The waiter was super friendly, the food was quick, and we met the owner Joey and he is truly trying to make everyone who comes in feel like part of his family.

Favorite breakfast spot in Troy!!“

“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.“

“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!

“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.“

“American Food & Deli is easily one of the best spots I’ve tried in the 518 area. I ordered a chopped cheese, 6 honey hot wings, and 6 lemon pepper wings, and everything was fresh and packed with flavor. The wings were crispy and cooked perfectly. The honey hot had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and the lemon pepper was seasoned really well. The chopped cheese was loaded with meat and cheese and was just as good.

The service was excellent too. Before I ordered, the employee let me try a wing, which was a great gesture and showed confidence in the quality of their food. On top of that, the prices are hard to beat for the quality and portions you get.

Great food, excellent service, and unbeatable prices. I’ll definitely be back.“

“We first visited Troy Botanical Garden for the KPop Demon Hunters event and completely fell in love—with the food, the atmosphere, and the people. Since then, we’ve been coming back often, excited to try new dishes while still enjoying our favorites. One of our favorite parts is taking a peaceful walk on the garden trails after lunch—such a perfect way to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The interior space feels warm, welcoming, and full of good energy every time we visit. Princess is truly a ray of light—her kindness and positivity always bring a smile to our faces and make each visit even more special. This place has quickly become a favorite, and we’re always happy to return.“

“B-rads catered my wedding recently. It was by far the best food i have had. For cocktail hour was had bacon wrapped Pierogies, chicken and waffle skewers, coconut shrimp. There was also this massive charcuterie table that everyone was talking about. For dinner we had pulled pork, lemon pepper chicken, and brisket. Sides were mac n cheese, slaw, salad, corn bread, rolls ect. Everything was SO good. The brisket fell apart and was amazing. My husband loved the mac n cheese (it was amazing also). Everyone talked about how amazing the food was. Pricing was good also. They were great to work with leading up to the wedding and even called a couple days before hand to make sure we didn’t need anything else. 10/10 recommend them to cater any event!“

“All the groups were outstanding. We especially liked the jazz band.“

“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.“
