This place used to be one of the staples of the Oswego community. It was a family business, and…read morebeing run by family, they paid special attention to the little things. Teresa did the hiring, and she took special care to make sure that the people she hired were personable and friendly. Since this business has changed hands, that service is a thing of the past. The people simply are not as friendly, and to me it's a totally different place. Yesterday I asked them to cut me a steak because I wanted one that was thicker than the ones they had on display. It was only about 4:30 and they do not close until 8:00. They told me that they had already cleaned their saw so they could not cut a steak. That would've never happened under the old ownership. They went out of their way for customer service. I really hoped that it was just some growing pains, but it's been long enough and things aren't getting better. If the new owners don't get a handle on things I'm afraid they're going to lose a lot of business. They've lost mine.

A tasty new deli spot in Oswego. Stopped here on an afternoon out shopping in the city. Ended up…read moregetting one of the pressed sandwiches, it was really solid, had some great flavor. Serves Boar's Head meat, which is always tasty and a reliable option. Sandwiches had a solid amount of meat on them too. Some spicy mustard on the sandwich which was also really tasty (and not too much to drown on the sandwich). Sadly, they didn't have a soup when I visited, but it sounds like they are homemade, always a plus. Sandwiches were a little bit pricey at $8 a piece, but they did come with chips and a pickle. I'd certainly come back, a real solid addition to Oswego!

Neither of the latter two sandwiches were made properly, both missing onion and extra hot sauce. Beyond that, the order was not left in the area where online orders are usually left so we had to wait more time than was necessary to receive our orders. As with Riverwalk Coffee, I understand it was busy today but if something as simple as a few extra customers can upset the balance there so easily, I imagine either more people need to be working there or perhaps less people who crack so easily under pressure.

If you're looking for a classic summer experience, Rudy's Drive-In in Oswego is worth the stop…read more This old-school, à la carte drive-in sits right on the shores of Lake Ontario, and the setting alone makes it special. The lake views are beautiful, peaceful, and the perfect backdrop for a casual meal. One unique touch I loved was that they provide paper bags to cover your food when you're eating outside, a clever way to keep the seagulls from swooping down and stealing your meal! Inside, it's exactly what you'd expect from a traditional drive-in. The staff was friendly, efficient, and kept the line moving quickly. Plenty of parking with some space across the street too. Cleanish restrooms. One thing to know if you have food allergies, specifically a shellfish allergy, and they use shared fryers, so I couldn't safely order anything fried. I really appreciated their honesty and transparency. Between the friendly service, gorgeous waterfront location, and nostalgic atmosphere, Rudy's is a classic place that's easy to recommend.

After 80 years on the shore of Lake…read moreOntario, Rudy's carries a lot of lore opened by Rudy Gadziala and his wife Marie in 1946, now run by third-generation owner Jason Livesey, famous for its Texas hot sauce and the founder's old line about owning a "million dollar hot dog stand." Online reviews are all over the map, so we wanted to see for ourselves. We visited recently with our 7- and 8-year-old nephews, hoping to soak up the tradition. The reality was more transactional. The hostess took our order while sipping her own beverage likely why we were shorted an order of fries. Nice enough, but not especially professional or welcoming. The whole operation moves fast; the staff is determined and task-focused rather than friendly. You get a buzzer and wait. The interior was renovated in 2025, and it shows but not in a good way. The bright white walls and green banquettes feel sterile, more fast-casual chain than 80-year-old lakeside institution. In modernizing, they stripped out whatever nostalgia the old space had and put nothing back. Some local artwork, vintage photos, or lake history on those fresh white walls would go a long way. The food: the boys enjoyed their cheeseburgers, and the fries are genuinely good. The fish sandwich was generously sized but bland the batter had little flavor, and the tartar sauce didn't rescue it. For a place with an 80-year reputation built on fish, I expected more. The lobster mac and cheese left a lot to be desired. The tab: four drinks, two cheeseburgers with fries, lobster mac, and a fish sandwich with fries came to nearly $70 steep for a lakeside stand where fries alone run $5.25. The setting is lovely and the legacy is real. But sometimes generational ownership slips down a slick slope and making money starts to matter more than making memories.
