    Exterior of Copper Cricket, Hamilton, NY.
    Don W.

    We were delighted to come across this eatery. Years ago, there was a Copper Cricket in Binghamton that was a big favorite of ours. We had to stop for lunch. It's a remodeled Pizza Hut building, and done very attractively. We had a grilled chicken on focia bread and a tyrkey club sandwich. Both were delicious and plentyful. We had to take half of each home. The sandwiches came with a choice of sides. I had a passable potato salad, and Meg had steak fries she rated as very good. Ice water and lemonade were the drink choices. The lunch crowd at 1:30 pm was a packed house and our server worked hard to please everyone. The prices are on the lower side of upscale, but wecfeel that we got our money's worth. If you pass through the home of Colgate University, stop in. Who knows, your server just might be a leader of the 21st century.

    Omelette w/ (fresh) mushrooms, onions and provolone cheese, sourdough toast, breakfast potatoes plus a side of bacon.

    Food was incredible! Had an omelette with the delicious breakfast potatoes. Have also had the burger (delicious). Things I'd wish for: -open earlier so I could have breakfast before work. -open longer one or two nights/week so we have another dinner option in the area. -serve breakfast past 11. I keep missing out on the pancake flite.

    Ate here for breakfast and it was great. I got the breakfast scramble and the portion was huge! I could have ate it for 3 meals. All the other meals we had were also great. They have ice coffee not just hot which I love. The menu is huge with so many options. Service was quick and friendly! If I lived here I would frequent this place.

    New eating establishment in town and wanted to try it out. We went to have lunch there and decided on the waygu beef 1/2 lb with mushrooms, bacon and Swiss cheese with lettuce, tomato and onion with a side of Mac salad. Beef was tender and delicious. Side was very small. Service was good and restaurant very clean. Nice menu with alot of offerings. Will be back in the near future.

    Visiting from CT for a family memorial service early this morning and after being on the road for…read morehours and truly exhausted, was greeted by the friendliest of smiles by Amanda at the Front desk and then then pointed me to the restaurant. Upon entering The Tavern Inn, Shannon immediately offered a nice hot cup of coffee (which I soo needed). My husband and I came back for lunch and we were greeted by my morning g friend, Shannon, and Glenda at the bar, and we had the burger and fries which was so Juicy, tasty and awesome! We went back to the restaurant for dinner, and I personally requested Shannon as our waitress/server. Her smile is infectious and she helped me reclaim my favorite umbrella that I left behind earlier! For dinner, we ordered the Bavarian pretzel sticks as an appetizer (so yummy), and I had the cod special which was delicious and my husband had the mushroom cavatappi. Great recommendations for dinner....! This place is a gem! The staff is amazing, the food is awesome and reasonably priced, great ambiance, and the service matches the best of any 5 star restaurant. Will be back again when visiting family for sure. Highly recommended!! Marie C. Stratford, CT

    Had a frustrating experience with the restaurant staff. Arrived around 6:40 for dinner and asked…read morefor a table by the windows. The hostess told us that all five empty tables were reserved for a large group, then put us at a two-seater next to the kitchen door. We expected the tables to fill up at 7:00 but only one did. By 7:40, when we were paying the check, three of the tables were occupied. Obviously there was never a large group reservation, or even individual reservations. Asked to speak with the restaurant manager, and explained the situation. She admitted right away that the hostess probably did it for server convenience and not reservations. And she DID NOT CARE. She said I should have told her right away, and then she could have put us at a window table. Ummm...why would I initially think the hostess was lying to us about the tables being reserved? It wasn't until 7:30 rolled around that we knew for sure. This is not the way a seating request, or a customer complaint, should be handled. (8/20/2026)

A typical day of Frank food consists of mushy veggies, lots of chicken, rice of some sort, and some strange cold pasta salad. If you're looking for a nice date spot, this is the place. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive. There are lots of benches making the space feel super cozy. If you're lucky, on occasion, Frank puts on special dinners. Some highlights include Root Fest (all vegan dinner), Franksgiving, and Sunday brunch. I highly recommend trying the vegetable spring rolls. The burgers are always a solid option, Mac n cheese always slaps. Personally, my favorite stations are the yogurt and fruit bar, the coffee station (sometimes hit or miss), and obviously the ice cream station (personal fav is the soft-serve). This wouldn't be an in-depth review if I didn't highlight some of the pitfalls. Lines tend to be long during lunch and dinner hours. If you're looking for a quick in and out on the type lunch, you probably don't wanna go to Frank. There are limited to-go options besides breakfast items. However, this isn't to say that I don't spend hours in frank with my friends, typically eating about three dinners each. Seriously don't knock it until you try it, make a trip down to Frank dining hall and enjoy a lovely dinner, lunch, or quick breakfast with a friend. You will never go hungry at Frank, whether you enjoy your food ehhhh, and always remember if you are ever constipated, Frank can help with that. When asked "What is your favorite thing about Frank?" Students anonymously respond: "I love the people watching and social environment that it creates" -Anonymous student 1. "The French fries" -Anonymous student 2. Only thing missing is late night Frank.

The menu is a mix of a chophouse with a large selection of chef selections from paella, pasta and schnitzel. The chef is a CIA graduate which is surprising to find in Central NY. The food was fresh and i noted that the chef makes his own bread, dressing, aioli's and desserts. It's clear the chef puts care into his work. We ordered - house salad - solid salad with house dressing. nice, nothing crazy - onion soup, this was excellent. really well done, from the croutons, cheese and flavor. wow - calamari - the only thing we didnt love - chicken schnitzle - excellent, authentic - scallops - fresh, perfectly cooked. a bit too sauced, but great - creamy garlic and spinach pasta - our kids didnt love, but decent The desserts were great as well. The restaurant was very accommodating to our casual attire and 3 young kids. Amazingly kind. The entire experience is a bit like going back in time, the historic nature of the setting is hard to explain, but you really feel it.

    New changes are... weird…read more We've come here so many times over the years and almost always had a great experience. Sometimes the place is busy and the service is slow because of it, but the food is always good, and I get that it's a learning environment for students, so: be patient, folks. But now the management has changed the whole experience. They've cut back the serving staff to only TWO people, closed the downstairs room altogether, and taken out tables so that there are only 2 booths and 2 four-tops, plus the bar. Their FB page now says "reservations only" but they don't even have an online system so you can see what dates are free. You have to call to talk to one of those belabored *two* people who are covering the entire room. I'm guessing they're also the ones answering the phones for take-out, too. How is this "enhancing [my] dining experience" exactly? To be fair, the food is still good and the two ladies working the night we were there are great and gave us great service. But the room feels spookily empty with so few tables. Plus the idea of being guilted into calling for mandatory reservations? Who does that?! Disappointing management decision that does a disservice to all the hardworking people who work here, and to their loyal customers too. Not sure when we'll be back again, now.
