50 Best American Restaurants near Glenville

“Had our wedding reception here this past weekend-service was exceptional, food was incredible, and Taylor went above and beyond to try and make sure everything was perfect for us. Guests told us it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. Highly recommend“

“Great and friendly service!“

“The food here is super yummy. At any time of the day. I really enjoy the pancakes and the pies. The atmosphere is very homey. The staff is super kind, friendly, and very accommodating. I am a really really picky eater, and they always do a good job at making sure I am satisfied with my food order.“

“My husband and I chose to eat lunch at Glenville Applebee’s today. We had an amazing server named Sarah! The restaurant was short-staffed, but she made up for it as best she could. She brought a smile and a happy demeanor every time she came to our table or was serving another table.
While we were finishing our meal, Sarah discovered that a group of people walked out without paying their bill. Although obviously upset about it, she handled the matter professionally.
Not only should Sarah see a financial “thank you” come her way, She should TRAIN other servers how to exhibit GRACE UNDER PRESSURE. My husband and I were greatly impressed.“

“This restaurant is Schenectady’s Best kept secret. I’ve been there several times for lunch and it never disappoints. The service is spot on from when you walk in the door, no pun intended but I’m in a wheelchair(handicap accessible) to when you are leaving, opening doors and exchanging goodbye pleasantries. The place itself is immaculate, shiny floors, beautiful atmosphere, great background music and above all delicious food you know is prepared to order. While being there for lunch, I ordered off the dinner menu with no problem, as the staff is extremely accommodating. The menu includes a wide variety of options to satisfy every palate.
Next time you’re looking for a great, quiet and delicious place for lunch or dinner, give Chez Nous a try you will not be disappointed. They have private spacious rooms for small private events and I will reiterate the place is spotless and extremely comfortable with GREAT FOOD!
Thank you and Buon Appetite!

“Broadway lunch has been one of my favorite places for years. Their to go orders are always perfect and always hot and very quickly prepared and ready. They have the best hotdogs and meat sauce, onion rings and coleslaw! That’s my number one order! I should branch out more, I am sure they have many more wonderful things on the menu. Along time ago I used to get their Buffalo chicken wrap which was heaven! With onions, tomatoes and the Buffalo wing sauce. Sooo good!“

“Absolutely delicious every single time. Laid back artistic atmosphere, great people, the chefs do an amazing job. If you order medium steak you get a medium steak right on the money. Thank you Maxons for another great dinner for our family!“

“the food is amazing the service is great“

“Wow! What a busy night! These should be nothing but compliments for the staff, in the front of the house, and behind the scenes. It seems the autumn light show down the road has had quite an impact. We went on a whim, disregarded the suggested reservations, but were able take seats right away at the end of the bar. Best of both worlds....A little bit of patio atmosphere and dining room comfort as the temperatures began to drop. And a glimpse at the extra hard work involved this evening. Praises to Jennifer as she greeted us, offered us something to drink, and advised us if we were ordering there would be an extended wait, (a large number of parties, and parties with a large number of people, seem to have arrived all at once). She said she would rather be up front with people than to have them disappointed with a wait. The expected delay was explained to every party that entered following us It was amazing to watch the coordinated efforts of the three waitresses working as a team. There was no time for idle chit chat while disregarding the needs of customers, but there was still time for smiles and laughter. Work behind the counter was fast, deliberate, efficient and the customers had no sense of stress or overwhelm. Each interaction I overheard was friendly and attentive. Another thing that I was impressed with, especially sitting at a bar, is that with an extended wait, those who were drinking, alcoholic beverages , were not pushed or encouraged to purchase more than usual to fill the time. Therefore the environment around us remained the same. Our meals came in the time projected, (mine a crock of french onion soup and my husband, a Roadhouse burger with onion rings.) Each item as tasty as we have come to expect. I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for an enjoyable evening.“

“Dairy Circus is always wonderful!! Large portions, reasonable prices (so uncommon these days), and the girls behind the windows are always so sweet! They also have the best toasted coconut dip! Thank you so much for being a place where our family can gather for a delicious treat!!“

“We were blessed to be married here. Cindy did an INCREDIBLE job with literally everything. From decorations, to planning, to cooking. Everything was beyond amazing and more than we could’ve hoped for. We loved working with her and had the wedding of our dreams because of her. We wish we could relive it honestly! What an amazing day🤍“

“The Charlton Tavern has a rustic pub charm vibe throughout. The French Onion Soup is outstanding!! We went on a Tuesday (not super busy) night for dinner, we had reservations (which I highly recommend). Three of us orders burgers, which were cooked to perfection, fries and onion rings. The other two in our party ordered fried haddock, perfect crispy outside with a great crunch. Chocolate Mousse (smoothie, rich and creamy) and Chocolate lava cake (decadent chocolate lovers treat) for dessert rounded out our meal. Definitely plan to go back to experience more of their menu.“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Had an excellent dinner this evening at C & R. Started with a red wine sangria for me and a Heineken for my companion. We both ordered from the "specials" list.....broiled salmon for me, filet mignon for him. We both had salad with a tasty raspberry vinaigrette, companion also had a cup of Manhattan clam chowder. His steak was cooked perfectly to his specification (charred on the outside, medium on the inside.....not easy to do with a steak on the small side but the chef managed to pull it off). It was accompanied by french fries. I was presented with 2 beautiful pieces of salmon filet. There was no sauce or glaze on it but it didn't really need any. It was moist and delicious. And the vegetable medley served with it was also delicious. And it was all available at a very reasonable price.“

“I tried them the other day and it so honestly good quality food! Definitely will order again“

