“Stopping through on a road trip - The burgers are amazing! I got a Bilbo-Q and my partner got the Orc Popper. We got a French toast “milk”shake (non dairy!) that was also out of this world! Love the atmosphere and wish we had a place like this near us.“
“Best donuts I’ve ever had! It’s a must to try them fresh in the morning! My favorite is the G.F.Y. Breakfast sammy. I get it with the gluten free bun which is delicious as well!If you are vegan, and especially if you’re gluten free too, you won’t be disappointed!“
“We love this spot but hadn't been in a while. We met some friends there this past Saturday. Cocktails were great - imaginative and delicious. We shared two apps - mussels and potatoes (recommended by our server). The potatoes were delicious and the mussels were super tender and served in a unique way. Two of us had the scallop entree, one had the pasta, and one was hankering for a burger. All were fantastic - I had the scallops and I think they were the best scallops I've ever had. Hope to get back soon!“
“The food I received was good, BUT it wasn't what I ordered. No bacon on my turkey bacon wrap, no ranch dressing as requested. The staff brought out both after I received it, and I had to unwrap my wrap to put it in. Again, the food was good, the waitress was very nice and accommodating, it wasn't her fault.“
“Located inside Colonie Mall, the smell was so good hubby and I had to try them. The cheeseburgers were very good and fries were just right. Loved the selection machine for the drinks. The employees were friendly.Vegetarian options: Other than the fries, all I saw vegan/vegetarian was a veggie sandwich. No idea if the bread would have been vegan. I do not know if they offer milk substitute s for the milkshakes.“
“Our waitress was really amazing. Bummed that I didn't get her name to shout her out. Came here with a party of 11 and was seated immediately. The monkey bread was my favorite. The wings were decent. Food portion sizes were HUGE. Lively crowd but not too noisey. Enjoyed my time“
“This is a great old school diner. Cash only (they do not have an ATM) and no wi-fi. Because if what you need is a Western omelet (fantastic) with potatoes and coffee, you don't need a credit card or the internet. There's counter seating and a few tables (seating 2-4 each). Very reasonable prices. Friendly and attentive wait staff. It's like 1964 in all the best ways.“
“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.“
“This place is one of the top burger stops in the Capital District. Kid friendly, clean, excellent gourmet burgers, fries, onion strings, shakes and ample interesting sauces. Take out is fast. Family from out of town always want to go back. Why? It is solid! Please support this business!Kid-friendliness: Kids absolutely rave about this place. Who doesn’t love shareable fries? Sweet potato and regular and sometimes onion strings!“
“First visit ever here, six of us went to Scarboroughs on a Monday night in January 2024 for a double birthday celebration in (day of my son's 26th, & my wife's 60th the next day). We immediately loved the restaurant and vibe, very nice setting, good music in the background (note about that below), and surprisingly a nice small crowd for a Monday. We had a round of really nice cocktails (Martinis, Manhattans, Wine, & Craft Beer) and had an outstanding Waitress (Katelyn, I think?) who was pretty cool, engaging and fun & attentive without overdoing it.The menu had a good variety of choices, pretty extensive and fun, definitely plenty of choices for everyone. We split a few Apps (notable! the Hot Honey Chicken Fries, very different kind of App & not to miss). Then, each dinner was excellent, picture perfect & beautifully presented: a Pepper Jack Bacon Chicken, my Rosemary Chicken Gardeniere, a Pesto Ravioli, a Ravioli Mare (rich with seafood!), and two had a Sausage & Peppers Bruschetta. Everyone just loved their dinners, a rare thing for a med-large group.I felt a bit of pressure on myself to choose a good restaurant for the birthday people & the whole group six (ages 20 - 83), and I chose this restaurant based on some good reviews and nice menu choices. I was so happy that this worked out, and more importantly, everyone really liked this place for all the reasons noted.We're definitely planning to return, for the menu, the staff & service, and the pretty cool & comfortable vibe - obviously I can't say enough good things about our visit. We also found it moderately priced, reasonable with nice sized servings. The bar is really inviting, and I'd love to return just to hang there as well.Lastly, my son (26) & I made a point to tell the wait staff and then an owner that we loved the music & nice vibe, that they actually had a really cool Indie music playlist going on in the background - and not the usual offensively bad pop that many places do; we had a nice brief chat about that, and even the two older people in our group said how much they liked the music in the background as "unfamiliar though really enjoyable" (I'll remember that when I put it on in the car for them in the future! :). Credit to the ownership & management for setting a nice vibe, doing something a little different, especially nice for those who notice these things.“
