17 Best American Restaurants near Hagaman

“Big turnoff for us - charging us a big extra charge for credit cards. This is just a money grab, as it costs as much to deal with cash and checks for businesses as cards (just in a different way). Just price according to your business costs, and be glad for paying customers!Otherwise - We had good dinners - a good hearty sized burger platter and some fried shrimp (plenty). Some parts were a bit plain (canned cooked carrots as a veggie, or some old lettuce in the salad), but overall enjoyable food, pleasant service, and a casual atmosphere.“

“Had dinner last evening and it was a delightful experience. My husband and I shared the ahi tuna appetizer which was delicious. I had beet and feta risotto with scallops and my husband had the fried chicken. Both were delicious. I finished my meal with cheesecake and as the rest of the meal was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!“

“We were out looking for a spot for breakfast late on a Saturday morning. We went here at the suggestion of our daughter, who worked her way through school in restaurants. This is a charming, country kitchen that is very clean. It is handicapped accessible. We were greeted by, Rain, the owner. She was very personable and made a fresh pot of decaf for us. While the coffee was brewing we took a look at the menu. It is a combination of traditional diner fare and some breakfast specialty omelettes. Two of the omelettes, the Italian and the Sicilian caught my eye. When Rain came to take our order, I asked if she was Italian, as we are. She replied that she was, immediately asking what part of Italy my family is from, something only one Italian would ask another. I asked if she could make a frittata. She said yes. It was excellent. Rain said she may add it to the menu. A good frittata in the capital district is hard to find. This place checks all of the boxes: great food, service and ambiance. One mile from Thruway exit 27 in Amsterdam. We'll be back.“

“Exploring the Erie Canal Trail, I found this hidden gem in Amsterdam. Ordered two loaded dogs, large fries, and locally made chocolate milk. Fries were great: hot and crisp. Chocolate milk hit the spot and definitely tasted better than what you see in stores. The dogs were outstanding. I can't describe exactly what it was. Definitely the sauce, but more just a great mix and amount of each topping.Best part of the visit though was the hospitality and the local vibe. As I walked up to the door, soaking wet from hiking, I was invited in to dry off inside. Not wanting me to be cold, seeing my sweatshirt was soaked, he literally gave me the shirt off his back and refused to take a dime.As I sat and ate, I listened to the conversations around me. Seemed like all local people, friendly, knew each other. There was a lunch rush, and things were done promptly, but he made time to sit and talk with people and check in on the odd hiker from out of town.Cares about his customers and makes great food. If you're running/walking/cycling the trail, I HIGHLY recommend this spot, especially for lunch.Sidenote: made it to Albany around 4am - in dry and warm sweatshirt. Thanks, this was the best stop on my trip!“

“This place looks bigger from the outside, I swear, but once you get in, it's very cozy and the food is great. Service is excellent, too. I have driven past this place many times and didn't even realize what it was. So if you are in the area and want to go for some good food, stop here.“

“Firstly, I'm local to this gem and had never had a chance to stop in. It's you don't pay attention to the sign you'll miss it while driving by. The inside is cozy and warm. There's a section upstairs with a bridge to cross over the downstairs area where we sat that was very private. It felt very comfortable and out of the way! We were a party of 11 on a busy Friday night. The waitress Michelle was PHENOMENAL. She was fast, timely and very pleasant to deal with. She worked very well under pressure and was so considerate of the amount of people we had. Friendly at all times. Was at our table several times and on top of making sure we had full drinks and our needs were met. The food was amazing. Every single thing was flavorful, cooked the way we had asked and came out hot and fast. The portions were great and the price isn't very bad. I would highly recommend trying this if you want just a drink at the bar or to take the family out for dinner.“

“The minute I walked through the door of the hotel, I felt like I was home. The hospitality was exceptional! The staff was well trained, extremely helpful and very knowledgeable! The chef and his food were exceptional.By far, the devil was in the details, when the owners set their minds in making everyone comfortable.I shall return!Rooms: Absolutely spotless and extremely comfortable.“

“I can’t say enough great things about Creekside. We had my family here after my mother’s funeral and my family enjoyed great food, wonderful service, clean restrooms, and an attentive bar staff. My family raved about the atmosphere and food and how this place was just perfect! This is just a wonderful place to have an event and the chef was just amazing!“

