“Lovely restaurant amazing burger options. My recent go to place.”

“Delicious meal, I took the hot pot with my hubby, wonderful service, Ipad work great for ordering, surprise dessert for my hubby birthday, thanks for the nice diner!”

“First time visitor. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive, friendly. Would absolutely return to try more options. The lunch buffet is a step above others in the area.”

“My favorite place in the area, as the food is always fresh and delicious! The portions are huge and Sal and his staff are amazing; he can come up with anything even if it’s not listed on the menu. They get busy with lunch rush from the hospital and still manage to get everyone in and out. I highly recommend their spicy falafel gyro! My daughter loves their chopped salmon and her best friend is obsessed with the chopped cheese sandwiches. It gives NYC deli vibes. I come here for lunch every week and have yet to leave unsatisfied. They have vegan options as well and there is something for everyone here.”

“We stopped in to our first time tonight at a little before 6pm. Promptly seated, great menu, cool atmosphere. Natasha A was our server, and was exceptional. Sweet, bubbly personality, great recommendations, and attentive without hovering. Food was awesome. Shrimp ceviche, Birria fries, and burritos were all delicious. Large portions. Will definitely be back!”

“delicious food and amazing atmosphere. I love this oasis, it is a lively place with elegance and still peaceful for business meetings”

“Great food, great service, and you always get your food fast and fresh. Ashley is the greatest I’ve ever encountered in the history of food service. She needs a raise and a promotion ASAP.”

“Fun night out….great staff and cool place with a good amount of different activities.”

“Always awesome food. Me and my fiancé stopped by before a show last night and I got the Buffmac Crunchwrap and I need more of those in my life. Will always be back to put a checklist next to everything on the menu.”

“I have known about the Ragonese Imports since I was a child. The Ragonese Imports have great food because I can smell the foods while I'm waiting for the bus. I promised myself that I will return when I have the money. Forgive me for not returning sooner.”

“Coccadotts goes above and beyond... Their cakes are delicious, and their custom designs are incredible. Due to unforseen circumstances I was unable to pickup an order I had placed before closing, and someone came back to the store to allow me to pickup my cake and completely saved the day. I'll be recommending Coccadotts to everyone!”

“Great service and prices. love the lunch buffet!”

“Such good fries- such great service- a gem in downtown”

“While passing through for a short visit to the UAlbany campus, we researched some healthy and affordable lunch options nearby. We are so glad we found Simone's! This place is so cute on the outside, and fast, affordable, and delicious on the inside! The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the prices were competitive with chains like Chipotle or Panera. 5/5!”

“I had the 17-course Bougie Omakase, and it was honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had.

The entire vibe of the place is fantastic. The interaction with the chef and staff makes the experience feel personal, fun, and welcoming from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about what they’re serving.

What really stood out was the quality of the fish. They source fish from Japan every couple of days, and the difference is noticeable immediately. The flavors are incredibly clean and fresh. some of the best fish I’ve ever tasted.

Each course is thoughtfully designed. The chef gradually builds intensity, serving sushi with progressively stronger and richer flavors so every bite feels better than the one before it. It’s a really clever and satisfying progression.

Some of my absolute favorites were the toro (fatty tuna), the wagyu, the scallop, which literally melts in your mouth, and the sake (salmon). But honestly, every single piece was exceptional. The subtle seasoning on each piece elevated the fish without overpowering it.

Overall, this was a top-tier omakase experience. Incredible quality, amazing service, and a perfectly curated progression of flavors. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves sushi.

Hands down an outstanding experience.”

“I cannot believe this is my first time trying their cuisine! SO good and authentic. I need to have all the things! very flavorful, great portion sizing. 5☆! Banana sticky rice, coconut pudding, mango sticky rice, papaya salad, pad thai, thai iced tea, peanut lovers dish! All amazingly good! Delivery is worth it! Thank you♡”

“custimer service is excellant but most of all their pizza is the best of the of the best keep the good work up you all rock”

“Absolutely delicious. I've only had boba once before (at a different location) and it was so...bland? I didn't like it. I tried this place out on a whim with my friends and I was shocked! It knocked it out of the park in regards to taste. I got a milk tea with boba but it was so delicious that I'm still thinking about it! If you want boba go here. If you're nearby, get boba! I cannot hype this place up enough”

“Excellent flavorful menu! Great service! Delicious desserts! Highly recommended!”

