Specialties
The Gem Diner has been a Syracuse landmark for over 60 years. Over the last 5 years we've expanded to accommodate the generations of Syracusans that make The Gem their destination for a warm welcome, great service and classic diner food. If you are looking for a first class diner experience including an endless cup of coffee, drive minutes past Destiny USA and look for the neon sign and the classic car out front. You won't leave hungry!
