Restaurants near Whitesboro

“The family is wonderful and the premises is very clean. The food is among the very best I have ever had. Having been raised on Italian and Lebanese cuisine, I have experienced the best middle eastern dishes my entire life. Everything I've had at the restaurant has been absolutely delicious and as good as any I've had. I've been going back over several weeks on Saturdays for Kibbee Nayih (sp?). You won't be disappointed, so give them a try!”

“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.”

“The food is fantastic. And the waitresses are on spot always.”

“Hands down best upside down pizza!”

“Fantastic food, above and beyond service making me and my loved ones’ days brighter than ever. I ordered a BBQ Pizza and it is the best I’ve had. Will come back for more 😄”

“Decent overall, kind & kid friendly.
Their portions on some meals should definitely be larger for what you pay. But they do have some nice options such as their riggies.”

“Friendly curtious, fast, and accurate. Always a good experience at Whitesboro.”

“This is a nice shop. The crew working during this visit was a bit young and still learning. We were not greeted as we came in, like we usually are. The two guys were friendly and polite and did a good job but need work on their customer service skills as far as communicating.”

“Our Summer 2022 Driver’s Ed is Taste Testing Iced Carmel Lattes at Dunkin, Utica Coffee and Starbucks and today. Visit us tomorrow at NYS Driver Ed at Mount Markham for the results.”

“The service here was above and beyond. We had one of the most special nights celebrating as a family here. The bartender (Anthea) made custom drinks for us based on our favorite memory. It was something we’ll never experience again.”

“What an absolutely delightful experience going into this charming shop on our stay in Utica! We were drawn in by the reviews, and quickly saw it was well deserved, the service was amazing, the young men working there delightful, and unique offerings for very reasonable prices. Going back again today.”

“The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming! The food was the best I’ve ever eaten! Cannot recommend this establishment enough! We’ll be stopping by every time we come visit New York!”

“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!!!”

“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!!!”

“Tech house, open format, EDM, house, great cocktails, delicious small plates and an effortlessly lovely staff.”

“I ordered a wrap made with their new Saj. The wrap was huge! The food was fresh and absolutely delicious! I barely ate a quarter of the wrap and I’m already full. The app is very user friendly, easy to use and alerts you when the food is ready! I’ll be back!! I highly recommend!”

“Robin and Garrett have created a warm, inviting, and inclusive atmosphere for all. They offer salads, sandwiches, soups and other delicious fares. The Tram is much more than a coffeehouse, but all their variety of coffee offerings would make any barista proud. Please support The Tram and help local businesses in the Utica area thrive. You won’t be disappointed with the Tram.”

“Amazing, amazing, amazing…10 stars! Smash burgers excellent, pastrami fries are out of this world.”

“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!”
