We tried the original and honey garlic boneless chicken, beef bulgogi bowl and chicken kimchi fried rice. Everything was really good and hot. The place is small and casual.

Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

It being July 4th, Independence Day, I thought it would be an appropriate day to enjoy a hot dog. Just ask Joey Chestnut! I'm not going to reduce my # of *s because we really enjoyed our food and beverages. But I do have to question what I had to drink. The board said it was an Ommegang Grande Tripel stout at 5.5 ABV ($9). That level of ABV would be reasonable for a stout, but the color of the brew was golden like a typical Tripel, and not dark like the typical Stout. The bartender gave us a sample, and it was full of flavor with my wife noticing the vanilla tones that were described by the bartender. I didn't initially identify any specific flavor other than delicious and different than I would have expected from a stout. I also would not take issue with the posted 5.5 ABV. HOWEVER, a quick reference to Ommegang online as I write this says that it is a Belgium Tripel and the ABV is 9. Yes, NINE ABV! I would definitely have noticed if I were drinking a 9 ABV on an empty stomach. I also would have noticed it driving the car after finishing a pint within one hour. For those familiar with Utah Phillips, "It was good though!" But on to the food. We ordered a shareable Tot-Chos ($12.99) consisting of tater tots, tomatoes, avocado, cheese sauce, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle aioli. These were very tasty and not too spicy, with crispy on the outside and soft on the inside tots. My wife ordered the Sooo Cali ($10.99) hot dog. The black angus beef hot dog is very tasty even before it is topped with wild arugula, tomato, avocado, crispy onion strings, and spicy basil aioli. The combined flavors work well together on the Kings Hawaiian rolls. My choice was to try the Hogfather ($10.99) - a pork bratwurst with bacon chipotle onion jam, chipotle aioli, and miso ranch. The bratwurst was delicious and again, the flavors worked well together. BTW, my wife had a Grimm Nothing But Citra ($8), an IPA that even I found acceptable. We really need to return here more frequently.

    When you need catering not just bbq they check every box. Give them a try you won't be disappointedread more

    I hired Gary Batto owner of Capital City BBQ Company, Clifton Park, NY for my son's post wedding…read morecelebration held at the Saratoga Spa State Park this June 2026. I had 200 plus people at my event. It was a complete disappointment and disaster. First, let's talk about the service...horrible. He came for five minutes and then left. He let his so called event planner and her helper handle everything. Huge mistake on his part! Mr Batto is very assuring and helpful prior to signing the contract. After signing, not so much. Make sure you read the whole contract before and when you receive the final contract because there were things he did not tell me that you find out two days prior to your event. When you give him your estimated count in the beginning and then give him your final count ten days prior, he does "volume pricing". Which was never mentioned in the five months of planning with him. It doesn't matter what your total final count is, he bases what you owe him on the percentage you gave him in the beginning. Total scam. In addition to the $33 plus for each guest, I paid for extra options for my event...$500 for two servers and $75 per hour for a bartender, in addition to $300 for ice (which there was not enough of). The servers were suppose to just replenish the food and do table cleanup. Instead they served the portions to my guests, which I specifically said I did not want, and they didn't clean up one table! I wanted my guests to take as much as they wanted...I guess he was afraid they would run out of food! Plus, this caused a long line which took two hours for my guests to be served! As for the food...very bland and tasteless. I ordered bbq chicken cooked right on the grill and served fresh to my guests, did not happen. No bbq sauce was used on the chicken. Dried out. I also ordered sausage and peppers (hardly any peppers and it was soaked in grease), mini hamburgers (awful and soaked in fat in a serving pan), pulled pork (which was just ok). Four sides which were bland and tasteless. In addition to the main food, we had discussed and Mr. Batto had suggested and approved, chicken tenders and hot dogs for the 28 kids I paid for to be on a separate table. Did not happen! He had no response as to why this Did not happen. We added our own pasta salad to the buffet table, that's all the kids liked! In addition to all the problems with the food and service, they ran out of napkins!! BBQ food with no napkins. Unacceptable! Mr. Batto told me, don't worry about a thing, we got you covered! You will be able to enjoy your party!! Didn't happen. Next, the bartender I paid for...no bartender! Instead, the two servers were also the bartender. But, while they went to the buffet table to serve my guests (again which I specifically said I did not want to happen) there was no bartender for two hours!! The bride took over and she was amazing!! Which was the best two hours because my guests didn't have to worry about giving a tip every time they requested a drink! I told them how to specifically set up the bar, and they completely ignored me and set it up how they wanted it In order to get more tips! We supplied all the alcohol and I did not need the bartender to open up my guests can of beer every time they requested one! So embarrassing!! I also was told that they would remove all the garbage...did not happen. They took four bags, we took 15! I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. After my event was over, I waited three days for Mr. Batto to contact me to return the linens I rented from him and to discuss my event. He never called so I called him. He was a completely different person than he was in the beginning Of when I hired him and his company. He disagreed with every complaint and had no answer for the ones he did agree with. He offered to compensate me for my complaints but it's been over a week and I haven't heard back from him and I don't think I will. During our over an hour conversation about everything that went wrong...he said to me "what do you want" and I said nothing...you can't give me back the day that was suppose to be so special and memorable. But he replied...I'll take care of you. Mr. Batto...I'm still waiting! I hope this helps the next person who is thinking about hiring Capital City BBQ Company for their event...DON'T!

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.

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.

This was the second occasion of my being invited by someone who was celebrating their birthday there. I'm not a big fan of chicken wings so I also don't consider myself a connoisseur. On this visit there were nine of us celebrating the birthday boy's 65th. I figured I was entitled to seven wings from the six different flavors that were ordered. I was satisfied after tasting just one from each flavor. All the wings were very crispy and the flats were a bit moister than the drums. In fact, my least favorite was a parmesan garlic drumstick. It came with no sauce, so it seemed extra dry. Treating the wings as my appetizer, I ordered The Heater from their Specialty Sandwiches and substituted sweet potato fries for regular fries. Served in a toasted hoagie were shaved Italian steak, sauteed peppers, onions, jalapeños, queso cheese, and melted pepper jack. My first thought was that the hoagie was going to be too massive and too much bread. But to my surprise, the bread was so fresh and soft that it easily compressed around the filling allowing the filling to be the star of each bite. The steak was tender and flavorful, there was not too much spiciness from the various peppers, and there was plenty of moisture. The sandwich was served while still very hot as were the sweet potato fries. Wings and sandwich, all went well with my pint of Guinness. They do not take reservations and will not seat your party until all members of your party are present. They will add you to the waiting list before all of your party is present. Once we were added to the waitlist it was thirty minutes before the rest of our party arrived due to traffic delays. It was then another thirty minutes before we were seated. This was a Tuesday starting about 5:30 p.m. I'd suggest aiming for a weekday after lunch if you have more than four people in a birthday celebration. Staff are well experienced with these situations and are friendly and helpful.

I always ask questions about the menu to ensure a great order experience. The small dining area is cafeteria style, which if it were not dead would make me feel uncomfortable. The gyoza were particularly good! I would probably go back just for that. The passion fruit tea that I ordered was also very good. The ramen however was okay. It wasn't bad but not great either. I wouldn't come back to order it here. I would come back to try some of the other things on the menu though. Maybe they need to expand slightly beyond ramen? Or put more fresh ingredients in their ramen to make it more exciting snd appealing to eat on it's own. I don't love it when it's just noodles and corn like the cup of noodles that you buy at the store in those styrofoam cups. Kind of a let down.
