Great breakfast!…read more Annette's Lakeside Country Kitchen is a casual breakfast and lunch restaurant serving traditional American food, located adjacent to Lakeside Auction in Bernhards Bay. Enter the building through the main glass door and hang right for the restaurant, which behind a plain looking door. The bright dining room has close to 15 tables and seating at the counter. I stopped in at Annette's for breakfast recently. The place was steady with several groups of diners arriving for Sunday breakfast. Annette's seems like the place to be for locals from Constantia and Cleveland. I took a seat at an open table and the waitress arrived with menu. They had a few specials posted on the board and I ordered the Country Omelet Special ($9.99) and a glass of ice water. The food arrived hot 15 minutes later. The portion of food was filling, which was comprised of a folded soft egg sheet filled with shredded hash brown potatoes, sliced ham, onions, and topped with melted cheese (I chose pepper jack) and two thick slices of homemade buttered wheat toast, mixed fruit jam packets on the table. Breakfast was excellent and I barely finished my food. The service was courteous and I wasn't rushed. I would return here again if I happen to be traveling on NY 49 along the north shore of Oneida Lake.

Food was okay, so yesterday we decided to give it another try. When we sat down at our table, there were a few ants on the table. We told the waitress and we moved to the table across. The waitress left (and didn't do anything about the ants). I looked down and saw a dead ant inside the salt shaker, so we ended up leaving.

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

Mary's is about 5 minutes outside of downtown Sylvan Beach, so easy to get to for locals or vacationers to Oneida Lake. We were seated quickly when we arrived around 8:30 on a Saturday, and were glad to get there when we did as it filled up quickly just after we got our table. Patrons have the choice of booths, tables, or up at the counter - just how a diner should be. My wife ordered the pancakes and sausage while I opted for the 3 egg breakfast (sunny side up, always) with some bacon and rye toast. My wife raved about her pancakes and was able to get sugar-free syrup with her meal. Portions were generous and food came out quickly. Our waitress was friendly and kept drink refills of water, juice, and coffee rolling. Prices are reasonable and the menu was quite large. Lunch is also available and we'd love to come out and try that sometime. Mary's succeeds in what makes a good diner worth driving to. My only drawback would be the wait to get a table on the weekend if you arrive at the wrong time. It was standing room only when we left.

The coffee was fresh and strong and hot. It was a perfect fuel for a day of hiking and exploring.

Noticeably, this is a heavily male environment at this hour: Of the fifty or so customers, about three were women. Lots of retirees, road crews, and city employees.

At a table near us, a man got a plate of the "Gut-Buster" for $22.95: six eggs, sausage and gravy, side of toast: It covered the entire dinner plate, and rose 2" high.
