Finally Ours

We had a wonderful brunch here on Sunday. Both breakfast and lunch items were delicious and the quantities were beyond generous. The omelette, grilled cheese burger, and pancakes were all items we’d recommend. The wait staff were very accommodating. We are looking forward to many more meals here.

Only open since September, this diner does very well! On our first visit, we found a big breakfast and lunch menu with several board specials and «nearly everything is homemade.» Our young waitress was funny and nicely attentive. The dining room was quite noisy from machines and the crowd, even though it was a weekday, but our meals were quite good, especially the soup and chili.
On our 2^nd visit, the food was OK, but this time our waitress was the wife half of the owners (he runs the kitchen). She wasn’t pleasant and ignored a couple of simple requests from me, and saying to my companion, «Men, they think they know it all.»
We might be back, but not for a while.

Move over Stellas! The (breakfast) crown now goes to Finally Ours! I have been going to Stellas for YEARS but I recently tried Finally Ours and this place is worth the drive. It’s not in the most convenient location, but I’m sure folks who live in the Onondaga Hill/​Marcellus/​Camillus area are stoked to have a place this tasty in their own backyard. Everything is very flavorful — great grill taste. No extra seasoning added, and I love things flavorful. Standouts include: corn beef hash, Nan’s potatoes, frittata, and thick, fluffy, tasty pancakes. I never enjoyed corn beef hash until I tried it here. The only thing I don’t understand is why they have half a restaurant opened and the other half sitting empty. This place is busy so make sure you get here early or late, or be prepared to wait! Worth the drive, worth the wait, great flavors, great prices. Outstanding service and abundant coffee refills. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful.

We’ve driven by this place about 4 times and every time the parking lot is full. So on a Thursday afternoon we decided to stop and see if it’s really a restaurant or a used car lot. Glad we stopped! We were seated right away at one of the half dozen unoccupied tables. Service was fast and friendly. I had the Reuben and it was enormous. Hot and flavorful with a side of broccoli — also served hot. The larger half is coming home for dinner. Pat had a big grilled bacon cheeseburger with a side of real potato French fries. The burger was put on thick slices of a grilled cheese sandwich. He enjoyed it and took half home.
We watched as some other diners got their orders. The salads were probably big enough to feed 4 with some leftover.
They have a nice selection of food, but remember, it is a diner so expect diner food. And a lot of it!

Stopped in for lunch and it was very busy. Only had a 20 min wait. Once seated, waitress was right at the table taking care of us! Very impressive for being so busy. We ordered the garbage plate and fish sandwich. Didn’t wait long before it was out to us. The fish was very good and the tarter sauce had flavor. Most sauces are heavy on the mayo. This was a nice change. My husband had the garbage plate. He said it was very good, but was not fantastic. We are very picky and live to go out to eat. I would definitely come back but I will try breakfast next time around. Good job for a new diner!

quintessential american Diner.
Great breakfast food, large portions and good prices. Lunch is also very good, and that «boom bam» sauce is great on both fries and sandwiches.
The service staff is very friendly and attentive, as are the owners. I have been a few times and already feel like I am treated like a regular.
I hope they eventually start staying open for dinner so I can get there more often.

UKI’ve been hearing about this place for weeks and was excited to visit it today for the first time. I’ll start off by saying this was one of the cleanest diners I have been in. The staff was courteous and very pleasant. It was a very busy place which is natural due it being a Sunday. Initially we were told it would be a 25 minute wait but it didn’t take that long at all. When we were brought to our table it was exceptionally clean and we were brought beverages right away. Our server was actually one of the owners which is wonderful to see her on the floor interacting with her Guests and seeing them face to face. I ordered the garbage plate which was 2 eggs cooked how you want, hasbrowns, country fried steak, smothered in sausage gravy. It was delicious. The gravy was incredible, my eggs were cooked perfectly, and the steak was very tasty. Some of the other dishes that were ordered at my table included a omelette, corned beef hash, and some delicious looking pancakes. If I didn’t inhale my food I would have taken a few pictures. The pricing was great as well, definitely affordable. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Typical diner food. Nothing special.
Prefer the new ownership of the valley diner on route 20 Marcellus !!

