Restaurants in Clifton Park

“If you're looking for a place in Clifton Park that never disappoints, this is it! We've dined here at least 15 times, and each visit has been just as fantastic as the last. From the moment we walk in, the service is always friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely top-notch. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a more leisurely meal, everything on the menu is prepared with care and attention to detail. It's rare to find a restaurant that consistently delivers such high-quality food, and this one nails it every single time. What I love most is the combination of a welcoming atmosphere and dishes that hit all the right notes—flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!”

“Food was amazing stopped for lunch 10 out of 10🔥🔥🔥🔥”

“The works and Nutty monkey bowl was the absolute best! When I say delish, that’s exactly what I mean. I 100% recommend any one of these as well as the place for many other reasons! Enjoy when you make it there.”

“Love this place!! The staff are always so kind and animated. They make the yummiest ice cream fresh in front of you. It is a bit on the expensive side, so just be prepared. Enjoy!”

“In a town of mostly chain restaurants this place is an oasis . Family owned & operated the food is consistently good .\n Last night chicken cutlet was thin , moist & delicious . Served with ample portion of potatoes & spinach . It’s enough for lunch today . My significant other enjoyed carpaccio & bolognese . Both I tasted & will be certain to order next visit . \n Service great and friendly .”

“Good food and friendly staff.”

“My sisters and I went there to try it out and we had an amazing experience! The staff was so friendly. Our food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!!! The owner even came over and said hello!”

“Cookies were delicious, but the employees were expressionless: did not acknowledge customers as they entered and were minimal with instruction when customers asked questions. You would think a cookie store would be full of smiles!”

“Last night I ordered a cheeseburger for my wife and chicken tikki masala for me. My wife's favorite burger is Burger King. She said the burger was very good and almost as good as Burger King. Her burger was much bigger from Kabob House so she only ate half. While she was enjoying her burger. I was totally enjoying my chicken tikki masala. i wanted to eat half but I kept mixing a little more of the red sauced chicken with the rice. It was so fresh and the spice was so good. I was so full yet wanted more. The only thing I could not understand was, how and why would people not buy a burger here instead of Burger King? It even came with fries. My wife said because it had no onions. Later that evening I heard half a cheeseburger calling me. I cut off a large bite and was amazed by the thickness of the burger. The meat quality was far superior to any fast food burger. I am declaring Kabab House the burger winner. The food here is excellent. What's not to like ? I think they need an interior decorator. The place needs new tables and chairs with a better layout. Brighten things up.”

“This is the only restaurant we would go back all the time . Nowadays it’s so hard to find good restaurants that cooks fresh food, this one is definitely the one you can eat without worry and its freshness”

“I have always had a wonderful experience when getting their ice cream whether by myself or with my children! I look forward to many years of making memories with my family eating delicious ice cream in a beautiful setting!”

“The best pizza I’ve ever had! I highly recommend Villa Pizza in Clifton Park!”

“This restaurant seems to be run by the next generation rather than the old school Asian restaurants. The staff is very upbeat and the food is delicious, not greasy like so many other restaurants. It's so tasty, I have to inquire if you are using MSG because everything is so tasty. Hopefully you not. Please address this question. Anyway... Delicious food!”

“Very delicious pizza, very good recommended to anyone.”

“This place always treats me good. I made it a bit of a tradition to come here once a week for a drink or two, specifically a Long Island Tea or mimosa, and the staff are awesome.
But tonight, I decided to get three drinks for a special occasion and one dude urged me to chug my third. I am neurodivergent and I am vulnerable to people egging me on in a way. My bartender, one of the ladies, told him off immediately, showing that they genuinely care about their customers, especially those that are neurodivergent. I am appreciative of that girl for standing up for me like that.
I also overheard that one of the ladies was expecting (Congraaaaaaats.). So next time I come round, if it's allowed, I may bring some baby items to help her out.
Overall, this is the best place in Clifton Park if you want to hang out in a place that cares about their customers.”

“An amazing place to eat. Came here for the first time and I will 100% be back. The food was flavorful and filling. The decor fills the space but is not overwhelming. The staff is friendly and responsive. 11/10 experience, looking forward to my next visit.”

“Food is so delicious and owner is very friendly”

“My husband myself and my mother went there tonight to celebrate my birthday August 24. We’ve never been there before and I just want to say that the service was fantastic! The food was fantastic! Our waiter really outdid herself and we will definitely go there again.”