“From the moment we walked in, until we walked out, the staff were great. Friendly and patient and very affable, all of them were amazing. The bacon cheeseburger, with any toppings you want for no additional charge, was so good. It had been years since I went to a 5 guys, and it was way better than I remember it. The Cajun Fries were also delicious. I also got a strawberry banana milkshake, which was very good. You can choose any flavor or combination of flavors for the same flat price. It took about 7 minutes for the order to be completed. I just can't say it enough, but the food was REALLY good. The friendly staff was just the cherry on top. Definitely recommend this Five Guys.“
“Quiet little dinner with a lovely atmosphere, polite staff, and delicous food. My pancakes were fluffy and delicous, bacon was fresh and chewy with some crunch. My partners eggs and home fries were fresh and tasty, we both enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. A real rare dinner, not many hole in the wall dinners left around the area that have this level of service, and quality. Highly recommend.“
“We really liked the Alabama White, Signal 30, and Carolina Sauces on every meat choice- we've been looking for a local place that does signature sauces like they do out west! We also appreciated the scallions and strong cheese in the Mac n'cheese, and the solid side salad (mixed greens!!) with balsamic vinaigrette. Our server was super attentive -We'll definitely be back and hope to see a mustard based potato salad as a side ;)“
“Since my first post, the manager reached out to me about the situation, offered to send me a replacement pizza, and I accepted, He was courteous and respectful, and checked with me after the pizza was delivered.He chose to upgrade my pizza to an xl 12 slice, pizza was hot when delivered, He stepped up his service, and made me happy with his restaurant!So, just ordered a pie from Gino's, guy said 45min to an hour, delivery guy calls and says " boss gave me wrong address", so I tell him my address, and sent hot link with the same, about ten minutes go by, he calls and says" I'm outside with your pizza" go outside, no guy, no pizza, call him back and tell him hey you're not here!, told him I sent him my address as a hot link, to check his text, he says" I be right there" I said my pizza is going to be cold, he swears it's not, shows up,my son goes outside to meet him, gives him a tip and brings the pie in, this started at 10:41p, he shows at 11:45p with cold food,Not happy, called the shop, owner says he went to wrong address twice, that's why it was cold, I said I paid you $26 for a hot pizza, what are you going to do!?! He says we are closed, call back tomorrow.I am pissed to say the least.“
“Five Guys has been open 15+ years at this location but you could think it opened a few months ago. The crew had it looking super clean and keep everything looking great (it was quiet on a snowy night). The fries were great but with a LOT of salt, and the Little Bacon Burger was perfect!“
“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 ??“
“We are looking for just a little place that we could go to at a very short period of time in between dropping off kids and picking kids up really cute little store both burgers we had tasted really good would definitely go back againDietary restrictions: They had a gluten-free bun. My wife is severely allergic to gluten and had no problems after eat there about three weeks ago, or whenever Valentine’s Day was.“
“I walked in and the manager asked if I wanted a burger and how many patties before I even could order to get it out after. I was very impressed and very friendly staff. I was very impressed. Jeremy was his name and is an excellent asset to the team.“
“This place was great. I’m always willing to try new places and this was it. The build your own burger was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. Everything tasted fresh and high quality. Benson the server made me feel at home with his amazing customer service. Will definitely be coming back. If you’re considering going don’t hesitate because it’s definitely worth it.“
