    Came here after finding out that the Albany location was closed for renovations. Waitress was quick and super friendly. The venue is huge and pretty. Would be great for an event. The flight of 6 is for the drinks on draft so we didn't order it. We ordered two full pours of different sours and enjoyed it. We ordered a different sour to go as well. For food, we got the nachos, druthers mac, and the burger. Nachos were good and interestingly the Jalepenos were sweet. The burger was smaller than I expected, seemed like a fast food size. The Mac and cheese on the other hand was huge and I took half to eat for dinner. The food was very good overall and I would come back.

    First off, the indoor and especially the outdoor space here at Druthers is quite nice. You'd never know it from a drive by, just how expansive it really is. Also, the parking lot is huge. The outdoor space is inviting and pretty. However on this particular evening I opted for indoor seating as I am not the most heat tolerant. I tried calling ahead but as this was somewhat last minute, reservations were closed. My wait wasn't terrible though and I was seated in about 25 minutes on a busy night. I didn't think that was bad at all. You can get a drink by the bar and hang out or just park yourself on one of many benches available as you wait. Once seated, we had their beer cheese and Bavarian pretzels which is a must and bang bang shrimp for starters. We ordered a Buffalo chicken mac and cheese, a burger, an angry bee pizza and a drutherbird fried chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich stood out the least to me, and was simply average. Everything else was good. However, I thought that the skillet mac and cheese was not as thick and creamy as the one that I'm used to at the Druthers located in downtown Saratoga. The meal was good but different from what I am used. Again, all personal preference. The ambiance alone here is well worth a visit though and quite surprising in a very good way!

    I have been a fan of Druthers for a long time, but maybe I can't say that as strongly anymore. Maybe they expanded too quickly and are making shortcuts. Maybe they don't care so much about quality anymore. The Mac and cheese was so over cooked you couldn't even identify the noodles. It wasn't creamy at all, the sauce was too thick and gloopy. The flavor also missed the mark. I have ordered the mac from every location multiple times and I have never been served anything like this. It was super disappointing. It pains me to write this. Even the pretzels weren't as good as usual! They were wildly salty and this sauce was too way too thick. I am not sure if it just this location, but the food was extremely inconsistent to my usual druthers experience. The service was also super disappointing. The server barely stopped by our table and whispered to us whenever he was there. It is so wide open and loud in this space we could barely hear him. Yeah, this place is GORGEOUS. I was stunned. It's like a wedding venue. I can only imagine how lit that patio is in the summer. I will return to enjoy that patio and give them another chance, but I don't think I will be talking as highly about Druthers any longer.

    We came in here as a group of three because we were searching for something new. I personally wasn't a fan of the Mac and Cheese but was told the pizza was good. We also ordered the nacho waffle fries which were better than we expected. I'd recommend trying those out. As for the service . It was a little slow and the hostesses didn't seem too energetic.

    Finally, I got to visit on Mother's Day! It was relatively busy with Mother's Day and graduation celebrations, but thankfully, there were plenty of seats at the bar, so my boyfriend and I sat there. We were immediately greeted by the bartender and given some food and drink menus. I opted for the "Quite Polarizing" sour, and my boyfriend ordered the Red Ale. Both were great! For food, we ordered the Angry Bee Flatbread with red sauce, pepperoni, candied jalapeños, mozzarella and honey, and the French Onion Grilled Cheese. The Flatbread was the size of a pizza - it was more than enough for the two of us. It was thin, crispy, and super flavorful. The grilled cheese was absolutely delicious! If you're a fan of French onion soup, you need this in your life! Overall, the food and beer were great, the bartender was so attentive, and the ambiance was nice. I'm looking forward to returning and enjoying their expansive outdoor space!

    I've been going to Saratoga druthers for years and I think Clifton Park is a great addition to the family. Good food, recently elevated pub grub and quick service plus good beer and a casual atmosphere.

    First time at the Clifton Park Druthers. This places is huge compared to Saratoga. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Same great menu. We did apps of fried pickles, beer pretzels and bread boneless wings. Our son had the blacken shrimp tacos. Service was good. Nice patio and it appeared they have s beer garden. Definitely coming back!

    As recommended by some Yelpers, my husband decided to come here for a visit during our Saratoga Springs visit. They don't accept reservations so we take our chances of being a walk in and picked the after 8 pm dinner. I love the ambiance. A typical brewery in the upstate where everyone wanted to start their weekend by getting some food and drinks with family and friends. They have plenty of options for foods and of course with their beers. The famous Druthers Mac and cheese was what I picked , a seldomly food offered to any brewery houses. Of course, the hubby was happy to try two of their famous drafts. It is closing at 11 am , kitchen at 10 tonight but still can see lot if people coming in. This place must be a popular hangout of locals and we know how exactly why. Service is fast. Friendly staff. Pricing is accommodating. Location is good.

