“All 3 of the Mac and cheese where watery and the steak one of us ordered wasn't cooked right. The waitress we had was very nice. We were supposed to get a vet discount but didn't get it. Was told we would get a partial refund for it. But haven't received anything yet. It's been 12 days now.“

“delicious food and amazing atmosphere. I love this oasis, it is a lively place with elegance and still peaceful for business meetings“

“So, this PR girl asked where I could get a good Reuben. 5 people recommended Illusive. You'd never know it was there unless you looked for it. Boy, was I not disappointed. The best Reuben I've ever had. Bought 3 to share with building managers. I'm sure they will also start going too.“

“Delicious meal and top notch service by Tabatha and her crew.“

“Our server ,Tina, provided exceptional service . She was so kind to my brother who frequents this location and loves it . She even brought the whole staff out to sign happy birthday to him making his day even more special. Great job to her !“

“This is the best food in Troy. Everytime I go the food is absolutely amazing and ive never ordered the same thing twice, because I want to try everything! The owners really care about quality, great flavor, and their customers and they show it in every dish. The coffee is also really great, coffee cake and raspberry white chocolate are my go tos. The line should be out the door every day! The owners are also the nicest people, I usually see Joey when I go in and he is so friendly and really want to make every experience you have great. Skip the long line across the street and have the best breakfast youve ever tasted, everything on the menu is delicious !“

“The food was sooo good! excellent service by our waiter. Will return!“

“had a lovely lunch there and enjoyed all the amazing food and drinks. Definitely recommend“

“The best cocktails in Albany! (Get the Capital City Renewal!) I had the best birthday dinner there tonight. Thanks to the team for making it special. The appetizers were incredible!“

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Telkwa and Smithers. I probably spend far too much money then I should here, but I absolutely love it. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is great, and don't even get me started on the coffee and the food. I don't know if I've had anything that I didn't like from here. I've tried pretty much everything from the pies, meat pies, the freshly made sourdough bread that is just delicious, and the burgers on Fridays. You also have things like the cookies, the brownies and so much more. On top of all of that there's even a lot that I have yet to try, the ice cream being one of them. She even went on vacation for a couple of weeks and that was probably the longest couple of weeks without a good coffee. Oh yeah and I almost forgot, the breakfast wraps are absolutely delicious. You got to try them. Try anything try everything try it all, I'm sure you'll love it.“

“Greg and his entire staff did an amazing job on my husband's party! Everything was great! The food was phenomenal and the service couldn't have been better! Please contact Greg for parties or catering! You will not be disappointed!“

“Instead of recommending the restaurant or not I wish I could rate it with stars. I would give a 3.75 the food was the good. The service was good. The atmosphere was good. Nothing was stand out amazing. For the price I would think the entrees would come with a salad or bread for the table but they do not. Drinks of course were expensive as anywhere but I got the smallest pour of wine I’ve probably ever received. We went for a special occasion and I wish we would have went somewhere else. Maybe I’ll try again with friends again for lunch and hope for a better experience.“

“My family and I had the most amazing dining experience here at Normanside. The staff is extremely friendly, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere is perfect. Great job team Normanside. Highly recommend anyone to come in and experience it for yourself!!!“

“What a dining experience! From our hostess, Koisi who set the tone to our server, Susan, who paid attention to every detail, to the manager, Dianna, who attended to my allergy needs, this was a night to rememeber. HUGE shout out to Chef Gary and his Korean Salmon bites and penne Ala pesto! As a vegetarian who needs to be gluten free, I was floored to find a restaurant with such flavorful choices. Thank you for paying close attention to my allergy/sensitivity needs and to having the manager double check. I've never had that happen. I hope others take notice of this exceptional chef and dining experience.“

“beautiful venue with great food“

“Good food, clean, friendly staff,decent prices.“

“We've returned to this charming diner over and over, and it never fails to impress! It has that classic coffee shop vibe we cherished back in the day. The homemade cooking truly shines here—it’s comfort food at its finest. You can’t help but love the welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.

Katie, one of our favorite servers, is a true gem! She remembers all her regulars by name and always greets them with a warm smile. And the desserts? Absolutely divine—you can’t leave without trying one!

Everything about this place is on point: the cleanliness, the delicious food, and the attentive waitstaff who treated us with kindness and speed. Our meals arrived quickly and at a fantastic price. With such friendly service and mouthwatering dishes, we can’t wait to come back for another visit!“

“Naughter’s is a great place to get breakfast the morning after a night out, for first date, catching up with an old friend, or brunch with your mom.

Everything is priced well and the food is always so yummy. I love looking around at all the art while waiting for the food to come to the table.

