My coworker wanted to try take out from here and they have a limited GF menu: GF bread for burgers/sandwiches. Please note the fries are NOT celiac safe, so I got a side salad. Also sauces are limited as some contain beer. The staff was extremely knowledgeable about gluten, and my food was phenomenal! 🍔
Great place to visit, the food was very good and super tasty. My wife has a celiac disease, and I am happy to report she had no issues with this place, and felt great after eating there.
The place is small and can get very loud, kinda hard to talk to the people that you are eating with.
Also, they did mess up our order and got us 2 of the ribs instead of what we ordered, but it was still very tasty.
Overall very good place to go and eat, good atmosphere, music a bit too LOUD!
Prices are good, we were 4 people had food and drinks and the bill was around $100 ( not including tip).
Recommend.
We showed up early on a Sunday thinking we wouldn't need a reservation. It took us 45 min to get in, but it was worth the wait. Delicious food and great service. Very attentive to my gluten allergy! I was missing the bread and dipping sauce, so the server brought me some broccoli to dip and my own sauce. SO good! Thank you
My Partner and I ordered online and upon arriving I was very impressed by the atmosphere in here. Lots of great places to sit and eat inside and outside. The aroma of food was amazing, it made my mouth water. The service was incredible, greeting every customer with a smile and took customer concerns very seriously. You can tell that the staff want the customers to have an authentic experience. I got the fried chicken sandwich and my partner got buffalo wings. Absolutely everything on the sandwich was fresh from the lettuce and tomato to the sauce. The wings here are like no other, they are practically boneless with a crispy exterior that makes them absolutely perfect. Strong hearts is also very inclusive of those with dietary restrictions, including a menu of gluten free and vegan options. Overall the entire experience here was amazing and I will definitely be a frequent customer
Came here for a family birthday dinner and had an incredible time. Our server was great, food tasted very good, and the atmosphere really made the experience. Menu is also easy to navigate for gluten free options.
Great service: complimentary chips and sauce with tea
Food: generous portion sizes overall. gluten free options! the pad thai was reminiscent of ketchup and had carrots in it. wasn’t exactly traditional but not bad. wish they could have cut the chicken chunks into smaller sizes. gluten free spring rolls were good and very crunchy.
Atmosphere: average
Great, healthy meal options—especially for gluten free people! I did a create your own bowl and added steak as my protein. It was super tasty! It’s a great place to go with family or friends. There’s options for everyone.
Things to know:
Slaw = Raw Cabbage (for texture! No Mayo. This is a good thing).
Allergies = Super friendly. Clearly marked on all menu items; able to alter order for GF/DF for my wife who has Celiac.
Ambiance = bomb. Music was straight passion pit and phoenix. Bob’s burgers on the TV. Chattering teeth toys hanging from the ceiling. What more can you ask for?
Service = incredible. Andrea was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and struck a great balance between making sure we had what we needed right away and leaving us be so we could enjoy our food. Her recommendations were spot on.
Prices/portions = also spot on.
Happy Hour = Half priced beer every day 4-7pm. It’s also not busy at all. Come here then.
Creole Fish & General Tso’s Shrimp Tacos = to die for. Literally. The shrimp taco was so spicy it almost killed me. I loved every minute of it.
Fly Bird = Nothing to write home about. This was my first visit and I hope I just caught them on a bad day, but I expected fresh tenders and these seemed like they were frozen/overly breaded. I’ll try again before I write it off wholesale. Redemption: the Fly Bird Custom Sauces were great and worth the extra $1.50. Try the Banana Pepper Honey Mustard. Perfect blend of sweet and spicy.
Great service! Very accommodating! Good food, able to eat safely here as gluten free with staff understanding of cross contamination issues. Lovely meal!
While the food was good, the experience was less so. The menu has a large selection of everything you could hope for a good brunch, we opted for some lattes, mimosa flights, breakfast pizza, and shakshuka. The shakshuka was the star of the show, this was super flavourful and a nice change for a brunch option. There are gluten free options, and the server was helpful in directing me in the right direction for what I could eat, and what she would recommended. Apart from this, the service was a little shocking. Our drink orders were wrong, and one was forgotten. It took over an hour for the food to come out, and before it did, the staff were placing the chairs on top of the tables, even though it was at least 15 minutes to closing time. Because of this we felt incredibly rushed, and our food hadn’t even come yet. Workers at the restaurant then stood at the bar and watched us when the food did come out and we started to eat. We had to call for our silverware to start eating, and then had to find someone later to find the bread for the second dish we ordered. We felt rushed and unable to enjoy our meal with the restaurant essentially closing down around us while we tried to eat the meal we drove over an hour for.
Love this place! The food is so good. They have a great selection of drinks and food. I went with my family and most of us got burritos or tacos. I got the vegan burrito in a gluten-free wrap. Everyone enjoyed what they got. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the origin of the restaurant name (Alto Cinco means high five and it has to do with everything being hand made). Cute shops and other restaurants around here, too!
I go for their gluten free donuts on Wednesday and Saturday. They're delicious and I love that I have flavor options. Only downside I'd say is it seems like there might be some cross contamination going on with the toppings.
Small shop with 4 small tables for seating. Displayed slices and desserts looked delicious! We ordered a buffalo chicken ranch wrap and a Gluten Free pizza. The GF pizzas only come in a "medium" size, not by the slice. Service was quick and friendly!
