    Overall good place, the bartender was helpful and polite. Everything is fair price I believed. The food was good overall and the sizes are proportional. I've been numerous times and will continue to return. There is a juke box which is usually playing and a bit loud but I don't mind that but if you want peace and quiet it is not the place for that lol.

    Great service! Good food and reasonably priced! We look forward to going back again! Full bar, pool table and fireplace are all a part of the rustic cabin style!

    Food is nothing stellar but not horrible. Very relaxed atmosphere. I need to try a few more things on the menu to make up my mind.

    Great Food. I had a BLT it was very good. The service was great, the place a bit dungy and dark. Other than that its a great place to eat.

    Ordered takeout and they gave me french fries that were dried out and were burnt. Tasted like the french fries were old and were refried.

    This was the first time visiting. A very quaint little cafe. Ordered the Gus breakfast sandwich…read more Perfectly cooked and the flavors complemented one another so well! Ordered a simple coffee. Did not get a refill, not sure if they're offered. The place is small and I would say that was the only thing that made it a bit wonky to walk around. One customer gave me a glaring side eye when I walked past her table twice- I know! How dare I do that!? You order at the counter and a number tower card is given to place on your table. Food was brought out quickly. I would go back to try something else.

When I read over the reviews, everyone raved about their baked goods - so of course I ordered the bread pudding in addition to a rosemary chickpea salad with grilled chicken. The salad was like a take on Thanksgiving stuffing with chickpeas. It was good a little thick but has good flavor. The grilled chicken did not have any flavor to it but once mixed into the salad it was good. The stand out for me was definitely the bread pudding. It had layers of fresh apples in between and was very moist. I really enjoyed this and even cold it was still very delicious. They mentioned to me that the apples were from a local farm, which I loved. Definitely recommend checking out the baked goods for sure.

They have a rotating menu that they list on their website (www.saltcitybread.com). By the time I got there mid-afternoon, they were sold out of their seeded (sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds) sourdough. Plain sourdough loaves are $10 and the sourdough with inclusions are market price and range from $12-14 it seems. I got their chocolate chip cookie (with flaky salt from Syracuse Salt company) for $3.25, and it was delicious!! Thick cookie with crisp edges and a soft, fluffy center. Huge chocolate chips too! The flaky salt brings a nice balance as well. Will definitely be back!

This little bakery is very cute and offers a selection of different breads as well as sweets. The service is excellent and welcoming. These people know how to do bread WELL. I have tried their italian bread, focaccia, and their braided sesame bread-- which are all phenomenal! They have some sandwiches on their menu as well as some coffee available. On this occasion we ordered: - Braided sesame bread: this is my absolute favorite bread here. The presentation is beautiful, and the bread reminds me of a more savory challah with some salted olive oil hints that remind me of focaccia. The softness of the bread and the density make it so satisfying. It is perfect with both sweet and savory pairings. Super addictive--a loaf usually does not last longer than a day in our household. - Turkey sandwiches: we got a whole sandwich split into two halves. Size is pretty generous and one half is definitely enough for one person. This sandwich, although simple, stands out for its high quality ingredients. It came with generous sliced turkey that was not too salty, delicious gouda cheese, high quality mayo, fresh tomatoes and lettuce. The white bread is made in-house and feels super fresh and fluffy. They were super nice and gave us two bags of chips to compliment our dinner even though we technically ordered only one sandwich. We got it split into two separate containers and my fiancé and I each got our own pickle! Perfect option to get to-go. - Peanut butter cookie: I initially wanted to try the chocolate chip but they sadly ran out. However this was actually an amazing cookie. The thickness was perfect, not too thick and not too thin. It had nice bits of peanut butter and the cookie itself was super buttery, soft but with a nice caramelized crust, and not too sweet. There was a surprise Reeses PB cup in there which was very pleasant. Very good cookie! Cannot wait to come back and try their chocolate chip one. Overall, this bakery is a 10/10 and a very great asset to the area. Even though their selection is limited, I think they really focus on doing the few things they do VERY well. I love how local and homey this business feels. Their baked goods are all amazing and I will continue supporting them whenever I am in Manlius. Highly recommend Salt City Bread! You will not regret it.

Upon entering The Tavern Inn, Shannon immediately offered a nice hot cup of coffee (which I soo needed). My husband and I came back for lunch and we were greeted by my morning g friend, Shannon, and Glenda at the bar, and we had the burger and fries which was so Juicy, tasty and awesome! We went back to the restaurant for dinner, and I personally requested Shannon as our waitress/server. Her smile is infectious and she helped me reclaim my favorite umbrella that I left behind earlier! For dinner, we ordered the Bavarian pretzel sticks as an appetizer (so yummy), and I had the cod special which was delicious and my husband had the mushroom cavatappi. Great recommendations for dinner....! This place is a gem! The staff is amazing, the food is awesome and reasonably priced, great ambiance, and the service matches the best of any 5 star restaurant. Will be back again when visiting family for sure. Highly recommended!! Marie C. Stratford, CT

    Had a frustrating experience with the restaurant staff. Arrived around 6:40 for dinner and asked…read morefor a table by the windows. The hostess told us that all five empty tables were reserved for a large group, then put us at a two-seater next to the kitchen door. We expected the tables to fill up at 7:00 but only one did. By 7:40, when we were paying the check, three of the tables were occupied. Obviously there was never a large group reservation, or even individual reservations. Asked to speak with the restaurant manager, and explained the situation. She admitted right away that the hostess probably did it for server convenience and not reservations. And she DID NOT CARE. She said I should have told her right away, and then she could have put us at a window table. Ummm...why would I initially think the hostess was lying to us about the tables being reserved? It wasn't until 7:30 rolled around that we knew for sure. This is not the way a seating request, or a customer complaint, should be handled. (8/20/2026)
