While I've seen Sweet Tree Farm meets in a few places around Upstate NY, I bought their beef short…read moreribs at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market. The ribs were great! Plenty of meat on them and topped with a nice layer of fat which caramelized nicely; I first seared the short ribs before cooking them in a slow cooker. As stated on its website, Sweet Tree Farm is committed to sustainable farming, does not use growth hormones, nor do they routinely use antibiotics. Their beef is 100% grass-fed and finished. If the quality and flavor of their short ribs are any indication of their other products, they're definitely doing something right!

Husband and I picked up a couple of Sweet Tree Farm's grass fed, humanely raised rib eye steaks at…read morethe Troy Farmers Market... and whooo boy, were they tasty! Yes, they are a tad on the pricey side when compared to the supermarket (about $1/ ounce with tax for the rib eye), but the excellent flavor and clear conscious don't hold a candle to that supermarket stuff. Plus, it's still way cheaper than you'll find at any respectable steakhouse. And who doesn't love supporting a good local business? These folks offer a number of items, including various cuts of steak, beef and pork roasts, ribs, chops, sausage, kebabs, bacon, ground meat and chicken. Don't forget the eggs and maple syrup. Plus, they seem to use as much of the animal as possible, given that they also sell shank and marrow bones, dog bones, heart, tongue, oxtail, liver, and beef and pig fat. I love that. Find the friendly Sweet Tree people selling their goods at the Troy Farmers Market (Saturdays), the Schenectady Farmers Market (Sundays) or pick your order up at the farm by appointment. Awesome stuff here; I can't wait to try more. Rock on, Sweet Tree.

Dixie's Deli & More is an informal sandwich eatery & snack shop in Fultonville, located on NY 30A,…read moreclose to the NY Thruway overpass and Exit 28 is about a mile away via Riverside Drive. The food menu offerings include breakfast sandwiches (all day), hot & cold sandwiches & subs, burgers, hot dogs, soups, chili, deli salads, pizza (14"/16"), fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and chicken wings. They use Boars Head meats here. They also sell candy bars, small candies, chips, cold drinks, coffee and tea. The place is very cozy inside which is order at the counter with a few finished tree trunk cut table seating and seating along the front window and a collection of antiques & toys in the store. I stopped by Dixie's for lunch takeout. I got a Hot Dog with Meat Sauce, Mustard & Onions ($3.50 plus tax) and a Large Mac & Cheese ($6.99 plus tax). The food was ready to go in under 10 minutes. The mac & cheese was a dense mix of soft elbows and a semi rich cheese blend. The firm hot dog was loaded with seasoned ground beef, mustard & onions on a standard hot dog roll, very similar to the Michigans I've enjoyed in the North Country (NY). Dixie's Deli was a good call for lunch. I will have to stop by again when I'm traveling through the Mohawk Valley.

I've visited this diner more than a few times. Mostly breakfast and lunch. I haven't been disappointed yet. Thanks Ashly and the rest of the crew. This place is worth a try. Nothing fancy but a good meal to be had by all.

When I moved back to the area, the only thing I was excited about in town was certain eateries and…read moreAl's was at the top of the list. I have fond memories of eating the Sicilian-style pizza as a child and then as an adult, out on my own before I moved away. Coming back at almost 50, I was just hoping the food would kind of be the same, but it was like a taste of childhood. The pizza is the best I've found in Gloversville and Al's is still Al's. Either you're a local and know the spot, have been told about the spot, or did a search online because they pizza shop itself has no sign to lead the way. Their bread is also phenomenal and exactly like my youth as well. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Your pizza is still in my top three ever eaten! We'll be back!

Al's Pizzeria should be renamed "Under Construction Pizzeria & Deli." This Gloversville institution…read moredefinitely as a lot of character. The interior of this cozy old pizza shop looks as though it's been under renovations for quite a while. The menu boards, fixtures, small grocery shelves are covered in plastic, brown paper/cardboard taped to the floor, and cardboard shaped cutouts hang on the walls and labeled with black marker with what's supposed to be hanging including clock, pictures, and several G'ville sports plaques. There are current NFL schedules taped on the glass counter for the Giants, Jets, and Bills. However, there are outdated The X-Factor/Pepsi promos in the store and depicts two ex-judges (Paula & Nicole) from the first season. Al's Pizzeria sells round and sheet pizzas, pizza slices, subs, cold salads, dinners, and homemade bread loaves at fair prices. In the cooler, bottled Pepsi products, cold beers, and milk are offered too. I ordered a 12 cut Sausage Sheet Pizza, which was ready in about 30 minutes as promised. I used an Entertainment coupon and the pizza was just under $8 with tax. The rectangular thin crust pizza had a light airy, but firm crust with thick crisp edges, ideal for breaking off into breadsticks. The pizza had a good amount of thick tomato sauce, sprinkled with not too much mozzarella cheese and chunks of spicy ground Italian sausage. I enjoyed this good family style sausage pizza over several days for snacks and lunches. I would probably return here again if I wanted inexpensive slices of pizza, but I'm crossing my fingers with a small glimmer of hope that the pizza shop may be fully renovated on a future visit. As a previous reviewer noted several years ago, the shop was under construction then and it's still under construction today. I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Millers has the best pizza in Esperance. Unfortunately, it's the only pizza in Esperance…read more Miller's has a side business which caters barbecues, pig roasts and BBQ chicken. If you live in Esperance and you want food but you don't want to cook or drive 60 minutes round trip to the closest pizza place then Miller's Food Good To Go is really your only option. The Hillview Tavern also apparently has a food menu, but after living in Esperance for five years, I've never ventured over there. This pizza place is the result of hiring pizza cooks who have never worked in a pizza kitchen. Pizza is an art form. Making good pizza is more than the sum of its parts. Sure you can throw flour, water and yeast in that big dough machine they have and come out with something that looks like pizza dough, but there is so much more to it than that. The pizzas we have received from Miller's is the result of having the ingredients but having none of the skill. For some reason, the pizza cooks at Miller's lubricate the bottom of the pizza box with cracked black pepper. A LOT of pepper. Miller's also sells pizzas that are made by people that do not know how to make pizza. At Miller's, the pizza cooks stretch the dough unevenly until it tears, then places it on the pizza pan, and then puts toppings on it. Then it goes in the oven until the cheese melts, and then it goes into the pizza box pepper bath. With holes through the bottom of the crust. Because the dough is uneven, the dough does not get cooked fully which means you are served raw pizza dough. This, I assume, is one of the first lessons a real pizza cook is taught. But since no one in the kitchen at Miller's has ever cooked a pizza professionally who will teach them how to cook one? Now in all fairness, this was brought to the attention of the staff, and the owner, Mr. Miller, told me "Sorry about that, next time you call in, tell them I owe you a free pizza." While I was in there on a Friday night, I was surprised to learn that Miller's delivers. But that night while I was there correcting our confused order, the phone was ringing off the hook from Miller's customers who had gotten the wrong order dropped off at their house by the deliveryman, Mr. Miller was apologizing to the people on the phone offering them a free pizza next time as well. It was a frustrating scene to watch while being a customer, but even more frustrating I can imagine while being the owner. Now that Hannaford has opened up almost within sight of Miller's Food Good To Go, the game has changed. Hannaford has a full deli, institutional salads and fried chicken. Hannaford also has frozen and fresh pizza which does not have raw dough nor holes through the crust. Miller's Food Good To Go HAS GOT TO STEP UP THEIR GAME. Preferably they need to hire a real pizza chef. Now it's been more than six months and I haven't claimed that free pizza and I don't know that I ever will.
