“Indian Ladder Farms is the perfect family day trip destination! They truly have it all – from the best ciders (their sparkling cider is a must-try!) and good beer to amazing food that keeps you coming back. There’s something for everyone here. The kids love seeing the animals, and there’s plenty of seating, including a cozy fire pit to relax by. Apple picking is a blast, and you can even pick fresh raspberries when they’re in season.

The country store is a treasure trove, offering homemade cider donuts that are absolutely delicious and some of the freshest apple cider you’ll ever taste. Indian Ladder Farms is a fun-filled spot with a relaxed vibe – perfect for making family memories and enjoying the best of fall!“

“Go there on Saturdays for breakfast. Have never been disappointed in the food, service and atmosphere. You are always welcomed by Chris and Ron and also the patrons. It's like everyone is family there. Great place, great price great people.“

“This restaurant is Schenectady’s Best kept secret. I’ve been there several times for lunch and it never disappoints. The service is spot on from when you walk in the door, no pun intended but I’m in a wheelchair(handicap accessible) to when you are leaving, opening doors and exchanging goodbye pleasantries. The place itself is immaculate, shiny floors, beautiful atmosphere, great background music and above all delicious food you know is prepared to order. While being there for lunch, I ordered off the dinner menu with no problem, as the staff is extremely accommodating. The menu includes a wide variety of options to satisfy every palate.
Next time you’re looking for a great, quiet and delicious place for lunch or dinner, give Chez Nous a try you will not be disappointed. They have private spacious rooms for small private events and I will reiterate the place is spotless and extremely comfortable with GREAT FOOD!
Thank you and Buon Appetite!

“Broadway lunch has been one of my favorite places for years. Their to go orders are always perfect and always hot and very quickly prepared and ready. They have the best hotdogs and meat sauce, onion rings and coleslaw! That’s my number one order! I should branch out more, I am sure they have many more wonderful things on the menu. Along time ago I used to get their Buffalo chicken wrap which was heaven! With onions, tomatoes and the Buffalo wing sauce. Sooo good!“

“Our recent visit to celebrate my aunt's 60th birthday has been on my mind all weekend.. It’s not every day you stumble upon a place that has awesome food, gorgeous atmosphere, and EXCELLENT customer service. Thanks to the ridiculously genuine warmth of the owner and server’s- I'm pretty sure they're secretly saints or something. The kids in our crew were so excited to meet and play with the bar dog Chevron and felt like they were part of the cool kids club, (when who I believe to be the owners) allowed them to play darts when I was like, "Uh, I don't know if that's such a great idea🙅🏼‍♀️..." But instead of giving us the side-eye..He just laughed and was like "Hey, let's make it interesting - who wants to bet on their game 😂?" - Talk about a major win.. They just simply let the kids be kids.. and unfortunately that sometimes very hard to find. If you're on the hunt for a spot that's all about family, community, and food that's the soo delicious, stop looking - This is definitely the spot!“

“the food is amazing the service is great“

“Dairy Circus is always wonderful!! Large portions, reasonable prices (so uncommon these days), and the girls behind the windows are always so sweet! They also have the best toasted coconut dip! Thank you so much for being a place where our family can gather for a delicious treat!!“

“I ordered food from Maisie's for a celebration lunch for my staff. Delivery was exactly on time. Everything was really delicious. Several staff members came up to me afterwards to complement the quality of the food. We have gotten family dinners from. Maisies' before and I definitely recommend them, as well. Everything is freshly prepared, homemade, and delicious. Such a great asset to our community!“

“THE BEST FOOD EVER! FOOD TIME!“

“Stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday. It was quiet for a Saturday. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. I hadn’t been there in a couple of years, so we decided to stop in. They usually have some terrific specials in addition to the menu. Patrick will always give great advice on what to try. My wife had a huge lobster roll and I had a panko encrusted baked cod. Both were specials and both were terrific. While it’s a bit out of the way, it’s a great spot. The deck is covered and overlooks the 18th green of the golf course. Very enjoyable.“

