Binghamton Restaurant Week: South Side Yanni's

As I sit here typing this, I had to change from jeans into yoga pants to make a little more room because I am so over the top full. And that's a good thing!

Binghamton Restaurant Week is in full swing through September 26th so if there’s a local restaurant you’ve wanted to check out, but haven’t yet, this is the time to do it.

While I've driven by it a million times, I’ve never been to South Side Yanni's, so when I saw it was on the list of participating restaurants, I knew I had to go and I’m so glad I did. Glenn and I went for lunch and didn’t leave disappointed.

South Side Yanni’s is offering a 3 course meal for only $10 for lunch during Binghamton Restaurant Week. I started with a fresh side salad topped with the most melt-in-your-mouth delicious croutons I’ve ever had as my appetizer and then had a chicken gyro with fries as my main course and finished off my meal with a mouth watering good lemon cupcake.

Glenn started his meal with prime rib soup. He let me have a taste and it tasted just as good as the kind my grandma used to make. He followed the soup with a fried haddock sandwich and strawberry cupcake for dessert.

I’m a pretty big critic when it comes to gyros. Not that I’m an expert, but I know how I like mine made and South Side Yanni’s didn’t disappoint. I was surprised at how much sauce was included inside the gyro- something I can’t ever get enough of. My gyro was so filling that I couldn't finish it or my fries- and I almost never leave fries on my plate. I definitely think a return trip is in order!

Don’t forget that Binghamton Restaurant Week is going on through September 26^th and this is an amazing chance to check out some local restaurants and help out a good cause too as a portion of the proceeds benefit CHOW.