“Good food, relatively cheap drinks, friendly atmosphere. Certain nights things can get a little crowded but that's to be expected in Troy. My wife and I love coming here.Parking: If it is busy, park on a side street and walk a few blocks.“
“Always a great experience at Friendlys. The weight staff is always nice and pleasant. The food is very tasty on their menu. Usually if we are ordering regular food we eat in and if we’re ordering ice cream we either go pick it up or we have GrubHub deliver it. It’s always top-notch and we’re always excited to get our wonderful sundaes.“
“The person taking the orders had an attitude. I'm so sorry.. I traveled that whole week. The fish place that I was thinking that I was writing a review for was in Washington DC. I got mixed up on the place there. So sorry! You guys were nice.“
“Really great pub food. We had a burger that was delish with bacon cheese and red onion. At least a half pound. (half for lunch tomorrow!) Also a Philly Cheese Steak and Triple Ruebin. All excellent. A Thai Chili boneless wing appetizer was also great.Friendly people too. The owner, Dan, spent a lot of time with us telling us about his menu offerings, brunch menu and of course the Superbowl deals. He's very excited about his establishment.Their wing prices are incredible. Everyday just $14.00, 1.16 per wing net and they serve a dozen. Can't beat it and on Wednesdays just 50 cents a wing.Great local bar with back room dining, gas fireplace and lots of Tv's in bar area.“
“I tried the amusingly named, and my cholesterol levels didn't thank me for them I am sure, "Fry My Balls." Deep fried mac'n'cheese spheres stuffed with bbq pulled pork and served rippingly hot, drizzled with a chipotle crema. I was in a food coma heaven for the rest of the afternoon.“
“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.“
“Step into Johnnie's Daughter and you're transported to a world where excellence in soul food reigns supreme.As you savor each bite, the ambiance of the restaurant envelops you in a warm embrace of nostalgia. Good old-school music fills the air, setting the perfect backdrop for a soulful dining experience. However, while the music adds to the charm of the place, some patrons may find it could use a modern update to appeal to a broader audience.Nevertheless, the true essence of Johnnie's Daughter lies in its authenticity, captured best by Mel Waiters in his iconic song "Hole in the Wall." It's a place where time seems to stand still, allowing guests to indulge in the simple pleasures of good food and great company.Overall, Johnnie's Daughter is a gem of a restaurant, serving up soulful dishes that hit all the right notes. With a few tweaks to the ambiance, it has the potential to become a timeless favorite for generations to come.“
“Of all the quick drive up hot dog and burger joints, this may be my favorite. I know that people have their neighborhood favorites like Mike's and Gus's, but Jack's was a notch better. I had a bite of their hot dog with the works and a cheeseburger. Both very good, hot and balanced ingredients. The young man at the window was very accommodating. Big Plus, they have banana shakes. If they were dead even, that would put them over for me. They have outside seating and it is a nice small town. Try this place out.“
“Nice local ice cream spot. Their soft serve is super smooth and creamy. Good portions for the cost. Got a chance to chat with one of the owners when we stopped by. She was super friendly and very knowledgeable about all the details of what makes great soft serve and very knowledgeable about allergen info. They make all of their own ice cream with raw ingredients and it's obvious they have a passion for what they do. We will definitely continue visiting Mac's“
“Fantastic service! Chef was very nice and helpful, Food was amazing! All fresh ingredients , Chicken over rice was delicious. Love the seasoning in the chicken:) No photo for food this time, when I realized I didn’t take photo of food the food was already 2/3 gone. That much delicious;) I’ll definitely visit here again:) Thank you!“
“I would describe the food as homey and unpretentious, but also unremarkable. A burger and fries with a soda was about 18 bucks, so two out of five on the value scale. The owner happened to be present, and inquired about my dining experience, so better marks for service. This place is a popular local seasonal business, also serving as an ice cream shop.Parking: There's about a dozen parking spaces, depending whether the owner's trailer & truck are present.“
“This place almost has a neighborhood bar feel to it. Simple and classic bar food. The biggest positive is the prices for the food and drink. We had a burger, sandwich and a small pizza which were all fine plus a few drinks and the bill was $20 less than expected. Add in great golf cart views and we will be back.“