“I was going to gatekeep this but it's too special not to share. We went to Villa di Como and everything from start to finish was delicious. We started with cocktails made with their house made limoncello and orangecello, for apps we got the rice balls, garlic bread, calamari, broccoli rabe, and prosciutto and arugula pizza. We should have stopped there because it was more than enough food for four people. But we went on a tour and got more. We added the porchini mushroom pasta special, the Margherita pizza, frutti di mare pasta and pasta carbonara. Every dish was flavorful and made with attention to detail and love. We were all rotating plates bc it was sooo good. The pasta, sauce, cream, butter and oil tasted like nothing I've ever had locally. We had another round of drinks made with their in house orangecello, cheesecake and espresso ice cream for dessert.
Villa di Como is an intimate, clean and authentic space where you won't be disappointed. The food and cocktails were a 10 out of 10 for everyone. It's spotless, organized and the bathroom is maintained very well. They also have items that they make in house for you to experience at home. The service was top tier. Be sure to ask for Matteo or sit right at the bar. This will be a place that I frequent. 🧡🤌🏿”

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)”

“This is a MUST every time we travel down from Maine to visit friends. Amazing food, creative wine selection, and the BEST service. We are customers for life ❤️thank you Athos! Ali, (aka Bob Ross), keep on keeping on!”

“The best cocktails in Albany! (Get the Capital City Renewal!) I had the best birthday dinner there tonight. Thanks to the team for making it special. The appetizers were incredible!”

“All the staff were very friendly. The food was delicious.”

“Absolutely delectable. I thoroughly enjoyed my takeout. I recommend everything I got pan fried pork dumplings, spicy chicken dumplings, pork filled chili oil wontons, spare rib, and red bean filled buns. I would definitely be reordering from Taiwan Noodle again! I look forward to trying more items on the menu. Since I ordered delivery I cannot comment on the service and atmosphere yet. I hope to dine in soon.”

“We absolutely LOVE booking Nine Pin for our Lifestyle Program of events for our residents here at Adams Station. Nine Pin's booking process is effortless and timely. Jessica is an absolute joy to work with, in addition to every staff member she has sent us. Our residents love when Nine Pin comes to events, whether it's to set up a bar and serve their delicious drinks, or for the tasting events that let them learn the history and science behind the brand. Thanks for always elevating our events, can't wait to have you back soon!🍻”

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.”

“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.”

“Excellent service! Great food! Reasonable prices. Morgan was a great waitress! Perfect dinner! Thank you!”

“Topical Vitamin Patches very helpful for consumers of meds that decrease GI absorption. Don't get anemic apply B12Plus Patch during the daytime. Stop an allergy apply VitaminC Patch and drink an herb tea. Want to skip Iron infusions? Check out PatchAid's Iron Plus Patch or Simply Iron made from plantbased ingredients. .”

“M&E PRODUCTION HEALING HART INC. The first and only nonprofit organization in the world that utilizes Art Therapy, Entertainment and Universal Education to Spread Love and Peace throughout HUMANITY.”

“Born and raised in the Schenectady county, I grew up LOVING Freigofers! For the love of me I can’t remember the name of my favorite cinnamon rolls they made. I believe they had a cinnamon/ sugar crumble maybe like pecan or something crushed up with it on the top! Does anybody remember the name of those cinnamon rolls? Or a recipe? I crave them monthly.”

“Our table was ready when we arrived. The dinner menu and prices were comparable to other establishments in the area. Our server was efficient and the food arrived rather quickly. All food was good.”

“The workers are always smiling and pleasant even at the drive thru. The food is always hot and fresh. This is hands down the best McDonalds in the Capitol District.”

“Food was hot and fresh. I got a pretty good deal, too. They had a $6 deal for filet fish sandwich 🍔, 10-piece nugget, and I used a code for free med. Fries 🍟 and large drink for under $10. It felt like 1995 again. Customer service was pretty good for a change”

“the food is good 😊👍 but I went to McDonald's this morning and I was told to come back at 8:00 am”

“I recently tried Cheesecake Machismo for the first time and OH MY GOODNESS! By far the best cheesecake I have ever had and I consider myself a cheesecake snob. My family tried: Ube, Hot Cousin-Peach Cobbler, Butter Rum Apple, Caramel Toffee, Cherry Amaretto, and Strawberry. My favorites were Caramel Toffee and Cherry Amaretto and my husband loved the Hot Cousin and Cherry Amaretto! An absolute must try!”

