Can't believe that my last review of Scubber's is from ten years ago! I've been craving those huge mozzarella logs and still remember how good they taste. It is certainly still an upstate thing and I promise you won't find anything remotely like it deep down in the southern states! The same ordering counter and staff remains, and so has the flavor! I am glad that I can still find my absolute favorite fried mozzarella with melba sauce in Colonie. The cheese log is fried to perfection and it will give you the perfect cheese pull every time. EVERY TIME. There's something about its slightly crispy exterior and savory and melty texture inside that goes so well with the sweet raspberry sauce. I never order marinara with it because to me, their melba is also one of the best in taste and consistency. Besides the fried cheese, their pizza is also pretty good with a very cheesy top and flavorful sauce to coat. The pizza crust is also made not too thin or thick, no doughy toughness but just a slight chew that makes it totally worth it. Their prices are very reasonable still after all these years and I hope that this no frills spot continues to thrive. I will be back every single time I am in the area. However, their lot is shared with another quick serve establishment next door and there are limited parking spots. There are only a few small tables inside if you plan to dine in, and while taking it to go is an option... I wouldn't recommend it because the food would be best served fresh and piping hot. read more

First was expecting sit restaurant with waitstaff....I stead you order at the counter with only a couple of tables in small area. Second on a Friday afternoon only one person appeared to be working all of the job functions...so service very slow. Beef on weck, as other reviews state, is not good. The bun was burnt, the beef seemed to be a some over voted, some medium, with inconsistent temperatures. I was disappointed with the wings they were dry and mot crispy. $18.99 for 10 wings and fries seem expensive . read more

Drove 6 hours to try Atomic wings because i heard they were crazy hot and the place was closed with handwritten closed signs on the doors and windows. Disappointing. read more

Wings super dry, steak sandwich meat burnt marinara sauce tasted from a jar!- bbq sauce tasted funky. Threw the food out- the 2 stars were for the service they were working hard. read more

I live close by and was enticed by the thought of a wood fired pizza. I called and ordered a small cheese was told 20 mins. It was about 1 hr before close and they weren't super busy but had a few orders to go. 30 mins later I got a decent cheese pizza. Sauce was fresh and acidic with enough fresh garlic to keep a vampire army away. Cheese was good and the crust had a nice chew that reminded me more of a bread type crust. Not too much char for a wood fired oven... not sure what to think about that. Lots of dried oregano/ herbs sprinkled on top that didnt much for me. Like many have mentioned come here for the food if you like it but not the customer service. They're very matter of fact and to the point here. Dont expect any small talk. Also, covid related... neither the cashier or the person making my pizza had masks on. And the customer in front of me didnt have his mask and nothing was said. Take it for what you will. read more

Scubber's Hot Wings - Small cheese. Fresh sauce, dried herbs, tons of fresh garlic, floured crust, nice chew, hardly any char. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Albany, New York

The steak sandwich is great! My dad and I have gotten wings for the Bills games. Those are really good too! Never disappointed.

I've really only ever gotten the pizza here and I have to say it is one of the best Margherita pizzas around. I love Margherita pizza. I try it in every pizza joint that offers it so I know what a good one tastes like. This place makes a good one. They use fresh cherry tomatoes, slabs of real mozzarella, fresh basil, parmesan, the sauce is slightly sweet and the crust has that perfect crispy yet chewy texture that you can really only get from a real open flame pizza oven. So many pizza joints go for the cheap NY style but this is more "old world" style in my opinion. read more

Excellent wings and really enjoyed the pizza. Good crust and nice spice in the sauce.

