Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Great restaurant! They have it all: great food, good tables, good atmosphere, good decor, nice views, great service! We had a brisket and bacon sandwich, BBQ chicken, fries, fries with gravy (excellent gravy), mac & cheese, and corn bread. Good portion sizes, too. Loved it. We walked from the Best Western hotel across the street. (photo note: the chicken breast is on a side plate bc it came out of the smoker after the other pieces on the plate. The meal came with 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 1 breast, plus 2 sides.)

We come to Troy, New York, every September for the Reverse RETT Upstate New York, event. And every time we have been told to try Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. This time we decided to try it and we are so glad we did. The food is delicious, but the service was outstanding. Our server, Taylor, was one of the best waitresses we have ever had. She did an amazing job. We look forward to coming back next year!

Here’s a roundup of reviews, strengths, and caveats for Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Troy, NY: 📊 Ratings & Overview • On many occasions, my friends generally speak highly of it, calling it “one of the best BBQ places in the Capital Region.”  • On my reviews, my dining experience is totally: “food is delicious, service is fast … chicken wings are terrific.”  • Noted many beer offerings Our official visit also highlights some positives: • They offer gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options.  • Outdoor seating by the river or on the back porch is available.  • You can reserve ahead (via Resy) to skip wait times.  ✅ What Customers Like 1.

Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Troy n.y. If your palette craves bar-b-que try this place they serve delicious chicken, brisket, sausage , pulled pork and many varieties of side like potato salad, mac cheese, beans. You won't be disappointed.

this place has great atmosphere and view along with some outstanding food. The ribs are amazing along with the pulled pork and sides. i will say the cornbread was a little dry for my taste but great place

My husband first visited Dinosaur BBQ in February 2024 and I haven't stopped hearing about it since. So we decided since we were in the area that we would stop for lunch and he was right -- the food was delicious!! I had Brisket & pulled pork with collards, sweet potatoes, and mac n cheese. Everything was great. Mac n cheese was not what I expected but it wasn't bad. My husband had the same thing but he also had pork belly (which I tried and SO YUMMY), and instead of sweet potatoes he had BBQ beans which was also delicious. Our daughter was basic and had chicken fingers with French fries and mac n cheese. She is 11 and was happy but didn't like the mac n cheese so that went to Daddy. Our waitress was kind and always on it with drinks (probably the best Arnold Palmer I've ever had) and the atmosphere was comfortable. We sat out on the terrace by the river -- ohh and the bill was so affordable. I was shocked it was less than $100 for 3 of us to eat!! Overall we would recommend!!

i LOVE dinosaur bbq!! the best spot for dinner and for having your rehearsal dinner! that’s what i did and renting the party room was perfect for it 😌 the food, the service, and the view of the river from the porch was amazing 🤩 my guests and i had the best time!! i would highly recommend having any party you are looking to host in the rentable room 🥳

We decided to go here for dinner on a Saturday evening and it was a 45min wait for our party of 2. We were seated at a nice booth by the back windows overlooking the Hudson River. This is a large bustling restaurant. They were quite busy but our waitress took great care of us. Food took awhile to come out. We ordered the Combo meal with 3 choices ( 2 ribs pork bbq, jalapeno beef brisket, and cold ¼ shrimp boil). We picked mashed potatoes and Cole slaw for the sides. The ribs were really good but the beed brisket we got was half full of fat. The shrimp was good. It was enough food for 2 people. We also ordered the large fried green tomatoes appetizer. I think we could have gotten away with the half order.

Was happy to review a child hood favorite of mine, Dinosaur bbq. I grew up going to the original location in Syracuse- the Troy location was great. We had an awesome booth that over looked the water, and our server was on point. We got the family platter- and had a ton of leftovers. Ribs were amazing, brisket had a nice subtle heat, and the wings big and juicy. The wings were substituted for us, as they were out of whole chickens- The wings were huge, so I thought it was a pretty good substitute so I did not remove a star. Very good bbq.

No .. No .. No ... fried , greasy and a stomach ache waiting to happen . Would expect something a little less messy .

