“I used to go here with my parents until my father got it in his head not to patronize Tool's anymore. First time in quite some time I had lunch with a close friend and it was good. Turkey Club, very good French Fries, and diet Coke or Pepsi. If I'm ever in the area I definitely would eat here again. Still family run, which I like, very much.“
“Great little spot in Delmar. Stopped in for a bite on our way home, and got the roasted red pepper, spinach and artichoke bisque and Irish onion soup, Bavarian pretzels and waffle fries. Super busy place, but there was a seat for us right away. Excellent soup and appetizers. Will definitely go back for dinner.“
“On a recent adventure we ended up here and we were so so so surprised with both the quality of the food and the service! We ordered 2 types of wings, onion rings & drinks. The blue cheese dip was absolutely delish! The garlic buffalo wings were really great paired with the dip!!Our waitress/bartender was an absolute sweet heart. Give her a raise!!“
“The courtesy of Brian over the phone was incredible, and he took time to answer a lot of questions, The service was excellent and Sam was incredibly attentive to everything. The food was wonderfully piping hot, delicious beyond words, and incredibly beautifully plated. Sam was great with our 8-year-old granddaughter! Everyone was so nice. The ambiance is fascinatingly beautiful and we had the perfect window seat. Thank you to the Iron Gate Café once again for an incredible experience! We will be back! Leah MVegetarian options: Excellent and very accommodating with modifying ordersParking: Despite the ice storm and slushy parking on the street, we were able to navigate it all with ease.Kid-friendliness: Excellent!“
“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.“
“Love going here. The food is always amazing! Ordered takeout this time and it came with bread and their Olive compound butter, And the end of meal cookies. It's a little touch but no one else does that and it made my girlfriend and me really happy!“
“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.?“
“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.“
“?This is my second time being here with my buddies and I tell you this is one place you got to check out, I love the way it looks inside and the food is amazing, thank you everyone in Savoy!?Parking: It's kind of hard to find parking but it's doable!“
“Tried for the first time and loved the food here. We ordered chilaquiles, Fried Fish and the Birria tacos with their Aguas Frescas.The red sauce on the chilaquiles is actually spicy and builds on itself. The Tamarind and Jamacia is great but def recommend the Jamacia.Best Mexican place in Troy!“
“Stopped in for lunch. I am from outta state and wasn't expecting much, they blew me away the service was so wonderful very friendly and very good at there job. The prices are amazing (especially considering it's in NY where everything is overpriced) They have a huge menu with all the normal comfort foods but also have some things that's unique. I actually ordered Meatloaf Parm not only had I never tried it before but had never heard of it before. It was amazing and you get huge portions with a soup or salad . I recommend this place100%“
“Mouth-watering and thoughtful menu with creative, nuanced and seasonal inspirations for both food and beverage options. I was very impressed by the shishito peppers, general tso’s chicken bites, french dip and the espresso martini. The apps were perfectly battered, crispy and flavorful. The French dip just hit so right- tender meat, savory au jus, warm, perfectly toasted bread. The fries were perfect- exactly what you’d imagine if you are craving fries! And the highlight of our entire night was our bartender Halsey. Her genuine care in curating our experience cannot be matched. She made great suggestions, interjected with playful humor, read when our group wanted time to chat amongst ourselves, and made a PHENOMENAL cocktail. I mean, the most serious espresso martini anyone could hope for without the overstated hipster flair. 10/10. Would go back just for her. Watching her interact with her other bar guests was also a treat- it’s easy to see how she can command the room & keeps a mighty fine bar! Will certainly be back!“
“I've tried a few halal places around Albany, but the food at Aria Kabab just kicks. Their meat is so tender, flavorful, and delicious. I love getting their rice platters and the lamb shawarma sandwich; it really reminds me of the times when I used to live in Hyderabad, India. Also, a huge fan of their sauces! I also loveeeee the quantity of the portions.“
“Went for breakfast on a very busy Sunday morning. Electricity was out due to ice and snow, so assuming that locals were there because our hotel just up yhe road was out.Food was acceptable. Cooked as ordered. Service was ok. They were filled and people waiting.Wait time was ok as I said they were very busy.Felt good value for price. Will stop again when in area.“
“My friend and I were grateful that the table requested (booth) was provided. We both had the grilled cheese (we both asked and received the alteration of Swiss cheese only) and the tomato bisque soup. Delicious! Server was appropriately attentive and efficient, and professional.“
