39 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants West Sand Lake

“What a great time we had at June Farms!! We had the pleasure of spending the morning with Trevor, who escorted us around the farm in a golf cart! We learned so many new things today about the farm animals. My children ages 27, 5 and 2 years old all equally enjoyed our morning, what a great family experience. Thank you for the memories. Trevor was great!!!! We can’t wait to come back again.“

“Lovr Dobys! Our family has enjoyed their subs for many years. My husband and I have also liked their southern friend chicken wings. Great service and will order out to my car. We always do take-out so can't speak to the inside dining experience. I do not understand the negative reviews!“

“Lovely restaurant amazing burger options. My recent go to place.“

“This is a great venue to see live music. My son's band played there last night, and we were happy to see that this is a place with a great open space/stage for a band to play and get a good crowd. Nice beer list, the house white wine was Pinot grigio (which made my wife happy), nice menu of snacks, including Nathan's hot dogs (glizzies), and......and......Saranac root beer on tap. Good stuff. All the staff was friendly. Definitely looking forward to going to another show at No Fun in Troy. Recommended!“

“My phone wouldn't let.me scan the bar code to complete the survey yesterday but a review is definitely necessary. First time at.the Troy location. I had honey bbq wings for an appetizer. 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.“

“I now live in Texas , but every trip to Albany includes a trip to Miranda’s deli. The food is off the charts. The smoking hot chick who makes the sandwiches and the special-needs guy who runs the register are both Fantastic. There aren’t enough stars to rate this place.“

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

“Baristas are friendly and efficient, and the coffee never disappoints.“

“its triple so nice！“

“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.“

“Food was too tier! Will absolutely be going back“

“Food is absolutely incredible and the service is even better. I recommend 3 Brothers to everyone.“

“The food here is excellent! We love the dine-in. It’s well organized and food is served quickly. The red curry is my favorite 😍“

“Amazing food and amazing owner!!!! Highly recommend 🥰“

“Friendly service. The food exceeded our expectations, it was delicious from appetizers to desserts. the hand crafted sauces are definitely a highlight. the food doesn't need sauces, but they definitely add a nice pop of flavor. we had : Yuca frita Arepitas con queso guda Arepa Pernil Cachapa Carne Mechada Quesillo de coco Crème Brulè cheescake Mango juice and a pineapple soda“

“Phenomenal food and drink! Look forward to every time we’re able to come grab a bite at The Ruck!“

“We absolutely LOVE booking Nine Pin for our Lifestyle Program of events for our residents here at Adams Station. Nine Pin's booking process is effortless and timely. Jessica is an absolute joy to work with, in addition to every staff member she has sent us. Our residents love when Nine Pin comes to events, whether it's to set up a bar and serve their delicious drinks, or for the tasting events that let them learn the history and science behind the brand. Thanks for always elevating our events, can't wait to have you back soon!🍻“

“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.“

“Liza's is one of my favorites for lunch in downtown Troy. The menu has healthy and tasty choices made with fresh ingredients. Service has always been friendly and fast, yet you will not be rushed as you sit and savor the dishes. The owner Liza who has created the menu can usually be found working at the restaurant, making sure you will return again. And I suggest you do return, so you can sample her creativity in the kitchen!“

“Best Pizza in town! As a certified pizzaholic, I should know!“

“That pork belly bao is a travesty for being that small but being the same price as the chicken sando it’s ridiculous honestly,Lucky corner has one three times the size for cheaper 6 bucks is crazy for that one bite slider portion to price is trash here but the food is really good“

“HANDS DOWN BEST BAGELS IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT!!!!!“

“Off Shore has a range of delicious fresh fish. Salmon was amazing. They have an adjoining restaurant should you want the cooking done for you. Very reasonable prices. Run by good people. Been in business since 1976.“

“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.“

“Best food around. I’ve been getting food from here weekly since before the pandemic started. I highly recommend this restaurant. The workers are the sweetest, the prices are great, the food is high quality and delicious!“

“My husband and I got married at Lucas. We had the time of our lives and can’t believe how amazing the day went. From first tour and booking to packing everything up and leaving, Maeve was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She was smart, easy to work with, responsive, attentive, understanding, and just a calm and collected figure the day of the wedding. We rented all of Lucas and the Garden for our wedding. We did brunch so there was a lot of logistics I was quite worried about since the timeline in the morning was so tight to do an 11am ceremony.