I visited Dinosaur BBQ about a year ago, a time when beef was still new to me and I was just getting accustomed to other meatier meats. Don't think I could really enjoy it the first time. Since then I've fallen in love with the diverse flavors and various meats, and I've definitely acquired a taste for it (thank you Jesse hehe) I literally live across from Dinosaur BBQ now and we decided to go on some random Wednesday (which btw, it was PACKED) But I fell in love with everything I ate. I had the combo meal: brisket, pork belly, and pulled pork. It comes with two sides and I chose mashed potatoes with gravy and mac n cheese. I also discovered a new love for baked beans!!! And of course, that cornbread. ugh. delish The food was a 10/10, so freakin' delicious. Vibes are amaze with patio seating or indoor, and the staff are quick and kind. You bet I'll be visiting Dinosaur BBQ more frequently

Another amazing dinner at Dinosaur BBQ! I know what you're thinking, if you go to a BBQ joint, you gotta eat BBQ. And guess what, I did! I had pulled pork nachos that were so good I think I heard angels singing, and then a crispy chicken salad that was off the chain. But let's get real, their corn bread is the real MVP. It's like a party in your mouth and everyone's invited. The aroma of smoked BBQ fills the air and you can't help but get a little too excited for your food to come out. The service was on point, and the food came out faster than you can say pulled pork nachos. The place was packed, but I was smart and made reservations a few days before. I'm glad I did, because it was packed during dinner time. Who's down to join me for some pulled pork nachos? I'm ready to go back!

It was just ok for $40.00, I think since it was a takeout order. I don't get the best pieces of ribs or brisket. That and everything's tasted like the jalapeños that they put on top of the meat. Kind of killed the overall taste. Mac and cheese was a bit crunchy and under cooked. Had ok flavor, same as the beans. Overall, just an ok overpriced takeout order.

So delicious!! I've been meaning to visit Dinosaur BBQ for a while now and it didn't disappoint! First the location has a pretty view since it's by the water and the restaurant has such a fun casual vibe to it. The hostess and our waitress were both really kind and attentive as well. The creole spiced deviled eggs were recommended to me by a friend and I definitely agree they are not to be missed if you come! I also split the sweetheart deal that comes with a rack of ribs and 4 sides and it was the perfect amount of food. The ribs were well done, tender, and slid right off the bone and the sides were delicious, we especially liked the Mac and cheese, whipped sweet potatoes, and cucumber salad. I'll definitely be bringing friends and family back and recommend trying this place out if you are craving bbq!

Hostesses were confused with regards to folks with reservations as we did. They were seating walk-ins ahead of reservations. We happened to be 30 mins early and asked to be seated early if possible. We were floored to see them seating walk-ins. As for the food, we both had the combo ribs and 1/2 chicken plus we paid extra for 2 extra ribs each. Our ribs were dry as was the chicken firm and dry. For being a BBQ restaurant they certainly did a poor job. Server was nice though.

Was pleasantly surprised by how good dinner at Dino BBQ was. It was my boyfriend and I's first time so we tried to order as many different menu items as possible. For starts we had the deviled eggs and poutine, which were both great. The poutine fries were crispy and the texture and taste wasn't outshined by the toppings. Our entrees were even more impressive. I got the tres ninos (because I need to maximize the items I try ofc), which came with pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. The meats were all good but the ribs were amazing. The ribs were so good that my boyfriend suggested that we return just to order a bunch of ribs. All of the sides were delicious as well. The macaroni and cheese was probably my favorite. It was creamy and had a unique flavor profile for mac and cheese (had a similar taste to jalapeño in my opinion). The cornbread was heavenly. It wasn't too sweet and practically melts in your mouth. Overall, everything we had was delicious and I'm glad that I finally tried this restaurant. The servers were kind and attentative. The overall vibe of the restaurant is rodeo themed which is a fun casual, setting. Location wise, it's right by the Hudson and Downtown Troy so there's plenty to do around. There's a large parking lot as well so no issues with parking.

I came here with some coworkers while in the area for a work conference. It is in a great location right on the river, and nearby to most of the downtown area. We went for dinner on a week night so it wasn't too busy. There is plenty of parking in the lot. The service was great throughout, and the vibes were great for a BBQ place. All of the food we tried was great, and well worth the price. I ordered to platter that had brisket and pulled pork. Both tasted great, and everyone else at the table loved their food as well. If I am ever in the area again, I would definitely come back.

