    Chili
    Andy V.

    The wings here are still top notch. Full of flavor and perfect bite to them. Wing flavors are so great, they don't skimp on the sauce. The chili which is brainless isn't my favorite, not much flavor to it. Order a side of fries, so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely a must have. They have many options for beers if thats your thing. My wife and I love the blue Hawaiian. A large party was coming so we were rushed somewhat to make room for them. It is what it is.

    Had a great time at the Rusty Nail to celebrate a friend's birthday. They have the same owners as Bentleys and The Mill (if I'm not mistaken). Bentleys is known for this birthday wing thing...show up on your actual birthday (bring your ID!)...and you get your age- worth of wings for free. There are some rules...you can't take them home and there's a charge for any left over. Blue cheese or ranch are extra. Order incrementally. All quite fair, honestly. Well it's not just Bentley's that does this... Rusty Nail does this wing-thing too (I had no idea). I was with a group of 8 (they don't take reservations and only seat you when your party is all there). Besides wings, there were orders of fish and chips, burgers, nachos, hummus, mozzarella sticks and Bavarian pretzels. Everything was served piping hot and we were happy to have items delivered as they emerged from the kitchen. I had a few of the wings and thought the bbq was the best flavor of the 3 I tasted. Buffalo wings were mild-a but too mild for me -but the mango habanero had an excellent spice level (I just didn't taste mango....it was more like sweet and sour with a solid heat). Our server was top notch and everyone really enjoyed their food. It gets a bit loud in there, but it was busy and bustling. Bonus-I ran into other friends there which was cool.

    Is that The Rusty Nail?

    So, I am at the Rusty Nail in Clifton Park, New York. Nice, clean, casual location. Love the layout. Open bar area and the dining is divided by a wall. The young lady taking my order is awesome. Always smiling and running around like a rabbit in a carrot field. Never missing a beat. I heard the wings are the best here and I have been hankering (is this really a word?) for wings. Oh the bourbon glaze is to die for. Extra crispy, blue cheese with the glaze. Can't ask for anything better. I will be back. Remember to support your local grubberies so we both don't starve

    Awesome fries. Sorry photo is blurry.

    Eat your age in "free" wings on your birthday at the Rusty Nail ?! It's apparently an idea that many people feel they need to experience at least once. In this case, a friend was celebrating a birthday and I kept company. I admit--it was both fun and delicious-- and I've come to the conclusion that most people can't eat nearly as many wings as they think. To make this promotion work you must be at least 21, show up on your actual birthday and bring a photo id. Since there were 2 of us, they started us off with 10 wings apiece, so we had 20 altogether and we only finished 17! Still, we had such a good time. The servers and bartenders were so nice and helpful. Even with plenty of seating the place was packed. It looked as though there were others also enjoying birthday wings. The Rusty Nail is an awesome sports bar. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching college football with our meal. We also ordered fries and a salad -- in an effort to be healthy-- and wound up taking half of the salad home. Please note, there is a built-in gratuity fee. If getting "birthday wings" are an idea that catches your imagination, I would say go for it at the Rusty Nail in Clifton Park. You'll probably leave very full and quite happy.

    Blue heat & Honey BBQ Wings, Sweet Potato Fry Basket, Mozzarella Sticks

    Hit or miss experience. I went for my 27th birthday and got our 27 chicken wings. Started with Blue Heat which is blue cheese & buffalo sauce as well as the honey bbq! The bbq were cooked odd or maybe the sauce?? They were really dry. Our first server also seemed to not like us...? She just seemed rude sadly but maybe it was due to shift change? Other than that, it was food and I'd go again but my birthday expedience everyone raved about wasn't worth it. Also, the prices are insane. $14 for 6 mozzarella sticks is wild!

    Rusty Nail does not take reservations. First come, first serve. Concerning large groups they will only seat you till ALL of the party is present. Tight quarters , noisy, but VERY delicious food!

    How do you get on the waiting list for a table?

    The Rusty Nail in Clifton Park does not take reservations. You can check on their site peak hours but from our experience they are ALWAYS busy! The food is definitely worth the wait.

"Taco Tuesday" "prime Rib night" Cons: Menu said the entrees came with bread service, but no bread was received. I was looking forward to the bread, but felt uncomfortable outright asking because the server was being so kind and trying their best. Staffing: It was not too busy, as there were around 5 tables seated and 6 people at the bar. Service speed was slow, but there was good reason for this as they're down one staff member. It was unclear if the kitchen was cranking out room service orders for the Hilton as well since I went on the day of the Belmont. Ambiance: There is a lovely photo-op wall with a neon sign and disco like backdrop! Each table has flowers and a candle and the tables are sturdy. Taste: Enjoyed the food that I ordered and felt the portions were appropriate and well portioned for the pricing. My server, Bruno, he assisted me with a new menu item that they just placed on the menu, the Lemon Chicken. It was tart and the chicken skin was crisp. All in all, good experience - it took considerably longer than I had expected, but I noted regulars while I was there as well.

