Cafe Jarosz — Restaurant in Town of Manlius

Me and the family changed our original plans for lunch today, and stopped at Cafe Juan today around 2pm!

It's mostly a one man crew, but the customer service was stellar!

The food was fantastic as well! I ordered Hot Chicken Riggies with high hopes and low expectations. My wife ordered Mac and Cheese with BBQ Pork on top My son ordered plain Mac and Cheese We shared an order of Pretzel Sticks

The Riggies were the best I've had since I lived in Rome! Come to find out that dude is from Utica himself, home of the best Riggies in the state!

I tried my wife's Mac and pork, which was pretty fire too. The pork was smoked and full of flavor, with plenty of BBQ sauce added. The Mac was pretty good too! Not the best I've had, but I also like a real cheesy and thicker Mac and Cheese. My wife enjoyed hers though!

My son liked his food too, though he didn't finish for no reason that matters here.

The pretzel sticks were super good! Warm and fluffy and whatever dipping sauce he gave us, was tasty. Different but tasty. It was a little zesty maybe? But it was good!

Soda cans were $2 a piece also.

He had his kids chillin in the dining area which I thought was pretty cool. That shows the friendly family vibe he's going for, and it works!

It also has an art store next door, a Bar/barn next door, and I was told there is glass blowing down stairs on the weekends along with a flea market!

All in all the experience was awesome! I'll definitely be going back for them Riggies! And he is...

Took my Dad and his gf to lunch yesterday. They had the curry soup, they had never had any curry and I assured them this was GOOOOOOOD curry. I had the stout chili. Now I make really good chili, I just recently started adding stout to it...I am not even close to the same caliber chili cook. The flavor is just so rich and deep. I had the eggplant panini and it was delicious. My dad had the bbq panini and said it was one of the best sandwiches he's had it a really long time. His gf had the Chipotle chicken, and because they had reservations in Pennsylvania for tonight, I get to eat her left over half for lunch. There were leftovers only because the panini sizes were plenty large. My only constructive criticism is they need more drink options, but that isn't big enough to even remove a...

Run, don't walk, to get this delish food! We had homemade riggies, and while it was our first experience with riggies (out of staters!), any other restaurant will have a high bar to be as good as these. We also had the homemade mac, which is so rich and not dry at all. And the smoked turkey panini with cranberry mayo and arugula.....The turkey wasn't just deli meat like you find everywhere else -- it is full on turkey breast smoked by the owner himself. You owe it to your taste buds to give this place a try! Best of all, the prices won't break the bank and the portions are generous! Grab some food here and then head over to the brewery next door with indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a 5 star experience that we just happened to get lucky picking as we...
