Fun glasses with very assuming leaves
Lori H.

We moved into the area a few months ago and have been meaning to get here and now wish we had come sooner . We sat at the kitchen bar and had fun getting to know the owners of this gem . The only dish that is not photographed is the one we were most excited about and ate so fast was the pasta bolognese. We asked if we can get a container of sauce to go it was so good but they don't want to go that way which I can respect and just keeps us going back for more ! Can't wait !

Kitchen bar, a really cool place to watch the chef work. She's really friendly too!

This great restaurant has a really cool vibe, a great staff, and the chef and kitchen staff are really passionate about their food. I love the kitchen bar where you can sit and watch the chef and kitchen. Staff create the magic that they serve! The dishes are wonderfully presented and delicious! The portion sizes are great. We opted for the Ramen and the Pad Thai, both absolutely delicious and so good that I finished my Ramen, which was a lot and ended up eating a third of my wife's Pad Thai. So so good! The chef's was fantastic, she came over twice to make sure we were happy and satisfied. We are from out of state, but will definitely return when we travel to the area again. If I was local, I would be there as much as possible. This is a great place to eat and meet some great people. I highly recommend Bastard Restobar.

Lo Mein and Fried Rice
Tom C.

On Friday we were out and about and needed to forage, so we at random ended up at The Bastard Restobar ( https://www.bastardrestobar.com/ ) because they list Lumpia on their menu. It is a small place, not far off of Bay St near the circle in Glens Falls. It has an open kitchen so you can watch them cooking. Everything was really delicious! It was also hot, and fresh. And, the portions were huge. My wife had a fried rice and I had a Lo Mien. Since then, we have been using our left overs as sides to a protein. Tonight we finished it up, making a total of FIVE plates that looked just like this in addition to our 2 original meals. Talk about huge portions! Also, the Chef made rounds and checked in with each table of guests. I love that. It was very, very good and I recommend you give it a try.

Fettuccine bolognese. Greasy

I was in the Navy. Pacific Fleet. Lumpia was everywhere. Restaurants and street vendors. A dozen for $3. I've been searching for authentic Lumpia ever since. This wasn't it. Tasteless except for the salt. Menus states serving size as 5. I received 2 cut into 5 pieces. Also ordered Fettuccine bolognese for $32. For that price I expected enough for 4 people. I didn't & thank goodness. It was greasy. I've never experienced greasy pasta before but I'm telling you it was greasy and tasteless. Next time I'll go to Massie's. You know you're getting a good meal there.

Us, in food coma

What a scrumptious GEM!!! Don't miss the seafood pancakes: best EVER! We also had a special Kimchi stew that was sooooo yum Then there was an incredible chilled semolina pudding with cardamom and a hand-whipped honey cream that was so special. When you find yourself near glens falls, this is a must-try byo dining experience chefs kiss

Baklava Cheesecake with two cherries.

Ordered the Baklave cheesecake through DoorDash because the curiosity was killing me. I thought I'd love it way more than I did. I think it would be better with pistachios rather than walnuts and for the price you'd think you'd get more than two cherries. I like that they have unique items on their menu.

Bastard Chicken with date, mushrooms on parsnip puree. delicious!

The place is small and has some nods to history via the wall mural. We were prepared to have a long wait (about an hour from seating to eating) as they make all dishes from scratch. Most groups were ordering pizzas and we opted for a meatball parm sub and their haddock puttanesca special. There were two servers on for the evening covering and they seemed overwhelmed by the rush which was not our experience before. While the food wait was expected it did take a considerable amount of time to get out drink order taken and then to have it arrive. In between ordering and getting our drinks I noted out server taking care of 2 other tables bringing out food and drinks. It took about half an hour for the bread to arrive at the table. The puttanesca was good and well seasoned but the meatball parm sub and fries were surprisingly under seasoned. We may be back again but will probably not go in when they are nearly full again.

