How am I comparing BBQ in Utica to these locations where meals can reach upwards of $400 for 2 you may ask? The food is so unique. Typically when I get BBQ - no matter how good it is- I reach for the sauce. Even though it's on the table, it's not needed here. Each dish is so unique. The owner/chef personally comes out and describes what he put into each dish, from the ribs with peanut brittle on top (I'm sure I'm missing many descriptors) to the Elote Corn. Each dish that came out made mine and my wife's mouth water. It's that good. Cost for the four course dinner is fair for the amount of food, quality and service. If you are anywhere near Utica, you need to try this place. You won't be disappointed ... until you go back to a typical BBQ restaurant.

A cheap quick place to grab a sandwich. Looks like outdoor dining, windows to order from . I got the hot dog with the works , and the roast beef sandwich. Both were like $5 each . I love my condiments but the hot dog had so much stuff on it , the hot dog was lost somewhere in that pile . It was so soggy it was almost impossible to eat . The roast beef sandwich was the better of the two, I've had $15 sandwiches that's not as good , it's on a small burger bun with over an inch of meat and sauce , also a mess , but that's why it's $5 !

We visited over the weekend with friends who had dined there previously. Our 6:30 reservation was honored promptly upon arrival. The village setting is quaint, and the restaurant itself is warmly decorated--upscale enough to feel special but still relaxed and approachable. After being seated, our server presented the drink menu and specials. Our friends ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, along with the Steak Nicholas and the double smash burger. My wife selected the seafood special--a blackened salmon with lobster salad--while I opted for the Steak Nicholas as well. The food arrived in a timely manner and was everything was very good. My steak was perfectly cooked, complemented by the house Worcestershire sauce and compound butter. The fried green tomatoes were also well-prepared. The only disappointment at the table was the brown butter cake our friends ordered for dessert, which they found dry and lacking freshness. Where the experience fell short, however, was service. While our server was polite, she was difficult to find at times, leading to long waits for assistance. There was also some confusion when boxing up leftovers. The most significant issue arose when it was time to settle the bill. Our total came to $260, and we requested separate checks. Unfortunately, our server seemed very flustered and unsure of how to split the bill, and after some back-and-forth, she suggested dividing it evenly. We agreed simply to avoid further delay. However, when processing payment, the card charge came to $153 before tip--well above the correct half of the bill (approximately $130). Combined with our friends' $200 cash payment, the total ended up being $380, which inadvertently resulted in a very large gratuity - something we didn't realize until we had left the restaurant, as the confusion surrounding how to split the bill was frustrating and we simply wanted to head out. While we take responsibility for not carefully resolving the issue before leaving, the confusion around the bill frustrated us in the moment and left a negative final impression on an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall: The food was excellent and worth trying, particularly the Steak Nicholas and seafood offerings. That said, service and billing procedures could benefit from improvement to ensure a smoother dining experience.

There is a counter to the left as you come in, followed by an unattractive cooler case with signs on it. In between is a bakery case that is small but had a nice selection when I was there. I ordered a cup of decaf and a small chocolate almond cupcake, for a price of $8. I declined the plastic box and sat down with the cupcake in an upholstered chair opposite the counter. I thought my coffee would be right up but it took many minutes. I almost left. The cupcake was small but good (fluffy cake, sugary frosting). Then I noticed the sign that said everything was gluten and dairy-free. Surprise! When the coffee was ready, the cream was put in for me. I guess it was nondairy. The coffee was warm like a keurig makes. I had noticed Lunch menus in a wall pocket and Brunch menus behind the counter. So this place is actually full restaurant for people with gluten and dairy allergies. The lunches all seemed to cost ~$18 and seemed inventive. Fries were available as a specialty. There were a lot of tables in the long, cool, dark room. It seemed like a decent place to have an undisturbed meal while talking with friends.

The Food- We started off strong with some very fresh fried pickles, they were excellent and you could tell the oil was new. The breading stuck to all of the pickles and the sauces were perfect. As a ribeye lover, that's my go to cut when I visit TRH and the steaks are typically very good and cooked right to my order. Today I found the ribeye a bit on the fatty side and thinner than I usually like, but the flavor was really good. Seasoned well and grilled to a perfect medium rare! My son chose the ribs and they were definitely *fall-off-the-bone* tender! This was only his second time trying ribs (the first was at a BBQ place in Vegas), and he loved them. He did say the meat was a bit dry, so he asked for extra BBQ sauce to jazz it up. Overall it was a fun and fast service, just what we were looking for tonight!
