I went here a few times now and I keep coming back. The food is great. I ordered a few things to try and each one stood out on their own. 1. Harvest salad- very fresh, huge portions of steak, and great combo of vegetables. 2. Pork belly- very tender and sweet. What an amazing dish. 3. Spicy chicken wings- wow. Very fresh and crispy. I like their food. It's delicious, clean, fresh and new. The beer selection is great. I haven't been disappointed the times I have been here. read more

We love spending time at the Evergreen! The food is delicious, comfort food and lots of healthy options. It's a very casual vibe, perfect for when you want to just relax and enjoy a night out without all the fuss of a fancy restaurant. Great selection of wines, cocktails and amazing selection of draft beers! Very friendly staff and service was very fast. I had the grilled cheese with added bacon... it was AMAZING on a cold snowy Syracuse night. Highly recommend. read more

Their beer selection is excellent and the prices are great. Even better during happy hour (4-6pm). Food was very tasty and it was reasonably priced. It's a very comfortable place + they have outdoor seating. Service was wonderful. read more

Refreshing change for Syracuse. There is nothing better than great food and your pick of unique craft brews. Will go back often! A place that would make anyone local want to go down town. read more

The Evergreen - Huge hamburger, steak sandwich, amazing fries and veggie salad - American Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Amazing customer service. The owners are legit. Great food and draft list. Easily the best restaurant in Syracuse. Outdoor seating.

Honestly trash. Burger was raw, bbq sauce was awful. But the fries were fucking bangin. Also didn't have Busch light so BIG red flag

Abdolutly disgraceful. Server was beyond rude and told us we are the worst, and said we are shit people. Immature staff for a once good dine in experience read more

Met a friend for dinner. It was my first time at the Evergreen. Cozy atmosphere, nice staff, and a simple yet delicious looking menu. I decided to try my first craft beer and was impressed that the bartender gave me a couple to taste after I described my likes. I settled on the LIC Beer Project Trigger Rye Saison. I enjoyed ever last drop of that pint! I was very much in the mood for a good burger. I ordered the Sirloin Burger with Swiss Cheese. It came topped with lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onion on Brioche. I ordered it cooked medium. It came out overcooked and very dry. The bun itself did not hold up and fell apart every time I touched it. That is a huge let down to me. I ordered the side of fries. They were seasoned perfectly and super crispy. I would order a plate of these! We also ordered soft pretzels which we expected to come out first. We were a bit disappointed that they came out with our burgers. They were probably the best soft pretzels I've ever had. They were served with a cheese dip and an IPA mustard. So in conclusion, most everything was good. But the burgers were such a huge let down that I could only give it 2 stars. Not sure I'll be back as I don't want to deal with going downtown just to get a pretzel. read more

Just really into this place- rotating craft beer list always has a couple of really great beers, most come in 10oz pours which is great for me because it means I can have at least 2. Food had been delicious- I had fried pickles and the blackened tofu sandwich last time and loved it (with siracha fries! So good) and buffalo cauliflower and the beet and grain burger this time- both were super delicious. Will be back! read more

Don't plan on eating here. No Table service and a PACKED bar = where it is impossible to get something drink. If you order food, be prepared to go pick it up yourself from the window, and find your own silverware. This is a BAR that has some food - but not a place for a meal thats served to you. read more

The French fries are addictive. The tofu is life changing. The salads are spiritual. The outdoor seating is perfect. The staff is awesome. Only compliant? I wish I could order my (non-alcoholic) drinks at the same spot as my food. But a minor, minor detail. LOVE The Evergreen. read more

First visit: shortly after they first opened I went for dinner. Great beer selection, delicious tofu and greens wrap, BEST fries I've ever had in my life. Second visit: still good beer, I ordered the same wrap and it was completely different (not in a good way). At least the fries were still delicious. Third visit: good beer, underwhelming and over priced burger and finally THEY GOT RID OF THE DELICIOUS FRIES!!! I was so disappointed to see they starting using too salty-battered-from a bag fries. WAH! Nice bar with a good beer selection and very nice staff. I would come here to drink but probably not to eat anymore. The food has gone way downhill in only a few months! read more

Vibe of the restaurant is chill. Cocktails weren't that great and we waited an hour for a burger and a grilled cheese. Food wasn't anything special, and pretty sure my grilled cheese gave me the WORST stomach ache after. read more

Good place for great salads, burgers, and beers. Gluten free options, friendly staff and large portions. Fine casual dining.

