“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.“

“I don't know where to start. I've only had breakfast items there and the food is absolutely amazing! I force myself to never get the same thing twice and everything I've ever had from there has been superb! Anyone want to go tomorrow?“

“We drove most of the day for a medical appointment and were looking for a place to dine late at night, my wife and I have worked in the restaurant/hospitality business for over 30 years, so we know what it's like for the staff to get customers close to closing, after asking if it would be a "bother" to seat us, we were met with mixed reactions, none of them were poor, but no one was excited to have 9 o'clock guest when they close at 10, both the service and atmosphere this visit would have been rated better if our welcome and visit would have been warmly welcomed. The food was hot and delicious!“

“We LOVED our whole experience! We decided to give them a try for New Year’s Eve 2024 and we were not disappointed 😁Danielle was our waitress, but the whole wait staff were phenomenal!

“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.“

“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!“

“this is one of the favorite places of my daughter and mine very good attention and very good food absolute recommendation“

“Best Kept Secret Korean Buffet in Troy, NY

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Troy’s newest hidden gem for Saturday dinner. The restaurant owner, Princess greets every guest with warmth, making you feel like a cherished friend invited over for a home-cooked meal. Her hospitality alone would make this restaurant worth visiting.

You choose a main dish and then there is a small buffet of side dishes and dessert. There is a few selection of Korean dishes, each prepared with so much care and flavor that you can tell it's a labor of love.

The ambiance is welcoming and intimate. Princess’ generosity, attentiveness, and passion for her food make this buffet not just a meal but an experience.

I do wish this restaurant continues to expand and succeed. I can't wait to see its future.

If you're looking to explore authentic Korean flavors and meet an amazing host, make your way to this gem in Troy!“

“we go to naughter’s probably about once a month at this point! the food is always great (the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich is phenomenal, as are the home fries), and the service is always fast and friendly. sitting at the counter you can see how the staff works together seamlessly as a team to make every trip a great experience. we are already planning on making trips to troy just for naughter’s when we move soon a bit further north!“

“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.“

It is also a nice place to study or work.There are ample amenities for charging your laptop, playing some indoor games like table tennis, billiards, etc. There is also a pub upstairs and various meeting rooms. The Panera Bread here is also pretty good.“
