Redwood Diner: 121 E Manlius St, East Syracuse, (315) 437-5790
Near our neighborhood, we enjoy the friendly people here, and I especially like Jim’s Omelet. A very good traditional diner.
JR Diner: 1208 Wolf St, Syracuse, (315) 472-2267
A very friendly family-run operation. Good food – so good, that at times, you’ll have to wait.
Arctic Island: 210 E Seneca Tpke, Syracuse, (315) 469-1234
A large number of yummy flavors. Given their really tough competition right down the street, Gannon’s, they deserve a lot of credit for their success.
Gannon’s: 1525 Valley Dr, Syracuse, (315) 469-8647
So good! I’ve been going here for many years. They slightly get the nod over Arctic Island, also very good, right up the street.