We were here last weekend on a brilliantly sunny and beautiful recent autumn day in New York's Hudson Valley. We had traveled the 3 hours from home to pick up a Gustav Stickley console. We love Mission/Craftsman style furniture and found a piece that we had been looking for. It is certainly available new but this piece, in absolutely pristine condition, was being sold by a couple downsizing from their rather large home to a smaller one now that they are retired. After picking up the console, loading it in the pickup truck (that's another story! Lol!) we were ready for a late lunch. We are both fans of good barbecue and had been to another of the Dinosaur locations in Syracuse NY a couple of years ago. We have also been to the Dinosaur location in Newark NJ which has since closed. This location in Troy is in a lovely industrial style building right on the Hudson River. There is plenty of seating inside including at a bar. There is also patio seating and on another side of the building on what they call "porch seating". We wanted to sit outside since it was a sunny almost 80 degree day. Both the patio and porch are covered so happily we could be outside but protected from the sun. The porch where we sat is a smaller space and unlike the interior, it is quiet and relaxing out there. We were greeted warmly by our server whose name I believe was Mike. He was terrific and coincidentally had once lived in the Boston area and was quite familiar with our town. As expected, Tom ordered his barbecue favorite, brisket. I ordered the chopped salad which comes with a choice of protein and I too chose brisket. My salad with the brisket was excellent. It was exactly what I was looking for which was to have some brisket but also a lovely salad. I chose blue cheese dressing on the side which accompanied the salad and the beef nicely. Tom's brisket came with two sides and he chose potato salad and a cucumber salad. We enjoyed our meals immensely. The brisket was tender and flavorful. I had a glass of pinot grigio and Tom had a hard cider. Our server was attentive and very friendly. There was no rush to leave so we enjoyed our meals in leisurely fashion while observing the boats going by on the Hudson River. It was really a delightful experience. The only confusing part is having been told when we entered that the wait was about 30 minutes only to find that in every area of the restaurant there were plenty of open tables...far more than it seemed there were people waiting. They may have a staff shortage but either way our wait was less than 15 minutes. I do recommend a stop in to this Dinosaurs if you're in the area and are a fan of barbecue.

Second time coming here and it was great! It does get very busy so I would make sure to make a reservation. The sweetheart deal is what me and my friend shared and it is definitely worth it. The deviled eggs are also great! The service was also great, they checked in on us many times and refilled our drinks.

It's been awhile since we have been here and boy are we glad we came! We ordered a rack of ribs as an appetizer and the Family Meal deal- we really wanted a lb of pulled port - What we didn't realize what we ordered came with Pulled pork AND 1/2 a rack of ribs And Chicken plus the 3 sides and cornbread!!! oh my goodness - A lot of extremely tasty food!!! Yum mashed potatoes with gravy- Sweet potato casserole (who needs dessert when you have this!!) mac and cheese ( teen wasn't crazy about the seasoned top but the Adults loved it - All the meats we're seasoned perfectly!! Best part is we have enough left over for lunch tomorrow!! You will not leave hungry! And as an added bonus- They have a to go window!! Service was great - Our waiter was great - great back and forth with him!

Recently hit Dinosaur BBQ in Troy to meet up with previous co-workers. It's been quite some time since I last visited Dinosaur and was unsure what to get for lunch. Happily, the server said the chef was recommending the fish and chips. I'm not a tartar sauce girl so I inquired if cocktail sauce was available. Yes! It is with a bit of habenero heat in it. Enjoyed the fantastic fish and chips. Enjoyed the company, the view. Parking is plentiful. Server was more than pleasant. It was a nice afternoon out connecting with old friends.

This place is huge. Tons of seating and parking. Beautiful outside seating along the river with views of the Green Island bridge. There was also additional seating outside under a tent with lights. The parking lot smelled like delicious smoked BBQ meats- always a good sign. We loved EVERYTHING we ate. The brisket was our favorite of the meats moist and flavorful- I tried all 3 BBQ sauces and preferred the original as the others were too spicy for my taste. The macaroni and cheese was yummy and while the fried bbq rice was exactly what it sounds like it'd be I was surprised by the flavor of fried rice and BBQ and how well it went together. We also enjoyed their fries and potatoe salad. My friend also enjoyed her chicken cheesesteak sandwich. The waitress was fast, friendly, and helped us decide what we wanted so we could try all the things I'd love to come back if ever in Troy, NY again.

