The only reason to visit Syracuse? - Edit
Besides my family and friends 😋. Have been coming here since they opened on Genesee and the new place is so cool, love seeing them grow. Great food, for comfort, and love the punk rock vibe that still underlies the fancier feel of the new space.

Good all-vegan restaurant - Edit
Found this place while en route to Buffalo, tucked away on a little side street. Terrific menu. I had the Thai salad and it was delicious. Lots of great drinks on the menu too. The only downside to our lunch was that the kitchen was having a hard time keeping up and we had to wait quite a while for our food. They were probably short staffed like every other place is right now.

I’ve been going to Strong Hearts since it opened and a lot has changed, but the food remains amazing! The milkshakes were always a huge draw for me and those are still delicious! Their newer food on the menu is also really good!

Great Vegan Place! - Edit
My husband and I stopped in for lunch after a flight in Syracuse. I got the Buffalo kale salad and he got the Buffalo tofu sandwich. We both loved our meals. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Portions were large. The milkshakes were probably the best part! So delicious, definitely save room for one!

Looks better than it is - Edit
They have tons of gluten free options. But the bbq burger I had was not very good. The bun wasn't toasted at all and for gf buns / bread you definitely need to toast / warm / butter the buns to make them taste better. The burger was very dry sauce wise as well.
Read moreNone of the food was HOT the BBQ chicken wings were barely warm, I feel like they made them at the beginning of the day and just keep them warm and add sauce as ordered.
I was very disappointed and I would likely not go a second time.

I have never loved a place so much! Everything is vegan, the portions are huge, and super delicious is an understatement for the food and drinks!! The place is really cute and staff were sweet. I wish this place was everywhere 😭 We took some deserts for the road (a peanut butter cupcake and chocolate cupcake) and those were incredible too!!

Wish there was one in New Haven - Edit
This place is absolutely awesome. The Reuben is ridiculously good and so is the shawarma. That’s right, shawarma. And it’s delicious. Activism vibe in a college city jives well with this place. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I wish there was a Stone Hearts near me. Whenever I see an empty restaurant space I think, damn, Stone Hearts could open right there.

Omgggggg - Edit
Stayed the night in Syracuse and needed delivery to the hotel. We ordered delivery through the website and it was delivered quickly, still hot and delicious. We shared wings- buffalo style and Parmesan, both were incredible. The buffalo chicken sandwich was also amazing. Wish we stayed in town longer to try more of the menu.

StrongHearts never disappoints - Edit
Every single thing I’ve tried here has been delicious. Some sandwiches are not my go to, such as a Reuben or Cuban, but my boyfriend has tried those and loves them! The nachos are amazing, I always order them deconstructed so they don’t get soggy on the way home, which is nice because a lot of times places won’t let you deconstruct them. The Buffalo kale salad is also incredible, but make sure to get extra ranch if you like a lot of dressing!
Read morePros: Every single thing on the menu is vegan, Lots of cool shakes , Deserts!! Cake, cupcakes, cookies and more!

Hard to choose! - Edit
We were in Syracuse for the Paul McCartney concert and finally had the opportunity to visit Strong Hearts.

I especially loved the Thai Tofu salad and dill potato salad. So many cupcake options, too!

Surprisingly average - Edit
So many folks talked about Strong Hearts so I figured we had to give it a try. I always love to try mac and cheese whenever I go out because I like to see how it’s done. So many rave reviews about the milkshakes - so we HAD to get some. As a vegan I’m used to the old burger deal - so we tried a couple of menu items that weren’t burgers that looked good. On their recommendation we got the Shawarma, and we also got the chicken wings and the T.N.T. .
Read moreAs someone who has had vegan food that nearly changed my life (not to be dramatic) and a huge foodie myself, I’d say about half of what we ordered was incredible. The wings were insane (ordered gluten free), and the dipping sauce was incredible. The T.NT. was incredible, and I really loved it. The mac and cheese however, was sub par as far as vegan mac and cheese goes - and the shawarma wasn’t something I’d recommend for someone’s first time there.
At the end we got milkshakes - expensive and very thick, holistically good but overhyped for the price and quality. I think there are a lot of things that Strong Hearts probably does well and so I think it could have been a matter of just ordering the wrong things the first time - I would absolutely be willing and wanting to go again to give it a second chance.
Pros: Full range + gf options
Cons: Expensive milkshakes for quality , Average food items

Great food - Edit
We found Strong Hearts when searching for a lunch spot while on a road trip. I am already looking forward to stopping again on our way home! Large selection — it was hard to choose just one thing, so I got two. The macaroni and cheese was satisfying. The Reuben was one of the best I’ve ever had. The seeded bread was awesome, and it was so buttery. I was happy that they had a kids menu so my daughter could get a perfect sized meal. The cupcakes were excellent too — perfect texture, and my non-vegan husband couldn’t tell that they were vegan. Staff was very friendly, and the owner/manager (?) was really cool and so sweet to my daughter. Wish we lived closer, but we will definitely stop by any time we are in town.

Great food and restaurant - Edit
Staff was wonderful. Food was delicious! Great selection. The restaurant itself was bright and clean. Eco friendly eat in and to go packaging. Small parking area right across from the restaurant. Just a few blocks from Syracuse and SUNY campuses.
