My Partner and I ordered online and upon arriving I was very impressed by the atmosphere in here. Lots of great places to sit and eat inside and outside. The aroma of food was amazing, it made my mouth water. The service was incredible, greeting every customer with a smile and took customer concerns very seriously. You can tell that the staff want the customers to have an authentic experience. I got the fried chicken sandwich and my partner got buffalo wings. Absolutely everything on the sandwich was fresh from the lettuce and tomato to the sauce. The wings here are like no other, they are practically boneless with a crispy exterior that makes them absolutely perfect. Strong hearts is also very inclusive of those with dietary restrictions, including a menu of gluten free and vegan options. Overall the entire experience here was amazing and I will definitely be a frequent customer

Great food, service and atmosphere for date night with my wife. Had many awsome gluten free options.

While the food was good, the experience was less so. The menu has a large selection of everything you could hope for a good brunch, we opted for some lattes, mimosa flights, breakfast pizza, and shakshuka. The shakshuka was the star of the show, this was super flavourful and a nice change for a brunch option. There are gluten free options, and the server was helpful in directing me in the right direction for what I could eat, and what she would recommended. Apart from this, the service was a little shocking. Our drink orders were wrong, and one was forgotten. It took over an hour for the food to come out, and before it did, the staff were placing the chairs on top of the tables, even though it was at least 15 minutes to closing time. Because of this we felt incredibly rushed, and our food hadn’t even come yet. Workers at the restaurant then stood at the bar and watched us when the food did come out and we started to eat. We had to call for our silverware to start eating, and then had to find someone later to find the bread for the second dish we ordered. We felt rushed and unable to enjoy our meal with the restaurant essentially closing down around us while we tried to eat the meal we drove over an hour for.

I go for their gluten free donuts on Wednesday and Saturday. They're delicious and I love that I have flavor options. Only downside I'd say is it seems like there might be some cross contamination going on with the toppings.

Lexy McCauley

Love this place! The food is so good. They have a great selection of drinks and food. I went with my family and most of us got burritos or tacos. I got the vegan burrito in a gluten-free wrap. Everyone enjoyed what they got. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the origin of the restaurant name (Alto Cinco means high five and it has to do with everything being hand made). Cute shops and other restaurants around here, too!

The only place I’ve ever had a gluten free Stromboli!

Small shop with 4 small tables for seating. Displayed slices and desserts looked delicious! We ordered a buffalo chicken ranch wrap and a Gluten Free pizza. The GF pizzas only come in a "medium" size, not by the slice. Service was quick and friendly!

Elizabeth Sciore-Jones

Food was fresh and clean. The avocado smash toast was really good and they don’t skimp on ingredients, you can get Gluten-Free bread, and add a freshly poached egg. It’s nice there is an gf friendly omnivorous healthy option in town . This is a sweet place youthful vibe, but clean. Walk-up counter ordering and pick up. Gf bread could have been more toasted ( that’s the gf secret) otherwise it tastes kinda ehh.

Michael LaBarbera

Really great Thai Food and likely my favorite Thai in the area. Had a big order this evening and they nailed it. They even have gluten free options and that's a huge win for my friend group! Everyone was extremely happy with their individual meals. I had the pad see ew with tofu and it was made to perfection. They have mild medium and hot options, I got mild and there was zero detectable heat for my palate. That's something I prefer as any heat can sometimes be a deterrent for people. So what else can I say but...Thai love it!!

Joseph Rizzo

The Build Your Own bowls are great. I would definitely order them again. Unfortunately, they forgot my added Fresh French Fries in my first takeout order from this restaurant. The food is great, I will give this restaurant another chance to do better. On February 27th 2025 I went back and ordered The Big Cuse Smash Burger on a gluten free bun with fries. It was amazing. Definitely worth the money.

Mardiray

Although pricey, as you would expect for any food found in an airport, Johnny Rockets will make a burger to order and serve it with a smile to the weary traveler. They always seem to manage a gluten free bun.

Katherine Sosa

I was disappointed that dining in wasn’t an option BUT I was very happy with the food I took to go! As a celiac I haven’t had a calzone in ages. Its a rare food to find GF. I had the chicken, bacon, ranch & it was delicious! I also had the strawberry cake & the chocolate caramel cake, both yummy & moist (unlike many gf desserts). The attendee was super helpful & friendly. I’ll come back every time I visit Syracuse.

