“So, this PR girl asked where I could get a good Reuben. 5 people recommended Illusive. You'd never know it was there unless you looked for it. Boy, was I not disappointed. The best Reuben I've ever had. Bought 3 to share with building managers. I'm sure they will also start going too.”

“Fun place to hang out, whether you play golf or not, it's so much more than that. Great food, great vibes!”

“The best Thai around!💜”

“The staff was friendly and the food was absolutely delicious.”

“everything from Burmese, to sushi, to American burgers, family owned”

“My wife and I have been there several times and are always impressed with both the quality & quantity of food. I love Chicken Tikka Masala and Naan (and have become very particular with both). I find theirs to be on par and possibly even better than my long time favorite, Karavalli’s in Saratoga! Last night we tried their Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza and it was amazing! the crust is like a thick naan and topped with their tikka masala sauce (sooo good), Carmelized used onions lots of cheese and what I believe was tandoori chicken and comes with extra sauce for dipping. Our server was also very outgoing and suggested their rice pudding which was freshly made. I normally don’t like Indian Rice pudding as most places make it thin and runny, but theirs was thick, creamy and delicious! located in East Greenbush, it’s totally worth the drive!!! Please give them a try, especially since so many restaurants have suffered due to the pandemic. This place deserves your business if you like quality Indian food at reasonable prices.”

“Great food and service!!!”

“Amazing food. Taste fresh and like real Mexican food. I highly recommend to come here.

“Absolutely Amazeballs friendly atmosphere and menu. I love all the health food options in the cooler. And it’s THE ONLY PLACE I cAn find fresh DELICIOUS Sea Moss Gel. Recommend 100%”

“Delicious and always consistent! Their Sicilian pies have a great cheese pull and crispy base! The sauce is delicious and full flavored. The toppings are chef's kiss. Staff is always moving and pleasant!”

“The food here is excellent! We love the dine-in. It’s well organized and food is served quickly. The red curry is my favorite 😍”

“My dad told me about this place. He said they make their subs with love, so I had to try it. He was not wrong! The food is amazing and the customer service is phenomenal.”

“Off Shore has a range of delicious fresh fish. Salmon was amazing. They have an adjoining restaurant should you want the cooking done for you. Very reasonable prices. Run by good people. Been in business since 1976.”

“Cutest place with unique ice cream options. Try the taco!”

“TALK ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I didn’t realize they closed at 9, and I walked in with my two girls at 9:02pm. It was a rough night with some tears so we were hoping some froyo would be just the fix we needed. The two women working were mopping the floors and closing up for the night but INSISTED that we get our froyo fix despite the fact that they were actually closed. They couldn’t have been nicer and I felt SO BAD but they promised we weren’t inconveniencing them at all. I was beyond impressed with the customer service and work ethic. We will 100% be back to this location for the simple fact that they were so incredibly kind to us. THANK YOU! You made our night!”

“I love 7 Brew and I love this location, but I was extremely concerned by what I saw during my most recent visit.

There were easily around 30 yellowjackets flying around inside the employees’ workspace. What originally caught my attention was watching one employee valiantly swinging at them while simultaneously trying to do their job. Once I looked closer, I realized just how many yellowjackets were flying around the employees. There were screen partitions in place, but at that point they appeared to be doing more to keep the yellowjackets trapped inside the workspace with the employees than actually keeping them out.

As a customer, it was honestly alarming to watch. Employees should not have to spend an entire shift dodging and swatting yellowjackets while trying to make drinks and serve customers. Aside from being distracting and stressful, there is also the very real possibility of someone being stung or having a serious allergic reaction.

This is a workplace safety issue that management/ownership needs to take seriously. Please get a professional exterminator out there and properly address whatever is attracting or allowing this many yellowjackets into the workspace. Having employees continue working under those conditions is unacceptable”

“Excellent Sausages, Burgers and Hot Dogs and soups! Kevin and staff make you feel welcomed, and enjoy the conversation you provide.”

“Hands down the best Subway I’ve ever been to. I am not from the area but stopped in on Friday and had to again today. Both times I had great conversations with the employees. Both employees and the manager that I’ve had conversations with have been incredibly friendly and polite. You can 100% tell that they genuinely care about their customers. They also give great portion sizes and make sure your sandwich is made right without cutting corners unlike some other Subways i’ve been to. On top of that, the restaurant is clean and well kept. If you’re in the area don’t bother going to any other Subway if it’s not this one!!! Thank you guys I will be back!”

