“Go there on Saturdays for breakfast. Have never been disappointed in the food, service and atmosphere. You are always welcomed by Chris and Ron and also the patrons. It's like everyone is family there. Great place, great price great people.“

“BEST hot dogs I’ve ever had and their food is great! Highly recommend this place.“

“This restaurant is Schenectady’s Best kept secret. I’ve been there several times for lunch and it never disappoints. The service is spot on from when you walk in the door, no pun intended but I’m in a wheelchair(handicap accessible) to when you are leaving, opening doors and exchanging goodbye pleasantries. The place itself is immaculate, shiny floors, beautiful atmosphere, great background music and above all delicious food you know is prepared to order. While being there for lunch, I ordered off the dinner menu with no problem, as the staff is extremely accommodating. The menu includes a wide variety of options to satisfy every palate.
Next time you’re looking for a great, quiet and delicious place for lunch or dinner, give Chez Nous a try you will not be disappointed. They have private spacious rooms for small private events and I will reiterate the place is spotless and extremely comfortable with GREAT FOOD!
Thank you and Buon Appetite!

“Great food and service. Their soup is always delicious.“

“We came to Innovo Kitchen to give a restaurant Review under Phantom Gourmet Travel and I had the North Shore roast beef sandwich with garlic parm tater tots have to say WOW hands down delicious and my business partner had The Monte Cristo Burger with chopped salad WOW delicious Hands down 💯 on both dishes. The service from Lia M. is absolutely incredible, The Atmosphere is amazing, customer's seem to enjoy it because it's almost a full house! We spoke with some customer's in the parking lot and we got awesome feedback! We recently experienced their Food Truck Also! The Homemade Dark Chocolate Bark with Cranberries and Almonds that they make in House they give you when they give you your bill is absolutely delicious and they should sell that for customer's to purchase!“

“The Charlton Tavern has a rustic pub charm vibe throughout. The French Onion Soup is outstanding!! We went on a Tuesday (not super busy) night for dinner, we had reservations (which I highly recommend). Three of us orders burgers, which were cooked to perfection, fries and onion rings. The other two in our party ordered fried haddock, perfect crispy outside with a great crunch. Chocolate Mousse (smoothie, rich and creamy) and Chocolate lava cake (decadent chocolate lovers treat) for dessert rounded out our meal. Definitely plan to go back to experience more of their menu.“

“Wow! What a busy night! These should be nothing but compliments for the staff, in the front of the house, and behind the scenes. It seems the autumn light show down the road has had quite an impact. We went on a whim, disregarded the suggested reservations, but were able take seats right away at the end of the bar. Best of both worlds....A little bit of patio atmosphere and dining room comfort as the temperatures began to drop. And a glimpse at the extra hard work involved this evening. Praises to Jennifer as she greeted us, offered us something to drink, and advised us if we were ordering there would be an extended wait, (a large number of parties, and parties with a large number of people, seem to have arrived all at once). She said she would rather be up front with people than to have them disappointed with a wait. The expected delay was explained to every party that entered following us It was amazing to watch the coordinated efforts of the three waitresses working as a team. There was no time for idle chit chat while disregarding the needs of customers, but there was still time for smiles and laughter. Work behind the counter was fast, deliberate, efficient and the customers had no sense of stress or overwhelm. Each interaction I overheard was friendly and attentive. Another thing that I was impressed with, especially sitting at a bar, is that with an extended wait, those who were drinking, alcoholic beverages , were not pushed or encouraged to purchase more than usual to fill the time. Therefore the environment around us remained the same. Our meals came in the time projected, (mine a crock of french onion soup and my husband, a Roadhouse burger with onion rings.) Each item as tasty as we have come to expect. I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for an enjoyable evening.“

“the food is amazing the service is great“

“My sisters and I went there to try it out and we had an amazing experience! The staff was so friendly. Our food was delicious! We will definitely be going back!!! The owner even came over and said hello!“

“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.“

“First time at Bourbon Street, and the food was amazing, the staff was really friendly and very attentive… A really nice neighborhood bar!“

“Enjoy the good service & food. 👍“

“Wings wings wings utica club“

“Cobb Salad - generous and delish - allthe classic ingredients including nice chunks of avacado!“