An absolutely amazing experience. Aiden our server was fantastic and the manger Geoff went above and beyond. We were visiting from Canada and the service and food were above and beyond. Gluten free option was so tasty and satisfying. Geoff was even called to bring my gluten free meal separately so there was no cross contamination. Standing ovation from our whole table!!!!! Well done all around.
This is a diverse and welcoming space. With a variety of cats and amazing staff. They even offer gluten free treats! I feel happy and safe at Pawsitvitea CNY cat lounge and Cat Cafe!!
My bestie and I went here for dinner. It was such a wonderful experience. The food was craveworthy. I got the honey glazed carrots with whipped goat cheese as an appetizer. For an entree, I got the Riggies, gluten-free. The portion size of the Riggies was ginormous! The staff were amazing.
I was disappointed that dining in wasn’t an option BUT I was very happy with the food I took to go! As a celiac I haven’t had a calzone in ages. Its a rare food to find GF. I had the chicken, bacon, ranch & it was delicious! I also had the strawberry cake & the chocolate caramel cake, both yummy & moist (unlike many gf desserts). The attendee was super helpful & friendly. I’ll come back every time I visit Syracuse.
Food was fresh and clean. The avocado smash toast was really good and they don’t skimp on ingredients, you can get Gluten-Free bread, and add a freshly poached egg. It’s nice there is an gf friendly omnivorous healthy option in town . This is a sweet place youthful vibe, but clean. Walk-up counter ordering and pick up.
Gf bread could have been more toasted ( that’s the gf secret) otherwise it tastes kinda ehh.
Really great Thai Food and likely my favorite Thai in the area. Had a big order this evening and they nailed it. They even have gluten free options and that's a huge win for my friend group! Everyone was extremely happy with their individual meals. I had the pad see ew with tofu and it was made to perfection. They have mild medium and hot options, I got mild and there was zero detectable heat for my palate. That's something I prefer as any heat can sometimes be a deterrent for people. So what else can I say but...Thai love it!!
A great little sandwich shop to check out especially if you want something less expensive. They have gluten free bread. Around $8 for a sandwich at the moment. Also selling the buckets they make the pickles in for $2 currently which is great for gardening work if you do that.. highly recommend!
The Build Your Own bowls are great. I would definitely order them again. Unfortunately, they forgot my added Fresh French Fries in my first takeout order from this restaurant. The food is great, I will give this restaurant another chance to do better.
On February 27th 2025 I went back and ordered The Big Cuse Smash Burger on a gluten free bun with fries. It was amazing. Definitely worth the money.
Although pricey, as you would expect for any food found in an airport, Johnny Rockets will make a burger to order and serve it with a smile to the weary traveler. They always seem to manage a gluten free bun.
We were so lucky to have our hotel next door to this Dennys! I have Celiac disease and cannot have gluten. The waitress and cook were very mindful of this when preparing my omelette and hash browns, and I am happy to report I did not get glutened! The food was great and hot. Our waitress was fantastic. My only small qualm is that the women's restroom was dirty in 2/3 stalls- however as we were leaving, I heard staff talking about how it would be cleaned ASAP. This seems like a great location!
We've been here several times for lunch and are never disappointed. Great food with lots of gluten-free options, large portions, and reasonable prices.
great hidden gem of a bakery. so good. the everything croissant was awesome. everything delicious. would recommend for a few more gluten free options as a suggestion
Menu is fun and unique for those that love pancakes and french toast mixed with cereal and desserts! It's a fun fusion of food. For those with food sensitivities this isn't the place to go. No gluten free pancakes or french toast. Service was quick. Mimosas are delicious!
I was on the road from Rochester to New York and dropped on for breakfast. Missed the time and had a burger with gluten free bread due to my gluten allergy. This place had a warm and homely atmosphere. Very busy, but looked like everybody knew each other. I did not feel out of place as they everyone were friendly. I enjoyed my burger but what I enjoyed most was the mashed potatoes with gravy. It felt like it was made with a lot of love. Imqoll definitely return of I am passing by again.
Excellent food, excellent service, awesome gluten free choices. This was quite possibly the best restaurant meal we have had in years. Thank you to the amazing wait staff & to the skilled kitchen staff for a meal we'll remember for a very long time!
I have to be gluten-free and this restaurant had a nice selection. I had the barbecue pork flatbread and it was delicious. Crispy bread and great flavor. Thank you for having options and being aware of GF issues.
The highlight of our wedding three months ago was the Gannon’s Homemade Ice Cream cart—I’m craving another scoop of the Cookie Smash (that is gluten free) right now! Working with Jules was easy and she was very responsive. We had a blast sampling ice cream flavors at their location on Valley Drive. The staff was great and let us try so many flavors to help us settle on the six we picked for our wedding. The young man who worked at our wedding was very kind and polite. Did a great job setting up the ice cream cart and topping station during the dinner portion of our reception. Looking at the photos, I think he had a great time. He also let us put on some gloves to scoop our first ice cream Sundays as husband and wife. If you’re looking for delicious homemade ice cream and a crowd pleaser, book Gannon’s Homemade Ice Cream Cart for your wedding or event.
Great for gluten free. Hamburgers are fresh and aren't able to be near gluten. Then the fries are the only food fried so are gluten free and fresh and yummy this day.
