“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.“

“Love Babe’s. I’ve always put it at the top of my breakfast places to eat. Great small town atmosphere that is very rare these days as far as I can see. Paula and Patti have a real winning place to get a great breakfast with big portions for a very fair price. Check it out.“

“Great vibe! Delicious breakfast & terrific bloody Mary’s and other cocktails..!“

“Best hot dogs I’ve had in my life. Seriously. Kevin cares about what he does and it shows!“

“They have awesome food would go there everyday“

“We called for same day reservations and were pleasantly surprised to be able to get our requested time, especially for a friday evening. The weather was beautiful, and we contemplated eating outside, but they didn't have lights on their outside deck. But that wasn't a problem, as it was getting chillier out. We ran into some friends as we walked inside and were able to add them to our reservation since they had a 4 top available. Our waitress came right over and took our drink order. We ordered the 32 oz Cowboy Steak to share with a side of broccoli, and the other couple ordered the sesame encrusted Ahi Tuna Steak and the prime rib sandwich with au jus dip and fries. Everything came out perfectly done. We expected that our steak would have been thicker, after seeing pictures of it from previous posts, but it filled the plate. There was also a lot of fat to cut around. We ended up taking half of our steak home, but the other couple finished theirs completely. Because we made reservations, we both received complimentary chocolate mousse, which was delightful! We paired it with a nutty Irishman cocktail. We also took the 2nd chocolate mousse to go.The food is Always good at Jack Kellys. Very flavorful. Their soups are also very good, although we did not order tonight. The atmosphere is very casual, as it's a golf country club.“

“Some of my co-workers brought me out to The Copper Crow for my birthday! It was a wonderful experience. • Nice host, prompt seating. • Attentive and knowledgeable server. • Extensive draft, cocktail & mocktail list. • Great food, good portions, cooked well. • Excellent desserts. I look forward to going back.“

“We (six of us) loved our dinners at Smiths earlier this month and our waiter, Jeff, did a superb job for a busy night after a Cohoes Music Hall show. Appetizers were also excellent and we enjoyed them at that fantastic bar!!“

“My great go to place when in Latham.“

“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 meat sauce imo is the best in the cap region“

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

“Consistently great food and great people. Always a good time at the tavern!“

“As a Diner Enthusiast, it's not often that I come by and appreciate the New Era of Diners. This is the kind of diner that will be a leader in the diner culture. It's aesthetic, cool, modern, and has some REALLY good food. I don't say that lightly. They have a coffee bar to grab a coffee while you wait for your table. Menu was quite unique. Check out the video online-AnotherDayAnotherDiner“

“Great service by Jack! Great burgers and cheesesteak sandwiches! Definitely recommend!“

“We came in after seeing a video on TikTok, because we love Asian brunch places and this one might be a new favorite!

The views from the restaurant are incredible. You can see part of the golf course that they are turning into botanical gardens, and it's high enough that it feels like you can see rolling hills for miles, with so many trees! Great way to experience the remnants of fall colors.

The food was so good. Best radish kimchi I've had in a long time. I also loved the japchae, it was so flavorful. And the ham fried rice was very hearty. I also really enjoyed the jun, it's been so long since I had it, and it was perfect.

Princess is so sweet, and the service was great, with everyone working together to make such a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be bringing more people to this little gem!“

“My husband and I had such a great dining experience last night. The appetizers were amazing. The halibut was delicious and my husband loved the tuna special. We thoroughly enjoyed the staff and wish I had been able to try the pear flambé but I was just too full. Looks like we need to come back next Saturday!“

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

“My parents started taking me here since I was only enough to remember. Now as an adult I use it to catch up with good friends and eat my favorite foods with such good prices! prices! I even introduced a few to this classic spot and they always ask when we're going back. Food that always hit the spot-5 Stars every time.“

“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.“

“Tonight was mine and my fiancé first night going here. The staff was nothing short of amazing. The food was phenomenal. Everyone was so polite and very attentive. Thanks for a great dinner. Most importantly thanks to your amazing staff.“

“What you'd expect from any diner...nothing overwhelming unique or impressive. Turkey, ham and bacon club with cheese was pretty good. More than enough sandwich for 1 person. Fellow diner was not impressed at all with his shrimp scampi and scallops...then again if you're looking for good seafood a diner is usually the last place you'd find it.“

“Always great food, great service and great prices!!!“

“I have never had food I didn't love. The soups are amazing, all of them. It is a favorite for the locals but after going there just a couple of times they remember my preferences. Staff is great, friendly, efficient, top notch. The crowd is friendly and lively.“

“Such a fabulous place to grab a quick bite. Hot dogs, burgers or sausage That's it. Sodas, coffee all delicious. Throw on some potato chips and you're good. All in less than 3 minutes. And they just had a 70th anniversary on the same day as the solar eclipse earlier this year. There's a reason it's been around this long. Many reasons. The staff is fabulous..“

“The staff is just amazing...they have your drinks at your favorite seats before you sit down. Everyone is so friendly, staff and patrons. It is a warm, relaxing and fun place to be at all times. The owners are tremendous Cooks and always trying something new and delicious. Wonderful menu and excellent prices, too! We go for a variety of reasons...the food, the friendly atmosphere, the warm welcomes and the absolute best of times!! If you have been to Muddy's, you're blessed. If you've not been there, you should add it to your Bucket List!! We just LOVE it!!! (And we love the corner seats...our very favorites!!).“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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.“

“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.“
