“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.“

“***2024 Update***Under new ownership Crossroads has completely turned around food quality is very good and the service has been great. Highly recommend checking them out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.

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

“Great food. Very friendly people working there.“

“This place had great food and great service! Delicious butter chicken and chicken tikka! Thank you“

“Went on international donut day, donuts were good but a bit of chewy texture. Only thing that was disappointing was the cinnamon roll, it was dry and hard. (Edit) So I came back after the owner asked that I retry the cinnamon roll, the 2nd time it was definitely better and fresher but maybe I just prefer a thicker roll but wasn't dry. The fudge fancy was decent but on the smaller side compared to other local bakeries. The Lobster tail wasn't bad just have never had a custard filled so it has a different taste and it's very crispy. The Maple Cream Bacon Cronut was amazing and made the trip worth it.“

“The staff was friendly and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“Delightful little restaurant, comfy atmosphere and excellent food!“

“Oh my goodness!!! I had the BEST Mexican pizza Friday night. The barbacoa was so tender and all the other ingredients were as fresh as if they had just come off the plant. I’m already planning to go back soon to have it again. Would recommend this place 100%!!!“

“Delicious meal and top notch service by Tabatha and her crew.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Despite all the havoc and drug addicts loitering outside of your establishment, it's the best pizza in the 518.“

“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!!).“

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

“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.“

“Overall, the food itself wasn’t the most amazing, but it gave us so much comfort—like finding water in the desert. We were traveling from New York, starving, and came across this nearby sushi spot. The warm short ribs really hit the spot with their sweet flavor. The appetizer portions were small but just right for two people. The sushi was good, while the ramen could’ve been richer—the broth wasn’t very strong. Still, I left feeling very satisfied, and that’s why I’m giving it 5 stars.“

“The food was fantastic!!! I would highly recommend this place and the staff was amazing and the service was great.“

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

“Great apps, amazing entrees, decent wine list, and omg those desserts! Our waiter was awesome. We shared the garlic bread and calamari, we all loved both. I had the veal parm, so good. For dessert I had a pistachio ricotta pie that was out of this world. Highly recommend checking Anthony’s out asap. Great new space too, I had only been to the original restaurant. Love the addition of the salad bar too!“

“We have been going to Zias since 2009,the service has been poor, disrespectful, cocky.It used yo be good but has gone the way their old place pieros.was good and went to crap. shame we were loyal. go to riveria down the street better nicer and they appreciate you. ZERO STARS“

“I had an absolutely fantastic reasonably priced lunch today. Way more than I could eat., Burger was cooked perfect, toppings were fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, fast and efficient ! So glad we decided to look around before we ate.“

“Yesfolk is so good and a bonus of the Kombucha is that it is super helpful for people that want to live a sober lifestyle. Settling down with a kombucha is so much better than a beer or cocktail for me. I'm hooked on Yesfolk Kombucha!“

“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“

“Everything is so fresh and the staff is wonderful!“

“Hunter the person who served us was friendly, easy to talk to patient with our order and just a great person to have as our server

Kid-friendliness: My son has some mental health issues and a little trouble deciding, but it didn’t take too long and Hunter was just wonderful“

“Great food! Amazing service!“

“Love Tipsy! Always great food and great bartenders and waitresses!!!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely wonderful food! The maple butternut squash was a huge hit. This place worked with me in accommodating GF and vegan diets for a couple of my guests. I couldn’t be more pleased!“

“good atmosphere, good food, cold drinks“

“I recommend June’s to everybody it’s the best food and very relaxing place to come and count on the best food and if you enjoy a good drink to kick back and enjoy a drink and the owner appreciates all her customers and goes far way above and beyond to see her customers happy I recommend anybody try June’s out you won’t regret it and if you love historic buildings her restaurant is in a old restored fire house that she did all the work herself supper amazing place wish there was more places around the capital region like this. I hope junes is around many years.“

“We order lunch weekly at our office. Kris’ is absolutely incredible. The food, staff and delivery are all AMAZING!!! 5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“As a Diner Enthusiast, I can confidently say that this is a hidden gem. I've been to close to 100 diners and the food here rivals the best. The tables were filled with veterans and local regulars that know the waitress by name. I left with a full tummy and a smile on my face. More people should be coming here.

“My bridal shower was here and they did such an amazing job! The food was DELICIOUS and the service was incredible“

“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!!“
