Cozy Ambiance, Great Dining & Service. Complimentary Sourdough Bread is Delicious. We will be happy to return back to Riley’s soon.

Were charged a fee for using a credit card. Dumbfounded I told our waitress this was quite unfair to which she replied “everyone is doing that” (missing the point entirely). I told her she has lost us as customers (been coming for 30 years). A...waitress in hearing distance muttered “for $3?”. Wow....didn’t expect that! Never, ever again Riley’s....greedy, greedy...and rude! Let’s all stand up against this.More

Stopped for birthday dinner with family. Classic Irish pub setting. Family owned. The Haddock was outstanding. The desserts are home made and outstanding. Awesome night

Has been several years due to a move but in town for business and Riley’s is always s great spot for a drink and food Had s nice drink with Jackie now at Riley’s over 29 years and am excellent bowl of bean less chili...I have had many wonderful times at this restaurant and I hope it never closedMore

Black and blue burger was fine but for $15 - $16 it wasn't that great. Also the top shelf shots are $7 - $9 each, bottled domestic was $3.50 5 pm 2 burgers, 2 beer and 2 top shelf drinks was $57.00 - too rich...for my blood next time.More

Went here for dinner with 3 colleagues from out of town with the intent of trying something local, but not one of my regular places. Sat at the corner of the bar for a pre-dinner beer and enjoyed the setting and bartender, so we decided...to eat dinner at the bar. The menu is handwritten on one side daily and the flip side is typed, listing more of the regular items and sandwich type choices. They featured fresh fish, steak and other dishes that were very different from the typical menu items commonly found everywhere. Riley’s is an old historic neighborhood type bar and restaurant. It has a lot of great character and a warm environment. They have about 8 -10 parking spaces behind the place, as well as street parking. Our bartender was a great host who was very pleasant to interact with and I look forward to trying this place again soon.More

Walked in and felt like regulars even though we weren’t, but plan to be now!! Lunch with the girls, server was fun and didn’t mind that we had late arrivals. Food was great, the walleye was a big hit! Always something new on the menu...and standards for the less adventurous. No rush, great atmosphere. Will be back!!More

I've been eating at Riley's for over 30 years and it has never disappointed. My wife and I ate there at the end of September and I had Arctic char cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes and veggies. The chef is amazing. They have a...wide selection of beers and wines. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend Riley's. It's near the corner of Oak and Park StreetsMore

Riley's is a wonderful experience of a true old Syracuse establishment. they have remained open and providing great food and refreshments for many - many years. I believe Riley's is one of the oldest establishments in the city. You will certainly enjoy it's charm and...if the walls could talk????More

Recently had dinner at Riley's. The booth was cozy, but so dark we had to hold the menus under the dim light. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed the flank steak with a yummy sauce and mashed sweet potatoes. Also had that nights blue plate...which consisted of a pork burger, French fries and a creamy tomato and cuke salad. All dishes were plentiful and tasty. We shared a walnut pie which was full of nuts and thankfully not as sweet as a pecan pie, which was great. Would recommend this wonderful restaurant.More

I discovered Riley's through a recommendation from a counselor at my children's college. She mentioned that it was a local, "neighborhoody" spot with great food. The menu changes every day. I had the FRY-DAY special which included some of the freshest and tastiest fried seafood...that was light and not greasy. I had a combo of rock shrimp and clam strips. The bread and desserts were homemade and should not be missed. Our server was friendly and helped us with our selections. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely return for dinner during my next trip to Syracuse and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great meal at a good price.More

Went to Riley’s today for lunch with a friend.....first visit for me...loved the old school ambience with the heavy woods and coffered ceilings......server was very attentive without being overbearing.....both of us ordered the jumbo sea scallops......they were cooked perfectly and were delicious......they were served with...mashed sweet potatoes and baby carrots.....everything was delicious....bread was served fresh and warm.....we shared an apple pie with fresh whipped cream......best apple pie—not overly sweet and crust was perfect and flakey.....this is not your place if you want the traditional same old burger or sandwich but if you want to step back in time and have some great food —Riley’s will be worth a tryMore
