It took a bit of time to get our food, but once I realized that it was cooked to order I understood the wait. Then once I saw the portions I thought..."bonus". Then once I took my first bite I forgot about the wait time and was like oh hell yea!!!! Large crispy moist and FULL of flavor chicken. I did not specifically drive here from Marcellus to eat here...but as good as it was I could see making the drive from Marcellus just for this chicken. Total FAN...

The "popular" cheese pull mozz planks taste microwaved and have zero cheese pull. Dave's sauce leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is a far cry from hits like Zaxbys sauce. There is absolutely zero reason to order from Dave's given the shear number of other chicken places in the area. You could literally get better service, better quality and better prices at any other place. There's just no way you see this chicken and say "yeah I'd absolutely want to order this again"

Cicero, NY welcomes Poundtown, newly opened in the Aldi Plaza (5962 Rt. 31) near CNS High School, and it is definitely worth a visit. It's easy to drive right by this plaza and never know this treasure is there, but don't miss it! I ordered the Double Trouble Smash Burger with cheese ($15), and it was incredibly tasty. The patties had that perfect crispy edge you want in a great smash burger. It was served on a wonderfully soft roll and loaded with perfectly melted cheese, fat pickle slices, and sweet caramelized onions. You get a choice of signature sauces (Classic or Classic with a Cajun kick)--I chose the Classic, and it was delicious! My burger came paired with a generous side of crispy, fresh, hand-cut fries. Turnaround time from counter ordering to table delivery was remarkably brief. While the signature burgers range from $16-$18, they have at least 10 different burgers on the menu alongside plenty of other options. You can find chicken, mac bowls, salad bowls, and loaded fries ($8-$10). A friend of mine who was eating there at the same time highly recommends the onion rings, too! Unexpected Plus: When I entered the cozy space, I was delighted to discover that Pound Town shares its location with Big Fellas Hibachi & Tacos and they serve a multi-page menu of delights including tacos, burritos, egg rolls, wings, and even steak or lamb plates! Definitely looking forward to sampling their menu soon. Regardless of which vendor you are visiting, the cozy room has a few booths for dining-in, even though the setup seems primarily geared for takeout. The quality of the food, the diverse variety, and the convenient location make this a absolute must-try spot. I will definitely be back! P.S. Sorry for no pictures! I was really hungry and the burger looked so good that the photo completely slipped my mind!

I had to go with the special burger of the month: the Backyard Banger. Everything about it was delicious. My wife had the Mac Bowl Classic Tenders and her mother enjoyed the other burger of the month: the El Jefe. Everyone left satisfied and I was praised for my choice. The building is a bit on the cramped side. It's a small place with a few tables and bar seating. Two restaurants occupy the same space and they definitely are going for that "hole-in-the-wall" feel, but in a good way. No pound cake here though.

It is named for the man who invented the Cornell College BBQ sauce as well as the chicken nugget! Their BBQ chicken is like nothing you have tasted anywhere else due to that special sauce/marinade. I am not talking about that "red sauce" that a lot of people associate with the word bbq, it is more of a savory marinade. I recommend getting at least the 1/4 chicken, and the salt potatoes are a Syracuse must have. They are small potatoes perfectly brined then soaked in butter that date back to the 1800s salt miner industry here. Everything is tender and perfectly cooked. Prices are reasonable! Stop by here at least once during the fair, you'll find them on restaurant row in the same iconic building, sandwiched between the colliseum/horse barns/ and sheep barn.

It was a nice comfortable feel indoors with a cute outdoor patio. There were two steps to the dining area so it was a bit difficult for my parents to navigate with limited mobility, but doable. The food tasted really good. The only improvement would be to make the yolk more runny on the eggs benedict and the potatoes were SUPER crispy. They could have cooked a touch less but all in all very tasty and good portions. The potato cake on the benny was crispy on the outside and creamy inside. The dijon on the croque sandwich was the perfect sharpness to cut through the rich cheese and bechamel. The carmelized cook on the breakfast skillet veggies was nice, and the bacon was perfect. The best cook on bacon I have had when going out to eat.

I ordered the garlic rice and wings (bourbon sauce), mac and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. I was excited because I had read good things on this very site. However, I was a bit disappointed. The star of the meal was the garlic rice which was admittedly delicious- would certainly get this again. The wings were also okay. I would go with a different sauce next time, and for anyone wondering they are breaded wings. The mac and cheese was not good. Incredibly bland and not warm. Would not recommend. The fried green tomatoes weren't very crispy by the time I got them home and ate them, which is surprising because they ripped vent holes in the styrofoam container to combat this. Not inedible, just not very good. Overall was pretty disappointed with my experience, definitely willing to go back though, so hopefully it changes!

Very fresh.

A friend and I came here late one Friday night (around 7PM) for wings on a snowy night. The place…read morewas busy with take-out orders, and several groups were sitting at tables. It was loud, cramped, and a bit dark inside, which reminded me of a bar setting even though it wasn't at all set up like one. It was also cold, because every time the front door opened a cold breeze blew in. We ordered 30 bone-in wings and two drinks and it was over $50. I guess that is how it goes. The wings varied in size from normal to huge. No tiny wings in the bunch, and they were a good mix of flats and drumsticks. We got Buffalo, Barbecue, and Hawaiian flavors. I never got to try the Buffalo but the other two flavors were good. However, they were smothered in sticky sauce which got cloying after awhile and completely rendered your fingers disgusting. A roll of paper towels at the counter helped, though I had to go back after every couple of wings for more. The Hawaiian had a strong ginger flavor which was different and enjoyable. However, in sum I think they need to use less sauce in the future. Drinks were via the all-in-one soda machine that seems to have a million flavors on tap. It is right by the door and the area was crowded, so getting to the machine wasn't easy. It was fun to go out for wings, though it wasn't cheap. I rarely eat wings anymore so I can't say if the prices were fair or not, but they were good wings.

Ewwww! Poor service…read more- I walked in to an empty store with several workers in the kitchen. I stood looking at them occasionally glancing my way while they busily prepared orders. Despite my standing under the PLACE ORDER HERE sign for greater than 6 minutes no one ever acknowledged my presence. I suppose one of the workers felt me staring a hole in his back so he turned around and our eyes met. I gestured to the cash register and the sign with a questioning expression. His sassy response was "Just a minute ma'am. There's only one person that works the register" Questionable food handling - as I waited for my order I watched EVERY SINGLE WORKER touch the order screen then handle the food with their bare hands. I even witnessed an incident where Mr. Only Cashier picked up a packed order bag, opened it, took out 2 orders of fries covered them with his whole bare hand and transferred them to a different order bag. He then sealed the 1st order back up, put on the shelf where it was, and got back to it. Two important takeaways: there is a sign posted about how serious they take hand washing Mr. Only Cashier did get some hand foam on a dispenser before he took my order. But he didn't get any on the return trip to the kitchen. 10/10 would not recommend!
