Recently planned a get together with some former coworkers. Needed a place to meet up. When I…read moregoogled, "good cheap eats in Schenectady," the 20 North Broadway Tavern topped the short list. Done. It was an instant hit. I wanted the pastrami sandwich pictured on the website. Turns out, it was every bit as good as it looked. Probably the best I've had in the Capital Region. I think it came with coleslaw but they let me switch it for a small salad. The beer was cold. The server/ bartender was both friendly and efficient. The food came up relatively quickly. I was relieved and delighted. The tavern has just the right look. It's cute from the outside with nice signage. Inside, the lighting is dim-- especially at night--with the feel of a cool dive bar. If you want a more festive setting during the summer, there's outdoor seating complete with hanging string lights. That actually looked very inviting but my friends chose to stay indoors due to the threat of rain. As we prepared to leave, my friends were wondering why they hadn't been to the tavern before. One thing for sure is that we'll be back for more "good cheap eats" and great beer.

Oh man, we are so glad we did. My fried chicken sandwich was hearty and delicious. There was a generous amount of fries that managed to hold their crisp and still be tasty (difficult with delivery). The coleslaw is also good, but I do wish it came with some more than the small cup. My husband loved my meal and also enjoyed his own (wings). The food was slightly oversalted for my tastes, but still really delicious. We are definitely going to be adding this place to our rotation. They are great and we hope they stick around!

We had the cheese Quesadilla and Mexican fries. Both were excellent. I really want to try the build a burger but unfortunately today is our last day in town .

There was no way to order cheese sauce on the side on DoorDash so the fries were soggy but the flavor was good.

The service was good, the bartender was also the waitress for the whole establishment (full bar and about 4 tables), we never waited long for drink refills or any food. There was an older gentleman who was cleaning tables. We ordered hot wings, pretzel bites. A beef, philly cheese, Buffalo chicken and fish slider and a chicken philly sub. The wings were crispy and well cooked but the sauce was in the bottom of the bowl they were served in not on the actual wings. I was hoping for a good homemade blue cheese, but I think it was Ken's. The pretzel bites were crispy on the outside and buttery I think the cheese sauce was velveeta, which I liked with the pretzels. The beef, philly and Buffalo chicken sliders were good. The fish was a awful it was topped with coleslaw that was overwhelming mostly celery seed. The chicken philly was ok, but was topped with velveeta, I would ask for a different kind of cheese if I ordered it again. The fries were a little soggy and some of the tots were crispy but others were soggy.

The lack of flavor and basic presentation was over compensated by portion. The gnocchi was not warm with a small amount of sauce buried at the bottom of the bowl. The pancetta overcooked and the overall dish lacked flavor. The second item was a massive chicken cutlets sandwich. This was similar with no flavor despite the pesto. The only dish that was not boring and very delicious was the carrot cake, likely from a separate bakery. I wasnt drinking that evening but the draft list contained some exceptional breweries. The server was 5 stars and the rating does not reflect his craft. This maybe a place for beer rather than dinner.

I finally made it to Jumpin' Jacks the other day. It's a mid-century outdoor diner, which is a local institution. I felt as though I traveled back in time to the 1950s or stepped into a scene from that old tv show, "Happy Days." The place looks awesome. I ordered a Jack Burger which consists of double hamburger patties covered in cheese and coleslaw on a bun. While the patties look flat they are tasty and very filling. I also had some fries, which were very good. I was stuffed. The 2 Jack Burgers--one for a friend-- fries and two fountain drinks ran me $26. Not bad. I was there for an early dinner at about 4:30pm. I've been warned that the lines can get very long. My friends suggested in order to avoid crowds I'm best off showing up at off hours. It was a fun experience. I finally get it. This a bit of Americana and those burgers taste good, too.
