The Gem Diner

Its been awhile since I've eaten here....and the food was Very Good!
The staff is just great, very kind and helpful. And, the prices are pretty average across the line. So, Go there and enjoy good food, and good atmosphere !

I went to breakfast at the Gem diner. I was greeted immediately and was seat at a booth. Sam, my server, came over and took my drink order. When she returned she took my order of a western omelet without cheese, wheat bread and extra bacon. Home fries came with the meal. Food was delicious and I got 3 pieces of bacon. All staff was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable. A definite "gem". I would go there again.

Glad we found this place! Great food and true diner experience!!!

Called in takeout order 2:45 while leaving doctor. Getleman called us when not there before closing. Told him stuck in traffic. So thankful they waited for us to get there about 3:05 to get wife's food. She loves Gem omelets. What awesome customer service!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at Gem diner in Syracuse, New York the service the atmosphere in the food was tremendously good My family and I give it a five star review definitely gonna go back

The Gem is our "go-to" diner for breakfast. The food is AWESOME, the atmosphere is New Jersey Diner Retro, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Almost all of the staff have been at The Gem for years and that speaks volumes for how well this diner is run. It is well worth the wait on weekend mornings.

Our family chose The Gem Diner for breakfast. The service was fast and friendly. The decor is fantastic with a 50's old fashioned diner vibe. Our breakfasts were served hot and fresh to order. Overall, with many different choices in the area, The Gem Diner is one of our go-to favorites. Highly recommended.

This is the best Ruben sandwich twist ever! It is a Ruben Burger. Perfectly made so that you taste the burger in the corned beef and the corned beef in the hamburger! Amazing flavor! I had mine without bread!
The service is the top notch! Best diner in Syracuse, NY

The menu had a pretty large selection of items priced within a reasonable price range. The place is kept very clean. My hash browns were a bit greasy and plain; however, the omelette was delicious, you could really tastes the veggies. Coffee wasn’t burnt and tasted just right. The staff was very friendly and young. It was crowded and there was a pretty long wait as far a diners are concerned. Other than this everything else was just right if you’re really looking for a great diner experience

Went for an outing with my dad and sister for a special meal after visiting our late mother/ wife. Nostalgic as she loved it there and we had a few meals as a family there. It was lunch time on a Saturday, so very busy and had a wait to be seated. Food took awhile to come out as well, but the server was excellent about refills. When food came, it was hot and excellent quality. I chose "the heart attack". Sausage gravy was tasty, eggs made the way I ordered. All on shredded home fries...a nice touch. My sister was happy with her grilled chicken, and dad loved his burger (that's his "go to"). Definitely won't wait so long to come back next time! Highly recommend.

There's a reason.............for the line. Very busy on a Sunday early afternoon. 10 min. wait and worth it. Great food, super service and wonderful atmosphere. French fries & gravy with the hot turkey. Club sandwich was great. Two thumbs up.

Visited the Gem after some shopping at Destiny with my mom! Quick service and good quality lunch at an affordable price! Love all of the memorabilia inside and outside of the diner, it really brings the restaurant to life! Will definitely be back in the future.

Awesome classic American diner from the decor to the service! Seemed very busy on Saturday mornings with locals. Service was prompt and courteous, coffee was fresh and hot, and the food arrived quickly! I ordered corned beef hash and it was amazing.

Everything I remember from Doc’s, and then some!

I had the Hash Attack - and it was awesome! The service was definitely diner-level (think “coffee always full” and a staff with laughter and attitude).

This Syracuse classic can’t be missed - absolutely make a stop for breakfast or lunch and you won’t be disappointed!

Best diner I feel in the Syracuse area call in your order ready on time always hotter than expected and it tastes great too

Great diner in Syracuse! Wings are amazing along with the breakfast selection. Definitely get the corned beef hash whenever you're out that way.

They have great quality food for a good price. One of my favorite diners in the area and they have good tasting coffee too. Their deep fried oreos are so good and that’s not a common thing to be able to find at a restaurant so it’s nice.

Enjoyed this place very much, took my grandmother who had not been in over 30 years and she loved it as well. The frittata topped with chili was the best!

Loved the Fretta with chilli amd cheese on top so Delicious amd our waiter was very attentive and. Handsome .Nice place to chill and enjoy some Delicious Food

Stop here for breakfast, usually Saturdays, on way to Regional Market. Frequently order French toast/waffle with strawberries and bananna. Good service, good food. Highly recommend
