Wow ! What a beautiful place. Visiting relatives in Utica and we always look for a local restaurant to try new dishes. We found a great one in Craylee’s. Intimate dining room with a great atmosphere. They had a few specials on the board so I decided to try one. Stuffed French Toast $11.75. Really? I’d would have paid double. It was delicious. The only thing better was our service. “Andrea” is the best. She had that personal, friendly disposition along with a Central New York attitude. ( It was a good thing) even though she is originally from Orlando. Thank you to Andrea for taking such great care of me and my family. I like the added touch of a deck of cards on the table. My brother and I had time for a quick game of Pitch. Great restaurant you have there Craylee’s. Thank you!

Great food and superb service. It does get loud in here but it’s a cool vibe. The mushroom omelette was great tasting and cooked perfect just as was the eggs Benedict.

This is a great place to eat the service was friendly, patient and thoughtful. Their food was delicious and came in large portions. If your thinking about trying this place just do it if your passing by and they are open stop in you will not be disappointed.

Welcomed as soon as we walked in and offered to sit at any open table. The special Irish eggs Benedict was amazing. I substituted biscuit for english muffin. My wife had a Greek omlette and she was very happy with it. The extra surprise was the homedries. Whatever seasoning they use is killer even adding my ketchup. I ate everything it was the best breakfast I had in a while. Thank you Craylees!

I had a great breakfast here. My server was efficient and super friendly. Food was great, and looked great. I got the hash benedict and a side of bacon. The bacon was actually very good, better than most places.

What a great little gem of a restaurant. We just beat the big Sunday rush. The servers were busting their buns getting ppl in and out... But not rushing us at all. Got the Elvis french toast, veggie omelette, and corned beef hash omelette. The peasant bread toast was a plus.. melted butter! Absolutely delicious. And the coffee was fresh, hot, and smoothe. Def a must stop in place. Comfortable at home friendly vibe. Right on Bleaker, it is close to everything Utica.

Went on google looking for a place for breakfast and saw this place. Delicious food. Oh my gosh portions are huge. I got the Irish omelette and it was the best ever! I had this meal 3x. Waitress was nice. Definitely will be going back again!

All I can say is wow wow wow! Little late to the party but Craylees is not to be missed! When we started coming in the waitress saw that we had a small child with us and immediately got a high chair ready before we even got through the door. The staff is warm and friendly and they have done a outstanding decorating and creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The menu from a cost perspective is super approachable and filled with incredible food options. I opted for the meat lovers skillet and was blown away by the size of the portion. You definitely get your money’s worth. While breakfast and homestyle food is typically greasy and heavy everything we had was really well made, not greasy whatsoever and DELICIOUS! Also worth noting is that the coffee they serve is super smooth and pairs very well the delicious food. The owner was present and happy to talk with us and really cares about her craft. Craylees is a perfect example of someone following there vision and executing perfectly! This will become a staple restaurant for my family do not miss!

Came in for breakfast on Saturday at 9:30am. Seated promptly, despite being fairly busy. Very friendly service. Free parking on the streets outside. Decent selection of options. Coffee was good. The pancakes were good, wish they had real maple syrup. Irish Benedict was good, highly recommend their hash Browns. The steak and egg combo was very good. Overall good experience. The only down side was their entrance has no wind break or double entry, so the cold wind comes rushing in whenever anyone enters, and it's a busy place. Installing a double entry or a heated wind curtain fan on the door would be tremendous for overall heating/comfort.

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast atmosphere in downtown Utica. Opted for Hannah’s Special; though tasty, the portion was smaller than expected compared to other places. Reasonable prices overall. Highly recommend this spot! 👍🏼
