uticabbq - Utica (NY)

5 /5 Racheal Bumbolo: Decided to give this a try today & I’m so glad we did! Everything was delicious! They apologized for having a limited menu as they had just opened after having a water main break, it honestly was an incredible meal. We decided to go family style and enjoyed everything that was brought out in 6-course style plate after plate. The roasted shishitos with pork belly dust was an amazing start. The stuffed poblano with pulled pork jalapeño cream cheese (I think) wrapped in bacon and UC beer cheese, excellent!! We also had the street corn, Korean bbq ribs, pulled pork mac and cheese, and ended with churros. Each dish was a creative take on traditional bbq! I would definitely recommend checking it out. Thank you Utica BBQ for a wonderful meal :)

5 /5 Don Trombley: Food was delicious and the chef loves what he does. This isnt typical bbq, this is a chefs interpretation of of bbq and its well executed. We tried a sampler menu of shishito peppers, sticky ribs, wings, rib tip tacos, street corn, cornbread, and its bananas dessert. Everything was well executed and the cooking method and ingredients were all explained with each plate. The meats were all delicious, the blue cheese with wings homemade, and the street corn was out of this world delicious. Try this place out if you can.

5 /5 Rena Hughes: We had the most amazing experience at Utica BBQ! Chef Chance delighted us with a tasting menu of his choosing, and every dish was as delicious as the last. Cornbread, ribs, pulled pork sliders, wings, mac and cheese, chicken & potatoes, stuffed poblano, and an incredible banana pudding topped with his homemade caramel sauce, marshmallow whipped cream, caramel corn, & edible gold flakes!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 /5 Dan Geier: Utica BBQ is absolutely fantastic! The food was excellent, flavorful, and offered a great variety. What really stood out, though, was the service. The owner is incredibly friendly and went out of his way to adjust the sample platter for my dad, who is vegetarian. He kept checking in with us kindly to make sure we had everything we needed. That personal touch made the whole experience feel extra special. Highly recommend this place — both for the food and the wonderful hospitality!