“Great Food, Great Prices and Great People.“

“Just had the Mac n cheese with brisket, I eat a lot of BBQ but this was the BEST I have ever had! Perfect blend of smoke and seasoning! Highly recommend!! And they gave us the last of the brisket for free! Good people!! 🐷“

“11-14-2025 My mom had a hair appt close by today so I picked her up to have lunch at The Bellvue Cafe. She had chicken soup and a Rueben with fries. She raved about all of it. Some of the best chicken soup around imo. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. I loved seeing her enjoying all of her meal! I had chicken soup and the brisket pot roast. The carrots, onions, celery and taters were all cooked perfectly and not mush. The brisket was so tender I just used my fork. Mom took half her soup and Rueben home as she couldn’t finish it all. She did enjoy the rice pudding with whipped cream for dessert too. What an enjoyable day! 10 outta 10!!!!“

“Food was delicious and well presented. Lighting was wonderful for a quiet relaxing dinner. Our waitress was very attentive and well prepared when we came into the restaurant and one of the guests has a mobility scooter. Making this one of our favorite spots to dine out. Also opened on Monday where many other restaurants are closed.“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“Went to Junior's yesterday for the NBA game and some MLB games. Service was great, bar was very busy but one of the bartenders Vanessa came right over and got me set up with a drink and a menu. after giving me some time to think she promptly came over and took more order and food came out very quick. food was delicious as always. both bartenders were awesome. I choose to come to Junior's over other bars because the staff always provide the best service and make Junior's a fun place to drink and watch sports. 10/10 experience“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“Everything is always delicious. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious“

“Last Sunday we were looking for a casual place to have a light dinner. The Broken Inn fit the bill and more! We had the Deluxe Burger which was perfect cooked and stacked with fresh tomato and lettuce onion & choice of cheese. The brioche bun was delicious too! The Caprese Salad was excellent as well say the Caprese Flatbread both with a drizzle of thick tasty balsamic vinegar. Everything was excellent just what we were looking for! A small casual dinner with excellent food and drinks!!“

“I want to thank Jeremy for hosting a wonderful party for my husband 65th birthday. We had 35 people and he made sure we didn’t want for anything. It was an amazing place to have a family event. The food was fantastic, laser tag, mini golf and the arcade were a big hit with both the children and the adults. The service was spectacular. Everyone had fantastic time.“

“mike and I love coming here for Sunday brunch. The food is always delicious. it is a family owned restaurant and they are all so nice.“

“Excellent classic diner experience. Food was exactly as it should be. Home fries were fluffy and not greasy (and NO peppers!). Eggs and hash and bacon all treated with respect. And a bargain to boot, coffee and breakfast for two for $23, we left a double tip for the great food and service.“

“In the past year, I’ve ordered an appetizer, the flatbread pizza at least 3 times. It’s always been delicious with just a little bite to it. Tonight I ordered it and it was excessively spicy hot. My tongue and lips were on fire! We told our waiter and he said he’s had other complaints this past week about it being very spicy hot. I couldn’t even eat it. My husband switched meals with me. The waiter did ask if I’d like something different but seeing my husband switched it wasn’t necessary. Has this menu item been changed?“

“We had such a great experience at Applebee’s tonight. Our server, DeJay, was outstanding from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and on top of every detail without us ever having to ask. Our drinks stayed full, food came out perfectly, and she made sure we felt taken care of the entire visit.

It’s rare to receive service that genuinely elevates the whole meal, but DeJay did exactly that. We will definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for her again!“

“serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.“

“The staff especially the manager Vanessa were absolutely amazing....I can't put into words how much I appreciate her for allowing me to stay as long as I did to be safe....She was extremely understanding & beyond accommodating....she checked up on me regularly & even helped me out on finding another spot to hang out until I was able to get my bus back home to Syracuse....Thank you Vanessa for everything....I truly appreciate it..oh and the food was very good...I had the brisket melt & onion rings...“
