    Grasshopper
    Daryn N.

    If you like grasshoppers in your Cobb Salad, this is the place for you! This was entirely unacceptable and totally caught me by surprise. The staff did remove it from our bill but that was it. It's entirely disgusting that it was even there but lol??? Anyway, the music is very loud to the point you can't hear the person in front of you.

    2x Brekky Smash Burger and the crew
    Owen B.

    First of all, thank you to Dave and Busters for their generous Veterans Day discount. Food was great! Brekky Burger best burger here. Service was constant and considerate despite the busy time we visited. Environment is what you expect at a Dave and Busters. Great location!

    Dry rubbed Wings- perfection
    Sandra S.

    First off let me start by saying I was absolutely amazed my the staff in this location. I had the pleasure of being helped by two employees by the name of Charde and Lisa. When I say they went above and beyond it was an understatement. This was my first time at this location and I came with my family and friends. From the time we entered we were greeted by friendly staffed and we were helped in getting game cards for my kids, orders by the bar and even when we were seated at the booth with my family. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything but I will describe it. I started off with the blackberry margarita and my friend with an original margarita both of which were good. I ordered buffalo wings and fried pickles. The only way I enjoy pickles is fried and they did a great job. The wings were fried perfectly and the sauce was ratio was perfect. Even the dry rubbed wings my friend ordered was just delicious. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. I then ordered the Paula D pinacoola and I have to say I originally got it because it was suppose to have a henny shot in it and it def didn't. To be honest it almost tasted like a virgin pina coolada. That was the only thing I was disappointed in. My friend and I also had a round of tequila shots during their happy hour. My kids had the sliders and a classic burger and fries and they loved it. My kids are very basic but picky eaters. So if your child is the same you can't go wrong with the classic burger and fries. I absolutely hope that this review makes it to corporate somehow because both Lisa and Charde need a raise. I will absolutely be back and I hope that all the staff is as kind, and knowledgeable as they were. I rarely ever give five stars but this was well deserved!

    Dave a nice day

    Not to be confused with Dove And Butter, which sell soaps and spreads for your bread, this is a fun paradise. This is a pretty handy Dave & Buster inside the massive Crossgates Mall and as usual the best thing about it are all the games. Some of them are delightful and you can spend hours here, but the main problem - and the reason I don't give it a higher rating - is that you can also spend so much money here. Games are not cheap at all and I really think the games should be free with the purchase of food or drinks or something like that - or even just free. Because it makes it inaccessible for people who don't have large disposable incomes, ish.

    We had fun

    I have been there once . I liked the vibe. A little too noisey and crowded. But hey they are gaming high energy place. Overall great experience went for my cousin's birthday. I shall be back soon

    Hawg-a-saurus cheese fries. So good!
    Becky K.

    I went there for dinner for the first time. Ordered a few appetizers and I have to say that the Hawg-a-saurus cheese fries are really really good. Get the sweet potato fries with this not regular. I was surprised at how good the different meats tasted on this dish. Very flavorful. I also ordered the nachos app and the pretzel dogs app. My kids loved the pretzel dogs (of course). The nachos were fine but my preference is when there are tons of toppings covering everything. So personally I thought it would have been better with even more beans, guac, meat, tomatoes etc.

    Not for adults. A kid spot. Disappointing for some adult fun. Other arcades have more options for the 30/40 year old kid.

    I came here for lunch with a group of friends because of their perceived reputation for being able…read moreto accommodate folks with gluten intolerance. They did live up to that expectation. All the staff with whom we chatted, hostesses and servers, were very knowledgeable about which offerings were either gluten free or could be made gluten free. Their menu seemed to go on forever, so many pages of options, for both food and drink. I opted for one of their more basic burgers, which I requested done medium. It was definitely well beyond medium, but it was still so juicy and tender that I was still satisfied with it. All of our meals came out at once (always a plus), and we were checked on regularly. Maggie McFly's is in a challenging location, because it's right across the corridor from 110 Grille. I have no idea how busy they are evenings or weekends, but I do feel this place is worth considering.

    If you're local, have you ever eaten at Maggie McFlys in Crossgates Mall, Albany NY, If not, don't…read more I havent tasted the food yet because it took 20 minutes to get waited on, another 10 minutes to get our drinks, then another 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and now still waiting on our appetizer and who knows when our actual food will come. Let me add some clarification that for most of this time I've watched the two waiters standing there chatting with a waitress, or one chat chatting with a couple guys at the bar, and I can count how many customers are in this restaurant right now on one hand. Trish had a similar experience about four or five years ago which she came here with some work acquaintances how we decided to give them a second chance. They won't be getting a third.