Tara Tapert

We were so lucky to have our hotel next door to this Dennys! I have Celiac disease and cannot have gluten. The waitress and cook were very mindful of this when preparing my omelette and hash browns, and I am happy to report I did not get glutened! The food was great and hot. Our waitress was fantastic. My only small qualm is that the women's restroom was dirty in 2/3 stalls- however as we were leaving, I heard staff talking about how it would be cleaned ASAP. This seems like a great location!

Terry Brenon

Cozy family diner that caters to gluten sensitivity! Highly recommend!

Russ Cluett

We've been here several times for lunch and are never disappointed. Great food with lots of gluten-free options, large portions, and reasonable prices.

Kelly Tompkins

Menu is fun and unique for those that love pancakes and french toast mixed with cereal and desserts! It's a fun fusion of food. For those with food sensitivities this isn't the place to go. No gluten free pancakes or french toast. Service was quick. Mimosas are delicious!

Joydeep Paul

I was on the road from Rochester to New York and dropped on for breakfast. Missed the time and had a burger with gluten free bread due to my gluten allergy. This place had a warm and homely atmosphere. Very busy, but looked like everybody knew each other. I did not feel out of place as they everyone were friendly. I enjoyed my burger but what I enjoyed most was the mashed potatoes with gravy. It felt like it was made with a lot of love. Imqoll definitely return of I am passing by again.

Gluten free pizza is great

The atmosphere was comfortable, it wasn't overly crowded and the food was phenomenal. Staff was attentive without being overbearing and they got all modifications done correctly. Plenty of gluten- free options

Stopped here on the way through Syracuse a few weeks ago. I got an iced oat milk latte and gluten free muffin - both which were tasty. My only complaint was the line was out the door and the organization of people was a bit chaotic. But it was also a holiday weekend right around when school resumed. I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in town.

Coffee and gluten free banana muffin were top notch!

Stopped in to Mona Lisa today, Sunday. They were serving a buffet menu all day, with different offerings for Breakfast, Brunch and Dinner. (On Sundays offerings are buffet only)My husband had the brunch buffet. There were some nice options, and all the food was homemade. Price seemed reasonable. I was unable to order the buffet as it contained many items which are not comparable with my dietary restrictions. They do have a gluten free menu but they are not contained on the buffet. Initially we considered not being able to stay, however after explaining my dilemma the owner graciously offered to make me one of the gluten free entrees. (See below for more info about dietary restrictions). I ordered the gnocchi with spinach, red pepper and Kalamata olives. It was definitely homemade and delicious. They were amazingly accommodating. Service was good. Would definitely recommend for those in need of gluten free.

Donna Reynolds

I love Wendy's food, which is why I continually endure the long wait at this location. I understand there is an issue getting help, but this particular Wendy's is ridiculously slow. Even when you order at the counter, the wait is endless. I am also not happy that the new ownership has eliminated the 10% senior discount. That's just petty. I'll still go there, though, because the food is fresh and hot, and I love the Southwest Avocado salad. I am gluten intolerant and there aren't many places I can order food for my husband and get something tasty for myself. Get some help, restore the senior discount, and I'll bump you to five stars!!!

This place is not for gluten free or celiac people. Until they change their business listing about being gluten free, all Kubal locations will keep messing up your Google Maps results (I have mentioned this to staff before). They only have a small basket of packaged gluten free brownies. My oat milk latte was not to my liking (it was one of the worst I’ve had and I have tried them at every coffee place in the city), but I know many other people who enjoy their coffee beverages here. The main benefit is the ambience.

It’s easy to get diner food just right, but it’s just as easy to make a mess of it. I’m happy to say, I’ve always had a great meal at The Gem. When ever I’m on this side of town, it’s always my go-to for a fast simple meal (comfort food). Recently, I went by at lunch time, but hadn’t had breakfast that morning. I couldn’t decide what to have. Luckily, I could have both, and partook in the breakfast hamburger platter. Think ‘steak & eggs’ but instead of the steak, you get a burger just the way you like it with all the trimmings (minus the bun) AND eggs, home fries, and toast. (I tend to stay away from gluten, but still, you get the idea). This has since become my new favorite breakfast!

Cora Jokinen

Gluten Free folks rejoice! Vegans and Vegies too. Everyone else won't even notice, but there's excellent food waiting for you! Very relaxed vibe, dog and kid friendly. We heard it gets busy during apple picking season. Otherwise it's very relaxed, plenty of seating and a great farm store on the property too! We chatted with the owners, super nice and engaging. Will definitely be back!

