    What a gem! My husband and I were driving from Columbus to New Hampshire and stopped here for some lunch. We are so happy we did. This is home cooking and hospitality at its best. One of the best things about it is that it's a pretty old restaurant and it seems to be going strong. Stop here if you're ever traveling through Utica, Ohio!

    Hubby and I were on a mission to find some peaches! Well, a mission will have to include a new place to eat..Lol.. Sunday afternoon drive in the country and found this little gem in Utica. We first pulled in, nice size parking lot that was completely full..it was 1:30pm. People sitting on benches outside waiting.. Full lot and people waiting and no one complaining about a wait is a great sign. We only waited around 20 minutes to get a table. There's a few different rooms with some nice comfy booths and tables and chairs. Inside gives you an old diner kind of feel. Nice and clean, cozy too. Looking at the menu, they have a lot of food options. We ordered some mozzarella sticks and ice tea to start. Mozzarella sticks came out nice and crispy with a sweet red sauce which we thought was yummy. I ordered the crispy chicken with 2 sides mashed potatoes and Mac and Cheese. Hubby ordered the Smothered Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Food came out nice and hot with nice sized portions. My chicken was nice and crispy and good flavor. Sides were also good. Hubby loved the meatloaf. He ate every last bite of his. Lol..I think he could of used a roll to clean up the rest off his plate. We very much enjoyed our lunch. It reminded us of going to Amish country to eat but, we didn't have to go as far..Lol. We were too full to have dessert but I did get a piece of cherry cheesecake for home. Forget to take a pic of it. Ate it too fast. We can't air to go back and try something different next time. I forgot to add on the way out..there's desserts to buy! Cookies, rolls, pies and lots of pies, fruit pies, cream pies! Forgot to ask if made in house. Looked wonderful!!!

    I'd never even been to Utica but after going to check out the lack of progress on his hot rod getting painted I said, let's go to wherever makes you happy so Watt's was where he chose. It's an old house so setup of the place is a little wonky but it's very inviting. Almost feels like you've stepped in to the past. The bakery items are the 1st thing that catches your eye; fresh baked loaves of bread, cakes, muffins and my favorite, pies bit fruit and cream based. Off to our table which was by the fireplace. Cozy. Greeted almost immediately and asked us all sorts of questions like we were long lost cousins. Check out the menu and brother orders what is a Thanksgiving dinner; Turkey, mashed potato, dressing and a side salad. I order the chicken fried steak, bean soup along with mac&cheese. Everything arrived quickly, it was still steaming hot no less. The server stated that everything is made there from scratch. Server brought us a couple rolls and they were delicious and brought back memories of holiday dinners at my grandparents. Actually, our meals were just so mouthwatering and the flavors backed up our anticipation. Walking out, I see they have bags of the rolls so I grab some of them and a loaf of bread that is baked by local Amish store Hershberger's. My suggestion would be to go to Watts for lunch, then head over to Hershberger's. This would be a spectacular day trip. This part of Ohio is lovely during the Fall. I read in another review that stated, 'the best comfort food ever.' And I 100% agree. #SupportLocal #Mom&Pops

    Best seafood boil I've had in Columbus!…read more Kai's Crab Boil is hands down one of my favorite seafood spots in Columbus. The gumbo is fantastic and honestly some of the most authentic I've had here in Columbus. It's packed with flavor and really stands out. Their shrimp and crab with the garlic butter sauce at a medium heat level is absolutely incredible. The seasoning and spice are perfect, and paired with their cornbread... OMG It's SO good! The service was great, and the ambiance was really nice too. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a seafood boil with authentic Cajun/Creole flavors, I definitely recommend Kai's. Everything we had was delicious, and I can't wait to go back!

    So this was the Goog apology for literally being asked to leave after spending $300 at this place…read moreAWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE I make a bad Review and this is the Apology ‍ If you don't have space on Major occasions then You Should not take large Parties and make that plain You certainly took the money and the 18% gratuity tip. AWFUL SERVICE AND A EVEN WORSE EXCUSE We deeply apologize if this policy was not clearly communicated to your party by our hosting staff upon your arrival. It is never our intention to make our guests feel rushed, and we regret that the reminder from our management came across as harsh or selective. This limit was applied to all tables that day so we could honor the reservation times of waiting guests.
