I especially love the Rooster sauce! I've also tried their chicken nuggets which I also recommend. It's sort of set up like a fast food joint inside, and you typically aren't waiting long for your order. There is seating inside, but also picnic tables outside. Better yet, you can grab some ice cream next door when you're done! I highly recommend Rooster's if you're craving an excellent smash burger!

All of the staff was extremely friendly and personable, especially our bartender/waitress Emily. I got the summer salad which was amazing.

My dad got slider burger train which is 4 burger sliders. 1.mushroom and Swiss, 2.onion rings and bbq, 3.pepper jack and jalapeño, and 4.bacon and cheddar. A side of sweet potato fries and coleslaw- everything was perfect. Would definitely be a regular bar for us if we lived here! Highly recommend!

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.

This is a great place to go to on St. Patrick's Day parade day morning in Utica. Service is great…read morethat day, the bartenders are attentive and friendly (especially if Linda is there). Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.

Our server was nice and friendly. Now let's get to the food. We started out with the calamari app which was good. Not too salty and I like my calamari with banana peppers so it was just to my liking. I had the steak and risotto entree- the risotto was absolutely delicious and had great flavor. The steak however needed seasoning. It was kind of bland. And instead of serving it medium as I requested, it came out more of a medium rare. My husband had the fish tacos which were ok. Typical fish taco but the fish could have used a touch more seasoning. For dessert we had the almond cake (delicious) and pistachio cheesecake (also delicious). I would like to go back to try some of the other things on their menu that I hope will be more flavorful than what we had this 1st time around.
