Restaurants in Rensselaer

“Lucky ? to have stopped at The Bunker during our stay in Greenbush. We sat at the bar and our server Lauren was so attentive, friendly and made a delicious dirty martini. The food was excellent! We ordered the salmon tacos and Philly cheesesteak, both scrumptious! Actually, I order fish tacos quite often and these were the best I’ve ever had. We will definitely stop in again when traveling through the are.”

“Phenomenal! This was my first time trying Burmese food, and it set the bar so high!!!Everything was so delicious! I got the lunch special, which comes with a small salad and soup - both were surprisingly delicious!For appetizers, my party and I ordered the fried tofu and tea leaf salad. The tofu was home made, and it showed! So flavorful and soft :DThe tea leaf salad was amazing! So delightfully crunchy with the peanuts and sesame seeds and cabbage, so very flavorful with the tea leaves and garlic oil. I loved it and want to try all of their salads!For a main, I shared the tofu curry and egg plant curry, and both were amazing! The tomato curry sauce was so delicious.I also got the Burmese tea - it had milk and a splendid spice profile that was just so comforting!!Lastly, we had the tapioca pearl and coconut milk dessert, also lovely!I wish I was more eloquent with describing flavors, but trust me, you need to try this place!! Every dish we received and tried, we were blown away by the depth of flavor!!This place is unassuming looking on the outside, but don't let its subtlety and quiet appearance deceive you. This place is bursting with flavor and authenticity. It's a family run business. I want to go back here as soon as possible to try more of their menu!Vegetarian options: The homemade tofu is amazing! They have lots of delicious salad options and a wide variety of vegetarian mains.Parking: Street parking- it was easy enough for me to find a spot for lunch on a weekday.”

“It was delicious food. Extremely kind nice staff. Very good food. Extremely good service. The atmosphere was perfect city Thai restaurant.If you want or expect any heat, you need to ask for it. Besides the lack of heat, which I know to correct in the future, the food was absolutely delicious. ?”

“The food is always great. I travel to this area a few times per year for business and I always have breakfast at Skyline. The food is great and reasonably priced and the staff is always excellent.”

“So wonderful! The staff are amazing and very helpful if you don't know what something is. Everything I tried was delicious. The bulgogi is very tasty and the son of egg sandwich reheats excellently if you take the bread off first.Wheelchair accessibility: The ramp is not too steep.”

“Subs were awesome my girl was smart and got the condiments on the side so they weren't soggy !!! I didn't pick them up she did but I know she goes there because of the quality of food!!!”

“Crab Cakes are amazing .. plenty of lumps of crab and not a lot of breading. Fresh! Most enjoyable.Cobb Salad with grilled chicken .. the salad is fresh. The grilled chicken was a bit heavy on salt.Mac and cheese with cajun chicken and bacon .. it was good.Empire smash Burger is tasty .. also love the home fries that comes on the plate.Thank you, Illusive =)”

“Food is good depending on what you get. Fresh, crisp veggies. Rubbery, chewy squid. The back corner seat is cursed with a terrible reberation of sound. Cute appetizer display. No cocktails. Smaller portions than I'm used to. Good on flavor and spice.”

“I came on a friday and ordered a fish and chips. Fish tasted very fresh. Only thing I could recommend is draining the oil a little bit longer so the fish at the bottom don't get soggy. The fries were good. Mac salad was okay. Pricing was great for the amount of food I received and service was fast. Wasn't a deal breaker for me but the restaurant does only accept cash so make sure you have cash on hand to avoid atm fees. Servers were very nice as well! Would definitely come back if in the area.”

“I ordered a gluten free dairy free vegetable pizza . It was a personnel size 12 inch pizza. It was very good I ate 1/2 of it. It’s so hard to find a really good pizza when you’re Gf & DF but this place Pizza My Love was fantastic. Also had the chicken wings. They were so very nice and crispy they way I like them. Thank you Pizza My Love. Love the name?❤️??”

“This is hands down the best pizzeria on this side of the river. Probably on both sides. Their food is fantastic the service is great my only little bit of of flaw would be that you're not open on Super Bowl ”

“If you are looking for delicious Japanese food, you must try Nishiki! We’ve ordered sushi and sashimi here countless times, for years now, and it’s ALWAYS fresh and tasty. Some of our favorites are the Tuna Cappacio, Ninja Roll, Jonas Roll, and the Rensselaer Roll. Our kids like the Shrimp Tempura Roll and the Philadelphia Roll. The miso soup is great and so is the Pink Lady Roll! Haha… we love it here. This little gem is run by the sweetest local family, especially Queena, who is always so friendly. Maybe it’s because she knows how good their food is! ?❤️??”

“My family stopped in for lunch today and everything was amazing. Food came out hot and in a timely manner and staff was friendly! Highly recommended and will return again!”

“Mainly take out but you can eat in. The BBQ is excellent. They leave the knuckles in the goat (not a fan). Nice people $16 for take outVegetarian options: I have no idea what this food is made of. It's good, but I would ask”

“Amazing local spot... A great spot to relax and have some drinks... A must stop if you're coming to this area... Bartenders are A-1 and owner is a great guy!!!”

“This store is always neat and clean even when they are swamped with customersThe yogurt is outstanding and creamyThe staff is always very welcomingAs always it was a pleasant experience”

“Great shot to explore. A must shop if you're a home brewing hobbyist. Helpful knowledgeable owners and staff who go the extra mile to order what you need if it's not in stock.”

