“Great happy hour spot. Don't arrive during happy hour for a dinner table without a reservation on a weekend night. High tops are seated for dinner guests only when guests finally are done with the long happy hour.
Drink specials at happy hour are worth the trip but someone has to wait in line at the door at 4:30 for high top seating. Meeting people at happy hour is easy because seating is close and you can hear everyone's chatter.
Well staffed. Good service. Catering takeout is easy and consistent.
Parking: EV charging for a fee.”
“Emily's team made our holiday party a success! Our group of 40 fit perfectly in the VIP space. The food and service was fantastic. The whole planning process was easy! Highly RECOMMEND!”
“My experience was exceptional tonight in these days and times. When my order for Prime Rib was not cooked to order, they replaced it not only with the correct preferred doneness, but it was replaced in a timely manner and with a genuine desire to please me as a customer. Kudos to the manager that is in charge of the Prime Rib clientele - which is exceptional in the Clifton Park area. 👍”
“My husband myself and my mother went there tonight to celebrate my birthday August 24. We’ve never been there before and I just want to say that the service was fantastic! The food was fantastic! Our waiter really outdid herself and we will definitely go there again.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We were surprised and delighted by how fresh the food was at this restaurant. We wandered in about 8 PM on a very slow night and yet our sashimi was absolutely fantastic and all our other dishes were beautifully presented. We would 100% return to this restaurant. It’s a hidden gem”
“Fantastic, delicious and very fresh! They use the bare minimum rice in their sushi rolls which is perfection for someone like me who is watching their carbs. The freshest, best sushi in all of Saratoga County. We come from Saratoga Springs because it's better than any place else.”
“The Tavern has been in business a long time. Used to be called The Clam Steam Tavern. Was and maybe still is, a popular country music venue. My dad was a country and western singer and played there a lot in the 50's. Maybe even in the late 40's. A nostalgic band stand and dance floor is still there and looks like it is in use. The food is standard bar food but very good. I do not eat seafood however my wife does and really likes the clams. Enjoy eating on the outside porch. Will be back this summer.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“If you're looking for a place in Clifton Park that never disappoints, this is it! We've dined here at least 15 times, and each visit has been just as fantastic as the last. From the moment we walk in, the service is always friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely top-notch. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a more leisurely meal, everything on the menu is prepared with care and attention to detail. It's rare to find a restaurant that consistently delivers such high-quality food, and this one nails it every single time. What I love most is the combination of a welcoming atmosphere and dishes that hit all the right notes—flavorful, fresh, and always satisfying. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!”

“Last night I ordered a cheeseburger for my wife and chicken tikki masala for me. My wife's favorite burger is Burger King. She said the burger was very good and almost as good as Burger King. Her burger was much bigger from Kabob House so she only ate half. While she was enjoying her burger. I was totally enjoying my chicken tikki masala. i wanted to eat half but I kept mixing a little more of the red sauced chicken with the rice. It was so fresh and the spice was so good. I was so full yet wanted more. The only thing I could not understand was, how and why would people not buy a burger here instead of Burger King? It even came with fries. My wife said because it had no onions. Later that evening I heard half a cheeseburger calling me. I cut off a large bite and was amazed by the thickness of the burger. The meat quality was far superior to any fast food burger. I am declaring Kabab House the burger winner. The food here is excellent. What's not to like ? I think they need an interior decorator. The place needs new tables and chairs with a better layout. Brighten things up.”
“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".”

“My sisters and I went there to try it out and we had an amazing experience! The staff was so friendly. Our food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!!! The owner even came over and said hello!”
“We had a retirement party for my husband in the banquet room downstairs. Highly recommend. Very bright, nicely decorated, private, and kid friendly. Joan their event coordinator was absolutely amazing from beginning planning to end. Great to work with. She made the evening so stress free. We hope to have more events in the banquet room.”

“We were up visiting some friends who brought us here on our way to the airport. I was expecting decent food and beer. What we got was a very positive, spunky and great attitude from Ella our server. The food and beer both turned out great but we all loved Ella’s positivity and just all around pleasant attitude. Even if the food came out just ok you would have gotten five stars from me just because of her. People don’t talk or act like that anymore and it was a great experience!”
“First time here with my family. Authentic Thai & Japanese Food, nice service with great atmosphere. Will definitely visit again soon 👍🥰🙏🥳”
“Amazing staff. The manager came out personally to help my wife pick foods that she could eat due to her dietary restrictions. I’d come here even for just the bread sticks salad and soup options.”

“The food seems to get better every time we order. Customer service is great. When I have to order through a 3rd party delivery service I always have to call to make sure they leave something out I'm allergic to & the woman is very sweet & makes sure they get it right.”