So I've heard about this place from a few folks around town. Some good, some bad. I decided I would give them a shot. First let me help end a small debate. The restaurant is called Scubbers. Pronounced the way you would say "Scuba Dive" or "Scooby Doo". I had a debate with a friend who insisted it was something else but I knew he was wrong :) The restaurant is essentially a take out joint that probably does a fair share of delivery. They have a few tables inside if you want to chow down immediately. I have heard the mozzarella sticks are really good. I got one order. I was stunned by how big they were. They can't be picked up with out them falling apart. They were good and melty and I went with the marinara sauce (I don't like the melba enough to ask for a full serving). I found the sauce to be acceptable and the breading to lack seasoning. Best in the area? No, no and no. That leads me to the other item I ordered. They called them boneless tenders aka boneless wings. By default I hate boneless wings. Western New Yorkers don't eat boneless wings. They eat bone in wings with blue cheese. The problem is I have heard the wings here are disappointing and a friend said the boneless BBQ were his favorite in the area. So I gave his favorite a shot. I didn't care for them at all. The breading lacked seasoning, the chicken was dry and the BBQ sauce was unique but I am not running back for it. I passed on the blue cheese because that doesn't go with BBQ. I can't prove it but I have a hard time believing they were hand breaded. I also shutter to think that people have this food delivered! They have two other menu options that made me take pause. Beef on Weck and Wood Fired Pizza. I suppose I could give those a shot some other time but I am pretty skeptical at this point. read more

It's hard to pay over $10 for an order of wings at a counter service joint. Especially if they aren't consistently amazing. The Buffalo chicken tenders are less than $10 and more than enough for a meal. The problem is that with white meat chicken, some of the pieces can be dried out a bit. Some are really juicy. But it still doesn't quite deliver the same satisfaction of a bone in wing. Perhaps I can think of this as a healthy alternative and be happy with the choice. Really what I want is a six piece order of wings. Dare to dream. But the strength of this review lies not in their piquant classic Buffalo style sauce. Rather, I'm adding another voice to the chorus of Scubber's most excellent mozzarella sticks. Sticks is too diminutive a term. Logs isn't quite right. I'm going to go with spears. These spears are kind of awesome. Their fry job is better than Ralph's (my favorite local mozzarella stick) with plenty of crisp and surprisingly greaseless batter. The cheese has good pull and is pleasantly milky. If only it was a bit saltier, these could be a contender for grand champion. On my most recent visit, I found a much improved seating situation from earlier visits (which granted were quite some time ago). Now there are a few four tops and a few more high top deuces. 22 seats in all now makes it a place where one might want to eat in. And you should eat in, because this is fried food, and nothing good happens to fried food in transit. You want to eat it as soon as its no longer skin blisteringly hot. read more

Scubber's Hot Wings - The handmade mozzarella sticks. With raspberry sauce... obviously. There's no other way. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Albany, New York

Scubber's is back! After a short hiatus, Scubber's Now 2 Go! is now located next to Dunkin Donuts and Red Roof Inn on Wolf Road, owned and operated by the same family who owned former locations in Latham and Troy. The parking lot is pretty tight with a few spaces inside the Dunkin Donuts drive thru loop. This place is geared towards takeout which has an order counter with menu boards and four tables for eating in, flatscreen TV on the wall. They serve up their hot chicken wings including plain fried with BBQ sauce on the side and buffalo wings in five different taste choices including X-mild, Mild, Medium, X-hot, and XX-HOT (ATOMIC)!! Besides wings, other offerings include boneless tenders, finger foods, wood fired pizza, salads, sandwiches/wraps (served with natural chips or apple), small desserts (brownies), and Coke fountain drinks. They also sell the wing sauce by the bottle. See the menu at http://www.scubberswings.com/menu.html I stopped in here recently for takeout. I ordered 10 X-mild Buffalo Wings ($7.99) with carrots, celery, and bleu cheese dip on the side, Beef On A Weck ($5.99) with chips and dill pickle spear, and a Small Onion Rings ($1.69). The food was ready in about 15 minutes after ordering. The wings tasted very good which had a nice spicy flavor and crispy on the outside. I prefer less hot wings so I can really enjoy the flavors of the wings. My friends are daring and go for the X-hot wings. However, the wings here are pretty small for the price charged (around 86 cents a piece), little meat and mainly bone. The Beef On A Weck was very good, which is a staple in the Buffalo area and one of my favorite sandwiches. This big sandwich had thinly sliced medium well roast beef au jus on a soft kummelweck roll (plenty of caraway seeds on the crown) with horseradish on the side. The natural chips on the side were nice and crunchy and not salty. The Onion Rings on the greasy side with a thick crunchy batter (beer) and sweet onion rings inside. Next time, I'll have to order a wood fired pizza with some grilled veggies on top, which looked pretty good coming out of the oven.

