Although I wasnt impressed with my food the last time I came , I decided to give it another shot today and I enjoyed my breakfast! I ordered eggs bacon toast and red potatoes with a side of French toast. It was delicious! My friend ordered the chicken breakfast tacos and we both ordered a smores milkshake. Everything was delicious! Everything was fresh and warm and the service was great as well!

Great service and great food! The malt milkshakes are delicious and huge, definitely good for sharing. Mimosas also looked awesome although we didn't order any. I ordered the lobster eggs benedict and it was so good. The home fries are very tasty and overall the food was awesome!

The food was good. You get a good bit of food. I ordered the Elvis pancakes. They would’ve been a lot better if the bacon wasn’t so salty. The atmosphere was really neat. I enjoyed seeing a vintage cigarette vending machine. Would definitely come back.

We had a great experience here. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. He checked on us multiple times to make sure we were happy with our meals. He also informed us that the coffee, toast and a few other items on the menu were from other local businesses, which I love. I wish I took pictures of our food but forgot. I got the breakfast bowl and it was phenomenal. I would definitely come back if we are in the area again!

We went in as a group of 9, they pushed a couple tables together and we we're seated pretty quickly. Our server was really great, I didn't catch her name, she was really on top of water refills. I ordered plain Jane pancakes, and tater tots. The tater tots were absolutely fantastic! The pancakes reminded me a lot of the fair. Overall good meal and fair price. Also wasn't too busy for a Saturday night. Went again got the Oreo stuffed French toast, it was so delicious, I would definitely recommend. I look forward to eating here again! (Also the music they had playing was so good old&new alt)

Asked for sweet potato totes but they brought the regular ones. I told the server about it but they took so long. We asked for the bill when the totes arrived lol. Other than that our experience was positive. Shakes are huge and yummy. Benedicts were successful! Recommend.

Although the food was very good and hearty, the kitchen speed left something to be desired when I visited a few weeks ago. But the waitresses were very apologetic about it, and tried as hard as they could to accommodate all the waiting patrons. I would highly recommend their lobster poutine - the flavor and richness will leave you wanting more!

It was my first visiting. I ordered lobster egg benedict. So despite the name "lobster something", many restaurants only use tiny pieces of lobster, but the lobster egg benedict here has plenty of large pieces of lobster and is very tasty. And the French fries on the side were also very delicious. Next time I'd like to try some sweet breakfast like pancakes.

Solid brunch spot! Large menu and tons of options. Eggs , sandwiches and anything else you’d want. My omelet was a bit greasy. Awesome shakes.

Found this place downtown Syracuse while looking some place open at 9am that serves beer. Glad we found this place. Got breakfast and had a nice, cold, hazy IPA. Service was great. Food was okay. My sausage breakfast sandwich was an actual sausage cut in half. Not a typical breakfast sausage patty as I was expecting. Get the bacon instead. The bun was soft and fresh.

They’re usually busy on the weekends so it was up to a 30-45 min wait. The one downside is that their pancake/French toast does not come with sides, it will be an extra cost to add on sides (eggs, hash browns, bacon). Their drinks are delicious tho! The caramel milkshake with liquor is amazing and has cute drinks. Service is great tho and they will make sure everything is good (:

Was excited to get a burger at a place that offered a pretty decent glutenfree bun. The Mimosas flights were cute. Enjoyed the pineapple upside down cake version and the cherry limeade, the other two not so much. They were out of alot of items that day, but ill take out of fresh items than stocked full of whatever has been sitting around forever Aka food chain garbage. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The tot bowls are out of control! I feel like they should be part of a Man verses Food Food Network challenge. Tried a few items. Nothing super amazing. Nice atmosphere. We did see another table get some amazing looking waffles so I'd recommend trying those just based on the visual. It's great just to have a chance to get out for brunch in anywhere in Syracuse since so many places are currently closing, but we always try to support the smaller businesses. ;)

I first came here during Syracuse Dining Week and have subsequently eaten here a handful of times. The Canadian Gold poutine is a great take on the classic Quebecois delight. The Pot Roast Poutine that was a special was absolutely out of this world. That along with the Short Rib Patty Melt were my favorite two dishes I’ve had here. The juicy, tender braised short rib between the crispy pieces of bread smothered with melted cheddar and caramelized onions is to die for. The poutine had the pot roast, cheese, along with pot roast braised carrots and celery. It made a delicious salty, meaty take on poutine. My friend who I ate with is actually from Montreal and they absolutely loved their poutine. Everything about those dishes are just heavenly. Both times I’ve eaten here, I have felt forgotten about in terms of service. It seems you should either pay soon after you receive your food or you’re waiting to be cashed out my a server. One time I was actually late back to work from my lunch break because the server could not be found.

