“A great day today with a dear friend who has finally moved back to the Albany area.🥰 We have been friends for decades, and I even visited her when she lived in Denver, Colorado. We had a great lunch at Cafe Madison on Northern Boulevard in Albany. She had a yogurt parfait with granola, and fresh fruit, all topped off with enough whipped cream to blanket this group. 🤣 I had a salad of mixed baby greens, walnuts, dried cranberries,poached pears, goat cheese, and a delicious apple cider vinaigrette. Our waitress, Ashley, was a delight. The food was great, but she's the reason I'll be back. Great customer service skills. She loves her job, and it's reflected in her positive attitude.“

“The naga chicken sandwich was AMAZING and my partner really enjoyed her crispy chicken sandwich. Love having a halal spot nearby. The prices are super reasonable- think McDonald’s prices for HIGH quality food. Staff is so friendly and quick, and it’s a cute little spot. We live nearby and will be back!

Dietary restrictions: Really great pork-free and vegetarian options!“

“Nice place....Good service and good food“

“Nice location on the Hudson River, good outside seating area, inside seating is good.\n\nWe all got blackened chicken sandwich, it was good, but a little too blackened, very peppery taste, chilotle sauce on top of the peppery flavor was a bit too spicy.\n\nWaitress was wonderful, we were there for over two hours, she was attentive but not pesky.\n\nA bit pricey.“

“Great food and service. They had no problem changing a menu item to leave out the garlic. [allergy]“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was so welcoming! I will absolutely be returning.“

“Fun place to hang out, whether you play golf or not, it's so much more than that. Great food, great vibes!“

“I’ve been looking forward to checking out the restaurant, Dove & Deer, since I first encountered their food when their chef was highlighted at the annual Summer Gala fundraiser here in Hudson last year. Their chef served an incredible amuse-bouche with gooseberries and the chef who was there sharing the amuse-bouches was wonderfully charming and the food was incredible! I was so impressed that I’ve been following their social media since then and have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant all the while! I was recently in the area and while I unfortunately wasn’t able to visit the restaurant in person- I was able to order through Door Dash and the meal was incredible! We ordered an assortment of things to share and were thrilled with everything! -Spicy Kale Caesar with shredded kale, croutons, and shaved parmesan! -Truffle Parm Fries with scallions and truffle aioli! -Mini Wagyu Beef Hotdogs made with wagyu beef, served in buttery toasted buns, and topped with mustard, ketchup, and relish! -Hot Lobster Dip made with lobster claw and knuckle meat, gruyere, gouda, fontina, spinach, scallion, and crispy wontons! It is often very difficult for a restaurant to adjust their menu to translate to takeout; and for them to do so where every single dish was not only delicious but also mostly with a great presentation, says a great deal about their attention to detail. This is a restaurant I look forward to dining at again many more times over the years!“

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕“

“Samson's Motto should be: Service that Sells!!!! Food quality, quantity, service and pricing beyond expectation!“

“We stopped here on a Wednesday before a show at the arena. We were packed in like sardines, with nowhere left to sit and the kitchen had run out of food. And yet the place still felt chill and welcoming. The bartender/owner was attentive and super friendly, despite the absolute chaos that must have been happening behind the bar. Any employees we saw were friendly and informal. Exactly what you want from a dive in Albany.

I have social anxiety and so rarely go out to pubs. But I will absolutely be going back here. Hopefully when the kitchen still has some food left.“

“Ate tonight here food was amazing as always , friendly wait staff , def recommend to all my friends when they ask where they should go to eat“

“awesome ppl and place. never have an issue with our orders.“

“amazing cabbage best yams everything on point“

“Fantastic experience earlier this month having Sunday Brunch with my son and our American cousins at Lost & Found. This place is great! The real America, in Albany, away from the well-beaten tourist tracks. Friendly service, great menu, tasty food, and the proprietor is a gent - even let us get group photos on the stage as he hadn’t a band at the time! It was a wet Sunday but we just had a great family get together inside. Not that far from the city centre and worth finding. Very good value as well.“

