“I'm a fan of, and regularly attend, Naughter's Midnight Breakfast. Whether you are trying to wind down for the day with a cup of coffee and a conversation , want to get a nostalgia hit while searching the impressive collection of cassettes for your favorite artist, or you're an unawakened, "Foodie," there for the daily specials that are [always] worth foregoing your, "Usual;" you'll quickly learn to adopt Naughter's as your last stop in Troy. I traveled around the world with the military, learned to cook like a Southern Italian during Christmases with my family in Foggia, experienced the tremendous variety of cuisines in Asia, but had to travel to a hidden diner in Troy NY to be introduced to my new favorite soup, Vichyssoise.“
“My husband is a breakfast connoisseur and said this is the best breakfast he has had ANYWHERE! The Rocky Mountain Benedict’s was delicious and the Cherry Amaretto pancakes were to die for!! The home is gorgeous and SAM was the best server, hostess all around amazing l person ever! This is a must go and eat when in Albany! 5+++++ stars!“
“Lucky ? to have stopped at The Bunker during our stay in Greenbush. We sat at the bar and our server Lauren was so attentive, friendly and made a delicious dirty martini. The food was excellent! We ordered the salmon tacos and Philly cheesesteak, both scrumptious! Actually, I order fish tacos quite often and these were the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely stop in again when traveling through the are.“
“Love going here. The food is always amazing! Ordered takeout this time and it came with bread and their Olive compound butter, And the end of meal cookies. It's a little touch but no one else does that and it made my girlfriend and me really happy!“
“We decided to try Albany Ale and Oyster House on a chilly, rainy Wednesday afternoon since we had to be on New Scotland Avenue for an afternoon doctor appointment. I'm so glad we did, and also happy we arrived just as they were opening because we were able to sit at the bar and visit with one of the owners, Mia. We tried a flight of beer opting for all pilsners, one each from Italy France, Czechia and from our own New York region; all tasty, just the right amount of foam and nice and chilled. I ordered the Beyond brat which comes with comes with kale slaw and honey mustard, crispy potato chips in a brown paper bag for soaking up the oil and keeping them crispy, and a mixed green salad with the best sesame honey dressing. I love good salads and this one was perfect, with dressing on each lettuce leaf. Mia said they take their salads seriously, and you can tell. My partner had the Reuben and he proclaimed it the best he ever had. Overall the taste, presentation and preparation of the food was perfect. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and the friendliness of the owner and all who work there; Albany Ale and Oyster House is now one of my top favorites in the areaVegetarian options: In addition to the Beyond Brat they offer Beyond Burger and some interesting salads.“
“I Was referred here by some co- workers, came here with my fiance we loved the food, great atmosphere, the owner was super friendly and hospitable from the moment we entered. We will definitely come here again. Looking forward to trying their breakfast.?“
“A southern brunch that was so good. 4 of us went to celebrate a birthday and we all enjoyed it immensely. I had the Dad and it was absolutely delicious. We loved the fried green tomatoes, and the tater tots. I had a bourbon bacon bloody Mary that was out of this world. I can't wait to go back!Parking: Street parking was available and they have a lot behind the building.“
“A very nice restaurant, but generally I don't enjoy their dinner menus. It's a bit too modern for my tastes with unusual and trendy dishes that seem to prioritize unusual ingredients over tasty dishes. That said, if you like that thing, they definitely do it well.I like stopping in for a burger or veggie burger at lunch, but their extended menu just isn't for me. The restaurant is run very well, staff is extremely professional, and the atmosphere is great.“
“My friend and I were grateful that the table requested (booth) was provided. We both had the grilled cheese (we both asked and received the alteration of Swiss cheese only) and the tomato bisque soup. Delicious! Server was appropriately attentive and efficient, and professional.“
“First time at Manory’s today. 10/10 recommended. Place was busy, but it did not feel crowded or long wait. We got seated in less than 3 minutes. Food was amazing. Pancakes were nice and thin and fluffy. The scrambled eggs were perfect and the Sausage as well was amazing with the home fries. Service was great and good did not take long at all to come even with the place busy. In and out eating in a reasonable time. Price is perfect for the 2 of us with coffee and drinks with food came out to 44$. Menu has a ton of options. Can’t wait to come back here!“
“Tried for the first time and loved the food here. We ordered chilaquiles, Fried Fish and the Birria tacos with their Aguas Frescas.The red sauce on the chilaquiles is actually spicy and builds on itself. The Tamarind and Jamacia is great but def recommend the Jamacia.Best Mexican place in Troy!“