Tried this for lunch on Thursday. Chose the Italian on ciabatta bread. The sandwich was nothing short of delicious. Cooked to perfection with a perfect amount of meats and vegetables. The home made chips were a good side to what was the best sandwich I had all week. Suggest ordering ahead if you are pressed for time as prep time is about 15 minutes. Only downside was the lack of parking, otherwise this is a 5 star lunch Second visit quite a disappointment. Do not get the "philly" as it is done completely wrong. read more

They suck wings looked like they picked them out the garbage taste like wood! Disgusting I would never eat there ever again!

If you're looking for a nice hot wing , great size wings this place has been around for years always consistent . Be careful their mild is hot! read more

Stayed at the red roof inn, and wanted something different for a change, so chose this place. Got the beef on weck, mozzarella sticks and a bottle of hot sauce. My 1st beef on weck ever so I have nothing to compare it against. It was great! I'm very picky w my pickles, and this one that came w the meal was spot on. Mozzarella sticks are unlike most that I've had before, and better than most, and the raspberry sauce was a nice bonus, not a marinara guy here. All in all a very good experience, and will 100% going back at a later date. We had already stuffed our faces w hooters wings for lunch, but I hear their wings are bangin as well. Will be trying next time. On a road filled w mostly chains, it's nice to see a mom and pop place. read more

We have gone here for 30 years at both locations. Their wings are better than any other place (including Buffalo). I enjoy the Buffalo wrap the most. The mozzarella sticks are equally superb. Get them with the raspberry sauce. read more

Over the last six months, I've had several friends rate Scubbers anywhere from two stars to 5 stars. My wife recalls when they were in Troy, NY back in the 80's and one of her employees raved about the wings. More recently, the raving has been for the mozzarella sticks, especially with the raspberry sauce. I have never been a wing fanatic, but I've always been partial to mozzarella sticks since I first had them in the 60's. So when my sister-in-law requested that we have wings and hot dogs for dinner when she came to visit it seemed like the opportune time to pay a visit to Scubbers. First of all, I recognize that I committed the utmost mortal sin. I asked for both the wings and sticks to go. But it was likely the only way I was going to get to try them both before pigs fly. I dutifully asked the older woman who was both cook and counter helper for a recommendation on reheating my order once I got home. She was friendly enough, and without a smile, told me there was no way to reheat the mozzarella because it would simply melt. I should therefore just eat them at room temperature. The wings on the other hand could be put in a 350° oven for 5 minutes. And so that's exactly what we did. Daniel B. has said the term sticks is too diminutive for the mozzarella, and logs isn't quite right. He believes spears is more appropriate. I have to disagree. Spears might be fine for asparagus or broccoli, but no child in his right mind would ever agree to eating either of those two vegetables if the spears were the size of this mozzarella. I'm reluctant to suggest what crosses my mind that might have a similar girth, so let's just leave it at that until you see them yourself and simply say they are fantastic. And that was even after the drive home. I can only imagine how much better they would have been if I had eaten them in the store... or snuck one in the car before I left for home. I don't want to overlook the raspberry sauce, because it actually has pieces of raspberry in it. I might like the sauce just a bit thicker, but that is such a little thing to pick on at this point. So how were the wings after reheating them in the oven? We had ordered 10 of the Buffalo style and 10 of the BBQ style, both mild hotness. Neither style regained any crispiness, if they had it when I left the store, and this may have partly been the fault of Scubbers. Each order of wings and sticks were tightly wrapped in their individual bag. If I had been on my toes I might have recalled that those bags should have been left open so that steam did not build up and make the wings soggy on the drive home. But maybe the reheating in the oven was supposed to take care of that problem. I don't know. I only know that everyone agreed that there was no crispness to the wings. Most were still moist and tasty, only a couple of the BBQ ones were dry. The Buffalo ones at mild hotness (Scubbers called it smoldering) were just right for our liking for our introduction to them. The BBQ ones at mild gave little evidence of any hotness, we wished for more. Prices are not cheap, but neither is rent on Wolf Road. Ten wings are $10.99; 20/$20.99; 30/$30.99; ...80/$78.99. Two mozzarella sticks are $3,29; 4/$5.49; 6/$7.99. I actually think the sticks are a good deal considering the quality, portion, and enjoyment. We can't offer an opinion for the marinara sauce, but we can fully recommend the raspberry sauce. Their menu includes much more than what we tried. There are wood-fired pizzas, ciabatta sandwiches, wraps, potato skins, nachos, salads, and homemade desserts. They have a few tables to eat inside, and you can order ahead by phone or online. read more

