Catering Service in Central New York!

"My husband and I got married at Knotting Hill Farm and we had the Brass Tack cater our wedding in June. The owner, Victor, is amazing to work with. He provided amazing, high quality food that was consistent to the food at our tasting. He was extremely kind and provided great catering services. All of our food was better than expected and our cocktail hour food had so many options - it felt like we had received more food than what we paid for. The buffet style meal had plenty to go around and we had leftovers for the after party. I would highly recommend the Brass Tack to any couples who are looking for catering services in the Utica NY area." Hannah S.

Best Fish Fry in the Valley

“Their fish fry is the best in the Valley! Service is fast and reliable. I’ve eaten in at the Brass Tack a multitude of times and have never been disappointed. They always provide service with a smile. This is the first I’ve dashed from Brass Track and it’s just as excellent. The continuity in service left me speechless.”

Chicken Riggies

“Stopped in for dinner on last year. I had the Chicken Riggies (hot). They had great flavor, and the portion was huge. I saw what my family ordered. All their food looked fantastic, and they had plenty of it. I would go back sure. Saw some of the fish fry meals that other tables had, and would try that next time. Update: 5-12-24…Stopped in for the Mother’s Day buffet. They had a very nice spread. The eggplant parm was very good. Everything was delicious. And it was fairly priced.”

5-Star Service

“The Brass Tack is always a terrific destination for a great meal. We enjoyed Fried Haddock dinners on a recent Saturday, accompanied by fresh baked bread (warm out of the oven!) and a choice of two sides – rice and side salads, though others are available. The haddock was delicious, nicely flaky and generously sized. Cozy ambiance and attentive 5-star service from staff and the owners added to a great experience. Bravo!”
