If ever there was a day to sound the six star alarm, today would be that time. If writing Yelp reviews was for employees, Joanne would be worth it. My brother found this location and kept pressuring me to check it out with him. "Riley Fibbers" name is funny, but they are doing serious things. They have limited parking in the front and back of the building. It's a bar that's not hard to miss. It's red and new. I was impressed with the black tone thought the facade as well. Inside was more impressive, with its modern, dark color look. The seating was comfortable and the bar was large. The bartender was beautiful and friendly and than there was our waitress, Joanne. A beautiful soul with more energy than a 10 year old. Joanne was a promoter, crowd pleaser, and comedian, all wrapped into one. Her goal was to win peoples respect first and serve them second. We joked before the meal, after, and while we were leaving. Well I can go one about Joanne for hours, but this review is about "Riley Fibbers." They played great music in the background and had enough TV's for sporting events. Once we got settled in we ordered appetizers. Now let me go on record saying these were the best cheese fries in New York! You heard me! I didn't say local, I said State of New York. They had a blend of cheeses, caramelized onions, and bacon on top of seasoned French Fries. If that doesn't get you going I don't know what will. Those fries disappeared in seconds and Joanne asked if we were satisfied. We all laughed as she prepared to bring out the main course. When she put the plates down she said she'd be back for a report, so it was important to try everything. My burger was excellent! I loved the blue cheese and mountain of bacon. My mashed potatoes were delicious as well. I'm not a fan of gravy, but the one they make there was worth a pour. My brother had the turkey BLT. The turkey was slow cooked and topped with, you guessed it, bacon. The sandwich melted in his mouth, or so my brother described. The sweet potato fries were also legendary. The maple sauce they used also deserved mentioning. I couldn't believe how amazing everything was. Joanne explained that everything is always cooked this way. They have the same cook in the kitchen. I guess it's not to hot, because that gentleman makes magic in there. I have no choice but to return. I need to try other items on the menu. More importantly, I made a promise to Joanne. Like I said, she promotes and will not rest until I become a regular. "Riley Fibbers" has a funny name, but their serious about great staff and amazing food.