“BEST STEAK AND CHEESE SUBS IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT!!! They bake their own perfectly crisp yet soft sub rolls and the perfect seasoning on it!! I’ve tried steak n cheese subs in every popular sub restaurant around and I promise you , the best is made here!!!”

“As an Albany resident, I take no pleasure in giving such a good review to a restaurant outside of Albany. But good pizza is good pizza. It is what it is.This establishment understands the art of the sauce ratio. So many times you have a pizza and they barely put any sauce. It is the blend of the sweetness of sauce and sharpness of the cheese that makes the pizza.I will have to give up another one of my subscriptions, because I have to work Cugino’s into my budget.I was told the owner also ran PJs pizza, which was in Albany. it is a very short drive over the bridge from where we live so this is my spot moving forward.”

“Nice little watering hole off of the highway. This is cash only so be prepared (there is an ATM though). The drinks are cheap and the food from the connecting restaurant is also pretty decent. I'll definitely be back.”

“Love unmatched always welcoming and know my husband, kids and my self by name and what we like! The girls are super knowledgeable about the products and will answer any all questions you have! Always clean and smelling great in there as well! We a frequent customers here a lot!”

“Due to the Hot Dog Charlie's in Cohoes being closed due to a fire, I decided to give this location a try. Knowing that, this location is just as good as the Cohoes one. To explain, I ordered a bunch of mini dogs with mustard and meat sauce and they were exceptional. The hot dogs were tender, juicy, and had tremendous flavor. In addition, the rolls were toasted and had good taste. Also, the mustard is phenomenal and matches perfectly with the hot dogs. Finally, the meat sauce is excellent. It's light, flavorful, and has just the right amount of spice. To conclude, Hot Dog Charlie's has some of the best hot dogs I've ever had.”

“First time stopping in tonight. Ordered a Pepperoni Calzone! OMG! Hands down the best garlic tasting, perfectly cooked dough and the perfect amount of cheese and Pepperoni calzone i have ever had. Glad i stumbled upon this place tonight.”

“We came here for dinner on a train lay over, it's a hole in the wall type of place with great burgers, good drinks, and fast service, I can't recommend it enough especially if you are on a train layover! It's just across the parking lot. June was a great hostess! Can't wait to visit again on another layover!”

“This place has some of the best staff of any chain restaurant. They make it feel like it's a local sandwich shop rather than a big chain. The food is always fast, fresh, and the workers have nothing but smiles and good attitude. Don't be deterred just cause the sign says Subway, this place is great.”

“Love this place! Everyone that works there is knowledgeable, and friendly. I’ve tried most of the beers here and haven’t found one I didn’t like. Great prices, great beer, great people”

“Really surprised by the quality and portion of the food. The food I ordered was all so good! No extra charge for pricey ingredients like avocado which was nice. Very friendly staff too. The soup that came with my rice bowl also tasted great. Too bad I don't live in the area but I'd recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick bite!”

“Excellent environment!!! The girls were very nice and bubbly, made conversation, and over pleasant to interact with! My coffee was delicious, and my sandwich was made perfect! I think this is the best, cleanest dunkin i’ve been to. Absolutely will come again, and tell my friends!”

“The food is some of the best we have ever had. The sushi is fresh and the volcano is phenomenal. For the hibachi it does depend on the chef you get for showmanship but the food is spot on no matter who you get!”

“As soon as I walked in, all of the staff was busy, so I wasn't acknowledged right away. I noticed that this happens often at Starbucks. I still think that an acknowledgment is needed to ensure that someone knows that you are there. However, the associate who took care of me was great. The tables were a bit dirty. The music was fun to listen to, but it was a bit too high. If I were there with someone to talk to, I would not last long because of the music being too loud. Overall, this Starbucks is great.”

“Great food service fast ambiance clean and inviting. I ordered buffalo chicken salad & mild buffalo wings. What a great meal, I recommend all to go to either locations no difference with quality of food or friendliest of staff.”

“After only eating Chick-Fil-A in D.C. and Virginia, I was overjoyed to find out Chick-Fil-A would be right in my hometown. Although when it opened, it was always crowded, and pretty much impossible to get "fast" food for the first 1-2 months, it has calmed down, and is pretty fast in terms of service. I went around 6pm, and there was a pretty large dinner rush line. However, the staff remained very calm and mature and dealt with the crowd smoothly and quickly. I got a Chick-Fil-A deluxe with buffalo sauce, and it was absolutely scrumptious! If you're ever craving chicken in the Troy-Rensselaer area, come on down and check out Chick-Fil-A! It's been worth the wait!Parking: Decent amount of spots to park, as the restaurant shares a parking lot with the adjacent Aldi.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals, cow mascot, games. Overall average kid-friendliness compared to other fast food restaurants.”

“As always food and service was excellent but thier pricing is really getting out of control and causing me to visit less and less frequently. 26.00 for 2 burgers and a soda .”

“Applebees has improved in the last 20 years. They have refocused and reworked their business plan. They are family friendly and the food is top notch. This location was slammed during my visit and the wait staff tried their best but needed more staff to earn 5 stars for service. However, this is a good place for a family meal or a date night. The decor is clean and well maintained. Stop in soon. You'll enjoy everything including their prices.”
