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!“

“Friendly service, good food!!“

Great stuff. And for an entree was ribs, brisket with sides of chili and salad. A came.with cornbread Everything was spectacular, one of the.best meals I have had. Bacon in the chili and the house dressing being bbq ranch were nice touches. My server Alison deserves a lot of credit too. Pleasant person, hard working, and made great suggestions when I asked. Alison and the food made this a great experience. Highly recommended and I will be back.“

“Food is absolutely incredible and the service is even better. I recommend 3 Brothers to everyone.“

“At no fun I've seen local avant garde comedy, new wave industrial goth, blistering blue grass, violin loop epics reminiscent of a scene from eyes wide shut. I've seen astrology disco parties(with a rotating astrological themes and costumes), I've seen local thrash metal bands cutting their teeth, I've seen anime bimbo parties(exactly how it sounds), I've seen couples two step the night away to straight laced country stylings, I've seen psychedelic rock bands from Japan, a Woodstock 99 cover show(yea, that one), I've seen Zardoz(yea that one), I've had a beer in a quiet space with dear friends. I've seen a band called cumgirl8, one called 'a place to bury strangers', and i've seen the medicine singers hammer rhythms into deer skin drums they tanned themselves. Ive seen afro beat, yung fredo, folk punk, glitch core, butt rock, neu metal, soft folk, blues, soul, funk, and weirdly enough a magician once. I've seen locals take the stage and take the plunge and risk baring their soul before the town. I've seen suuns rise in honey and moons come up in wine. I saw death become of light and life become of fire. I saw it from my hiding place within the quagmire.

GREAT VENUE. Just come on the right night for you. Look up the schedule(theyre active on instagram), listen to the acts, youre guaranteed to find a night fit for you. Tonight I saw Jaws and the crowd was wild.“

“Baristas are friendly and efficient, and the coffee never disappoints.“

“Friendly service. The food exceeded our expectations, it was delicious from appetizers to desserts. the hand crafted sauces are definitely a highlight. the food doesn't need sauces, but they definitely add a nice pop of flavor. we had : Yuca frita Arepitas con queso guda Arepa Pernil Cachapa Carne Mechada Quesillo de coco Crème Brulè cheescake Mango juice and a pineapple soda“

“We had a joyous birthday celebration at my son’s favorite restaurant. Akanomi’s staff and sushi chefs, itamae, excelled at all endeavors. Vivan was spot on with her suggestions and service. She anticipated all of our needs, especially with our children. The chicken soba soup, tuna carpaccio and Hawaii Rolls were our favorites. Then the sashimi / sushi mixed roll party docked. It was stunning in presentation, offerings and taste. Oh my, it was very impressive. A most wonderful time was had by all.“

“Store is always fresh and clean with great customer service. Great product and customer service with a smile! We always stop for some Bubble Tea!

Dietary restrictions: Teas for all options.

Kid-friendliness: Bright vibrant many options for children!“

“I ordered take out for dinner last night. Kind of a big order. Four hibachi combos for myself and family. The man on the phone was nice and patiently took all orders. It was our first time there so we didn’t have any expectations. The food upon bringing it home was packaged very neatly and was still hot! Everything was delicious! chicken and steak combos were cooked how we asked; mild, but nice flavor and not dry. My son got shrimp combo and that was good too. I love love love that the veggies were soft and flavorful. Noodles and rice were also very good. We didn’t get the two shrimp appetizer, but that’s ok. Portion sizes were good, ate the whole meal in one sitting because it was that good. Prices are a little bit up there, but fair for hibachi in my opinion. Definitely will be repeat customers, hopefully it stays just as good!“

“Nighthawks is THE BEST spot in Troy. My husband and I adore this place. They make the best omelette I’ve ever had and my husband is in love with their burgers. 100000/10 recommend. Staff are amazing and overall experience is magical!! Wow wow wow.“

“This place is so nice and the guy they had out front was awesome. Very friendly and good at making conversation that was appropriate for the situation. As soon as we walked in I could smell how good this place was going to be. The overall atmosphere was a really nice mix of casual and more upscale. Very nice seating arrangements and I loved the nice blue fake fire place. I would definitely recommend them. We also went during a time when it was not very busy about 4pm yet there were still a handful of tables full despite the unpopular time.“