Stopped here recently on a Monday evening to grab a drink with some friends. When we arrived, the bartender handed me some menus and told us to seat ourselves. I only found out it was self-service by reading the menu which stated that there was no waitstaff. There was a wide variety of beers all priced at $5 but varying in size. We decided to order a few appetizers for the table (pretzels and fried pickles). The pretzels were a little heavy on salt for my taste. I would also recommend skipping the mustard and going with the cheese sauce. The pickles were delicious! They also have a bunch of vegetarian and gluten free options which are labeled on their menu. Overall, the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. Great place to hang out if you don't mind getting up and ordering things for yourself! read more

The Evergreen - Mango Even Keel on draft and Big Slide in the background - American Near Me - Syracuse, New York

This place tends to have a good beer selection and has vegan items on the menu so it hits the mark for both hubby and I. The hours are difficult for us, though, as they don't open until 3pm and are closed on Sundays. We would definitely pop in more often if we could do lunch. The food is a bit more inspired than bar food, but I do wish they'd mix up the vegan selections a bit more. The beet burger was good the first time but has lost sits excitement for me. Omni hubby hasn't been impressed with the food. read more

Great bar for burgers! Cooked exactly as ordered, great French fries. Delicious Mac and cheese! Nice selection of beers and full bar. Friendly employees. read more

You can't get a bowl of delicious Brussels sprouts just anywhere and have them be so delicious! Everything we ate was fantastic! They had gluten free buns and other gluten free options on the menu so my kids and I could eat without having any issues. The waiterless experience was really interesting and I really liked it! It took out the middle man between ordering and the kitchen and I feel would lead to less mistakes. I never felt rushed to get out because no one asked if we'd like anything else over and over again. read more

Everything is amazing! The food is unique and delicious and they definitely have the best burger and salmon fish tacos in Syracuse. The service is friendly and cool. The drinks are delicious! The Evergreen is a MUST TRY! read more

My husband and I decided to give this place another try before a show last night. We arrived and placed an order around 6:25 pm. We ordered 2 chicken sandwhiches with fries. I had to go up 2 times after 35 and 50 minutes to ask where our food was. I was told to bare with them as it's busy. I told him we had to go and to refund the money then all of a sudden we went from being 4 or so tickets away to having the food all of a sudden ready (i watched them piece meal it together). The food was good, but the managing of this place is horrible. This poor couple next to me waited maybe 10 minutes less than us and had to cancel their order as they were going to the same show and didn't want to be late. Yet a couple who came in about 15 minutes after us, got an appetizer and THEN food about 30 minutes before we did! I watched who maybe was a kitchen manager deliver food to the wrong tables consistently over an hours time frame. I watched food come out to 1-2 people at a table, then 20 or so min later another 1-2 people would get food at same table, still leaving about 2-4 people at table still left un-served after over an hour of waiting for their food. There beer selection still has a strong IPA, pale ale base. They had 1 beer on tap that was a white beer and of course that keg got kicked while we were waiting. Over all, food seemed better but this place has no reason for me to visit again. read more

Had their sirloin burger and a beer flight. Burger was an average burger nothing special, but loved their beer! Even though it's not a brewery bar like Empire, I preferred their beer selection over Empire. Waitresses are friendly, and their patio is great for warm weather. read more

Stopped in for a few drinks after work. Cozy environment, and very pleasant place to hang out and have a few drinks. Large selection of beers on tap, I want to say 15-20ish! I opted for some food, I can't say no to Poutine when I see it available! Definitely more than just your standard serving. Topped heartily with some delicious gravy and cheese curds! Yumm!!! Not packed but it was a fun crowd for a Monday evening. Check them out! read more

