BJ's has a new $13 entrée + personal pizookie deal, and since I've never had a pizookie before, my partner was super excited for me to try one! When we got there, I was surprised to see a 30 minute wait on a Thursday night. The place is huge and spacious, and I love the artwork they have for their different beers. Tonight wasn't a beer night, but we'll definitely be back for their happy hour because the menu looks amazingggg. The $13 menu had a lot of great options, and it was hard to choose, but I ended up getting the chicken bacon ranch piadina with onion rings, while my partner went with the Great White mini deep dish. Both were delicious and packed with flavor! Surprisingly, we even had some leftovers for the next day. I was also really excited that we got to pick our pizookie flavors. We went with the strawberry shortcake and the triple chocolate. SO YUM. Even though the personal pizookies are tiny, they were the perfect size to satisfy a sweet tooth. So worth it for $13!!! I also love the BJ's rewards system. It's got me hooked, and I'm definitely going to be visiting more

Unlike other franchise restaurants where they just whip out one horrible tasteless dish after another, most of BJs meals are made from-scratch. Another high point for BJs is that their open-kitchen concept allows folks to see the cooking+prep process (depends where you sit). Not far from Albany, this Colonie, NY BJs served us plenty. Their menu hasn't disappointed us in any way as they cater to every palette out there. Hubs and I haven't had issues with this franchise. We feel they prioritize consistent quality the few times hubs and I have visited. The food, ingredients- hell, even their cocktails pack a damn great punch.

Late night comfort food. Quick and friendly service and an upscale feeling atmosphere. A good place to watch the game and get good bar food.

Lori B was amazing! This triple pizookie was amazing! The service was really fantastic! The food surprised me with deliciousness. I recommend the salted caramel! But we ate them all. The wings were so great!

Misleading drink.

Very fun there were trivia games. Server was nice, ambiance was very nice, average for a bar and grill. However I do not drink and I was mislead by the Sangria saying non alcoholic. It's actually 0.5 percent alcohol. Just because it's close to zero doesn't make it ZERO.

Overall decent experience. Food was good, pizza has a nice flatbread type crunch. The wedge was rather small and underwhelming. Service was weak, but not inattentive just not very personable. Ambiance was kinda boring, dead, dry. Parking was plentiful.

We went on a Tuesday and it didn't seem that busy but there was still a wait for a table. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and it was a nice surprise that wine was half off (I read this on the menu after ordering a glass and thought the bartender should have mentioned the specials when we ordered) it took a while for the table and we ended up being seated in the bar area at a high top. Had I known, I would've just ordered while at the bar. Again something they should ask is your preferred seating. Usually the bar area you are seated right away and if you want a booth you get on the list. The appetizer took a long time to come out and then our food was quickly after so I wish I would've skipped the appetizer. The waiter was very nice and the food was ok. Overall nothing special and is just like going to any chain (chilis, Texas Roadhouse)

Came for lunch on a Friday and got seated right away. It's clean, bright, high ceilings. I ordered the skinny margarita and my husband ordered a beer. We also ordered our entrees at the same time. Then we waited..... after 20 minutes we stopped our server to ask about our drinks and he was like "oh I have to go to the bar and get them." They did taste good so there's that. But then we continued to wait for our food for another 15 minutes or so. We noticed the tables around us with the same server were having similar experiences. Not sure if it was the server or short staffing overall or something but that definitely detracted from our meal. I had the nachos with chili as my meal and my spouse had the brewhouse burger with fries. Our food was tasty but based on the extremely slow service at a time when the restaurant wasn't super busy, don't think I'd return.

Seating area

Food is ok run of the mill Sysco supplied or another food supplier nothing special but one thing that bugs me if the seating area gets this type Of attention, see pic . Then I can only Imagine the kitchen

They came free with my Nashville fried chicken sandwich order.They do great deep fryer food. My sandwich was all sorts of crispy, spicy and tangy fun. The space, however, has changed a lot. I remember when it was the Pump Station several years ago. The late owner, Neil Evan, was a fixture there and his seafood Mac & Cheese was something to rave about. By contrast, Common Roots has a more limited menu and plainer furniture. A lot of pizza varieties, tacos, salads and burgers. Decent bar food. By contrast, Common Roots flagship in Glens Falls appears to have a better menu with more variety. I generally eat healthy. I can't eat bar food regularly. The meal was great for a Friday night out. There's also a very good non-alcoholic beverage and drinks menu. I was happy to see all of varieties of stout. The snowy stout was delicious. So was the kombucha. The bar where I sat was clean, sleek and modern. The bartender, who took my order was helpful with suggestions. The main dining area looked a bit sparse for 8pm on a Friday night but the business is still relatively new. I'd like to see an expanded menu with at least a few more healthy choices and some family-friendly selections. Meanwhile, I'll know where to go if I get a craving for awesome freshly made potato chips.

Great beer and great food. Stopped here after touring the capital and it was a fun,delicious spot.read more

A variety of seating was available - near windows, near the TV in the back, outside, at the bar, standing at one of the 2 pinball machines, etc.. The current beverage list has 6 beers (3 IPAs) and 2 hard seltzers. Flights are very reasonably priced at 4 6oz. pours for $10, which can include the hard seltzers. My favorite pour was their Bennie Brown Ale, but I was pleasantly surprised by the hard seltzers, particularly the raspberry, for its crisp, fresh, flavor - not quite so much for the cherry lime, because I thought those two flavors canceled each other out. Food is not available, but there is a blackboard near the entrance (and the swag) which lists the entertainment and food truck schedules. Their website has an "on deck" section which currently doesn't have anything listed, but I'm hoping for interesting changes to their beer menu over the upcoming months.

A few seats outside but mainly a smaller indoor spot.

My boyfriend liked several of their beers so he opted for a flight of four - their Brown Ale, Red Ale, Extra Special Bitter and Ordinary Bitter. I went with a glass of carbonated Sangria from a Niskayuna-based winery, Capoccia Wines. I had no idea Niskayuna even had a winery! He really liked their beers and I loved the Sangria - it was so refreshing and fruity. It's super spacious with a bar area and adjoining room with more tables and corn hole. They had signage for a corn hole league that just ended. They also have an attached store with equipment for home brewing. Highly recommend stopping through! We loved chatting with Roger about the brewery and about his travels too.

The tasting room is in the larger portion of a strip mall on Route 4. The seating at the bar is very cozy, and on your left you have a larger, very well maintained, area with tables and the rest room. The beer is good here, and so is the art of conversation, which, to me, is equally important at a brewery. They let us sample a few items before settling in on our chosen pours. I loved the eclectic setting, and for me you can't go wrong with 60s and 70s music (yeah, I was around for all of it).

The U-pick experience was fabulous, with a great variety of apples available. We picked both Gala and Honeycrisp apples -- the Honeycrisp were a clear fan favorite: crisp, juicy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. The Galas were equally delightful -- did you know they're a cross between Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red? Originally developed in New Zealand in 1934, they've definitely earned their reputation as the ideal lunchbox apple with their sweet and mild flavor. Pick-your-own runs from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM daily, and the weather couldn't have been better for it. Afterward, we stopped into the farm store (open until 6 PM daily) and were impressed by the variety of apples and other local goods available. To top it off, we grabbed a cider donut (delicious, of course!) and checked out the newly rebuilt cidery and brewery. The space is spacious, modern, and very welcoming -- clearly designed with comfort and community in mind. Staff were friendly and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit -- whether you're there to pick apples, sip a cider, or just take in the fall vibes. A lovely outing all around!