“Great restaurant with a very open plan and a lot of windows, fashioned like a pavilion looking over the little pond in Clifton Park Commons.
Live music and despite the vaulted ceilings, wasn't a lot of cavernous echo.
The food is authentic and excellent. They seem understaffed, but this didn't affect the great job by the waitstaff!”

“We ordered two meals for take out . The absolutely best I have ever had ! Fresh vegetables , large portions . Definitely will be going back .”

“this is the best Chinese restaurant in Clifton Park. we had a Crab Rangoon appetizer, Crispy Shredded Beef and Sesame Chicken main dishes. Food arrived quickly by impeccable staff and was fresh, crispy and super tasty. we both left with portions to fuel another meal or late nite snack. highly recommend.”

“Literally the best. You can get your food in 10minutes or 1hr. They’re so chill. Our server was Euclides Aristides, he’s on point, always checking, cleaning, bussing tables and being a waiter. 10/10”

“It was a little louder than other times we have been here, that being due to a tour bus full of what I assumed was a basketball team, and another large party. Our waitress was quick, but she only checked on us twice, and never brought what we asked for. I had the never ending soup/salad, I only got the salad plates and my second dish of soup after another waitress stopped to check on us.”

“Great professional service by Delia. she was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. good food quality and large portions. I'll be back.”

“Had lunch & dinner dining in on the same day! While I was shopping &;getting my hair done. The Chicken Bacon Ranch slice was very tasty! Also the Breaded Zucchini Sticks were Excellent with Marina Sauce made there! The garlic knots are also a treat! Abdul was so kind to me, as I am disabled and use a walker. I will be back, the next time I am in Clifton Park.”

“Food is usually good. The prices are a bit on the higher end for what you get. But I've only had an issue with an order once and they fixed it right away and were super nice about it. I'll definitely be back.”

“If you want fine Italian food and wine, then Wheatfields is your place. With both indoor and outdoor dining the bistro has wonderful ambiance. The waite staff is professional, helpful, and friendly. There is ample parking.”

“Great beer, very good food and one of the best locations you can possibly imagine. We arrived around 7 pm, parking lot pretty full. Expected a crowd. There was not. There were a lot of people, but the grounds are set up for it. An indoor restaurant, and outdoor part, another outdoor bar set up like a sports bar with a guitar singer player (not to loud, which is important.) In between the restaurants is the outdoor bar is a winding garden area that has outdoor tables and winding paths with various seating areas. Remember, the place’s parking lot was full, big, and there were many places to sit and chill, drink a beer and wait for your table. After dinner we sat at another outdoor space and chilled and drank another beer. Never waited for a space to open up. And there were a ton of kids running around having a blast in a playing area.

This place is by far the greatest location to drink a beer. On par with Disney, without the crowds. Apparently there are several locations. Each one is different, Clifton Park is outstanding. I plan on visiting them all.”

“Very good food, and the atmosphere here is so cool I love it. I absolutely love seeing the giant turtles and wildlife in the pond. There’s this giant bird out there that hunts and eats pond fish every time I’m there. The ladies (have only seen lady bartenders/staff so far) are all nice here. Pizza and wings are well seasoned and flavorful. I like the sandwiches and salads I’ve had as well. They did have slow service at one point, around the pandemic... but the last several times I’ve been here, service was fast and food came out quick. I think they’ve improved a lot in that aspect.So good food, service, atmosphere, and genuinely nice staff = 5 stars for sure.”

“Western Ave location has employees smoking in outdoor eating areas. Way to ruin your Healthy food outlook My meal was ruined”

“Great local restaurant. Food and service always excellent! One of our favorite local restaurants. Good luck and continued success!!”

“Just picked up my first order and it will not be the last I ordered the cheesling balls(if I ordered these again it be without the cheese powder was a little too sweet) but the honey garlic chicken I got was fantastic the crunch is so satisfying the sauce is delicious wish I had more of it but delicious still the service was good too”

“We shared a bowl of Pho with sliced beef rib eye that was absolutely delicious. We also had an order of the crispy spring rolls that are garnished with fantastic pickled daikon radish & carrot sticks & fresh cucumber slices. I would love more of the pickled vegetable garnish! The whole meal was perfect. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely go back!”

