“Absolutely, hands down one of the best spots I have ever been to! The duck was soooo tender and full of flavor! The apple and cranberry with it made the dish an explosion of flavor. I am completely impressed with the whole experience here. 100% recommended and will be back.“
“Just tried this place out for the first time this morning and it is fantastic. It’s awesome having a quality breakfast spot like this in Center Square - the food is delicious and my breakfast sandwich was easily a 5/5. Keep doing what you’re doing, we’ll definitely be back!“
“Stopped by on a trip to RPI. Happy I did!Birria quesadilla was absolutely amazing. So delicious and the meat was tender to the point of melting in my mouth like butter.I also grabbed a few chicken tacos. Likewise fantastic.Food took a while to come out, but it was piping hot and fresh. Sauces brought out were icing on the proverbial cake.The only problem I have is that I don’t live nearby! I’d be a frequent customer!“
“Fatty’s recently prepared a selection of pizzas, wings and appetizers for a substantial SuperBowl party. The selection of pizzas, wings and appetizers were a huge hit! I certainly plan on calling them to cater my next event.I would highly recommend Fatty’s to anyone who is looking to cater an event or just enjoy a truly top notch pizza.“
“The HYPE IS REAL!! These tacos are phenomenal! Fresh and flavorful ingredients, I had the jerk chicken and beef tacos with the sweet and spicy sauce they make in house and it’s AMAZING! 100% I’ll be eating from this place again in the near future, service was top notch “
“Brand new to Albany. Found this gem. We were welcomed warmly and felt instantly at home. Home-made everything; even the noodles in the chicken soup! Do yourself a favor if you love Turkey wraps that taste like the holidays- order the Rock. How lucky for Locals to have this place.“
“The stir fry bowl was delicious and would recommend.However when ordering 2 orders of the wings there were supposed to be 5.They served both orders with 3.Why short me out? What was the reason? I would advise customers to check your receipts upon receiving your food and comparing to make sure that you are getting ALL of your food and not what they want to give you.The restaurante is clean and the girl serving was pleasant.However the cooks knew exactly what they were doing when shorting me of wings.If I'm going to pay you $80 then I expect all of my food and not shorted.Check your receipts and food eveyone when ordering.“
“Moved here from NYC and have finally found good pizza and real Italian food. The pizza has a delicious crust, not crispy enough, but properly proofed and the right amount of gluten. The sauce flavor is spot on. It is excellent pizza. The house salad is huge, fresh and has a nice mix of lettuces. We had the red pepper pesto and the pesto over linguini. The pasta is made fresh in-house, and they know how to make good sauces. The hangover cake is fantastic, it's a booze soaked pound cake and it it the perfect way to end a great meal. There is very limited seating, so call ahead to reserve a table. It reminds me of the places I grew up with in NYC.“
“The vibe, space, fireplace and waterfall sound added up to an amazing relaxing place to have your second cup of coffee. My future cafe would totally have their vibe.I bet the owner loves ferns as there are like 10 hanging on the wall and maybe a plant hugger. I love the handmade table and rustic ambiance.Service is fast and not crowded on a cold winter morning. Cappuccino is well made with beautiful leave and down it like water. Perfect for my addict wife.I haven’t tried the food but from the way they made coffee, I bet they are out of this world too.“
“The rice plate is amazing! The felafel is some of the best I’ve ever had, really tender, moist but not dense, perfectly seasoned. Same for the chicken: tender, moist, & sensationally seasoned. Everything on the plate is sensational, and works together beautifully. I can’t get over how delicious this is. I grew up eating middle eastern food, have been to many upscale middle eastern restaurants and family kitchens, and this meal blew me away.“
“Super Sbarro! Staff is laid back, like to talk and straight-up oven bakes and knocks out flavorful pizza, dough, salads, calzones, desserts, drinks, garlic knots. A meal (calzone, drink, 1 side) runs you $13. That's a steal considering when you go out to eat these days your entree has shrunk %65 and on top of that you're forced to subsidize wait staff's 'bizarro' life choices + college tuition!NOT AT SBARRO! Some days they have free samples. My calzone was a total success. Food establishments in 2023 are shrinking sizes, leaving out ingredients, serving expired foods and over-shelved beer nobody wants. Without me.I'm coming back to Sbarro in Colonie again this weekend: great deals, flavor-punches and delightful service by tough-as-nails New York pizzaiolos!Rebel review: 5++“
“Well, they are two for two with our visits and review of 5 Stars! Our waitress, Samantha was our server again. As pleasant and on top of service as before. I went with the pastrami Reuben and my wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. The bread/toasted just crisp, the meat(s) were on the nicely rare side. The sides, steak fries and macaroni salad were excellent!! Real Heinz ketchup, a must with fries! Beverages were on tap. Only slight issue were the nacho and salsa appetizer, chips are just so so and salsa the same. Would not order again. Ambiance was great (big screen TV) and warm decor. Looking forward to another trip soon. Thanks again, love all the locals at the bar too!!“