“So we decided to go on their Tuesday 3 for 30 special.Cons: The waitress didn't fill up our drinks the entire time we were there and the glasses were right on the edge. I had to finally ask her and eventually she brought them. We also were using a gift card to pay. The waitress told us we couldn't tip using the gift card and there was no alternative way to add a tip which makes no sense since plenty of restaurants can. And she kept taking my phone with her to go discuss the issue which I wasn't comfortable with. Eventually she said she could remove a drink and then make me pay for that in order to leave a tip. I strongly advise to not buy a gift card here!Pros: the chicken Parm was absolutely huge, delicious and a great deal!!! Also the Mac and cheese bites are amazing. Overall the 3 for 30 deal is a Great special. The toffee pudding cake is delicious as well! Food was good! The food also came out very fast.“
“Amazing place, everyone there was very nice and had excellent service. The food was also delicious. My partner and I ordered a turkey club and it was great with a large enough portion to leave us satisfied.If you get the chance, go to Babes. They close earlier than most places you can eat, but it's very worth it. Great prices, great food, great portions and great service.“
“?This is my second time being here with my buddies and I tell you this is one place you got to check out, I love the way it looks inside and the food is amazing, thank you everyone in Savoy!?Parking: It's kind of hard to find parking but it's doable!“
“A small hall in the wall with quality comfort food cooked by a family. This has been family owned and operated for years. Their food is delicious. The service is also very good no matter who your server is. Most of them are family members of each other and they all give you the same quality of service. Their gravy fries are SO delicious“
“We have brunch at the city beer hall, pretty much every week. I am famous for having the same meal every time. The steak and eggs. The steak is always cooked perfectly medium rare. The eggs are sunny side up and delicious. Home fries and a side salad round out the perfect breakfast. My partner also always orders the same meal. Fried chicken with macaroni and cheese. When we go for dinner If you are a French onion soup fan I have a huge suggestion. The French onion soup is what I call a "destination dish " It is a delicious change from the norm. The service is always fast and friendly. The staff is knowledgeable. We have been customers here since the first week and will continue to be. The bar area, the dining room with its communal tables, the patio in the summer time. This has been our go to place for the past 13 years. Keep up the great work, the food, the hospitality, the overall experience is what a beer hall should be.“
“Crab Cakes are amazing .. plenty of lumps of crab and not a lot of breading. Fresh! Most enjoyable.Cobb Salad with grilled chicken .. the salad is fresh. The grilled chicken was a bit heavy on salt.Mac and cheese with cajun chicken and bacon .. it was good.Empire smash Burger is tasty .. also love the home fries that comes on the plate.Thank you, Illusive =)“
“Mouth-watering and thoughtful menu with creative, nuanced and seasonal inspirations for both food and beverage options. I was very impressed by the shishito peppers, general tso’s chicken bites, french dip and the espresso martini. The apps were perfectly battered, crispy and flavorful. The French dip just hit so right- tender meat, savory au jus, warm, perfectly toasted bread. The fries were perfect- exactly what you’d imagine if you are craving fries! And the highlight of our entire night was our bartender Halsey. Her genuine care in curating our experience cannot be matched. She made great suggestions, interjected with playful humor, read when our group wanted time to chat amongst ourselves, and made a PHENOMENAL cocktail. I mean, the most serious espresso martini anyone could hope for without the overstated hipster flair. 10/10. Would go back just for her. Watching her interact with her other bar guests was also a treat- it’s easy to see how she can command the room & keeps a mighty fine bar! Will certainly be back!“
“The 1st time there we sat in the dining area and someone's child was smacking 2 blocks so loudly together people could barely hear each other talk, I felt bad for all the older patrons, as the parents sat and did nothing. Dad finally stopped the chaos after almost everyone in the room was staring their way. The second time we decided to sit by the bar instead and a patron was making disparaging comments to his buddy about LGBTQ at the end of the bar. He couldn't even get the letters in a correct order... it was very uncomfortable, he left before I had to ask to move my seat..“
“Went for breakfast on a very busy Sunday morning. Electricity was out due to ice and snow, so assuming that locals were there because our hotel just up yhe road was out.Food was acceptable. Cooked as ordered. Service was ok. They were filled and people waiting.Wait time was ok as I said they were very busy.Felt good value for price. Will stop again when in area.“
“Went in for a casual lunch and got exactly what I was looking for! The chicken wings were crispy and the bloody mary was ice cold. Service was quick and prices were totally reasonable. I'd definitely go back to try a few other things on the menu.“
