“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.“

“Stopped in Schenectady on our way through the Erie Canal and a local friend picked us up and took us to Chez Nous. My goodness...if you want a dinning experience with amazing service, tasteful ambiance and food that you could never make for yourself then go here. Quality Quality Quality ❤️“

“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!“

“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“

“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 girlfriends and I enjoyed a fun evening yesterday--service was great, friendly staff and manager, food was outstanding, and great ambiance. Looking forward to next time!“

“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 💯“

“Good food , friendly workers , good prices“

“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.“

“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!“

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!“

“My wife and I went out for dinner for our Anniversary. Very diverse menu...everything tasted great. Server was super pleasant and helpful. Noise level in the dining room was a little high since it looked to be a baseball team there with their families eating after their game! Will definitely go back and also try their take-out pizza side next time“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“😋Great food, as usual...Rack of Lamb was perfect as well as the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Scallops. Specialty drinks from the bar are superb and there are many draft beers to choose from including many from local craft breweries...😋“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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. ❤️“

“Best food. Best price. Great atmosphere“

“great food and nice and clean“

“The burgers were excellent! However, the service was very slow.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My most favorite restaurant. The salads , prime rib, hummingbird cake. I so look forward to going to dinner there. It is such a wonderful place and so cozy. It is our favorite. ❤️“
