My son has been going to SUNY Oswego for 4 years and we FINALLY managed to get breakfast here…read more Sorry we waited so long because it was excellent. Our waitress was just the right amount of sassy and the food was plentiful and delicious. The late Wednesday morning crowd was either local elderly regulars or college students. Two groups who know the importance of a good deal.

The shining star at this place is the fresh bread, especially the raisin bread. This place usually doesn't have enough staff, so service is usually a bit slow. The staff is friendly and efficient. It's clean and cute inside. It has a warm local vibe. If you're in the area it's a great place for breakfast options all day.

This place is like eating at an antique store, that's the vibe…read more It was practically empty at 9:00 on a Sunday so that's not a great sign. Anyhow the staff was very very nice. They are great. The food was only okay- I had a frittata that sufficed but didn't quite hit the spot for me. Only Tabasco for hot sauce which is a choice. The raisin bread was very good as advertised. I'd probably get that as French toast if I go back. This place does the job but I wasn't amazed. Actually probably a 3 star, but the staff was so nice it's a 4.

Thank you for serving a fresh hotdog bun…read more Personally I'd steam it just a bit more - if you did steam it at all. Steaming the bun really helps the dog experience. Texas hot - Hoffman dog with finely chopped chili always a great combo - onions, a little mustard & ketchup Great fried clams - order lemon & tartar

"Great" is always relative to the palate using the word. 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.

We decided to get together for a nice place to go and eat dinner. We tried Southern Fare located…read moreon 1st St in Oswego. We started out by ordering some drinks. We ordered a drink called the Pear Necessities along with another drink called Yes You Cran. The drinks were nothing short of amazing & incredibly refreshing. Our server, Gabrielle G also was fantastic. She gave great insight as to the items on the menu along with the drink, as well as, desserts. We ordered the pan fried cod along with the fried chicken & chicken sandwiches respectively. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries on top. Last but not least, the ambiance was also just right. Our table was just off the main bar but adequate enough to carry on a nice conversation as well as take in the surrounding area visible through the large windows. If you get the chance, please check out Southern Fare (see pictures). Fantastic place for a night out to eat in Oswego, NY. Enjoy!!

Good food, good drinks and good prices.