“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 🤤“

“The food was great and a nice change up from the traditional breakfast! (I got the Turkish breakfast plate) The staff was very nice and even answered some questions I had about the local area. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to try something new!“

“We had a funeral June 28 2025 in Waterford and the day before the family decided on having a luncheon after the services. We didn’t think we would find a place and on Graduation weekend made the odds more against it, My husband Tom and Brother in Law Keith stopped in McGrieveys and Terry said he could accommodate us. ( even though we didn’t know how many people.). Terry went above and beyond taking orders, bartending, and bringing out the food. We Thank you Terry and McGrieveys staff for accommodating us on such short notice and a difficult day for our family. The Brown family“

“Food was too tier! Will absolutely be going back“

“Best food around. I’ve been getting food from here weekly since before the pandemic started. I highly recommend this restaurant. The workers are the sweetest, the prices are great, the food is high quality and delicious!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stopped in for brunch with the girls and absolutely loved this dedicated gluten free café! Such a cute spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. I had the Big Betty breakfast sandwich and a cold brew—both were amazing. As a celiac, I really appreciate places like this where I can eat safely and actually enjoy the food. We were just passing through town, but I wish I could come here every day! There need to be more spots like this everywhere.“

“HANDS DOWN BEST BAGELS IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT!!!!!“

“An excellent selection of hard to find Eastern European beers and wines! Plus we tried some local brews. Bartender very good at helping us choose what we’d like. Relaxed atmosphere- we’ve eaten both inside and out in the garden, which is hidden from the street and a nice surprise to find after walking through the black gates. We had appetizers, burgers and salads- all were very good.“

“That pork belly bao is a travesty for being that small but being the same price as the chicken sando it’s ridiculous honestly,Lucky corner has one three times the size for cheaper 6 bucks is crazy for that one bite slider portion to price is trash here but the food is really good“

“Here for the first time and had a great experience!
Welcoming bartender who let us try several IPAs before ordering pints- they were all good! Food was tasty and came out quickly.
The burger was excellent, and liked the tots as well.
Such a cute and welcoming spot, will be back soon for more good food and beer!“

“Fantastic food, especially wings, and a great rotating beer selection … all served by friendly outgoing staff!!“

“Love it there! My favorite bar in Watervliet“

“Wish I knew about them sooner. Delicious bagels! Friendly service.“

“Can’t say enough about this place! The egg and cheese biscuit and the tahini butter and jam sunflower toast were amazing! We enjoyed the cold brew as well. Cool industrial decor. This is a must stop place for us on our way to upstate and VT. Thanks for the great service!“

“Amazing food and amazing owner!!!! Highly recommend 🥰“

“This is the best ice cream around… anyone saying it’s not good is truly just used to low grade ice cream. The ice cream is made in house with high quality ingredients. As far as anyone talking about pricing, check out any of the other places.. pirates pricing is on par with their competitors, with a better product, and more generous portions.“

“if you're in the mood for some good bar vittles. this is the place! I've tried many dishes and appetizers on the menu! no complaints! the best food and atmosphere! and to mention great service on top of that all.“

“Ever changing, like the seasons, Forts Ferry Farm offers their produce and baked goods at local farmers' markets and occasionally, at pop-up markets on site. The taste of any of their produce reminds one of the reason to shop at local farms. The salted chocolate chip cookies ain't bad either. Look for habanada peppers, the fruitiness of a habanero without the heat. There's a farm store in Hudson, NY.“

“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.“

“I tried Guptil's ice cream for the first time after hearing so much about their soft serve, and I had to give it a shot. I opted for the coffee-vanilla mix, and it was great—so creamy and rich! I also loveeeedddd the generous amount of ice cream they put on my cone; Guptil's definitely doesn’t skimp! My friend had an enormous sundae, and he really enjoyed it.

The staff was patient and sweet, and I was surprised by how many people were waiting for ice cream at 9:30 PM. However, the staff was super quick, so the line moved fast. They offer a huge variety—sundaes, soft serve, hard ice cream, shakes, and malts.