“Stopped at nearby hotel on our way to Canada, did a search and up popped Klam'r.

Great location on the Mohawk river, nice green space across the street. Inside was what I'd describe as a joint, in the best sense.

Interesting decor, lively and popular at times. We were seated and then came the popcorn bowl and I'm thinking I don't want popcorn yet we ate it down anyway 😂

The steamed clams are definitely worth an order. The fish and chips was perfectly cooked. Not heavily breaded, not greasy, just perfectly cooked. Tender and delicious fish with food fries. The coleslaw had a sweetness to it from the pineapple, trust me it was good. My wife enjoyed the fish tacos.

Staff were friendly and service was good. We ate after the early dinner rush but finished before the party crowd got there.

It's a bit out of the way but you'll be happy you came here.”

“Fantastic, delicious and very fresh! They use the bare minimum rice in their sushi rolls which is perfection for someone like me who is watching their carbs. The freshest, best sushi in all of Saratoga County. We come from Saratoga Springs because it's better than any place else.”

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".”

“Wedding Cake !!! We ordered from the Clifton Park, NY location a two tiered cake with 14 dozen bundtinis for our wedding in October!!! They were amazing! The cakes & the staff there. They looked amazing displayed as much as their taste. All our guests loved them & thought how unique it was to have as our wedding cake. We cut the cake but fed each other bundtinis… yummy! Thank you so much for a delicious dessert for our beautiful wedding!! ❤️ Karen & Robert”

“Best place ever!!!!! Husband was going through it with an accident and still helped!! Such a loyal customer and LOVE their food please go!!! Defitily a FIVE STAR !!!!!!!”

“Everything I’ve had is wonderful”

“I still can't believe I get cured from breast cancer after 2yrs with the help of Dr MOMOH I must confess is a life restorer, Follow him and order for cure in any kind of disease.”

“We used Ted’s for our work picnic and what a hit it was. Jon arrived on time, set up quickly and everyone enjoyed the custom menu he set up for us! Top tier communication as well as service and of course food. We can’t wait to have Ted’s back next year!!”

“Went in on the fly and they offered to bring my 2 slices and soda to my room I'm staying in so I ordered a whole pie and 2 liter. Was well worth the wait!! Thank you for making great pizza!”

“Best drinks!!! Their old fashions are the best in the region!!”

“16 Handles in Clifton Park did such an amazing job for a graduation party that I had. They allow you to order as many varieties as you want. The great thing is it covers all kinds of dietary restrictions. Everyone was able to have it!!! It was such a big hit at the party and I can’t wait for the opportunity to use them again!!! I have been a fan from the start, when you receive such good customer service it just takes it to the next level!! Thank you for adding to the whole experience.”

“the gluten free pizza was AMAZING!! And the price was great!! Will definitely be going back!!!”

“Great pizza and wings, our go to in Clifton Park!! Highly recommend checking out Paulie's.”

“best pizza around definitely recommend trying”

“Such a great place to grab coffee and a delicious breakfast and/or lunch. The staff there is so friendly, even in the midst of being slammed busy every time I go in. Great job Clifton Park location!”

“5-Star Review:
I make it a point to visit Shing Fung House once a month, and it never fails to deliver an exceptional experience. The authentic flavors and generous portions truly “wok” my expectations every time, turning a simple meal into a delightful tradition. From the warm hospitality to the consistently outstanding Chinese classics, this place continues to shine. Highly recommended—five stars without reservation!”

“My experience was exceptional tonight in these days and times. When my order for Prime Rib was not cooked to order, they replaced it not only with the correct preferred doneness, but it was replaced in a timely manner and with a genuine desire to please me as a customer. Kudos to the manager that is in charge of the Prime Rib clientele - which is exceptional in the Clifton Park area. 👍”

“First time here and was impressed with the food. I highly recommend this Pizzaria. I am a local guide for Google. See my review on this establishment. Mama Mia, you'll go, eat and be satisfied.”

“everything was great service was great”

“The food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended”

“It’s some of the best Chinese food I have ever had in all honesty. Nothing I have had in the area can compare.”

“Waiter was excellent! Food & beverages were great. A place to certainly visit again.”

“I run a social group for adults with developmental disabilities. We went to the Cinco de Mayo Buffay at ponchos restaurant. The owner and staff there and over backwards to give us a good time. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was phenomenal.”

