The bun alone was outstanding. Excellent fusion of flavors. Everyone else in our group ordered the Classic Burger, and every single person had great things to say about it. If you're in Old Forge or even passing through Utica, Rooster's is absolutely worth the stop.

A friend and I came here late one Friday night (around 7PM) for wings on a snowy night. The place…read morewas busy with take-out orders, and several groups were sitting at tables. It was loud, cramped, and a bit dark inside, which reminded me of a bar setting even though it wasn't at all set up like one. It was also cold, because every time the front door opened a cold breeze blew in. We ordered 30 bone-in wings and two drinks and it was over $50. I guess that is how it goes. The wings varied in size from normal to huge. No tiny wings in the bunch, and they were a good mix of flats and drumsticks. We got Buffalo, Barbecue, and Hawaiian flavors. I never got to try the Buffalo but the other two flavors were good. However, they were smothered in sticky sauce which got cloying after awhile and completely rendered your fingers disgusting. A roll of paper towels at the counter helped, though I had to go back after every couple of wings for more. The Hawaiian had a strong ginger flavor which was different and enjoyable. However, in sum I think they need to use less sauce in the future. Drinks were via the all-in-one soda machine that seems to have a million flavors on tap. It is right by the door and the area was crowded, so getting to the machine wasn't easy. It was fun to go out for wings, though it wasn't cheap. I rarely eat wings anymore so I can't say if the prices were fair or not, but they were good wings.

Ewwww! Poor service…read more- I walked in to an empty store with several workers in the kitchen. I stood looking at them occasionally glancing my way while they busily prepared orders. Despite my standing under the PLACE ORDER HERE sign for greater than 6 minutes no one ever acknowledged my presence. I suppose one of the workers felt me staring a hole in his back so he turned around and our eyes met. I gestured to the cash register and the sign with a questioning expression. His sassy response was "Just a minute ma'am. There's only one person that works the register" Questionable food handling - as I waited for my order I watched EVERY SINGLE WORKER touch the order screen then handle the food with their bare hands. I even witnessed an incident where Mr. Only Cashier picked up a packed order bag, opened it, took out 2 orders of fries covered them with his whole bare hand and transferred them to a different order bag. He then sealed the 1st order back up, put on the shelf where it was, and got back to it. Two important takeaways: there is a sign posted about how serious they take hand washing Mr. Only Cashier did get some hand foam on a dispenser before he took my order. But he didn't get any on the return trip to the kitchen. 10/10 would not recommend!

The burgers are juicy, loaded, and exactly what you want when you're craving something unapologetically good. And the fries? Let's just say they don't believe in small portions and I'm not complaining. Is it fancy? Not even a little. Is it worth it every time? Absolutely.

Always a favorite. Haven't been in a while and was surprised by the changes. French fry portions…read morehave always been huge with a full cup and a scoop of fries thrown in bag. Cup has changed to a small bag of fries. Very disappointing as this is one of my favorite items. Burgers were on the dry side but this is one of my favorite fast food hamburger joints. Item prices are higher for items but typically a better quality than McDonalds or Burger King. Restaurant was busy at this visit and staffed seemed overwhelmed as we had to go back up as our order/bill was not correct and dining area needed a little TLC. My other favorite thing is their soda machine's with all the different flavors. Great place for a quick bite

I haven't been to an Arby's in probably 20 years, because they closed all of the locations in my…read morestate, so I was SO EXCITED to see one in Utica while we were passing through town. I HAD TO order my favorites, a beef and cheddar and a French dip with Swiss, and they tasted exactly like I remember! My family tried some of their other menu items; a buffalo chicken sandwich, a Reuben, some drinks, curly fries, and some mozzarella sticks. We spent over $60, which is a lot for fast food, but got our fill to last us until the next time we run across another Arby's.

There's honestly not much to say. It's fast food. They offer types of food items, not sold at other…read moreplaces(Gyro burgers/Corned Beef Reuben/etc.) It's in a decent location. I could be wrong but Arby's as a chain, seems like it's struggling. We'll know the commercial slogan,"Arby's has the meats," but it's as epic as saying, "we give free napkins." Maybe it's an advertising/sales problem. I like their cookies and Jamocha shakes. On an off note, many fast food places offer ice cream and shakes. Being lactose intolerant, I know better than have any dairy; which cuts out much of deserts. At this point, one would think, fast food would look into substituting dairy for coconut(Almonds have bad lectins and oats contain sugar.) just a thought.

We were in the middle of our cross-country move when we remembered we still had a gift card from a…read morefriend, so we decided to stop at this location. The last time I dined at Red Lobster was probably around 10 years ago, and honestly, without the gift card I probably wouldn't have thought about coming back. Surprisingly, though, their newer menu had a few interesting options. We ordered the lobster flatbread and a pasta to share. The flatbread was actually pretty good and easily the highlight of the meal, with a nice amount of lobster and good flavor. The pasta, on the other hand, was pretty mediocre and tasted like something you could easily get better at almost any Italian restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out quickly. Overall, it worked well as a convenient and satisfying stop during our road trip.

Red Lobster has been a main staple in our family starting with all you can eat snow crabs (long…read moresince discontinued) to endless shrimp which comes and goes but definitely a place where we would go and over eat. We had not been in awhile since new management took over, endless shrimp was removed, and food and service just were not the same. When we heard endless shrimp had returned we knew we had to go back. Mind you prices for participating in the shrimp free for all has gone up substantially and will set you back 29.99 a person. For me I can no longer eat like that so bowed out of the free for all. My partner in crime was totally on board for participating n the free for all.... While plates come out steadily food quality and taste are just not there. Given the price endless shrimp is no longer the deal it used to be and for the price would rather order quality seafood. The restaurant is in clear need of TLC and has not been updated in many years. Sad as days gone by I remember when endless shrimp was in full swing there would be a wait for a table with all three dining rooms open. Unfortunately, the place is like a tired ghost town which is sad to see and would not be surprised to see it close.
