The food was outstanding, and Joe and Monica were incredibly accommodating—communicating clearly right up to the day before the event. They never gave me any trouble, even as I kept adding guests to the list! I’m sad to see them leave the business, but excited for whatever comes next in their journey. Thank you for helping make our evening so special!“

“Let’s start with the food… nothing short of AMAZING. We got an array of food, chicken, veal, pasta, shrimp, calamari. The portion sizes are UNREAL. Enough for at least two meals after you eat. Now our waitress Brenda. She is everything a waitress should be and MORE. Unbelievable people skills. She made us feel like family, like we’ve known her forever. She was absolutely INCREDIBLE!❤️ we’ll be back for sure!“

“very slow lunch service.“

“I love the Bamb Burger. The only thing better than that is the Double Bamb Burger!“

“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!“

“It has been my great pleasure to eat and drink and socialize at Nola’s for thirteen years.

The faces are always friendly and the offerings always delicious! I’ve seen the interior redecorated one or two times, indulged in takeout drinks during COVID, had strangers at the bar buy my dinner twice, and so much more. Nola’s and the people who run it are a huge blessing to the community!

After all that time, at long last I feel compelled to exalt the Nola’s experience and tell anyone who will listen about a new offering on the Spring 2026 menu:

The Nashville Hot Chicken

A gorgeous pair of beautifully breaded cutlets in a creamy dill blue cheese sauce that sets off the hot sauce and complements the accompanying stack of red cabbage slaw and sweet & sour pickles. It is a festival of flavors and textures any way you bite it.
It’s been on the menu for less than two weeks and I’ve come up with excuses to go eat it three times so far (soon to be four thank goodness!)

So, hustle on over and order that chicken!!!“

“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!“

“Dave Morgan is #1 in my book. Catered my daughter s wedding on October 9, 2022. Not one stone was left unturned. The food was dead on and the service he provided was fantastic! You will not be disappointed when Dave Morgan and his crew roll in! Dave is all about what you the client wants. Just say it and he does it to a T! Thank you Dave for all you did for us❤️“

I had a "lobster tail" for dessert (flaky pastry in shape of lobster tail filled with chocolate mousse). It was off-the-charts-GREAT. Go! Prices are very decent, food is great.“

“This is a great place for lunch meetings. I meet two of my good friends every two weeks here to enjoy the good food and to visit with Barb, excellent service!! I really like their homemade horseradish sauce, and fried pickle skewers as an appetizer! They have really good food and sizable portions.“

“Best experience I’ve ever had! My server Jackie was very attentive, fast, friendly, and emitted so much radiance and beauty. She made me feel so comfortable that I feel like I’ve known her FOREVER! Aside from the WONDERFUL service, the food was soooo DELICIOUS! 10000/10 experience for sure!!!“

“Just went to get ice cream at Friendly’s, and it was the best service that I’ve had there in a long time!! Fast service, workers were very polite and the peanut butter cup sundae was amazing! It actually had ice cream and toppings!!! Not sure all the workers names, but it was 7/5/22 -9:30 pm. Thank you!!“

“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!“

The lovely aroma of spices and herbs give a pleasent walk in experience and set the tone for your shopping experience. Reasonably priced, quality products, this is whe4e you go for all your holistic needs and tastey treats.“

“Awesome local spot! The staff, prices and vibe are all fantastic. It's a very welcoming spot for younger and older crowds 🤘🏻 Highly recommended.“

“If you have never been to Castlewood Cafe, now is the time! With higher prices and decreasing quality and every popular chain, Castlewood continues to offer their large menu, with same quality products! They have not changed that in this economy! My family chooses Castlewood over all the restaurants in this area! What’s more, the friendly smiles and excellent waiting staff! I strongly recommend this small mom and pop diner that has a menu to satisfy everyone, even the pickiest of eaters!“

“Great food and excellent rotating beer selection. Always friendly to both new and old customers.“

“Great place for parties and to bring your kids for game!!“

“Great people serving the absolute best fish fry in CNY!“

The atmosphere, decor, space and food offered us a relaxing and comfortable “night before” celebration! The staff was outstanding! So friendly and welcoming to our group. Joanne was so great to work with during planning and at the dinner. The bartender and wait staff were attentive and personable. Overall a great experience! Thank you!“

“always enjoy breakfast at lunchtime.“

“Wonderful service and delicious food! Never had a bad experience! Would recommend Texas Roadhouse in New Hartford NY to everyone!“

“Emilie provided above and beyond service, anticipating our every want before we even asked. Her attitude was pleasant and kind. She was always moving, taking care of not only our table, but several more in our area. She always had a smile on her face. Awesome service!“

“An absolutely amazing place to go and having me up with your loved one or your whole family. We stopped by and the service was amazing. The food is always cooked to perfection.My food came out fast and was hot! I loved the atmosphere and I also love the energy there. We are looking forward to going back there again! 5 stars!!👍“

“IT can be noisy. Not the noise level of these obnoxious chain restaurants. The food, and service was great, as I took a very tall gal, to Teddy's on a date. We had a great time, and were seated promptly. The service staff, did not rush us nor were the meals delivered, right after the appetizers as many chain restaurants do to service as many customers as possible.
We also chose Teddy's Restaurant, as we live close by, and had no need to drive there. The other option was a restaurant on North James street. Prices are about the same.
I had the broiled Haddock. Delicious. She had the Big Daddy Chicken sandwich. Italian nachos, was our appetizer. We shared a slice of carrot cake. Delicious.
I just wonder if Teddy's, would serve more people, if it located onto Chestnut street near Griffiss business park. Everything, as gar as jobs, the Copper City is receiving, ends-up on Griffiss.“

“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.“

“Great place to hear live local bands outside“

“Really good honey siracha chicken wings and generous serving of loaded tots!“

“WOW! The Haddock Beer 🍺 Batter Fish 🐟 Fry was the BEST fish fry EVER! 💕💕💕 So delicious 😋! The tarter sauce was fantastic, it comes with Cole Slaw and steak fries, but I chose Rice Pilaf which was yummy! I highly recommend Rt.69 Steakhouse - it's really cute inside, and the staff is friendly and helpful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars 🤩“

“Usually like the food at Mr Gs - I ordered fried fish dinner. Fish was overcooked, coating so hard on bottom of the 2 pieces. The mashed potatoes very dark and dry. The cole slaw was gross, it didnt seem like cabbage, more like kale. Since it was comped I didnt say anything. My wifes brolied fish was ok. The menu is the same old, week in and week out. A prime rib is offered on Weds in December, but why not have prime rib on weekends? Anyways not good last nite but will go again.“
