I have never been disappointed by the food or staff at Juniors in Guilderland they are great for lunch and dinner. If its too loud inside they have a covered and heated patio as an option that creates a great ambiance. The staff in knowledgeable and efficient. I would recommend trying there wraps or mac and cheese. And it may be a sports bar but just like the old TGI Fridays that was down the road its a very good and safe place for family's even with small children or elderly that don't get around well. read more

BEWARE OF YOUR BILL... Food was good. Id give it 4 stars on that.. the restaurant was clean which I appreciate. However beware that if you are seated at a table with more than 6 people you will automatically be charged $11.50 for a staffing fee. I was mind blown by this, as we sat at two tables put together with my brother's family. (Each having separate bills) and we were not notified about this. We didn't notice until leaving and reviewing the receipt. This "fee" was charged to both our card and our brothers card. After we left a tip on top of this. After calling and speaking to a manager he told me he'd have it refunded to me, but still this feels very sneaky. We were not told about this. Also we were nickel and dimed for every little thing. Sauces were 75 cents, and pepperoni on my daughter's kids pizza was $1 and she didn't even get pepperoni it came out cheese. Bummer!! read more

Great service! I highly recommend their food!! The bartenders are very efficient and provide a nice environment!

This place used to be really good, they had $1 wings and Utica Club beer. They no longer have that deal or sell Utica Club beer so I see no other reason to return. Other than the wings being decent I watched the waiter scratch his nuts and then give assistance to a family that had just walked in. 4/10 would recommend. Ambiance is nice though. read more

Wife and I went here for brunch and football and had an absolute blast. The waitresses were handling lots of random problems with ease. We had a couple orders of the build your own mimosas and the juices and purees were amazing. I got the eggs in a basket and my wife has the chicken and waffles. We both raved about how good the sausage tasted and we of course had to take down some of the delicious buffalo chicken dip. All were great brunch bites and we will definitely be back here! read more

This place was magnificent. For the prices, the food is delicious! I ordered the loaded mac&cheese, as well as the spinach&artichoke dip. The dip came with chips, as well as celery sticks and carrot sticks. Our server also asked if we wanted the dip to come out first, which was courteous. The loaded mac&cheese came with tater tots, scallions, a dollop of sour cream, and underneath all of that was some cheese baked directly on top of the macaroni. The food was incredible, to say the least. I took the leftover mac&cheese home because I had already eaten so much dip! The service was awesome, and everyone was so nice! Our server got my mother a refill of her drink without us having to ask. The ambiance was also good, with low, warm lighting and a comfortable booth. There were big screens, but the volume wasn't even on, so we just had chill Christmas music in the background instead of people screaming about football or commercials. The restrooms were also clean and well-kept. It was all a great experience overall. read more

1st time at this local restaurant. It was really good. Definitely will be back for a 2nd try. A nice big menu with different options and specials. Tavern/ Sports bar feel. It was a Friday around 12:30 (lunch time). Service was ok..not great but satisfactory and plenty of runners etc on hand to accommodate the crowd. Wanted to try a few things so had the homemade Mozzarella sticks...outstanding!!! Had wings with a few different sauces. Wings are slightly smoked first then fried and tossed in the various sauces #1 Buffalo Hot (good), 2nd was Moonshine mild (mustard base, like a Carolina mustard bbq good), and #3 Garlic Parmigan (really good). All the wings were hot/fresh and really good! Phi Ly cheesestrak with waffle sweet potato fries...good! Burger medium with American cheese and regular fries....really good!!! Prices are fare....overall a great experience. read more

Keep in mind I was pretty hungry here lol. Came here to the Guiderland location for the first time with the family. We were seated pretty quickly which is great. The atmosphere seemed pretty vibrant. The tables they sat us at felt like they weren't yet cleaned. Super sticky so points off for that . My margarita was solid so no complaints there. The chicken Ceaser wrap wasn't dry and pretty tasty. The fries at this place were a pleasant surprise. I recommend having them with whatever you order. My daughter said the Buffalo Mac and cheese was tasty and filling. Overall solid experience and I would give at least one more try. read more

