50 Best American Restaurants near Guilderland

“Delicious food, fair prices, friendly staff. Always a good experience.“

“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.“

“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“

“I went for a party last night.Service was impeccable.The food was good.The wine was cold and the pizza will make me drive forty five minutes just to have it again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“lovely atmosphere with delicious gourmet American cuisine. it was a lovely new year dinner. staff very friendly“

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

“The food was INCREDIBLE. The gumbo was amazing; I also got a tuna steak that was plated incredibly and extremely well done. The cocktails- both the bees knees and the old fashioned - weren’t too sugary and made quickly and had very unique twists. Most importantly, the service was top notch. I sat at the bar and the bartender was highly attentive; one of the chefs even came out and asked about the food; and the atmosphere was full of locals and people who genuinely loved being there and clesrly had rapport with the whole staff. I’ve only written two reviews ever, and this is one of them.“

“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!“

“I've drove past this place a bunch of times, thinking about stopping in but never did till last week. Grabbed a cpl slices. Wow, it was so good had to stop in again today. Their pizza is perfect! Many other things like boar's head sub or sandwich and lots of desserts to choice from also. I highly recommend“

“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!!“

“Good food , friendly workers , good prices“

“Very Good Spot Eat, the entire bourbon crew is great. Sara stuck out to me, I asked her the special and she made sure the Caesar Salad had no tomatoes which is great because I dislike them. Overall I’d give Sarah a 10/10 for service and making sure my order was correct. Thank you to the entire Bourbon Crew 💯“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Always excellent food, service and friendly too. Highly recommend you trying as it will become a fast favorite.“

“Admittedly did not expect to find this gem of a place during our one night trip to Albany for an event. We were exhausted and thought the hotel restaurant would just have to do. Most US based restaurants sorely disappoint in food quality. Mr D’s was truly an exception. The service we received from the time we got in (and were the last two to be seated for the night) was remarkable. From the hostess (Kiosa) to our servers (Jada and Sophie), those were key to our amazing experience. Once we sat at our table where we requested to be away from the noise and door, we knew we were in good hands. The wine selection was curated and Jada knew how to help me pick from a couple of bottles I was not aware of which showed thoughtful training. We ordered the lamb shank special. Which as a south East Asian, I get terrified when non-Asians cook a South Asian inspired flavour fusion. We were glad fully delighted and the corn side was perfectly spiced as well. What stood out to me was my steak and chips which came with one of the best au poivre sauce I’ve had to date. It was not pepper forward but instead felt like an elegant glaze of tender flavours allowing the steak to shine.

Again, utterly surprised by how good the food AND the service was at Mr D’s. If we’re ever passing through Albany again, this is certainly on our list of places to go! Truly, kudos to the team for building talented staff and curating a delicious menu.“

“We made reservations by leaving a voice message, which we were called right back within an hour to confirm the reservation that we wanted and they were able to accommodate us. When we walked in, we were greeted by a very nice woman who brought us to our very comfortable booth, which we loved. Our server was Montana and I have to say she went above and beyond. Her service was top-notch and she should be recognized for that. She had a very bubbly personality, and she even sang me a birthday song. The food was extraordinary. The servings were absolutely huge. We were able to bring them home and put them in two Pyrex dishes that’s how much food there was. I feel like they gave us half a tray of eggplant. I mean it was a really big serving for everything I feel like that and itself having quality food and such a big quantity is really worth it, some places you pay these prices and you get very small portion where this was a whole next day dinner for our whole family. The only smallest thing we thought the breading for the eggplant and chicken parm was on the salty side but everything that didn’t have the breading was extraordinary. The tomato basil sauce was so good. The cavatelli was really good. Sauce was amazing. The bread was so fresh. I do think this is my favorite Italian restaurant in Rotterdam at this point.“

“Northern Barrell has good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. Whether you’re going out for a fun night at the bar, a family dinner, or a business meeting; Northern Barrell is the spot to go!“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

Reasonable fair pricing with quality comfort food that reminds me of the great diners I grew up with.neighborhood gathering place. Brings back nostalgia! Need more places like this! Small family run. Check it out! And relax like the good ole days with good ole food!! I'll be back!“

“Amazing gem in Schenectady! They don’t make places like this anymore and I mean, 103 years in business must mean they are doing something right! Simple no thrill diner food that’s delicious in every aspect and super affordable! It’s the place you go where everyone knows your name and order as you walk in the door. It’s the place you go for a solid meal, at a reasonable price and where your patronage feels valued. Excited for my best meal here in the very near future!“

“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!!!!“

Several staff members came up to me afterwards to complement the quality of the food. We have gotten family dinners from. Maisies' before and I definitely recommend them, as well. Everything is freshly prepared, homemade, and delicious. Such a great asset to our community!“

“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!“
