Something Different - Binghamton

The greens were too salty, and the fish wasn’t crispy. Overall, I was quite disappointed. It doesn't compare to the soul food found in the city. I really hoped this place would be different, but it fell short. There was definitely no love in the food.

I was blown away by how delicious my cajun chicken pasta was! Hubby ate homemade hamburger and really liked it. The menu is varied; anyone could find something to like here. I also got a side of collards, and it is made with beef bacon, so any creed could enjoy. They tasted as good as any I have eaten in the Deep South. I say that as a Southerner! It is a clean, cute little place furnished with hand me downs (which I really don't mind at all actually I am all about reuse/repurpose/recycle, obviously very newly opened, so I was prepared to forgive a lot, but did not have to. Bonus: the couple who own and work the place are genuinely nice and interesting people. We were treated as honored guests and my huge service dog and my equally huge service dog in training were welcomed. The only reason I left off one star on atmosphere was because the neighborhood is a little bit shabby, but there appears to be a movement to revitalize it. I was not the least concerned to be there. And good for this couple to be part of that movement to make their world a better place! I definitely would make a point of coming here again next trip through.

Great service. One of the few places we have been where almost everything was excellent. Owner is a great guy who really cares about his community.

We had the vegan lentil burgers, and they were absolutely fantastic! The dirty rice, plantains, steak fries, and mac and cheese were all delicious too! I highly recommend the lentil burger—it's a must-try for anyone who is vegetarian or vegan!

Best in town and I've only been here a year and a half, feels like home
