DEWITT, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) – You ask, we answer!
Viewer Question: When will Joey's open its new restaurant?
We have an update to a story we first brought you last spring, on Joey's building a new restaurant.
Located on Thompson Road, near Carrier Circle, Joey's has been a fan favorite for more than 40 years.
Owner Bill Cleary is in the middle of building a 6,300 square feet restaurant, right next to its current location.
It's being built where Big Mama's Cheesecake used to operate. That business has since moved to its new Salina location at 500 Old Liverpool Road.

Cleary was hoping to open the new restaurant by the end of last year, but the winter weather has pushed back the timeline.
Cleary said the goal now is to get the restaurant open in May. He said right before it opens, the current Joey's will be demolished and crews will spend about two weeks finishing up final details before unveiling the new spot to guests.
He added that Joey DeCuffa and his family will continue to run the new restaurant. He said that the new space will offer more room, be more accessible and have a better flow than the current building. The new location will also feature a wine cellar.
'The food will all be the same with the daytime menu being similar to Pronto Joey's and at dinner time, the white tablecloths come out, with the lights turned down to give you Joey's Classic Italian atmosphere,' Cleary told us last spring.
