49 Best Bar & Grill near Utica

“Booths are huge easily fit out party of 8. My son decided to order a steak that came out cooked and he ask medium it was well they did replace but was a slight inconvenience. I cooked mine at the table and it was great. If it wasn't for the overcooked steak they would have got 5 stars“

“Mark was so polite and helpful from the time we walked in the door until we walked out! From the very good drinks, to the great food and the excellent service. We loved everything about the experience and will most definitely be back!“

“Such a wonderful place, great vibe, delicious food and sitting outside is the ultimate experience, overlooking the river! Absolutely loved it so much, I went two days in a row! The hamburger and fries I had yesterday were so tasty! Today, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and fries! Sauce on the side. Brit was my server and she was phenomenal. I will definitely be going again.

Parking lot is small, so just go around the corner and park in the free parking lot and find your way through the parking lot to Main Street or go through the trail system. Afterwards, take a beautiful walk along Riverwalk.“

“Absolutely, great place best burger around and Darko is a great host. If you haven’t been there, you need to go.“

“Unexpected excellence! Came in at 4pm on Friday, our efficient and friendly waiter Andy was taking care of at least 10 other tables-but made each customer feel well taken care of. The clam chowder soup was excellent, like from a fine seafood restaurant! The Cobb salad was presented beautifully, and I took about half of it home! We live 1 hour away-but will make plans to return!“

“As Toby Keith would say, “I love this bar”! I just found my new home away from home. So cute inside. TV’s, pool, darts…etc. Amazing food. Which they are going to expand their menu. Keno is coming soon. ? They have fish for Fridays. I’m hooked. ? I had the garden fresh pizza and it was fabulous. My girlfriend had the Guido burger and she said it was heaven. Met George, one of the owners and cooks, very friendly! Looking forward to my next visit here.“

“Great food. Nice atmosphere. Nice servers. The owner is awesome and doesn't put up with people who want to start drama. 5 stars!!!!“

“Best burger in town B“

“Where do I even begin? The second we walked in the door, everyone was so wonderful! We took our twins out to celebrate their second birthday! Our waiter Nicholas was so kind and patient! He made sure our babies food was put in quickly and came out hot and fresh. (They were getting hangry. haha) Nicholas gave us some recommendations and they did not disappoint! 👏🏽 Everything we got was fresh, hot, and delicious, from the appetizer, to our meals, to the twins' meals. Even my mocktail was spot on! Their manager, Amanda, was who delivered our food. She was so sweet and cheerful!! She came back over later on to check on us and wish our babies a happy birthday! The entire restaurant was clean and well maintained. You can truly tell the staff enjoy their jobs. Nicholas and Amanda made sure we had a great first experience. My hubby and I have decided to come back, minus babies, and have a date night so we can further enjoy the extensive, and yummy looking, menu. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“Corner bar is an excellent place for the summertime! The music is great, vibes are good and drinks are delicious. I had the watermelon salad paired with a Hugo spritz, both classic choices. They have a summer capri pop up right now which is so cute for the girlies to hang out and take pics! Service is phenomenal, Angie always takes care of me so well. Plus the owner is extremely friendly, greeting every table. It really shows what a great atmosphere they’ve created! Definitely will be back !!“

“How come nobody is mentioning the great pizza?!!!!“

“When I come to Gator Jakes, I always get Gator bites and their gumbo. Simply delicious 😋 Everything is seasoned to perfection 👌🏼 adding a second review, again everything is delicious, gator bites, wings and spinach and artichoke dip 6/9/26“

“Delicious food and excellent selection of Michigan draft beers. Great atmosphere as well.“

“Took our first trip to this place just last night. Has a little bit of everything for those not looking to stay seated during dinner. Food took forever though and was decent. Waitress was a little lost with constantly asking our table of 6 what they ordered and whose drink went with whose order. Other than that the atmosphere was pretty cool. We played some cornhole, which was decently priced by the hour ($10). Plus they had classic arcade games, free to play like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Frogger, and Donkey Kong along with 90’s classics like Mortal Kombat, NFL Blitz and House of the Dead. Plus over a dozen pinballs. Arcade area was a sight to see since most places now use carnival or ticket games. They also had a poker room which was full. Did not see any pool tables, darts or disc golf so not sure if those get removed during poker night. I’d consider coming back but not during their busier times. It was more than half capacity but id imagine an even further delay on food or your wait staff being really lost handling more than 20 orders at multiple tables. Either way I’d recommend it as long as you aren’t really hungry going in or don’t like huge crowds.“

