    2 eggs, breakfast potatoes and crispy bacon
    Annmarie L.

    I'm not one to complain but I had breakfast this morning at the Halfmoon Diner and was surprised at the lack of taste my meal had. There was no seasoning on the breakfast potatoes/home fries or the eggs. I also remember the potatoes having sautéed onions included, there wasn't any in my home fries. The glass of juice which came with the meal has been reduced to maybe 4 oz, it was larger. My sister had pancakes and she was happy with her meal. The service is still great. Very attentive and friendly. Just hoping they improve the egg breakfast.

    Buffalo Chicken Wrap and a Pancake for lunch @ Halfmoon Diner

    Great diner. Those bad stars are misplaced. It is a real nice shiny silver diner, with people that actually welcome the guests. The food (see pics) was made fast and served hot at the counter! Fluffy pancakes were plenty fat and tasty wraps, too. Fantastic all round diner food in a clean spot! Good for bar hopping: it includes a full service booze and liquor rack. Review: 5+

    Roasted turkey sandwich

    Not sure what's happening or this is just how they make it. Ordered a roasted turkey sandwich. Only got turkey and lettuce on the bread no tomato no mayo, not even cheese, dry as can be. Not sure if you're cutting corners or trying to save on cost, but it's a little disappointing and doesn't make you wanna return or order again

    Chicken salad with bacon on rye toast
    Judy K.

    Visiting the area while my mom is in rehab. On the way home I remember this diner from when I used to live here. Decided to give it a try. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich with bacon on rye. Asked for lettuce tomato on the side and coleslaw. It honestly came out pretty quickly and brought it home and it was delicious! Huge serving and I think I'll have lunch for tomorrow. The coleslaw was nice and milky and had a little sweetness to it which I wasn't sure I would like but I loved it! It went great with my black raspberry milkshake I got it Stewart's. Haha. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and it even looks like they have a full bar if you feel like a cocktail.

    Lunch at 1:15 pm on a Wednesday. I do not think I have given a review with Two Stars before. So I am thinking: Is it justified? It is. Let me count the ways. I ordered the Wednesday Special of Pot Roast. It was tough, inedible! Please check out my photo! The vegetable was mundane. The salad had past due pieces of lettuce in it. The Italian Wedding Soup was good. This may sound petty, but the one package of crackers served to me was in pieces. When I told the server I could/would not eat the beef, he said I could pick out something else. He never came back to the table! No eye contact. Walked briskly by booth several times. My husband had the Eggs with Virginia Ham Breakfast. He ordered wheat toast but received white bread. The home "fries" were unique in look which was a surprise. The potatoes were sliced thin; they looked and tasted steamed. Bland. The eggs were fine, and the slice of ham was large. $15.49 The server only charged us for the breakfast. Right thing to do. Just when I thought nothing else could be sketchy. The woman at the cash register was having an animated conversation with someone on her ear bud. Rude. No eye contact. Barely mumbled a thank you. We decided we will never return to this diner! Too many negatives including mediocre food, poor service , and bad attitude from server, the older person in charge, and cashier. Sign on jukebox at our booth said Out of Order. The diner seemed out of order. We are regulars at the Blue Ribbon in Schenectady that is a first class diner. Consistent good service and food over the years. Even the desserts in the case at Halfmoon Diner appeared to be inferior in variety and appearance to those at the Blue Ribbon.

    Greek salad, added gyro strips.

I do not understand the reviews complaining about the food being cool, small portions, not as good as in the past, poor service, and untidy restroom. Our experience today was not any of that. At 11:30, the restaurant was at least 80% full (both rooms), and our orders were taken quickly and food arrived hot in a short amount of time. No errors. Orders ranged from eggs over easy with grits to burgers to kids meals to Crispy chicken tenders. Five Stars for -- Excellent, attentive server named Callie!

