    Nachos
    Samantha D.

    I have never been a fan of this place. I have worked in Glens Falls since 2005 so I used to go there quite a bit with coworkers and friends for lunch or after work on Fridays for happy hour. The food & service was always just okay for me. I mostly went because others wanted to. They do have a nice outdoor dining area. My husband wanted to try it the other day and experience it. We tried to go there the other night for drinks but after standing at the bar for five minutes being ignored we left. Friday we stopped for lunch. We asked to sit by the road to people watch and the hostess said they were short staffed and were trying to seat people close together which was fine. It took our waitress a long time to come take our order, and then a long time to bring our drinks. Thank God we weren't parched or something. My husband wanted to order an IPA-they didn't have any. He ordered an Oktoberfest beer and said it was gross. I got a Brisk lemonade and it was $4.25......burgers and salads were $20+ for lunch. I told my husband it wasn't very good but he wanted to try it anyway. After looking at the menu we split the nachos. They were soggy and weird. All the toppings except the cheese sauce were on the bottom under the chips. We almost went to Mikado and wished we had even though we have been going there a lot. We got to watch it from our seat across the road. The table next to us didn't finish their food and got it boxed up. The hostess gave me their food and I told her it wasn't mine and she took it back and gave it to the right person. But if I hadn't said anything that man wouldn't have gotten his leftovers...all of these little things aren't a big deal but added up together kind of show what it is like here. I have tried it many times and rarely have a good experience. They have a nice neon sign though.

    the street corn was large enough to share the fish and chips was crispy and cooked perfectly . the eggplant sandwich was good and the herb roll was an except complement

    Beer

    Been coming to Davidson's for many many years, usually interspaced by months, if not years. This was the areas first and initially premier brew pub. Unfortunately as the years have passed it has been plagued by poor food. The plague continues... Listen, the beer here is acceptable, if not very good (hence the 3 stars) and that has been consistent over the years but I just can't wrap my head around why the food has been consistently bad. Having the best location in Glens Falls is no longer going to serve you unless you can back it up with quality food! They've even gone so far as to lease the kitchen out to various deep fried and microwaved Sysco shoveling food pushers and as you would imagine, that hasn't helped. I recently saw that they're was someone slinging burgers out of the kitchen on a to go basis as well but no sight of that anymore... Hey here's a suggestion- partner with ACC, get some new blood in the kitchen, hire and cut an actual CHEF into the business and stop selling microwaved Mexican street corn slop. Pick one thing to do and do it better that anyone else, like brick oven pizza or egg rolls for gods sake. Do better, please.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich with bacon and extra American cheese
    Michael S.

    Drove into Glens Falls to visit some family and decided to have lunch here at Davidson Brothers. Our server recommended the Fried Chicken Sandwich. It's a house-brined chicken breast that's battered in buttermilk, deep-fried, and then dressed with bacon aioli and served between a brioche bun with fried pickles. I opted for bacon and extra American cheese on mine. The sandwich was excellent. I thought the chicken was well-seasoned. It was flavorful and paired well with the fried pickles. The bacon and American cheese were the icing on the cake for me. I'll be returning here for another meal. Their chicken sandwich is the best I've had in the 518.

    We randomly came across this place when other restaurants in the area were full. Glad we did... Awesome beer, live music, and outdoor space. Their burger was juicy and nicely done.

    11/11/2022. After being told about this place, from a coworker, my wife and I took the ride out. We both enjoy a good craft beer, paired with a good meal. Let me tell you, we got both here. Upon entering, we absolutely loved the decore, had a very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered a beer, and food. Both were served quickly. Beers were great, and so was our meal. I would highly recommend this place to everyone! Great jobs guys!!! You have yourself a new returning customer. My brother and I plan to go for lunch on 11/26/2022, see ya soon.

    Corned Beef Eggroll
    Chris S.