“Excellent smoothies & very affordable! Great for this heat!! The bowls are really good too!”

“Probably the best pizza in Clifton Park. Having lived in Long Island for many years, pizza was one item that was hard to replace. This place comes as close as any, and has a vast selection of slices available at all times.”

“Excellent place with fantastic staff. They really take care of you and have a strong sense of customer service. All of the beers I tried were excellent and the space is clean and well thought out. I know where I’ll be going from now on. Cheers!”

“Food is amazing! Also the employees are very nice! Thanks for all you do!!”

“Friendly service, good food!!”

“Yo Venezia is the best dam Pizza & Pasta Shop !! Highly recommend this Old school family oriented restaurant. Been coming here for years. Food & service is outstanding.”

“In 2021 I ordered 2 graduation cakes from J & S Watkins for my daughter. 1 cake for her graduation day dinner and 1 cake for her party which was a few weeks later. Both cakes were wonderful. Very tasty, moist, not dry and the frosting is to die for. I wish I could bake as well as this bakery. I will always order my cakes from J & S Watkins bakery as they are a family run business and they know how to bake. They are also very friendly and all of the staff who I interacted with were wonderful! They are the best!!!”

“Always friendly service, great options on the menu (they make custom changes), happy hour specials, and they have a great event schedule! Don’t forget to come in for your birthday- wings or clams or n the house!!! When we go for a birthday celebration we always get deer off the menu and get drink specials as well!!! I would suggest the Eggplant stack but ask for the Lisa Special- pesto instead of marinara!!! It’s absolutely to die for!!!”

“First time here and the workers were so kind and welcoming. The place was very clean, there are tons of great options to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back!”

“😗I ate here today for the first time. I had a delicious Gyro wrap! The service at the counter was exceptional, (and the waiter without hair, super cute!)”

“The hot off the Grill burger and Fries. been to other locations, never had the burger as hot as itcwas here. Other locations disappointing. Burgers just warm.”

“This is a really nice cafe at the mall. The atmosphere is nice, and they feature local authors. I can’t speak to the food, but their coffee is really good and reasonably priced.”

“I have been here a few times and the service is great! The food is great and everyone is very friendly!”

“One of the best pizzas I’ve had up here. We are from Long Island and so are they! They definitely know how a pizza should be made and cooked. Highly recommended. Give them a shot.”

“Great service and food! Friendly staff and great portions”

“Best beagles in the area IMO. I've tried all the others in the area just to compare, but Bruegger's is it for me.”

“Beautiful kind sweet woman, its hard on the soul not to leave a tip here, i always show up after getting my teeth checked because its right on the way, the halal options are so plentiful and it only takes around ten minutes, my whole family loves this place and we show up all the time, as always make sure to leave a small tip and bring some for the whole family!!!

(all this food was only $10.99 btw <3333)”

“I am a Door Dasher so I am in Jersey Mikes in Clifton Park a lot. I have to say, I have never once had to wait more than 1-2 minutes for my dash order. Everyone there is so pleasant and greets me as soon as I walk in the door no matter if they are busy or slow. There is this one girl there, I don't know her name, but she is always very polite and efficient. Also. Liam, the General Manager is great. I asked him his name because I was so impressed with his work ethic. He is courteous to all and it's obvious he knows his job inside and out. When I go to pick up a dash and I see he is working, it makes me happy just knowing my order is going to be correct and on time. You can just tell when someone likes their job, Liam is one of those people. I have also ordered lunch there and I have never been disappointed. Always fresh and delicious. Jersey Mikes in Clifton Park gets 5 stars from me, go check it out for yourself.”

“Best beagles in the area IMO. I've tried all the others in the area just to compare, but Bruegger's is it for me.”

“We both have to say that every serving of our dinners from soup, salad, the bread, meal and dessert was exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I ever had. Outside seasoned perfectly and grilled, the inside was soft as butter. Delicious!”

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".”

“Very delicious pizza, very good recommended to anyone.”

“The Best Italian Food Outside NYC maybe even better.”

“Had lunch & dinner dining in on the same day! While I was shopping &;getting my hair done. The Chicken Bacon Ranch slice was very tasty! Also the Breaded Zucchini Sticks were Excellent with Marina Sauce made there! The garlic knots are also a treat! Abdul was so kind to me, as I am disabled and use a walker.