“Food is beyond delicious and fresh, we had out of town guests we brought there and couldn't say enough about the food. The service is always right on spot, and the atmosphere is relaxing and fun. The cleanliness is a 10 +++ Can't wait to go back! And OMG the desserts-sinfully amazing!!!“
“Went there for the first time on my scooter and ate inside. Got 4 hot dogs a cookie and a root beer for under 8$ right away. I can stop there any time I'm scooting around doing jobs in the area, I'd run dedicated delivery for them if they had loyal immobile customers. Take out is big here, it's cozy inside though.“
“I went here for my brother's bday. Brought our own cake.Great vibe. Food delicious seriously the best wings in Albany. Wings are fresh n crispy outside juicy inside. Lots of variety flavors. My sister had the shrimp wrap and everything was fresh and taste great. DRINKS are great. And service was excellent. Safe location and clean bathrooms. Big parking lot too right across the street.“
“Parking: The lunch counter is fun and quick with an old fashioned atmosphere. The server pay attention to all that enter the diner. The older atmosphere is clean and amazing to be in there for lunch. The food served is hot with a quickness to get it to each customer.The beverages are ice cold served with a straw. The homemade Greek meat sauce is served on all the hot dogs, hamburgers, eggs dishes.“
“I've tried a few halal places around Albany, but the food at Aria Kabab just kicks. Their meat is so tender, flavorful, and delicious. I love getting their rice platters and the lamb shawarma sandwich; it really reminds me of the times when I used to live in Hyderabad, India. Also, a huge fan of their sauces! I also loveeeee the quantity of the portions.“
“We love it here!! The atmosphere is upbeat, but not noisy. The service is wonderful and the extras are appreciated. They always share a smile and the menu is innovative and changes periodically. This area NEEDS good restaurants that don't serve pizza!!! This is good one. And the bar is wonderful.“
“This place is great. Excellent food and great service. Not over priced but not cheap. They really did a great job with eat in the street. Too bad Cohoes limited that so much because it was a great thing for Cohoes restaurants. Definitely my go to on Remsen St.“
“Some of my co-workers brought me out to The Copper Crow for my birthday! It was a wonderful experience. • Nice host, prompt seating. • Attentive and knowledgeable server. • Extensive draft, cocktail & mocktail list. • Great food, good portions, cooked well. • Excellent desserts. I look forward to going back.“
“This place was fantastic! Had my birthday dinner there tonight and the waitress Julie was amazing!!!!! Can’t wait to come back again!!!!! Thank you so much for making my dining experience a good one I appreciate it! You’re the best!Jess aka Helen“
“Well, they are two for two with our visits and review of 5 Stars! Our waitress, Samantha was our server again. As pleasant and on top of service as before. I went with the pastrami Reuben and my wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. The bread/toasted just crisp, the meat(s) were on the nicely rare side. The sides, steak fries and macaroni salad were excellent!! Real Heinz ketchup, a must with fries! Beverages were on tap. Only slight issue were the nacho and salsa appetizer, chips are just so so and salsa the same. Would not order again. Ambiance was great (big screen TV) and warm decor. Looking forward to another trip soon. Thanks again, love all the locals at the bar too!!“

“It started out a little rocky due to the hostess being confused on who was waiting first and yet they wrote down our names lol but me being me I took over to help and everyone was seated in the correct order. Our waitress was one of the best waitresses that I've had in my life! She was attentive to my children and myself. She laughed with us and gave us her recommendations. The ambiance is cute it has a boat vibe. The challah French toast was good as well as the classic breakfast but the turkey bacon is nasty for sure, I'm not sure what brand they use but they need not to use it any longer.“
“It’s a nice vibe in there. Lots of different types of people and I like the layout of the place. My only thing is that it was really warm in the bathroom like uncomfortably so, but it wasn’t that big a deal, just something I remember noticing. Live music is fire ? I can’t speak on the food I didn’t get any but the mixed drinks were type strong . I would return. Bartenders were quick and friendly enough.“
“Stopped here on a road trip and we are now absolutely heartbroken it’s so far away. Our server Steve was amazing, the food was delicious, and it was just so cozy inside. We will definitely be back to try the prime rib when we’re in the area next.“
“Amazing creative offerings. Sandwiches are great quality. Fries and burgers perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Soups are next level.Staff is friendly and knows a lot of clients by name. Somewhere that they may ask if you want the "usual" but you're going to want to occasionally try something new also.“