“Great food, fresh ingredients, no table service but plenty space to sit down in or outside. I'd recommend the chicken shawarma, hummus and pita or any grill sandwich

Vegetarian options: Falafel, different salads, hummus and pita, veggie platter or grilled sandwiches

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp next to the main entrance of the building, restrooms stall wide enough for handicap people in wc“

“We hosted an amazing company holiday party at Loch & Quay. Great food, amazing staff, hopefully they can accommodate us again next year.“

“Welcomed our soaked and sorry asses in with open arms. Treated us like we were family. Could not have completed our cycling trip without you! Stephanie & Bill, thank you soo much for your hospitality - much appreciated! Excellent food and service. Such a cool spot with 110 years of history. Highly recommend stopping in!“

“Searching for places to eat in the local area and this place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite. This place has good vegan options as well. The Dirty Little Birdy signature cocktail may be the best drink I’ve ever had! Just annoyed I had to share it. Coming back on Friday!“

“Good vibes great service Good food awesome drinks great place to hang with friends and have some good times“

“My experiences at the Albany Stadium have been a whole vibe!!! The staff goes above and beyond! I love ALL their nighttime bartenders!! Thanks for your patience ladies and gent! ??

Parking: If you park in the parking garage on the side street off of South Pearl across from the stadium, make sure you bring your ticket to get back in the door to retrieve your car.“

“great service, excellent for lunch, dinner, or drinks. family friendly, lively for friend gatherings.“

“the service was great. Had a problem ordering online for pick up, so I called to see if order & payment went through and the lady who took my call was extreamly patient and checked for me. luckily it did go through and even let me know when I could pick it up as I was disconnected from there sight before I was given a time. when I arrived the same lady I spoke with on the phone gave me my order and said it just came out, and it was very hot just as she said. Every thing was great, and so much food. I even have enough leftovers for dinner tonight. Can't thank them enough for the great service, delicious food. Eat in , or order take out you won't be disappointed.“

“I have been to both the Kinderhook and Slingerlands locations and they are both amazing! Delicious food, best kettle boiled Brooklyn-style bagels, and authentic pizza. yum!“

“This is more than a bar. It is the third space for many of us who call Pine Hills home. The building had previously been home to a bar called Mahars, which was one of the first craft beer bars in the country, before it was the cool thing to do. Madison Pour House has continued the tradition that Mahars began, that being an unrivaled beer selection, solid food, and a strong sense of community. If you are in Albany and are looking for a chill spot to grab a pint, this is the place.“

“The Best Place I have ever worked for HANDS DOWN! Grateful for Management, they treat our team with respect, allow every team member to be themselves inside and out! Community, Neighbors, Local Small Business all supporting one another and coming together! Every Day Citizens, Everyone Pitching IN! 🇱🇷🦅😉 XXXOOO“

“Great food! Amazing service!“

“I had an absolutely fantastic reasonably priced lunch today. Way more than I could eat., Burger was cooked perfect, toppings were fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, fast and efficient ! So glad we decided to look around before we ate.“

“Believe the hype! Casey Finn’s delivers for service, the finest Miller High Life and Jameson whiskey, and I heard that the Ruebens on St Patrick’s Day are the jam.Was sincerely hoping for the rumored bartender vs customer fight (see review from a few years ago), but despite a brief genuine moment of concern (“are you ladies lost?”), we made friends and will be back.“

“Best staff and music! Always welcoming, I love it here.“

“Love love love their chicken teriyaki sandwich and of course their fries are to die for!“

“I had an amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting—perfect for a relaxed evening out. We were greeted by the boss Ali, and The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

We started with the Mozzarella Sticks which was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. For the main course, I had the Chicken Shawarma Meal and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was beautiful and the flavors were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was just right.

The bar was also impressive, every drink was perfect, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

Overall,I loved it here. It is a true gem. The quality of the food, the service, and the atmosphere make it a standout spot in the area. I can't wait to come back!“