The bar is large and looks very comfortable. Lots of TVs for watching various sports. The overall vibe is very casual and not pretentious at all. Service is friendly, and the food was timed just right. Our friend ordered a Makers on the rocks and I was impressed with the pour. We shared calamari and mozzarella sticks to start; not a trace of greasiness-both served hot and with a delicious side of marinara. The peppers in the calamari could be an appetizer of their own...I could have made a meal of those. I had the buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing on the side. Fab. Grilled chicken pieces were just the right size and coated with a medium spicy sauce over greens, croutons, onions and olives. Others at the table had the ribs and Tuscan chicken. Rave reviews for the Tuscan chicken served with pasta in a creamy garlic sauce. Ribs-huge portion (got the full rack) and the fries were awesome. These are fork and knife ribs; no need to pick them up since they fall off the bone. I would have liked a little more sauce...so next time I'll ask for a side of it. We arrived early and it got busier without being too crazy. I hope they do well-go check them out!

We stopped in (had eaten there before) and prepared ourselves for a sure to be delicious meal. They have a fun frequently changing menu of small, medium and large plates so you can choose your own foodie adventure. If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano. Dessert was a passion fruit chocolate tart which we took to go. If you're looking for well crafted food with a creative twist, this place is a great choice. North country friendly and approachable with a sophisticated set of offerings. Some really unique cocktails too. Not a boring thing on the menu.

Service was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Taylor was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh daily, and if you sit at the Chef's Counter, you'll see it first hand. You'll also get great descriptions of everything from the awesome Chefs and maybe get to try something extra too. I recommend using the reservation system on their website and specify your seating preferences. You can choose from the Chef's Counter, the bar, a high-top table, a low table, or an outdoor table (weather permitting). We also appreciated them asking about food allergies on the reservation system too and they verified it when we arrived. We were so impressed with the unique menu options that are offered in the appetizers, small shareable plates, main courses, desserts, and drinks. We are already planning on coming back Sunday for brunch and know we'll be back again soon for dinner.

Massie's Restaurant has its roots in Old School Italian Cuisine. It opened it's doors in 1929 and…read morethe interior reflected that up until recently when it was beautifully remodeled increasing the the bar size seating area as well as the dining room. The menu remains Old School but somewhat limited to the tried and true oldies along with some little surprises springled in here and there. The the white bean sausage soup was bursting with Old World home cooked flavor and nonna nostalgia, what a treat. The Lasagna, seasoned with meatballs and and sausage, is a classic; thoroughly delicious and enjoyable. Now for the Eggplant Parm! Many Italian restaurants of late in order to cope with rising food costs have reduced portion sizes and no where is that more evident than in the Eggplant, Chicken and Veal Parms. Eggplant slice thicknesses have seen a steady decline in some of our favorite Italian restaurants in our hometown area. The breading has literally taken over as the Eggplant flavor has virtually been lost as it was sliced so thin. Not the case at Massie's portion size is more than adequate with a substantial slice of eggplant restoring the eggplant as the real star of the dish. Both of us agreed that this was one of the best Eggplant Parmigian we've had in a very long time. If there is one critique it would be the dessert at $14, we would have expected a piece slightly larger given the fact that everything on the menu is ala carte. Massie's still delivers the goods and well remain our stop when traveling in the area.

Also they have parking in back (easier) or across the street. Sat at bar w/ Bartender Brian & many locals & regulars. All super friendly. Nice large bar area & lots of dining space. Heard lots of stories on the original family who started this business & the new owner. There's a picture of them by the bar. 5/5 House Salad Bleu Cheese Dressing, if I knew it would be so crisp & the homemade dressing so delish I would have ordered it as an entree! Next time. 4/5 Steak Pizzaiola, NY Strip medium covered in onion, marinara, cheese & side of spaghetti! I didn't care for the onions & steak was good, but a little chewy. Sauce is absolutely amazing! Wish they sold it! 5/5 Pasta Fazool, soup special & fan amongst the regulars. 5/5 Turkey Club, huge! Many recommended the Manicotti, Baked Ziti & Lasagna. All sharable! 2/5 Tiramisu not at all traditional! Basically just a piece of cake. Definitely recommend this Italian joint. We will be back!