“Nice time Saturday night. First timers. Good band, service, burgers and cold beers. We’ll be back!!“

“Love, love, love it!“

“Over 5 stars recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The atmosphere, staff, and food was all phenomenal at Whiskey Rae's! The smell, taste and love in the food. It's gourmet homemade food with a twist 🤌 Much respect and appreciation for the Chef Drew. Excellent hospitality and service from our down to earth server Isla!“

“Great spot for drinks, food and karaoke. Make sure to get the tipsy wings they won't disappoint and the turkey sandwich is to die for. Let's not forget about the trash cans. They don't disappoint and you only need 1. Thank me later lol“

“Love the live music with Tony!“

“Great food! Great atmosphere! Nena is always the best server! Always fun playing board games on Tuesday.“

“This place is crazy good.
I got the hangover burger and some cheese sauce for my fries (I recommend dunking ur burger in it too omghhh).
The bacon has a super smokey flavor, the egg was perfectly runny, hash brown didn't get soggy, patties were cooked nice. I love the fries too, has a little sugar and balances out the salty.
I went home and slept for 3 hours so if you have plans after I wouldn't recommend it 😂.
Bloody Mary was good too, nice n peppery
10/10 will be back“

“Good food. Great service. Ask for Montana, she was great. I had a burger, friends had wings. Burger was good, friends raved about the wings. If we ever come back to the area, we’ll definitely visit again.“

“Fun place to meet friends“

“great food and atmosphere,“

“Dude. We went here last night…AMAZING. Food was great. Drinks were great. Music was A VIBE. I feel bad I don’t remember the server’s name who was outside on the patio, but genuinely some of the best service I’ve ever had, and I worked in the industry for 10+ years. He made great recommendations, was running his butt off, and just overall did a great job. You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing. We’ll definitely be back!!“

“Wow! One of best burgers I’ve ever had. My coworker thought the fish was also excellent. This is a Cheers type bar with great food and service. Will be back!!!“

“My husband and I live just down the road from Mug Pub, and it’s become one of our favorite local spots! We love the fun, lively atmosphere, the fantastic drinks, and the friendly staff. The food is great too. We highly recommend Mug Pub for anyone looking for a fun sports bar experience!“

“best food i have had in some time“

“Great restaurant for a birthday gathering! Our great server (sorry I forgot her name) was so very attentive to us! She checked on us often and never kept us waiting for anything! They had live music. The food was great! The drinks were great! The service was great! 5Apr25“

“Get the nacho ultra!! Seriously so good!!“

“Good place for a quick bite & drinks prior to heading to the comedy club. The food & drinks were good- the service was good for the most part. We paid full price for 7 drinks but when we realized there was a happy hour menu & wanted to try a drink off of it- our waitress mentioned it was 6:00 & too late. We said it’s 5:55. She replied we go by bar time. What? She ended up putting it in but we found it odd after spending $150 in food & drinks up to that point she’d give us grief about getting $4 off a happy hour drink we wanted to try. We’d go back but for sure ask about specials prior to ordering as they weren’t mentioned.“

“We ended up stopping at this restaurant for a dine in at 1:00 pm. The employees there was very nice and respectful. The food (Chef's Burger and Fries) was delicious and fresh. It wasn't even busy on a Monday at 1:00 pm, but the atmosphere was positively good 😊. I will visit this location again 😊“

“Awesome Place , Service & Food off the Hook Delicious !!!“

“Still just a great place to hang out. We had a very big group. They easily accommodated us. Multiple checks were no issue. So different people could come and go with no issue. They have a very wide range of beverages to choose from.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access with wide aisles.“

“We had a great time in our private igloo. It was an experience for our Super Seniors (parents). Good food, AMAZING SERVICE (Thanks Mary🥰), memories created.“