Having lived in NYC and traveled all over upstate, these are the best wings I've had. Their sauce is very spicy so be careful, but it has the perfect mix of tang and heat. The nachos are really good as well. The meat is very flavorful. Pizza is also a must try. Only downside is the wings are more expensive than most Wing joints. read more

I visited Scubber's this weekend with my boyfriend-- he lives in Utica, so we're both pretty accustomed to fantastic wings. We were on a mission to find the best wings in the Capital Region, so after reading through various Yelp reviews, we decided to try out Scubber's. The wood-fired pizza is very flavorful, and we also really enjoyed the hand-breaded mozzarella sticks. I would definitely recommend the pizza to anyone looking for a tasty, authentic wood-fired pizza. But I have to say, I'm not sure what all of the fuss over the wings is about! We got two orders of the mild wings, and they were honestly pretty dry and nothing to write home about. Not to mention, for $9.99 an order, I was expecting something much better. They're not awful, but they are definitely expensive, all things considered. So, to cut a long story short: pizza = wonderful. Wings = meh. read more

Scubber's Hot Wings - Awesome wood-fired pizza and hand-breaded mozzarella sticks! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Albany, New York

Small place with seating for about 6-7 parties. Surprisingly a very large selection of food outside just wings and pizza. They offer salads, wraps, sliders, a few desserts and even fresh roasted vegetables. Place was clean but a little rustic with the concrete cracked floor. The real test for a place like this is the taste. I ordered extra hot wings, waffle fries and fried artichoke hearts. She warned me the wings were really hot. The wings were definitely very warm and pretty good. Not award winning but worth the price. The waffle fries were wonderful, the star of the meal. I am a huge artichoke fan and was excited to see them on the menu but was disappointed in how they turned out. The batter was very flat and tasteless. Prices were reasonable and service was okay. The lady taking the order was not super friendly but one of the cooks was very friendly and interactive about my extra hot wing experience. read more

Regarding their so called beef on a weck. It is absolute garbage. I have been stationed in 3rd world countries with better food. I spent 25 yrs as a NYS Correctional Officer and I have had better food in prison. The Chili at Green Haven is preferable to this swill. In short,,NEVER AGAIN. read more

I haven't had scrubbers in a few decades... but I work a 1/4 mile down Wolf rd so why not! Phoned order in and was told 20min- friend was there in 5 min of ordering. I love Wings and usually ask for crispy- thankfully I didn't ask for that because they were clearly over done. We got 10garlic parm and 10 mild (which as stated are more med heat)- my usual)and an antipasto salad came to just under $50. They do come with blue cheese(good quality) and rough barely cut carrots and celery stalks. The "new" garlic parmigian wings; according to menu, taste more like a dry fried wings with sage. The wings were warm at best (must have been sitting around)and poorly packaged- no napkins so hopefully you take them straight home. My best tip is definitely order the antipasto salad which was good value and tasty basalmic dressing with ham,Pepperoni, ,salami, cheese, vinegar peppers, and various veggies. Very good- as for the wings.... I will go elsewhere sorry to say. read more

