(That's not a bad thing) Ya Yas is conveniently located in downtown Schenectady near State street on an unassuming corner you would pass easily if not paying attention. No worries, though there's plenty of parking and even a parking garage next door. I went on a slow Thursday night and was met with the owner who I assume was Ya Ya herself. She immediately greeted me with the house specials along with the homemade sides. I ordered the 1/2 chicken breast, collard greens, yams and corn bread the perfect southern food combo. I'd never tried collard greens but they were tasty and felt like a cross between spinach and Brussels sprouts. The bill was reasonable at $18 with plenty of food so you definitely won't go home hungry when leaving Ya Yas. If you're in the mood for some southern hospitality in Upstate NY, give this place a try I will definitely be back.

While I waited the roughly 15 minutes it typically takes for your order to be prepared here, I had…read morea chance to think about a few things... Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

Located at the corner of Hoosick & 15th Streets, Kravin Hot Chicken (Smack N' Chick) is a fast…read morecasual eatery serving up Nashville hot chicken tenders & sliders, wings, fries, halal platters & gyros (chicken, lamb, fried fish, falafel), mac & cheese, pudding, and cooler drinks. This corner building (Ned Abbott's Newsroom/Corner Store from back in the day) has been home to other former eateries like Gourmet, Hoosick Pizza, and Pizza Da Vinci. The place is order at the counter with an open kitchen and table seating. While waiting for an appointment nearby, I decided to stop at Kravin' for lunch recently. For takeout, I ordered a Fish Gyro ($8.99 plus tax) and a Side of Mac & Cheese ($3.99 plus tax). The gyro was made to order as I customized the fillings after the frying process. I was all set in about 9 minutes. The fish gyro was huge which had crispy spiced white fish filets, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, chick peas, onions, golden fries and a creamy yogurt sauce overflowing in a warm soft gyro pocket. The orange mac & cheese side was dense and soft, a solid good side for the loaded gyro. I was only able to eat half of the gyro and mac & cheese and enjoyed the rest later on that evening. On the next visit, I plan to grab some Nashville (hot chicken) sliders and fries.

We ordered water, soup, a sandwich and two eggs, fast standard diner fare. We really felt we were bothering staff being there during stated open hours. We were back at our car by 8:59. If you do not want guests at 8:35 then close your diner at 8:30 but do not make guests feel like a bother when they are there during open business hours. We are not locals, we are here from other states and came during open hours. Food was decent so I added 1 star for that, but attitudes were a zero.