“I order wings from here often and I love them, their has been times my order was wrong but ill still eat it because the food is so good. One of my go to spots, the empanadas are good and ill always get me a slice of that carrot cake as well. Outside of the order being wrong the few times it has been I love the food and would recommend it.“
“Although we were out-of-towers, this felt like such a cute local spot and just had a really good vibe. Sliders were good and we loved the fun cocktails. But the best part was everyone who worked there - the service was good, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Very happy with our visit there.“
“After only eating Chick-Fil-A in D.C. and Virginia, I was overjoyed to find out Chick-Fil-A would be right in my hometown. Although when it opened, it was always crowded, and pretty much impossible to get "fast" food for the first 1-2 months, it has calmed down, and is pretty fast in terms of service. I went around 6pm, and there was a pretty large dinner rush line. However, the staff remained very calm and mature and dealt with the crowd smoothly and quickly. I got a Chick-Fil-A deluxe with buffalo sauce, and it was absolutely scrumptious! If you're ever craving chicken in the Troy-Rensselaer area, come on down and check out Chick-Fil-A! It's been worth the wait!Parking: Decent amount of spots to park, as the restaurant shares a parking lot with the adjacent Aldi.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals, cow mascot, games. Overall average kid-friendliness compared to other fast food restaurants.“
“This is a small, cozy space with a few tables but it was easy to get one on a Saturday night. Most patrons filled up the bar. Our family of five with kids were up for trying something new and this place did not disappoint. The apps - homemade chips and salsa as well as pretzels w/mustard were yum. Food was made to order, expect to allow time for that. Everyone enjoyed their mains which were Reuben, wings and burger. I opted for the eggplant chips, which were slightly overdone but still tasty. Waitress was beyond friendly and attentive, she was great with the kids. I Would return and recommend if you're up for good food/service and hometown bar/restaurant vibe.“
“The place is small but the Burgers are tasty. We ordered a Vegan and Cheese burgers and the packaging, the taste, the filling, everything was spot on. There is a finesse to the taste that is hard to describe, you need to eat it to find the difference.“
Cafe •
“The ambiance and food is awesome! I’m visiting from another country, and I came in here with a friend to get a coffee, but we ended up ordering much more than that. Definitely recommend to stop in and give it a try. If I lived here I’d be here everyday to work, or bring people/friends in.“
“Lovely place with a decent selection of burgers and combos. The staff is friendly and fast. Service is efficient.We enjoyed the sandwich burger as well as the double cheese.Very nice seating with a view of the road and Walmart.Kids will enjoy and so will a family.“
“Cafe Hollywood dose not get any better for a Lark Street experience for fun, food and entertainment. Especially when Justin is looking out for us all with his wife Jen, the second greatest business owners on Lark Street. Thank you Justin and Lark “
“The outrageous shake is crazy good! I had the peanut butter, chocolate brownie one and it hit the spot! He uses quality ingredients because I didn’t crash afterward! Derrick is so friendly and kind! He brings your order to you! Very nice Guy! We cannot wait to try more items on the menu! Keep doing what you’re doing! Two happy customers in Rensselaer!“
“I don't normally eat lunch, but had missed breakfast and was in the vicinity at a few stores, and this fit the bill. I enjoyed a cheeseburger with fries, a coke and a chocolate shake. I ordered the regular fries, but the portion is quite generous. I didn't realize that I had ordered a double burger, but it was what I needed. The shake was fabulous. The bill was $24 and change, more than McDonald's for sure, but the portions are large, and the quality vastly superior. I don't eat out often, but Five Guys is worth the trip.“
“Stop selling imitation shrimp with poop. They stinks and gave us stomach discomfort. When ask to get something else they refuse and later gaves us 3 mini chicken fingers for kids. And the manager had a tone and a bad attitude. Never again is not worth “
