“Went here with two of my favorite people on a weekday in the early evening for ice cream. Plenty to choose from. Although we didn't get lunch or dinner type foods, they had a pretty large menu to choose from for that too. Would recommend trying if you're in the area or looking for an ice cream place.“
“We haven't been to the pub in a few months. The food is definitely as good as it was before. Would love to see District 6 back on tap. The atmosphere was lighter and not so tense.Kid-friendliness: There are tables and bar setting and there are kid dishes available.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“Yesterday was my first time here and WOW. I got the lemon pound cake and now...I WANT MORE! Cute little store where you can pick up to go meals, alcohol, basic groceries, and really cute little cook books and how to make recipes with all ingredients included! Will 1000 percent be back.“
“one of the best restaurants i've been too. the staff is always very welcoming and friendly as soon as you walk through the door. i always see smiling faces. the food there is impeccable like the staff. it is so nice they are family owned. overall great experience here.“
“Great place / definitely old school mom and pop diner. Highly recommend. Note..no alcohol. I was lucky enough to have picked up some vodka shotsto make my tomato juice medicinal. This is a real community diner. Lots of seniors and families.“
“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.“
“Hands down best Italian left in the area. We both got chicken parm. It was the best we have had in the capital district. The clam chowder soup and meatballs were awesome too some of the best we have ever had!We hope the owners stay open for many years to come and the recipes don't change“
“We pass through the area regularly enough to have been here many times. The staff are all friendly, even though they don't know our names as they do for most of those who eat there! The breakfast items we've ordered are always properly prepared, and the coffee hot, but the one time we ate off the lunch menu we weren't thrilled and decided that in the future we'd stick with breakfast, which they serve morning and afternoon (we've never made it there the one evening a week they're open for dinner). They always have breakfast specials which are very reasonably priced and the atmosphere is a welcome step back in time so we look forward to returning.“
“We have been twice now when we are in the area and had Joellen as our waitress each time. She has been amazing each time; making sure to check in and tell us any details! The food is always amazing in quality and quantity. We always bring leftovers home. Fried pickles are delicious (and spears! So there any many to share). Mac and cheese is delicious and homemade. Will definitely be coming back!“
“I was attending Jury Duty and was looking for somewhere close by to eat and came upon this spot. Very cozy but busy diner, and the staff there are so friendly and attentive. You see all types of customers, from locals to professionals. I can tell it’s a staple in the community!“
“If you go, and you should. Get the loaded hot dogs! I usually order to go and get either the hot dogs or their open faced turkey sandwich.I only ate inside once, and they were super busy, but we still received our food, delicious and hot.Absolutely go here if you are able.“
“At a time when restaurants are scaling back on ingredients, portions and quality while charging more for meals, The Ritz On Union does just the opposite. I enjoyed a tasty ragu dish over papperdelle pasta. The portion was sizable and the pricing was fair.“
“Friday, Feb. 9 2024, we enjoyed a fish fry platter and a ranch, crispy chicken wrap platter. Always superb service, delicious , fresh food! Also IF you forget your take out food, on your table, not to worry because your waitress will chase after you , outside to hand it to you ! Thank you Eunice !! Dick and Bonnie Hebert 02/8/2024“
“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.“
“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 stop any time we are in the area. We were there this past Thursday and the food was excellent as it always is, and the waitress we had was awesome! She refilled our drinks without us asking and perfectly timed, i squirted catsup on my fries and it made a spurt sound... she immediately brought us another bottle, again without asking! We love it here and I know you will also!“
“Food was delicious,reasonable price,friendly waitress &frequent coffee stops with quick response to requests. I like the little book exchange at the door& otherwise it is a traditional diner with some modern menu choices(a flight of avacadotoast!). Recommended!“
“Our bestie group of 4 went for lunch. Everything was so good. 3 got BLT’s and I got the Beet Salad. They all loved their sandwiches with chips or macaroni salad and my Beet Salad was the best I ever had!!! They roast their beets to perfection. chopped walnuts crumbled goat cheese, sliced red onions, on wonderful salad greens, with a delicious balsamic mixture. It was so good. Service was so comforting such a sweet person and coffee and a most delicious cider donut and coffee for dessert. The best afternoon! We will certainly be back before long.“
“Place is very unassuming from the outside. Didn't have a reservation but they were very accommodating to get us in for a Saturday night. The food was phenomenal. The staff took time to get into great conversations.Parking: Either park on the street or the Dollar General parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Won't recommend bringing kids. The menu is not meant for children.“
“Love this place. The family who runs it does an amazing job and the food is literally ALWAYS great and I’ve been there like 10 times. It’s cute and quaint, but most importantly CLEAN. They also have creative and various options for both breakfast and lunch. My favorite breakfast spot by far!!!!“
“If you have not been to this amazing pub, you're missing out! Sue is amazing, and so is all the rest of the staff there. The food is great, the atmosphere is amazing and the prices are cheap on everything. I absolutely love playing at this venue. I honestly wish we could do it weekly and be their house band.“