“They make amazing teas great customer service and are true to their prices! 🧋😁”

“Friendly people. Usually hit up with Roger at the bar but tonight it was Dom along with a very nice couple from Poughkeepsie. Road trip it is to the culinary paradise nearby. So, yes, atmosphere and bar is very friendly. And the beer is good too.”

“Great little cozy bar that shares space with an equally great pizza/Italian food restaurant( Manor House)The eatery has fresh housemade rolls for their hot/ cold subs and have dinners & pizza
The bar is great with excellent prices.
Customer service for both are awesome!”

“The food came out fresh and hot, and there’s a good variety on the menu with generous portions. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the meal more enjoyable. The restaurant itself was clean and had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. That said, the food quality seems like it can be a little inconsistent. Some dishes were really good, while others didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially when it came to the steak. Prices also feel reasonable for a chain restaurant, particularly with some of the deals available.”

“I have never had a bad experience here. The staff is always friendly. They are efficient, professional, courteous, and know their stuff. They have never been slow when I am there, but they are always moving fulfill orders as quickly as they can. I have never seen any staff there being anything but productive. The entire staff is alway dressed professionally, and the location is always spotless.”

“My first visit today And was good Loved the fries”

“Great food, great service, eat here!”

“Wonderful product and very easy to deal with!!”

“This is my go to for boneless wings, especially the PBJ. I have been known to drive 1/2 hr to get these wings.
Red sauce is good
I haven't had a bad meal here
We always get our food to go and eat at home
Staff are so friendly and accomodating”

“I saw some not very good reviews on this place so I figured I would try it. It was awesome! The pizza was nice and cheesy, saucey, and herby. The crust was nice and crunchy with a garlicy tase like Domino's. The pizza was a tad bit burnt on the bottom though which made the crust a bit too crunchy. I also got their giant reeses pb cup cookie and it was delicious but needs a little pinch if salt. So soft. Thank you Route 4 pizza!”

“The hibachi lunch was the best I have had in the capital region. I got the combo with chicken and shrimp and the flavor was spot on. The portion size was also huge for the price so value was definitely there! I have also tried a few special rolls and each have been delicious. I would recommend to anyone in the area.”

“The meat sauce imo is the best in the cap region”

“Great neighborhood bar been there for many years owners of very nice lady husband's a great bartender and her son Mike is also a great man Michelle Rooney his girlfriend's also a great bartender”

“I'm from Brooklyn where Paesan's does not have a great reputation, just because it's a chain. So I'd been avoiding it but finally decided to try. Glad I did! The crust is exactly like Brooklyn pizza, just the way I like it. The sauce is sweeter than Brooklyn pizza but that's how most people seem to like it up here. I'll be back for white pizza.”

“Great food and service given the circumstances.”

“We have always gone here for any celebrations and had a great experience. Tonight was good but not great. We were a party of 12 and made reservations. Once we were all seated it was like we were rushed to leave. Ordered drinks which too longer than normal. Order two plates of sushi and they came mid way through our meal. Cooking started before soup or salad. Once the cooking was done. Boxes came out but we were celebrating our granddaughter’s 7th birthday. So was asked if we could get something for her. Took a little bit but ice cream, candle and singing but there were 5 other kids at the table who wanted ice cream too. Asked for them to have some and waited 20 minutes. It was such an odd experience. We will go back but please slow down Hanzo! This is what we pay for…a nice evening out. To give a time frame, we sat down at 435 and we were done at 530 but then waited for ice cream.”

“My daughter and I love coming here for a a special lunch together. Everything is always delicious. The service is always friendly and polite. The place is clean and great ascetics. And really reasonable pricing for high quality food. I cant wait to go back!”

“Over all for opening day it was great. Only one suggestion, stop being stingy with the sauce! I only got one. Other chick fil a’s load em up!”

“Friendly service and good Happy Hour specials! 👍”

“Stopped by the restaurant on my way back to the hotel. The person behind the counter was very friendly but not overly helpful as this was the first time in the store. Got the General Tsao and ribs. Both were delicious and there was enough for the next day lunch too. Wonton soup is really good. I recommend this place.”

“always a great meal ken and his wife are super friendly and funny great atmosphere and if your alone sit at the bar great conversation”