The previous 5-star reviews are spot on. The mozzarella sticks made from scratch are fantastic. They are huge, and two sticks from Scubber's would be equal to about six normally sized mozzarella sticks. As for the wings, they're what great Buffalo wings should be. They're crisp, good sized, and served with plenty of sauce. Yes, they are hot. I got the extra mild, and even though I consider myself one who enjoys hot wings, they still have me sweating. But they were fantastic. I'll be back again and again when I'm in Albany. Thank you, Scubber's! read more

Writing this solely to bring attention to the lack of COVID protocols in this restaurant. I went in to pick up an order last evening and the man behind the counter had his mask dangling under his chin. You can't see in the back but I'm guessing there weren't masks being worn properly back there either. They had one pen on the counter and it was not cleaned before or after I used it. There was hand sanitizer so I was able to use that. Won't go back there - even after COVID because the disregard for the safety of the customers is enough to make me stay away permanently. read more

Best wings north of NYC. Everything is fresh. Homemade cheese and sauce on the pizza. The boneless wings have homemade breading and sauce, not frozen. The owners are super nice and personable. If someone tells you otherwise they have never been in a kitchen. Words won't do it justice. Definitely with a stop in. read more

Pricey but good 10 wings +xblue kick a $20 right in the behind though. I get the medium and they are hot just wish they weren't so expensive i would go alot more than I do. kind of kills me to spend almost $2 a wing. read more

They never use mask, they are very unprofessional, food is never same, they never have good attitude, worst local business to give support, clerk yells at customers, they keep there food cover so they can give unhealthy food and they don't use gloves or they never wash hands. Many more things I can say but be careful if you going to be eating there. Sorry the worst place I ever been to. Hope you don't get any Virus or food poisoning read more

Hi all so we've been getting rubber wings for years now from our local spots. so we always cooked our own. last night we wanted wings. so we decided to try Scubbers. very glad we did. crispy and flavorful wings. my adult sun and daughter got bbq and my son in law and I got hot. the hit were perfectly done. and my sin and daughter bragged about their bbq. now don't mind the 70+ y/o man who seems to have a loss of words. seemed a bit crabby to me. but he wasn't grumpy towards us. just not a big talker. now his wife on the other hand was pleasant. I would not hesitate to try their wings! honestly. and as usual, eating there is better than putting the wings in a box to steam. I think they are a bit over priced at $33 per 20 wings. the other place in Albany is $10 cheaper with 3 times the flavors. so will try there and see if the $10 difference is worth it. I don't mind paying good money for food, as long as it's quality. $33 per 20 is pushing it though. the man has been doing this since 1979 and has the same business name! that says something. give Scubbers a try. they also have wood fired pizza. son ate a pice and said it was good. next time we will try pizza and wing combo. read more

The best wings in the Capital Region hands down. I've lived in Colonie for years and used to visit the original location. A great family business and amazing food. You will not be disappointed. Things to try: - wings (start with mild and move up) - pizza (yes their pizza is worth it, super fresh) - nachos - really solidly - beef on wreck - not for everyone but worth a try read more

This place was recommended by many of my friends, but today I wasn't feeling the hype for Scubber's. We got two pizzas and buffalo wings. The good part was the wings. They had a good amount of spice and were clean off the bone, so those were good. The pizza wasn't that good. There was a lot of herbs which I liked but the crust wasn't good and the cheese had that "low quality" flavor that I can't express. But even then the wings are not worth the price. It was okay, nothing to write home about. read more