    Maybe a second act in our future? Great (and simple) business model. Food - loved by the entire family (Mac 'n Cheese Pizza, Twisted Sticks, and Corned Beef Egg Rolls). Add in the Ample Sample of the Davidson Bros. Brews and a couple of pints (plus the Saranac Shirley Temple) and we were very impressed!

    a serving of mexican food
    Sue D.

    My goodness! I wish I had a bigger stomach! The menu here may have some typical "bar" food-but it tasted absolutely amazing! As soon as I saw the Mexican street corn bake-I had to have it! Served with tortilla chips, it definitely hit the spot! We also ordered fried pickles, steak tacos as appetizers-and I didn't need to order an entree! So full! My friends ordered fried chicken sand which, Mac n cheese and the Turkey apple melt which we had to take to go because we were full on appetizers! I will definitely return and would 100% recommend! I cannot remember my waiters name, but he was great and funny! We were a bachelorette party Saturday 4/24 around 6/7 pm!

    shrimp tacos w mango salsa. had a bite of shrimp/salsa out of the first taco & this is was left on the plate untouched and unasked  about.

    Eight months earlier, I visited the Mean Max taproom in Troy. While I enjoyed my visit there, I was…read moredisappointed that so many of the brews listed on their website were not available there, only at their taproom in Glens Falls. Well, I finally got here, and it was indeed worth it for me. The space is large and comfortable. Parking is convenient, usually spaces on US 9 right in front of their entrance is almost always available, and their downtown location makes it very convenient to visit other businesses. One of the reasons I like Mean Max so much is my preference for darker beers. They always have a number of them available, enough to make a flight of just those if you want (flights here are five 5oz. glasses), with quite a range of ABV's, if that matters to you. While the Troy taproom has numerous pinball machines, here they only have one Golden Tee with a large screen for it on the wall (something my friends would love). This area of Glens Falls is definitely worth a visit, and Mean Max should be part of it.

He's also one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. I'm not a violent man, but I'd slap you across the face if at the bar you told me with a straight face the beer you ordered wasn't one of the best dang ones you've ever had. The only negative thing I can say is that now all other beer will lack in comparison.

Yuck. But their single lager and single pilsner are always good/consistent. And they have one meddle/award that they are proudly showing off, and they should but guess what kind of beer it is? A Pilsner. Take the hint you don't need 17 easy to make no effort IPAs that all taste the same. Food seems like an afterthought here. It's consistently average. They make a decent pizza here, but it's always soggy. The outside crust typically is perfect, often with a light char which is nice, but underneath the cheese and sauce, which they to put too much of on and undercook it, you wind up with a soggy slice of pizza that tastes OK. I also had their poutine recently. I can live with the vegetarian turkey gravy, which tasted pretty good, cheese curds were OK but what's going on with these fries? Soggy, brown. Are they brown because they're fry oil is disgusting? Are they just cooking the crap out of these things. I can't imagine that's the case because they're not crispy at all and taste awful. Waiting and bar staff seem to be wonderful people- they're attentive, food comes out relatively quickly. Service is not rushed. Atmosphere in this place is pretty good though I would like to have the music turned up a little bit louder so it's just not background noise and so you can actually hear the lyrics or discern what song is being played. Music done right can be part of the experience. Right now it's just a soft rumble in the background and it just becomes an annoyance. There's literally been extensive research on music in your restaurant and bar and how loud it's supposed to be and the music selection. Why places like this pay absolutely no attention to that research is beyond me. MUSIC IS IMPORTANT! Treat it that way please. Ultimately, even though the food is averaged to below average, and I can't hear the music, we continue to come back here because of the beer . Imagine if they put the same effort into their menu...

What's on tap probably changes frequently here. I had checked their list on their website a couple of days earlier, and either the site was a little old, or beers had already changed.

It was very crisp and refreshing, with a prominent but not overwhelming floral palate. Food options are limited to popcorn and snacks plus whatever food truck might be there, so check their calendar of events for that.
