A relative took us to this restaurant. It was crowded mid-afternoon on a weekday so we knew it had to be good. The food was excellent. The portions were large and everything appeared to be made fresh. No frozen fries or fish.

Always great breakfast! I love love love getting breakfast at stellas! The closest to nyc style diner with breakfast, which I miss so much when I'm up here at school. However, the wait, hours and service don't compare to the big apple.

My son who goes to Syracuse introduced us to Stella's. As a college student with limited budget and big appetite Stella's can't be beat. Breakfast choices are plentiful, large portioned and very reasonable. Very popular so expect to wait. Don't let the line change your plans. the tables turn around quickly. It is so worth the wait. You will love... More

I love their breakfasts, their rice pudding, their shakes, and burgers & fries. I have been many times with friends and family. The portions are ridiculously generous, but everything is very tastey. The staff are all very friendly and the prices is right. What's not to like? My only negative comment is the coffee is WAY too weak. These great... More

I had the goulash with spicey sausage and the portion was large enough to feed 2 1/2 people. All the portion sizes are huge and flavorful.... More

We like to meet up with friends who come form other parts of the country (as we do) at holiday time to have our families share a meal. We've tried several places over the years. This place tops all we've tried. Most breakfast diners don't really accomodate well a party of 15. Stella's did and without breaking a sweat. The... More

If you're passing thru Syracuse, NY area, Stella's is literally less than 5 minutes off the thruway, and well worth the time. The food is great, the breakfast or burgers are delicious. Fries were crisp and perfect. The Cheese steak was great too. Worth the stop.