We ordered a specially sauced wings dish (I can't remember the exact name), a classic burger, and onion rings. My son loved the burger, while my husband and I absolutely loved the jumbo wings and what were honestly the best onion rings we've ever had. Before we ordered, the server mentioned that the chefs really know what they're doing--and we 100% agreed after eating. The food was amazing, but what really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt like a place full of regulars, with a very warm and welcoming vibe. The staff seemed genuinely relaxed and happy, and there was a lot of friendly interaction and joking between employees and customers, which I really loved. We had such a great experience that it looks like I'll be signing my son up for more classes :))

I really like The Flats in Clifton Park. I've been here several times for dinner and lunch, along with their Christmas breakfast and Mother's Day buffet brunches. Their buffets are excellent. They're around $50 per adult and about $20 for kids, and in my opinion they're worth it if you enjoy a good brunch buffet. Today they had carving stations with roast beef and turkey sliced fresh in front of you, build your own omelets, chocolate chip waffles, chicken nuggets, potato pancakes, sausage, bacon, mac and cheese, herb chicken and rice, seafood, and a huge dessert selection. There were so many desserts I couldn't possibly name them all, but some included chocolate chip cookies, Rice Krispie treats, lemon meringue pie, chocolate mousse pie, Oreo mousse pie, mini cheesecake cupcakes, and plenty of other goodies. I will say the chocolate mousse pie tasted good but was a little gritty in texture. I love me some chocolate mousse pie ordinarily but today I actually preferred the Oreo mousse pie. That being said everything is all you can eat, and it's all very good. It was extremely busy today, which was expected, but service was still excellent. That's been consistent every time I've visited here. The restaurant itself has a nice industrial-style feel and a covered patio area that I really like. It's a newer place that's only been open a few years, at least from what I'm aware of. Most places around here seem to do brunches but not true buffet brunches anymore, and I personally enjoy a good buffet brunch, so this place really stands out to me. If you get the chance to attend one of their buffets, I'd definitely recommend it. I know I will return in the future. 5 stars

The atmosphere is inviting, open and plain beautiful. Our waiter Doug was awesome - he was extremely knowledgeable of their menu items and their cocktails. I had a Blood Orange Old Fashioned which was off the charts (and I am an Old fashioned Drinker). And they have a great wine selection. The food and the service was excellent. Their pricing is very fair. As my wife and I were sitting there between apps and dinner I witnessed a young employee clean a table and chairs nearby where a couple had just left, and I have to tell you, I have been in restaurants all over the U.S. and Europe for many many years and I have never witnessed the thorough job this kid did - you would swear it was Covid all over again! I was blown away at the detailed cleaning. At that point in my book they hit a home run in every category and I had to let the Manager know how impressed we were. The Manager Christine came over to the table and I gave her and her staff an A+ in every category. I'll close by sharing this - People always make the time to complain about something but rarely make the time to let people know they have gone above and beyond and did a great job. My hat is off to The Grille and the people who make the place a hit - their employees! Job well done guys - don't change a thing and we will be back very very soon. Thanks for a great evening out.

I said on our next visit we wanted to try the burgers and tacos. Yes, we tried the burgers this time, so we were at least halfway successful. We both ordered the Steakhouse Burgers ($21) served with wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, cheddar, and a cabernet sauce. These burgers were delicious! The meat was a perfect medium rare as each of us requested, the rolls were soft and fresh, the cabernet sauce had an exceptionally good flavor, and combined with the sautéed onions and melted cheese provided just the right amount of moisture and gooeyness. I chose to have my burger served with the standard French fries which they call Dipple Fries if ordered separately as a side. (Google "dipple fries cutter" to see how they are shaped.) My wife substituted a Caesar salad for the fries for an up charge of $5. The salad was quite good and large enough for her to share some of it with me. We also had a bottle of Saratoga sparkling ($9) and a pint of Wolf Hollow Amber ($8.50). Our server, Jordin, was truly pleasant on our last visit and again on this one. Maybe next time we'll remember to try the Tacos. There WILL be a next time.

We were a group of nine that included a few children. We went all out. The clear soup was good and flavorful. The salad was fresh and we loved the dressing. It wasn't the typical orange ginger but a light dressing. Delicious! I got the shrimp and scallop combo hibachi and I love that it comes with both rice and noodles. Lots of fresh vegetables. The scallops and shrimp were meaty and perfectly grilled. Others got steak cooked to their liking and some got salmon. Apps were edamame and a dragon roll and spicy tuna. I didn't try the apps but it was a fancy presentation. Everything was just so good. The service was impeccable. The chef was super engaging with everyone, including the littles. Hibachi is always fun and they are pros on fun. They handled our group with humor and the theatrics you've become accustomed to at hibachi dinner were on point.

Their hibachi is always delicious, fun, & entertaining. Their chefs have more than a decade of experience and their teppanyaki skills really show it. Whether you're eating solo or with a friend, or a whole group, remember that you can still take a seat in front of the hot and flaming grill. However, you can still get the hibachi meals at a regular table but won't be able to watch the show (I highly recommend watching the show and enjoying the meal at the grill). They have great lunch specials and even kid's meals for those looking to keep the kids entertained. My go-to is their HIBACHI COMBO with STEAK + SCALLOPS. The chef will most definitely cook the protein to your liking. Not all hibachi spots include both fried rice and noodles in the meal, but Sake Bon does! The carbs are so packed with garlicky soy flavor, unlike many other places I've tried (bold, umami, and addicting...no kidding). The meal is complete with a side salad topped with the creamiest ginger dressing and a clear soup loaded with the perfect amount of sliced mushrooms and an onion flavored broth. Pair it with a nice cocktail, wine, or sake... you're all set! Their apps are also very generously portioned, so it's a good idea to share. It's always a great time with friends and family at Sake Bon. Enjoy their hibachi, sushi and sashimi , rice and noodles, plus so much more. Their fish is fresh and tasty if you like sushi and sashimi. Overall a wonderful Japanese restaurant that serves delicious food and drink that will leave you happy and satisfied. So grab a seat at their bar and enjoy some drinks and apps before heading over to one of their hibachi grills or dine at a table for an intimate and exquisite dinner.