“Crab Cakes are amazing .. plenty of lumps of crab and not a lot of breading. Fresh! Most enjoyable.Cobb Salad with grilled chicken .. the salad is fresh. The grilled chicken was a bit heavy on salt.Mac and cheese with cajun chicken and bacon .. it was good.Empire smash Burger is tasty .. also love the home fries that comes on the plate.Thank you, Illusive =)“
“Went there for the first time on my scooter and ate inside. Got 4 hot dogs a cookie and a root beer for under 8$ right away. I can stop there any time I'm scooting around doing jobs in the area, I'd run dedicated delivery for them if they had loyal immobile customers. Take out is big here, it's cozy inside though.“
“First time at Manory’s today. 10/10 recommended. Place was busy, but it did not feel crowded or long wait. We got seated in less than 3 minutes. Food was amazing. Pancakes were nice and thin and fluffy. The scrambled eggs were perfect and the Sausage as well was amazing with the home fries. Service was great and good did not take long at all to come even with the place busy. In and out eating in a reasonable time. Price is perfect for the 2 of us with coffee and drinks with food came out to 44$. Menu has a ton of options. Can’t wait to come back here!“
“I went here for my brother's bday. Brought our own cake.Great vibe. Food delicious seriously the best wings in Albany. Wings are fresh n crispy outside juicy inside. Lots of variety flavors. My sister had the shrimp wrap and everything was fresh and taste great. DRINKS are great. And service was excellent. Safe location and clean bathrooms. Big parking lot too right across the street.“
“Parking: The lunch counter is fun and quick with an old fashioned atmosphere. The server pay attention to all that enter the diner. The older atmosphere is clean and amazing to be in there for lunch. The food served is hot with a quickness to get it to each customer.The beverages are ice cold served with a straw. The homemade Greek meat sauce is served on all the hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs dishes.“
“Pretty good overall. Did not have as many options as I would have liked but what I ended up getting was pretty good and they accommodated a large group of us. Had music bingo available to play and several of our group was able to win prizes.Wheelchair accessibility: Would possibly need to use another entrance if possible. Main entrance is up small flight of stairs as the building is an old office building of sorts turned into restaurant.“
“Great place. Alot of the younger crowd. But then again I was there on a Saturday early evening. 4 bouncers. That was great. I was wondering if they had anything in the works for music going forward. There were great acoustics in there. Love the barrel tables. I didnt eat there either. The outside lights welcome you and not living far from there, I am looking forward to going back!,“
“This is a great old school diner. Cash only (they do not have an ATM) and no wi-fi. Because if what you need is a Western omelet (fantastic) with potatoes and coffee, you don't need a credit card or the internet. There's counter seating and a few tables (seating 2-4 each). Very reasonable prices. Friendly and attentive wait staff. It's like 1964 in all the best ways.“
“This place was fantastic! Had my birthday dinner there tonight and the waitress Julie was amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to come back again!!!!! Thank you so much for making my dining experience a good one I appreciate it! You’re the best!Jess aka Helen“

“It started out a little rocky due to the hostess being confused on who was waiting first and yet they wrote down our names lol but me being me I took over to help and everyone was seated in the correct order. Our waitress was one of the best waitresses that I've had in my life! She was attentive to my children and myself. She laughed with us and gave us her recommendations. The ambiance is cute it has a boat vibe. The challah French toast was good as well as the classic breakfast but the turkey bacon is nasty for sure, I'm not sure what brand they use but they need not to use it any longer.“
“Well, they are two for two with our visits and review of 5 Stars! Our waitress, Samantha was our server again. As pleasant and on top of service as before. I went with the pastrami Reuben and my wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. The bread/toasted just crisp, the meat(s) were on the nicely rare side. The sides, steak fries and macaroni salad were excellent!! Real Heinz ketchup, a must with fries! Beverages were on tap. Only slight issue were the nacho and salsa appetizer, chips are just so so and salsa the same. Would not order again. Ambiance was great (big screen TV) and warm decor. Looking forward to another trip soon. Thanks again, love all the locals at the bar too!!“
“It’s a nice vibe in there. Lots of different types of people and I like the layout of the place. My only thing is that it was really warm in the bathroom like uncomfortably so, but it wasn’t that big a deal, just something I remember noticing. Live music is fire ? I can’t speak on the food I didn’t get any but the mixed drinks were type strong . I would return. Bartenders were quick and friendly enough.“