“Stopped by Three Pastas today, and went with the homemade fettuccine with carbonara and added chicken. It was incredibly good quality for the price (or any price) - everything was fresh and tasted delicious. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!“
“I really loved this place, it was so tasty! Had to get an additional chicken skewers for my chicken combination the second time I ordered since the white meat chicken was so so tender. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous but they were only doing takeout when I visited.“
“The Cook And the Counter Guy was very nice and the service was excellent And the food was amazing I bought the chicken wings and Fries everything was perfect and I will be going there from now on the food was made fresh it wasn’t sitting under a heating lamp like other places’ Great place to eat ??“
“First, the good... The raspberry oatmeal pancakes might be the best stack of pancakes I have ever eaten. Incredible!Now, the not so good. Wait times on Sunday morning are over 40 minutes and because of the crowds the service is (was) subpar. Got my order wrong, no coffee refills, etc. So, plan ahead, prepare to wait and do not expect service that matches the food.“
“I have gone here twice now for lunch. First time I got chicken bacon ranch pizza with garlic knots and the second time was the same but I got a beef patty instead of garlic knots. Everything has tasted amazing and the staff is friendly. My favorite place to go to lunch on my breaks.“
“Went for lunch and everything was amazing! Can’t wait to go back! Loved all of decor and theme of the restaurant. Our server Amy was so friendly, so kind, and knowledgable about the menu. I wish I took pictures of our boils, they were so delish. Cooked perfect, hot, and great flavor!!!“
“Came back for the first time in a couple years and was very pleasantly surprised at how good our meal was. Food was outstanding, service was fantastic, and everything moved along smoothlyVegetarian options: Limited but very good vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Space is tight but atmosphere is accommodating to kidsWheelchair accessibility: Parking, entry, and seating not very accessible“

“The takeout order that I ordered today consisted of a large bowl of clam chowder and a mixed salad with tuna. It was surprising how much tuna was in the salad bowl. I could possibly share it with two people or for two days easily by myself. The clam chowder was very flavorful and thick and was delicious. The order was right on time for pick up. Well done, Lyle!“
“Best. Favorite. Restaurant. Ever. Anytime we make a trip to Albany we go to Lanie's. Their drinks don't compete with anywhere else and don't get me STARTED on their food. Their coconut shrimp is the best hands down and their sauce for it is rich with coconut and pineapple chunks. If you're ever in the area - it's a MUST go. It does get busy and they don't take reservations, but do have a waitlist. Service is great, never had a bad experience here.“
“I was Surprisingly, please to have arrived at city line cafe. The vibe was definitely farmed to the table, and the atmosphere was very comforting. It's a great local mom and pop shop. And I couldn't be more happy with the food it was so fresh, made right there in front of me. I'm very fast as well. The 2 workers were very pleasant and nice. 100% a must stop Morning breakfast place.“
“We rented the upstairs dining room for my partner's birthday - 20 people. Maeve was great helping plan (and putting up with our shifting guest list and dietary needs), Chef Jake put together an excellent tasting menu and executed it so well. Service was great, the space was perfect for the party...the night could not have gone better!“
“Justin was extremely pleasant and friendly while taking our orders. He was super speedy and efficient and gave a very positive experience. Katie was extremely kind as well and was super helpful. The bowls are always delicious and made well!“
“This place has all sorts of delicious food options. We generally get takeout pizza but the salads and sandwiches are also delicious. The place has a local and friendly vibe and is always full of happy people. Highly recommended!Parking: On busy nights, it's hard to find a spot.“
“Stopped in for lunch and was very impressed. The lunch menu was a good deal, I got the stir fry with shrimp and it was delicious, perfect portion too. The service I received was very friendly and accommodating, and I really liked the ambiance. It's in an A frame building with a cute bar and separate dining area. Lunch specials a plenty, drink specials, daily specials...I love a place that offers a value and doesn't skimp on the details.“
“As an Albany resident, I take no pleasure in giving such a good review to a restaurant outside of Albany. But good pizza is good pizza. It is what it is.This establishment understands the art of the sauce ratio. So many times you have a pizza and they barely put any sauce. It is the blend of the sweetness of sauce and sharpness of the cheese that makes the pizza.I will have to give up another one of my subscriptions, because I have to work Cugino’s into my budget.I was told the owner also ran PJs pizza, which was in Albany. it is a very short drive over the bridge from where we live so this is my spot moving forward.“