“Three of us for lunch. Food was great, server was quite good. My burger was done as requested. Consistently good place for food and service.Parking: Parking behind the tavern can be iffy when the place is busy. There is a lot across the street next to the old furniture store which is a good overflow area.“
“Very nice but small dining areas. Sat at a high top near the bar. It was crowded, so people were close. The lobster Mac and Cheese was very good. The wait staff were busy but managed to stop back several times to refresh drinks. Be aware you save 3% on your bill if you pay cash. Luckily for me, I had enough on me at the time.Parking: I went on a Saturday night. Parked in the bank parking lot. It was after hours and closed. I don't know how far I would have had to walk if I didn't park there.“
“Delicious food and a beautiful atmosphere! Came in from out of town for a hockey tournament and we were staying at the Hilton right next door and thought we would pop in for a quick bit. So glad we did cause it was the best food we have had in a while! Our waitress was an absolute angel as well! We will absolutely drive the 3 hours just to come back and eat here ?“
“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 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.“
“Beautiful pub with friendly staff and many beers on tap. No loud music playing so you can actually have a conversation with your friends and not be “yell-talking” to be heard! My small critique: I wish the bartenders would serve beers in their accompanying branded glasses (or just have no brands on the glass at all). It was a trick of the mind drinking an IPA from a glass labeled “Coors Lite”! :)“
“I love this place! Believe me, everything you read about the chicken wings here is spot on. They are meaty, juicy, and delicious. Jen helped me out and she couldn't have been nicer. She even started singing behind the bar! That's the kind of neighborhood spot this is. It feels like it's been around for 100 years and everyone is made to feel welcome. I can't wait to return because there were so many items on the menu and so many beers on tap it's impossible to conquer it all on just one visit. This is the perfect dive bar.“
“It was my first time at the Bourbon, I had the best experience ever thanks to Lucy and Jim They treated so good and welcomed me so well. I will definitely come back and bring my friends with me for a wonderful hangout. Lucy is the best bartender. If you go there ask for Lucy for sure to.mix your drinks.“

“Amazing! Simply amazing.Where do I start.Food is reasonably priced.3 eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, home fries, coffee..... just 11 bucks. They also have smaller meals for 5-8 bucks. In today's world, that's cheaper than the cheapest breakfast and much much better.The home fries: crisp, with a slight crunch, warm but not piping hot, perfect. I usually use ketchup, I didn't because it would've ruined them. They tasted so good.Eggs: Perfect. I asked for over medium. Which is kinda specific. Not only did she cook them right, but she nailed them so perfectly that it reminded me of my mother and grandmother's cooking. Perfectly done eggs at the perfect temperature.Bacon : Again nailed it, crisp but not hard. I don't know how she does it!Sausage: slightly salty, but this was perfect because as I stacked it with the unsalted home fries, it was incredible.Coffee : Fresh, my God, was it fresh. Slightly sweetened, almost like the sugar was a support to the coffee, but it didn't overtake the coffee. The coffee was the main event. Again, perfect temperature.All through the whole ordeal, she was attentive, polite, and just pleasant to be around. There's no substitute for someone who really cares when they run a business“
“It definitely has a large beer menu and I was really happy with my beer. Also it's nice and dark. Really good location because it's next to offices, downtown and train station. If you like Schenectady then this bar probably has the best beer.“
“Last Saturday night was so much fun! We came in for a comedy show, and decided to come a little early for apps and drinks. Our waitress was super nice and talked us into sharing a sandwich with our apps. The French onion soup was delish just like everyone told us it was. The portions are huge! I watched what people were ordering around us and I couldn't believe the portion size“
“The BEST breakfast sandwich!! Everything is made from scratch and cooked in front of you. You want something not on the menu..if they have the ingredients Dan will make it. Prices very affordable …Not many places like this left..small and family owned. Give them a try….plus they DELIVER. There are a few separated tables for eating in.“
“I have been to Manhattan Exchange a handful of times. Don't skip this place. They definitely have a solid burger. I got the Wisconsin Butter burger, it was huge and delicious. They have decent cocktails, one of my friends got a spicy musk which was delicious. The servers were very attentive, service was a little slow because it's Saint Patrick's Day weekend, but they checked in frequently. It's clean inside and has a nice patio for warmer days.“
“Daley’s was an excellent experience for my wife and I! The food is fantastic. My scallops were prepared perfectly, and the pot roast was also great! The food was excellent, and the staff was knowledgeable and quick to answer our questions. The atmosphere is also great! The tunes were top-notch notch too!“
