Restaurants in Rensselaer

“Love this place. Atmosphere is nice for either a romantic date night or a little earlier with the kids. Their signature drinks are strong, creative, and tasty. This is our second time eating there and both times the food was delicious.Our servers both times were very nice and accommodating. The pretzel appetizer was hot and the cheese sauce was delicious. The barbeque pulled pork sandwich was also yummy with crumbled fried onions amd coleslaw on top with a pretzel bun. I had the ember salad with the raspberry vinaigrette and myself and the kids couldn't stop eating it. Their street corn chili soup was to die for. Even my picky toddler loved it. They also make an amazing grilled cheese for kids if requested which has been a hit.Definately recommend giving this place a try if ever passing through or in the area. All of that and my husband's beef sandwich meal and a few craft beers for 70 dollars which is reasonably priced nowadays.”

“I absolutely love coming here! Friendly staff and great atmosphere! The baked goods are amazing and so are the refreshers! Love autumn that girl can mix a drink and bake!!! She’s the best! ?”

“My fiancè took me here for my birthday. We were both very impressed with the whole experience! We started out with drinks, salad, and appetizer. They were all amazing! Our waitress was super nice, attentive, and fast. Our dinners were fantastic! We hadn't even finished half of our salad when our dinners arrived. They are freaky fast! Two months later and we are still raving about this place. You can't get any better, for a restaurant, than: great friendly service, super fast cooks and servers, and mouth watering food! We are dying to go back and we can't wait to share the experience with our kids.*Update: My sister and I ate lunch there and once again there was a nice waitress, the food came fast (even though I've eaten there many times and it was as packed as I've ever seen it). I love, love, ? this place!”

“The food was very good and plenty of it. The service was good the wait time was not that long for the food to be ordered and then brought to the table. About the same as most site down and order fresh food restaurants. The restaurant side was set up with colorful pictures of Mexican street scenes. Booths and tables and chairs. Nice grocery's of Mexican foods offered.”

“I am a truck driver and absolutely love finding restaurants like this.food and service is absolutely amazingAmerica was built from these businessesThank you for the great ”

“Hole in the wall with very good authentic food but the service lacks a lot!!!! The server was nice enough but clearly didn’t understand the service part of the job, not being able to answer simple questions about menu items to not providing items we asked for until well into the meal… but not the end of the world, still worth the visit.”

“The hunger I had, mixed with the anticipation of trying this establishment, got me ready to try plenty of things!I walked inside with my significant other and we were quickly helped. We were told to pick our table, so that was cool. We chose a table towards the back.They definitely had a lot of options to choose from. I ordered a Diet Pepsi and a Scratch Made Soup to start with. The soup was chicken noodle and it came in a Bowl. We ended up choosing two items to share, since it was a hard decision. For the first, we chose from the 1/3 lb. Burgers list and went with Fenwick’s Finest. It came with Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Pickle. We got to choose the cheese, so we went with American. We had it cooked medium. It included Chips. For the second item, we chose from one of their Mouth-Watering Entrées. The 6 Oz. Filet was our choice. It was a Center-Cut Beef Filet and we had it cooked medium rare. It came with Choice Of 2 Sides. We chose Fries (Ranch) and Onion Rings.The Diet Pepsi was awesome and came with free refills. The soup was alright, but not worth the price in my opinion. The burger was cooked nicely and was tasty with all of the toppings. The chips were a bag of Kettle Cooked Potato Chips Regular and they weren’t too bad. The filet was cooked great and tasted fresh. I wish it was bigger for the price, though. The fries were oddly my favorite item of the night. I couldn’t stop eating them, until they were gone of course. The onion rings were excellent. The batter brought the flavor alive!I tried quite a few drinks throughout my visit. I tried a small Bravo 4 - Fenwick’s. This one was an APA. It was a smooth brew and a great start. I had a small Hub & Spoke - Fenwick’s. This one was an American Lite Lager. To me, it was very similar to the Bravo 4, but it had a healthy crisp to it. It was still enjoyable. I tried a small Bomber Blonde - Fenwick’s. This one was a Blonde Ale. It was definitely my least favorite drink. I gulped it down just to finish it. I wouldn’t drink it again. Besides those brews, I tried out a Whiskey Smash. It was made with Fenwick’s Wheat Whiskey. It was a hardcore drink in my opinion and it was blended very well to still expose the whiskey in each sip. I enjoyed it throughout my session here. For the last drink I tried, I went with a Lemon Drop. This one had Fenwick’s Vodka. I can’t say I love vodka, but this drink was rather smooth and provided a nice finish to the experience. This drink was tasty, but probably a one-time thing for me.The server was fast and attentive. She refilled my Diet Pepsi before I could even finish it each time, so that was awesome. We didn’t have to wait too long for her to bring us anything.Overall, this place sure did deliver a fantastic experience. Some of the items had too high of a price. I was still pleasantly impressed! If I’m in the area in the future, I might explore the menu a bit more.Date of visit: Feb 29, 2024”

“3/9/24- We came here to eat on a recommendation from a friend. I was happy we stopped by because the food is delicious ?The place was busy but there were a lot of tables available. The place is big and it has a hall. No matter when you go you'll find a seat.We had Horchata and Cherry Pepsi which they make with grenadine. I am sure any of the other drinks are just as good. The Horchata is homemade so you're not cheated on taste.They bring you chips and salsa and they are not stingy. We had five kids and two adults and plenty of chips to hold us over.The food is made while you wait. The combo choices are big and filling. I had the beans, rice, carnitas taco, green tamale, chicken enchilada and they all had meat. We ordered an Albondiga soup and it was home made with tortillas.My wife ordered the Chimichanga and it came with beans and rice.The kids had quesadillas, chicken tacos, chicken enchiladas, and fries or choice of beans and rice. So kids don't get cheated.It's in a small town with great history. We found out it has been there for 20 years. The parent's owned it and it has a family atmosphere.We will return and enjoy our new favorite Mexican restaurant, Ayda's!Kid-friendliness: There's a good kid menu and it had a few choices. We took our kids and all five ordered something different.”

“We were hungry Out-of-towners passing through when we googled pizza restaurant near me. Had good reviews so we gave it a shot. My wife was skeptical because it’s a one man show. Food was great, service was even better. Friendly, reasonable , and prompt. Thanks for feeding me and my hungry family!”

“Ordered Christmas dinner from here for work, it was piping hot and on time for noon pickup! Best chicken we ever had! Broasted to perfection! Very friendly staff!:) and reasonably priced!”

“The food is delicious. I have dined here several times. Definitely order the small as it's a lot of food. The egg drop soup is good. This time I ordered the Pork Chop Suey. Also Crab Rangoons. The staff are friendly and helpful if you have any questions.”
