While our order was initially not correct it was addressed immediately which to me is what truly elevates an experience. The owner also knew it was our first visit and provided us with an order of fries to sample. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. This place is tucked in the corner of an old downtown building in Utica which adds to its charm. They serve lunch daily until 2pm

I can say definitely, either (or both) of those responses are categorically correct. I'm saddened to think of all the lunches I've missed there throughout the years, having just eaten there for the first time. The service is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is old school and the sandwich/menu clearly follows the K.I.S.S philosophy. I will be back and I can't wait. Keep up the great work!

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.

Their menu consists of delicious American flair options. I truly don't think you could go wrong with any appetizer or entree of your choosing. For our starter we ordered the fried meatballs, fried cheese curds and the tomato & burrito plate. Every single dish was wonderful! For our entrees we chose the chicken katsu and their scallops. The chicken katsu was flavorful, juicy, breaded perfectly and topped with the most delicious sauce I've ever had on a chicken sandwich. My dinner date stated the scallops were cooked to perfection! We ended our evening with dessert & cocktails and as you can imagine from this review they were also very delicious! I would also like to highlight our waitress Mia. She was very attentive, helpful and extremely kind. The entire staff were phenomenal! Manager included.
