“Today we tried Zia's burgers! This was a great burger! Done perfectly. We had a large order with people over so we had it delivered. The delivery person was on time, very helpful and nice. We had their Salad which was large, delicious and filling. The Chicken Parm sub was so large we have more for tomorrow. Looks like Pizza is not the only thing they do well! Feel free order from their extensive menu, it's all great! See the photo- I love the "Z" on the roll!“

“Chez Mike doesn't disappoint. Often when my husband picks me up at the train station we have dinner there. The cocktails, food and service were as good or better than my meals in NYC and a great value for fine dining in the Capital District. Our server, Cameron, was friendly and attentive even when the place really filled up. Two delicious cocktails, a glass of wine, two appetizers, an entree and dessert were under $120. I actually like the strip mall vibe on the outside hiding the awesomeness inside. Chez Mike is a real find.“

“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.“

“Food was wonderful and the staff super friendly! My husband had a special pot roast grilled cheese and loved it and I had the pita sandwich, which was perfectly put together and delicious! This place definitely lives up to its excellent reputation!“

“Food always consists of plentiful portions served relatively fast. Great for families with kids. Service is pleasant...and there are great views of the Kinderhook creek from the back section. Can be a little noisy at prime meal times when it's crowded- hard on hearing aids...or those with hearing issues. (Off times are much quieter)“

“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 =)“

“We have come here to meet friend s for dinner on several occasions. It's a bar first, restaurant second. Pretty steady regular crowd on weekends...food is what you'd expect. Perfectly fine..nothing outstanding but nothing bad either. Prices are also average- portions are on par with it. Full bar, variety of beers, service is always very pleasant and timely. Place is a little "tired" looking- but always clean!! Can be loud at peak times...hard for anyone with hearing issues.“

“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.“

“One of my favorite places to go out. Excellent food, menu & service. Updating March 2024; I miss the guitar player, Steve. The food, menu & service all still excellent, although this Saturday night when we were seated the dining room was full, everyone was finishing their meals and it was noisy. But within 15 20 minutes 2 tables left & it instantly quieted down and the cozy ambiance was back. Have to admit, sometimes we've been that noisy group! It's all good!“

“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.“

“We called for same day reservations and were pleasantly surprised to be able to get our requested time, especially for a friday evening. The weather was beautiful, and we contemplated eating outside, but they didn't have lights on their outside deck. But that wasn't a problem, as it was getting chillier out. We ran into some friends as we walked inside and were able to add them to our reservation since they had a 4 top available. Our waitress came right over and took our drink order. We ordered the 32 oz Cowboy Steak to share with a side of broccoli, and the other couple ordered the sesame encrusted Ahi Tuna Steak and the prime rib sandwich with au jus dip and fries. Everything came out perfectly done. We expected that our steak would have been thicker, after seeing pictures of it from previous posts, but it filled the plate. There was also a lot of fat to cut around. We ended up taking half of our steak home, but the other couple finished theirs completely. Because we made reservations, we both received complimentary chocolate mousse, which was delightful! We paired it with a nutty Irishman cocktail. We also took the 2nd chocolate mousse to go.The food is Always good at Jack Kellys. Very flavorful. Their soups are also very good, although we did not order tonight. The atmosphere is very casual, as it's a golf country club.“

“Normally the food is 5 star excellent; however, this last visit wasn't. It took a long time to get our entrees and the fries were over cooked in the warmer. Plus, my shrimp was cooked on a dirty griddle, all I could taste was burnt ground beef. Might have just been an off night or they lost some good cook staff. Not sure what's up. We will give them another shot because we dig the menu and food. Trivia night is awesome and fun and the wait staff is great. They made sure our drinks were filled and that we were happy. Hope the kitchen shapes up again.“
