Naughter's
Katy C.

I love a good diner so I stopped by Naughter's for a quick breakfast while working in the area recently. The space is pretty small and has typical diner vibes. I sat at the counter and got to watch them work their magic on the flat top. I was blown away by the prices - you can get an egg and cheese sandwich for $5! I got the egg and cheese, added sausage, and ordered a hash brown. After tip, this hearty and filling meal was only $11.49! My food was so tasty with perfectly griddled eggs, melty white American cheese, and super crispy hash brown patty. Everyone working was friendly and polite. Loved my experience at Naughter's and I'm sad that I can't get this type of food for this price where I live.

No frills, solid service, and great food! Who would have thought I'd find one of the best pancakes ever in Troy. So happy to have the home fries chopped smaller so they're crispier. Surprised that their side of bacon of $5 comes with 5 pieces!! Inflation? Not here. Can't wait to be back!

I've been to Naughters twice, and honestly, I'm a little surprised by its high rating. It's an adorable diner with charming interiors that have a vintage vibe. When you enter, you'll find a few tables and some bar seats. Due to the limited seating, depending on the day and time, you might encounter a wait. The menu at Naughters is small. I've tried their vegetable hash and the eggplant sandwich. The food was just okay, but it was nice to see the chefs cooking right in front of you in the open kitchen. The staff were quick, patient, and attentive. The coffee was also just okay. One advantage this spot has is that it's open till 2:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a potential go-to for a late-night bite after drinks. I felt like my experience was pretty average, and I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

Its 800am on the NY Thruway. We have been on the road since 5am, and I start to wonder where we can stop for brekky. I pull up google maps and Naughters rises to top like cream. I move to yelp and lots of good reviews here too. They were rated 5 stars with 300+ reviews on the G maps. We love stopping in Troy. We already love Defazio's and Lucky Corner. We were ready for a good breakfast spot here. They are open 8am Wednesday to Sunday and close about 1.0am or 2.30am. These are great hours because many restaurants close early in Troy. We once drove thru on Friday night and couldnt find a place to get food during the pandemic, but i digress. The menu is simple but they deliver on what they promise. This is a nice place for the classic diner fare of hotcakes, eggs, homefries and toast. I ordered a side of sausage and got a nice skinless sausage patty. I enjoyed my eggs benedict with canadian ham with a small side salad of arugula. Everything seems to be made from scratch. No powdered eggs or frozen saussge from the restaurant food supplier company. They also had unlimited coffee in these throwback brown ceramic diner mugs. This place is cute and memorable. The service is friendly, efficient and attentive. Naughter's is only about 2 years old and now they expanded next door. Spend your hard-earned dollars here and you won't regret it.

Industry eggplant

Just got the industry eggplant for a takeout order. It was really delicious, I would definitely get it again. It's a breaded fried eggplant with a hash brown on it I think the frozen type, it was some flat rectangular thingy. It also had roasted red pepper on it which added an additional layer of flavor that complemented it, and had marinated cherry peppers which added a nice acidic zing. The pesto mayo was delicious I love pesto I could have it on anything. And the bun was nice and soft very slightly sweet. I will try to replicate this to a certain extent in my own kitchen, really enjoyed the combination of flavors.

Service was great, Food okay [Troy NY] We had breakfast here at Naughter's before starting our day. We came in to an empty restaurant on a Saturday morning around 8:30a but it didn't take long to fill the modest size eatery. The waitress was welcoming and very friendly. After perusing through the menu we ended up doing a la carte for two-eggs, hashbrown and bacon (for me) and sausage for the hubby. The food is cooked right there in an open kitchen. Our breakfast was served by one of the cooks, perhaps the owner himself, I don't know. I was a bit turned off by all the grease on the hashbrown and bacon. There's seating everywhere. We sat by the front window. You can also dine at the counter or at a table. The ambiance has a vintage touch. Walls hung old photos. There is a shelf with old cassette tapes, right next to a boom box on the countertop. The diner is located in Historic Downtown Troy. 3.5 Stars for my experience. Review #3011

iced latte
Muriel D.

