Came to Syracuse for a day trip and had decided to eat at Empire Brewing Company because of their support for local agriculture. The food has a Southern Louisiana flair, and there are plenty of options available on the menu. My fried chicken was excellent, crispy outside, moist flavorful meat. The red beans and rice it came with were lacking... More

The atmosphere here can't be beat. Very upbeat, and casual. It's the perfect spot to grab a beer, or to meet friends for dinner. The service couldn't have been better. All of the people working were friendly, and seemed happy to be there. The food was good, and I'm going to have to back. I'd like to work my way... More

Good... great... superb! I LOVED this place. We came here with a friend and my 18month old. I love how this is an "adult oriented" place but is kid friendly -- Good kids menu, changing tables. All this but still being a terrific place mom and dad can enjoy good foor and good drinks. The beer was terrific and thought... More

Have been to Empire on a number of occasions, most recently for brunch. Nice looking place, great beers, locally sourced upscale pub food. All pluses, especially for home sweet home Syracuse. I like the place, and the basket of apples by the front door's always a nice touch. This last time in, though, while not a bad time overall, left... More

Very cool decor and the staff was very friendly. The fish tacos were very good and so were the hamburgers. If you like craft beer they have a wide selection of tasty beers.

I am a brewer and this beer is top notch. There were some white collar, yet white trashy lawyers harassing a homeless man on the street and the staff took care of the scum by telling them to beat it. I would recommend this spot to anybody.

I was in Syracuse for the night because of a shopping trip with family and we decided to come to Empire Brewing Company due to it's appearance on Diners Drive Ins and Dives... and we were not dissapointed! We arrived around 9 for dinner and to wait an hour to be seated but it wasnt an issue since we got... More

We haven't been to Empire Brewing in a very long time and thought that we'd give it a try to see if it was any better than what we remembered. Unfortunately it wasn't very good at all. We decided to go with two different fajita dishes, and wanted to start with chips and dip. The chips were $3...no salsa at... More

My wife and I have eaten here a few times over the years; it's a nice place in the Armory Square area of downtown, and has always been a good choice. We had lunch again there recently, and the experience was nicer than I remembered. The restaurant is in the basement of an older building, but the decor is nicely... More