Tom Woodford

Excellent, we shared the small Mediterranean board thinking, we would order another after that, My wife is gluten free and she was happy, She had a pineapple drink and was really happy with it We both thought it was great and we were full. Great value. Highly recommended...

Fun little movie-themed diner with semi-cafeteria style service (order at counter, then your food comes later - "1/2 service" maybe?). They have a quinoa and kale hash that is pretty awesome. I appreciated the efficiency of the 1/2 service system, but all the disposables and lack of milk alternatives or decaf coffee left me bummed. I'd also like to have an option for extra hash/side instead of toast (gluten free sucks, sorry to everyone).

Best bakery I’ve ever been to. They have an amazing selection of juices, smoothies, vegan and Gluten Free breakfast options. It’s a family owned business and the pride in ownership is off the charts. The menu is superb with something for everyone in mind, and the coffee is wonderful as well. When you come to Rai’s you don’t want to leave as you feel like you are leaving family. Thank you Rai’s for being the highlight of my trip to Syracuse.

It's my Journey

First it's the friendly people that work there! The first time I went in was when I was working over in the plaza and I was greeted as soon as I came in mostly it seems quiet there which is nice. But quiet doesn't mean that no one is coming in because well I was waiting for my drink, smoothie and waffle they had a steady stream of people coming in. After having my tea,smoothie and waffle I can absolutely understand why! not only are the people who work there nice and helpful since it was my first time there I did have some questions that they answered. But the tea is great! the first time I got the Lavender Milk tea with boba,it was a nice balance of Lavender with enough sweetness and milk to have it be a nice afternoon drink. I also got the Orange Smoothie with rainbow jellies I upgraded to the larger since it was my lunch and it was refreshing, tasty and well worth the cost to have a healthy lunch, the rainbow jellies added to the fruit flavor of the smoothie making it almost a different flavor with each sip! The Pandan waffle with Ube icecream is a nice addition to everything it's made fresh there to order and it's a nice light almost vanilla flavor on its own but adding the ube icecream enhanced the flavor both work well and it's Gluten free! I've also gotten the green tea and mango with boba, a strawberry banana smoothie and move over Starbucks because if you think you've had dragon fruit from them and like it. You'll love the real deal with them! They also have some fruits on the menu that you don't see everyday like Jackfruit,Lychee,and Durian! I haven't been brave enough yet to try them but I definitely will! You won't regret giving them a try! oh and definitely sign up for their membership! you get upgrades and birthday treats with it!

No longer offer gluten free bagels. They did suggest sandwiches made with hashbrown buns as an alternative. Recess coffee was ok. Accommodating Atmosphere.

Great spot to hang and get some work done. Everyone is super friendly and the coffee/food is great. Gluten free baked goods too!

Minight Moons (Raining_stars)

The staff are friendly and patient, the food’s more on the expensive side but are good nonetheless, I definitely recommend the strawberry lemonade since it has a zesty x sweet mix that balances each other out (be warned of dairy, nuts, and gluten on the menu but it is expected of a café)

Megan Snellings

Was an absolute gift of The Lord to be led to Ethioeritrea Restaurant! I was met with Incredible and Excelsior hospitality from the family ran business, and the phenomenally Inclusive menu was perfect for someone with Celiac Disease and struggles with being welcomed. Even though I entered, presuming I would be dining alone, we were all in Thanksgiving to the obvious...The Lord was with us. We discussed our community, got to know eachother, and shared in spreading hope! I was even taught a beautiful prayer! The meal was amazing, and even I graciously thanked the chefs for creating their dishes with love. I left full: A heart that was overflowing and a happy stomach. I invite lovely neighbors in sharing the blessing of experiencing The Ethioeritrea Restaurant. Lead with Love and you'll find what your heart longs for. Forever grateful, reciprocating the abundance of grace and prayers of peace and prosperity. Thank you Jesus Christ for the wonderful introduction!

Lynnette Mourning

A wide variety of tasty foods and does well with allergens(Gluten-free) lots of delicious desserts.

Lydia M

Cute place to stop for brunch! They were accommodating to allergies and provided gluten free, multigrain toast. The home fries were also GF, and my frittata was delicious! My decaf coffee was watery and they kindly replaced it with a less watery one, but it still wasn’t great. But that’s a minor thing, and I’m looking forward to going again!