We joined friends for breakfast at Finally Ours (they’d come for lunch a week ago). We arrived at 9:30 on a Sunday and were told there was a 20 minute wait (the place was hopping!). We expected some wait, so stood in an unused room chatting among ourselves and with others waiting for a table. We were seated in about 15 minutes and drink orders were taken immediately.
Our food order was taken right after the drink order. Wait staff were very efficient and very friendly (we learned that many were family members of the owners). The food arrived promptly and all four orders were delicious. Eggs over easy were done perfectly, pancakes were light and fluffy. Half frittata was a generous portion and again, delicious. Coffee was good. All of the food was served at the right temperature and it was all great. Our friends said they had a similar experience at lunch last week.
Service was attentive, with frequent coffee refills and wait staff checked if we needed anything else 2 – 3 times after the food arrived, especially impressive given how busy they were. The restaurant was very clean, seating was comfortable, it was just a little loud (one large room) but not so loud as to interfere with normal conversation.
Highly recommended.

We love this place so much! Delicious food and fast service. Their Nanas potatoes and sweet cakes are especially wonderful.

My wife and I live out in Marietta, so there’s not too much around for food. We’d passed by a couple times when they first opened and decided to wait for the initial open craziness to die down a bit. Today, we wanted diner breakfast food, so we figured we’d drive down and see how it was looking.
Still packed. But not out the door anymore, and we were sat immediately. The staff was very friendly and the place looks really nice inside. We were sat at a very small table, without silverware. Chalked that up to new opening growing pains. Not a big deal.
We looked through the menu, which is bigger than what is posted online. Nice menu with a lot to choose from, mostly breakfast but a good amount of lunch style options as well. Some really good sounding burgers and sandwiches. While sitting we realized how noisy it is inside, but they have a sign on the door saying they’re working on it, so they’re obviously aware of the problem.
We placed our order and waited. A long time. Probably an hour. My wife and I are realists and expected a long wait, since they are still fairly new. Kitchens get backed up, especially new ones, and we understand that. We were checked on several times while we waited, by our server and other servers just checking if we needed refills or anything of the kind. We were told several times that our food was coming, including by one of the owners.
Right before our food came out, after about an hour as I said, the owner, noticing how long we’d been there waiting, came over, apologized and said our food was on them. Classy, unnecessary move. As I said, my wife and I expected a longer wait, weren’t complaining, and told her it was unnecessary. She insisted and thanked us for our patience and being polite about the wait.
Our food finally came out and everything was delicious. My wife had chocolate chip pancakes, which were huge, and a couple sides. I had a breakfast garbage plate, which had a fried steak, scrambled eggs, hash browns and biscuit covered in homemade sausage gravy.
On our way out, the owner apologized again and thanked us for coming in. We told her we’d be back.
All in all, food is good, staff is friendly and ownership is classy and considerate. All factors that keep customers like us coming in.

Thrilled to have a restaurant back at Cedarvale Road & W. Seneca Tpke! I have been several times and will make this a regular spot for sure. Now in full swing, the friendly owners and staff still welcome all with open arms offering great food in large portions at great prices. Breakfast all day and lunch currently served in a new comfortable setting. It’s a bit noisy but the owners are working on making some noise go away. I can attest to delicious turkey with mashed potatoes, western egg sandwiches, eggs and bacon with huge pancakes, fresh fruit, beverage refills, and bakery delights from Geddes Bakery. My take home order of strawberry shortcake — biscuits made in house and that came with ice cream — could have fed three. Thrilled it was only for me! If you are in the area of this restaurant between Marcellus and Onondaga Hill, you need to drop by!

Came back with my Pop for lunch. Place was packed. I had the Patty Melt with fries. Huge! And the fries were delicious. My 85 year old father had the western omelet sandwich on a hard roll (he took off the top, declaring it was «too much bread» then demolished the sandwich! I had a lemonade and he had coffee. Service was attentive despite the crowd. Prices reasonable for lunch too and I packed up half my sandwich for later. All the hard surfaces in the restaurant made for a noisy meal, though. If they can get some sound deadening tiles or similar on the ceiling, this will be the perfect lunch spot as well. Note: my wheelchair didn’t fit in the bathroom stall so had to lock the bathroom door for privacy, therefore tying up the other stall. Oops!

New diner near us! We came in for breakfast and were not disappointed! I had the Eggs Benny special and my husband had the Garbage Plate. They both had great flavor and were large servings. All the staff are working like crazy and it’s nice to see them help each other out. We will be back regularly for sure!