“The minute we walked in we were greeted. The menu has something for everyone. The food is made with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy, upbeat but casual. It is a great spot for lunch, dinner, brews or sports. Eat in, take out available. quick and personable service. I highly recommend this diamond in the rough.“
“Had a great meal at Dove and Deer. The specialty drinks were great, I recommend the Dewitt. The inverted nachos were delicious as well as the eggplant special. My favorite of the night was the green curry bowl. So fresh and delicious. I definitely recommend this place.“
“Driving back and forth drove past this place several times finally decided to take the plunge and stop. The minute you walked in, could see it was an iconic place. Like everything else now, it wasn't inexpensive, but it was tasty. Cannot wait to bring my spouse back on the next trip.“
“Went on a Monday for dinner. Large party of 8 and didn’t have a reservation. The hostess was fairly rude to us and gave us attitude for not having a reservation even though the restaurant was visibly open.Otherwise, the service from the waiter, bartender, and food runners was amazing. The food was great especially for it being cheaper than most dinner places.Recommend the quesadillas and the scallops, both were great. Got burgers and wraps too and they were solid.“
“Great place for a date with the hubby, but plenty of families there too (Friday night at dinner hour). Burgers were delicious, beer was great, service was quick and friendly.Parking: There's a lot nearby that was free to park. Not sure if it's free during the day or if you need a permit.“
“Our waitress was really amazing. Bummed that I didn't get her name to shout her out. Came here with a party of 11 and was seated immediately. The monkey bread was my favorite. The wings were decent. Food portion sizes were HUGE. Lively crowd but not too noisey. Enjoyed my time“
“The food was very good, I'd strongly recommend a visit! I'm sad that it's no longer a topless or bikini bar but would still visit again if I'm in the area. If they went back to being topless I'd go out of my way to visit.“
“Sometimes you just want a creative delicious meal that’s perfectly executed and made with fresh ingredients. Scarlet Knife has added more vegetarian/vegan and gluten free options to their farm to table menu thank goodness as now there are lots of options for all. The Winter Greens salad was enjoyable and fully balanced. Nice wine list and live music.“
“What a legendary experience. We were at Hill St Cafe and called to see if they had garbage plates and they did! We were with a friend from Australia that hadn't had a Garbage Plate before so they cooked one up with home fries, Mac salad and burgers that was absolutely delicious. An experience that will never be forgotten and we all appreciate it!!!“
“I am not usually one for chain restaurants but this was not your typical chain experience. I had been to this location once about 6 months ago, and frankly it was very disappointing. We had to send our steaks back because they were horrible, but the regional GM apologized and made it right. Still left a bad taste in my mouth. However, this time I can attest that is was fantastic. I ordered the ribeye and it came out cooked to perfection and was so flavorful. Honestly, this was one of the best steaks I have ever had. I will be going back.“
“I ordered garlic, Parmesan wings from Dutch's Place for lunch today. The wings were even more tender than any other place I have tasted them. And the garlic and Parmesan permeated the wings as well. The only thing missing was the blue cheese sauce. I called Dutch's and they said that I didn't have it listed on my order. I then checked my phone, saw that it was indeed on my order and called GrubHub to confirm it, indeed it was on the order they had. It would've been an extra boost to the wings, which needed no additional support, but would've kicked things up a lot . GrubHub gave me $3.24 off of the bill because of this which was pretty nice. Minus that though, everything was pretty good.“
“The rustic is the place to be, it’s not a fancy restaurant so don’t expect that, it’s a great venue for live music and bar food! I’ve been going for years and I love it! Take your hunny on out get some good drinks and food and have a good time!“
“Best place for great entertainment, good food and friendly service. Check out their Jazz Tuesdays and Sunday brunches. Any venue that promotes and supports musicians with atmosphere and food to match is where I will spend my money and time. Hooray LarkStreet Tavern⭐️.“
“Went for the first time and it hit all my diner needs. I’ve gone to lots of diners in the area (Alexis, Schodack, ect.) and this is by far the best tasting. I’ve gotten home fries from each one and this is the only place that really actually seasons their home fries which if you know you know that makes a big difference! Loved the food, loved our waitress, fairly big and spacious, a bit outdated but hey I’m there for the food not the decor.“
“Love this place. Brittney was a fantastic bartender! Great atmosphere, and surprisingly good food. You can tell everyone loves being there. If you are looking for a neighborhood bar with above average bar food, and amazing service, this is your place!“