    I've ordered takeout from Cracker Barrel many times, but this was my first time trying their steak,…read moreand it will definitely be my last. I paid over $26 for a New York strip, and it was absolutely terrible. The meat was so tough.... it was like shoe leather. I could barely cut it, even with a steak knife. It was also full of gristle and fat, making it extremely unpleasant to eat. I was starving, so I forced myself to eat mine despite the poor quality. My husband, however, refused to eat his at all, and ended up throwing it away....which was frustrating because we don't believe in wasting money like that. To be fair, the vegetables were good and the fruit was fresh, as usual. But the steak was a complete disappointment and not worth the price at all. Do yourself a favor, skip the steak. If I want a decent steak for takeout in the future, I'll be going to Outback. Cracker Barrel really missed the mark on this one.

We had a small private room upstairs in this historic building with original wide wood floor boards and staircases. I ordered the Craic --grilled roast beef, sautéed onions, provolone cheese, horseradish mayonnaise on a baguette($18.00) which was served au jus. The beef was tender and the baguette was fresh. It was large so I ate have and took half home. Delicious! I also had the French Onion Soup (along with three others.) Sadly, it was spoiled for me by a completely soft/soggy bread slice (mush) below the cheese top. I quietly removed it from my bowl. However, the broth was flavorful. I remember it being excellent. Reason for 4 stars instead of five. My grandson enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie. Since he is a growing lad, he also had the well made fries. The three salads ordered were excellent. One salad had salmon, one had Buffalo Chicken, and one had beets and goat cheese. Generous amounts of protein were served. The children enjoyed the toasted cheese sandwich, Mac and cheese, and waffle fries. The Wings were good. The extensive menu is easy to read with a variety of exciting food choices available. Always something new to try!

We were also the first people in the door when they opened, so they could not have run out. Will return!

It looks like it's now been just over eleven years since that last visit. The bottom line is that this experience was very good. Arriving on a Friday morning at about 9:45 I was meeting family and friends who had arrived at 9 AM. That was the plan. I've always wondered how this IHOP stayed in business because at the hours that I would normally drive by there would seldom be any cars in the parking lot. Today, there were not only about a dozen cars but also two charter busses traveling between Montreal and N.Y.C. Those passengers had finished a buffet that had been set up exclusively for them and were preparing to depart once they all returned from IHOP's restrooms. After joining my table of family and friends, who had just finished their meals, a server asked if I'd like some coffee and if I was interested in seeing a menu. I agreed to both and ordered the Spicy Poblano Eggs Benedict ($15.29) without any side of hashbrowns or fruit. This was abnormally early for me to be having my first meal of the day. Coffee ($3.69) was decent and my food was served promptly. The Benedict was attractive looking. The eggs were nicely poached with running yolks served on top of tender shredded beef, fire-roasted poblano peppers, red bell peppers, chopped serrano peppers, onions, and English muffin halves. The hollandaise sauce was very tasty. Overall, even with all the different types of peppers I did not find the dish spicy. But it was quite flavorful and I enjoyed it. It now remains to be seen how much time will pass before I visit an IHOP again.

Their Greek pizza is great, it has artichoke hearts, broccoli, garlic on I think, onions, Kalamata, olives, mozzarella cheese, and sliced feta cheese.

They are great beliefs, stuffed with lamb and rice and dill seasoning and they give you a tzatziki sauce on the side delicious.. they do have chicken, Parm dishes and chicken, marsala and other pasta and seafood dishes too. It's not all Greek and their soups are wonderful.. The service could be a little better. They need to work on that. It takes time for them to get to you, but I can't complain about the food at all. I've never had a bad dish there and all the servers I had were very personable. I think they could use some updating inside the building, but if you want some pretty decent Greek food that's the place to go and very inexpensive and large portions.

I understand on a holiday it can be busier. our issue wasn't with the wait, despite our section not being busy. our issue was no one checked on us and said we are running a bit behind we will be right with you. our issue was the hostess knowing who our server was and what area we were seated based on me complaining she never came over. she called her "messy" and asked what i wanted her to do. lastly when i spoke to the owner he apologized after we sat in his establishment for an hour hungry and didn't offer to feed us. It seems as though they know they have an issue with this waitstaff and won't address it. We had a reservation and would not have minded a wait that was not the issue.
