New American Restaurants near Oriskany, NY

“Myself and four friends went there for Friday fish fry. The service was prompt the place was very clean. Large selection of draft beer on tap as well bottled and canned beer in the coolers. We all ordered the Utica beer breaded fish fry. Cannot be more happier with their meal the fish was huge and lightly breaded. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Large selection of craft beers. I definitely will be back.“

“I brought my family to Rooster’s last weekend and we had an incredible experience. The smash burgers are tasty, but the best part about the place is the owner and his staff. They took the time to make sure our kids had what they needed to be comfortable and happy. Lots of smiles and good conversations, we will definitely be going back here on future Utica visits!!!“

“In sporting vernacular: grand slam, eagle, bullseye!! The planning for my 50th birthday party started with Motus months prior. The details of the menu, signature cocktail, embellishments and affordable pricing were as smooth as silk. The follow up meetings were effective and brief. Every detail was accommodated in style and with class. When Alicia said not to worry, they will handle everything, I left it in their capable hands and didn’t give it another thought. The event of about 30 family and dear friends was an astounding and resounding success. One word: Delicious! The presentation was wonderful. The service was timely, accurate, professional, and nearly invisible throughout the evening. Everyone is still raving about the menu variety, service, and the General sumptuousness of the event. This was the best choice. Alicia, you are wonderful!! We are still on cloud 9. This one review represents 28 rave accolades and approvals. Job well done!“

“Absolutely recommend tailor and the cook to anyone awesome staff drinks food amazing We will definitely be back ❤️❤️🍷🍷“

“If I could sum up my perfect dining experience by using one name, it would be Nola’s. It’s brick and cozy with perfect lighting… a small, quaint spot in a charming, picturesque town. The service was great… the staff, kind. The two of us ordered half the menu, but still can’t decide which plate was the best. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on and they know how to cook a steak perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. Highly recommend Nola’s.“

“Absolutely amazing evening! Me and my wife Mary went to try this place out after hearing our friends rave reviews. Amazing staff, awesome decor, and the food? Second to none. Glad to have this place right down the road from home!!! Our waitress Jenna was fantastic and super sweet!“

“I live in NC these days but whenever I’m here a dinner at The Willows is mandatory. Not only is the food exceptional but the staff is great.“

“I stopped after having a test at the hospital. I ordered the turkey dinner. It was the moistest turkey I have ever eaten. Big portions. Worth the drive!“

“I love City Cafe! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Their coffee is the best in town, and the pastries? Absolutely divine! A perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. Highly recommend.“

“We have eaten in twice, and done takeout once, recently, and all three experiences were excellent. Our waitress/ cook was welcoming and attentive. Pizza was cooked perfectly, with ample toppings. We tried different flavors of wings each time, and the favorites were Everything, Sweet n’ Spicy, and Honey Barbecue. Highly recommend! We will be back soon!“

🥜 Peanut allergy warning!

If you have severe peanut allergies, please be careful. There are three nut grinders on site. They are self serve, which means peanut particles may be getting into the air and peanut butter itself might find its way around the store on customers' hands. The same is potentially true of any nut products in the bulk dispensers.

Nevertheless, for the most part this is an absolutely fantastic store. It has all manner of things you can't easily find elsewhere... with 🌱 organic options, 🍅 vegan options, etc. etc. If you have a specialty diet, this store will probably have something for you. If you don't have a specialty diet, then the whole store is your oyster!

They have produce, self-serve spices, bulk coffee beans, tons of unique food and snacks, hygiene products, a cafe, and even a fun part in front of the store with homespun stuff like handwoven baskets and plastic-free brushes. This store really is a gem and I hope it persists for a long time. Kudos Team Cornucopia!“

“Most of the Area baby boomer cut our drinking teeth at the Post. I remember Larry behind the bar, always a great venue for the up & coming local bands. Pool Foose ball and an occasional trip to the porch! still to this day when I travel back to visit Rome Its my Go to spot to enjoy good folks and good music !“

“We had my grandmothers funeral service this past Monday and Michael T’s was able to open up afterwards for our reception. The food was great. The server was amazing. The owner is awesome. They also catered my wedding 9 years ago. Really great place. I recommend them to everyone!“

“We rolled into swifty’s on a Sunday for lunch, 30 minutes after they opened with a 16 year old hockey team and parents who were killing time between hockey games at the nexus center and wanted a place to watch the bills game for a bit. I am sure they were overwhelmed by 45 people who walked in at one time. Let me just say… they were amazing. Everyone got their drinks and then everyone placed a food order. The bar tender.. Amanda? Was the best! The food rolled out of that kitchen like it was normal. And to top it off.. everyone’s lunch was awesome. Huge burgers, great pizza, one huge fan of the chicken parm, loaded fry’s had multiple fans and the other wraps and sandwiches all had great reviews. Nobody was dissapointed. Next time we’re in Utica for a tournament, we definitely will be dropping by again! I will at least give them a heads up next time. :) Great Job Swifty’s! Everyone on Sunday did a fantastic job.

“The food is homemade and delicious, the service is fast and pleasant and the prices are very low! The best Mac and cheese I have ever tasted!“

“Good food, especially the Riggies. Service is always great. Nice place for a night cap or playing games with friends!“

“Definitely a Utica 5 out of 5. All depends on what day you go Sundays closes early so be careful. Dana is amazing, Ari is superb, Maria is excellent and Maureen is spectacular. Food is delicious. meticulously created. My favourites are the steak and salmon. And my knew one is the lamb. Nothing like it definitely a spot not to miss“

“The portions are big! The filet mignon was cooked well and still tender. The creamed corn, although the menu stated it had jalapeños, was not very spicy, which is good for someone that doesn't eat that way. Their seasonal buttery cake with ice cream, apples, and caramel drizzle was a sweet and salty deliciousness! A mocktail mojito was crisp and refreshing. On a Monday evening, it was perfectly quiet.“

“always enjoy breakfast at lunchtime.“

“The most absolute amazing salad you can design. Trust me when I say put some hot purple rice in the bottom of the bowl and start building the rest! Fresh grated ginger is a game changer. Don't forget all the free extras by the cash register you can add on. In New Hartford the manager is Austin and he is absolutely incredible! He runs a wonderful establishment and is constantly helping his workers out. My friend and I go here every 3 weeks and have our favorite table we always sit at. Austin even remembers all my toppings all the way to the well done steak. Incredible service and atmosphere.“

“The food was amazing and the staff were quick and helpful. love the outside dining“
