Gary's Restaurant

Two of us enjoyed a late lunch in this homey restaurant. We were impressed by the spacious layout; there are three separate rooms. The walls are adorned with photographs of historic Lowville. Daily specials are written on blackboards in colorful chalk. We were waited on quickly with drinks. It didn't take long for our entrees to arrive. I ordered the Turkey burger, which is always a risk because it is so easy to overcook. No worries... it was nice and juicy. My companion ordered their "Schnee-burger", a tasty but messy sandwich smothered in sauteed onions, mushrooms and cheese. We both chose the creamy coleslaw for our sides. Services was polite and the food was satisfying and fairly priced.

We just happened to be passing through Lowville and needed to grab a bite to eat. So Gary's it was. Never been but figured what the heck lets give it a shot. We were all happy with our meals. It's a decent size diner with two rooms and plenty of helpful staff. Food was good. Service was good. We'd stop again if in the area.

Average in almost every way. However, for Lowville the "consistent" quality in the food is unmatched by anyone in town, including Jebs. Its not that Jebs is bad, I prefer their food almost every time. Unfortunately with Jebs I have had the rare occasion where my food has been overcooked or not made to order. Gary's doesn't have that issue. If you order from here you know what you're getting, even if it doesn't knock it out of the park. As for the food quality, its not amazing, but not terrible either. Menu is basic diner affair, nothing spectacular or stand-out. Service is unremarkable. Wait times are, unsurprisingly, average. Food is fairly priced. I can recommend this if you're just looking for a quick meal or lunch.
