    the bone bucket! ribs and chicken! with mashed potatoes gravy and cottage cheese
    Mister X.

    so this isn't too bad of a little place far upstate new york. so far, there's actually a Mexico on the other side of the freeway. came in yesterday and sat for a little bit, went and took care of business, and came back for the night because of the location and access to a restaurant. if you've never been to upstate New York before, it's the complete opposite of what you think New York would be. the people here are nice, happy, and polite. I first came in last night, and noticed that even though this is very rural, the restaurant was packed. all ages all types of people. I sat at the bar (even though I don't think they serve alcohol) and took a gander at the menu. they have paper place mats with all local businesses advertising so they're very community oriented. they were so busy last night, I think they only had three servers and they were running around like chickens with no heads. there's a sign that says that it's not a fast food place, and to be patient because every order is cooked / made to order. so the food. I ordered fried ravioli as an appetizer, and then I ordered the bucket of Bones. my only disappointment in this place so far is that my toasted raviolis sat in the back and were sort of cold when they came out, and I understand, cuz the servers were just that busy but it wasn't a great way to start off my meal. I ordered the bucket of bones, which is four baby back ribs, and three pieces of fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and cottage cheese. they came out piping hot, and delicious. oh and the portion size? really good size portions. I even had enough to bring back with me to eat today. they even gave me a soda to go. I came back in for breakfast this morning, and they actually have a breakfast buffet! and get this! you can even get the breakfast buffet to go. so you could basically load up your plastic tray as full as you could and walk out with 30 bucks worth of food for only $14.99! but I didn't go that route. as my pictures show, I had a southern style eggs benedict which the description is in the picture. they have a very good size and diverse menu, for all meals. my breakfast portion size was perfect, and, guess what? they even gave me coffee to go! the food is good, service is good, and I love the fact that they're so community-oriented, they even know their customers on a first name basis. and today, along with probably every other weekend day, they're having an open pit barbecue starting at 11:30 a.m. until I think they close, serving up brisket, pork ribs, and chicken. so if I get hungry, again today, I'm definitely going to hit that. if you're driving through this part of upstate, and looking for a place to eat, this is the place to go!

    A large diner nestled amongst a truck stop and gas station. Stopped here on my way from Salmon River Falls to Oswego. True to it's name, this family restaurant offers an array of items on its children's menu. I was traveling with a friend and her 4 children and they were absolutely enthralled by their pizza, chicken fingers, and spaghetti. The 6 year old loved her spaghetti so much that she said "This is so good, it must be a 5 star restaurant!" Additionally, Wednesdays when kids eat free (with purchase of an adult entree, so I know my friend will be back). As for the adult menu, it was classic diner fare (salad, burgers, appetizers, assorted dinner entrees). As a vegetarian, there were very limited options, so I opted to create my own salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, 5 additional toppings, and dressing for $8.99). I chose my 5 toppings and was only served 3 and salad was missing onions. I was offered a substitution for a 4th topping, and the 5th I just gave up on asking for because the server seemed overwhelmed by our group. Of the ordered toppings, One was broccoli, which I assumed would be raw for the salad, but was served warm steamed broccoli; this is strange to me. I also got a topping of mushrooms, which I also thought would be raw, but were clearly just from a can. None of this is a deal breaker, just odd. It is clear they used to have an active salad bar pre-covid based on photos and the empty salad bar relic in the middle of the diner, so again, I'm just not sure if they used to serve canned mushrooms and cooked broccoli on their salad bar station. I also got a side of spaghetti and sauce ($2.99- which is a great price). The sauce tasted like that came out of a can too. None of this was problematic enough for me to complain. I ate my food and kept it moving. However, I want future Patrons to know what they're getting themselves into.

    Very fluffy ham and cheese omelette with sourdough bread. Two eggs over easy with home fries and sourdough bread.

    The food was pretty good. The place was not quite filled up yet for we are such early birds. The waitress was very friendly. They still have some of the old fixtures on the wall where they used to have a telephone so the truck drivers could call to their next station. It was cute.

    Half-order Fretta.

    You know, their breakfasts are huge, so I ordered a half order Fretta. Even a half-order was plentiful. I highly recommend!!!

    On a recent trip to visit a local antique market in Pulaski- we stopped by the Lakeside Restaurant…read morefor a bite to eat and wow, were we pleasantly surprised! Seemingly in the middle of rural upstate NY is this gem of a restaurant. The server and everyone on the staff that interacted with us were simply lovely! Kind, helpful and joyful. I ordered a turkey melt with onion rings, and my friend had a burger with fried which she claimed was one of the best she had eaten in a long time. Accompanied by "sassy sauce" our fries and onion rings were dipped in this delightful yet spicy accoutrement! My turkey melt was delicious- carved turkey- not slimy cold cuts, cheese and banana peppers were a perfect and delectable combination on lightly toasted bread- simply marvelous! For desert- and they are all lovingly homemade, I had a mixed berry pie with ice cream and my friend had a slice of Dutch apple pie! Both equally and fabulously delicious! We left stuffed to the gills and so glad that we turned the truck around to try this hidden gem! Don't pass it up- stop by- it's worth it!

    After a very long wait, breakfast was mostly undercooked. Runny eggs. Potato mushy. And the…read moreworse was the rubber bands undercooked bacon. The "hash" was 30% onions and smothered in cooking oil. Toast was good though. The place wasn't busy and it took 40 minutes to get food, and order was incomplete. Finally, a few folks walked in 15 minutes after me, and were known by name. They were served and ate before my food arrived undercooked. I guess you need to be local for decent service?

    The Lakeside Restaurant - Don't judge this place by its outside appearance.  Terrific menu, great service.  The food was homemade, fresh and very good.