    Each successive Druthers site seems to be bigger than the last. It also appears that the phrase, "If you build it, they will come" applies as well. With all the terrace and patio space this one has (obviously closed in January), and parking to accommodate it all, it almost felt like I was parked in Halfmoon on a busy night. Reservations are strongly suggested for larger groups, and I'm really glad we had one. The beer list continues to be extensive and varied, with something for everyone. At our table, their milkshakes were popular as well. The beers I ordered were even discounted on my receipt - I don't know why, and I'm not complaining about it. On a busy night such as this one, it may take a little longer for a large beer order to make it to your table. If you're impatient for that first beer, maybe get it at the bar yourself. The food menu has changed maybe a little. I saw a lot of "old favorite" appetizers and meals among those at my table. This time, I tried their Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich. The piece of chicken was larger than the bun, nicely cooked, crisp coating, good texture with the add-ins such as pickles and bacon. But it was lacking in taste. Is the chicken brined? If not, consider it, or a slightly spicier batter, and that would do the trick. The fries I got to accompany it were crisp, but unusually small, and merely warm, as if they had been under a heat lamp awaiting their turn to be packed into their cup. Among all the Druthers I've visited (3 of the 4 so far), I've always experienced great service, and this one was just as good. In general, Druthers remains a great option for food and drink.

    Chocolate raspberry porter!! Good beer lousy food, WAY long wait for table.

    Food was edible but too expensive. . Fries were way too salty. Definitely not worth the money though. Coffee is horrible.

It being July 4th, Independence Day, I thought it would be an appropriate day to enjoy a hot dog. Just ask Joey Chestnut! I'm not going to reduce my # of *s because we really enjoyed our food and beverages. But I do have to question what I had to drink. The board said it was an Ommegang Grande Tripel stout at 5.5 ABV ($9). That level of ABV would be reasonable for a stout, but the color of the brew was golden like a typical Tripel, and not dark like the typical Stout. The bartender gave us a sample, and it was full of flavor with my wife noticing the vanilla tones that were described by the bartender. I didn't initially identify any specific flavor other than delicious and different than I would have expected from a stout. I also would not take issue with the posted 5.5 ABV. HOWEVER, a quick reference to Ommegang online as I write this says that it is a Belgium Tripel and the ABV is 9. Yes, NINE ABV! I would definitely have noticed if I were drinking a 9 ABV on an empty stomach. I also would have noticed it driving the car after finishing a pint within one hour. For those familiar with Utah Phillips, "It was good though!" But on to the food. We ordered a shareable Tot-Chos ($12.99) consisting of tater tots, tomatoes, avocado, cheese sauce, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle aioli. These were very tasty and not too spicy, with crispy on the outside and soft on the inside tots. My wife ordered the Sooo Cali ($10.99) hot dog. The black angus beef hot dog is very tasty even before it is topped with wild arugula, tomato, avocado, crispy onion strings, and spicy basil aioli. The combined flavors work well together on the Kings Hawaiian rolls. My choice was to try the Hogfather ($10.99) - a pork bratwurst with bacon chipotle onion jam, chipotle aioli, and miso ranch. The bratwurst was delicious and again, the flavors worked well together. BTW, my wife had a Grimm Nothing But Citra ($8), an IPA that even I found acceptable. We really need to return here more frequently.

(We were first in, but numerous groups followed as we sat.) When we tried to order, she still didn't look at us, then she leaned forward and asked what we'd said. This happened four times over the course of two basic burger orders. Another couple came in trying to get a refund for something. Miss Cashier either couldn't understand them or deliberately avoided dealing with it. The couple left, and she spent the next little while complaining about how hard her job was - loudly enough to be heard throughout the restaurant. A woman complained to the manager, whose solution was to turn the music up so the whining couldn't be heard. This is the first time in a 5 Guys that NO one smiled at us. NO one said "Hi" or "Thank you". NO one could be bothered with customer service except an older woman who seemed to be heading things up and handed us our food - at least she made eye contact. 5 Guys is usually pretty consistent. Not this one. Burgers were awful. Mealy in parts and hard and crusty in others - how do you do that when it's cooked at the same time? Buns were soggy for some reason, despite no condiments. Fries weren't even crisp. What a disappointment.
