I've been to Innovo Kitchen in Latham several times over the years and I've enjoyed it every time. They have a unique menu that changes periodically, but I always find something that catches my eye. The interior has an industrial feel which I like, with a lot of exposed brick. The tables are made from old bowling lane wood, which is a really cool touch. When you walk in there is also a bowling pin displayed in a glass case. I remember there being a bowling alley somewhere in that plaza when I was a kid, so it seems likely the building has some history tied to that. The tables are also nice and large, which makes the dining experience more comfortable. Tonight I ordered the Monte Cristo burger which is described as battered Buckley's Bread sourdough, a 6 oz special grind burger, Taylor pork roll, Swiss, and Twin Leaf Farms maple aioli. It was quite tasty and I really enjoyed the hint of maple syrup flavor on the burger. The crinkle cut fries that came with it were also very good. Another person in our party ordered the White Chicken Parmesan, described as a crisp chicken cutlet topped with ricotta and garlic spinach and fresh mozzarella, with garlic parmesan cream and lumache pasta. They said it was delicious. Someone else had the Crispy Skin Salmon and enjoyed that as well. A child at our table ordered macaroni with red sauce. The portion was surprisingly large and they liked it, which is impressive because they are particularly finicky. For dessert we ordered something we've had here several times before, the peanut butter mud pie. It's basically ice cream in pie form with an Oreo cookie crust and chocolate fudge. It's very tasty and also a generous portion. At the end of your meal they also offer everyone at the table a tasty piece of gourmet chocolate. One thing that really stood out tonight was the attentiveness of the management. Two different managers stopped by our table at different times to check and make sure everything was good. I recognized one of them because I've seen him there before and he always seems to make a point of checking in with guests. The other person had seated us so I initially thought she was the hostess, but after she stopped by during the meal I asked if she was a manager and she confirmed that she was. I mentioned that I was impressed that two different managers had checked on us, and that every time I've dined there a manager has stopped by to make sure everything was good. I thanked her and told her it was appreciated. During the summer and fall they also have a very nice patio area for outdoor dining. On cooler nights they have heaters and a fireplace which makes it a great place to sit outside. I will definitely return here again in the future. 5 stars

The motto: Get Stuffed…read more Ordered a Rachel, and it was excellent. The seeded rye bread used was hearty and did not fall apart. It was grilled perfectly. It was good to know the turkey is roasted "in house." I took half home. In my opinion, the prices are not only fair but on the low side for the quality of food served. My sandwich was only $9.99 with chips and a pickle spear. Side salads are inexpensive and delicious I hear. The two sided laminated menu was easy to navigate. Specials of the day are posted at the entrance. Service was prompt and friendly. The charming cafe is located at the end of a strip of businesses off Rt. 7 near the Galleria 7 Food Court. There are many tables and a full bar in a well lit inside seating area. In addition, there is a great patio with nice planters on one side. Lots of parking. Easy access for wheelchairs and walkers. Looking forward to returning for a Panini, or soup, or salad, or breakfast sandwich. I will check out the catering menu to use in future. From Owner: After 20+ years on the corporate side of culinary, I traded in my 9-to-5 life to pursue my dream of opening The Stuffed Rooster. A lifetime of love, recipes, and ideas have gone into this company, and I am fortunate to have found a dedicated team to help make this dream a reality.

This is my first venture for this year in trying out new establishments. I selected Primo hoagies…read moreon Troy's Schenectady Road, purely from being impressed on the entrepreneur of this establishment. Remind me, I selected the primo Philly steak with Cooper Sharp cheese. This order came with a three dollar off coupon. I also ordered a leaf lemon tea 18 ounce bottle. The Philly steak was delicious and on the poppyseed sub roll and the Cooper cheese highlighted it just fine. The leaf lemon tea was great as usual. I was impressed by the quickness of the order, as well as the packaging. The only downside I could see where it was located. It is stuck in the middle of a complex which doesn't have ample parking space is for it, or any other establishment as well. Making it more difficult also is the one-way areas stuck in the middle, which didn't appear to be very well thought out. I ended up parking over the other side of the lot and walked over. I was lucky to find a spot even parking on the other side of the lot. A few small notes. Please designate an area when people come in with an arrow that says pick up orders. And for us older gentlemen that used to order using my last name, ordering online causes your order to be designated as your first name, last initial. And also think about wrapping the sub in wax paper and THEN wrapping it in aluminum foil. This is in case somebody wants to throw it in the microwave. It didn't seem to hurt my microwave, but the thought occurred to me seconds after I threw it in, thinking they wouldn't wrap it in aluminum foil and then wrap it in plastic would they? I immediately took it out and out of the foil and wrapped it up in the wax paper, throw it back in the microwave for two minutes, and it was fine. Nice establishment, great food, reasonable price, not so great location for parking.i