“Applebees has improved in the last 20 years. They have refocused and reworked their business plan. They are family friendly and the food is top notch. This location was slammed during my visit and the wait staff tried their best but needed more staff to earn 5 stars for service. However, this is a good place for a family meal or a date night. The decor is clean and well maintained. Stop in soon. You'll enjoy everything including their prices.“
“what to say about this restaurant?? well to start you ate greeted by the low lighting and rustic feeling of place, the food is absolutely delicious, they offer many options a little something for everyone. i enjoyed the onion rings very big and crisp and the ceo is delicious fries were nice hot and crisp and not to salty and the girls at the counter have a very positive attitude and smiles throughtout the interaction.Vegetarian options: beyond burgers, vegefi burgers, burgerbowls that also can be modifiedKid-friendliness: kids menu optionsWheelchair accessibility: there is a wheelchair accessible ramp on the side of the building where i parked“
“We ride past this business daily and tonight we decided to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised with our order which we took home. We ordered a 2 piece crispy chicken breast and wing with a side of mashed potatoes with gravy a biscuit and a drink. When we got home we heated for a few seconds and this was the best chicken dinner better than KFC not greasy and taste we ordered a side of coleslaw each as well and was very good also. We will definitely go back and recommend their chicken combos great service as well“
“4 stars for atmosphere only because this place hasn't changed AT ALL in 20 years, but that's not a complaint.... To me, it means they're about the food and that's it. The waitresses had smiles for everyone and there was nice conversation from nearly every person who walked thru the door. Food was great, got exactly what I wanted... Despite my desire to eat plain eggs toast and potatoes, it tasted exactly how I wanted it to.“
“While I love OJ, it is a hit and miss with the employees. Sometimes they are very friendly, making small talk while preparing my strawberry banana Julius, and having a good time. Other times, however, it's like I'm inconveniencing them when I make an order. But that's just how it goes in the mall, I guess - or any public facing customer service job for that matter.“
“Okay first thing is first it's very clean and well organized! They have a thing called "kids club" I didn't know about and they have a little station with snacks, treats and stickers for the kiddos kept my son happy and busy while I shopped. There was a young man Billy, and women (I didn't catch her name) and they were so pleasant and helped me find the chocolate bananas I have been looking for for over a week, billy was kind enough to let me know about kids club and walk me over to find it. These two employees really made my day by just being kind and helpful I'm going to shop here more often because of them! Thank you guys I hope you see this and know truly how kind and helpful you were considering I had a 2 year old, shopping isn't always easy. So thank you again, and thank you to the manager for having them on your team!“
“We have enjoyed The Standard Restaurant since it opened (sometime after the Bugaboo closed.) The waitress was wonderful. She was helpful, personable, attentive but not hovering and her pacing was perfect! The Santa Fe Egg rolls were delicious, plentiful and came with a complimentary sauce. My wife enjoyed the Pete's Special very much and was very impressed with the soup as well as the sandwich. Our family was celebrating our son's birthday as well as his recent graduation from college (at his favorite restaurant. ) I was surprised that this was not even mentioned by anyone since I checked the appropriate boxes on the reservation form as well as in a message to the restaurant. I understand this can happen with messages not being forwarded. It has been awhile since I ordered the Crab cake BLT. It was the best in the area. Tonight's CCBLT had much more filler, rather than crabmeat, than I remember. It used to be 90 percent crab meat. I believe that ratio has been reversed and the texture was not nearly as appealing. Although still tasty, with a warm-soft roll and generous amount of fries, honestly, it was disappointing. However, all the portion sizes were huge and each of us took food home. The Key lime martini is still the best in town! The prices are reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and everyone was welcoming and polite!“
“Not all the Burger Kings look alike but the bathroom was very clean I used the bathroom and basically I did at the Burger King in menands. But the people at the desk and give me a hard time I just went in and use the bathroom. My mother ordered one of the new raps the chicken wraps those are to they're so ?“