“Amazing food and atmosphere! Definitely one of my new favorite places!”

“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”

“Office too cold in the summer? No problem, Kuma’s delicious soup will warm you right up! The Tonkotsu is amazing, the Tori is really good especially if you are new. This place is a gem!”

“Good dessert the place is very nice and clean, Daisies treat her customers with love, I recommended to everyone..”

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!”

“5 stars.Best in Albany. Been coming here since I was a kid,in the 90s.”

“Emack in Albany is a wonderful venue - for a quick cone or a meet up with friends. Orah has done an incredible job making this a fun & inviting space for all who walk in the door! Looking forward to the music on the summer stage :)”

“Super cute place. Oreo bubble tea is the best! 🧋”

“its triple so nice！”

“Best hidden treasure in the Captial region. The food was so good. Worth the small time to wait. It's hidden in an office building. It's middle eastern food. I had a beef Ruben and my wife a Gyro. Even the fries were fabulous.”

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕”

“Awesome spot 💯 Food and prices were exceptional, the bartender was super friendly, and she was even cool with me taking over the jukebox for about 45 minutes 😂 Would go out of my way to stop again!”

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.”

“Best food. Best price. Great atmosphere”

“I had an amazing experience with Elaine!!! The cake came out beautiful, I will be back, she went above and beyond! I had a tres leches cake!”

“Lauren and Colin are beautiful people and run a truly special establishment. An amazingly curated tap list and bottle selection, as well as super tasty small bites make for a wonderful experience with each visit.”

“My husband and I are soooo happy we decided to go to Cafe Capriccio for Valentine's Day this year! We actually booked a little early and didn't know they'd be having a prix fixe menu but Carly was amazing in contacting us and coordinating everything so we would still be able to go! The food, as usual, was amazing. For appetizers, my husband had the grilled octopus and I had the crab cake. For main course, we both had their filet mignons. For dessert, my husband had the pistachio cake and I had tiramisu. Our server was also very attentive and the other staff were also amazing. It was obviously busier than normal since it's Valentine's so we understood if our server wasn't able to attend to us like any server would on a normal day but the entire team was amazing and I could tell they all knew how to feel things out and help each other. Hats off to you guys! Keep it up, you're all amazing. And like I said on my Instagram story, Cafe Capriccio is the place to go to for ANY occasion. 10/10!”

“I’ve been looking forward to checking out the restaurant, Dove & Deer, since I first encountered their food when their chef was highlighted at the annual Summer Gala fundraiser here in Hudson last year. Their chef served an incredible amuse-bouche with gooseberries and the chef who was there sharing the amuse-bouches was wonderfully charming and the food was incredible! I was so impressed that I’ve been following their social media since then and have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant all the while! I was recently in the area and while I unfortunately wasn’t able to visit the restaurant in person- I was able to order through Door Dash and the meal was incredible! We ordered an assortment of things to share and were thrilled with everything! -Spicy Kale Caesar with shredded kale, croutons, and shaved parmesan! -Truffle Parm Fries with scallions and truffle aioli! -Mini Wagyu Beef Hotdogs made with wagyu beef, served in buttery toasted buns, and topped with mustard, ketchup, and relish! -Hot Lobster Dip made with lobster claw and knuckle meat, gruyere, gouda, fontina, spinach, scallion, and crispy wontons! It is often very difficult for a restaurant to adjust their menu to translate to takeout; and for them to do so where every single dish was not only delicious but also mostly with a great presentation, says a great deal about their attention to detail. This is a restaurant I look forward to dining at again many more times over the years!”

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!”

“A special thank you to Jennifer who took my last minute order for a graduation cake for my niece! The cake was big & beautiful, super fresh and delicious! And so reasonably priced! I highly recommend Fiorello Bakery! Thanks again, Jennifer. And congratulations to your daughter on her graduation! 🎓🎉”

“Amazing food, awesome customer service, and affordable prices.”

“Great food from beginning to end for both parents and kids! The service was so nice, our waitress was really friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Amazing place and they have lots of vegan options- go!”

“Obsessed, never knew I needed the Peach Madness in my life until today. Will be back in as much as I can! Chicken salad was so so so good, highly recommend <3”

“Greg and his entire staff did an amazing job on my husband's party! Everything was great! The food was phenomenal and the service couldn't have been better! Please contact Greg for parties or catering! You will not be disappointed!”