I'm out of superlatives for Hooked, but since it had been a while since we had been, I thought it…read morewise to update my review. This is a haute cuisine place that is masked by the casual dining atmosphere. Seriously: top notch chef, original recipes, a core dedication to quality seafood, paired with a fresh fish counter and some prepared food to go. We usually go for something special, but tonight I decided to get an old childhood standby, fried clams (the Boston Basket) and the fish burger sandwich. I did not expect either to be as transportive as they turned out to be. The fried clams were as delicately done as I've ever had: not crispy, but not too floppy, with excellent breading. And while I prefer my clams naked, we tried all three of the dipping sauces -- a remoulade, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Now normally I loathe cocktail sauce and can take tartar sauce or leave it, so I figured we'd eat up the remoulade and ignore the other two. Still, I gave them little nibbles. Man! The cocktail sauce was like no other I've had, with a heavy hint of horseradish and a far fresher flavor than I've ever had. Then the tartar sauce -- genius! It had a delicate spicing, with capers providing a floral backdrop. That was only a preliminary, as the fish burger proved to be complex, with hints of multiple kinds of fish, and a fennel-based spicing. I ended up having that afterglow, as if I'd had a couple of cocktails and was sitting next to a fireplace, that is the hallmark of truly fine food at an advanced level. We also had the usual outstanding service, attentive without being pushy. I seriously think Hooked should consider splitting into two restaurants: one where the ambiance is upgraded to match the high caliber of the food, and another cheaper one that is strictly fast casual and takeout, and they'd more than double the business. There is a restaurant back where we come from in California, Turtle Bay, that did this with fine dining on one side and the quick, simple, and affordable food on the other side, with a big shared kitchen between them but with completely separate ambiances. That way I could come back more frequently, and still have the original Hooked for special occasions!

I finally decided to give Hooked a try after hearing many great things about their lobster roll…read more With that said, I'm glad I did because the food was delicious. To explain, I ordered the cold lobster roll with fries and it was great. First off, the lobster was tender, incredibly fresh, and they loaded the roll with it. Likewise, the roll was perfect. It was airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My only issue with the lobster roll was that it needed more mayonnaise. In the same manner, the fries were phenomenal. To make plain, the fries were scorching hot and seasoned to perfection. Also, they had a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. These were simply great fries. Essentially, Hooked offers great lobster rolls and fries.

I got sriracha ginger, not very spicy just FYI. Everything was cooked well - and fast. They even bring your food to your table. I was shocked how good the food was. They also use compostable bowls/lids, which was another nice touch. I even got a soda and the total was only $13!!!!

Also tried the Texas twinkies which were great. Pictured meats- pork belly, brisket, and pork ribs. So yum! I also love all the sauces you can get. They have so many. I went for tangy mustard, og bbq, and Alabama white sauce. Looking forward to going back to try their specials. Get there early, because once they sell out; that's it!

There are many restaurants in the space, so you can select what you like. It was a beautiful day, so we selected a table outside on the patio. I ordered the One Meat Combo Platter ($20.) with two sides: Burnt Ends of Pork, Potato Salad, and Beans. I almost selected Mac and Cheese as a side. They did not have Cole Slaw. The pork was at least 20% soft fat! I should have known, but I have never ordered ends before today. The Barbeque sauce was very tasty. I should have ordered Pulled Pork or brisket. The potato salad was very good since the mayo was cut with mustard the way I like it to be. The Beans which were flavored with bits of pork tasted good. I took half home. My food was 3-4 stars. Service was efficient. Note from website: Dotty Lou's BBQ provides guests with a unique and delicious dining experience that combines the rich traditions of Texas smoking principles with bold flavors.
