Crispy Onion Pedals
S F.

Definitely make the stop! Very welcoming environment. Chris, the owner is great! All good vibes! The food...Awesome!! Started with the onion pedals. They came with a really tasty dipping sauce, with a nice little kick. The Billy Burger... we all know the key to a great burger is the bun and this did not disappoint. The burger meat and bacon were quality meat and cooked perfectly. Took an order of the Buffalo wings and their homemade blue cheese for the road! Thanks, Chris!

Absolutely the best wings in Amsterdam, NY. Amazing service and friendly owners. The food is delicious and a nice welcoming atmosphere.

The BEST burger I've had in a while! Meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Delicious bun and fresh toppings.

Best burger I've had in a long time! Stopped here on a whim on a road trip - it's just 5 minutes off of route 90. So much better than a highway rest stop! Cute neighborhood tavern with good beers on tap, a nice seating area in a room separate from the bar, good kids menu, very friendly service, and the manager or owner even checked in on us at the end of the meal.

I will be dreaming about these hot wings forever. All other hot wings will disappoint! These are The Best of The Best!

BEST HOT WINGS EVER! I thought I'd only have six but they were so delicious I had 12. The blue cheese dressing was the stuff of dreams. People are very friendly and made us feel like family. THANK YOU!

It's Amazing! Honest to God I can't think of a negative criticism if you paid me! I got the dirty love burger and it was amazing! It's a burger with a slab of deep fried Mozarella cheese! It oozes deliciousness! And is what I will consider to be the main dish of this place! We also got a plate of nachos which is like a meal itself! Honestly the pictures should speak for themselves, do yourself a favor and eat here! PS the service staff were super nice!

this establishment has the best atmosphere, the owners are absolutely adorable and are so welcoming and lovely to talk to! the chicken wings are BOMB. anybody looking for a place to eat or have a good time this is the place to go!!!

So we found this place via Yelp. Thank you Yelp! We just got done biking 20 miles on the Erie Canal trail and we were starving Service was excellent and speedy. Food was awesome. The pic is what my wife had. I had the Parmesan Chicken. Portion sizes were huge. We also got a bowl of the roasted corn seafood chowder. It was also amazing. For the price and the quality of the food and service I gave them 5 stars! Amsterdam has a gem of a place to eat!

Came for the draft beer, stayed for the delicious food and dessert!. Quaint neighborhood spot. Friendly staff.

The Jersey Shore, slightly modified and I asked for marinara on the side.

Traveling back East for business and my co-worker and I were looking for a good spot off the toll road..... Shorty's is that spot! What a find! The menu was all over the place and that's what made it awesome! The waitress shared that they try to do everything in house, including their meets! I ordered the "jersey shore" and it was a winner! Plus it looked as outlandish as I had hoped with the cheeses, hot beef, and sautéed onions and mushrooms oozing over the sides of the bread. Plus the french fries were super good as well! My co-worker got the sausage patty that is ground in-house and I know he liked it because he didn't say a word once it arrived and it was gone before I knew it. Haha. Service was good and seemed like a great local spot where they knew everyone. If I'm ever passing through again, I'll be stoping for another great lunch! Thanks!

Blackberry Rum punch Yeungling Draft Beer

I'm giving this place 4 stars because the food is very good. It's a little ole bar/ restaurant in the Southside of Amsterdam. Inside there is a bar to the right and tables in another room to the left. Nothing special, nothing extraordinary but the food most definitely is. We arrived on a Wednesday night and only a few people at the bar were present. We were greeted by the owner and he sat us at a table . It was chilly but it was cold out too and he informed us that the propane stove was not working . We decided to order drinks. I had a delicious blackberry rum punch and hubby had a draft Beer. We both had the crispy fried haddock dinners which came with soup or salad. Opted for the French onion soup which was delicious and warmed us right up. Gooey cheese melted over the top and baked. Omg! Heaven in a cup! Our dinners came out and the haddock was crisp, hot and delicious. Came over seasoned French fries, cocktail and tarter sauce and coleslaw. The coleslaw was chopped a little to fine for me but was good. We finished everything! We will definitely go back to try some more menu items. Dinners, burgers, bar food etc. They always have specials as well. Supports your small local restaurants as they are struggling!

Shorty's neighborhood place. Being remodeled outside.

Food is delicious. One of the best salads I have ever had. The Saturday night bartender Chris is hysterical, and worth the stop!

Went here for the first time on a recommendation from a friend. Friday early evening, 3 of us, we…read morewere seated right away. The menu was small (usually means they focus on doing less things well, rather than many things mediocre). Beer selection was decent. I ordered the "Hot Honey Chicken Tacos." Was I wrong to expect the chicken to be tossed in hot honey rather than hot honey just drizzled over the fried chicken tacos? I was disappointed when I got what was set in front of me. Also, you're going to give me a mess of hot honey all over these fried chicken tacos and not have wet wipes?? My hands were like little kid sticky afterwards. The other two in our party of 3 had sandwiches. One got fries with their meal. The other got tater tots. The sandwiches came out without the sides. The fries shortly afterwards, but like 10 minutes later the tater tots finally came out after we spoke to the very nice waitress. I guess I don't understand why we can't send out complete meals with any kind of coordination. All in all the atmosphere was good. The waitstaff was nice. The drinks were good. The food was ok but overall it wasn't mind blowing. Oh! And I'm so glad I didn't have to drive or find parking because that was a hot mess in an of itself. You should go try it. You might have a better experience. I guess I expected more.

I am back in my hometown visiting family and friends. Everyone I know have highly recommended this…read moreplace. Upon walking in, I immediately loved the ambiance of the place. The ambiance was great Our waitress was great. I have some interesting food allergies. The kitchen staff did a great job in preparing my meal. I had the burger salad plate. It was delicious and filling. I highly recommend that you check out Creekside!