Here's the scene ... I had to make a delivery for the wife and when I'm in Troy I eat BBQ at dinosaur. Full disclosure I haven't heard the best things lately. And the yelp reviews were a bit low. I'm here to tell ya don't believe it. The place has the juice still There was a bit of a wait so we hit the bar. The bartender was rough loud and served it up right. She picked the IPA and it didn't disappoint. She served my son sprite too with a side of sarcasm that had us both laughing! So the food. We started with smoked wings and poutine. Both were on point. The wings were perfectly cooked and the blue cheese is housemade I'd bet my lawnmower on it. And the poutine was steaming hot crispy cheesy smooth gravy dripping and I couldn't have asked for better. He had a chicken sandwich h and I had the bbq sampler with Mac and collards. Brisket was bomb. Ribs were tender moist and smoky pulled pork was in ok on point. Mac and cheese was like grandma made (but better) and the show stopper was the show stopper! I didn't catch our waitresses name but she was the best. On us but not pushy. Go here. Keep good bbq in the capital region.

This spot literally understood the assignment. The margaritas quenched my thirst. The wings extra crispy literally perfect. The ribs were so juicy and tender they didn't even need sauce but I did drench them because why not? The brisket was full of smoky goodness. I'm glad I was referred here! If you haven't been, you're missing out. The atmosphere and the server was great and gave us some good feedback on what dive bars to try out. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

I have been visiting dinosaur bbq on a regular basis, and almost every time they have been pretty consistent with their woods. Wings , deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, nachos are a must try. Yet to have a bad encounter with these orders. For entree ribs has been good most times but sometimes it tends to be on the dryer side. Chicken and pork sandwiches are also pretty good. They also have live music at times, most of the time it's busy, and they have quite a few screens with ongoing sporting events.

There is something about BBQ that makes you hungry! And when there's a hurricane ouside you might want to stuff your face -- this is the place. The 2 meat/2 side option hit the spot, and there's enough leftover for lunch! Fast service and they provide the take out containers with a nice plastic tote against the storm.

Have been coming here for over a decade now and I never get sick of it. Definitely one of the best BBQ places in the capital region and is a must try if you are in town. The portions are very filling and high quality. My personal favorite is the brisket. I typically get it in a pick two platter, but tried it in a sandwich today and was very satisfied. All the sides are very good as well, my favorites are mashed potatoes and the bbq fried rice.

This place has always been unable to bring hot food to you. Not sure what their problem is but when your food reaches you, it will likely be room temperature. Collard greens have an awful flavor. Ruined my whole luke warm plate. I do not recommend this place at all.

Great family dining event!!! Yummy food - great service. They have amazing ribs, potato salad, etc.

The food was insanely good here! The fried green tomatoes are a must try. I actually didn't care to order it but was pleasantly surprised at how delicious, crispy, and flavorful it was. Then, we created our own plate with ribs, brisket, chicken, mac and cheese, and cucumber salad. Everything melted in our mouth. It was more than enough food for two of us to share with leftovers. The service was kind and we were able to sit outside on the patio. Dinosaur BBQ is definitely a solid choice when in the area.

Whenever I'm back in the Albany, NY area and I want good BBQ I know to stop here. Great ambiance near the water. Walkable to nice bars in Troy. Servers are quick. Food is always high quality. Great ribs. Great size I personally love the Mac and cheese as well as the bbq fried rice

So excited to have my first in person Dinosaur BBQ experience! My fiance is from Upstate NY and we've had bottled sauce from Dinosaur but I've never had the real deal. Our experience at the Troy location didn't disappoint! I had the Power couple, which was two sliders - 1 brisket and 1 pulled pork, with two sides. I opted for fries and the BBQ fried rice. Some of the best fries I've ever had and the bbq fried rice was good. My fiancé had the brisket Bahn mi and he raved about it. I had a bite and it was delicious. He also had the Mac and cheese which was tasty. Great spot, cozy and not too corporate. Probably would be a great place to watch a game and hang in the summer with it being right on the river. Great, quick and friendly service. Our server checked in just enough. I think the value for the portions and quality was pretty amazing! I look forward to another visit when we're back in NY.

Can never go wrong when you're at dinosaur barbecue the food is always good along with the service and the beers.

My husband and I had dinner at the bar. The ribs were fantastic, and the fresh cut fries were really fantastic. Highly recommend!

Pretty decent vegetarian options! The vegetarian bbq is a little sweet for my preference but honestly the fact that they offer it is so nice. Also they have non alcoholic drinks which is also nice! It's just an NA beer but better than nothing!

