that would be my small twist? At which time the excited gaggle of gathered counter kids all chortled "yes... that's our small!!!" OMG what a waste of marketing effort... no one over 15 needs that much ice cream... and it was a small... I refused it and asked for a reasonable sized portion to which they, the aforementioned gaggle said you want our kiddie portion... I agreed to that size but this could have been avoided if the had some sort of size posted. Over all it was a horrible customer service experience... management has zero clue what or how a fast dining experience should be. As a side note they recently upgraded the pos and need help adapting to the system. But none of our issues were related to that... it was a series of lost opportunities to show that anyone cared about what or how they should treat a guest along with old poorly packaged food that sat way to long. Incidentally there is zero reasons to have BAD French Fries with all the superior products available I will not be back!

Not a large menu, but it has all the basics, hamburger , cheeseburger, hot dog, chicken sandwich, tenders, salads and 3 sides.... fries, onion rings and fried mozzarella. They had two specials.... sausage peppers and onions and philly cheese steak. We ordered inside and they brought it outside to our tables. Everyone enjoyed their choices. My hamburger was fresh and cooked well....lettuce, tomato and pickles finished the perfect flavor profile. The fries were thin, hot and crispy. The onion rings were a standout, with a beautiful crunch maybe from cornmeal in the batter. They have several sauces for dipping. The ice cream treats were prepared beautifully and were delicious. My root beer float hit the spot, milkshakes were creamy and rich, the sundaes were packed full. Service was amazing. Everyone was smiling and friendly and helpful. Everyone, including the owner Seb, worked so hard to make sure we were happy with the food and everything else. Just a note....their credit card machine does not have a place to leave a tip(I was surprised) but I left them cash as they worked so hard and deserved it. .
