Breakfast here is ALWAYS good. Service is great and prompt.

My wife and I ate dinner at this beautiful restaurant last night and we enjoyed the best chicken parmesan either of us have ever had (I also had the hamburger and veggie soup and was not disappointed). And the people here are so friendly (we really enjoyed talking to our server, Shane). We were also amazed at how affordable everything was. The quality far exceeded the price. I really hope we can come back one day.

We came in this morning for my grandma's birthday for breakfast, she LOVES this place. The chick that took our drink order wasn't too friendly but our waiter Mike was awesome his sense of humor was great. He was so sweet to my grandma and has had them as customers before. The food was amazing! You get huge portions and other than the one girl everyone else there was really nice.

This place looks a bit dumpy from the outside which is why we've never visited in the 9 years that we have lived in Syracuse. But we finally did the other day and were very pleasantly surprised. The inside is very clean, the food was good, and the service was very nice. We will definitely be back again. As per the recommendation of other reviews I did not get the buffet, and after checking it out I am glad I didn't, everything looked old and dried out. But the menu items we got were very normal and delicious.

The food was excellent, portions were very good as was the service

Good food, good people, and good service. Sometimes, it might take a while, but that's because it's busy. It's worth the wait.

The people are super friendly and give great service. Huge portions for reasonable prices. Check the hours if you plan on coming around holidays, as they may close early. Both breakfast and lunch are great.

Food, service and cleanliness was the best. Thankyou!

atmosphere was amazing the waitress and host were amazing. Our waitress Janet went above and beyond to make sure the food was to our liking. Def come and try the food was amazing

Great homecooked food & service.

Everything here is excellent !! The staff and food were excellent !!! Great prices too !!

I've ate there alot. Food is home made. Delicious, clean n prices are affordable! People are so friendly n welcoming! 1 out of 10= 50

It was one of the cleanest diners that I've been in. The food was great. The drink section was good.

Great people, great food and no tax! Can't beat it and helping the "original" American's ancestors.

classic diner experience, food was fantastically priced and tasted great

Great food and service, very reasonable prices!!

Very good food,servce, and generous portions!!

We went for Sunday brunch and had excellent food at great prices- BIG portions too. Very nice interior, plenty of nice staff and our coffee cups never went empty. Breakfast today was $12.95 for their Big Breakfast- 2 eggs, 2 big pancakes, sausage or bacon, home fries and toast. Yummy!

Great service, excellent food, great value.

Food was amazing and the service was even better really enjoyed it

Best breakfast and lunch in CNY! Not fancy, but the service is great, the food outstanding (the turkey club is my favorite and its huge!), and you can't beat the prices. We've never spent more that 25$ for two lunches or two breakfasts, and I can't recall ever saying that about the million other restaurants we've been to over the years! Highly recommend.

Food is so delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Great food highly recommend food is awesome

Breakfast is all about the potatoes and coffee and this place is # 1! Delicious

Breakfast pizza is incredible here. Love this place

Always enjoy coming here, everything is great!

Food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. This was our third visit to Firekeepers and we have always been pleased with our time there. Try the mashed potatoes; they’re made from real potatoes.

This diner is WONDERFUL! Very good food, and very very inexpensive. The portions are large and the food is very tasty. The wait staff was excellent. You will be getting a great deal and a lot of tasty food. They only accept cash but there is an ATM in the restaurant

From the time we walked in there was a welcoming feeling. The food was great and so was the staff from start to finish. Will totally go back there again.

Love this place, but one problem. It's very hard to get a coffee refill. Otherwise Great food, large portions and clean.

Awesome service. Super clean and comfortable inside with plenty of personal space. Delicious breakfast- the French toast and sausage with gravy were excellent. Even the coffee was good. No tax, cash only. Leave a good tip for such a great value and experience! Our new go-to breakfast (over Mother's Cupboard, which is saying a lot). We'll be back.

It was good and pretty cheap for my family and there is a lot of us love the place always go and eat here food is amazing and the people are so nice

Food & service was amazing. Wife and I enjoyed our breakfast out. Staff were very pleasant. Portions were good, especially for the price. The environment was a bit loud which made it difficult to hear. However, my wife insists I am going deaf, so this may just be a me thing. Will definitely visit again.

Bright and clean, friendly staff, yummy food, great price. Really nice diner straight off Nedrow exit of 81S

Service and food were very good. Prices are very reasonable. This place will be a new addition to the restaurant cycle.

Great prices and food was good. Steak eggs home fries and toast. $11.95

This is a delightful gem on the outskirts of Syracuse. All of the food was fresh and reasonably priced. The staff is extremely welcoming and we enjoyed our stop here.

Amazing food very friendly staff prices are fantastic.