The beer was delicious! We wanted to sample a few of the more interesting appetizers so we ordered the Brussel sprouts, pork belly, fried pickles, and deviled eggs. The Brussel sprouts could've used a little salt but the char, tenderness, and mustard made the dish quite outstanding. The fried pickles were both incredible and disappointing. We ate the individual slices first and they were done perfectly. Very tasty and seasoned batter. But then we were left with large clumps of pickle and batter that fused together during frying. Insides had raw batter and we ending up just picking out the pickles. The clumps made up over half the basket. Pork belly was presented nicely but you could see right away that it wasn't cooked long enough (layer of fat very visible) and it was quite thick, which was not good considering there was no sauce on the plate to help flavor the insides. Apple slaw was a nice touch. Deviled eggs were quite bland, nothing unique about them other than just being on the menu at all. The beers and the chance to try a few unique appetizers made for a decent experience but we would not be drawn into going back at all. read more

I had a super enjoyable experience at The Evergreen when I went there for the first time. The atmosphere is pretty cool and all of the bartenders I interacted with were incredibly nice. The drinks were great (I highly recommend trying the green tea shot) and while I didn't eat anything when I went, the menu looked like it had good options for everyone. Definitely check this spot out! read more

The Evergreen is a nice bar with a good beer selection. I appreciate the flat-price/variable pour system here - everything is $5, so it's easy to sample a couple beers without having to pay $9 for a pint of the heavier ones. They've always got something on tap that J. Ryan's doesn't have, which is nice. The food is OK, good variety, better than standard pub food - deviled eggs, spicy chicken sandwich, pulled pork, grilled cheese have all been good, and it's nice that they rotate the menu pretty regularly. The wire baskets in which many items are served are unwieldy, though - the sides are too high and it's difficult to cut sandwiches on paper. The system of limited table service and placing food orders through the bar is relaxed, putting more the work on the customer than on a server. I don't love it, but it saves on labor and it makes for a less intrusive dining/drinking experience. It fits with the atmosphere here - nice place to pass the time, ordering drinks and food at a comfortable pace. read more

This is a great local bar with unique food offerings and an amazing beer selection. Love the atmosphere and vibe- I'm a rock climber and this place is pretty popular with the local climbing community. Definitely a fan! read more

Saw this was #3 on Yelp for burgers and decided to try it. It's located in Hanover Square, which is a beautiful little cove near the State Tower Building. We got complementary water as soon as we sat ourselves. The cauliflower wings were delectable with buffalo and ranch! The lamb burger with goat cheese was soooo tender and really mild tasting. The pulled pork sandwich was a surprising flavor experience but was far from unpleasant (meaning the citrus slaw combined with the Smokey pulled pork). Plus, the cosmopolitans ordered were on point! Even though their were no wait staff, the atmosphere, food, and drinks were very enjoyable! Not to mention the music was like they copied my alternative Pandora station. Added to the ambiance. read more

This was a tasty place. I'm gluten free and travel so food can sometime be a chore. Tried this out and very pleased I did, ordered the salmon blt, and Brussel sprouts. It was very good, I would certainly go back and I don't normally revisit unless it is truly worth it. When life brings me back to Syracuse I'll be trying the lamb burger next. Only slight negative is the noise level, if you're looking for a quiet dinner this may not be the place for you. read more

This place is a hidden gem in syracuse! We just had a private party at The Evergreen and it was incredible. The food was amazing from start to finish. Chef Ryan Spence is a true food artist and created an assortment of dishes, many of which were made using locally sourced ingredients, that were as delicious as they were unique. The time and effort that he put into our meal helped to make our event special more memorable. Furthermore, the owners did everything they could to accommodate our guests and anticipate our needs. The pricing was very fair and the staff was a pleasure to work with. Prior to last night, I had been to The Evergreen a handful of times and had always been impressed by the menu and preparation, and last night they surpassed my highest expectations. Superb! read more