Was told that Naughter's had the best pancakes so I went in with high expectations (and a little bit of skepticism). They exceeded my expectations. I called ahead to get a pulse check for what the wait was looking like for a party of 3. I was told that it may be a 15-20 minute wait because they were full. To our pleasant surprise, we walked in and had no wait because a table had opened up. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The atmosphere of the space was also vibrant and homey. I had looked at pictures of the menu offerings on yelp ahead of time and it seemed that certain items may have changed. The menu was small but still had some good options and reasonable prices. My dad and I both got the chopped cheese, I got a hotcake on the side and my sister got chocolate chip hotcakes and a biscuit. I also got an iced latte with oatmilk. Both my father and I enjoyed the chopped cheese. It was filling, flavorful, and didn't feel to heavy. The pancake was amazing. It wasn't too sweet, and it was fluffy, light, and overall just amazing. I actually texted a friend that the pancake changed my life. My latte was just as good. The coffee was strong but combined well with the oatmilk and syrup for an overall smooth taste. The food came out quickly and the servers were all attentative and fun! Such a cute, vibey, yummy spot; I will definitely be back!

Awesome find in downtown Troy! I was between meetings with a colleague and we found Naughter's on Yelp. We walked in, were quickly greeted by super friendly staff and placed our orders. I loved my veggie hash with eggs and toast. Hot and delicious! Eggs were cooked perfectly. My colleague had French toast sticks, sausage and a potato of some sort...he really enjoyed everything. Cool luncheonette vibe. Early hours AND late night hours to serve the bar crawlers. Score.

Proof of the deliciousness of that hash art piece. It was art, plentiful, AND HEALTHY AND DELICIOUS!
Eileen B.

Wow!! We walked around looking for a place that would serve us breakfast at 2 pm. Man oh man, we SO LUCKED OUT!! Go here go here go here. Wait staff are SO NICE, but really, you want to hear about the food. I had delicious fluffy pancakes (they only serve real maple syrup ), and their house made sausage patty. Yum yum. It COULD NOT BE MORE PERFECT). My spouse, a much healthier eater than I am, had the vegetable hash with 2 poached eggs on top. Honestly, a work of art. So, we completely lucked out. Also, a shout out to what Troy has become. Honestly, I haven't been here for 20 years. It is so interesting, alive, a new go to place for us. Who knew? Keep it going, Troy!

cozy vibes and mirror selfies at Naughters

when we tried to grab SD sliders after the kichen closed, the bartender and 5 regulars all pointed us in the right direction, promising we would find the right "we've been celebrating this guy's birthday-eve for hours and need some comfy food to cap the night" experience at Naughters - and boy oh boy, were they right. The warm lighting and diner vibes gives this spot a feeling of being long loved. With late night post-bar hours, breakfast faves on the menu, and the chillest of cozy decor vibes, there is no doubt in my mind that this place has been the setting of so many stories between friends, partners, and strangers, too. One of the highlights, IMHO, in the cassette collection lining two of the walls and the stereo rocking out the staff's selections. When we visited, Metallica's "...And Justice for All" was the featured album. The food was exactly what we needed - breakfast sammies, chopped cheese, and fries for the table, all cooked fresh for us by the happy staff. Regulars down the bar from us ordered the Industry Eggplant sammie, which will be my choice for my next visit, for sure. Another recommendation from our dining-mates, dipping those fries in a side of pesto mayo - YES, YES, YES! that is the right choice. This is obviously a favorite of locals, as a few stopped by during our visit to order meals after their own date nights out and bar shifts. When Midnight hit the clock, all the patrons and the staff joined us in a round of cheerful HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to our friend. THAT explains the energy of this place.

As I arrived to this small and intimate restaurant I could see that it was completely packed. Wishing on a prayer there would be room, the hostess asked if I'd like to sit at the bar. I said yes right away and was swept there. The only seat open was at the end of the bar, but you are in the middle of the restaurant and the kitchen so it's a perfect spot to be able to see everything. After some time glancing at the menu I decided that the steak frittes and cab wine would be my order. As I waited I saw other items that immediately caught my eye and the burger was one of them. Mental note to come back and order that. When my meal arrived it was a generous portion and delicious. I enjoyed every minute of eating slowly, people watching and enjoying the ambiance of this place. It's reminiscent of a SF or NY hidden gem place but with a relaxed feel. Everything was great. From the service to the meal, perfection! Can't wait to to be back!

