Lamb Over Rice Platter
A local favorite. Our seasoned, perfectly grilled lamb served over a bed of fluffy rice with our creamy white sauce. A flavorful and hearty meal, any time of day.
Simply the Best Burger in Utica.

Our freshly ground Angus beef patty, grilled and "smashed" for a perfect sear. Topped with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, and our special sauce on a toasted brioche bun. It’s a simple burger, done exceptionally well.