Nice location of the exit. For a clean wallet, open restaurant. Very friendly staff and Pat were all nights. The food came out quickly. Great breakfast food with taste and great value

Stopped in for a bite on our day trip because we wanted breakfast and the posted menu prices were good. The portions were huge and the food was delicious! Prices were great as well and the staff was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back when we are up in the area again

Great service and food. Large portions for the price. They also have truck parking

Great service, great food calm vibes the burger i had today was fresh very good !

Service was welcoming, quick, on point, & not overly bothersome. Food was delicious and well priced. Interior was gorgeous. Have a smoking/non-smoking area, & is truly seperate and unbothersome to the non smokers. Many menu items, anyone can find something they'd like, appropriate for all ages. Would 110% return the next time in the area.👌

I ordered The Big Breakfast and that it was! All this for $9. Great food, great prices and fast service. My dad said this place has been around a long time, but it looks new. Bonus: There's a lot of room around the tables, not packed in tight like most restaurants.

Great food, fast service.

Great food. Great service. Great prices.

Very quick service. Food was delicious.

Great food, enviroment, prices and service. A wonderful place.

This was a great find! On our way to the Syracuse airport, we stop for lunch. Great food, great service! Very reasonable. Easy on and off interstate!!

Delicious food, excellent service and very clean attractive surroundings. Had a western omelette with home friends and wheat toast, and a blueberry pancake on the side. The toast was unusually good, the omelette was very well made, packed with fillings cooked very well. The pancake was the only issue. The middle of it was raw but the edges were delicious. I decided not to say anything because there was no way I could eat everything anyway. What I was able to eat is the pancake was delicious. When the waitress cleared she noticed the raw pancake and took it off the bill without even telling me. Really great food and service for a totally fair price. I will definitely be back.

Food is always amazing and they never let your coffee get cold. Was a great lunch with friends.

Renee J.

I went here a few times with my sister and the food was so good and fresh. Food was seasoned to perfection. Great atmosphere.

Nicole R

Great comfort food with great service! Highly recommend 👌

We loved it! Great food, service, and prices. Would definitely come back

Horace Blackledge

Always a great place to stop and eat. We do every time we're in syracuse. The food is always the delicious in the portions are plentiful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Food is the best! Prices are reasonable. Friendly great staff.. please be mindful they only take cash, ( they do have a atm there tho) great 👍🏾 place

Jaime Quintero

Been wanting to review this place every time we visit our Student @ Syracuse University, but always forget cuz we get straight to Biz once the food is served. Always go for the Steak & Eggs & really don't care what anyone else orders for themselves. But all is extremely good!!!

Mark A

Discovered this gem traveling from Jersey to Niagara. Nice diner, prices are cheap, the waiter we had is excellent I believe her name is Mary. Oh the bathrooms are clean. Stop by this place if you’re close by.

Gina Foster

Food is always really good! The wait staff are friendly and quick. You do wait for your food, but not terribly long. It will get busy quickly on weekends so typically there is a wait. One last thing -- just the way the building is set up, it tends to have loud background noise. So, if you or a family member has trouble with noise, I would suggest bringing your ear plugs/headphones to wear.

Teri Marlowe

I wish I had pictures to share but the food looked so good we just dug right in! First off my son got the breakfast pizza and it was AMAZING! It was huge and excellent! It does take a bit longer to make, but totally worth it. Then the big breakfast was also fantastic and definitely BIG! The veggie breakfast (forgot the name) was filled with lots of veggies and cheese. We will be back when we are in the area.

Jenn Jackson

We stopped on Sunday late morning and they were so busy so we sat at the counter. We were SO impressed with how all the staff worked so well together and just kept pumping food out. The cooks and the servers made absolutely sure that every order was 100% right before it left the window and so many restaurants don't do that anymore. The food was absolutely amazing, hot, exactly how we ordered it and rather quick for how busy they were. And the French toast was hands-down THE BEST French toast i have ever had! The restrooms were clean and every person was so friendly. This is one of the best restaurants we've been to and we will definitely be back!!

Karen Thiess

Located in Nedrow NY. Off interstate 81, 3879 Frontage Rd. Clean, casual restaurant serving breakfast until 2pm and regular menu until 7pm Tuesday- Friday. Saturday and Sunday 7am - 2 pm. Monday closed. The food is hot and plenty. My meat lovers was exceptional. There are daily specials too. Today was loaded potato soup. Yummy! Coffee is very good and endless. They do not carry NON- DAIRY so bring your own. Our server was courteous and very accommodating. Bathrooms were clean. Looking forward to returning and tasting more from this menu.

I stopped in for breakfast the other day and it was great. I seated myself at the counter and was promptly served. I ordered their Big Breakfast and was not disappointed. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, home fries and toast, along with a glass of orange juice. Everything was delicious! And all that was very reasonably priced (about $13). If you want a good breakfast with generous portions, you can’t go wrong with stopping here. They are cash only, but they have an ATM on site for your convenience.

Kellie

Great atmosphere, great service, great food.

Mike

Good food good prices... They have a nice area for a large group of people... We had 25 people they took very very good care of us once the food started coming out little by little it continue to come out on a regular basis....