Yelp didn't let me down with those mozzarella sticks. They're about six inches each, and cost $3.29 for an order of two. The batter coating them is different from the usual frozen mozz sticks you'll find elsewhere. It is unseasoned and a thinner coating that almost shatters when you bite it. Although a touch of salt would not be unwelcome, the gooeyness and salt from the cheese renders the breading's flavor rather irrelevant. The breading is only the necessary vessel to deliver the hot, stringy cheese to your mouth. Dipped in sweet-sour raspberry Melba sauce, this is a fantastic snack, and one I'll definitely consider returning for. I wish I felt equally satisfied with the wings, but I was truly disappointed. We chose an order of ten medium-spice wings ($10.99), and I requested extra crispy. To be fair, they warned us that the medium wings were "pretty spicy." "I lived in Buffalo, I can handle it," was my cocky response. I couldn't handle it. The mediums were definitely way spicer than medium wings I've ordered anywhere else. They are a true hot-level wing. The trouble for me, though, was not the spice, but that the wing was all heat, but without the flavor. I've said it before, I'm partial to a wing with the classic butter and Frank's wing sauce, and this is not that wing. It has more of a Tabasco heat, and none of the buttery, garlicky, slow-rising heat that comes from my ideal wing. The texture of the wing was also not for me. As some other reviewers have pointed out, the wings are "clumpy." Perhaps from breading the wings are dunked in, or maybe the sauce themselves, but I that texture was a little off-putting for me. The wings were also a little dry. This is likely due to my "extra crispy" request, but few things are sadder to me than a wing with a floppy skin, so I took my chances. Also disappointing was the wing size, definitely on the smaller end of the scale for these wings. I ate two, and he ate three, the rest went uneaten. Although I can ignore a bit of grime to eat at a "hole in the wall" joint with great grub, Scubbers awesome mozz sticks weren't enough to distract me from the fact that Scubbers was on the "well-loved" side, and could use a deep scrubbing. read more

5 STARS all the way! It's dinner AND A SHOW! When I was a small child (and we're talking knee-high to a grasshopper here), my parents always got a ton of Scubbers wings to take on our long annual drives to Orlando, Fl. We would eat them for lunches at the rest stops. Back in those days, Scubbers were the most amazing wings you could get. And they had many flavors. I remember them being smaller, tight and crispy and really REALLY good. When I passed Scubbers on Wolf road recently - I had to look twice, and do a loop D loop in the car. Folks - I am going in!!!! This is a little piece of my self history. The memories of scubbers wings came flooding in. Is this the very same scubbers? I think so, but I am not 100% sure. First Visit: Pizza and wings take out. Pizza sucked. Like REALLY sucked. Like Ellio's is three steps above it. But the wings . . they were definately not the same small wings of yesteryear - but they were surprisingly good! Good enough that I would go back. Second Visit: Wings and Mozzarella sticks. When I read they had homemade Mozzarella sticks, I HAD TO. And when I tried one in the car . . I was like . . THANK YOU JESUS! Are you kidding me? These are off the hook delicious. Only one thing . . I think sometimes they may freeze the cheese which makes it a bit plasticy. But other times, it's nice and stringy and you know it's never been frozen. And really - with sticks this good . . . go ahead and freeze them!! I just don't care. Third Visit: Mozzarella sticks Fourth Visit: Mozzarella sticks Infinity and Beyond: Mozzarella sticks . . and sometimes wings. Marinara or Rasp preserves for your sticks? They are both good. It really depends on what I am craving that day. They close oddly early for a pizza/wing joint. Last time I checked, I was shocked that it was 8pm and 9pm. Cause this is the food you want at 11pm and after . . . good, greasy, food you can drink and hang out with friends with. So, why on earth do I say Dinner and a SHOW? Go inside and find out for yourself. The older couple that run the kitchen (Maybe the owners?) are totally miserable. Never smile. They look like they can't wait until the joint closes each night. And there has been this Asian kid working the counter. He is about as pleasant as a thumb tack in your eye. But . . . (here's the kicker) . . I LOVE IT!! It cracks me up. And I keep coming back. IT WORKS . . don't change a thing. Perhaps . . if the older couple in the back would randomly say something mean - or yell at someone to get out of here! I might even come back MORE! read more

