Oh My Darling

I been wanting to try this place for a while but never had the time too. I was so excited I finally got to try. I went for Breakfast it was okay in a good way. I’m not going say it was bad but I felt like my shrimp and grits was missing something. I didn’t care for my pancakes. I love pancakes with crispy edges. I love the vibe inside though. The atmosphere was like cuteness and cozy!

This was my first time making it into oh my darling!, I have tried to go for brunch a couple of times but the way it was longer than we had to wait. I also ordered takeout quite a while ago and was not too impressed, but wanted to get a real dine in experience. The place is very cute on the inside, I really like the decor, we were seated quickly during a pretty busy lunch time. I ordered the upstate rum punch, it was a little strong but I managed lol. For appetizer, we wanted to get the smashed potato poutine but they were out, they did not tell us they were out until we went to order it which was unfortunate. We ended up getting the spinach artichoke dip, it was pretty good, nothing to rave about or complain about, they do give you very little chips which is odd. For entrees we got the chicken sandwich, the person I was with got the beef stew over egg noodles, and we ordered a side of honey Dijon roasted brussel sprouts. Both meals were pretty mediocre and under seasoned, in my opinion. The chicken sandwich had a nice texture and was cooked nice, but very bland . The beef stew over egg noodles was cooked pretty good, most of the meat was pretty tender but again, lacking seasoning. Again, the meal wasn't horrible, just not worth the price in my opinion. Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwiches have more flavor. The brussel sprouts were cooked very good, just wish there was more flavor, I didn't really get any of the honey Dijon notes. When were done I wanted to order a chicken salad sandwich to go and was informed they were out of that as well, again, very disappointing to be told after the fact. We ended up getting lee lees chicken sandwich, the person who had that said it was pretty good, probably the best thing out of the whole order. All in all, I don't think I would go back. There are many choices to go for lunch in Syracuse and the flavor is just weren't hitting for me. Maybe I'll try brunch sometime and update my review.

Oh My Darling. Oh My God! (I can't be the first to write that!) Summer brunch was divine. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Started with Clementine Cosmo. Perfectly tart, sweet and boozy. Kept sniffing the lemon peel garnish after the drink was long gone. Coffee from Finger Lakes - Jamaican Me Crazy - had just enough hazelnut vibe to smell yummy without being too sweet. Chicken and waffles. Just yes. Yes yes. Can I have an Amen? Returned for another visit - continues to please! For brunch order a Bloody Mary. It will not disappoint. Sweet potato fries served with a yummy dipping sauce. Get. Croque Monsieur was a top choice this time. We thought the cornbread was a bit dry and over-crumbly this time. Overall, this Syracuse standard remains a favorite!

We stopped in as we were headed to the airport for an early dinner. So glad they were open at 4pm. Our food was amazing, the beef stew was more like beef stroganoff and the pasta tasted homemade. Our waiter was very personable but the manager was making a lot of noise talking to the employees. We were the only guests and it was as if he didn’t know we were there. It didn’t detract from our experience. I would give it five stars for sure!
