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!

Our server, Micaela, made up for the horrible service we had at Tully's. She was the best server that we had in a long time. She was very personable and attentive. We ordered the buffalo wings, stone fired wings, pepperoni pizza, grilled blackened salmon, and chicken Milanese. Everything was delicious. The chicken Milanese came with 2 huge chicken breasts under a delicious salad. I was able to take home one of the chicken breasts and made chicken parm the next night.

We were Looking for breakfast places in the area while passing through to the finger lakes. There were mostly cafes and bakeries open around 10ish and not much was open for breakfast especially on a Monday. The place is plain and decor is dated. Reminds me of the local diners growing up in the Queens NY area. Prices are great especially during these times! Eggs Benidict and home fries were just what I wanted and got, hot and fresh. No fuss no fluff or fancy menu here. Straight up solid diner food. Staff seemed to all be on the same page and kept the orders flowing from the grill. If you are budget no frills kinda of diner this is your spot! 5 stars for what they are they do well!!!

Our server name was Dawn, we both ordered the fish dinner mine I got fried, which came with the salad bar. Before our meal came we both decided to have a salad(lettuce, tomato, cheese and croutons). After our 1 bowl of salad our food comes. MY FISH WAS HORRIBLE!!! It was so soggy and mushy...just gross, I've never had fried fish that was mushy, it taste like they soaked it in water for forever. So while my husband sat and ate his grilled fish I had nothing to eat because my waitress decided to go on a cigarette break after she dropped our food off. About 20 min later she finally returns and I tell her what's wrong with my food, and ask her if she can just take it off(since I didn't eat any of it) and just charge me for the bowl of salad. Ms Dawn decided instead of changing me for the 1 bowl of salad I had, she was going to charge me $10 for the entire salad bar. I didn't have pasta, or soup or anything else...just 1 bowl of salad. $10.50 for 1 bowl of lettuce with tomatoes cheese and croutons. Such a RIP OFF!!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN...WARNING THEY ARE A RIP OFF!!! DONT GO!!!

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