Great spot to get BBQ in the capital region! The restaurant is located in a great location with nice views of the Hudson river from both the inside windows as well as the patio. I enjoyed my food, especially the Mac and cheese! The chicken and ribs were also good, but the ribs were a bit fattier than I'd like. The restaurant is cute inside, but can be a bit loud! Our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive, and our food was brought to the table very quickly after ordering.

Omg outstanding fall off the bone Bar-B-Cue!! I road my Harley with a couple of friends from the south shore of Massachusetts, NY really has some great food and I can't wait to go back and sit on the Hudson enjoying some Dinosaur Barbecue!

Went here after a business meeting with a bunch of colleagues. I've lived in SC for about 20 years where they are very particular about their BBQ, and Dinosaur's food measured up well! I have the 3 meat combo with pork, 1/4 chicken, brisket, greens, and cucumber salad. I didn't like the cucumber salad too much, the dressing tasted like jar dressing and I didn't think there would be any on it (my fault for not asking first), everything else was outstanding. We also had the sliders as appetizers and I liked them a lot too. The start removed was for the service. The host was clueless (my colleague asked if the BBQ was tomato based and he had no idea what we were talking about, neither did the waitress), he got irritated when we picked a table to sit at rather than just sitting at the bar (we were there at lunch time and they didn't have enough servers for the tables yet), and it took a VERY long time to get our food and no one was eating anything that needed to be made fresh. Prices were a little high in my experience too, but I am not familiar with Albany pricing. Place is homey on the inside though a bit dimly lit and music is a little loud if you want to talk. J.Ja

That food was amazing and staff was great . The restaurant was packed , but was able to get a couple of seats at the Bar !! Jesse was great !!

I was staying at the Marriot and this was recommended by the hotel. It is walking distance on the waterfront. I hosted a conference and had 14 people in attendance and they accommodated us. The service was exceptional one server and food was spectacular. I would highly recommend them. Salad with extra thick bacon and house made vinaigrette with cheese was delicious!

I came with a party of 5, we were told it was a 30 to 45 minute wait but we got sat after 5 minutes. the food was very good and our waitress was very nice. it was very busy so the food took longer but when it came it was delicious. the cornbread is soooo good here! the vibes are great and you can just come for the bar or you can sit down at a table. the only downside is that some of the benches at the tables don't have backs on them so it can get uncomfortable sitting there for a while. overall a great experience! will return!

Said it was dog friendly and then staid we couldn't bring our dog. Did allow us to eat outside on the patio. Ridiculous.

First off on a nice sunny day the view from inside faces the Hudson River and is quite nice! The inside is spacious, rustic and inviting. I was seated immediately and was there for a late lunch. Our server, Allison was very helpful as there were so many tasty sides to choose from on the menu. I was torn between the creamy coleslaw and their sweet and sour coleslaw. I went with the creamy as that is what i gravitate towards. Allison brought me a sample of the sweet and sour slaw to try and asked if I wanted to keep what I ordered or switch. I thought that was really nice of her. She went out of her way to ensure that I would enjoy my sides. So sweet! I loved the corn bread, both the creamy and sweet and sour coleslaw as well as the fantastic fries, bbq pulled pork, brisket and St. Louis ribs. I especially enjoyed the tasty well seasoned and tender fall off the bone ribs. It isn't something I would barbecue smoke in my own home, so definitely a treat when done right. The mac and cheese had a hint of cajun spice and was cheesy and creamy. I also like the greens and baked beans, yum! Also as you might have guessed from some of my other reviews, I am a condiment lover. I really really liked their house made original barbecue sauce, as well as their garlic chipotle pepper sauce. It had a little kick but wasn't too spicy and in my opinion just right. I will definitely be back whenever I have a hankering for some really good barbecue!!!

Brisket Plate. Side of chile. Side of greens. I also had the Bloody Mary which was amazing!!

