I ordered the Steak and Shrimp Skewers, which came with a side, so I got the garlic mashed potatoes. My boyfriend went with the regional specialty - Utica Riggies - a creamy, spicy pasta dish that is typically made with chicken. You could choose shrimp, chicken, or sausage, so he went with the sausage and ordered it medium heat. We both really enjoyed our dishes! They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area!

We came on a rainy Wednesday, so keep that in mind for the rest of the review…read more We were the only customers in the building, so we were seated right away. Our waitress was nice enough - she was also the bartender. We came here to try the wings - which were highly recommended to us. We tried to order the wings, and they were out of both the bone in and boneless wings. Bummer. I tried to order an entree, and they were out of that as well. Ended up ordering the chicken parm. My husband ordered the steak with creamy risotto. We split the fried mozzarella to start. Our meals came with side salads which were mostly onion and served with a very thick ranch dressing (almost like a veggie dip.) Not the worst salad I've had, but weird. The fried mozzarella turned things around for us - this was absolutely delicious. Thick, crispy, triangles with an incredible cheese pull on top of marinara sauce. My chicken parm was MASSIVE, and it was also super delicious. The marinara was good, the chicken was fried and crispy. My husbands steak was perfect. It was thick, well seared, and cooked just the way he likes it. The side of creamy risotto left a bit to be desired, but the steak made up for it. Overall, the food was good but the atmosphere was a bit strange. It was very quiet and bright in the dining area. It felt uncomfortable being the only two in the restaurant and the music was dead quiet on top of that. I can't say that we would come back, but the food was good! It left us wondering why the restaurant was so empty!

We were seated immediately which was awesome seeing as it was 4th of July weekend. We ordered the spinach and shrimp dip for an appetizer and we ate that up immediately. My boyfriend got a bacon cheeseburger which he thought was really good and cooked perfectly (medium rare fyi). I chose the drunken chicken which was huge and the chipotle mayo was a nice addition! Overall very good and filling. Slickers is always a good time with friendly customers and staff. I've never had a bad experience here!

Upon arrival the place was pretty busy but we saw two open booths to our left. Due to being a…read morefamily of 5, they told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait for a table, outside and inside options were full. We didn't realize they were attempting to close the section to the left. We waited about 25 mins. Some other families arrived with 4 and were seated immediately. We were finally seated. 10 minutes after we were seated I went back to the hostess and asked who are server is since we still didn't have drink orders. It was the server that was serving the table next to us. She never said, "oh I'll be right with you", even after she went to that table 5 times. They kept asking for drinks and crackers and more items. After I approached the hostess I saw them flag her down and ask her to serve us, not sure if she was supposed to go home, on break or what the breakdown with service happened to be. After the hostess flags her down she comes up to our table and asks for drinks, no apology for the wait or having to flag her down to get service. I said we have been here for 10 minutes, we are ready to place our full order. We order everything. It takes 11 minutes to bring 5 waters, 2 sodas, and 2 bottles of beer. This is after the place has now cleared and is quiet inside. 85% of the tables and bar are empty. 28 minutes later our food arrives. She never came back to ask for refills. She had two tables at this point, ours and a family of 4 behind us. After the food was delivered and we were eating I glanced over to the bar to see the manager, hostess, bar tender all eating chips and dip at the bar due to it all slowing down. The server came right over to ask if everything was ok and began leaving before we could answer. We would like more drinks. Buser never cleared our table. I had to put dirty dishes on the table being cleared next to us. Service was negative stars. I have two stars because the food was really good, the environment was ok. Some cobwebs in corners and the building is a little shabby, but it goes with the vibe. I would rather have stellar service and ok food than great food and not great service.

Any place with free refills on fountain drinks and homemade onions is always tops in my book, but my wrap was excellent. The Chicken Portobello Wrap has a blend of very flavorful cheeses and I loved with the grilled chicken and portobello mushroom and roasted red peppers. Great combo! The onion rings were stellar. The dipping sauce was hard to not just dip everything on my plate in, (I did it anyways)! Our server was so nice and made sure we had coffees and waters filled and love the at home vibe of the place. Great gem up in the north country!

For starters, we come in to Jebs and right away the servers bring us to our table. They are all nice and friendly. Then we order our drinks and they come right away!

Our family thinks that all the food here is amazing no matter what they order. Then we have to order the Desserts and their ice cream is the best Ive ever had. The Atmosphere has a very Adirondack feel to it which adds even more incredibleness to Jebs!!

We sat at the bar which is typical and had the absolute best experience with Emma, the bartender, who was big as a barn pregnant, but looking very cute.

I had the tacos and hubby had the grilled cheese with a cup of the soup of the day, all was very tasty!! Beer was very yummy! Should you happen upon Utica, NY, stop by Nail Creek Pub and Brewery, it's a great place to take a load off and have a local brew, great service and conversation.

Any other time, if you are not a regular, this place might not be for you. I've been here several times with mixed experiences. The last time I was there was a Thursday in the summer of 2024. My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.
