I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Spaghetti Kettle, located at 7756 Route 5, Clinton, N.Y. 13323, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was impressively quick, striking a perfect balance between efficiency and attentiveness without being overwhelming. Our server, Jill, was exceptional and easily one of the best servers I’ve encountered. Her friendly demeanor and keen awareness of our needs made the dining experience seamless. Jill anticipated what we needed before we even realized it ourselves, and her preparedness when taking our orders was remarkable. We started our meal with the mozzarella sticks, which were nothing short of amazing. They were perfectly cooked with no greasy residue on the outside, just the right amount of breading, and plenty of gooey cheese inside. The accompanying marinara sauce was also very flavorful, complementing the mozzarella sticks perfectly. For the main course, I opted for the vodka riggies, and they were absolutely divine! The sauce was a creamy, well-seasoned white sauce that covered the rigatoni beautifully, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I honestly wished I could have had a second portion, they were that good! My dining companions tried the meatball soup and meatball riggies, both of which were exceptional. The meatballs tasted homemade and blended wonderfully with the rest of the ingredients, enhancing both the soup and the riggies with their rich, savory flavor. The ambiance of The Spaghetti Kettle adds to its charm. This quaint little place is impeccably maintained both inside and out, with cleanliness evident in every corner, right down to the bathrooms. The warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. In summary, The Spaghetti Kettle offers a delightful dining experience with its top-notch service, delicious food, and cozy ambiance. From the incredible mozzarella sticks and superb vodka riggies to the exceptional meatball dishes, every aspect of our meal was satisfying and memorable. The impeccable service, particularly from our server Jill, elevated our visit to another level. We will definitely be returning to this gem of a restaurant and recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal in Clinton, N.Y.

Shrimp cocktail was decent, but it didn't come with crackers or nearly enough sauce. Also the sauce had a tobasco flavor to it. My husband ordered a well done burger. It was clearly a pre made patty burnt to a charcoal. My spaghetti was good, but it was a large bowl of pasta with a tablespoon of sauce on it. Offering a salad or soup with the meal would have made it a more enjoyable experience. Both meals were very overpriced. The broccoli francaise was really good and the only dish with enough sauce, which I used for my shrimp and pasta. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't worth the price.

Pulling in the parking lot is very small. The inside was nicely decorated for Christmas. Our server she did really well kept drinks coming. The food was not so good unfortunately the greens were extremely watery and lacked flavor. The carbonara was very thick with a sweet creamy white sauce with red onions that tasted spoiled. The riggies made with maranera sauce should not be allowed. It was not riggies no flavor or spice. We will not be coming back unfortunately.

My daighter loved the lasagna..amd tge spouse loved the chicken parm (she preferred less sauce) the hats and broc in garlic and oil.. really needed garlic..and maybe shredded broc instead of full chunks.. Svs was amazing

I went to the spaghetti kettle for the first time today after driving by it for decades. It will be my first and only time. It's small, extremely small. It's dated. Not really an issue, but I had envisioned a much different interior. The food just 'okay' and pretty expensive for the quality of what you get. There is no kids menu. The only reason it's not 1 star is because of the service. The service was fantastic, but at the end of the day, it's a restaurant and food quality is most important.

I got the chicken riggies and it was watery sauce and bland with mushy noodles. No heavy cream it but i think they charge you an extra $1.50 to plash some in there. not alot of chicken to speek of eather. I got them mild but the spice was like it was hot sauce.The staff was friendly and it was really nice inside. $20 meal and it came with some garlic bread.

Food was good but everything we touched was sticky. From the table,chairs, salt and pepper, etc. Floor was dirty. We will not return.

So i just had dinner here my family 3/23/2025. So one thing i wouldn't call this the spaghetti kettle they didn't even have regular spaghetti sauce, only marinara sauce so right there doesn't taste great at all. If you buy riggies you have to make sure its with chicken when you get it with volka sauce or they will make it a different way and taste horrible without chicken. Usually chicken riggies is with chicken no matter what sauce but even the waitress didn't know it wasn't. Only thing my husband could eat was the salmon he ordered. But that even made him sick. There really much of a option to order anything. My hamburger you can tell was not homemade was a frozen hamburger they got probably got from tops or walmart, no taste at all. I couldn't even finish it. Fries, bread, and moz sticks were the only good things that taste good with everything we ordered. kids barely touched there food as well.. Definitely will not be coming back here. Not worth the money at all, food not great. wish could get money back. If it was real spaghetti sauce, for spaghetti it may have tasted a little better. Waitress was very nice though. She did a good job!

The server was phenomenal! The atmosphere amazing. The food? Not so much. The pasta was great. The sauce was 'Da Bomb' but my seafood was way overcooked, dry and without any flavor. The 🍞 provided was stale and hard. I've had Betts fast food. But we will give it another try on another day. Oh, hubby said the meatball was amazing. The class casino was also absolutely amazing

Absolutely horrible food for the cost. Service was decent and nice place. But my god, hire a cook.