“OMG what a gem of a place ! We had the new prime rib dinner special last night and could not be happier ! Excellent food, great service,nice atmosphere and a very fair price !! We WILL return.”

“In a word -- outstanding! I am so glad I went with Gracie's catering service. Everything about them is special, especially the food!! I had a 30+ attendee event and I got so many compliments. I gave Linda all the credit and passed around her number/website to all who asked. I am now a dedicated customer and will have them cater all future events!!”

“I eat there alot. they never disappoint me. food & service is always on point”

“Nice atmospheric”

“Fast food and friendly service.”

“The bartender ( Shelby) is extremely kind and very friendly. Its almost like having a good friend to chat with. She always greets you by name when you walk in. I would recommend anyone to visit her at the restaurant.”

“Impeccable fast and friendly service, everything was available even 30 minutes from closing time.
I've been to dozens of Chipotle and this one is in my top 2.👍”

“b and the rest of the team are awesome”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”

“I come here late at night (after 12am) since I don't get out of my own work until then some nights. This place used to be awful for years with anything late night. Not anymore. I can't speak to daytime as I don't come here. But for late night fast food they are spot on. I've been stopping here for over a year now, at least once every two weeks and have never had an issue. My order is made fresh (even though its the value meue section) and the people working actually act like they want to be there. Unlike the local TBell and McD's (McD's only open until 12am). They say thank you. That's huge. The orders are correct. They talk to you at the drive thru windows. They remember you. For fast food....its like being a regular in a restaurant. Which i can't say I've seen anywhere else. Keep doing what your doing after dark!!”

“My client wanted a happy meal and to play in the playplace. They had fun and food was fine. While I wish the play ground was bigger, he seemed very happy with it.
Pokemon go players, there's no longer a pokestop at this location, but after there are a few that are not far.”

“everything was great service was great”

“delicious chicken noodle soup..guy at the register was very helpful w my GC that I couldn't use on line”

“Been coming here for years! Often come with friends after my Zumba class at the YMCA! Best bagels around! Chicken salad can’t be beat! Cozy atmosphere and friendly vibe!”

“One of the many chick-fil-a’s that constantly meet or exceed my expectations. Line gets a bit slow around lunch but that is to be expected. Good spot after shopping!”

“We used Ted’s for our work picnic and what a hit it was. Jon arrived on time, set up quickly and everyone enjoyed the custom menu he set up for us! Top tier communication as well as service and of course food. We can’t wait to have Ted’s back next year!!”

“I like the Clifton Park Starbucks because it's fancier and luxurious and fully renovated and remodeled. I got a medium sized Hot Veranda Blend coffee with cream and pumpkin spice syrup in it. It was good and the coffee was delicious. I came here with Mr. Luke.”

“Awesome gluten free products. Coffee and lemonades are great!!”

“great prices huge pizza and insanely good wings”

“Was a bit of a wait since they made it fresh, but pretzel was great! It was later in the evening so I appreciated that they took the time to make me a fresh batch. The store was packed because of Cold Stone which it shares the store front with.”

“delicious, delicious, delicious! i love Wetzel pretzel it brings joy to my heart. Some may say it's even better than auntie anne's in the mall I would agree with them.”

“Guess everyone else just got unlucky?

Was a little hesitant to try this spot when I saw all the negative reviews, I mean, heavily in the one stars is not great. However, my experience was fine and dandy.

Ordered online using their website, going with a 10 piece Boneless Wings (garlic parm and hickory bbq), a side of the 5 piece Cajun Corn, and a Chicken Sandwich (sweet heat chamoy). All together coming to a little over $25, with is slightly better than the Buffalo Wild Wings just across the highway.

Looked like there was only one girl working there, possibly the manager? Luckily it wasn't too busy, in fact I was the only one there, but even still I could tell she was a little frazzled. I hate it when my coworkers flake on the job too. In either case, I got my meal and was on my way out.

Back home I dug into the bag, everything smelled great, and the flavor matched. Garlic Parm was a salty cheesy flavor that could have used a bit more garlic, the Hickory BBQ was nice and sweet with good smoke, the Chamoy sandwich has the heat for sure but a with soft slap of fire not a punch to the senses, and the corn, while hard to really eat due to the small size, was spiced nicely if perhaps a tad too salty.

Overall, an enjoyable experience.”