Everything went off without a hitch, we had to delay the start time by 5 additional minutes and that was no problem for them! The venue was decorated beautifully. The front lounge is so sunny in the morning and the space felt so warm and welcoming when people first came in. It was raining on our wedding (good luck for us!) so it was so nice having people walk into this beautiful cozy space. The garden is picture perfect. It felt like a dream. It is not a big space so the space would not work for a larger wedding. The garden is where both our ceremony and our reception took place. The staff flipped the space during cocktail hour (by the bar and front area). When they flipped the space, they made sure to include the specials I requested like putting the centerpieces, program, and name plates out. Maeve even realized I forgot table numbers and quickly went in the back and made some for my 5 tables so guests knew where they were going.

We had a few extras that were around the venue in lieu of dancing and all the little nooks and crannies helped fill the space. For events, they have the buffet on the back wall which was perfect and out of the way. The bar was always packed, and everyone said the bartenders were friendly and fast—just what you want at a wedding. I literally had no complaints from any of my guests and everyone raved about the spot. Most of the guests had never been there and couldn’t believe how different and unique Lucas was from traditional event spaces.
The venue was able to play my playlist over their Bluetooth speakers, Maeve helped control the music for us walking down the aisle and the recessional. The venue was so prepared, it was obvious that they had done several events and are true event professionals. They even let us bring everything the night before and put our flowers in cold storage for us overnight to keep them fresh. We had a few large and bulky items and I had lots of bins. I was worried they weren’t going to have the room to store stuff overnight but Maeve took everything to the back and told me that it wouldn’t be a problem which was a huge relief. I created my own flower centerpieces and was really worried that they would die from Friday to Saturday if they weren’t put somewhere safe. My last rave will be about how unlike traditional wedding venues, Lucas doesn’t nickel and dime you. There were no stupid BS fees like napkin overuse fee, coffee creamer fee, set up fee, Bluetooth speaker fee, etc. The contract stated everything and that is what we were charged which is amazing because most venue I feel look at weddings like a cash grab and Lucas didn’t do that.

Only small con is that one of my guests said the roof in the garden was leaking in one small spot so I would recommend that someone looks at the roof ASAP before we start getting summer thunderstorms.“

“Great spot and awesome staff!!“

“Can’t say enough about this place! The egg and cheese biscuit and the tahini butter and jam sunflower toast were amazing! We enjoyed the cold brew as well. Cool industrial decor. This is a must stop place for us on our way to upstate and VT. Thanks for the great service!“

“Year after year after year.. I find myself here throughout the summer right up until it starts to get cold. The food just keeps getting better. The young people that work behind the counter are always polite and courteous. I know I can't be the only one grateful to have this place in my local neighborhood 🤍 I wish I could thank the owner personally however I have yet to run into him lol“

“The best custom cakes around! Thank you“

“Love it there! My favorite bar in Watervliet“

“I ordered a hibachi chicken, which allows you to choose fried rice and fried noodles freely. I chose fried rice. You can also choose half fried rice and half fried noodles, which is simply great. The portion is large, and the chicken is surrounded by juice and is simply delicious. The staff is very kind and warm. Come and try something else next time. They also have sushi and poke bowl.“

“My friend and I stopped in today to have lunch and were not disappointed. This wasn’t our first visit there and I’m happy to say our food is always fresh, served quickly and will be piping hot when it gets to you. Unless it’s supposed to be cold! Waitstaff is attentive and it’s very clean. We lucked out without having to wait despite almost every seat being taken at lunchtime. I highly recommend!!“

“Great selection of Beer and Whiskey. Very nice atmosphere and the outdoor patio is the coolest place on earth!!!“

“I have dined in Stacks on numerous occasions and I regularly get take out. This is one of my three go to coffee shops in Albany NY. I enjoy the Chai lattes, seasonal soups, sandwiches, and croissants. The only thing they need is Hazelnut syrup for the drinks!“

“Best Pizza Ever. Took my whole family to eat highly recommended“

“I’m a sucker for Bavarian food, so we stopped in to grab a takeaway meal while in town for the night. Overall, the food was just average, but definitely a fun atmosphere.

The potato salad was phenomenal, easily the standout and something I’d happily recommend. The Jägerschnitzel sandwich, however, was missing the oyster mushrooms and schwarzbier gravy listed on the menu (see photo), which was disappointing. We were also expecting the goulash to be more traditional, with chunks of beef; instead, it leaned more toward an Americanized ground-meat style.

While waiting for our food, we enjoyed a beer at the bar. The bartender was friendly and easy to talk to, which made the time fly by. I can absolutely see this being a fun spot for EPL mornings or a casual beer stop, even if the food didn’t quite live up to traditional Bavarian expectations.“
