The bun alone was outstanding. Excellent fusion of flavors. Everyone else in our group ordered the Classic Burger, and every single person had great things to say about it. If you're in Old Forge or even passing through Utica, Rooster's is absolutely worth the stop.

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 ordered the double cheeseburger, and it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.

I would definitely recommend stopping by!

Unfortunately, that would have meant…read morea long trip for a free standing chick fil a or a half hour trip on thruway for a location that was less than 3 miles away. Luckily, I was able to find the secret entrance to the service area without having to get on thruway. While, I was so happy and lucky to find the secret passage was not so happy with my meal and the service received at this location. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of any of the locations on the thruway as they tend to be sub par. Location was not busy but staff took quite awhile to take and fulfill orders. Like all non freestanding locations they do not use the chick fil an app to take orders, earn points, and pay through app. Additionally, they do not offer chicken strips. Food tasted like it had refrigerator burn and had been reheated and did not taste fresh. Service was slow and had to wait a considerable amount of time for service. While it is a great fast food, food choice on thruway it is really not worth it given cost and quality of food.

People often underestimate the art of making a great sandwich--or "sangwich," as we say where I…read morelive. Crafting a perfect sandwich takes experience and talent, and as an expert consumer with over 50 years of experience as a sandwich eater, I can confidently say Jimmy John's nails it. Jimmy John's uses fresh ingredients and assembles them neatly. I've never received a sloppily made sandwich from them. The proportion of turkey to lettuce to cheese is spot on. I hate overstuffed sandwiches with too much turkey, and Jimmy John's gets it just right. No crappy "cold cut" turkey here--it's the good stuff. One thing I love is that they scoop out some of the bread from inside the sub. This cuts down on carbs, holds the insides together well, and eliminates the problem of sub bread being too thick. The smart phone app lets you pre-order and you can tweek your option with about 20 options or just take the default sandwich. I add cheese and its easy to do on the app, Fast and easy. I've bought scores of the original Jimmy Turkey subs, and each one was made in about 30 seconds. They aren't kidding when they claim to be freakishly fast--they ARE fast. Lately, I've been getting the Mini Jimmy, taking it home, and making my own salad to supplement my dinner. Delicious. It's a small sub, just what I want sometimes. My recent addiction is the turkey sandwich on sliced wheat bread instead of sub bread. Their bread is delicious, and this makes for a great sandwich. I love this place. Great food, easy parking, very clean, and employees who are actually friendly and efficient. Easy 5 stars.

I placed an online order for two sandwiches, chips, and a cookie at the New Hartford Jimmy John's…read more I received emails confirming the order was received and that my credit card was debited. When I arrived at the store to pick up my order, I provided my name. I was handed a bag, which was quickly snatched back with the explanation that it wasn't my order. I was then told that I hadn't placed the order. I showed my confirmation email. I was then told that I hadn't paid for the order. Again, I showed confirmation of my payment. In every case, I was accused of being the source of the problem. Jimmy John's either gave my order to another customer or lost it altogether. When I pointed this out to the manager on duty, Robert Blackshear, he cancelled my order, claiming I was disrespectful and rude. I never raised my voice, used profanity, or made threats. Apparently, asking questions he could not answer or noting Jimmy John's incompetence is rude in Mr. Blackshear's opinion. This was one of the worst customer service experiences I have encountered. I will not reward Jimmy John's with another penny. I suggest others avoid the New Hartford Jimmy John's.

Its a one man operation as the owner is the chef and waiter so if it fills up, you may have to wait a bit but its worth it. We were fortunate to have the place to ourselves at the time we went and the owner/chef, Jeff, was a great host with many personal stories about the history of Utica and his personal colorful past. We had his stuffed French toast which was awesome and some eggs. The coffee and tea are self serve and there are seats at the counter and a couple tables. The place only seats around 16 people but he assured us that he occasionally gets many more in there at a time. If you're looking for a great breakfast or lunch during the week (its closed on weekends) and don't need any frills, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

The "popular" cheese pull mozz planks taste microwaved and have zero cheese pull. Dave's sauce leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is a far cry from hits like Zaxbys sauce. There is absolutely zero reason to order from Dave's given the shear number of other chicken places in the area. You could literally get better service, better quality and better prices at any other place. There's just no way you see this chicken and say "yeah I'd absolutely want to order this again"