Favorite breakfast spot in Troy!!“

“I was introduced to this deli when my mother-in-law was in a rehab facility and had a craving for a turkey sandwich. She loved their sandwiches and desserts that now when she is back living at home in Colonie we travel to the deli and get lunch for our family. Service, food and culture are always great! Highly recommend this deli.“

“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.“

“My husband and I had such a great dining experience last night. The appetizers were amazing. The halibut was delicious and my husband loved the tuna special. We thoroughly enjoyed the staff and wish I had been able to try the pear flambé but I was just too full. Looks like we need to come back next Saturday!“

“Great food and service. They had no problem changing a menu item to leave out the garlic. [allergy]“

“best mac n cheese in Albany! they treat you like family. the food and kindness will soothe your soul and you'll keep coming back.“

“First time here in a very cold evening, it’s like on the back of a building, there’s a park in front of the store, and across the street from it is a huge building with a clock on top that could be an old train terminal.
The chef was really friendly and the chicken sandwich meal was delicious, my daughter was a picky eater, and she just killed that sandwich, the chicken was crispy and tender inside, it was so food, since it’s a cold day we didn’t bother to order ice cream pops, we will definitely come back with friends and visit this eatery again.“

“great food and I had a turkey wrap“

“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“

“Fun place to hang out, whether you play golf or not, it's so much more than that. Great food, great vibes!“

“Its date night , so we stopped for dinner before the STYX concert and our waiter Shawn ( Sean?) was superb ! Ordered a Peach Bellini that was dynamite ! Like a frozen dessert ! Hubby had a pineapple mule that was stupendous also . The fish tacos were very good ...texture and taste were spot on . The fish and chips were excellent . The fried fish was delightfully light , not heavy . The coleslaw was bland but everything else was yummy . And finally, we had to get dessert . Decided on pineapple upside down cheesecake . Absolutely fabulously delicious!“

“It was a very good place to eat for lunch and respectful workers“

“My parents started taking me here since I was only enough to remember. Now as an adult I use it to catch up with good friends and eat my favorite foods with such good prices! prices! I even introduced a few to this classic spot and they always ask when we're going back. Food that always hit the spot-5 Stars every time.“

“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.“

“We can’t say enough about this place! My boyfriend and I had our first date here so it’s very special to us. We had a gender reveal here back in November and they brought out ice cream with blue sprinkles and sang to us. I went there yesterday; bought a slice of cheesecake and asked if they could put a candle in it and bring it out as a surprise for mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary. Not only did they do this but they also gave us an “anniversary” discount. Thank you for helping us make our special dinners even more special with your cooperation. ❤️“

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕“

“Best food. Best price. Great atmosphere“

“I’ve been looking forward to checking out the restaurant, Dove & Deer, since I first encountered their food when their chef was highlighted at the annual Summer Gala fundraiser here in Hudson last year. Their chef served an incredible amuse-bouche with gooseberries and the chef who was there sharing the amuse-bouches was wonderfully charming and the food was incredible! I was so impressed that I’ve been following their social media since then and have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant all the while! I was recently in the area and while I unfortunately wasn’t able to visit the restaurant in person- I was able to order through Door Dash and the meal was incredible! We ordered an assortment of things to share and were thrilled with everything! -Spicy Kale Caesar with shredded kale, croutons, and shaved parmesan! -Truffle Parm Fries with scallions and truffle aioli! -Mini Wagyu Beef Hotdogs made with wagyu beef, served in buttery toasted buns, and topped with mustard, ketchup, and relish! -Hot Lobster Dip made with lobster claw and knuckle meat, gruyere, gouda, fontina, spinach, scallion, and crispy wontons! It is often very difficult for a restaurant to adjust their menu to translate to takeout; and for them to do so where every single dish was not only delicious but also mostly with a great presentation, says a great deal about their attention to detail. This is a restaurant I look forward to dining at again many more times over the years!“

“There are other things on the menu, but don't be a doofus, get the hotdogs with onions, mustard and chili sauce. Duh.

Gus's is a legendary culinary institution in blue collar Watervliet. It is greasy, messy, inexpensive, unhealthy, and monumentally a must-do Capital District bucket list visit. I grew up across the river in Troy, NY, but I've lived in Central Virginia for 20 years. I visit Gus's every time I return to visit my family.“

“Awesome spot 💯 Food and prices were exceptional, the bartender was super friendly, and she was even cool with me taking over the jukebox for about 45 minutes 😂 Would go out of my way to stop again!“

“Samson's Motto should be: Service that Sells!!!! Food quality, quantity, service and pricing beyond expectation!“

“Had the gnocchi bolognese and the 110 Margarita (well 2 of those). The food was really good and the margaritas were probably the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely return!“

“Our first time in and we are so happy we chose to stop! The pork chop dinner was fantastic!! Our waitress, Breadan, was awesome! She made our experience perfect! We wouldn't change anything about our visit ❤️ -Richard and Jeannie (see, I have to spell my name for everyone too 🙃)“

“Great food, fresh ingredients, no table service but plenty space to sit down in or outside. I'd recommend the chicken shawarma, hummus and pita or any grill sandwich

Vegetarian options: Falafel, different salads, hummus and pita, veggie platter or grilled sandwiches

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp next to the main entrance of the building, restrooms stall wide enough for handicap people in wc“

“Always a great time. Awesome service, awesome atmosphere. Kaitlyn was fantastic!“

“amazing cabbage best yams everything on point“

“First time here. Delicious food. Professional and super friendly waitstaff. Really good beers! Great atmosphere! Don’t pass this to lace by!“