Many vegetarian options including seitan wings. I had the burrito bowl with rice warmed up. Wasn't the special Rice quinoa advertised but ok. Was essentially a rice bowl. I skipped the protein. Not bad. Decent beer selections . Very good service at the bar. Clean. Lots of parking. All TV's on baseball - needed some golf IMHO! read more

Every time I go to the bar I'm rarely greeted and when I am I've been sitting there for at least 5 minutes. Today was no different, there was maybe a handful of people there. I was looking forward to ordering food and having a beer while I waited. As I'm waiting for service someone else walks in and is served before me, before I was ever acknowledged. That bartender needs a refreshing hospitality class. read more

Food and service were outstanding on Friday night! A little loud but its mainly a sports bar

The food there is excellent. I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant and I think that the price for the food is reasonable it's not too low it's not too high it's right where it should be. I believe for what they serve. The service is very good. They have a lot of different People there but the ones who waited on us have been very nice very friendly, very outgoing always attentive to our needs and what we're looking for so we've had no problems with getting our food or getting our service when we needed it. As far as the ambience, it was a clean atmosphere, and they do have a lot of TVs, but unfortunately the wave that it set up you don't have the ability to watch the TV in every seat that you are in you might have to turn your neck and look at the TV to see what in particular game or show that you wanna watch that playing at that time that's the only downside to that place and the only reason why it lost the star. If you're ever in the area, give them a try. Thank you for listening. read more

Ordered take-out multiple times (4 times) with my significant other. First time our burgers were entirely wrong, missing every single topping except cheese. Second time my burger was correct and my boyfriends was not (again missing every single topping!!). Third and fourth time I ordered on my own and the burgers were correct. Just really disappointed that his burger came incorrect twice. I've given multiple chances -- just hope if we decide to order his again that it will be correct read more

Great little place in guilderland. Lots of space, decent menu and lots of tv to watch the game

Football Sunday funday!!! Party of 4 arrived around 1pm on a Sunday, bar was almost full. The bar area is very big. Decided to have the hostess seat us, which from mostly every table in the dining area you can see almost all of the TVs for game day. The waitress was nice, food was pub style and drinks were following only thing the Draft Beer selection could be beer. But all in all good meal and service. Brunch is serviced until 2pm, and they do offer special brunch cocktails. read more

I ordered garlic farm wings and I've never seen them add mayo what were they thinking It made it taste awful, the waitress behind the bar was more or less dazed and confused. I was told they had good wings at one point but I guess they got a new cook and frankly it's not the best read more

We have been anxiously waiting the opening of this restaurant since it was announced that Juniors would be moving in! Went second day of opening and everything was fantastic. No hiccups or opening week issues. We started with the garlic parm wings & my husband got an IPA. Service was great! We ordered a California Cobb Salad and Moonshine Pork Quesadilla as our entrees. Everything was fresh and delicious, but the winner of the night was the moonshine quesadilla - it's definitely a go to for our next visit!! Thanks Junior's for joining the Guilderland neighborhood!! read more

Junior's Bar and Grill - The tv way up there Not valued as a customer Wont be back here - American Near Me - Guilderland, New York

So I've been here a few times, if some of there servers weren't sweet, compared to most of Albany which has terrible service I would never come back. No one has ever taught one of these bartenders to pour a proper Pint a Guinness. There is an exception to one female bartender who knows, but the rest of the bar staff think they are pouring a traditional draft. How it so hard for these bartenders to google a proper pour ?? Maybe no one has called anyone of them out, who knows. Please learn the difference quick as you are doing the public a disservice who consume Guinness as no one who may know what it truly should look or taste like is a pure shame. As for the food it is a truly hit or miss and depends on who is the days chef. Some time okay , sometimes shit!! If I didn't live close you wouldnt even be a thought process. Maybe it's just Albany, who knows!! read more

Junior's Bar and Grill - Shameful to even ingest!! - American Near Me - Guilderland, New York

Big fan of the Albany location, miss their cardinal sandwich. Checked out the Guilderland location, they did a great job renovating it, lots of room at the bar. Polite bar staff. Ordered the Hummingbird, the avocado was hard, the chicken seemed like it was cooked in a microwave. The fries were not fresh. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, as they just opened a few weeks ago and enjoyed their food at their Albany location, I think they'll improve in the kitchen. read more

App: Half portion of nachos. Delicious. Plentiful not skimpy. Also ordered the one-eyed willie burger and the moonshine pork quesadilla.