“Al's Roadhouse is absolutely awesome!!! We have played there a couple times now, and really hope we continue to get booked there. The crowd is always into it. The food and drinks are great. The atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been there, you're cheating yourself out of a fantastic place!!!“

“Great Food, Great Prices and Great People.“

“Nice restaurant in Amsterdam, NY. Food was good. I had Tacos and family had quinoa salad, chicken and fries. We loved the dinner. The price was reasonable. It was evening of september so some bugs attracted to light in outside sitting but was not much of a bother. Overall nice place to have a dinner in the area.“

“Staff is always pleasant and welcoming. My mother and I go there at least once a month and the food is always yummy!“

“Just had the Mac n cheese with brisket, I eat a lot of BBQ but this was the BEST I have ever had! Perfect blend of smoke and seasoning! Highly recommend!! And they gave us the last of the brisket for free! Good people!! 🐷“

“11-14-2025 My mom had a hair appt close by today so I picked her up to have lunch at The Bellvue Cafe. She had chicken soup and a Rueben with fries. She raved about all of it. Some of the best chicken soup around imo. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. I loved seeing her enjoying all of her meal! I had chicken soup and the brisket pot roast. The carrots, onions, celery and taters were all cooked perfectly and not mush. The brisket was so tender I just used my fork. Mom took half her soup and Rueben home as she couldn’t finish it all. She did enjoy the rice pudding with whipped cream for dessert too. What an enjoyable day! 10 outta 10!!!!“

“Just had the BEST iced vanilla latte that I have EVER had in my entire life 🧋“

“I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.“

“Been eating here 35+ years! Every time I come home to Schenectady it’s the place I eat. Been on the food network!!“

“Best Burgers around! Everything was delicious. And Jenna and Brooke are also AWESOME“

“Stopped in as we just moved into the neighborhood. Great place. Food was great,the staff were very friendly and nice . Great service! We will be back!“

“First time checking out this spot. Loved it! Used to be an old mill! I had the brisket tacos…melts in your mouth! I will definitely be back next time I’m up here!“

“Got from grub hub on a whim. The rueben was really good. Great presentation even after delivery and it was hot and fresh when it got here and we are in Bellevue. We will definitely order again!“

“I love this restaurant. The food is great! I highly recommend it!“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“When on a quiet night with three adults and four children. Was not busy. Food did not take long and was delicious. Our server / waitress was phenomenal and funny. Salad bar was fresh and loaded. The cheeseburger I had was fantastic. Only downside was they didn't have fountain drinks or water unless it was out of the bottle. Not their fault although with the limitations especially for children I didn't expect to get charged what we did for every drink. Normally yes. But it's not our fault that your machine is broken. Four kids drink a lot of chocolate milk lol. Anyway that's more of a management complaint then with anyone that we dealt with. Our experience was good. Although I generally avoid chains this particular Ruby Tuesday's always seems to deliver.“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“Everything is always delicious. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious“

“Good food. very roomy and clean. prices very reasonable too. Highly recommend.“

“I want to thank Jeremy for hosting a wonderful party for my husband 65th birthday. We had 35 people and he made sure we didn’t want for anything. It was an amazing place to have a family event. The food was fantastic, laser tag, mini golf and the arcade were a big hit with both the children and the adults. The service was spectacular. Everyone had fantastic time.“

“My first time in Schenectady, such a great quaint town with tons of history. I was in town to meet with my daughter for dinner and they had the night market. I was with my pup chose this place for their and outdoor seating, they were very super friendly, the service is excellent and the food was delicious, definitely will be back.“

“All glory to God and thanks to Dr MOMOH Bernard healings, i purchased his medicine for herpes a month ago and now i am completely cured without any side effect. I recommend his medicine, the medicine is not that bitter and it works very fast just like healing from God almighty.“

“The hotdogs are very good! They are tasty and the meat sauce is amazing“

“Thank you for the delicious Haddock stuffed w/crabmeat today absolutely Fabulous❤️Thank you Chef!“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

“I went to Raindancer. Amazing appetizer. The salad came if they took other people’s left over salad & just threw it on a plate. Sloppy presentation. Waitress apologized saying she had to prepare the salad. No one was working in the kitchen. Then the 12 oz Prime Rib was full of fat. Manager just cut the fat off & told us she prepared another Prime rib. We were charged full price for the meal, that took long. The had was small and barely noticed it was stuffed. Disappointed. The food & service usually is great. Don’t known what happened.“

“We just had my daughters rehearsal dinner here, absolutely amazing from start to finish. We started with appetizers of oyster Rockefeller and corn fritters. Our main course was shrimp Risotto, or steak. We finished with home made cheese cake for dessert. Again, thank you so much. What an amazing and absolutely delicious meal!!!!“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“mike and I love coming here for Sunday brunch. The food is always delicious. it is a family owned restaurant and they are all so nice.“

“Excellent classic diner experience. Food was exactly as it should be. Home fries were fluffy and not greasy (and NO peppers!). Eggs and hash and bacon all treated with respect. And a bargain to boot, coffee and breakfast for two for $23, we left a double tip for the great food and service.“

“In the past year, I’ve ordered an appetizer, the flatbread pizza at least 3 times. It’s always been delicious with just a little bite to it. Tonight I ordered it and it was excessively spicy hot. My tongue and lips were on fire! We told our waiter and he said he’s had other complaints this past week about it being very spicy hot. I couldn’t even eat it. My husband switched meals with me. The waiter did ask if I’d like something different but seeing my husband switched it wasn’t necessary. Has this menu item been changed?“

“serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.“