“The Dove and Deer experience begins outside with it's mysterious presence and twinkling string lights. Inside the ambiance is just as delicious as the food - low, soft lighting, a lively bar area, and a neat and uniform array of tables. Being the solitary soul I am, I sat in the row of quiet seats outlooking the street beyond.The setting is nice. I get a cool glass of water as I look over the drink menu. All the wines are dry so the helpful server helped me settle on the Love Maker. It's a subtly floral cocktail with hints of rose water, that made me think fairies might still live. She was a looker for sure and served as the perfect palate cleanser throughout my meal.I decided to skip appetizers and go straight into the main course. It's a frigid February evening in Albany, I needed something to warm my bones. The braised beef tips atop a creamy polenta, with grilled carrots and parsnips seemed like the perfect fair. The dish was beautifully arranged, and well, I'm a sucker for pretty food. It was tender, delectable... every bite seasoned well. It had soul; it lifted me from that evening's mid-winter funk.The beef was incredibly moist and tender. I dug into it, mixing each bite with all the plates' elements, and washing it down with the secret fairy juice. I couldn't finish it all and left only a few bites on the plate.Feeling satisfied with my life, I paid, checked out and walked to my car as a flurry of snow sprinkled over me. Some days are just magic.“
“Our waitress was really amazing. Bummed that I didn't get her name to shout her out. Came here with a party of 11 and was seated immediately. The monkey bread was my favorite. The wings were decent. Food portion sizes were HUGE. Lively crowd but not too noisey. Enjoyed my time“
“Amazing creative offerings. Sandwiches are great quality. Fries and burgers perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Soups are next level.Staff is friendly and knows a lot of clients by name. Somewhere that they may ask if you want the "usual" but you're going to want to occasionally try something new also.“
“Lovely spot to stop for a quick lunch. I had the Reuben, my company had the club, the mac n cheese, and the buffalo salad + onion soup. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The ambiance was nice. The service was super efficient on a Friday afternoon (between lunch and dinner, admittedly). Great beer selection. Great spot.“
“It was my first time at the Bourbon, I had the best experience ever thanks to Lucy and Jim They treated so good and welcomed me so well. I will definitely come back and bring my friends with me for a wonderful hangout. Lucy is the best bartender. If you go there ask for Lucy for sure to.mix your drinks.“
“Went on a Monday for dinner. Large party of 8 and didn’t have a reservation. The hostess was fairly rude to us and gave us attitude for not having a reservation even though the restaurant was visibly open.Otherwise, the service from the waiter, bartender, and food runners was amazing. The food was great especially for it being cheaper than most dinner places.Recommend the quesadillas and the scallops, both were great. Got burgers and wraps too and they were solid.“
“Sometimes you just want a creative delicious meal that’s perfectly executed and made with fresh ingredients. Scarlet Knife has added more vegetarian/vegan and gluten free options to their farm to table menu thank goodness as now there are lots of options for all. The Winter Greens salad was enjoyable and fully balanced. Nice wine list and live music.“
“I am not usually one for chain restaurants but this was not your typical chain experience. I had been to this location once about 6 months ago, and frankly it was very disappointing. We had to send our steaks back because they were horrible, but the regional GM apologized and made it right. Still left a bad taste in my mouth. However, this time I can attest that is was fantastic. I ordered the ribeye and it came out cooked to perfection and was so flavorful. Honestly, this was one of the best steaks I have ever had. I will be going back.“
“The food was very good, I'd strongly recommend a visit! I'm sad that it's no longer a topless or bikini bar but would still visit again if I'm in the area. If they went back to being topless I'd go out of my way to visit.“
“This place is upscale, however I got the risotto and the texture was strange. Like a pile of thick rice porridge. There weren't grains of rice in a creamy sauce, it was like a rice mash. It had strips of sliced cheese melted on top. It wasn't worth the price. But the salmon was cooked to perfection and was a big portion. I'd come back for the salmon only.“
“Best place for great entertainment, good food and friendly service. Check out their Jazz Tuesdays and Sunday brunches. Any venue that promotes and supports musicians with atmosphere and food to match is where I will spend my money and time. Hooray LarkStreet Tavern⭐️.“
