Everyone there was super friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed watching the cooks cook on the griddle. The omelettes and pancakes were absolutely huge! I ordered the SOS with Home fries. It was super tasty. This is a super great place to go get some l breakfast or lunch in Syracuse.

The owners were wonderful! I introduced myself and asked to know about the history of the restaurant and how it came about. After that, I went right into the menu. Cajun food in upstate?!?! Yes, please!!!! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with hush puppies. DANG! Beyond good and the sandwich was huge. Had more than enough for dinner later that day. I will definitely be returning to On The Fly to enjoy their incredible food and to support this awesome mother and son establishment and so should you.

Breakfast is probably my favorite meal to go out to a restaurant to eat. We've been trying some new…read morespots we've never tried before recently because we always like trying new places. We tried The All Night Egg Plant a week or so ago & had a lovely time. The spot is a little hard to find depending on which direction you're coming into the plaza from. They're tucked away a little towards the back of the plaza but once you see it- you can't miss it. The staff were really nice & we were able to get seated quickly. They had a variety of tables & a counter space. We've sat in both areas & had good service both times. I really liked the omelette I had the first time we went but I really loved the last plate that we got which was a fantastic mix of everything you could think of to eat for breakfast. I'm looking forward to our next visit because I'd like to try something on the sweeter side.

Food-It didn't taste authentic…read more Service was nice Ambiance was ok The only issue I had was that where I was sitting o was able to watch the cook prepare the food.Whole the cook was waiting for the next order,The cook had on gloves and she put them in a bucket of water to grab a rag to wipe down the counter.When my order was ready to be told to the cook ,The cook then use the same gloves to grab parts of my meal out the freezer to throw on grill and that's when I called my server to tell them to tell the cook I seen what she did with the gloves and I need her to change them. She instantly changed them but she already touched my food.So from there I didn't feel comfortable to eat from the restaurant. I still paid for my food and I still tipped the waiter because it wasn't her fault. I'm very disappointed that I saw what the cook did.Hopefully that cook could learn proper cooking etiquette. I wouldn't revisit!

The regulars are the regulars which is so nice to see because it reminds me of going out to breakfast with my dad & my papa growing up. It's a small place in a great way that you hear the buzz of conversations, your coffee gets topped off on the regular, you can hear them making the meals in the kitchen. We've gone for many a meal but this last one I had took the cake. It was homemade chicken biscuits & gravy that I devoured as soon as they set my plate down. We've had many a breakfast & lunch there that we've had a variety of great things- kielbasa breakfast, breakfast sandwiches, club sandwiches, hotdogs, the list goes on. My boyfriend also likes to get a slice of pie every now & again because they're all homemade. You have to make sure you get there early or order the pie first sometimes though because once it's gone it's gone. A great place that's worth the wait if there is one. Also every day is better if you get Maryanne as a server. Absolutely fantastic person.

Be sure to leave room for a slice of pie, always a delicious addition to a meal.

We also ordered the sweet potato fries, haddock special, fried pickles, and wings, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Bonus points for having a jukebox--it added to the vibe. We'll definitely be back!
