Great stuff. And for an entree was ribs, brisket with sides of chili and salad. A came.with cornbread Everything was spectacular, one of the.best meals I have had. Bacon in the chili and the house dressing being bbq ranch were nice touches. My server Alison deserves a lot of credit too. Pleasant person, hard working, and made great suggestions when I asked. Alison and the food made this a great experience. Highly recommended and I will be back.“

Everything is priced well and the food is always so yummy. I love looking around at all the art while waiting for the food to come to the table.

Favorite breakfast spot in Troy!!“

“Nighthawks is THE BEST spot in Troy. My husband and I adore this place. They make the best omelette I’ve ever had and my husband is in love with their burgers. 100000/10 recommend. Staff are amazing and overall experience is magical!! Wow wow wow.“

“Just ate lunch here. Food was perfect. They even use purple rice in the bibim bap. Loved it. Cozy atmosphere. Great service. Will go back.“

“I have never gotten a bad meal here. Their shrimp rolls are OUTSTANDING! My favourite is mango curry duck.“

“I just ordered take out from there and everything was phenomenal. My family was pleasantly pleased as well.“

“A diamond hidden in plain sight! Don’t miss scallion pancake, fried pot stickers, chicken satay with peanut sauce, tom kha soup, drunken noodles, basil fried rice ... we were stuffed to the gills, but then we saw the dessert menu. Sticky rice and mango ... and 4 forks please! 🤣 I’m uncomfortably full (my fault) but can’t wait to go back.“

“The Tavern has been in business a long time. Used to be called The Clam Steam Tavern. Was and maybe still is, a popular country music venue. My dad was a country and western singer and played there a lot in the 50's. Maybe even in the late 40's. A nostalgic band stand and dance floor is still there and looks like it is in use. The food is standard bar food but very good. I do not eat seafood however my wife does and really likes the clams. Enjoy eating on the outside porch. Will be back this summer.“

“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!“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“My VERY FAVORITE restaurant ❤️❤️❤️“

“Fast and friendly service! My toddler and I loved the food. And we enjoyed the retro diner vibes and chatting with employees who made us feel welcome!“

“Food is delicious! One of our favorite new places!“

“Amazing food, awesome customer service, and affordable prices.“

“My teenager has summer crew practice across the way from Eggy’s at the boathouse. When I pick her up from the river we stop and enjoy a delicious egg sandwich at Eggy’s. My teenagers are so excited when I pull into the lot every summer. Thank you for being fun.“

“I just had the best chicken wings, I ever had. They were Tequila Chipotle wings. They are the best I definitely will be back.“

“Absolutely delectable. I thoroughly enjoyed my takeout. I recommend everything I got pan fried pork dumplings, spicy chicken dumplings, pork filled chili oil wontons, spare rib, and red bean filled buns. I would definitely be reordering from Taiwan Noodle again! I look forward to trying more items on the menu.

Apirl 2026 Update:
I finally made it in person. The service was friendly, and fast. The atmosphere was welcoming and inviting. It was easy to talk. It is a small local restaurant that I highly recommend giving a try! All of the food was delectable. The bubble tea and thai tea was delicious.“

“Great sandwiches and coffee. Tradisional Vietnamese. The bread and everything in the sandwich was as exspected. The coffee was so good. Ivwish i could get this coffee every morning. Happy New Year!“

“Jessica was absolutely amazing to work with for our daughter’s wedding. Helping us out with NYS wines, to offering amazing ciders and cocktails for the wedding. The day of the wedding their customer service was top notched. I highly recommend them for any special event you may want to have.“

“Great good and great beer!“

“We shared a bowl of Pho with sliced beef rib eye that was absolutely delicious. We also had an order of the crispy spring rolls that are garnished with fantastic pickled daikon radish & carrot sticks & fresh cucumber slices. I would love more of the pickled vegetable garnish! The whole meal was perfect. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely go back!“

“lovely atmosphere with delicious gourmet American cuisine. it was a lovely new year dinner. staff very friendly“

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".“

“My experience was exceptional tonight in these days and times. When my order for Prime Rib was not cooked to order, they replaced it not only with the correct preferred doneness, but it was replaced in a timely manner and with a genuine desire to please me as a customer. Kudos to the manager that is in charge of the Prime Rib clientele - which is exceptional in the Clifton Park area. 👍“

“An excellent selection of hard to find Eastern European beers and wines! Plus we tried some local brews. Bartender very good at helping us choose what we’d like. Relaxed atmosphere- we’ve eaten both inside and out in the garden, which is hidden from the street and a nice surprise to find after walking through the black gates. We had appetizers, burgers and salads- all were very good.“

“Best drinks!!! Their old fashions are the best in the region!!“

“The moment I walked into the restaurant, the pleasant aroma of real Japanese food took me back to my days living in Japan. The restaurant is excellent; the sushi is fresh and plentiful; and the salads were perfect. The service was impeccable. The restaurant is clean. It was a great find; we were there for a weekend basketball tournament at Impact Athletic Center just two miles away. Thanks to all of those people who reviewed this restaurant that help us find it.“

“A jewel of a discovery. When we found other establishments on New Scotland Ave closing their dining rooms by 9pm on a Saturday night, SakeCafe was graciously open, serving delicious food (we tried a little of everything from sushi to Udon) and with the best tableside service I've experienced in literally years. Oh, and the hot sake is splendid and at $6/bottle an unbeatable value. SO happy to know they are just around the corner. Sorry bao buns place but you lose, SakeCafe wins.“

“We visited here at the end of a bicycle ride from Manhattan and had the best time!! The bartender was fabulous, we even learned about a new drink (to us) called Fernet-Branca. We so enjoyed meeting Serena, King, and Edward - so if you're out there hit us up! It was a magical evening 🥰“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“This place is amazing. I didn't know what to expect going in to the all you can eat restaurant. I was happily surprised that it's not buffet style. Servers and bussers. The restaurant is nicely styled and comfortable. The greeters and wait staff couldn't have been kinder or more professional. $28.99 is worth every penny just for that. The longest we had to wait between orders was no more than 5 minutes. The food was fresh, perfectly presented and absolutely delicious! I really can't find the superlatives to describe it. Everything combined made this experience one of the best outings I've ever had. I HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“First time there today. Totally awesome! Great neighborhood bar, food was great and reasonably priced. Staff a lot of fun!“

“First time here. Delicious food. Professional and super friendly waitstaff. Really good beers! Great atmosphere! Don’t pass this to lace by!“

“To begin with, I was surprised by the option of BYOB; we'll know for next time! Tammy was an exceptional waitress giving us some insight to many of the dishes on the menu. Her outgoing personality was enjoyable! She was hustling to all the tables to get the other customers orders in a timely manner. The menu was mind blowing of the many choses. What we ordered was absolutely delicious! Thank you to the Chef for making a fresh batch of arancini; eating them took me back to the time I was stationed in Sicily! We will definitely be back again!!!!!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat around Latham, I enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere and service from staff. I haven't gotten any better tasting lamb kabab around here but at Zaitoon!!!“

“Stopped in for lunch and will now make it a point to stop by every week!

The fish was fresh, the nigiri and rolls were well prepared. And I love the quiet atmosphere. Complimentary soup is always a plus (and was delicious). The staff were also very attentive and pleasant. All around a great experience

I will for sure be coming back!“

“my sister and I have been there 3 times, wonderful waitress, good food, reasonable prices. she comes from conn. coming again in 2 weeks, probably be there/“