No! Stop! This is not good food. Nor is it cheap enough to justify the low quality. They don't deserve reasonable star ratings. Stop lowering the bar. We sampled an array of fairly simple dishes. They were all awful. There is no reason to frequent this place. And certainly no reason to pay this much for badly prepared, poor quality. Every star you add to a review for this place diminishes the importance of giving higher star ratings to restaurants that really try. This place is just a racket AVOID! read more

I liked this place but I didn't love it. it's pretty small inside, so takeout is your best bet, but they don't package the takeout wings very well, instead of the normal foam containers that most places use they put stuff in paper bags and give it to you on cardboard, so the owners seem pretty cheap. This place is known for their wings, and I thought they were alright. be warned, their spice ratings are off. I got medium and they were hotter than what most places consider hot. their bbq wings were pretty good but the sauce tasted familiar (kinda reminded me of open pit bbq sauce). the wings here are breaded, which I like, but when I went they seemed overcooked. One thing that I thought was great was their homemade mozzarella sticks, definitely try those! especially with the raspberry sauce! their waffle fries were also enjoyable. I only tried one slice of pizza. It was good, super thin, I'd try it again but there's one thing that bugged me. It says they have wood fired pizza. you can see their oven and it looks gas fired with no wood. it still makes a good pizza though. read more

Among the best chicken wings in the area. They know how to make them, and the sauces are great. The rest of their food is good too. The mozzarella sticks are good and the Beef on Weck is the best. Mostly a take out place now though. The inside is very small and sparse. read more

Best wings I have ever had. Love this place. The owners are the nicest people and work so hard. Very very clean place. Truly people who take pride in the business. We also love the nachos. Just the best food. read more

Super consistent delicious crispy wings. They are never rubbery which is pretty gross and sadly what you will get at many other places. (Including my last 2 orders from the Ruck...yuk) Scubbers medium bbq mix is a perfect blend of sweet and spice for me. Also the mozzarella sticks or logs I could say because of the size are amazing. Anyway just dropping some love for a business that has been killing it for a long time. read more

Scubber's has ruined all other wings for me. It is the gold standard for flavor and heat. (For those faint of heart, you had better start off with mild as medium will knock your socks off.) My personal favorite order is large tenders and small Mozzarella with raspberry sauce. (The mozzarella sticks are home made and too die for. They are the best I have ever had in my life, bar none.) The large tenders are more than enough for two people with some midnight snacking left to boot. Scubber's pizza is also great. Try the buffalo chicken pizza it is exceptionally good. Also, they do a nice garlic Parmesan version of their wings and tenders. Finally, their beef on week sandwich is the best east of Buffalo. Frankly, why anyone would want to go to Buffalo when they know they can get it here is beyond me. The reviewer who said Scubber's is an institution nailed it on the head. Try it and become part of the cult. read more

If you are a buffalo wing connoisseur then look no farther. This place has the best wings in Albany. Probably 3rd best wings in all of the US (behind Anchor Bar and Duffs). I have been going to scubbers for the last 25 years. Before the new location they were in Latham NY. The recipe hasn't changed and it still the best. Wings come in several different sauces: x-hot is what I always go for and it's pretty spicy. The wings are large, meaty, and slathered in a thick sauce which is shaken on, not simply poured on. This results in an even coating. The sauce has some texture to it (i think maybe some flour to thicken?) but it keeps the sauce on the wing while you are trying to eat it. I drive up from NJ once every year just to try the wings at Scubbers because no place else comes close near me. I recently went two days ago and my son tried the wood fired marguerita pizza. It was very nice classic thin crust. I loved it. read more
