Haddock pieces - dinner special
David P.

Stopped into the Creek Side for dinner on a Friday evening. Ordered their house greens for appetizer and the haddock special for the meal. Waitress took our order promptly and checked back often to check on the food and clear dishes from the table. The greens were good - plenty of heat from the cherry peppers and lots of meat. The haddock dinner was huge, five deep fried pieces of haddock over sweet potato fries (it also came with soup or salad - had the clam chowder but no pic). Meal was good, service good, inside of restaurant doesn't look much different from many years ago. Worth a try!

Mexican Stuffed hash browns

Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday. Our group was 6 people. We were seated promptly. It was busy so it took a little time to place our order but our coffee was filled to make the wait go fast. I ordered the Mexican stuffed hash browns. It comes with jalapeños. There were enough so that I didn't need to add hot sauce. It was delicious. A good place to stop in for breakfast.

two quesadillas and hash browns

We finally ventured out for a breakfast "date" and we were happily surprised by this local restaurant! They had distancing and masks so that was a good first sign :) The menu is a bit more breakfast based but we saw a few lunch options we are interested in trying. I would like to see more options for breakfast when it comes to meat products. My spouse is allergic to beef and pork- that includes sharing skillet space etc. They don't have any options on that side. We ordered a chocolate chip pancake and eggs special (I think they call it the Creekside Special) with the home fries (with the cheese/onions/peppers). It also came with toast (watch out for the butter- there is a ton of it so ask for light or on the side if you prefer it less...Soaked lol). The eggs (scrambled) were cooked well, pancake was great, home fries were perfect! Coffee was also pretty good for a local cafe style spot, and the OJ was great. The black tea isn't great and that was the only tea option. We also ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla (eggs, peppers, onions, cheddar, tomatoes were my choices) with hash browns. The hashbrowns were fine but not awesome, and the quesadilla was a bit pepper heavy so they dominated the dish. That said, it was still pretty good and grilled perfectly. Light on the eggs (and cheese but that's totally me lol!), but filling and delicious. The salsa on the side was fine. The best part was the server, Debra. She was fast, efficient, friendly and understanding of the allergy once fully explained. (She had the chefs change out the plate that accidentally had bacon on it and make fresh eggs- the sausage was already on the side on a separate plate. We had to eat around a few things just in case but doable and she was great). Overall this is a great spot and we look forward to becoming regulars. A few updated options (gluten free for our GF youngest kiddo, Turkey/chicken options for bacon or sausage, etc) would bring us more often but it was a good, quality meal that was reasonably priced and had great service!

Where's my cheese, bro?

Came here for breakfast after a night out with some girlfriends. There's very LITTLE to choose from around the central New York area when it comes to breakfast... And I mean GOOD breakfast food. I'm used to New Jersey diners. You can't even compare the "diners" and "cafes" around here to REAL jersey diners... It just ain't happenin. This is a breakfast cafe in New York mills next to McDonald's. It wasn't busy for a Sunday afternoon. Got here around 11:30. Waitress was quick and friendly. The food is tasteless. Even the coffee, it tasted like water. Blechhhhh. I had a spinach and feta omelet. Ummm they didn't even melt the cheese. The omelet was cooked with spinach inside, they cut it in half, sprinkled some feta on top and plopped the other half of the omelet over the cheese. Ok? It was very disappointing. The home fries looked and tasted 100 years old. Breakfast for 2 was $23 bucks. I couldn't even finish it. I wouldn't waste your money. Maybe the lunch is better? It's a very nice and clean diner, and they have outdoor seating so I'll give ya 2 stars.

Creekside has a really nice diner breakfast. They also offer a full menu as well as having an ice cream stand. Since I only stopped in for breakfast, that's what this review will be based on. I ordered my typical 2 eggs, bacon, and rye toast. This particular day I was feeling a bit saucy and ordered half of a Belgian Waffle. Service was fast and friendly, and we were able to enjoy our breakfast on the outdoor patio (definitely a bonus point for this). My girlfriend tried the spinach/feta breakfast wrap which she liked, but didn't love. My eggs were very slightly overcooked, but not too bad. I plan on heading back sometime and trying the normal menu or possibly some ice cream - hard to mess that one up right??

Nice comfy bright indoors

Came here for breakfast with my mom and it was SOOO Good! She had been raving about it forever. I had the greek skillet which was perfect. It came with a side of what seemed to be homemade whole grain toast which was also phenomenal. My mom had the blueberry pancakes which were also good. Even enjoyed their coffee (which I can be a snob about). Service was good, atmosphere is clean and bright!

The sign in front says "Under New Management give us a try". I did, wasn't impressed. Not bad but nothing special.

Delicious breakfast food (is there anything better than breakfast food?) Realistically priced.

Craylee's - I went there for the first time today, and it was a perfect breakfast

We visit Utica a few times a year - was really happy to find Craylee's for breakfast. Never heard…read moreof or had the Giambotta before - it was incredible. What else do you need? Staff were very helpful and sweet. Will be back every time we visit!

One of our favorite pastimes on road trips is picking local businesses to stop at wherever we're…read moregoing to be around lunchtime (this Yelp thing helps a lot). It helps us avoid eating awful (and surprisingly expensive) fast food, and we can usually find a gem or two. Lately, we've been passing through Utica, and Craylee's is a GEM. The folks running this place are so darn nice. I never say darn, but I feel like they might say darn, so I'm saying it here. They are fast, and friendly, and brought our little girls actual, nice coloring books, and their very own crayon case with like 200 crayons instead of the stumpy red and blue crayon and one sheet of paper you might get at a chain place. The space is nothing crazy, but it's thoughtfully decorated with some small homey touches like string lights that make it feel lived in. Infinitely better than a Thruway McDonald's. Best of all, the food is excellent. It's just a local, tasty diner menu, but they're putting care and love into the food. My kids rolled with chicken fingers and fries (huge surprise there), but my Hannah's Special (a two egg breakfast with a piece of french toast) was everything I wanted it to be. I did have to make a lot of decisions (overeasy, hash browns, rye, sausage links), but I aced them all, and so did the kitchen. The biggest surprise was my wife's turkey club melt, which was legitimately amazing. We talked about it for an embarrassingly long time in the car afterward. I'm going to want this again. Craylee's is doing it right, and we'll be back when we roll through Utica again.