My roommate stop by there last week and offered to grab me some food. I wanted to try sampler of a sliders: Burger, a brisket, and a pulled pork along with a side of macaroni and cheese. it was packaged well. I took a bite of the macaroni and cheese and I breathed in chili powder and thought I was going to die. I just don't think chili powder is something you should top macaroni and cheese with without having it written out very well on your menu. I didn't see it when I went to the online menu. It was an overwhelming flavor and I can't eat chili's because I my stomach is cursed so I was very unhappy inhaling breathing in eating that first bite of chili powder. My other issue is at overwhelm the macaroni and cheese I don't even know what it tasted like. My roommate finish the macaroni and cheese and it he didn't seem to mind the chili powder. I really do miss being able to eat anything with Chili's in it. I didn't really care for the brisket slider or the pulled pork sandwich. It wasn't horrible I think I just didn't care for all the toppings they each had. I did have a hamburger slider and I thought that was really good. I wasn't so fond of the mustard sauce but it wasn't so spicy that it irritated my stomach. I think I would have preferred a different sauce or just plain ketchup. What I liked most about that burger is that they made it rare. When you get a hamburger it should be made rare if you want it rare. There are places that don't do that so when someone makes a rare Burger when I ask for a rare Burger I commend that. It really hit the spot. That burger was a five star but the rest for me one star which is why I'm giving it to stars. I haven't been to the Dinosaur Barbecue in a long time. I know it has a nice atmosphere. It's right on the river. I don't think I cared for the food the first time I went. If I ever go again because someone else wants to I will definitely be ordering the burger and I will definitely make sure that they don't put chili powder on anything I eat.

I had ribs and steak there with my friend. I had stomachache immediately. And have diarrhea throughout the night. So does my friend. Is there any customers who experience the same?

We picked up some Brisket Sandwiches to go from this place. The brisket was VERY good (but fatty), smokey, tender, and melt in your mouth. The sandwich buns were amazingly soft and fluffy and paired very well with the brisket with a slight and subtle sweetness. So delicious! We got sides of BBQ Beans and Coleslaw. The BBQ Beans were smokey and packed full of flavor. I definitely recommend them as a side option! The coleslaw was okay. The ladies at the to go counter were very friendly and helpful in recommending which sides to get as this was our first time here. We will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

We came here with a very large party, they treated us very well and the food was all excellent. Our party was about 16. The service was outstanding! We had the family style plates and sides. Very wide selection of meats and sides. The flavors were excellent. Parking is ample and easy to get in and out. We definitely will be back.

Great large restaurant with nice bar and lots of TV's to watch the games. High tops and regular tables in a warm cozy inside. Great welcoming service from all the staff. The BBQ ribs and brisket were super flavorful. Good chili, wings, and poutine! Nice selection of brews and cocktails. Definitely a lot of choices for everyone, so a return trip is a must.

I have been making shore trips are made here frequently. Barbecue Ribs is part of my Heritage. The Biscuits makes me remember them from home. Just like Grandma used to make. Big enough to fit a Large sized Family, to enjoy them selves!

Let me give you one word, EXTRAORDINARY!! I didn't expect Troy, NY to know about BBQ, but the surprise was mine to be had!! The pulled pork melts in your mouth, the St. Louise ribs falls off the bone, and the brisket was so tender a baby could gum it and enjoy lol definitely a must have pit stop when I'm in New York always!! Thank you Karlene for making my brother and I's experience truly blessed and fun!

Good BBQ, nice smoke flavor but they over seasoned most dishes. They use a lot of spices including on the Mac and cheese, don't recommend for people who don't like spicy food. Good portion sizes. Service was efficient, overall not a bad lunch.

My ribs were dry and the wings are burnt. The cashier who took my order was friendly, however I was so disappointed with the food. See the pic, no one should have to eat wings that look like this, and I drove 34 mins for this.

I've never had a bad meal at Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. I had some special dietary needs and they were fully addressed to my satisfaction. This is often a bustling place. Remarkably, when we showed up about 3pm on Thursday, it was still busy but not as crowded as on weekends. Was it late lunch or early dinner? I have no idea, but my husband and I were hungry. Our server, Sierra, is flawless at her job. She immediately introduced herself and asked us what beverages we wished to drink. I went with her recommendations. My drink wasn't too sweet. She filled the orders quickly and then came to ask what we'd like to eat. She said the smoked chicken salad could be served without the tangy, BBQ sauce, which I can't eat. Honey mustard salad dressing on the side. Perfect. The food arrived very quickly. Sierra returned to make sure we were happy with our meals. There was so much food that I had leftovers for a delicious lunch the next day. The restaurant overlooks the River. The views can't be beat. I see some customers gave the restaurant 3.5 stars on Yelp but think it deserves far better.

Went last night (Halloween) , cool bartender and she made me a great but simple drink with the knob creek.. added root beer, the burger was great. Jan was great. Everything was great... Sorry for posting this so late.

The service is great and so is the food. Located right on the Hudson for patio dining with river views . Otherwise, great space inside with a large bar area .
