Mom's — Restaurant in City of Syracuse

This is the quintessential local diner. The food is in the diner style but not necessarily diner food. The menu selection is incredibly varied with something for everyone. Vegan and vegetarian are readily available. Everything is prepared to your exact preference without fail. Mom's Diner is a family owned and family operated, often with the owners being on site and having coffee, etc. The whole staff is very friendly and accommodating. I've never had to compromise on any order, the service is unparalleled. Mom's is about a block away from my house and is the go to restaurant for any situation. Mom's Diner is a local gem that's earned it's reputation and respect of the community. I honestly don't have any critiques or negative feelings to relay. Eat at Mom's Diner, you won't regret it.

I am from a few hours out of town and I used to go to school in the area. I travel in to have Mom's and more than once have I driven with others only to be turned down at the door because they have decided to close early.

I used to love this place in college and went daily but now I am disappointed. Would love to keep coming here but it's difficult to plan the trip if I'm not sure I...

In past I was warned about going to a restaurant with "Mom" in the name. But I had to make an exception. Ambience is your typical neighborhood diner. Padded red seats and chairs that they got from an old banquet hall. Tables are wobbly with the occasional folded paper to stabilize them. As for the food, well its greasy, but a good greasy. You can tell the cooking grills have built up years of flavor and its tasted in every bite. I'd stick to menu items that are cooked off the grill, like burgers and eggs. Don't expect five star service, cause it can get busy, although you will get friendly smiling faces from employees that genuinely like working there. Subtract a star because it can be brutal to park...