“Good size menu and great prices. Good portions too, burgers are huge. Plenty of seating area. Very nice bar and they have pool table in the back. The food isn’t amazing but it isn’t terrible. It’s just good. But the beer seems like a hit and a nice place to just hang out for a beer. So food is decent but nothing amazing.“

“The food was very good, but this is my second time going there and each time they've messed up my bill and overcharged me. I caught it the first time, and missed it the second time. I didn't get an itemized receipt to verify the charges were correct. I don't think I'd go back because of that reason.“

“The food was delicious. The prices are fair. They toys outside for the children to play with really impressed me. The sitting options also impressed me. The only thing I would recommend is a fan outside for the warmer days as there is not much shade. The cashier was pleasant. I can honestly say this place is really a happy place. ?Kid-friendliness: Lots of toys the little ones can enjoy free of charge.“

“The food is what you would expect from a cowboy dinner, it was a bit pricy for some items. They changed $5 for a can of Miller lite and $4 for a can of Budweiser. My granddaughter had Mac and cheese and it came out in the smallest styrofoam bowl I have ever seen. The food was good just a bit pricy. ??“

“Almost let the outside of the place chase is away..... boy would that have been a big mistake. As soon as you walk in, there is a bar. The bar was filled with locals however, most were friendly and said hello as we walked past. The seating area is small, but quaint. You felt like you were at your old uncle Nino's house. The Wait staff were friendly and courteous, but more importantly, the food was fantastic. Coming from an Italian girl who makes her own sauce, their sauce was a work of art! My highly recommend that if you're in Amsterdam that you've popped in for a taste.“

“I have seen the parking lot packed before but when I went it was not so busy which was a plus. The service was quick and the environment was what we expected. Seemed very family oriented and super casual. The bar seemed vibrant though we we did not sit in that area. Food seemed very American and home cooked like someone’s grandma made it?“

“Amsterdam is the largest town in this area, and the main drag is one of those strips that could be anywhere in the country. With the big box stores, chain restaurants, and gas stations, you wouldn't know where you were if you didn't see a few signs start with "Adirondack..." In the sea of all that, we wanted to find a local spot for lunch, and we're glad Yelp brought us here. We just wanted a couple of sandwiches. The lady running things highly recommended the Chicken Philly (the kid with her seemed too nervous to recommend anything), and we also got a bacon egg and cheese (SPK). Both folks behind the counter were so friendly, and during the 15 minutes or so we waited for our sandwiches, we were the only people they didn't greet by name. They obviously have a number of regulars, and it's no wonder, because the sandwiches were great. I actually thought the BEC was outstanding, and better than the Chicken Philly. In addition to good sandwiches, they've got local pies for sale, all the chips and drinks you'd ever want, and tables inside and out if you decide not to take your food home with you. It's obviously a local gem, and I'm glad we came by.“

“Came to see some friends play and curious about the food...YUM!!!! I had drinks, apps, mains and desserts and coffee. There was only one item I didn't care for and that was completely a matter of personal preference. EVERYTHING else was really satisfying and well-executed and worth the experience. Proteins were well cooked and the seasoning was great. I prefer a crustier bread but I sooooo appreciated being asked if we wanted bread so it wouldn't sit and go to waste if our table wasn't interested. That kind of clarity and thoughtful communication from a server is awesome. You could tell it was a busy night for her and yet it didn't show on her face, in her demeanor or affect the service of our or surrounding tables. Graciousness from start to finish. She was even trying to minimize her movements that might obscure the sightline of tables to the band...wow! That's serious awareness and consideration of others and just wow service, top notch!Over an hour to get to from our home base but I'd go again with or without a band I know playing. Very delicious and thoughtfully sourced dishes for the discerning omnivore. Beautiful atmosphere and exceptional server. Cozy and quaint but not crowded in an uncomfortable way. Can't wait to see what outside hanging is like.Must go...!Thanks for the lovely evening. so yum.“

“The wings here are surprisingly very good and tasty. We were part of a large group and had the opportunity to taste many flavors. For all of them the wings were nicely cooked. It wasn't soggy or soaked in the flavoring. You can always ask for the sauce on the side and the wings alone are great. The lemon pepper rub is one of the best I have tasted. Plus the lady was very very nice and accommodating. Definitely worth the try. The prices are very reasonable.“