The Roosevelt Room in Troy was a great experience from start to finish. I was honestly expecting a standalone building, but it is tucked into a strip mall near HVCC. That said, parking was easy and stress free, which is always a plus. This was our first visit as a party of four, and the service was superb. The attention to detail really stood out and was noticed immediately. Our waitress checked in at the right times, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything came out exactly as expected. Meals are made to order, so substitutions were no issue at all, and it was nice to see gluten free options available. When you walk in, you pass through a curtain and are immediately greeted by a coat attendant who takes your coats, which instantly gives the place an upscale feel. The ambiance is well done, with soft lighting and nice background music. It is on the smaller side and dimly lit, but that is clearly intentional. The menus actually light up, which was a unique and thoughtful touch that fits the atmosphere perfectly. We had reservations and were seated right away. It did not seem necessary on this particular evening, but I would definitely recommend them on a weekend given the size of the space. The food itself was excellent. Everything we ordered was very tasty, and the presentation across the board was impressive. Desserts are prepared by a pastry chef and were just as good as the rest of the meal. It is definitely on the pricey side, but that is to be expected for the level of service and atmosphere. This feels like a special occasion type of place, and in that context, it is worth every penny. We really enjoyed our night and would absolutely come back. There was also a sign mentioning live jazz on Fridays, which sounds like a great added touch. Overall, a very strong 5 stars.

For a moment, I forgot how amazing The Ruck is, simply as a beer bar…read more When I was passing through town, I was only in Troy for a few hours. Clearly, I couldn't do everything. And I thought I would have to give up on my desire to pop back in to The Ruck for a pint. On the way back to my hotel, I decided to just check to see what Dave and crew had on tap. Egads! Seriously folks, this bar is an embarrassment of riches. I only wanted to have one beer, but I left with three. Two I enjoyed on site, Hill Farmstead's Susan and the brewery's Society and Solitude #13. These are heavy hitters, and even just two five ounce pours put me in a place where I felt it would be imprudent to have a third. Fortunately for me, the crowler machine was fully functional, and I was able to grab an oil can of Weldwerks Xtra Xtra Broccolli to go. Beer names are stupid, but they will not dissuade me from drinking something delicious. Sadly, Dave wasn't there, so I didn't get to say hi, or shake his hand, or thank him for his hard work of managing such an epic tap list. Regrettably I rolled in late in the evening and the kitchen had already closed. No wings for me. Not even one of their special deviled eggs... which sounded delicious, btw. Welp, it was a very very good reminder for me to get back to Troy, arrive earlier in the evening, and move The Ruck back up to the top of my list. You Trojans are lucky to have this joint. Go there. Often. And rejoice.

Another great visit to Innovo Kitchen I've been to Innovo Kitchen several times over the years and have reviewed them before, and today's visit didn't disappoint either. One thing I really like about Innovo is that they frequently change the menu, so there's always something new to try, and I've never had trouble finding something that sounds good. Tonight I went with the Rigatoni Riggies with tomato vodka sauce and chicken, and it was delicious. The warm bread that came with it was also really tasty. We also tried the Dorito Cool Ranch tater tots, which were delightful. But the real showstopper was the peanut butter mud pie. Soooooo good. Definitely one of those desserts that makes you wish you had ordered two. What really made tonight's visit memorable, though, was our waiter, Matthew. He noticed the funny design on my T-shirt and struck up a conversation about it. We laughed and chatted for a bit, and eventually he mentioned that he's been a waiter for 27 years. It showed. Matthew was high-energy, funny, personable, and attentive without being overbearing. He checked on us several times and seemed to genuinely enjoy what he was doing. Watching him work was like watching someone who has truly mastered his craft. It was a master class in waitership, and it made an already great meal even better.

I have had multiple dishes here from a roast beef sandwich, burger, chicken Caesar salad, an onion pasta dish, and even a lobster Cobb salad. Every single dish lacks seasoning, culinary character, and is just bland. I want to like it, but they make it very hard.
