1 Las Margaritas Mexican Cantina

4.8 Superb 472 Reviews

1365 New Scotland Road Unit 6, Slingerlands

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“Their staff: top notch. Atmosphere: gorgeous, fun and welcoming. Food: consistently delicious, take out OR dine-in. Drinks: For truly authentic margaritas, your favorites and more you can never go wrong. The best part about this place is their obvious commitment to excellence, and dedication to their customers' experience. My favorite part: They have so many gluten, dairy free and vegan options. For authentic and absurdly delicious Mexican fare, this alone truly sets them apart. And their options continue to expand! I have a problem with tolerating a lot of unusual ingredients and they even go out of their way to omit garlic and onion in my dishes. (You can imagine the extra burden on the restaurant and my simple ask of the possibility led to them always going out to their way to make sure my orders are gluten, dairy, onion and garlic free (and still just fricking amazing, 2 extra meals in leftovers). Their social media director (?) Is brilliant, and all their events, social engagement are impressive and I'm just thrilled to have this gem of an establishment here to patronize.”

2 Mint Slingerlands

4.5 Superb 71 Reviews

5 Vista Boulevard Ste 501, Slingerlands

• Delivery

“We love Mint in Glens Falls and we're pleased to find essentially the same menu here. They make a mean Negroni! We had the bread with butter and honey to start -- delicious! For my meal I had the Beet Salad and Patatas Bravas. Out of this world! My husband had the Beet Burger, his favorite. We didn't have room for dessert. Our server, Dave, was accommodating and pleasant. One minor inconvenience is the sunlight that can affect diners seated in the booths. There does not appear to be any shades. Two parties asked to be moved.”

“So, this PR girl asked where I could get a good Reuben. 5 people recommended Illusive. You'd never know it was there unless you looked for it. Boy, was I not disappointed. The best Reuben I've ever had. Bought 3 to share with building managers. I'm sure they will also start going too.”

4 Dove + Deer

4.6 Superb 130 Reviews

32 Dove St, Albany · 5.51 miles

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“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!”

4.7 Superb 95 Reviews

281 New Scotland Avenue, Albany · 4.23 miles

“Today was my first time here and…. So much food! Everything was absolutely amazing, and they give you such generous portions—you definitely get your money’s worth! The food was delicious, and I honestly find it difficult to find really good places to eat, so this place went above and beyond my expectations. The restaurant was clean, the staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. I also tried the blueberry pancake latte. It was a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but it was still absolutely delicious! I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”

18 The Scene Coffee & Cocktails

4.2 Good 273 Reviews

1671 Western Avenue, Albany · 4.03 miles

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I went to The Scene this morning with my daughter in law and two granddaughters It’s a very charming place with cute decor. The service was excellent. My DIL and one of my granddaughters ordered from the lunch menu — a delicious panino and a yummy wrap. My other granddaughter ordered the Nutella Waffle. It was amazing. Alas, I ordered the avocado toast and it was very disappointing. It was very skimpy — very little avocado on one slice of bread. No poached eggs or burratta on the side. No fresh fruit. Very boring. Just seemed like an afterthought. I’ll be returning but will never order the avocado toast again.”

21 Wellington's

3.7 Good 302 Reviews

144 State Street, Albany · 5.74 miles

• Take-Out

“I do not recommend this place at all. Over priced frozen dinners from the corner store. Wait time to get dinner 2 hours and 36 mins. If you want a drink you have to wait 45 mins to get a simple soda. Our waiter AJ kicked butt. He was super busy. We even offered to help clean table off. The manger was a grumpy and hard to work with. We ordered wings for appetizers and it took 1 hour and 35 mins. Definitely never coming back.”