“Forts Ferry Farm (FFF) is hard to define. It changes from season to season and as a farm, that seems befitting. For Fun Foods, now shuttered, used to offer prepared and frozen foods on site. There was also a selection of produce from the farm and pantry items like extra virgin olive oil sold in their store. Issues with the town of Colonie put an end to that venture. Not to worry, FFF, has a presence at both the Delmar and Troy Farmers' Markets for retail. They also have farmers' market pop ups at the farm on occasion. They seem to have a burgeoning wholesale market with several restaurants in the area. The wholesale market is open to everyone using the fortsferryfarmwholesale.… website. I believe they have plans to open a retail store in Hudson. I once emailed a question through their website about mycology (watching too much The Last of Us) and one of the owners, Emma Hearst, replied almost immediately to my question. Both she and her husband, John Barker, are chefs. I believe their restaurant's name in NYC was Sorella. They moved back upstate to grow food and share it with their community, both fellow chefs and consumers. The produce grown on the farm is top notch. I remember eating different heirloom tomatoes from the farm. It was simply cut, drizzled with a little olive oil, and sprinkled with a pinch of salt. The taste of those tomatoes defines summer. Another discover for me was honeynut squash. It has a thinner skin which is edible and the flesh seems much sweeter than butternut squash. The salad mixes are generous and bagged for convenience. The ginger they're growing seems to be a different varietal. They offer the tried and true classics but also venture out to offer different options to their patrons. The brand of Forts Ferry Farm is managed very well. They have both designers and farmers on staff. Check out the photos created by the staff on this site, they're gorgeous. I believe their cookbook will also be out for sale soon. Whatever Forts Ferry Farm grows into, I'm sure it will be innovative yet also founded on cultivating "goodness".By the way, if you ever have the opportunity to get one of their salted chocolate chip cookies, do not hesitate. Honestly, it's probably the best I've ever had.“

“For me whenever I visit the US, Olive Garden is a must. The food is consistently good, prices are right, and the service is top-notch. However, this particular location made a lasting impression. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed. Also, my waiter Moe was a really nice and friendly guy and made sure everything was perfect.“
“Just had lunch but I have eaten a lot of Thai food, including in Bangkok and the food I had here was delicious. Note that they accurately matched the heat level unlike other places where you ask for medium and there’s not spice at all (Thai food should be a little spicy at least in my opinion) - I’d highly recommend this place if you want tasty Thai food“
“It is a short menu, but what the have is generally good. In the fork and knife part of the menu, when they say small, they mean it. I got the chicken breast, then ordered the flatbread because the small was, in fact, small. It was, however, very good and perfectly spiced.Wheelchair accessibility: They have low tables that are usable in wheelchairs“
“I love their açaí bowls— the best in Troy / Latham. But it takes an absurd amount of time to get your order *every time* … I even order on Mealeo ahead of time and still, I’m told a 10 minute wait when I arrive. It’s super frustrating. Otherwise, I would order it all the time! They use great granola and ingredients and it’s a good size for the cost.“
“The food was great as always. I've only ever been to the one in Albany Airport and one in a mall in Baltimore so, We had never used the drive thru before. I didn't expect for the worker to come outside to the car to collect payment and deliver the food. I also noticed there are fans and heaters in the drive thru... that's pretty cool. We'll definitely be back when we are in that area. I'd say make one closer but schdy will just ruin it.“
“Quite a unique pizza option in Clifton Park. Great prices and very customizable. This is the only place in the region that I've found that I can order vegan cheese -- a great option for lactose intolerant folks. Lots of options with great ingredients. I loved the roasted garlic cloves and roasted peppers. The roasted ingredients were actually roasted (unlike other places in the area which will serve crisp raw peppers when you order roasted).“
“I’ve been ordering from Inferno for a couple years since I moved to Troy and I’ve always had good experiences! I really love how they give their stuff a little homemade touch. I mentioned it was my birthday and asked for a cat on my box and they came through! Totally made my night “
“Every time I come in, I am always greeted with the biggest smile from Megan and Kayla. I never know what to order, and they are always very informative and helpful on the items they offer. I always order what they tell/recommend to me and it is beyond delicious. I look forward to seeing them when I come back , and trying something new. Their energy is always so welcoming , and I have never had an issue with them. These ladies are the best!“
“Stopped here to catch a quick bit e to eat as I didn't have time to sit and glad I took the chance had an Italian sub and the young lady behind the counter was super fast and had my sub name in seconds bagged and ready to go I was out the door in 2 minutes. The sub was delicious and perfect amount of meat bread was fresh as well as toppings. Great find!“
“I'm giving a somewhat grudging 4 stars tonight. Great pizza, frustrating service.Waited outside for 25 minutes for the order to show as ready but it never did, so if you pick up just go inside and ask about it. The pizza itself was wonderful once I heated it back up.“
