Rooster's Old Forge…read more The fries were absolutely perfect, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The Figgy Burger was likely the best burger I've ever had at a restaurant. The bun alone was outstanding. Excellent fusion of flavors. Everyone else in our group ordered the Classic Burger, and every single person had great things to say about it. If you're in Old Forge or even passing through Utica, Rooster's is absolutely worth the stop.

While they also serve hot dogs and hamburgers the chicken tenders and chicken sandwich by far are the best. Chicken is tender and juicy which elevates this entree to the next level. Restaurant the minute you walk in reminds me of my high school years complete with school cafeteria chairs, pictures of Charlie's Angels on the wall, a tv with looped shows from the 70's and 80's... Brings back a lot of nostalgic memories walking in. Only compliant is that serving sizes have gotten smaller but some really great food . Highly recommend this trip down memory lane

I ordered the double cheeseburger, and it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The onion rings were nicely cooked and crispy, and the Oreo shake was so good, even though I didn't get a picture of it. The decor was really nice too, with a fun old-school vibe. I would definitely recommend stopping by!

We sat at the bar which is typical and had the absolute best experience with Emma, the bartender, who was big as a barn pregnant, but looking very cute. Emma was personable, knowledgeable and very engaging. We really enjoy the conversation, food/beer experience. I had the tacos and hubby had the grilled cheese with a cup of the soup of the day, all was very tasty!! Beer was very yummy! Should you happen upon Utica, NY, stop by Nail Creek Pub and Brewery, it's a great place to take a load off and have a local brew, great service and conversation. Say hey to Emma, unless she is giving birth to her baby.

My son and I travel a lot for his hockey, and we try to visit local restaurants when on the road…read more Do not go here. Somewhat busy, but staff kept walking by us, no recognition whatsoever. Went to the bar and said we'll seat ourselves. No menus, nothing. After 30 minutes, Walked back to the bar and told the bartender that I just wanted a couple burgers. She responded as if I was being rude. Another thirty minutes pass, two tiny burgers come out (at $11 each). Fries extra, and came out soggy. First time that I have ever not tipped.Avoid this place.

We ordered a burger, chicken sandwich, cheese flatbread pizza, and a big pretzel to share and everything was excellent! My only small critique was the cheese sauce for the pretzel was very liquidy when it first came out but once it cooled a bit (few minutes) it was at a nice viscous consistency that was very dip-friendly! Thanks again for a great meal!

The main thing to remember here is don't sit outside if you can help it…read more When we got there, there were just a few seats at the counter. It was a nice day so we chose one of the two outside tables. It was about 10:15 when we placed our order. We got our drinks reasonably quick. They came by to refresh coffee once. And then we didn't see them for about a half hour. I'm sure it was busy and they're a small staff. But we were sitting outside feeling neglected. Meanwhile I'm certain everyone inside got what they were needing. I believe it was a case of out of sight, out of mind. Close to 11 I got up from my seat and went inside to inquire. The exact answer I got from one of the waitstaff was "We'll bring it out when it's ready." Not one acknowledgment of the wait. Not even one apology for the wait. I'd say the total wait was 50 minutes. We got our food about 10 minutes after that. Perhaps they got the hint. And then we finally got some attention to our drinks. But yet again, not one acknowledgement of the wait. Now the saving grace. The food we got was actually excellent. I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich. Everyone was happy with their food. Yet again I had to go inside just to ask for the bill. I didn't even get a "how was everything?" Maybe they were afraid to ask? Let me be clear. I understand waiting for food. I understand the kitchen may be busy. I'm not unreasonable. But feeling neglected should never happen. They seemed nice enough and I don't think they did it on purpose. I honestly believe that once you sit outside here you become out of sight, out of mind. You become the last priority and everyone inside gets their undivided attention. If I'm ever back in town I would come back because the food was that good. But I know where I'm sitting next time.

Little falls has a breakfast place. Small cute little place. Not impressed at all. Not thinking…read morethat it's the goal to impress people though. Locals mostly I believe. If I was to rename this gem, I would rename it " The Wait and See ". Wait to sit. Wait for to place your order. Wait and wait for your food. Then wait and wait for your drink. Then see if they bring you something to drink. Hopefully you'll get it before or with your breakfast so you don't have to dry throat your meal. I wasn't that fortunate. Asked twice even. Anyway , I'm sure it was just this one time. I'm not sure if I want to wait 2 hours to have the same experience again. Good luck to you or hopefully you already had/ have a better experience.

The menu has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a fresh salad, an incredible sandwich, or a hearty meal. I highly recommend the Greek salad and any of their sandwiches, the bread is unbelievably light, fresh, and delicious. The service is always quick and friendly, the restaurant is spotless, and it's just as great for takeout as it is for dining in. Madison Bistro will not disappoints and is an absolute must-visit!

Definitely will come back. Place was hopping but we didn't have to wait, food was really quick to come out too! Only negative which I've seen other reviewers mention ... was the drinks. (I'd suggest ordering your drink in a bottle, or bringing a drink from home...) our drinks tasted really awful. (Soda, water; etc) we narrowed it down that we think it was the ice. I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!
