The server took our drink and food order. I didn't get my coffee without asking twice for it, even though they brought 2 iced lattes that another member of our party ordered. Then we watched for 20 minutes as people that came in multiple parties after us got their food and we had nothing. Then she brought 3 out of 4 meals. My girlfriend ordered the special Raspberry Nutella French Toast. It came with strawberries and we were told, "we're out of raspberries so we substituted strawberries." That is total BS. How about telling us you are out of raspberries and asking if we want something else. My girlfriend can't really eat strawberries since they make her break out. Even worse is I STILL didn't have my food. Server said, "yours is coming, but I didn't want these to get cold." After the rest of my party was halfway done with their breakfast and I still didn't have mine, I asked for a manager. I was told there is no manager there...another load of BS. Server came back and I told her I didn't want my food at this point. She said, "okay, I'll just bring the bill." Are you f'ing kidding me??? You expect us to pay for this crap?? Needless to say, I will NEVER be back to this $hithole. Service is horrible and they will not let you complain to a manager. No manager is there on a busy weekend day? I find that hard to believe. Stay away from this place if you actually want to eat a meal and not just watch everyone around you eat. If you do decide to go, make sure not to sit in Tara's section.

Alexis Diner met my expectations. After living in the Capital Region for years, some people found…read moreit odd that I'd never been there until now. If you own a tv, you've probably seen the commercials featuring the family behind this family-owned business. I did try to go to Alexis years ago. I believe it was on a Sunday morning. There were literally no spaces left in the parking lot so I decided to pass. There are best times to visit. I showed up on a Thursday evening just before 5:30pm. The hostess greeted me and told me that the rush hadn't begun yet. About 7 tables and booths were already filled. That would have kept some businesses plenty busy but Alexis is a big place. It can seat so many more. The parking lot was less than half full. It's clean and bright. A big classic Greek diner. The wait staff and hostesses are friendly and efficient. A server was headed towards me to take my order when my iPhone suddenly rang. She immediately backed away and she returned as soon as the call ended. She was so observant. The menu is massive. If I have a bone to pick it would be over some of the pricing. I love open turkey sandwiches with gravy but it looked as though they were charging more than $17. It would have to be an out-of-this-world turkey sandwich for me to go there. Instead, I ordered a Monte Cristo for about $14. I'd never had that before. Ham, turkey and melted cheese between two slices of French toast. The sides included Cole slaw and a choice of fries or salads. I went with a green salad. It was already a high calorie meal. I asked for their house-made Greek dressing on the side which was awesome. I liked my sandwich a lot, too. I could only finish half, so I took the rest home. As with many diners, there's a big glass display case for desserts. The cakes and pies look amazing. Perhaps someday I can find if they taste as good as they look. But that's for another time. I was so full. Thanks, Alexis.

You've driven by it a hundred, maybe a thousand times. "A place that can only be described as…read morenondescript." - Anthony Bourdain. Stop in, check your ego at the door. Working man's Watervliet gem! The kind of place, like Ralph's in Colonie, where the locals eat but don't tell you about because they want to keep it to themselves. Stuck in a Time Warp in the nicest way possible. Red glitter Formica and retro photos of Watervliet history abound. A simple unassuming 24-hour diner on the railroad tracks where everything could go right. And does. For starters, there really is a "Bob" and family waitstaff, warmly welcoming you to their humble establishment. Want your bacon crispy? I always describe mine as "if you dropped it it would shatter". The owner assured me she has a "burn it" button for customers of my ilk. My experience is breakfast for lunch, twice. But, like your typical diner, they have just about everything, anytime. Did she say pierogies? Be still my Polish/Ukrainian heart! But I digress, as I am wont to do. Go ahead. Park your car in the adjacent parking lot and tell me you can't envision Guy Fieri pulling up in his Camaro convertible doing the same.

Had decided on a ham club and was totally surprised. It was a more than respectable sandwich stuffed with what seemed like a home cooked ham and plenty of it. It was also stuffed with plenty of bacon as well. A perfectly tasty porky goodness Sammy. The downside is that it was freezing cold. We both agreed some heat would have made it a more pleasant lunch. Service was great with plenty of parking, but adding some heat would have improved the meal.

I've been coming to 76 Diner for years, going back to my college days, and while I don't get over to that part of Latham as often anymore, I still make it a point to stop in a few times each year. I will say a while ago they changed their menus. I used to enjoy the older version with some information about the presidents of the United States. Probably silly of me but I enjoyed reading that and it went along with the '76 name. I'd like to see something similar to that come back on future menus. It's a large place, so there's rarely much of a wait, if any, and the parking lot is big enough that finding a spot is never an issue. On this visit, we were seated quickly, greeted promptly, and our food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Any time I've been here it's always nice and clean. This time was no exception. Any time I've been in the restroom, it has always been clean as well. The service stood out, our waitress checked in several times to make sure everything was good and see if we needed anything else without being overbearing. Everything we ordered tasted great, and the desserts were just as good. This has been a reliable spot for me for a long time, and this visit was no different. 5 stars

Yes, we've been doing this for over fifty years, and once again we were satisfied with our meal as we departed satiated. I ordered the Big Breakfast ($13.49) comprised of two pancakes (instead of one French toast), two eggs, and bacon (instead of either sausage or ham). That's quite reasonable since we paid $9.99 ten years ago. I did opt to add an order of home fries on this visit for an additional 35 cents. My wife decided to have a Create Your Own Omelet ($10.99) with cheddar cheese and spinach (plus an additional 35 cents for that second item in the omelet), served with home fries and toast. Bottomless cup of coffee is $3.99. The pancakes were large and very light and fluffy considering how thick they were. I would have liked them to have been served hotter, which, coincidentally, is what my wife also said about her omelet. But the pancakes were tasty and satisfying. The hashbrowns were a good mix of some soft and some crispy potatoes. The over easy eggs I ordered came out perfect and the bacon was crispy the way I like it. Overall, a pleasant meal that we didn't have to cook at home. Our server was very welcoming and friendly.

I had some time to spare recently after dropping my dog off at a veterinary clinic in Troy. I ordered the Turkish Breakfast Plate which turned out to be the most expensive breakfast on the menu. It came with a lot of food. It included eggs, Simit ( a Turkish sesame bagel), grapes, toast, honey, olives and cream cheese. I also ordered a Turkish coffee which is a little stronger than what I'm use to. It hit the spot. Service is fast and friendly. The restaurant small but clean and cute. It looks as though the owners might have added a table. There are three or four tables in all. There's a new partition in the kitchen providing a little more distance between customers and those working on food prep. Gone are the beautiful ornate gold detailed Turkish dinner plates and teacups. I found them charming though not practical. I sort of miss them but they looked like heirloom items which wouldn't be appropriate for day-to-day use. They've been replaced by simple white dish-ware. Much more cost effective. FYI. There are no restrooms for customer use. That issue never came up for me but an older couple came in looking for a restroom and the owner advised them to go to the fast food restaurant down the street. As for the food, it was every bit as good as I expected. Some things don't change. I took the leftovers home and made another meal of it the next day.