“amazing cabbage best yams everything on point”

“I have been coming here randomly for the last few years and have never been treated less than family. I eat and drink all over ny and cannot express how good the vibe is. plus the food is amazing. hands down one of the best burgers/ wings in Albany.”

“We stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the arena. We were packed in like sardines, with nowhere left to sit and the kitchen had run out of food. And yet the place still felt chill and welcoming. The bartender/owner was attentive and super friendly, despite the absolute chaos that must have been happening behind the bar. Any employees we saw were friendly and informal. Exactly what you want from a dive in Albany.

I have social anxiety and so rarely go out to pubs. But I will absolutely be going back here. Hopefully when the kitchen still has some food left.”

“Before jetting off to the warmer South, it is important to get a proper yankee breakfast at an iconic diner. Great food and service and all it right with the world.”

“We had a wonderful time. Adam was a server and he was on point all night. We did have to send a fillet back that was rare vs medium rare but that was no issue it was back out to table very quickly. We will definitely return.”

“Perfect for business meals and client meetings. This upscale steakhouse offers exceptional service and masterfully prepared steaks in a sophisticated atmosphere.”

“Amazing staff, atmosphere, and overall great time! Seafood was to die for!”

“An ideal setting for client dinners. Refined atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and attentive service.”

“We tried Mimi’s for the first time after seeing posts on Facebook. Food was great, service was super friendly, and we will definitely be back!”

“My first experience with Nepalese cuisine. I ordered three styles of momo, which is a type of stuffed pasta dumpling. More similar to a semolina dough,, not thick and glutinous like rice dough. Clearly hand made with care. Jhol Momo is steamed dumplings served in soup. Nothing was too extreme in the soup, it was balanced and savory. Kothey Momo is like a pot sticker,, fried on one side and steamed. I got paneer cheese stuffing. It didn't have lots of cheese, but rather savory vegetables to round out the filling. It's served with chutney, a traditional sauce. I really enjoyed this even though I was expecting more cheese. The C (Chili) Momo is bathed in a spicy and slightly sweet red pepper sauce. It has bits of onion and pepper and shaved scallion. I got chicken stuffed. If you like General Tso's you'll like this, if you like Chicken Cacciatore you'll like this. It left my lips feeling pleasantly warm after eating. I'm curious to know what kind of chili pepper they use. Medium heat level, don't fear it. The owner was very nice and answered my questions, and language was not a barrier. The interior is bright and clean with several tables. The exterior is fresh and new. It IS at a very busy intersection of Albany, which is why I went between lunch and dinner hours. Be aware that if you're driving finding parking nearby could be tricky, but also be mindful of holding up traffic as you search for a spot. If necessary, drive around the block and regroup. The food is worth any extra work you have to put into getting it. I felt safe in the neighborhood, but be aware of your surroundings, it's a busy area with several main roads coming together at that location. Perfect if you come by bus! I'll be going back to try beef and mushroom momo next time, and Mango Lassi to drink. 24 pieces of momo for $36 not bad. If you want a sampler order the Combo Set, hidden at the bottom of the menu. This place is going to be very popular very soon!”

“Local and welcoming. What more could we ask for?”

“Absolutely delicious!! The best authentic Jamaican food around! Super sweet ladies and amazing food!”

“Fast and friendly service! My toddler and I loved the food. And we enjoyed the retro diner vibes and chatting with employees who made us feel welcome!”

“Great sandwiches and coffee. Tradisional Vietnamese. The bread and everything in the sandwich was as exspected. The coffee was so good. Ivwish i could get this coffee every morning. Happy New Year!”

“Love it! I miss visited in Singapore!”

“We had the pleasure of eating at your wonderful establishment on Valentine’s Day prior to the concert we were attending, your staff were so polite and friendly. The food was delicious, if you get the chance try their steak and cheese, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Absolutely our new go to place in Albany.”

“Great beer selection….service attentive and friendly! Had the best Cob salad 🥗”

“My teenager has summer crew practice across the way from Eggy’s at the boathouse. When I pick her up from the river we stop and enjoy a delicious egg sandwich at Eggy’s. My teenagers are so excited when I pull into the lot every summer. Thank you for being fun.”

