Tiny's Grill

Didn't stay long enough for dinner. The noise level was a bit overpowering. However, it was usually a very good experience. The entertainment was very loud for the acoustics. Service is always good. And the food as well. I missed seeing the doggie LOL.

I haven't been in Utica in years and it was so refreshing and wonderfully heartwarming to return to Tiny's for lunch. As usual, the food was phenomenal and the service divine. Jo's smile and meticulous concern just brightened the mood. My son, who had never been there before, said the robust green salad he had with grilled chicken was the best he had ever eaten. My spaghetti and meatballs reminded me of what incredibly luscious delicacies I have been missing with my move out of the area. Always nice to come home. And reassuring to know that Tiny's and Jo Gerace are still on the menu. Sincerely, Mike from Warwick New York

Prices are great! I've been coming here for years upon years. Place is still the same place it's always been w/ a few new faces. This is where you stop in during St. Patty's Day when making your rounds. Love it!

The best Rueben I have ever had. Very fresh. A little pricey but well worth the money. After reading other patron reviews about the owners conduct to people just passing by and the way they treated these people I am appalled and will never frequent Tinys again.

Had a great time every time we’ve been there. Extremely welcoming and slight quirky vibe. Bartenders are easy to talk to, and service is always prompt. Plus…the nutcracker display is truly impressive. Definitely worth stopping in at least once to experience the space!

Bartender was great, however have not had a chance to eat here because I could never find the menu online? Here you go foodies, menu loaded, by my pictures, great atmosphere, small outside patio, and apparently known for their fish fry. Randomly, walked into the filming of a NY Bestseller book too!

The bar tender/waiter was awesome! We were the only ones in the restaurant. He made sure we got to sit where we wanted, made the food deliciously, and was wonderful over all. Next time we pass through, we will stop again!

Open since 1934, this unique spot is apparent once you open the door: The owner's Jack Russell terrier barks at you, announcing your arrival. He is then willing to be petted, and circles back to your table to be sociable. We arrived on a Lenten Friday, searching for a fish fry. It was all we could have hoped for and more: Choice of three portion sizes, generous sides, and it arrived quickly. There are daily specials, written on the blackboard by the front door. The patrons are mostly neighbor regulars at the bar; the music is late 70's Top 40. This is a good place to relax.

Great food. But just a little upset by the terms of your gift certificates. You should probably let customers know before purchasing that fish fries arent covered by it. I wasnt able to pay for my fish fry because its supposedly a special, even though its on your regular menu. I wasted a 25$ certificate to pay for my girlfriends dinner that literally was $12. Will definitely come back but you need to let people know stipulations of your certificates more in detail on the website. Also found out that chicken parms and such are covered even though they arent on your regular menu.

We attended a live Jazz performance on Saturday April 30 2022. The atmosphere was nice. The music was great, and the menu and food disappointing.

I’m very disappointed with the owners. I was enjoying lunch in the building on Friday and watched the owners verbally accost a group of individuals playing Pokémon Go. The gentlemen were very respectful and abided to the owners wishes of getting “off their property” and walked to the opposite side of the road. The owners continued to harass the young men, the husband saying that they were losers and needed to “get a life and some women” and the wife kept screaming at them to get off their property even though the guys were on a sidewalk. The owners themselves were parked on the sidewalk next to the building, blocking it off from foot traffic (which is obviously illegal). Throughout the entire time they were being harassed the guys didn’t say anything, they just kept to themselves and ignored the couple, I can say with certainty that I wouldn’t have managed to be that polite. The owners upon returning inside continued to trash talk these guys like they were criminals and then proceeded to call the cops saying that the men were being vagrants and were engaging in threatening behavior. Overall an absolutely disgusting way to operate a business, discriminating against people who are minding their own business. I will not be returning nor will I ever recommend this place to anyone.

The food was burnt, it was a poor piece of fish. It look like something out of a frozen dinner! The staff was terrible! Both waitresses never evened offered us ketchup w/ our fries! We had to ask for it, but everything we asked for they forgot! I would of gave them 0 ☆, but no option for that!

I parked in this empty parking lot the night before to stay at a friends house who's parking lot was full, the next day on my way back to my car the owner of the property rushed out after me, knocked on my car window as I was starting my GPS and with a nasty attitude asked me where I was all day and night.. Asked her why that was any concern of hers, and very nastily said because this is her property and went off on how she should row me and said they're towing signs all around (there was not even 1). I just find it ironic that she was making a big deal about it because I was still the ONLY car in the parking lot for about 20.. Not like I was taking up space for paying customers.. If anything it my cars presence made this place look more lively than it actually was. Horrible attitude from the owner for no apparent reason. Was going to actually eat there tonight but not anymore

An older man and woman were very rude to myself and my friends for merely standing on the sidewalk. The man threw very unnecessary insults towards our group while the woman insisted the public sidewalk was her property and we needed to vacate it immediately. We were on the other side of the street from their restaurant, near the Players of Utica. Very unnecessary treatment and will never go there for food. 0/10 Do not recommend.
