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.

A LOT OF UNTAPPED POTENTIAL ===========================…read more My husband and I stopped in on Monday, November 18th around 2:00 p.m.. There was hardly anyone inside, yet I had to wait ten minutes to get a table. It went downhill from there. One server for the whole restaurant is a problem. I just ordered a beer and fries. It was cold so my husband just wanted tea. The first cup tasted like coffee that he doesn't like. The second cup was cold. He gave up at that point. Even though it's the only place on the Black River we won't be back.

This was a fantastic local place with some great food. Our table started out with two orders of the…read morecheese curds, one with the sweet thai chili sauce and the other was a blueberry sauce (I'm like 75% certain but I could be wrong on exactly what it was my memory isn't working today). The cheese curds themselves had a nice light batter and were delicious on their own. I'm pretty sure the thai chili sauce is just from a bottle, Thai kitchen brand. Even with that said the sauce is good and works well with the cheese curds. The blueberry sauce is very sweet but still really good. My husband ordered the sandwich that had both a piece of fried chicken and a burger on one bun. The actual name is escaping me (that memory issue again) at the moment but I do remember it was delicious and if you're debating if you want a burger or chicken sandwich, go with this and have both. It is a very good sandwich. Now the mac and cheese oh soooo good! I had the philly cheese stake mac and cheese. There was so much mac and cheese for about $8. This turned into about 3 meals for me. The noodles were cooked great, an awesome amount of wonderful cheese and a generous amount of philly steak, peppers and onions. It seems like you cannot go wrong here. Great food, generous portions at amazing prices. I'm 100% a fan of the Cottage Inn!

Everything on my plate was pretty good but just did not go well together. This place is not very busy and the service wasn't that great. My husband asked the waitress to repeat the beer list and she just silently placed the list on the table. When I pointed to the menu and said I'll have this she said "What?" She didn't tell me that my choice of baked potato added 1.50 to the tab and she forgot our ketchup and instead bussed another table. Now, those are all very small offenses and I understand what it's like to work in a restaurant that has slow nights. But I am BIG on customer service so we will not be returning. I'm sure this place is great at lunch.

Overall, the food is very good but if you don't like beer batter fish then maybe try something else. Again, the fish pieces are huge big but for a One piece fish supper it will cost you $11.00.

The food is great -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place you want to like. That said, for the price, the portions feel underwhelming. The smashburger, while tasty, is about the size of a standard McDonald's cheeseburger, and a handful of fries just doesn't cut it at this price point. A bit more generosity on the plate would go a long way in matching the quality of the experience with the value. Still worth a visit -- just don't come too hungry.

I only recall trying poutine when I was younger so I figured I'd give it another try. They have Poutine as a whole order, but I was glad to see that they have it as a side option. The food entries comes with a side of your choice (fries, house salad, sweet potato fries (+$2.99) , caesar salad (+$3.50), or poutine (+$3.50)). The portions of the food were huge, so you definitely get your bang for your buck here. Each dish was neatly placed and was so good! The bread from the club was crunchy yet soft and the chicken was moist. The ingredient felt very fresh! The poutine was a tad salty, but I think that is how poutine is? Since it's gravy and cheese (two salty ingredients). It was just the perfect amount to share with the family since we all just wanted a little bit to refresh our taste buds. My family also ordered the Chipotle Chicken Caesar Wrap with the house salad ($19.99); Fish and Chips ($19.99), and Grilled Chicken Club with the house salad ($19.99). The chipotle chicken caesar wrap was HUGE. My mom said it was very good and that it wasn't too overpowered with all the flavors and sauces. I was able to try a bite of her house salad and was also impressed by the fresh ingredients of the salad. You can tell it is a good salad when the salt actually crunches and does not just wilt there. The Fish and Chips were pretty good according to my brother in law. Crispy, not totally too greasy and a large piece on top. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here in this small town. It had a cosy interior with very nice staff. FYI, the menu is located solely online! Reception could be a little spotty, so they have wifi for you in case you need it!

The bartender was super friendly and talked to everyone without being rude, considering most of my friends and I that went were already on a good level! Side note: don't let your friend order you a trash can when you've already had a few shots and beer, mixing always gets crazy! #Cheers #Yolo #ItsLit It gets really cold here, around -20 degrees Fahrenheit when I was there from February to April. That's where bars come in handy, alcohol always warms up ya system and people start dancing in there, you kinda forget you're in New York!

One of the reasons we did come back was that the owner gave us a 50% off appetizer coupon being a new customer. After ordering our drinks, a big slide IPA for me and their version of a whiskey sour, we ordered our meal. We had asked for the small appetizer platter with mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, and onion rings. We also ordered an appetizer order of their bourbon sliders. What showed up was actually the large appetizer platter with everything on it and our bourbon sliders. I know we ordered the small platter but at least we only had to pay 50% of the large platter. Overall, it was not bad, just not good. The bourbon sliders were OK as well. Maybe it was us, maybe it was just that our bartender server seemed awfully overwhelmed?
