Pasta Richard, Blackened chicken breast tossed with brandy & Asiago cream sauce served over pasta, was excellent. Smash burger special, extra special. Smash burger, turkey, ham, roast beef yes, really, even bacon and cheese. Extra yummy. Service was very good, plus let's not forget their freshly baked popovers. Oh so good.

McCarthy's is very nicely decorated, clean, and was a pleasure to visit. I was here Mid-afternoon, and there were not many patrons, but one could tell it would be a great place to hang out and tip a few back after work. I have driven past many a time and never stopped, I wish I had stopped sooner. I really enjoyed my time at McCarthy's and will definitely be going back with friends.

This isn't the end of the world however I hate peppers and onions and asked for a simple chicken and cheese quesadilla, and I pay for it so expect it.

We were so impressed! It's very clean for a bar and the outside is beautifully finished. We had a blue moon and a burger-- it was one of the best burgers i've ever had from a restaurant. The bartender was extremely friendly and welcoming. Nice vibes all around from this little hole in the wall spot... can't wait to return on a date night :)

Sat at the bar as I was alone but there were tables inside and picnic tables outside for a variety of seating options. I was offered water immediately with my menu. I sampled the Berry Sour Seltzer which tasted great. Not too fruity and too bitter. I ordered a glass. The food offerings were limited to one side of the menu, half being appetizers and half being meals. I was a bit surprised by the cost of the Elk Burger ($29) but made that my choice as I wanted more than an appetizer but good comfort food. It came with smoked gouda, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo on a thick yet soft bun. Salad greens coated with balsamic dressing accompanied the burger (fries were available for an up charge). One bite told me I'd made the correct choice and the price was worth it. The burger (ordered medium well) was hot and juicy and the bun did a great job of balancing that without falling apart or getting soggy. The Gouda cheese had such great flavor and it was in the perfect state of warm but not melt-coated into the burger. My water was consistently refilled and I sat there and enjoyed every bite of that burger and salad while I drank my Seltzer.

Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. I mean way below Pizza Hut or little caesars. It was so greasy that me and my coworkers tossed our slices after the first few bites. Honestly it was straight up disgusting, I would take a frozen pizza over the one I got anytime. Yuckkkk. Is all I can say.

One full moon night i went to Donnies and got a quesadilla with wings but the quesadilla tasted like a tortellini. The small wooden boxes that they put our food in needs to GO. There is no space in them to fit multiple different foods. The customer service is MAGICAL. GRETA IS A PRINCESS QUEEN. One day i saw a worker with glitter under their eyes dressed as a mermaid...i didn't question it because wow fashion. Donnies is very very spacious and sometimes they hold events which is pretty cool. Having a unlimited meal plan is amazing because it stops my bank account dropping like a submarine. There are so many food options at Donnies. This is truly the best place to get late night food (also the only place). YOU BETTER GO!!!

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.

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.
