Staff are kind and courteous. The ambience is pretty nice too, so it’s a good option for a date night. Plus outside seating in the summer. And since it’s in Rotterdam, parking is super easy!“

“After enjoying their wings during the Wing Walk I decided to order myself dinner last night. I ordered fried chicken dinner. I had the leg and thigh and they were huge. My dinner came with candied yams, collard greens, potato salad, and a corn bread muffin. Everything was outstanding. I can’t believe I have never ordered from there prior to this. I will be ordering again and making this a staple from now on. Drop everything and order dinner tonight you won’t regret it!“

“Awesome hometown feel of a place. Great trivia. They do tons of other events weekly too. Great beer. They do food trucks which is so neat. But make sure to check website to see if they are having food truck when you go or else they only will have beer. Nice area inside but in the summer and fall they have huge outdoor patio with tons of tables, chairs, fire pits etc. Amazing family place.“

“Came across Scottie's by accident, I'm glad we did, great atmosphere our server was top notch, the food was exceptional, I had the lasagna my wife had ravioli Isabella the owner came out to us boxed our leftovers and made pleasant conversation, we took 2 deserts home with us, lemon cake and cheesecake . Great place! I will be returning.“

“My wife and I popped in there for a little date night. I ordered the Cajan chicken sandwich, my wife the bloomin’ onion burger. We also started with some boneless wings.
The waitress and host were both very kind. Our waitress having just the right amount of attentiveness, not bother some, but making sure we had refills if we needed, just when we needed.
Both of our sandwiches were excellent- my wife’s burger was perfectly medium as she ordered, my chicken sandwich was flavorful and had a wonderful crisp too it. Our boneless wings were nice and crispy. I like them that way personally, I know that’s not everyone’s favorite. The also had a nice selection of cocktails which we didn’t try. They have a good selection of beer, bottled and on tap- a nice wine selection and decent prices.
Over all I think that anyone who spent the time to read this should go check it out!!

Vegetarian options: Every burger there can be substituted for beyond burgers, but I’d be lying if I said everything had a substitution l.“

“The wings were perfect! They had a great deal until 3:30 12 wings 2 beers 20 bucks. I asked for my wings medium and garlic parm tossed together, these were some of the best I have had in the area recently. Will definitely be coming back to try the burger deal (also 20 with 2 beers until 3:30).

Parking: They are working on parking but currently street spots or walk over from Price Chopper.“

“Wagon Train BBQ thank you so much for supporting our troops and their families. Your delicious food that you donated to the soldiers deploying and their families made the day so special for us all. The pulled chicken, beef brisket, and pulled pork were absolutely delicious!!!! Thank you! 💙🇺🇸❤️🙏“

“Hubby brought home food from Karam yesterday for the first time ever...we were blown away! Fresh and absolutely delicious!! So glad hubby works in Schenectady we’ll be regulars! YUM!“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“Kristen is the best of their waitstaff !!!“

“This classic Italian deli offers a delightful dining experience, and their tomato pie is simply unbeatable.

The friendly and attentive staff make the experience even more enjoyable, and the reasonable prices make it a must-visit for any food lover.“

“Their wanton soup has actual healing powers, I'm not even exaggerating. I don't care what illness you are suffering from, get the soup. It will cure you. Also they hands down have the best chinese food on the planet. Ive had friends stay with me from L.A. and they could not believe how good this food was. Just go here and be nice to the staff, this family has been serving Rotterdam for 30+ years. They deserve all the best.“

“So we had an amazing DoorDash order from tops the other night. We usually cook but had the flu so needed no contact delivery. Dolmades were not on the online menu as an add on and we wanted to split a salad and add some on. I called and the waitress was happy to manually add them on if I put in a note & charge accordingly. She did it and they were amazingly fresh, best we’ve ever had. I’m big on trying Rueben’s from different places and this is hands down one of the best corned beef Rueben’s ever. My husband got the chicken sandwich with the basil and pesto I forget what it’s called but tried a bite of that and so fresh. I have always liked tops but in the past but I don’t know if they got new cooks or not because this was above average from the food we’ve had in the past and when I’ve ordered takeout in the past there’s been a thing or two missing. Not now. Everything was hot and fresh and the waitress that ordered was so friendly. I know DoorDash can be difficult because the food may not arrive how the restaurant puts it out but we had an amazing driver too!!! This experience will make us go back. When you are used to eating home cooked meals and you are sick and you get a good meal like that and friendly service it makes such a difference. Thank you! I cannot stress how fresh everything was. So important that the food is checked prior to ensure everything is there and that was done.“

“I'm giving this place 5 stars because the pizza was so good. The hubby and I both liked our slices. I got a broccoli deep dish slice and he got a thin sausage and peppers slice. They had a nice variety of slices ready to go. There were two big negatives though. One, there was no air conditioning, which, in a place with pizza ovens firing, made it extremely uncomfortable to eat there. And two, no free refills on the fountain drinks.

Parking: There is paid street parking but also a free parking lot behind the restaurant.“

“We absolutely loved our food. It was amazing. Eggplant fries were really good. One of the best spanakopita & Rueben. We all got stuff and split it. Was really good. I really liked our waitress, she was sweet with my son. I enjoy waitresses that make you feel really comfortable and she did. This will be our new breakfast spot.“

“sorry I bothered you today I was looking for the Amazon driver.“

“nice local Tavern. always friendly..“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“First time ever!!!! Staff was incredible!!! Food was amazing ( Mac& Cheese with Chicken) The best I have ever had. Most of it came home with us. Definitely a very beautiful Irish establishment. Will definitely be coming back. Worth a 45 minute trip.“

“Food is always excellent and the service can't be beat.“

“Visited for the first time yesterday and was blown away! The space is next level, the beer super delicious and the service was impeccable. Sawyer was the most amazing, caring and fun-loving ambassador of Frog Alley. Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend you stop in if you’re in the area.“

“great curries, summer rolls and pad thai. The Kaeng Pa was way too hot for me to eat, though. Be sure to ask how spicy the dishes are before ordering.“

“This place is a hidden gem! I've never had anything bad from here. My personal favorite are the quesadillas. They are generous in size and absolutely delicious! I've tried several different ones and they are all flavorful and delicious 😋.“

“As always a wonderful experience. The ladies at the front that seated us are always very friendly and accommodating. We sat in Terry's section. He was very knowledgeable of the menu, answered all of our questions and remembered our drinks from last time we dined which was very impressive. Wonderful experience.“

“I recently visited the New Panda Chinese restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with traditional Chinese decor adding to the overall charm of the place. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring that every need was met.

As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and was blown away by the flavors and spices. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I also appreciated the fact that they had plenty of vegetarian options on the menu, making it a great spot for groups with varied dietary preferences.

Overall, I highly recommend New Panda for anyone looking for an authentic Chinese dining experience. The quality of the food, service, and atmosphere make it a standout restaurant in the area.“

“just ordered for the first time and it was delicious. I've been looking for some real NYC/NJ pizza. this was it. absolutely amazing. will be ordering again for sure“