“Consistently awesome food at this place. The hummus is soooo delish and creamy, and the pita to dip in it is fresh and tasty. You can (and should) double dip in the hummus; it’s worth it.

Falafel pita sandwich is awesome with the crispy pita chips to dip in the afore mentioned hummus, and the baba ghanoush is super tasty.

Take out only. But the owner is super friendly when you go in to pick up your food. It’s clear he is a master at cheffing up high quality middle eastern cuisine. Highly recommend.”

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Telkwa and Smithers. I probably spend far too much money then I should here, but I absolutely love it. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great, and don't even get me started on the coffee and the food. I don't know if I've had anything that I didn't like from here. I've tried pretty much everything from the pies, meat pies, the freshly made sourdough bread that is just delicious, and the burgers on Fridays. You also have things like the cookies, the brownies and so much more. On top of all of that there's even a lot that I have yet to try, the ice cream being one of them. She even went on vacation for a couple of weeks and that was probably the longest couple of weeks without a good coffee. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, the breakfast wraps are absolutely delicious. You got to try them. Try anything try everything try it all, I'm sure you'll love it.”

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.”

“I went to the Crossgates Mall for the first time yesterday and was determined to try some Korean food. I got japchae, cucumber, carrot, egg, kimchi, potato, bulgogi and gochujang sauce. It was delicious! The right amount of spice and flavor was perfect. Great place to eat if you aren’t looking for the standard food court fare. I’ll definitely go here the next time I’m in the area.”

“We visited here at the end of a bicycle ride from Manhattan and had the best time!! The bartender was fabulous, we even learned about a new drink (to us) called Fernet-Branca. We so enjoyed meeting Serena, King, and Edward - so if you're out there hit us up! It was a magical evening 🥰”

“Always a wonderful dining experience!! Brenda and staff always give us great service!! The dining room is clean and the food is great!! They have the finest salad bar of any Pizza Hut. It is a wonderful family atm”

“The service is always good at this location. I think the coffee drinks are great, but the teas are even better. America really does run on Dunkin!”

“BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN THE NORTEAST ,”

“The food was amazing. The flavor melted in mu mouth and the workers there are kind and patient”

“My first time here, l ordered a White Broccoli and a Bella Philly Steak slice. All l can say is they were delicious and I will most definitely be back. Thank you.”

“I remember Dan's Place from when I was in law school back in the 80s. Would drop in there after a very late night out. Always great food. Glad to see it's still around.”

“Been going there for years. The food is excellent, competitively priced, and outstanding service whether in the bar, the restaurant, or for takeout. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to try. If you do, you will return.”

“A modest little Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu and very tasty offerings, Pho Yum is tucked into the corner of an anonymous strip mall on a busy 4 lanes highway. The automated tablet based menu, plastic utensils and paper table ware may be off-putting, but the charming help, the rich Pho soups and interesting selection of spring, summer and autumn rolls are definitely worth the visit.”

“Out of town working, read the reviews, previous review guy walks out because Fox News was on. I was all in. I wish there was more of him around. makes my visit that much more enjoyable . if you are looking for food this is the wrong place. If you’re looking to drink and hang out and have a good time, this is it. Darts pool, Jamison and Guinness and other beers but no Bud Light. Locals are extremely friendly ,met several new friends on the first visit”

“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.”

“Looking for a spot to get a quick lunch. My son suggested this place. Food was great, service was quick, friendly staff and very reasonable. Definitely looking forward to a return visit!”

“Tastes god and delicious”

“A friend just gifted me a cinnamon vegan donut from ‘Bitching Donut’, OMG I am hooked, will definitely be making a trip there and soon. I was the best donut I’ve ever eaten.”

“We had a 70th Birthday there and it was so amazing. The food is exceptional, the waiters are always there to assist, serve, the our waitress, Jessica, was the sweetest lady. She took all the orders, she waited through confusion. she repeated the menus, she was there popping in to see if we needed anything the entire time. Our guests all commented on the exceptional food and service. They deserve 10 stars!!! Highly recommend everyone go, just for the unique experience! The food alone is beyond deliciously, out of this world, good! Thank you Texas de Brazil staff and chefs. Thank you Jessica and Daniel!”

“We went for our anniversary on March 4th and we had the waitress that was actually from Texas and she was perfect. She made our experience the best possible experience we could have had. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was beyond relaxing and comfortable. We definitely made the right choice going there.”

