Kitlas Restaurant - (Near Frankfort, NY)

5 /5 Nancy Baker: Great place for homestyle meals. Husband got the Fishermans meal included chowder, fries, slaw, and mac n cheese. Everything on the plate was top notch. I ordered the parmesan crushed chicken. Chicken, pasta, cheese, red peppers, broccoli and included a a salad! Fresh Italian bread and butter too! Service was fast and friendly.

3 /5 Edward Smith: Fish frys, Overall, it was ok. The fish was good. The Mac and Chese was different, really sharp cheese taste (I personally didnt like it, and i love mac and cheese)! The coleslaw was ok, very average. Unfortunately, the fries were cold and soaked with old grease taste. This happens when the fries sit around in the kitchen for a long period of time and get cold. They take on this real greasey taste and texture. Overall we probably wont go back there for a fish fry, but maybe try some other food. Well see!

5 /5 Dr. Sheridan Mish: Easy to get to from Downtown Utica just quick drive down NYS Route 5S. The Kitlas has been open since 1939 and it’s a third generation business and Tom the owner being very personable also an outstanding chef. They have all the original furnishings in great condition and adds to the warm ambiance. The music selection spans many decades and was one of the best I’ve heard at a restaurant. I love seeing history through the pictures on the walls. Excellent value that you hardly see anymore in the restaurant industry. The food and drinks were amazing! The total with tax was $110 and included four cocktails, two appetizers, two entrees, and one dessert. The service was outstanding. Our waitress Christina was outgoing, making us feel very welcome, and made recommendations for the cocktails and made them herself, and shared stories about the history of the business. The menu has a variety of items that range from American to Polish to Italian to Greek. The onion rings are awesome, fresh cut onions, breaded in house battter coming with a homemade honey mustard chipotle dip. Flatbread with broccoli and mozzarella is a solid item. The chicken soup was like mom used to make. The riggies came with a thick sauce and had chicken and sausage. The dessert is also homemade and a great treat! This it the type of business that should be supported often by locals for lunch and dinner.

5 /5 Erik Kroll: Some really great food, and really good customer service. Customer service: Everyone is really friendly there. The staff were prompt and very easy to get along with. Environment: It is really neat in there! They have old photos of what Utica used to look like. Adds a really nice touch to the place. Food: Now onto the important stuff. We went with friends, but it was my wifes and my first time there, and we each tried a bite of everything that everyone ordered. To start, we got the onion strings. Our main dishes were the ribs, lemon horseradish haddock, potato crusted chicken parm, and the vodka chicken riggies. Usually onion strings tend to be too oily, or too salty. These were not, they were great. They were crisp and had the right amount of seasoning. The BBQ sauce on the ribs was probably the best BBQ sauce Ive had. They make it in house, and I swear theres some apple flavor in there. Whatever it is, its delicious. The meat falls right off the bones to on the ribs, they were so tender. The haddock was delicious. I dont like horseradish, but I couldnt really taste it. It was cooked really well, and the crust on there was delicious. The chicken parm is crusted in a potato crust. Its different, but it was really good! I really enjoyed the crust on the chicken, and the overall dude was great. The chicken riggies had this vodka sauce on there that was really flavorful and tasty. I loved it. Comes with really good ratio of meat and veggies with the noodles. Overall, the food there was really, really good and we enjoyed our time there a lot. If I didnt love it of state, wed be going back again for sure!
