Looking for somewhere different to go for lunch and my son is always up for spin the yelp wheel of options and we came across this gem. what made this a great experience was the friendliness of staff. While our order was initially not correct it was addressed immediately which to me is what truly elevates an experience. The owner also knew it was our first visit and provided us with an order of fries to sample. The brisket was very tender and flavorful. This place is tucked in the corner of an old downtown building in Utica which adds to its charm. They serve lunch daily until 2pm read more

Very good brisket recipe with the rice very unique flavors that are so different from other BBQ recipes and dishes. These guys are very friendly and helpful in choosing a dish. They stay pretty busy too. I would recommend this for lunch and or dinner too read more

My family and I were in the area and saw they had great reviews so we had to stop in. I love brisket so I had to try some. It's a cute spot on the corner with great menu options. They didn't have a lot of tables to sit at but had more like bar top seating. When we came in there were 2 guys working and were so kind and welcoming. They even gave us free samples of the brisket over rice. This is probably some of the best brisket I've had in a while and the white sauce and hot sauce they put on it made it taste even better and brought all of the flavors together. After that first bite of the sample I was sold and had to order the small brisket over rice. It's a healthy serving and don't think I could eat a large serving which was the other option. My dad ordered the Brooklyn Cheesesteak which has brisket in place of steak and he ate it up before we could ask for a bite! It didn't come with fries so I'd recommend ordering some if you want more than just the sandwich. The service was great and fast. The next time I'm in town I'll be back to try one of their smash burgers and fries. read more

Good music, nice clean restaurant and friendly, polite staff. Now for the food! Got the Brooklyn Cheesesteak. It was heavenly. Like bite into it and close your eyes to savor every flavor heavenly. The bread to meat ratio was perfect, and they use a nice bread that is crispy but soft that complements the contents nicely. Wasn't soggy either, but wonderfully greasy and saucy in the best most flavorful way. 13 bucks for that is great! Everything looks delicious though and I will be back. read more

The food was so good the workers had a good attitude,I will recommend this place if you're hungry or just need something to eat.

We were passing thru on the 90 and decided to stop in Utica for lunch. The reviews looked pretty good and safe to say they were right on. Friendly staff, gave us a sample of the brisket & rice. Had me at the first taste. Just a few table and chairs, mostly a take out place. read more

To be honest one of our party was apprehensive- "it looks a bit divey.". But boy are we glad we stopped. The food was beyond outstanding. The owner who is very personable gave us a try before you buy sample which had everyone ( including our picky eater) hooked. Not much of an eat in dinning area, enough to seat a few parties. I think most of the orders are take out. We will plan to be back next trip through Utica. read more

Great food and service. Personable staff. Small restaurant but EXQUISITE FLAVOR and TASTE. They have mastered their craft of cooking really well! Let your tastebuds be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. A must visit food experience in UTICA, NY. read more

Just had the most incredible meal from Brooklyn Brisket! I got the brisket over rice, and wow, the flavor was just out of this world. The meat was so tender and juicy, and the rice was seasoned perfectly. Everything tasted so fresh, and you can really tell they take pride in what they make. This is hands-down some of the best food in Utica, NY. I can't wait to come back and try the cheesesteak next! Five stars--highly recommend. read more

Surprisingly fire, Basically a NYC corner store deli, without the snacks Went for lunch Ordered Chicken over rice with white sauce, hot sauce and bbq. (a small) $8 it was flavorful and well per portioned And Their special Brisket sandwich (I'd recommend getting extra bbq sauce for it) but it was good The counterperson was helpful and the food took about 10 mins. I do wish they somehow had more seating (they only have bar top chairs facing the window and they were filled. There isn't much space left, but its cool to see that the kitchen/grill is visible in the front area. read more

Great food, very friendly service. Will go away happy and satisfied with choosing here to eat.

Very first time ordering it was phenomenal! Second time I ordered a LARGE and I asked prior to him bagging it "is that a LARGE?" Got it home and just as I suspected there wasn't even enough meat for one meal!!! Very disappointed read more

Needed a quick stop for lunch and was not disappointed. After trying a free sample of the brisket over rice with white sauce we were sold. My husband and I each got a mixed bowl with lamb and brisket. Our son got chicken tenders. The white sauce on the bowls was amazing! read more

We came in on a friends recommendation and were super happy. It's sort of a NY style deli with a wide variety of sandwiches and other items. We were told to try the brisket and it was AWESOME! So was the pastrami! The service was friendly and quick. I think they do mostly takeout, but there are a few tables inside, which was where we ate. It's not much for atmosphere but it more than checks all of the boxes for quality, service, and price. We also had their fries (in addition to a shared pastrami and brisket sandwiches) and they were super tasty as well. They add a spice mixture on them, which usually isn't out thing, but it was really flavorful without being overwhelming. I think this a great place for a meal on Genesee St in Utica. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by late and did not know what to expect. We were greeted by Bazul who enthusiastically offered us first time guests with a sample of his rice and chicken. We then had some more rice and chicken and a chicken gyro and then finished with a mango smoothie. Everything was delicious with its own unique flavor! Will definitely stop by when we are back in Utica. Thanks Bazil! read more

Great Brisket! I wish I lived closer so I could come regularly!!! Great service and you really get your moneys worth. I could only eat half of the sandwich. The Cole slaw was different in a good way really love a good slaw! Next time we are here we will be back... read more

one of the greats. top 2 and it's not two. the two guys behind the counter make the experience one of a kind.

Excellent food. We stopped here on our way to Vermont through Utica. It's basically like a deli counter. Best to order take out. Nice people too. I am gluten intolerant so the nice guy - who was obviously the boss - told me he would toast my gf bread to make me a delicious corned beef sandwich. It was so scrumptious and satisfying: very nice flavor, not too salty, not fatty, just perfect and on my gf bread! Both The pickles and the side of Cole slaw were very good too. Plus, The service was very pleasant. Oh and I had a banana and strawberry smoothie which was yummy too. Great place. However, it Doesn't look like much from the street but the food is better than Katz's in NYC. It's just a simple space with some bar stools by the front window. But clean and bright. read more

The food comes quick and it is absolutely delicious. The BBQ sauces alone are worth giving it a try.

Got the Brooklyn Sandwich. Brisket was a little dry, but I believe you can have them add sauce to it to take care of that. Overall the sandwich was well worth it. The guys behind the counter were helpful when explaining what's in the menu items and we're quick to get the food ready for you. The place had a small deli vibe to it and it was easy to see them putting together your order if you stood in the right spot. Definitely coming back to this again next time I swing through Utica! read more
