Customer Reviews
“ What a great hamburger!! I think it was one of the best I ever had. It was a simple one, forgot the name but was amazing! The sweet potato friers were spot on too!! The chicken sub and the tots were ok, nothing special. The beignet was super duper oily lol definitely different from New Orleans ones, but is all good. Was totally worth for the burger!! Edit- the burger name is downtown deluxe!! Try it ”
“ I have to admit I had no faith in this place despite the good reviews… As soon as you walk in there is a friendly and polite gentleman ready to help you with anything you need. I chose the bagel with eggs and tots: LOVED IT!!! I will definitely go back! ”
“ So, our first time at this little gem (not the other LG), and the experience was top notch. From being welcomed by the gentleman taking orders and running the register, to receiving our food fast and both choices being absolutely delicious, with high quality generous portions. We had the Notorious BLTE (me) and the Broadway Wrap, and were both impressed, humming and bobbing our heads ’yes’, the entire time. Not sure what else to say except, we’ll be back! Oh, my better half asked for hot cocoa, and they were out. So, the gentleman who took out order went out of his way to whip up a hot cocoa with whatever they had in back, and my love found it absolutely delicious as well. Thank you AHC, we’ll see you soon. ”
“ First time visitor. Was in Syracuse for family weekend and found this local spot for a terrific late Sunday morning breakfast. Due to the busy weekend, a little wait time for a table and some more for the made-to-order delish breakfast. Definitely plan to visit again when in the area. ”
“ Super cute place!! Came here for the first time this morning for breakfast, we were greeted instantly and the employee was super helpful and patient as we made our orders. The food is fresh, tasty, hot and decently priced. I got the breakfast special of sausage , egg and cheese on a plain bagel and it was huge! It comes with the best tots I've had in a long time. Hubby loved his btle sandwich and tots also! The building is super cute and unique. I highly recommend stopping in for some good food. ”
“ Absolutely amazing! The gentleman at the counter was super friendly and the food was to die for. The coffee was fresh and delicious with the mocha in particular being one of the best I’ve ever tasted! I’d highly recommend getting one of their breakfast sandwiches. I got the maple one and it was top notch! If you’re in downtown Syracuse, then you NEED to check the place out! ”
“ Happened upon this gem while visiting and it was a stroke of luck. Amazing place. We were greeted by the nicest guys who made us an amazing lunch. Burgers are top notch. Perfect crinkle cut fries. Clean and friendly atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend. ”
