Typical menu with a rotating pancake of the month (similar to the Burger of the Month at the ownership groups other venture, Bull and Bear). They also have a bar as is the case in most new breakfast/brunch spots. I had a fretta and my partner a simple two eggs and bacon meal. My fretta was fine, nothing special. Expensive at 17.00 for a relatively small plate compared to local competition. My partner enjoyed theirs- said the bacon was not good though. Food came out super fast. Less than 10 minutes which was surprising to say the least. ~40 breakfast for two is expensive- especially when the food wasn't anything special.

The monthly specials all looked delicious, I'm excited to come back seasonally and see what they come up with! Plenty of space and seating, our server and other staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The 2 for 1 mimosa special was a great deal and a fun way to start my day. In addition to coffee drinks and standard beverages, they have cocktails. The lox Benedict served over potato pancakes was delicious enough to get again but I'll be trying something new next time since so many items caught my eye.

The place was packed because it was the weekend but we were able to sit pretty quickly because we don't mind sitting at the counter. The service was fine just again it was packed & the waitresses were trying their best so it took a little bit of time for some things but in a very realistic & understandable way. My meat lovers omelette was okay. It was kind of just an egg with a bunch of meat bits in pouring out which isn't bad. Again I know they were packed but just the tiniest bit more intention would have been appreciated on that plate. The cheesecake French toast special blew my flippin' mind. That was possibly the single best French toast I've ever had. The way the cheesecake element was incorporated was almost like a sauce poured over the French toast. The fresh strawberries, whipped cream & graham cracker dusting made me feel like I was eating a piece of cheesecake but in a whole new way. I would go back just if I knew that French toast was on special again.

I got there around 7:30AM and it was basically dead, but by the time I left, there was a steady line of folks coming in. Their menu has all the typicals that these places have, many things I enjoy. I tried their corned beef hash (which I requested well-done with jalapeños added), scrambled eggs with cheese, and I also got a side of their breakfast potatoes with sausage gravy on top. The food came out quickly and was piping hot & freshly made. The quantity of potatoes for a single side dish were HUGE! Definitely enough to share. The scrambled eggs were PERFECTLY made! I'm an egg snob, I never want any over-cooked egg visible (no brown) and these were perfectly colored and tasted great. The corned beef hash was good as well.

Altogether I was really pleased with my me. An added bonus was great service and decent prices.

This was the best diner breakfast I've had in a very long time. I'll get my one grouse, not a complaint, out of the way first. The rye bread didn't have seeds. But... The coffee was fresh ground. The pot emptied so fast it was always fresh brewed. I'm a weird coffee person, and that was the best cup out of a Bunn maker I've ever had. The scrambled eggs were properly cracked from the shell, not from a bucket. The sausage patty was made with a mild breakfast sausage, hand formed from loose sausage. Home fries were cooked on the grill with enough peppers and onions to qualify as a serving of vegetables. (My wife approved.) If that is not old school enough for you, the rye toast was grilled, not toasted. Service was great, and the coffee cup never was empty. The parking lot in back is small, so if you have a large vehicle do yourself a favor and park across the street. We went on a Sunday morning. The place was full, but tables turned over quickly enough that we didn't wait. One nice touch, the bowls for creamers and jam were Syracuse China. You have to love a diner that is home town proud. And the breakfast is so good it is worth the few minutes drive off the highway.

My mom and I went to have breakfast. We were not acknowledged as we stood waiting for a table. Once we did get the server's attention, she was abrupt and rude - not welcoming at all, waved us to table. As we were sitting there, a family came in and was shown to a table, given menus, asked if they wanted water. We got up and left. Btw, we are women of color and definitely felt discriminated against. Then we heard the same thing happened from a close family friend who is also a woman of color. If Dennys is going out of business, could this be one of the reasons why - especially in this day and age? REALLY?!?!??!? read more

We stopped in for breakfast and were welcomed with new decor. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there. We were seated within 5 minutes, but it took almost 40 minutes to get our food (The waitress did apologize for the long wait). The bacon was so thin you could read a newspaper through it and the sausages were very small. The small portion of home fries were under cooked and we each received a child's portion of scrambled eggs (It was supposed to be 2 eggs). What a huge disappointment. Only the toast, coffee, orange juice and pancakes were good. We got slammed. read more
