Sach’s Tee House — Restaurant in City of Binghamton

I play pool on the apa league and my first visit there at Sachs, was nothing short of embarrassing when I realized that I did not have my debit card with me, I had worked two overnight double shifts and was running late for league night ,but I managed to find 6 quarters and 4 dimes and 10 pennies in my purse for a 2 dollar soda...The bartender looked at me like I just scraped myself out of my cardboard 📦 home.(which I would never treat anyone like they were beneath me)...fortunately a gentleman at the bar bought my soda for me because the bartender frowned when I was going to pay with my change (just a soda no less)...I was completely embarrassed but really I shouldn't have been. HE HAD SAID WE DONT TAKE CHANGE!..,IM THINKING HUH???, THAT IS ALL, I SWORE I WOULD NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING THERE NEXT TIME... second visit was better but I broke down and bought a soda, but I payed him with 6 quarters 4 dimes and 10 pennies, winked and said remember me?...lol(btw) I had 2 20 dollar bills with me!.. place seems nice though , but the parking lot was designed by a 5 years playing with Tonka trucks..lol...I others ordering food that looks great, haven't eaten there...

Have been meaning to come here for so long! Wondering why we waited! We went in the front entrance, into the bar. We asked if we could eat at the bar and were told we could eat anywhere we liked, but that the bar and restaurant tabs were separate. No problem. We ordered some drinks and grabbed some menus. So many burger/sandwich options, salads, pizzas, wings, appetizers. The server made sure to tell us promptly that it was cash only, good to know. We each got burgers - The Reggie and the Rustler, and instead of chips, did the $2 charge to get house cut fries with one, sweet potato fries with the other. Great presentation, the Rustler was overwhelmingly tall, with a skewer down the middle. The burgers were cooked just right and had take great flavors and seasonings. The fries were great, too, and a huge portion. Don't normally take burgers home for leftovers, but half the Rustler had to come home with us, along with some fries... too yummy to leave behind. Prices are reasonable, everyone working was friendly and helpful... just a neat little place that's apparently been around (with some name changes) since the 1940's! Would...

I'm hesitant to write a review of Sach's because part of the appeal of the place is it's "underground" nature, and too much fanfare might ruin the vibe. But I'll proceed anyway. To put it blunt: Sach's is a divey darts bar with the best restaurant in Binghamton operating out of the kitchen in the back. I personally love the environment – the single waitress, the busy bar, the league dart games happening in the dining room, the $3 charge to use the ATM to pay your cash only tab, but even if it were some other absurd environment that I hated, I'd probably still come for the food. It's easy to see that some places are synthetic – removed from and independent from their environments, placed by disconnected people, while others arise naturally out of their roots. Sach's falls squarely in the latter category. It is perfect for it's time and place and is at once an important keystone for Binghamton's culinary scene, and diamond in the rough of Binghamton. I don't have any pictures because a moment spent taking pictures would be a moment wasted...
