    Fish n chips
    Nette B.

    I thought there is only residential in this area but a nice place here. Ambiance is nice. My fish and chips is really good and so as the burger and ribs that my friends enjoyed. Better if you reserve in advance.

    Fish and Chips

    Came here after my parent's hit a few buckets on the driving range. We were told it was a 45 minute wait but we were seated quicker than that. Service was great, our waitress was very nice and attentive. The wings are delicious here! The spud bites were also delicious! I got the bacon cheeseburger, very good, however the bun was a kaiser roll which I didn't realize. It was very interesting to have that with a burger, wasn't my favorite but my sister loved it with her burger. I was told the fish and chips are the best menu item. Fries are very good as well. It is very very loud in the dining room so definitely come prepared for that.

    Turkey Club Sandwich with fried

    We were looking for a place to get a club sandwich. Found one! Had a nice lunch outside overlooking the golf course which was nice. Service was fast and friendly. Overall good experience.

    Yummy!

    It's still covid so we made a reservation because FB advertised they have music tonight from 5 - 7 ! It sure isn't gonna be the collage crowd cause they're still sleeping. They know their business cause the place was packed. We were seated right away not far from the guy playing the guitar... playing James Taylor type songs great for listening and enjoying dinner all in one. We sat in the back room previously a porch and in the past few years the owners enclosed it with windows. Except for the little to bright lights the room is just great. Clean, newly remodeled and will hold maybe 75 or so people. All servers had on masks according to CDC rules and customers too until they were seated to eat. We have to follow the rules until we are finished with this darn pandemic! DH ordered a beer and I ordered a Downeast Cider @ $10. ish and a Duo half soup half chicken salad sandwich and a cup of mushroom soup $9.49. The soup was home made and the sandwich and all other menu items use Hellman's mayo my favorite! Not everyone uses it and they list in on the menu! That's a major plus. Had to order carrot cake for dessert because there's always room for dessert. As you can see from reviews we've been here before but what a change food is just great even during covid!

    It's my go-to for rocking fish & chips, scallops gruyere and of course Rude Bobby the bartender who never fails to make me smile.

    I knew this tavern existed, but never stopped before. This evening my wife & I decided on a simple…read moredinner and a drink. After checking Yelp for suggestions, Crescent Wrench popped up as a suggestion. A short time later we arrived at the Wrench. Upon entering the Barmaid/Waitress greeted us with a warm hello. We took a table and were immediately asked what beverage we wanted. We each found something off the menu that sounded good. I ordered the hot Italian Combo which came with fries. My wife had the hamburger quesadilla and she loved it. Both were hot and very good. The Tavern isn't huge, but it is cozy and this is what I'd call a Home Town Tavern.

    Was on my way back from grocery shopping and my son wanted wings. I googled for some new wing spots…read moreand this one showed up. The address looked familiar but couldn't remember the name. This restaurant housed Pam's pub and was probably taken on by new management in the last year or so. Overall the place is a perfect place if you like to watch football. The place was packed with football enthusiasts watching the game, drinking beer, refilling popcorn and screaming as their team scores or messes up. This is a true American joint with typical American food. Wings were decent, quesadilla, macaroni salad and fries were great. I'm yet to eat the wrap as I was stuffed and had to bring it home. Overall a great place that's tucked away in a strip mall. Most of the seating is on bar stools with swivel chairs that actually gets you a better view of different games.

    For context, I rate products and experiences on a simple scale: 5 = love it, 4 = like it, 3 = okay,…read more2 = didn't like it, 1 = hated or unsafe. Another great visit to Innovo Kitchen I've been to Innovo Kitchen several times over the years and have reviewed them before, and today's visit didn't disappoint either. One thing I really like about Innovo is that they frequently change the menu, so there's always something new to try, and I've never had trouble finding something that sounds good. Tonight I went with the Rigatoni Riggies with tomato vodka sauce and chicken, and it was delicious. The warm bread that came with it was also really tasty. We also tried the Dorito Cool Ranch tater tots, which were delightful. But the real showstopper was the peanut butter mud pie. Soooooo good. Definitely one of those desserts that makes you wish you had ordered two. What really made tonight's visit memorable, though, was our waiter, Matthew. He noticed the funny design on my T-shirt and struck up a conversation about it. We laughed and chatted for a bit, and eventually he mentioned that he's been a waiter for 27 years. It showed. Matthew was high-energy, funny, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. He checked on us several times and seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing. Watching him work was like watching someone who has truly mastered his craft. It was a master class in waitership, and it made an already great meal even better. Great food, a fun atmosphere, and an excellent server. Another very enjoyable visit to Innovo Kitchen.

They are always pleasant and attentive. However, the food is not as good as a story. Your "experience" starts by reading the menu and being greeted by relatively high prices - which isn't an issue if the food is stellar (spoiler alert, it's not). I have had multiple dishes here from a roast beef sandwich, burger, chicken Caesar salad, an onion pasta dish, and even a lobster Cobb salad. Every single dish lacks seasoning, culinary character, and is just bland. I want to like it, but they make it very hard. If you go here, maybe just have a drink at the bar and go eat some place else.

    BEST.DIVE.IN.AREA!…read more Local resident here. I remember when it was under it's former name, "Everydays". Please do not let the internal appearance fool you. The customers and staff are welcoming. There is outdoor seating for warmer months. Lets talk about burgers. To.die.for. Burgers are huge, the bun is monogrammed. They can customize any way you wish. And tasty!!! Splurge on the fries with (beef) gravy and plentiful. We have also ordered wings as an appetizer - crispy, tasty with just enough sauce. Mild is VERY mild ( not complaining! ) Your feet will stick to the floor and the food will stick to your ribs. Local or Visitor - please patron and enjoy great food at reasonable price.

We have driven by this place so many times while visiting Albany and thought no way I would go in there but we were looking for lunch and the reviews were so great we had to try them and I'm glad we did. We had the cheese Quesadilla and Mexican fries. Both were excellent. I really want to try the build a burger but unfortunately today is our last day in town . I would highly recommend a visit because of the warmth and food. Don't let the outside scare you.
