A diner that reminds me of weekends going to breakfast with my grandparents when I was young. The food is amazing, and the service is spectacular. The Gem is a diamond in the rough, a perfect idea of a classic American diner.

We went to breakfast and had decaf tea, scrambled eggs, toast with peanut butter, fried potatoes and grits. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and we had good service.
The Gem Diner has been a Syracuse landmark for over 60 years. Founded in 1950 this diner is a throwback to a time when stainless steel dining cars were serving up great American food all over the northeast.
Recently expanded to accommodate the generations of Syracusans that make The Gem Diner their destination for a warm welcome, great service and our famous omelets, burgers and classic diner food.
If you are looking for a first-class diner experience including an endless cup of coffee, drive just a few minutes past Destiny USA and look for the neon sign and the classic car out front. You won’t leave hungry!
