I ordered a special which was basically a bacon cheeseburger deluxe I upgraded to onion rings. Overall, food was very good. The onion rings were the best I ever had would definitely be back. The only bad thing was I think the place needed a very thorough cleaning. The menus were actually disgusting.

With the revitalization of downtown and the return of the Utica AHL hockey team, Gerber's has been brought back to life. Excellent burgers and the drink prices are classic Utica reasonable. It's got the warm vintage thing inside as well. A great place to visit if you are staying at the Doubletree or are on the way to watch hockey. The original Gerber was a Jewish fella who ran the speakeasy back in the early part of the 20th century.

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!

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 would definitely recommend stopping by!

It said this place was the best option for miles. After eating there, I had to make a Yelp account to leave my first review to let everyone know it's recommendation NAILED it. The food was incredible. Everything on the menu looked great, but the Brisket Mac and Cheese (pictured) is what I landed on. It was delicious! My family got 2 orders of the Fried CBR wrap and a Cubano (it was a special in place of the Reuben). They loved their food too! "Wrap was perfectly grilled" "I loved the cubano, very tasty. Perfect amount of pickles and pork and sauce". The one who ate the cubano is picky, so that's a glowing recommendation. Would advise anyone within many miles to do yourself a favor and visit to give it a try, I hope you have the same incredible experience I did. ~ Josh

Believe the bad reviews and just stay away. The owner is a complete man child that threw a temper…read moretantrum, was very rude to me and my family, and blatantly lied to us. A true embarrassment to himself and his businesses. My family and I were there to celebrate a birthday. Some of us were in line to order food while the others sat at a patio table. We were approached by a waitress who told us we had to leave because we had a kid under 18 with us. We were bummed and she said the owner was there and she would talk to him about it to see if he would allow an exception. We've been there before on the patio with kids since the signs for 18 and over were only on the doors beyond the patio. She came back a short time later and said no we had to leave. While we were walking back to the table to leave, the owner made a snarky comment to us about never coming back and leaving a negative review. We approached him because what business owner does that? He proceeded to raise his voice at us and have a meltdown when we were being level headed and asking about the policy and asking him to check on the multiple other tables that had kids under 18 sitting at them. He stated that he couldn't have anyone under 18 in the building because of his license. There is no such license in New York State so that was a complete lie. He then told us to just get the f*** out. It's totally fine if he wants to run his business with that policy (the only one in the area), but the manner he handled the situation was out of line and uncalled for. As per the owners request we will be leaving negative reviews and never going to a business associated with him ever again.
