What User likes about Golden's:
I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant! The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is even better. It feels like the closest thing to Cheers that you'll find in Utica. The staff are definitely the best in Utica and the vegan options are a highlight of my week! View all feedback.