Came here before a show at the Landmark. Great customer service and the food was pretty good. I had a quinoa avocado salad with chicken and my sister had the cauliflower "wings" & mac&cheese and enjoyed it. They have tons of selection for beer lovers and a few different wines. I got a glass of Riesling and it was pretty tasty. You have a separate counter for ordering food and then have to go to the bar to order drinks. Concept seems a little cumbersome but I guess makes sense if you only want to come here for drinks and avoid waiting for food? Will probably return. read more

Great food great people great atmosphere! What more could you ask for? You're practically in the Adirondacks with all this wood decor

Great craft beer selection and a great if limited menu, which they are supposed to be expanding soon. Service was solid and attentive. Food was contemporary and well prepared, hip, but not too hipster. Talking with some other patrons, it seemed like they were enjoying their food as well. The beer is great. Pretty much everything is $5, but they vary the serving size based on alcohol content and how exotic it is for some of the rarer craft brews. read more

Great food - great beer selection...what more could you ask for!?!? Had the Brussels sprouts and the daily special calamari for small plate starters - both were fantastic!! I want to be able to make the sprouts at home!! Three of us were at dinner - and we're all able to find a beer on tap to please our palates!! All three sandwiches that we got were phenomenal and we will DEFINITELY be visiting here again soon!!! read more

We love Evergreen. A down to earth place with an excellent selection of craft beers and delicious food! A nice perk is if it's nice out (and there is space outside) you can bring your furbaby too! read more

The music is too loud and expect your order to be incorrect. The Evergreen is a bar, but the music shouldn't be club-style loud at 5pm in the dining area. Also, I have been here 4x over the past two years I've lived here and every time my order was not prepared accurately. I have allergies to certain things and every visit I was given a meal that would have made me violently ill had it gone undetected. I don't understand why the workers there have such a difficult time following basic directions (a fundamental receptive language skill) that are written down. I am a huge advocate for increasing the minimum wage and the behavior of employees here are exactly the reason why people argue against it. read more

Five stars for the extensive craft beer list and consistently delivering some of the best food in Syracuse! I eat there frequently, and it's always fantastic! read more

If i were a beer person id probably give it 5 stars...unique concept in casual counter service...prompt and friendly service. Cauliflower wings are craveable. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting The Evergreen on 2 separate occasions. The menu was a little different both times but each time our experience was amazing. We started with drinks- the girl behind the bar suggested 2 interesting cocktails and let those having beer sample a few and they got exactly what they wanted as well. Then we tried some appetizers. The fried pickles were amazing-- lightly battered and fried to perfection. The soup was also perfect- not too salty like many places. Then our entrees came out. The seared chicken sandwich was juicy and the rosemary roll complimented the pesto. And as for the Evergreen Burger-- all I can say is wow!!!! Everything combined on it made it the best burger I had ever had! The duck confit was quite flavorful - very unique in a pub setting. Go to The Evergreen- you'll leave happy!! read more

It's always a good sign when I look at a menu and have a hard time choosing because *too many* things look good, and that was the case at The Evergreen. After several minutes of deliberation, I went with the seared chicken sandwich and my girlfriend got one of the special salads (with the understanding that she'd get some of my fries as "croutons"). I ordered at the kitchen window, and was greeted by a friendly person who had no problems making a few customizations (something I always worry about). I then talked to the bartender, who was helpful in assembling a flight of beers from their expansive but not overwhelming beer board. We sat outside on the patio enjoying the night air and scene of Hanover Square. The vibe at the place was relaxed and pleasant. The Evergreen attracts a crowd of people who want to hang out, eat good food, enjoy craft beer, and talk. It's a nice alternative to some of the louder, more crowded bars down in Armory Square. When the food arrived, delivered by the same smiling person who took the order, it was delicious. The portions were generous without being too much, and the beer paired nicely. When we finished, we lingered a bit longer to enjoy the atmosphere before wandering around downtown a bit more. Much of what we saw made us glad we ate where we did, and we look forward to going back. read more

Great food, nice bar dinner experience. Great sliders, good selection of craft beers and mix experience of college and formal dining