“I ordered garlic, Parmesan wings from Dutch's Place for lunch today. The wings were even more tender than any other place I have tasted them. And the garlic and Parmesan permeated the wings as well. The only thing missing was the blue cheese sauce. I called Dutch's and they said that I didn't have it listed on my order. I then checked my phone, saw that it was indeed on my order and called GrubHub to confirm it, indeed it was on the order they had. It would've been an extra boost to the wings, which needed no additional support, but would've kicked things up a lot . GrubHub gave me $3.24 off of the bill because of this which was pretty nice. Minus that though, everything was pretty good.“
“What a legendary experience. We were at Hill St Cafe and called to see if they had garbage plates and they did! We were with a friend from Australia that hadn't had a Garbage Plate before so they cooked one up with home fries, Mac salad and burgers that was absolutely delicious. An experience that will never be forgotten and we all appreciate it!!!“
“$60 pp for a single cocktail 2 apps and a salad. Not busy at all on a Monday even though many other places are closed. Consistently better than average and takes it up a notch if you’re looking to impress. Still cozy enough.Vegetarian options: Few options and fewer veganWheelchair accessibility: Not great entry but ok once you’re in“

“Amazing! Simply amazing.Where do I start.Food is reasonably priced.3 eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, home fries, coffee..... just 11 bucks. They also have smaller meals for 5-8 bucks. In today's world, that's cheaper than the cheapest breakfast and much much better.The home fries: crisp, with a slight crunch, warm but not piping hot, perfect. I usually use ketchup, I didn't because it would've ruined them. They tasted so good.Eggs: Perfect. I asked for over medium. Which is kinda specific. Not only did she cook them right, but she nailed them so perfectly that it reminded me of my mother and grandmother's cooking. Perfectly done eggs at the perfect temperature.Bacon : Again nailed it, crisp but not hard. I don't know how she does it!Sausage: slightly salty, but this was perfect because as I stacked it with the unsalted home fries, it was incredible.Coffee : Fresh, my God, was it fresh. Slightly sweetened, almost like the sugar was a support to the coffee, but it didn't overtake the coffee. The coffee was the main event. Again, perfect temperature.All through the whole ordeal, she was attentive, polite, and just pleasant to be around. There's no substitute for someone who really cares when they run a business“
“I got a turkey sub chips and a pickle, the sub was delicious and came with a little side salad I went for the potato. Great value! I do wish it was a little more well lit inside just to make it more comfortable/welcoming although the friendly gentleman working made up for that.“
“Neighborhood bar with great food... Great steak sandwich, Caesar salad and white pizza. Was a nice meeting partner to catch up with friends... Relaxing no rush atmosphere. I'll be back...Parking: Street parking... Was easy at lunch time the day before ?“
“Inconspicuous and casual; don't let the simplicity of this place fool you. Their food rocks.Quality ingredients and food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Stop by for a quick meal, and you won't be disappointed. Ralo's a good guy.“
“We went after church on Easter Sunday, and they accommodated our change from 5 top to 6 top (not usually hard I know, but Easter). Service was attentive, especially with Rose popping over to get our drinks and menus, while our server was busy (again, just after church). Casey (server) was amazing. Beyond welcoming, beyond accommodating, and felt almost like a friend. There was special needs person in our party, and Casey made them feel included. We will be back.Parking: Busy on a Sunday after church usually. But free lot surrounding the building like a classic diner“
“Worth the drive.I Love this place. The pizza’s are fresh made to order. The Sicilian is Amazing.They have killer chicken fingers. Their subs are amazing. Packed with fresh sliced meats and cheese. My son LOVES the fries and the Raspberry cheesecake.Take the ride down 443. Clarksville is a beautiful little town and the Best Deli in the Capital district.“
“We need this place in San Diego, California!This is a very cozy and welcoming local gastropub with great eats, excellent drinks, and the staff provide the best service experience I’ve experienced in awhile!!!! Espresso martini’s and other specialty drinks tantalize the tastes buds like never before!!! YUMMY!!!!“
“Didn't know what to expect as i've never been here before but i walked in and saw the newly renovated restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. Sat by the cozy fireplace and I had Allie as a server, she was sweet, informative and attentive! I ordered the half order of wings and they were great, good sauce. I then got the lobster roll and was floored by the flavor. It's fresh and melts in your mouth, i finished the whole plate! Such a hidden gem in a chill upscale environment! Not too expensive at all. Will be back!“
