It tends to be a popular spot, as evidenced by the parking lots on each side of the gravel road. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded on the Wednesday night that we arrived. It looked deceptively smaller on the outside to me. As we came in, we went up a few stairs and there was an extension we decided to sit at so that we would be able to have a little more space and less volume for privacy so we could catch up. It was pretty dark compared to the other area, which I prefer. Once we were seated, we were provided with menus and glasses of ice water. Our server was better than excellent. She gave an overview of the menu choices, which included burgers, wings, entrees, and a fantastic choice of appetizers. Our relatives went with a warm pretzel, which came out hung on a stand with 2 kinds of dip, beer cheese and I think a plain cheese, and mustard. We had a mixed appetizer dish which included chicken tenders and onion rings (I forget the other items, so much food.) These were typical pub fare, with 3 different dips you choose from idk how many total. Speaking of sauces to choose from, there must have been 30 or more on the list for wings and anything else you want it with. You'll notice that the prices are very odd, like $17.12 or $13.16. I regret not asking what the story is with that. Most of us went with burgers, which were 1/2 pound patties on beautiful, soft, shiny buns. I had the bourbon burger, which had a delicious sauce, crispy onions, bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. I could not finish this thing. I love that NY state lets you have your burger cooked to your choice of doneness, so I was extra happy to enjoy mine medium rare. I got my usual fries for my side, which were par the course if too salty for me. My daughter built her own burger as an option, which she also loved but couldn't finish. My husband's wings were enormous, as was the order of mac and cheese our cousin had. Our server was practically telepathic as she anticipated when we needed refills or other incidental. I love that this place lets you buy the staff a pitcher of beer to show appreciation. Idk when they drink it or how they share, but it's a great gesture. My guess is it's when they close and before they go home. It's the kind of place you can sit around and enjoy for hours while watching sports on the television screens all around, or have a game and your drinks. Solid spot for a casual pub style meal. Would definitely be going regularly if I lived there.

Arrived a little before 6:30 Sunday evening and after a little confusion among the hosts, we were seated in about 10 minutes. Turned out there were a couple parties ahead of us. It was our first time here and we wanted to have a table by the water versus sitting in their bar area. They seem to be a dog-friendly place, so you can bring your well-behaved dog to hang out with you while you eat. We saw at least 3 dogs there. None barked the entire time we were there. In addition to their regular menu, they had a full page of specials printed out. We ended up ordering the Atlantic Sole and Rib Wrap from the specials, and the calamari and wings from the regular menu. We all enjoyed being by the water, watching the boats pass by, as we waited for our food. The service was great, all the food was really delicious, minus the calamari. Calamari looked good, but was tasteless. Diners next to us, got what looked like one of the steakburgers and a Strawberry Daquiri, and we may have to come back for that. Big portion for the burger and both looked really good! I also want to give their Korean BBQ wings a shot next time! We'll be back!

We came in on a Friday morning as a group of 5. It was around 10:30 and the place was almost full…read more We could see how popular this place is. It continued to fill during our stay. The wait staff have been working here for years. We were promptly seated, given our menus, and water and beverages served right away. The menu is fulsome but not overly extensive - to my daughter's chagrin, no eggs Benedict on offer. It's your typical diner fare with eggs/omelettes, pancakes, waffles, French toast, biscuits with sausage gravy, and sandwiches. There is a separate lunch menu that begins at 11:00a.m. which we did not look at. Breakfast continues to be served all day. I went with a French toast slam, with sunny side eggs, order of wheat toast, and link sausages. The choices of bread included rye and possibly sour dough. Some of the breads are upgrades with an additional small charge. The French toast comes with a side of cream cheese. It was nicely cooked and distinctly cinnamony. My eggs were just barely fully cooked and not slimy. The sausage was typical. My daughter had a Philly cheesesteak which included green pepper and was really nice and hot, although the steak didn't taste as robust as she'd hoped. My husband went with a typical breakfast plate. He enjoyed most of it, but left most of the home fries. The decor is country style as opposed to 50's style chrome and leather. You can choose from booths or tables. There are plenty of amusing signs to read, like, if you don't like the coffee, leave (not verbatim, I can't remember the correct wording). There's only one bathroom for one person at a time for each gender, so the wait can be awhile. It is very roomy and clean. The prices are super reasonable and the staff are fantastic. For 5 full breakfasts and refillable coffees all around, it came out to just over $62. I can see why this place is so popular. I'm betting we'll be returning next time we come down for another visit.

First impression: typical diner look, a little rundown, but honestly makes you feel very comfortable. Very home-like feeling. Then came the service, then came the food. Not much to say about both other than outstanding. We had the waffles, cheese and mushroom omelette with hashbrowns and plenty of toast and bottomless coffee. Portions were huge, you won't go home hungry. Our coffee cup was never empty and we were checked on routinely to make sure everything's OK. Floor manager and the service folks were exemplary and very polite and friendly. Four stars out of a possible five but not because of the food or service When we go back for another visit, and we certainly will, if we have the same experience, I'll upgrade this to a solid five. Real nice bunch of folks at the R Diner and the food is even better. We'll be back

Chef Miguel Lockhart grew up in NYC cooking soul food and going to Katz Deli with family. He became…read morean executive chef as an adult, and when he moved to CNY and decided he would open a restaurant, he wanted to provide something that CNY was scarce on - soul food and fresh, home made pastrami. Lockhart opened Harts Cafe & Deli in the ALDI shopping plaza on 31 in Cicero, with a menu consisting of sandwiches where he makes ALL the meats himself including pastrami, corned beef and pulled smoked chicken. He has a breakfast menu with platters, sandwiches, pancakes & waffles, offers different coffee options, fish fry Fridays, and Soul Food Saturdays. I went into Harts today after reading a good review about them, and I work pretty close. I LOVE pastrami, and it is not easy to find home made pastrami in the area, so I was immediately interested. Chef Miguel gave me a whole run down of what he offered, told me how everything is fresh made from the pastrami to his whole grain mustard, so I ordered a half pastrami sandwich with a side of his seasoned fries. He also has one of those machines that squeezes fresh orange juice, something I've only seen in one other restaurant here, and I love fresh orange juice, so I ordered once of those as well. He went back and made it immediately. My sandwich was fresh and hot, with thick slices of delicious pastrami on a roll with his home made tangy musatard, leaf lettuce and tomato. The HUGE pile of fries were seasoned well, and I can't place what the seasoning reminds me of, but it's different than any other fries I've had here and they taste great. A half sandwich, large side of fries and fresh squeeze juice cost me about $20. Chef Miguel was extremely friendly, and has a lot of stuff on the menu I want to try, cause I'll definitely be going back.