“All together, everything turned out to be pretty mediocre.Tried to order online but the preferred service wouldn't allow me to check out, something to do with the menu prices being incorrect. So I called in the order, which at first they stated they don't do, but after my explanation their online system was borked they relented and took it.Went with the onion rings and the waffles and chicken, and came to around $31 before tip. Had put in my pickup for 4:00PM but when I arrived at 4:05PM the order still wasn't ready. In fact I ended up sitting at the bar area until 4:20PM, a rather significant delay for the order I placed at noon time.Got home and dug in, immediately being disappointed in the onion rings for their size. They're the shoestring variety, which is great for on sandwiches and salads, but as an appetizer or finger food they are kind of annoying to consume. The rings are just far too small to properly enjoy. That said, the dip that came with them paired perfectly. Then there was the chicken of the chicken and waffles which was beyond salty, I think the chef might have accidentally poured a tad to much salt into the buttermilk breading. Could almost feel my blood pressure going up. The waffles were alright though, the spicy honey butter they were topped with had soaked into the waffles and made them soft and sweet. Though not spicy at all.Overall it was an alright way to end the week, probably could have been better, but I'm satisfied.“
“They have a very big menu and I have been trying everything and so far EVERYTHING is REALLY GOOD and they service is also Phenomenal I definitely recommend For dinner and drinks or just the food definitely give them a try I did and did not regret “
“Absolutely amazing atmosphere, it's nice to finally find a place with the genuine charm and character that other taverns try to emulate.They are cash only, so bring money or use their ATM. They end up donating the extra 3% that would normally be given to the CC companies to local charities.The menu has a good selection of standard pub fare, with using descriptions and anecdotes. We got the Reuben, French Dip, and had to try their hamburger. The portion sizes are large, well worth the price. Chips are great and the sweet potato ones even moreso.We tried to fit a dessert in as well, and the massive cookie sandwhich is very much Massive! Would be a challenge to eat one on your own if that was the only thing you ordered. Definitely enough of a dessert to split between four people.It was only our first visit, but we'll definitely be making this one of our regular spots.Vegetarian options: Most of the salads and a few appetizers contain no meat.Dietary restrictions: All fried items are fried in peanut oil, so if you have a peanut allergy you'll need to stick to fresh foods and sandwhichesParking: Shared lot with the strip mall, and a few spots down a side road.“
“I was surprised at how expensive it was. It is a very nice place. The food was excellent and service good. And the ambiance is unique and interesting. However, the prices were unreasonable high, for my taste. For example, one of us had a hamburger - $18 and a draft beer $9.“
“Excellent in every way! Great pizza and subs. Best turkey subs anywhere. The hot eggplant sub is epic. Excellent rolls and breadsticks. Quality at reasonable prices. Best of all, the hard-working staff is amazing. Accurate orders, fast, friendly, professional service. We get takeout, but there are a few tables to eat in. The interior is clean and cheery, with a great pressed tin ceiling. We have been coming here for years, and are looking forward to many years to come.“
“Hi. I recently came here to grab a quick bite. My daughter and I ordered the quesadilla, mine was chicken and when I tell you this quesadilla was bangin. It was so flavorful and dripping with juice.it was hot with a great cheese stretch and made fresh. I had to give the cook 2 thumbs up and let him know how great the food was. I will return for more, I'm obsessed.??“
“So first off confused , I seen a lot of ratings and I personally didn’t even want to eat here or go here because of the ratings !! However I will say it was amazing , pricing is literally normally !! drinks were 13.50 you get a souvenir cup !! Wings awesome , and secondly just to clear the air !! It’s first come first serve !!) so if you are in the back of course it’s going to take a long time to get your food , they are taking orders by seating!! Comedians was great , ready to go back again !!!“
“Tops is a really good Diner. They offer a variety of decent food options from apps, to soups, sandwiches, meals, and dessert.They also offer many beverages and alcoholic drinks.Nothing is lacking.Service is pretty good and the atmosphere is upbeat. Everything is clean and prices are competitive.“
“Fantastic middle of nowhere all-day breakfast Diner. The way it always was and should be! The staff are the greatest. The food took like 3 mins. to get to my table. Coffee refills delicious and really fragrant. Texas burger's really, really good and so were the sides. Burnt Hills Cafe has the total 'old school flair' going for it. The mix of folks was young and old. A few groups were just some friends kicking it. It was really delicious. The food is a top-tier 5 star. Burnt Hills Cafe specializes in breakfast dishes - but my lunch here was just as tasty and hot! The bar area is short and jammed so be ready to sit at tables, like back in the day. Review: 5+“
“We had a delicious meal at Morrettes, with all of our steak sandwiches coming out fabulous! This place has old photos of Schenectady lining the walls and has been open for 77 years! The food was very affordable for the portion sizes as well with three meals coming out to under 40 dollars. I will be back!Parking: Parking is out back, the lot fits about 10 cars“
“First Prize Mike's is defiantly a restaurant that is worth trying. Their hotdogs with mustard, onions, and meat sauce are very good. They have been in business since 1947 and it is a well known spot in Schenectady. Service is very fast and friendly. Good meals can be had here at affordable prices.The restaurant serves fresh coffee, but only has a vending machine for soda or water. You can eat in or takeout. If in the area stop by for some food at a well known local spot.“
“Our choice for Schenectady Restaurant Week was Turf Tavern in Scotia, we have never been....it was delicious! I ordered off the restaurant week menu, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Prime Rib, Creme Brulee (this also came with a salad). Hubby had a Wedge Salad and the Sweet Cherry Pepper Pulled Pork. Everything was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor, although I did need a little salt...Service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“