What you will get from this cash experience is extremely fair portions at an incredible price with a very homey vibe. All the staff are super nice and helpful and the pies are amazing. Leave a big tip they deserve it

Really good hamburgers on one of the best buns I've had in a long time. Lucky pick that I stopped here randomly on our way home from Fair Haven. Lovely waitress as well.

Each time I go is different. Food is always good. Service is OK. Sometimes slow sometimes right on point. Back room is nothing to look at. The front is really nice and kept up.

We walked in, and there was no sign indicating that we should seat ourselves. Instead, after standing at the entrance for half a minute or so, a waitress shouted, "Seat yourselves." That wasn't a huge issue, but a warm greeting does go a long way. However, putting up a nice sign at the entrance is the obvious answer and an easy fix. The food was absolutely wonderful and I found myself talking about it later that evening. The french toast specifically, with the cream and strawberries, was practically divine. Imagine french toast so amazing that you never even consider reaching for the maple syrup. My biggest issue, and the greatest disappointment, was that nobody offered to refill our drinks even once during our entire stay. Getting a refill on your coffee multiple times should be Diner Service Expectations 101. We will DEFINITELY be back and are eagerly awaiting their reopening after their Labor Day break. Hopefully, the service will improve, and our first experience was a fluke because otherwise, it would have been a 5 star diner experience without a doubt.

Rustic atmosphere,good service ,large portions and tasty!

Food was great. Friendly waitstaff, very attentive. Haven't been there in awhile but something changed and I can't put my finger on it. Prices were alright for the amount they give. Hubby was very disappointed because they didn't have their brownie sundae. Otherwise 2 thumbs up.

Above average diner food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, all at a very good price. Definitely among the better diners in Syracuse. Be aware that they don't take credit cards.

Cozy, warm, clean and welcoming resturant with good food at amazing and affordable prices. This is a seat yourself establishment, once steated staff is very attentive & friendly. I absolutely LOVE that their prices are very affordable. Everything on the menu was under $15.00, you can't beat that! Perfect place for a good breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Friendly wait staff. Busy place!!! Food portions are enough to feed three people!!! Pie is amazing if you are a pie person 🥧

Excellent fresh food...great stop off 81 on way into Syracuse for a quick bite

Very affordable, generous portions, friendly service, family atmosphere.

Great place for breakfast. Easy on and off I-81. Generous servings and good coffee. Quick, easy and tasty.

Just a fine diner. Nice stAff and good food. Prices were awesome

I got the turkey dinner and it was really good. The mashed potatoes were real, not instant, and the stuffing reminded me of my grandmother's. My boyfriend has their fried chicken dinner and said it was good. Service was a little slow, but they were slammed.

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Closes at 2pm. Cash only. ATM inside.

Very friendly staff, fast service, good food with good size portions

Dan Wallace

This is a very clean restaurant. The food was better than average, the prices were very reasonable. This was a good value. Service was good and helpful.

JP TV

Good food, very nice staff, decent atmosphere and plenty of seating. Perfect for breakfast, though they do serve lunch and dinner as well. We stopped for the breakfast and lunch. I had the Steak and Eggs, with Home Fries and my wife had the BLT. Pretty good 👍

My husband and I stopped for a late lunch. We ordered breakfast food. Waited a LONG time for our food. Whole wheat toast was part of my order. I never received it. The waitress did take money off of our bill. Food was OK that I did receive. Wasn't overly impressed.

Food was so-so but it sure was nice to connect with other Indigenous people. I loved the decor and it was very clean including the bathrooms 💞!

Chris Carlson

Service was slow and kids meals weren't much to be desired. Hot turkey sandwich was disappointing. Would look elsewhere. However, I did like the location and it looked clean minus the hole in the ceiling(mens room)

Go for dinner tonight got there at 545pm, no menus given had to get our own was brought water and the waiter came over 15 minutes later told us it was going to be a wait since he had a large party also. Said he'd put our order in first so we didn't get held up. At 630pm the large table got their food, waiter came over again and said so I never put your order in if you want to "walk away, I won't charge you for what you got " seriously the 2 cups of water?? Never again..

Had a racist experience here, my friends were seated and ordered food , i went to use restroom and this guy in construction yellow jacket, Stopped me and asked “ do you know english pointing to the entrance door which says “ No public toilets “ . I was confused on why did he asked , and he told me that he’s just making sure . I asked him how he know I’m a customer or a public? . He went to check on my friend’s. Although i like the food , i felt uneasy all the while. I hope this changes .

Placed a take out order and was up charged unreasonably for basic substitutions. They also charged me for to go cups of water without saying that would be another up charge while taking my order. The server who checked me out was also very short tempered and upset that I was shocked by the random up charges. Food was packed in paper boxes so the food got very wet and the boxes were soggy before I even got home. Food was very mediocre and not seasoned well at all. Will not eat here again, there are far better diners than this one.
