After a long day of moving my kid into college, we went to Hattie's for dinner. Convenient public garage less than a block away. $2/hr. The decor won me over as we walked in - front room felt very much like restaurants in NOLA. Walking through the back room was even better with Spanish moss draping everywhere. It might have been over the top, but it felt great. We sat outdoors in the alley which was far more charming than 'alley denotes. Served by Brian, we were taken care of like regulars. The food was great, truly. We had gumbo and jambalaya which were out of this world. Definitely heavy on the heat, but we loved both dishes. Both came out in a hot cast iron skillet which kept the food hot for quite awhile, which is a very nice touch. Dessert was similarly satisfying. We had pecan pie and banana pudding. While the pudding was good, I'll be thinking of that pecan pie for a long time - it was just perfect. I will be recommending Hattie's to my parents who know good Louisiana cuisine, and we will definitely be back.

My husband and I dined in. Hattie's original fried chicken is lip smacking good: crispy coating on the outside, the chicken is tender and juicy. We opted for 3 sides: sweet potato fries, Mac and cheese and Hattie's collard greens. All three are generous in size and absolutely delicious! The young men who were behind the counter are friendly, attentive and keep the place spotless. As we were packing up the rest of our food to take home, one of the employees offered to clear our table for us.

Mall Chinese food is what it is, but when it is coming from a place with the word "Cajun" in the…read morename it takes you by surprise. Why do they have Chinese food? And where are the typical Cajun entrees like gumbo? I dunno, but I wanted something after spending an hour chasing my toddler in the mall while he ate his snack so I stopped here. I had their 2 meats/2 sides deal, which for me consisted of General Tso chicken and bourbon chicken, green beans, and rice. The rice was edible, but not much else. It was hard, like either it hadn't been cooked properly or maybe it had sat in their fridge overnight and not reheated through. But it wasn't mushy, It was uniformly yellow, which indicated it never got near a wok to stir fry it. The green beans were wonderfully crunchy, though I got there early in the lunch rush. I would always take crisp veggies over mushy ones. The General Tso chicken was forgettable... sweet, not at all spicy, and very gloppy. But since it is readily visible through the glass window you know exactly what you are getting into, and I was willing to take those risks. The bourbon chicken was entirely forgettable, though someday I would love to go to a place to taste what real bourbon chicken is like. The price is right, the amount of food (and calories) is excessive, and there are no surprises. Well, if it was great for once that would be a nice surprise.

The atmosphere was…read morenice and it seemed like a good spot to grab seafood, but the service was noticeably slow throughout our visit. It took a while to get drinks and place our order, and we found ourselves waiting more than expected between courses. That said, the food itself had some highlights. The crab was absolutely amazing--fresh, flavorful, and definitely the standout of the meal. We also really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, which was well-prepared and hit the mark. Unfortunately, the mussels didn't live up to the same standard; they lacked flavor and just weren't our favorite. Overall, it's an okay spot with some strong dishes, but the slow service and inconsistency in the food would make me hesitate before returning.

I would definitely go again, if I'm ever in the Abany area again.

Definitely worthy of a destination meal on that basis alone, although it's not exactly ADA-friendly (you'd have to come over a pedestrian walkway or the pedestrian bridge over the river). The main seating is either on a smattering of outside café tables or within one of those three-season zipper-up enclosures, which would cut down on the enjoyment of the location if the weather isn't that nice. The American-style walk-up menu is limited, but was adequate. One does wish they had a few more ice cream options, but the basic ballpark fare is fine. The attached bathrooms at the end are pretty horrible; not sure if the restaurant management is actually responsible for them, but you are warned.

I do wish I'd have known the size of their high top as I might have chosen a different table but it was still great. Our server was very nice, I wish I remembered her name!

We got there around 1:40 p.m. and they closed at 2, so my friend was a little worried, but we were still welcomed and the staff was very friendly. It's a small place, but I actually liked that it felt cozy. We ordered 12 oysters, two orders of gumbo, a kale Caesar salad, the catfish special to split, and a bourbon-based drink. The oysters were $2 each, which I thought was a pretty good deal. The gumbo was really, really good. It came out a little lukewarm, but the flavor was absolutely there 10/10. The oysters were fresh and also 10/10. The bourbon drink was another standout. The presentation was beautiful, the little flower was such a nice touch, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The kale Caesar was where things dipped a little. It was pretty dry, so we asked for extra dressing, but the dressing didn't really add much flavor. When our waitress checked in, we were honest and said it just wasn't our favorite. I hate sending food back or complaining. I'll usually just stop eating it but she was so kind and apologetic. What really stood out was how they handled it. They told us they were taking the salad off the bill, which they absolutely did not have to do. We had planned to just take the one we had already eaten from home and fix it ourselves, but one of the staff members made us a completely new salad to go. She even massaged the kale so it was actually tender and enjoyable. That was such a thoughtful touch. The catfish was a hit for my friend. It wasn't my favorite, but I still ate it. Overall, I would definitely come back. Next time I'd probably keep it simple; oysters, gumbo, and a drink and I'd be happy. The service was phenomenal, and honestly, service really makes a place. Feeling welcomed and comfortable matters, and this place absolutely gave that.

Located right on the corner of U.S. Route 9 and Malta Ave in Ballston Spa, the outside is pretty low-key. The parking lot was a bit dark, with most of the light coming from the building itself but don't let that fool you. You walk in and you're right at the bar , with plenty of seating barside or table, if that's your vibe. Not into sitting up front? No problem, there's additional seating in the back for a more relaxed feel. Service was a win. Our waiter was courteous, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. Now the food, the Gooouda Burger caught my eye immediately. I ordered it bunless, wrapped in buttery romaine lettuce, topped with crispy bacon and fried onions. Paired it with their straw fries (seriously good) and a cold beer to wash it down. First bite? Exactly what you want. Food to temp, everything was crisp not soggy, the burger was cooked perfectly, even at well done, which is not easy to pull off. I can only speak for the burger, but based on that alone: don't judge this place by its exterior. Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised. (And yes... the picture is of a burger I couldn't wait to bite into )
