Lodi Tap House - Utica

I’ve been here before and I’ve felt a bit pricey for bar food but always get good service and really good food. Tonight I got the grilled cheese and changed my side to a bowl of chili. It took forever, and when it came out they announced they were out of chili and had reverted back to the fries. I might have lived with that but it was stone cold. So disappointing. One beer, a cold cheese sandwich, and cold fries. $23 as I did put a tip on for the lady that was working and was busy with a full bar.

We have been wanting to try this place out since it opened. What a mistake, we were the only people in the restaurant. There was a dirty feel to the restaurant kind of hard to explain.We placed our order since we could tell it would be slow. About 20 minutes pass, and we hear the bell finally ring. The next thing we see is the food headed back to the kitchen. See double bill below) We get the mushrooms we ordered, or more like grease pods with breading, I mean dripping with grease. We finally get our meals, a $14.00 veggie burger terrible garden burger expecting at least an impossible burger or pub-style veggie burger) and Chix wrap. The only plus I will give them is the fries were good.Halfway through the meal, the wife bites down on something hard in the wrap and chips a veneer. Not sure if it was an overcooked piece of bacon or something else?The bill arrives, a total of $80 bucks? Something isn't right. We ordered no beer and only two meals $14.00, $11.00, app $11.00, and drinks). They double-charged us for the apps and had a veggie wrap on the bill that we didn't order. Now we know why our food went back). I wonder how many others have had this happen and didn't notice a double bill during a busy night. Honestly, I have no clue how they can even service a packed house when they can barely serve two people out of the nine that were in the place by the time we left.Overall, it was just not at all a good experience. We will never be back, which is sad as we like to support local businesses in Utica as much as possible.Vegetarian options: Garden Burger very disappointing avoid and get the veggie wrap.

We recently had dinner here on the outside patio on a weeknight. The patio setting was delightful , unfortunately the food and service did not measure up. Even though it did not appear busy, it took almost 20 minutes for the waitress to get our order. We ordered cheese curds as appetizer, however, they came out with the meal which took almost an hour to arrive. The cheese curds were tasty, however, our meals were lukewarm at best and missing some ingredients. When we asked the waitress about it she said they had run out of some things. Wish we had been told this in advance as we would have changed our side orders. The waitress did comp out one of our items due to the issues which was appreciated. Have eaten here before and the service was top notch and food great. This experience was completely the opposite. May give it another try but it won't be anytime soon.

Stopped in after our hike , had deviled eggs, beer battered mushrooms as appetizer, then had the house smash burger with fries delicious! Try them out .Parking: Parking across the street .

The beer selection is fantastic, and the house drafts were delicious. Our group consisted of four adults and two small children, and everyone enjoyed their meals. However, the wait time was quite lengthy—over 45 minutes—which stood out since the restaurant wasn't very busy.
