This place is a gem. Great food, service and prices. I've been here several times and always been happy. You can't go wrong choosing this place.

Been waiting to try this place since it reopened.
Good crispy bacon, perfect eggs but the oddest home fries I've ever had. I ordered them with onions of which there were none to be seen and the potatoes themselves were as though someone had taken a portion of mashed potatoes and thrown them on a griddle for about 10 seconds. No way that I can call these home fries. Slightly scorched mashed potatoes is a more accurate description. I really don't like lumps. Service is good and friendly, really nice people but someone needs to show the cook what home fries look like. A little disappointing. -

Gracie's kitchen is tucked away in a small strip mall near Tipp Hill, but it's definitely worth your efforts to put into GoogleMaps to find. The atmosphere is rustic and laid-back, everything that you'd be looking for on a Sunday brunch. We were seated and given coffee right upon walking in. The waitstaff was friendly and our good was delicious. Protip: the half frittata is enough good to feed two people - we ended up bringing half of it home because we all ordered our own meals. Prices were really reasonable given the amount of quality food that you get. Definitely a place to add to your Syracuse breakfast list!

Mary Mandolfo, who has owned and operated "The Neighborhood Grind" diner in Nedrow for the past seven years, opened a new diner in February at 527 Charles Ave, in Geddes Plaza in the village of Solvay. The new diner is named "Gracie's Kitchen,'' after Mandolfo's mother.
I don't really know how I heard about this place, but I had to drop the wife off somewhere today in the area and figured I'd stop in. The cafe occupies the space formerly taken by The Buzz Cafe, right next to Mo Dough.
I walked in about 930 on a Sunday. The place isn't huge, but it's a decent size with a good amount of seating. They only opened about a month or so ago, so there were plenty of seats available, probably still getting new customers in the door.
It's a very nicely decorated place. Has a modern rustic design feel to it. I was told I could pick a seat, so I sat and my menu was brought right over to me.
They have mostly the usual breakfast items you'll see in other diners. Nothing too crazy or creative. They have a larger lunch/dinner menu, but unlike other diners, they don't serve lunch options at all times of the day. I ordered an orange juice and a half meat lovers frittata.
It was made very quickly, probably less than 10 minutes, and was very good. Scrambled eggs stuffed with home fries, sausage, ham, pepperoni and bacon, and I added cheddar cheese on top. Even though I ordered a half, it was still absolutely huge and more than enough for 2 people to have shared, so I took half home with me.
Service was fine, the girl who waited on me was nice and polite and checked in appropriately. Price was definitely fair, as it only came to $12 for an orange juice and a meal that'll feed me twice.
Nice little place, will definitely come back and check out lunch sometime. -

Used to really enjoy going to Gracie's for lunch or dinner, but lately something has changed. Both wait staff and food are mediocre at best; waitress on the noon shift really leaves a lot to be desired. Rarely see her more than the requisite four times: once for drinks, once for orders, food delivery, bill. I know this is a diner, but at least a check bsvk to mske sure all is ok would be nice. Other things occupy her time like friends and phone.
Sad to say, Gracie's is no longer a place where I choose to spend my money. It has really degraded to mediocre at best.
