Tiny's Grill — Restaurant in City of Utica

I’m very disappointed with the owners. I was enjoying lunch in the building on Friday and watched the owners verbally accost a group of individuals playing Pokémon Go. The gentlemen were very respectful and abided to the owners wishes of getting “off their property” and walked to the opposite side of the road. The owners continued to harass the young men, the husband saying that they were losers and needed to “get a life and some women” and the wife kept screaming at them to get off their property even though the guys were on a sidewalk. The owners themselves were parked on the sidewalk next to the building, blocking it off from foot traffic (which is obviously illegal). Throughout the entire time they were being harassed the guys didn’t say anything, they just kept to themselves and ignored the couple, I can say with certainty that I wouldn’t have managed to be that polite. The owners upon returning inside continued to trash talk these guys like they were criminals and then proceeded to call the cops saying that the men were being vagrants and were engaging in threatening behavior. Overall an absolutely disgusting way to operate a business, discriminating against people who are minding their own business. I will not be returning nor will I ever recommend this...

I parked in this empty parking lot the night before to stay at a friends house who's parking lot was full, the next day on my way back to my car the owner of the property rushed out after me, knocked on my car window as I was starting my GPS and with a nasty attitude asked me where I was all day and night.. Asked her why that was any concern of hers, and very nastily said because this is her property and went off on how she should row me and said they're towing signs all around (there was not even 1). I just find it ironic that she was making a big deal about it because I was still the ONLY car in the parking lot for about 20.. Not like I was taking up space for paying customers.. If anything it my cars presence made this place look more lively than it actually was. Horrible attitude from the owner for no apparent reason. Was going to actually eat there tonight...

I haven't been in Utica in years and it was so refreshing and wonderfully heartwarming to return to Tiny's for lunch. As usual, the food was phenomenal and the service divine. Jo's smile and meticulous concern just brightened the mood. My son, who had never been there before, said the robust green salad he had with grilled chicken was the best he had ever eaten. My spaghetti and meatballs reminded me of what incredibly luscious delicacies I have been missing with my move out of the area. Always nice to come home. And reassuring to know that Tiny's and Jo Gerace are still on the menu. Sincerely, Mike from...
