Craylees - Utica (NY)

5 /5 Trent: We cannot say enough about what a positive dining experience this was. The food was excellent and obviously made fresh, reasonably priced and very generous portions. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would suggest arriving early due to limited seating.

5 /5 Lisa: Delicious breakfast on a Saturday morning in Utica. The steak was delicious- the greens, not the Utica greens we all know and love- the fried potatoes and eggs- yum! He got a sandwich and hash- good! The servers were so sweet!!

5 /5 Ozzie Huertas: Great place, great food, awesome service! A must if youre in the area.

4 /5 rj r: 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 its a busy place. Installing a double entry or a heated wind curtain fan on the door would be tremendous for overall heating/comfort.

5 /5 Jen Page: I love a good hometown restaurant where youre inclined to run into someone you know every time you visit. This was my first visit to Craylees and I dont know anyone in Utica, but I was still treated as though Im "one of them." Our server, who I believe is the owner, was friendly and conversational. I loved that I could stay on keto while eating at this place and told her that. She mentioned that her husband had also done keto and lost a lot of weight, so they understood the importance of having choices when you go out to eat. It was a snowy, crappy day in the midst of Covid, so the place wasnt as full as I expect it normally is. My husband and I enjoyed our visit, though, and will definitely be going back.
