This was my first visit to Old School. I sat outside with a large group of people. The setting was fantastic; open and airy but close enough to be connected with those around you. The service was great. No one waited an excessive amount of time despite the size of our group. The food was spot on: the homemade chips perfection and the steak sandwich generous, cooked beautifully, and with amazing toppings.
Really poor service even though it wasn’t very busy. Waited 5 minutes before anyone greeted us. Food was mediocre at best and quite expensive for the quality. Food also took incredibly long for a very basic order (fried chicken sandwich). Wait staff were friendly, hence the two stars but other than that I don’t have anything else good to say about this place. Much better options in Utica so definitely won’t be coming back.
One of my favorite local bars. My type of crowd friendly and fun to talk to same as the staff. I love their bar the whole thing is covered in pennies which adds something that make my beer taste just a little colder and better. The food is perfect for that setting and crowd. Burgers wings quesadillas etc. Good place to spend a Friday night with your coworkers after the work week is done. I love their steak sandwich it’s as good as any other place in Utica great with greens. The food is a bit on the pricey side But overall a good experience
Had a girls night out at Old School. Great atmosphere, service was wonderful and food was really delicious. Looking forward to eating there again soon.
Crab cakes were really good. The New England clam chowder was delicious, but was not hot enough . . . should be heated to 180°
My favorite lunch spot in Utica. I love the food and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. One of their lunch specials, the Chicken Riggie sandwich, is amazing and my favorite. If you haven’t tried this restaurant it is a must to go!
2/1/2022After a full day of skiing at the Mighty Gore Mtn…I was REALLY hungry and looking forward to a good meal… Stopped in to the Old Skool Bar & Grille enroute home, ordered a Cobb Salad and a beverage..!!This Cobb Salad was PERFECT and HUGE (as Billy Fuccillo would have said)!!!!!Every meal that I have ever had here has been delicious and Portions are very generous!!!Oh, and the garlic bread and my “beverage” wasn't bad either!!?
Met up with a friend here on Tuesday evening. Great atmosphere friendly staff. I will be coming back!
Nice local bar with food! Cool place to settle down watch a game have a beer/drink and snack, or even a dinner! Local is the way to go! One less star for: I would like the help to be a little more attentive. (In a perfect world)
I enjoyed old school grill a few times and loved it. Their tenderloin sandwich with sautéed onions and peppers was delicious and so tender. They serve a different type of potato that are really good. First time eating Utica greens and I’m hooked and spoiled by old school! I’m going to try and make it but can’t wait to get back to old school