“Yummy food!! Awesome service!“

“Delicious food, fair prices, friendly staff. Always a good experience.“

“Just had the Mac n cheese with brisket, I eat a lot of BBQ but this was the BEST I have ever had! Perfect blend of smoke and seasoning! Highly recommend!! And they gave us the last of the brisket for free! Good people!! 🐷“

“THE BEST FOOD EVER! FOOD TIME!“

“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.“

“Food was delicious and well presented. Lighting was wonderful for a quiet relaxing dinner. Our waitress was very attentive and well prepared when we came into the restaurant and one of the guests has a mobility scooter. Making this one of our favorite spots to dine out. Also opened on Monday where many other restaurants are closed.“

“Food is amazing Staff is incredible“

“Had our wedding reception here this past weekend-service was exceptional, food was incredible, and Taylor went above and beyond to try and make sure everything was perfect for us. Guests told us it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. Highly recommend“

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

“I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.“

“Been eating here 35+ years! Every time I come home to Schenectady it’s the place I eat. Been on the food network!!“

“Friends recommended this place to us and we were not disappointed. Very clean, great portions, very nice waitress. Prices were great for the quality and quantity of food we received. We will definitely be returning!“

“Definitely stands out at the food court. Very unique flavors for a traditional corn dog. Got the spicy Cheeto and the churro. Both were surprisingly delicious. Want to try the ramen flavor for next time we go. Didn’t use the express order section, but wish I tried it to see if it was a more convenient way of ordering. Definitely recommend for anyone that loves trying something new, and who obviously loves corn dogs.“

“We both have to say that every serving of our dinners from soup, salad, the bread, meal and dessert was exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I ever had. Outside seasoned perfectly and grilled, the inside was soft as butter. Delicious!“

“great food and nice and clean“

“Took my dad here for his 50th birthday, group of 4 and it was less than $120. All of us got a decent amount of food, plus an order of wings. Service here was top notch, shout out to Katherine for her great service. They sent out free samples every 30 mins and for our first time going we got to try one of their Brownies. The samples were great, especially the apple cobbler, the brownie was also solid. The actual bbq was pretty good, I'd personally recommend the pulled pork and the smoked turkey. The brisket was a little dry, it was a lean cut, and the wings tasted great but also just a little dry, but not bad by any means. We also really appreciated the free sandwich cards for our next visit, will definitely come back to use that.“

“Got from grub hub on a whim. The rueben was really good. Great presentation even after delivery and it was hot and fresh when it got here and we are in Bellevue. We will definitely order again!“

“I came in for brunch with my year old son and was welcomed with such a friendly welcome! Received a menu along with a child menu with crayons ! Absolutely amazing to keep him occupied while I order. We ordered and got our amazingly cooked food in a very timely manner. Food was cooked to our requested temperature. Food was so delicious ! Was able to walk out spending no more than $70! Great price especially since we also ordered food to go!! Very pleased with this experience we just had! Would definitely recommend!“

“Quick seating. Attentive service. Food was delicious although my steak was a bit peppery and a tad under cooked which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Will return when in the area.“

“I love this restaurant. The food is great! I highly recommend it!“

“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“

“Stopped in as we just moved into the neighborhood. Great place. Food was great,the staff were very friendly and nice . Great service! We will be back!“

“The food is great and the staff is even better. You can tell everyone works hard, cares and the quality reflects that. It’s a must try if you haven’t before“

“Stopped at Inga's last week and just want to say how beautiful and pleasant Bianca was. The food was fantastic, but she made our experience one that will definitely bring us back!“

“Great and friendly service!“

“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. ❤️“

“Incredible.“

“Quick drink after dinner, great spot“

“We enjoyed take out from Refuel - great tuna melt and BLT. Good portions and very tasty! We will go again!“

“In town for a little bit just was driving by and saw New York rangers flying out front. I'm a rangers fan and the game was on at 7:00. I went in there at 6:30 sat at the bar bartender put on the anger game and was very attentive. Great service. I didn't ask his name but he handled the whole bar. Good people. No craziness. Ordered a Heineken onion rings which both were fantastic. Look I'm mostly interested in good servers and someone that's smiling and that's what I got. The bar stools were far enough apart where you weren't hitting shoulders or elbows with other people who's good nice hometown bar. I miss it. I live in Scottsdale most of the year and everything's a free-for-all. I don't care what bar you're in
Anyways, I can't say“

“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!“

“Everything is always delicious. The cream of mushroom soup is delicious“