“First time visitor. Food was delicious. Staff was attentive, friendly. Would absolutely return to try more options. The lunch buffet is a step above others in the area.”

“Dave & Busters in Albany, NY came in absolutely CLUTCH for us today! I had my son's 6th birthday party booked at Urban Air, but 20 minutes in, everyone had to evacuate due to a ceiling pipe bursting and causing a HUGE mess. Feeling stranded, a guest jokingly mentioned Dave & Busters, and after a couple minutes of thought, we decided to give it a shot. Not only did they accommodate our entire group of people(about 25), we also recieved fantatic service and was able to enjoy the rest of my son's special day. Thank you so much to the staff in Albany, NY today for helping us save this day. We appreciate it so much, and will absolutely return in the future!”

“We can’t say enough about this place! My boyfriend and I had our first date here so it’s very special to us. We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us. I went there yesterday; bought a slice of cheesecake and asked if they could put a candle in it and bring it out as a surprise for mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary. Not only did they do this but they also gave us an “anniversary” discount. Thank you for helping us make our special dinners even more special with your cooperation. ❤️”

“I love this place and there food is amazing today I came in around 12 and was there for 45 Minutes and I got a large Shake strawberry and banana and was large and got small and my Burger was supposed too be a tripple and not double I got work fries I love this place but because they was so so so busy that cuz they didn’t have enough working I didn’t wanna say something but ended up late too where I was going because such a long wait other then that the food is amazing one my Favorite”

“Great old building from the old days. My server Christina was great. Prompt and courteous. Food was great and hot and fresh. The old style A frame was what I grew up with as a boy. Good memories. Thanks”

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕”

“We had a lovely table on the left-hand side as you enter the restaurant. The food was excellent. The server was pleasant. The only thing that could have been better was that we never received bread with our salads and appetizers as we were told that the bread was being baked in the oven. The portions were good and the presentation very nice We would come back again”

“We got the chicken parmigiana. It was very good. The red sauce was exceptional. The chicken was slightly crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Service was friendly, efficient and professional. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.”

“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.”

“best French onion soup I've had yet. Meals were great”

“The best Italian ice that you will find!! great atmosphere and the owner is very generous friendly guy! Besides the great service, the ices are truly the best Highly recommend them!”

“How do you keep warm and in good spirits up in the crown of Maine, Aroostook county? Well...."New Scotland spirits"! Helderberg winter wheat whiskey.. 68W American corn whiskey.... or a nice bottle of Helderberg Vodka. Thanks so much for a taste of Home. Happy New year!”

“I ordered a Chicken Chimichanga and my husband ordered a burrito. Both were delish !”

“Delicious pizza and great customer service.”

“Very good place to have a coffee. Specially this place is look like ancient. If any one love to write something or think about art and spirituality he can go there. The owner of the shop is a good soul.”

“Great cozy coffee spot to chill or get some work done. The coffee is excellent, prices are fair, and there’s a reason it’s ranked among the best in town. The only thing missing would be more substantial food options — like paninis or soups — especially during the chilly winter months.”

“The best food I've ever had, and what I liked most was that the food doesn't taste like old oil. Amazing restaurant.”

“The food was tasty, clean and fresh!! Lots of choices, plenty of room to sit. They even had dessert!! Plenty of food for a fair price. I’ll be back for more.”

“So grateful Works Cafe opened a location near Crossgates Mall (Guilderland/Albany)! Only a couple minutes from I-87, worth the stop! Great smoothies, bowls, bagels, sandwiches, and bring your coffee mug to fill for a discount. Best loyalty program too! Earn points! My favorite smoothies… Carrot Mango with added protein and the Kale Crush with added protein. Great for after a workout or when on the run! The folks working there are the BEST TOO!”

“Great food, a lot of fun grilling a bunch of bulgogi on a table grill. Staff is super friendly. I will be back for more bulgogi 🤤”

“Stopped in there today for my first time and I was very impressed, great cappuccino. I’m about to be a regular customer 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Specialty dogs were delicious. No notes. Get the fire truck if you like spice, get the coney if you just want a great dog. The use potato buns so it makes all the difference.”

“A must have at the New Lebanon Farmers Market!”

“the new sports bar to be at”

“Highly recommend- gorgeous smoky chargrilled chicken and my Peruvian husband voted their ceviche as one of the best he’s had! The chaufa (fried rice dish) was also fantastic. Try them!”