This is the third time I've been to the newest Junior's. I will say that had I reviewed my first two times, it would be the same. First, the food. The extensive array of offerings is the best part of the menu. The few items I've had in my visits, wings, burgers, power bowls are all average and nothing to write home about. The staff really need to shape up. Start with the hostess who seemed to be put out when we entered and asked for a table, what an effort it was for her. Our waitress who seemed to be new, which I don't fault her for, rarely came to check on us until the place was half empty. Lastly, the girl who brought the food just placed all the food on the table in the middle of the seven of us. Even when I said that the first two plates were for the two boys 8 and 6. She placed them in front of me. The juniors in troy is much better as in staff. Next football season I'll be going back to troy, if I can't find a different sports bar. read more

Great service and great food. The only bad part is getting stuff to go, sometimes they forget things from the order. So look threw everything before you leave. No fun eating wings with out the blues cheese! read more

Food is terrible. I had the Nashville Burrito (fried chicken, hot sauce, scrambled eggs, cheese). I don't think they made the chicken like Nashville hot chicken. Taste like unseasoned scrambled eggs and was the blandest dish I have had in years. The tortilla was not heated or grilled. Belgian waffle was this big dry waffle. No fruit, no whip cream, no ice cream. French toast was big soggy chunks of bread. read more

I was really excited when I heard Junior's was opening a location closer to me. I waited awhile after opening for the hype to wear off and give them time to work out the kinks. Its a good size and looks nice. We sat in what appeared to be a patio type area but was fully winterized and heated. I wasn't sure what I was in the mood for but I remembered really liking the nachos the last time I went to the Albany location like a year ago. I think they must have changed it because the cheese was not as I remembered. I thought it used to be more of a beer cheese/nacho cheese. This was more of a chili cheese sauce. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't what I was in the mood for. The wings however were disappointing. They weren't super hot like when you get fresh fried wings. These tasted more like they were precooked and baked or reheated. Plus they were small and they gave me all flats. The menu is the same uninspired bar food that dominates this area unless you can execute it exceptionally well and they don't have anything that stands out. read more

We have gone the last few years for Mother's Day and loved the menu. This year the menu was limited. When we got there we were asked if we had reservations and said no because you weren't doing it today even thou you were . After watching peoples food that came out people were getting food that was not on the motheres day menu which we were told it was the mothers day only. The service was not great this year no one nobody really checked on you. I don't think we will be back read more

Mediocre food IMO. We sit at the bar for lunch when we go. Most often the tenders are accomidating and friendly. Tonight, the male, 35-ish who took over at shift change late afternoon had a bad attitude. Be nice, patient, smile and be welcoming. Not a good look, Sir. We won't be back, ever. You ruined it for us. read more

I've been going to juniors in North Greenbush and Albany for years so I was excited when they opened one up in Guilderland! The atmosphere and vibe was EXACTLY what The town of Guilderland needed!!!

