“To start off the atmosphere is very refreshing and upbeat. It also is very clean. I got the soft shell crab to start with and it was a great portion on top of being delicious. I also got the 3 fish sushi tacos and let me tell you, I am a sushi connoisseur and they were delightful. The tortillas were the perfect thinness and the flavors popped in the tacos. It was honestly everything I could want or except in a raw taco. Owner was very nice and enjoyed our conversation. I totally recommend this place!”
“Wonderful atmosphere and great service! Everyone is so friendly. The food is good and a great selection of beer and mixed drinks to choose from. My wife and I always have a good time at Samsons.”
“Came here a few times... Once in the summer and once yesterday/spring... The bartenders are friendly. My hubby loves their crispy chicken Sandie. I got the corn beef special... Could of used more seasoning but the veggies were cooked perfect.”
“I like their iced coffee, nice boost of caffeine. Also love the avocado toast and hummus toast, those are both really good. Also love the bagel bites with cream cheese.Parking: Bountiful parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“After 52 yrs of life, traveling the world in the Navy and millions of miles driving a truck, I can without question, say I have found the nicest person in the world. I believe her name is Tammy and she works here. If there were more people like her in this world it would be a much better place.”
“Best food ever …don’t skip dessert…home made ice cream! It’s located in a strip mall so atmosphere outside and quaint inside…rez highly recommended…love this spot!!!”
“Super stylish and elegant SoHo-worthy dining room in tiny Kinderhook, NY. Sort of Asian fusion cooking, very fresh vegetables and imaginative small plates to share. Cauliflower was a favorite, Jasmine rice too. Can get noisy as the night wears on!”
“Very creative menu, delicious food set in a historic building. Beautiful rooms, would love to dine on the patio someday. Here from Boston. Kelly our server was friendly and efficient. A must try.”
“Lucky ? to have stopped at The Bunker during our stay in Greenbush. We sat at the bar and our server Lauren was so attentive, friendly and made a delicious dirty martini. The food was excellent! We ordered the salmon tacos and Philly cheesesteak, both scrumptious! Actually, I order fish tacos quite often and these were the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely stop in again when traveling through the are.”
“This was my first time here, we were in Albany for appointment and were trying to find a vegan place. I didn’t know most places in Albany are closed on Mondays. Wizard burger blew our minds. The friendly staff were patient as we took a bit to take it all in. The atmosphere was great from the music to the decor, they also have a free library and can play retro video games. Onto the food, my husband had a burger and fries that he said was perfect. I had the Buffalo chik’n sandwich, and fries, I couldn’t finish mine due to the size. It was about 5 tenders cooked perfectly and smothered with Buffalo and ranch. The fries were hot, and not greasy like most places. The price for 2 entrees and 2 Mexican coca-colas were $30. Not bad for an all vegan meal with large portions. I highly recommend Wizard burger, and look forward to going back.”
“An awesome brewery with great food, known nationally for their IPA's. All their food is made in house. There is tons of seating but don't let that fool you, they do fill up quick. They have beer types for everyone to include dark, sour, light, IPA, cider and usually host guest taps. The food menu is pretty extensive and also have something for everyone. Parking usually is pretty easy and the customer service is top notch. Highly recommend this as a must stop destination in Albany, NY!!!”
“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.”
“Good mooring! Are you craving some delicious ice cream?! The perfect spot to satisfy the cravings is here. The parking is street parking, but I always find parking no matter when I go. When you first enter the store, it gives you a warm vibe, which is perfect for eating ice cream! I went when it was high noon. When I got to the counter, Sam greeted me right away, and she offered excellent suggestions. It took me a while to decide on what to get because the menu has unique names. Sam offered me samples, which helped me make my decision. She was very professional even though I was standing there for a while, trying to decide what to get with asking for multiple samples. In my personal experience, some people get impatient when you can't decide right away. You can't go wrong with any flavor! The ice cream was super tasty and amazing. The seating area is very cozy and organized. It feels like you got teleported to your living room. One thing that caught my eye was the chess board on the table. Make sure to clean up after yourself because we all know you don't leave garbage around in your living room. Overall, I have to say the experience was amazing because of Sam. Shout out to Sam!”
