    Fish. Delish!
    Bill S.

    Still the best fish fry in the Capital District. Ted's always delivers the good stuff.

    I've lived in the Albany area for most of my adult life, and this was my first visit to Ted's. How did that happen? I have no idea. The newest location, on Western Avenue, was well laid out for social distancing. Tables were far apart, and spots for standing in the line was marked. I had ordered online, but did have to go inside to get the food. I would have preferred to have my order brought out or handed off in a drive-up window. There was a sign that said, "online orders, go to the front of the line." One improvement would be a way to get to the front of the long line without squeezing past everyone and feeling like I was butting past. If I'd known I could go around to the right, I'd have done it sooner, but it took me a while to figure it out. My food was waiting- who knows how long? I ordered at 2:30, but my pick up range was 2:45-3:15. When I went in at 3:00, as I didn't want to wait around inside, it was waiting for me with a pile of other orders. There did seem to be a couple folks waiting for their food- they must have known something I didn't. I'd rather be the one waiting, so the food is hot. It was all paid for online, and the very funny pleasant cashier gave it to me as soon as I asked. They were out of soda cup tops, and she came right over to refill and thanked me for telling her they were out. I decided to eat in my car, so here's how the food was: the large piece of fish was excellent: perfectly salty, crispy and tender. The same goes for the fries: really perfectly cooked. The hot dog roll was soft snd fresh, but not grilled. They gave satisfactory size container of catsup and one of tartar sauce. I had indicated online "tartar sauce ON the sandwich" as it specifically asked, but I see that that might get soggy if the fish had to travel a ways. The tartar sauce was very good. My criticism is around the Cole slaw: it was meh, fairly tasteless, and I didn't eat more than 2 tastes before putting the plastic top back on it. Overall, a very good meal! I'll definitely go back again. They have a bucket of fish on Fridays that I'd like to try, and also seemed to have much more on their wall menu than I saw online. Including cheesecake, which I would have been tempted by if I had seen it!

    Dining area!

    Ted's Fish Fry is like a beacon in the night! The food and service are amazing!! I had been craving scallops for weeks! We happened to be in the Albany area and luckily drove by Ted's. The Sea scallops were so large, fresh and plump. I was in heaven!! Perfectly cooked and the Cole slaw that accompanied them was delicious. I only wish they had fresh lemon instead of lemon juice packets!

    Very good fish and fries. Loved it. It was just more expensive than I was hoping. But the quantities were very large.

    I'm out of superlatives for Hooked, but since it had been a while since we had been, I thought it…read morewise to update my review. This is a haute cuisine place that is masked by the casual dining atmosphere. Seriously: top notch chef, original recipes, a core dedication to quality seafood, paired with a fresh fish counter and some prepared food to go. We usually go for something special, but tonight I decided to get an old childhood standby, fried clams (the Boston Basket) and the fish burger sandwich. I did not expect either to be as transportive as they turned out to be. The fried clams were as delicately done as I've ever had: not crispy, but not too floppy, with excellent breading. And while I prefer my clams naked, we tried all three of the dipping sauces -- a remoulade, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Now normally I loathe cocktail sauce and can take tartar sauce or leave it, so I figured we'd eat up the remoulade and ignore the other two. Still, I gave them little nibbles. Man! The cocktail sauce was like no other I've had, with a heavy hint of horseradish and a far fresher flavor than I've ever had. Then the tartar sauce -- genius! It had a delicate spicing, with capers providing a floral backdrop. That was only a preliminary, as the fish burger proved to be complex, with hints of multiple kinds of fish, and a fennel-based spicing. I ended up having that afterglow, as if I'd had a couple of cocktails and was sitting next to a fireplace, that is the hallmark of truly fine food at an advanced level. We also had the usual outstanding service, attentive without being pushy. I seriously think Hooked should consider splitting into two restaurants: one where the ambiance is upgraded to match the high caliber of the food, and another cheaper one that is strictly fast casual and takeout, and they'd more than double the business. There is a restaurant back where we come from in California, Turtle Bay, that did this with fine dining on one side and the quick, simple, and affordable food on the other side, with a big shared kitchen between them but with completely separate ambiances. That way I could come back more frequently, and still have the original Hooked for special occasions!

    I finally decided to give Hooked a try after hearing many great things about their lobster roll…read more With that said, I'm glad I did because the food was delicious. To explain, I ordered the cold lobster roll with fries and it was great. First off, the lobster was tender, incredibly fresh, and they loaded the roll with it. Likewise, the roll was perfect. It was airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My only issue with the lobster roll was that it needed more mayonnaise. In the same manner, the fries were phenomenal. To make plain, the fries were scorching hot and seasoned to perfection. Also, they had a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. These were simply great fries. Essentially, Hooked offers great lobster rolls and fries.

The woman taking orders excessively talked to the couple in front of me telling them how she had worked there 34 years etc. she was pleasant but clearly could care less about taking my order. The young staff in the back clearly looked like they could use some help. My order of two fish fry's and a small order of fries and onion rings to go came filed on top of the fish instead of separate containers and just stapled with wax paper on top instead of a take home box. They said they were not ready for take out. Even though they advised the shake machine was ready it was not so no chocolate shakes. Do better Genes Fish Fry!!! I'm a long time customer and not going back. The fish fry's are smaller unfortunately and the fry's and onion rings tasted terrible.

    We are from out of town and don't have a BJs near us. I have been to this location once before…read more Previously the service was horrible but we all loved the food. Our experience last night was much better service. We had Vicky as our server and she was a delight. So hardworking and caring. You can tell she pours her heart into her job. My major rave about BJ's this trip is the happy hour deals and deals of the week. We were thinking we were going to use a good sit down dinner and we ended up diving into "snacks". We just made it before the end of Happy Hour and we got some spinach artichoke dip and we both ordered personal pizzas. We also took advantage of the $5 wing specials on Wednesday. The spin dip was great but seemed to be missing something. Maybe some spice. The personal pizzas were a bit smaller than we were expecting, but for a $7 special you couldn't go wrong. I had the BJ's classic combo minus olives. It was delicious. The freshest toppings. The wings were a bit disappointing. Maybe because we're from Buffalo... but the dill pickle boneless really didn't have much flavor. The hot honey buffalo didn't seem to show any of those flavors. I almost wonder if they were the wrong flavor. But anyways, cheap deals, great waitress! I'll be back next time I'm passing through. We also loved that even though the place was packed, it wasn't loud! They have designed it well.

It was indeed "family friendly." I'll definitely be back, and I recommend you hungry people go as well.