Junior's Bar and Grill - a cheese pizza - American Near Me - Guilderland, New York

We order take out from juniors more than I'd like to admit, but it's close to home and hits the spot in a pinch. However, take out (although very quick) is extremely inconsistent. We have gotten take out that is executed to precision and then we have gotten take out that makes me think "how the h*ll was this able to leave the kitchen?". Sauces that are supposed to come with appetizers are often missing, and if you order extra sauces; forget it- you won't receive them. Will I keep ordering from here? Likely so, as it's convenient. Has potential to get better, but for now, it's just okay. read more

Below par food. My youngest ordered the High Five Mac and cheese, tasted like velveeta out of the box, disgusting. My oldest and I ordered All American Burger's, medium rare, we couldn't even get them into our mouths from the amount of grease! My stomach turned knots on the way home! My daughter had two bites of bread because the burger slid out both times, I had two bites with the burger and my stomach rolled for two hours. We ordered sweet potato fries with chicken tenders for appetizer and the fries tasted like nothing, no seasoning, the tenders were dry and not tenders more like nuggets. Don't recommend ever, but our wait staff still got a 25% tip because they didn't cook the food and were very respectful! Go to OTW instead, much better food! No grease! read more

OK, we have been to the other location, wife multiple times in Troy area. Was very happy at that location. Guilderland... not so much. Not sure if owned by same owner. Tried The Dirty Bird and first reaction was did I order fries with a side of sandwich? Much smaller sandwich than we both remember. Chicken was on cold side and dry. We ordered ice teas and was not great, especially with no lemon or sugar available. Usually I get ice tea and it comes with a slice of lemon, but not here. Got lemon aid next round. I'll try it again maybe, but would rather go to other location which is a shame as we were looking forward to this one opening by our home. PS... very odd that a chicken breast is round. Was trimmed the exact size of the roll. Never saw that before. Would have been nice to have the entire chicken breast, but guess they used the pieces in my wife's Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese. Who figured. read more

I want to first say that the restaurant renovation looks beautiful. Stopped in on Sunday , sat in a booth - the divider wall height blocked out most of the noise from the bar area. result ; surprisingly quiet. Our Waitress and Food was very good . It is great to see a new restaurant open in Guilderland . read more

Waited 10 minutes at the bar and was not served. I live right down the road and come to this location often and last night was the least busy I have seen the bar in months. For whatever reason, the female bartender walked by my girlfriend and I several times and did not even acknowledge our existence. Between take out orders and drinks at the bar we give this restaurant a lot of business and after our experience last night, we will never be back. Management needs to be aware of the staff you had behind the bar last night on 6/30/23. You are going to ruin your business. read more

I wish there was an ability to rate this place a zero. Worst service I have ever had in my life. The waitress had zero social skills whatsoever, didn't introduce herself or anything and could barely make eye contact. It was not a busy night when I came in and it took 30 minutes for the waitress to get our drink order and then another 15 to bring us our drinks and she forgot 2 of the drinks(keep in mind there was 4 of us). It took 40 minutes for us he appetizer to be served and then our meal was served 2 minutes after we had just gotten the appetizer. When we asked for refills the waitress completely ignored us and we had to try and flag her down because she kept walking away. Then when she finally came back to get our refills she forgot another drink again(and my friend never ended up getting her drink) and after that she never came back to our table and we had to get the manager because my food was wrong. I ordered a philly cheesesteak with no onions and it had onions all over it. Not only was my order wrong but it was absolutely disgusting. It said on the menu it was swiss cheese and a 5 cheese. But when I got it, it was the fakest processed cheese I've ever tasted in my life. It was also completely soaked in cheese and barely any meat. I took one bight and cheese spilled every and it was nasty and we each only had one napkin. We also asked for split checks and we did not get split checks and had to wait another 10 minutes for someone to come by to get split checks. Overall it was awful, food and service included. They made Recovery Room seem like a top tier. Will never go back. read more

Full of a bunch of young kids working who seem to be pretty clueless about customer service. Every time somebody came to help us or dropped off food, it was a drive by. An actual server never came up to us, we sat for about 10 minutes until a bartender took our order because we looked "lonely." Didn't receive waters despite asking for them when the bartender initially came over, and had to ask multiple times for them. Burgers are sub par - not much flavor. On top of that the hostesses didn't say a word to us when we walked in; instead we had to greet them, and even then they didn't ask the usual "how many," so it made for an awkward interaction. Had very high expectations for this juniors but our whole party was completely let down. read more
