Babe's Macaroni Grill & Bar

Babes is a top notch restaurant with the best Utica greens and chicken riggies in town. The service here is always amazing and the staff is super friendly and all seem happy to be working here. They are very involved in the community and I always see hockey players and other sports players from the college here. I always have a great experience here and love the food

This place saved my ass the night I pulled into Utica at around 11 and the only place open that wasn't fast food is Babe's. It add issues to my eating situation, I have a severe gluten allergy and Babe's happened to have a gluten-free menu. Saved my ass totally! I had the gluten free buffalo chicken salad. It was no frills but the dressing was good and the greens were fresh. I cant say anything horrible about the place. The server was nice and it was a generally good experience.

I went into Babe's around midnight on a Saturday night with a few friends. I asked for drink menus. I was told by the unhappy acting bartender that they had no drink menus.
At this point we all ordered various types of drinks and sat down. We tried ordering food and were told the grill was already off.
About half way through our first drink the bartender came over and said we can order one more drink only because they were closing early tonight.
It was a Saturday night and we were in Utica NY at a bar that was closing before 1 am. I don't get it.
