Used to eat at Joe's in the old days when I worked in Utica. Recently visited Utica and purposely went on Tues. so I could have Braciole at Joe's. Arrived at 4:30pm and was told the kitchen was closed at 4. I should have checked their hours before going. They are only open Tues & Sat. 12 noon to 4pm. Who eats dinner before 4pm? Disappointing to say the least!
Love this place!!Another fine tuesday meal at Joes!Thank you all!!!
Priceless food and help they are keeping the East Utica recipes alive

Joe's Restaurant is a beloved institution in Utica, serving up traditional Italian flavors in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu features a range of family-style dishes, including tripe, fried peppers, and hearty options like long hots, meatballs, and mushroom stew. Portions are generous, making it easy to enjoy leftovers. While the hours may be limited, the quality of the food and warm atmosphere make it a quintessential part of Utican food culture and history.
Customers praise the restaurant's friendly and attentive service, describing it as "old school" and the opposite of "hipster trendy" establishments. The food is praised for its great quality and reasonable prices, with highlights including the fried bologna sandwich with hot peppers, vodka riggies, and the flavorful meatballs. The spaghetti and red sauce is also a standout, and the roasted sweet and long hots are a favorite side dish, served with soft Italian bread and grated cheese.
