BS +++ SPOILER ALERT! This place is a must visit if you're…read moreever by Binghamton. And best of all everything here is vegan!!!! But by looking at some of the foods you could never tell. Firstly, this place is located in a very sketchy and abandoned part of town. Antique shops all over for no reason and parking is a bit confusing. The houses in the block are definitely questionable. BUT once you locate this place and go inside you'll be transported to a beautiful spot with huge smiling faces. The waitress was so dope and adorable. Her energy is all about love and light. Now the food. You will definitely have your mind blown. The detail to flavor and plating is magnificent. The burger is a must try and having the mac and cheese was a bonus.

It was around 5:30pm on a Saturday and luckily there were plenty of tables still available. We started with the Buffalo Brussels Sprouts which I absolutely loved! These are some of the best Brussels sprouts I've had at a restaurant. The buffalo sauce was light and not overpowering and even the blue cheese dipping sauce (which I'm usually not a fan of) was pretty mild and paired well with the Brussels sprouts. A great start! We then shared the Large Rigatoni a la Vodka and added Meatballs to it. The Large is definitely enough for 2 people. The Rigatoni was cooked well and the vodka sauce was well balanced with the cream, tomatoes, garlic, and cheese. It wasn't anything spectacular but it hit the spot! My only complaint was for ~$6, I expected the meatballs to be larger than they were. The Meatballs had good flavor but for such a large bowl of pasta, it barely makes a difference. And those 3 meatballs should be $1 each at most, in my opinion. The Side Caesar Salad was a great pair with the pasta and for ~$3, very reasonably priced. All in all, worth stopping by if you're in town!

Strange Brew Cafe is a decent local option for a caffeine fix and casual breakfast/lunch in the…read moreheart of downtown Binghamton. The interiors are tastefully decorated with funky wall art and pictures of celebrities sipping caffeinated beverages, with a playlist of popular songs from the 90s for music. They have a very small patio area out front and a couple tables inside, and seem to do a lot of grab-and-go takeout business. The staff I encountered were all very friendly, and menu prices somewhat reasonable. Since it was breakfast time, we went with a bagel (with cream cheese) and egg & cheese sandwich for food, and a mocha and cappuccino for drinks. All were of decent quality, so I'd rate them an overall 4.5 out of 5, and am happy to round up due to the nice interiors, friendly service, and cool, local vibes. The egg & cheese sandwich was prepared with a tasty bread that they said was made in-house. If you find yourself in downtown Binghamton looking for a local spot that's a good alternative to chains like Panera or Starbucks, I recommend a visit to Strange Brew Cafe.

We sat outside because we had one of the few nice days around here where it didn't rain. The food was good but the shameful part here is the servers and atmosphere. During our meal, they decided to deliver hops or something to their silo outside the building but right outside the seating area. It was horrendously loud to the point of being uncomfortable with a scratching rattling noise that was terrible. We had to shout. After about 10-15 minutes of this, we complained to our server who said there wasn't anything that could be done but it should be over soon. Not long afterwards, it started to quiet down and everyone on the patio started clapping and cheering and THEN IT STARTED BACK UP. Slightly less loud, but still requiring shouting back and forth at our small table. This went on for another 30 minutes. I asked for the manager, who again said there was nothing she could do and then gave us "free drink" chips we could redeem for a free drink on another visit. We dropped over $80 for the two of us on this visit and were nearly hoarse when done talking. Then, as we are leaving, we look at the chips that we were given for our "free drink" and it's for a COFFEE on the house!! Not even a real drink. Good grief. I may have said this last time, but if at all possible, I'll never come here again. The price/atmosphere equation is radically out of balance here.

The Pho on the other hand did not come out hot AT ALL. It came out room temperature- wasn't even able to cook the rare beef in the soup- nor the bean sprouts. The pho soup itself did NOT taste like pho. ANY other restaurant food ALWAYS comes out hot and steamy. We asked if they could heat it up- which they did in the microwave... brought it back.. and it was the same. Still freaking cold. 8 hr drive and wanted a good hot steaming bowl of pho.. flavor wasn't there... temperature wasn't there. For a Pho place to be called Pho-nomenal it was definitely NOT Phonomenal. Hell the beer was even room temperature. Very disappointing.... I REALLY wish we hadn't stopped here. ‍ Came in hungry, leaving hungry. Didn't even finish the pho cause it was NOT good, freaking cold.. Helloooo pho should always be served steaming hot! Or at least HOT. Broth needs work as well- no flavor what so ever. Eugh soo disappointing.

Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5