“One of the top coffee shops in the capital region.
The bagels are incredible and my freezer is always fully stocked with their day old bagels that they sell bagged up in front of the store. Their cold brew is so smooth and delicious and I’m always a smitten kitten for anyone that won’t charge me extra for oat milk.
The garlic and herb cream cheese is the best I’ve had in my entire life. The service is always perfection and I swear they only hire absolute sweethearts. The vibes are always exactly what I need and if you’re lucky you’ll hear the staff singing along to their favorite songs and their positive energy is enough to make you want to apply here yourself.
This has become my cozy little hangout spot after dropping my daughter off at daycare and I’ll continue to give them all my money always.
Shoutout to the bearded employee with the dunder mifflin tshirt who was just the perfect amount of positive energy to start my morning today. Love love love this place. Parking is always available and super kid friendly too with high chairs, comfy booths, and outdoor seating if they get a little rowdy. All their treats are kid approved by my 2yr old”
“Always friendly service, great options on the menu (they make custom changes), happy hour specials, and they have a great event schedule! Don’t forget to come in for your birthday- wings or clams or n the house!!! When we go for a birthday celebration we always get deer off the menu and get drink specials as well!!! I would suggest the Eggplant stack but ask for the Lisa Special- pesto instead of marinara!!! It’s absolutely to die for!!!”
“Great local restaurant. Food and service always excellent! One of our favorite local restaurants. Good luck and continued success!!”
“Literally the best. You can get your food in 10minutes or 1hr. They’re so chill. Our server was Euclides Aristides, he’s on point, always checking, cleaning, bussing tables and being a waiter. 10/10”

“16 Handles in Clifton Park did such an amazing job for a graduation party that I had. They allow you to order as many varieties as you want. The great thing is it covers all kinds of dietary restrictions. Everyone was able to have it!!! It was such a big hit at the party and I can’t wait for the opportunity to use them again!!! I have been a fan from the start, when you receive such good customer service it just takes it to the next level!! Thank you for adding to the whole experience.”
“I loved dining at Antipasto’s. We had fun talking to Steve one of the owners. It was cute, laid back and the food was delicious. The eggplant was made to perfection. I throughly appreciate all of the authentic Italian dishes that incorporate white beans. The variety of salads all have yummy veggies .. i can’t wait to return… this will sure be a regular stop for me when I’m Clifton Park..”
“Wedding Cake !!! We ordered from the Clifton Park, NY location a two tiered cake with 14 dozen bundtinis for our wedding in October!!! They were amazing! The cakes & the staff there. They looked amazing displayed as much as their taste. All our guests loved them & thought how unique it was to have as our wedding cake. We cut the cake but fed each other bundtinis… yummy! Thank you so much for a delicious dessert for our beautiful wedding!! ❤️ Karen & Robert”
“Great spot to meet up with friends... pool, food, live music, trivia, open mic... with friendly and efficient staff who treat you like guests and not just clients!”
“Great professional service by Delia. she was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. good food quality and large portions. I'll be back.”
“We had a group of 9 for dinner on a Saturday night, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Everyone’s food was excellent — flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. This place has quickly become one of our favorite spots!”

“This restaurant seems to be run by the next generation rather than the old school Asian restaurants. The staff is very upbeat and the food is delicious, not greasy like so many other restaurants. It's so tasty, I have to inquire if you are using MSG because everything is so tasty. Hopefully you not. Please address this question. Anyway... Delicious food!”
“The pizza is some of the best in the capital district if you like a bit thicker crust. The wings were pretty dry and I was not a big fan of the peanut butter and jelly wings flavor. I wish there was a better seating area because it's not close to residential areas and the pizza won't survive a 10+ min drive home without getting mushy.
The picture is after the pizza had been out for 10-15 min so it's not the most flattering picture”
“It was good food. Ordered for take out. They have seating in the restaurant if you want to eat there. Good was ready when I got there. A good choice for a meal to grab on the way home.
Vegetarian options: Eggplant, green beans, mixed vegetables tofu
Wheelchair accessibility: It's in a small strip mall, so the sidewalk area has access for wheel chairs and there are no steps to get inside the establishment.”
“Not your “ average “ Chinese restaurant. Authentic dishes, super knowledgeable staff and a killer background music playlist. Honestly I can’t recommend the food enough!”
“Waiter was excellent! Food & beverages were great. A place to certainly visit again.”
“Our server, Max, was excellent! Cocktails he recommended were right on. Was a little disappointed in the vodka sauce for my entree but the meatballs made up for it.”
“my wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in saratoga. we stopped in for lunch, and it did not disappoint! the food is amazing, and it's a great environment. highly recommend!”
“The food has always been good here, tonight was no exception. Onion rings could have been better. They have live music, band and then a DJ tonight. It gets too loud to continue conversations though. The waitress was perfect.”
“The food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended”
“went for the first time this evening with daughter. the fried rice is the best around!!! steak hibachi, spicy crab rolls and shrimp tempura rolls all perfect!! staff is so friendly! our waitress was wonderful! we will be back!”
“We both have to say that every serving of our dinners from soup, salad, the bread, meal and dessert was exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I ever had. Outside seasoned perfectly and grilled, the inside was soft as butter. Delicious!”

“The dining experience, while pleasant in some respects, ultimately fell short of expectations. The cuisine, while not offensive, lacked any particularly memorable characteristics or unique flavors. Unfortunately, the cost of the meal seemed disproportionate to the quality and quantity of the food provided. The service was characterized by a noticeable delay in the delivery of both food and beverages. However, the staff members were consistently courteous and maintained a positive demeanor throughout the service. Despite the efforts of the personnel, the overall value proposition left something to be desired. I would consider revisiting the restaurant, but only if there were improvements in both the culinary aspects and the pricing structure.”
“Classic McDonald’s experience—fast service, decent food, and a clean dining area. The fries were fresh and crispy, and my order was correct, which is always a plus. The only downside was that the drive-thru was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid visit!”