Spectacular mimosas and bloodys! I highly recommend the dill pickle mimosa (sounds crazy, but WOW!) Also, the Pigs Benedict with a full on slab of crispy pork belly was absolutely delicious. The home fries were a huge hit too, and came out piping hot and well-seasoned! The only drawbacks: coffee went unattended and service was slower than it should’ve been. It took approximately 30-35 minutes for food to arrive after ordering, and about 10-12 minutes for the mimosas to arrive, too. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant, perhaps not during a busy brunch filled with large parties of local students, though. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the ‘Cuse!

First time having brunch at Modern Malts, and it was pretty satisfying. 1) Food We ordered the Ranch Chicken Sandwich with tater tots and the Hot Cocoa Waffles. I really liked the chicken sandwich—the crispy bun, nicely cooked chicken, and the sauce and vegetables were harmonious. For me, the cocoa waffles were a bit too sweet. However, for those who enjoy sweet foods, I believe they will love them as well. 2) Service Considering that there weren’t too many guests and there seemed to be a relatively large number of servers, I had to wait a bit upon entering the restaurant, and the time it took to receive the food was a bit long. Yet, the server was nice :) So, I’d say it’s more of an operational efficiency issue. 3) Atmosphere I didn’t get the window seat I wanted, but overall, the atmosphere was very nice!

A comfortable diner-style restaurant with classic menu options. Reasonably priced vs portion though service was quite slow. The restaurant is pet-friendly with street parking and parking garage nearby.

Arrived 5 minutes before opening, walked in and was told to wait outside until open. There was two parties in restaurant and waited for food for longer than I would expect. Ordered strawberry waffles, good except waffles were cold. Also ordered smothered breakfast burrito which was very good, but again temp was like it had been sitting for a few minutes. Cute place, but not very impressed.

The photos are misleading — this is a bar, not the blue/orange diner shown online. Food was good though! The brunch burger was tasty and the sliders were huge. Service was friendly, but my water was empty most of the meal.

Ordered the General Tso's Chicken and Waffles and was so disappointed. The chicken was too salty (overly seasoned chicken covered in a soy-based sauce does not lead to a balanced flavor profile). One of the chicken strips was also strangely mushy, and I’m not sure if it was the breading that absorbed too much sauce or if it was undercooked. Either way, it killed my appetite for the chicken. I tried to salvage the meal by focusing on the waffles, but they were also underwhelming. They tasted like the Belgian waffles with sugar crystals you can buy at Costco, just reheated. Overall, I left still hungry and disappointed.

We'll I'd love to post a picture of my food and tell you how great it is here at Modern Melt, but our server (after 30 minutes of drinking one cup of coffee with no refills) finally comes to our table with menus and says he lost our ticket and we needed to order again. We've been here for an hour now and still no food in sight. I'd love to have a manager stop by and touch base but we seem invisible. Regardless of how good my food will eventually taste, the service here is atrocious. Finally food came out, I'm pretty sure we weren't given preference in the kitchen with our meal prep. Mine was warm, not hot. The food was okay. Quick edit: on the way out someone brought their dog in. There was no attempt with a fake service vest or anything. No employee seemed to care. ... If I have anything to say about it, I'm never going back here.

Unfortunately I would not recommend Modern Malt. We entered and were hopeful since it was pretty empty when we entered that we would get our food fairly quickly. It was around 9:45 am. My sister sat across from me and unfortunately her booth seat was covered in syrup, and she had to go wash in the restroom. We moved seats, and put in our order, though our food didn’t come until over an hour later. It was packed by then, but three tables who came in after us and ordered after us got their food and finished before ours came. We only ordered two small plates of food. My plate had the wrong style egg, as I asked for fried over medium, and received very hard omelette style scrambled. I think my side of ham was just deli ham that was seared on a pan. My pancake was really yummy though! Unfortunately my sisters scrambled eggs were very dry and crumbly. The general diner needed to be cleaned, especially the floors. Our waitress was very nice, her name was Victoria.
