I'm visiting from Sacramento, heading north, and my friends down in the city said I had to stop in…read moreBinghamton for a spiedie. They did not do me wrong. A spiedie, (pronounced "speedy", ) famous in Binghamton, is simply a marinated chicken sandwich on a roll. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. I ordered a 6 inch sandwich. They have several different styles, but I simply went with the original. Oh, my, I can see why this sandwich has such a following. The sesame seed roll was tender, and oh the chicken... it was chock full of chicken, It was moist, it was tender, and yes, it was marinated very well. I don't know what they use, but it was just absolutely an amazing sandwich. A simple 6 inch sandwich, and I was stuffed. A sandwich and a soda, and I was 10 bucks and change out the door. Extremely reasonable. Thank you so much!

Don't even get me started on how much I LOVE Spiedie and Rib Pit!…read more As a Binghamton native, this place is a must every time I'm back in town. They are my personal favorite place in the area to get spiedies. They remodeled this old Pizza Hut building and moved across the parking lot into it a few years back, and their efforts definitely paid off. It can get quite busy in here, but the seating area is cozy, spacious, and comfortable enough to accommodate the traffic. Even when it is crazy busy, the staff does a wonderful job of keeping the line moving and getting your order to you in a timely manner. And the food is always delicious! If you're visiting Binghamton, you have to stop here to try some fantastic spiedies made the right way!

Rolled into this location by accident. I didn't realize they had another location, so I was…read moresurprised to see the item I had planned to order (Ciabatta Bing) wasn't on the menu. Much more limited to just Spiedie sandwiches, pita or sub style (SM and LG) plus a few fried options. All good. I had the Spiedissimo (peppers, onions and provolone) with their incredible chicken. It was messy (oily), but so damn good. Piping hot and eaten at a small table. Super friendly people working hard. Big parking lot on a very busy road. Most likely, a U-turn in your future for this spot if you are coming off the highway. Clean interior and bathroom too. I need to hit up Front Street the next time for that Bing!

Good pizza when you order the round. Don't bother with the sheet(it's ok but not the show stopper)…read more Nirchi's or Pudgies for sheet pizza. If you want a round pizza that is hand tossed this is in the running as one of the better places in Binghamton. Depends on how you like the tossed NY style round pizza. This has good crust, good sauce, and good cheese. You aren't going here for customer service or the dine in experience(unless you are a local). The place is a bit of a hole. Generally dusty with flour or whatever. The staff aren't trained to provide a great customer experience. Weirdly enough the general loose feeling has its own charm. Adjust your expectations - this is a small town pizza shop with no ambition to be more. Get the round pizza to go and you will be a happy camper. Solid loyal local customer base with long time history of quality food.

Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

A late Saturday lunch took us to this restaurant that we'd not been to in several years. The…read morefirstvthing we noticed was that it hadn't changed. Somehow, that's comforting. We were seated and brought beverages right away. The menu is quite extensive so we took awhile to decide on our fare. Meg went for the "Thanksgiving Special" which was a turkey sandwich with all the expected T-Day fixings. Shevhad a tossed saladcwith it, and she loved her meal which she accompanied with a nice Chardonnay. I opted for their Steak Tostada, which is served on a pair of fried tortilla shells. It was fresh and delicious, and washed down with a tall Root Beer. Our server was very busy but managed us enough attention so as to meet our needs very well. California Grill leans toward a surfer flavor which we love. It's very ckean and nicely decorated in their theme's style. The prices are well within a family budget range, and you get your money's worth. I definately recommend it for any hungry person or group. Stop by and enjoy.

Okay so having already eaten in a lot of random places in the Vestal area we decided to look for…read moresomewhere new. This place isn't necessarily new but we haven't been there before so we figured we would try it. The service was good, I mean nothing outstanding but the waitress was attentive and made sure everything was okay with us. The restaurant itself was also nice inside. No random tables with dirty dishes or anything like that... And now on to the food... I had a burger, it was a specialty burger but I can't remember what it was as it's been a couple weeks. I do recall it had a slice of pineapple on it which was the reason I ordered it because I like pineapple. It was cooked to perfection the way I ordered it, & it was a pretty good burger. Nothing fancy nothing special but I would order it again next time I'm there. My wife had I believe it was a fried cheesecake for dessert and I had the carrot cake once again both of them tasted fine, my only observation that I would possibly change is the piece of carrot cake in my opinion could have been a little larger. And for my wife's entree. She had the jumbo half chicken. Oh my gosh this tasted freaking incredible. Apparently they smoke these half chickens on the premises every morning and they are doing it perfectly The Smoky flavor on this was in no way overpowering and the entire chicken had the flavor throughout. I know I mentioned above that I would order that burger again but actually probably not, when my wife and I go back here (notice I said when and not if) we are most likely both going to order the chicken There isn't too much of a chance either one of us will finish this chicken for lunch as it is indeed a jumbo size, however we took home what she didn't finish, I made some chicken salad out of it for sandwiches and holy crap, the best chicken salad I have ever prepared. The whole experience kind of makes me want to go out and buy a smoker however I'm not convinced I could duplicate the flavor that this had without questioning them a little bit as to exactly how they prepared it and if I were them I wouldn't answer me because why let me make this at home when I'll keep coming back and buying it from them. I believe the price for this particular chicken was $15, and I'm thinking it comes with a side which I'm also thinking is probably about the price you would pay these days if you stopped at a random Firehouse when they were cooking chicken outside and you grabbed a half with a couple sides. This one is better though
