Come for the food, stay for the folks…read more Recently moved to Upstate NY and decided I should go on a chicken wing tour of the area. I mean, these people know wings. Running errands in this area and dropped in to try Memphis King's (1st time visit) I always get the same wings (hot buffalo) at each restaurant/bar to keep things fair. Memphis King's wings are smoked, then fried. I've found that you lose a lot of smoke flavor when they're fried to order but these had just the right amount still present. Very tasty. And crispy! (a lot of smoked wings are grilled but, while delicious, it doesn't render enough of the skin to make them crispy and I like crisp!) I've sampled wings from about 30 places (so far) and I would whole heartedly put Memphis King's in my top 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying their other items because their burnt ends look great. As does the house made pastrami *droooool* As for the people, the gal in front of house was wonderful. And the chef (not sure if he was the owner or not) was so nice. Kept checking in on me to see how everything was and kept offering me suggestions and samples. Not pushy, just smart business because I'm 100% gonna go back.

We've had the food in the past and thought it was award winning but we will not be returning and will be sharing this with friends & family so they don't have the same catastrophic situation arise with this business. We should've ordered through Meat & Company in Niskayuna.

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!

We went on a fried chicken run recently…read more We chose 3 places to order fried chicken from to test who had the best of the 3. We only ordered chicken thighs for the test as that is our favorite piece. We went to Capital Chicken at 112 Central Ave in Albany, NY, Halal Express Chicken and Gyros at 615 Clinton Avenue in Albany, NY and Chicken Joe's at 506 Campbell Ave in Troy, NY. I wrote 3 different reviews, one for each restaurant. This review is for Capital Fried Chicken. I won't include the actual review for the other 2 restaurants in this review, but I'll include their scores and placement in the contest. If you want to read the other 2 reviews please visit those restaurant's yelp page and read my review there. This first place we went to was Capital Fried Chicken. This place has tables and chairs to sit at while eating but we chose to eat in the car. The chicken was very juicy, savory and well seasoned. It had a nice crunchy crust which was really flavorful. The meat of the chicken itself was also very flavorful and well seasoned. The chicken was a bit greasy and fatty but still soooo tasty. It was also nice and hot which certainly added to the enjoyment of the chicken. We had intended to just take a few bites and save our appetites for the next 2 places, but it was just too delicious and we couldn't stop. We knew this chicken would be hard to compete with. This got an 9 out of 10. It turned out that the order that we visited the 3 restaurants was the order of our preference as well. First place goes to Capital Fried Chicken with a score of 9 out of 10. Second place went to was Halal Express Chicken and Gyros who got a 7 out of 10. Third place went to Chicken Joe's who got a 4 out of 10. We will be doing another chicken run in the future and are trying to figure out the next 3 places that we'll visit.