Just a heads-up, Guptil's is cash only, but they do have an ATM on-site.“

“Nice spot to spend time with family or friends I love their broccoli cheddar quiche,lobster bisque soup and carrot cake for the “afternoon tea” special“

“yes there good like the soft serve“

“My husband and I got married at Lucas. We had the time of our lives and can’t believe how amazing the day went. From first tour and booking to packing everything up and leaving, Maeve was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She was smart, easy to work with, responsive, attentive, understanding, and just a calm and collected figure the day of the wedding. We rented all of Lucas and the Garden for our wedding. We did brunch so there was a lot of logistics I was quite worried about since the timeline in the morning was so tight to do an 11am ceremony.

Everything went off without a hitch, we had to delay the start time by 5 additional minutes and that was no problem for them! The venue was decorated beautifully. The front lounge is so sunny in the morning and the space felt so warm and welcoming when people first came in. It was raining on our wedding (good luck for us!) so it was so nice having people walk into this beautiful cozy space. The garden is picture perfect. It felt like a dream. It is not a big space so the space would not work for a larger wedding. The garden is where both our ceremony and our reception took place. The staff flipped the space during cocktail hour (by the bar and front area). When they flipped the space, they made sure to include the specials I requested like putting the centerpieces, program, and name plates out. Maeve even realized I forgot table numbers and quickly went in the back and made some for my 5 tables so guests knew where they were going.

We had a few extras that were around the venue in lieu of dancing and all the little nooks and crannies helped fill the space. For events, they have the buffet on the back wall which was perfect and out of the way. The bar was always packed, and everyone said the bartenders were friendly and fast—just what you want at a wedding. I literally had no complaints from any of my guests and everyone raved about the spot. Most of the guests had never been there and couldn’t believe how different and unique Lucas was from traditional event spaces.
The venue was able to play my playlist over their Bluetooth speakers, Maeve helped control the music for us walking down the aisle and the recessional. The venue was so prepared, it was obvious that they had done several events and are true event professionals. They even let us bring everything the night before and put our flowers in cold storage for us overnight to keep them fresh. We had a few large and bulky items and I had lots of bins. I was worried they weren’t going to have the room to store stuff overnight but Maeve took everything to the back and told me that it wouldn’t be a problem which was a huge relief. I created my own flower centerpieces and was really worried that they would die from Friday to Saturday if they weren’t put somewhere safe. My last rave will be about how unlike traditional wedding venues, Lucas doesn’t nickel and dime you. There were no stupid BS fees like napkin overuse fee, coffee creamer fee, set up fee, Bluetooth speaker fee, etc. The contract stated everything and that is what we were charged which is amazing because most venue I feel look at weddings like a cash grab and Lucas didn’t do that.

Only small con is that one of my guests said the roof in the garden was leaking in one small spot so I would recommend that someone looks at the roof ASAP before we start getting summer thunderstorms.“

“This classic Italian deli offers a delightful dining experience, and their tomato pie is simply unbeatable. With each bite, I'm transported to the heart of Italy, savoring the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The friendly and attentive staff make the experience even more enjoyable, and the reasonable prices make it a must-visit for any food lover.“

“Fun atmosphere! Seriously need to go on my birthday for the “birthday boot”😆“

“Nice local ice cream spot. Their soft serve is super smooth and creamy. Good portions for the cost. Got a chance to chat with one of the owners when we stopped by. She was super friendly and very knowledgeable about all the details of what makes great soft serve and very knowledgeable about allergen info. They make all of their own ice cream with raw ingredients and it's obvious they have a passion for what they do. We will definitely continue visiting Mac's“

“looking for a great spot to dine at. Stop here: the food is amazing.“

“the peanut butter Sunday“

“Went here tonight with my 2 young daughters. Unbeknownst to us the ticketing service for meals had an issue which resulted in delays. Staff were super accommodating when we approached them and food was quickly brought out after that. Beer was excellent and combined with the amazing staff we will certainly be back.“

“We give Outback 1/5 Stars chad was a good server we didn't order the blooming fries but got them anyway we got the completely wrong order we were VERRY sad about the poor minion that got filet, he was good tasting the. The ungin sope looked like it has lots of cheese but is a scam because it is ontop of a piece of bread The ribs were horrible, did not come off the bone, no red, and no juice I was not satisfied about the cholclate thunder down from under, it was not poop as I was expecting R.I.P for the minion, very cruel.“

“Best tasting steak can’t beat price I really love the food pork chops ribs barbecue chicken and the sides never had a bad experience“
