They claim "Best Texas BBQ outside of Texas", and I could believe it. Expect a 1-2 hour wait at almost any time to get a table, but it is worth it. Grab a beer and order of fried green tomatoes while you wait. Insanely popular and famous throughout New York (and beyond). Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and live music certain nights of the week, starting at 8 or 9pm.

Price Rite is just barely walkable if you're in Syracuse without a car. It is about a mile away, though you have to cross some busy intersections to get there. It is a budget grocery store with a lot of character. We shop there regularly, but it probably won't be what you're used to!
