10 out of 10! Stopped by this charming small corner spot for breakfast! I had the corn bread bubble waffle with NY pure maple syrup and a side of bacon. It was so DELICIOUS! The owner, Jeff, is friendly and cooks right on the spot for you. The menu is straightforward yet thoughtful featuring different daily specials. Was visiting for work and discovered it on my last day, bummed I didn’t find it sooner because I would have come here every morning.
Classic diner greasy spoon type of food. It’s a one man show with only the chef there. Amazing and delicious food and I thought the corn bubble waffles were fantastic. Never had them before and I think it’s a new favorite now.
Golden’s is a favorite spot for a classic diner vibe. In addition to the atmosphere, the owner cooks food on the spot and with great intention and passion. For example, yogurt is homemade, pickled ramps foraged locally show up in a simple tomato salad side with smoked gouda. It’s the attention to detail that sets Golden’s apart from many businesses today. It’s hard not to be present with what you’re eating, which makes for a Golden experience (pun-intended 😋).
Worst part about leaving Utica is I can't get the food anymore... Jeff is an amazing cook. Not only does he make amazing food, he's also very innovative (something sorely lacking in this modern culinary world) he was great company. The food is amazing, but that's no surprise. What was surprising was the prices. I checked some of the big breakfast places (Dennys, IHOP, etc.) And goldens is around the same price, cheaper in most instances! Considering the quality it's amazing what this man does. New "must visit when visiting" restaurant unlocked.
Really gives back in the day vibes , I love it it’s not all modern and boring . The food is great especially the French fries .
What a nice little gem to find in Utica. You won’t find a better burger in Utica. I wish I could have added a picture but didn’t have time. You will definitely walk away full.
Outstanding food, great service, cheap prices. Jeff always has super interesting, unique specials and I've never had a bad meal here. HIGHLY recommend!!
Amazing food with great creativity. Self serve coffee and a cheese/sausage omelette cooked perfectly. Trained chef working behind the counter.
What a fantastic place. If you look up best breakfast within the area, this place comes up, and it is definitely not a mistake. We sat ourselves, were quickly greeted by a kind waitress, ordered, and were served our food in no less than 20 minutes, w
Talk about hitting the Italian Food Lotteryâ¦in Utica!!! One seating at 6PM, no menu, byob, cash only. You eat what Dan servesâ¦and what a character. Seven courses, 35 US Dollars!ð excellent homemade Italian food. Call in advance for reservation
Very tasty ethnic restaurant on the East side. Easy to find and parking spots were plenty. I had the sausage on pita dish with fries. It was very good, and the portion was large enough where I could save the second half for lunch the next day. Servic
Amazing food, in a great cafeteria style restaurant. The people are friendly and welcoming, and make you instantly feel at home. Will certainly go back when I'm in Utica again.
What a great bunch of people who have taken a rundown and almost abandoned locomotive shop and turned it into something spectacular! Everyone so happy to work there, so engaged, and passionate about their coffee craft. Did I mention the coffee is del