“This is the Best thing to happen on Delaware Ave in a long time. Everything about this place was amazing. I even had my sister come up from Poughkeepsie to try the food. We will definitely be ”
“We decided to try Albany Ale and Oyster House on a chilly, rainy Wednesday afternoon since we had to be on New Scotland Avenue for an afternoon doctor appointment. I'm so glad we did, and also happy we arrived just as they were opening because we were able to sit at the bar and visit with one of the owners, Mia. We tried a flight of beer opting for all pilsners, one each from Italy France, Czechia and from our own New York region; all tasty, just the right amount of foam and nice and chilled. I ordered the Beyond brat which comes with comes with kale slaw and honey mustard, crispy potato chips in a brown paper bag for soaking up the oil and keeping them crispy, and a mixed green salad with the best sesame honey dressing. I love good salads and this one was perfect, with dressing on each lettuce leaf. Mia said they take their salads seriously, and you can tell. My partner had the Reuben and he proclaimed it the best he ever had. Overall the taste, presentation and preparation of the food was perfect. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and the friendliness of the owner and all who work there; Albany Ale and Oyster House is now one of my top favorites in the areaVegetarian options: In addition to the Beyond Brat they offer Beyond Burger and some interesting salads.”
“I Was referred here by some co- workers, came here with my fiance we loved the food, great atmosphere, the owner was super friendly and hospitable from the moment we entered. We will definitely come here again. Looking forward to trying their breakfast.?”
“Very hospitable restaurant. Lady brought us out hot tea and then a salad and soup. Then our appetizer and main meL came which was excellent. It was then ended with a homemade green tapioca. Very friendly place with incredible service. Can't wait to go back!”
“I got a delicious meatball sub. Everything about it was fantastic, bread & meatballs.If there was anything I think could have been a little better, I wish there was a little more sauce and some cheese on it.But you can't beat the taste and service.I'll be back and probably for another meatball sub . The cookies are addicting too.”
“Delicious stop off of 90 if you’re doing the Boston to upstate NY drive. Everything was fresh and delicious!Kid-friendliness: Super accommodating to picky kiddo eaters!”
“I've lived here my entire life passed this place a thousand times and finally went in...one of life's regrets is not trying to sooner. Everything was perfect from the second you walk in.I had the Veal Luciana, hands down the best I've ever had. This is one of my top dish life time. You have to give them a try. The house salad was also out of this word, I could have got two of those and been satisfied with my meal. Simply delicious.Great service and quick food delivery. Everything and everyone was on point.Prices were right on with what you get for a meal. Excellent flavor.”
“A ton of fun. They were able to have a group of 5 of us drop in for about an hour. We got a quick tutorial on axe throwing with the various tools and then we were left to do it ourselves with periodic checkins make sure it was going good. The boozy moos served there was also fun. I was able to get a flight of the ice creams and try a couple of different flavors. Would totally go again.”
“I would give 100 stars if I could! I go here at least once a week sometimes more. Such a large variety and excellent quality ingredients! One of my favorites is the turkey cranberry Panini. Where else can you get turkey cooked right there in their own oven. I do not like deli meat, which is one of the reasons why I come here! Everything is so fresh and cooked right there. My husband and I get their salads once a week and this says a lot because my husband is not a salad person. He likes the Italian mix salad because it’s everything he would get on a sub without the bread. I would list everything I like here but this review would be pages long. I read some of these other reviews and wonder what planet these individuals are from because anyone giving a negative review is either at a different place or has nothing else better to do than write fake complaints. During Covid this was the only place I would eat because it was that clean! The owner truly cares as does the entire staff! Aside of excellent quality food, this is the only establishment I know that gives back to the community in every way possible. Keep doing what you’re doing guys! We love you!”
“5 star pizza. Place is no frills, but clean and welcoming. Everybody was pleasant to deal with. And when I tell you the pizza is great…..THE PIZZA IS GREAT. It stands out in all categories, texture, taste, quality just fantastic. We had a margherita with prosciutto. Can’t say it enough times, it’s a spectacular pizza. Give them a shot!”
“Very tasty food. Really freshly prepared. Very friendly owners. Lots of vegetarian dishes. We'd love to come back! ?????Vegetarian options: Freshly prepared meals.”
“I must’ve passed this placed 5,000 times but never went in. That was a bad move on my part.I tried this place today and it was PHENOMENAL.The atmosphere the choices on the menu, the quality of food, the service and the price - all amazing.You don’t find a lot of diners likes this anymore and it has instantly become my goto diner.”
“Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Got a beer flight, house made hummus and the smokey grilled cheese. The grilled cheese had ham and mustard and was perfectly paired with smoked scamorza cheese on sourdough.”
“Hai I have visited the store 4 timesI have experienced the best food over here in reasonable price and the staff was very coolKarthik received and helped very wellI suggest this for everyone to go over there”
“Calamari is very good as an appetizer. The dishes are plentiful. Atmosphere is of an old style restaurant, nice and comfortable. No TVs hanging from every corner of the rooms.”
“I love this cafe’s lighting and drinks. I enjoy the food but a personal take, I wish they would make the whole menu gluten free since it looks like they would only have to switch to an alternative bread and granola to do so. Their mocha donuts are delicious.”
“If you don’t at least try this place once before you go 6’ under, you’ll be sorry.This place makes the best pizza around. “The Fig” is my personal favorite ?”
