    Panda paw
    Hwal L.

    I'm all for supporting local, especially privately owned and operated, small businesses, and so glad we've found this local ice cream shop. Seriously, what's not to like? Awesome ice cream with an almost overwhelming number of flavours, indoor and outdoor seating, playground and batting cages for family friendly entertainment, plenty of parking, inexpensive snacks and foods....and did I mention sardine ice cream? The panda paws, maple walnut, and French coffee are all ace and we can't wait to try other flavours. Viva the grandstand.

    Great little local ice cream stand! I wanted a stawberry milkshake made with actual stawberries instead of syrup and they did it for me!

    BEST.DIVE.IN.AREA!…read more Local resident here. I remember when it was under it's former name, "Everydays". Please do not let the internal appearance fool you. The customers and staff are welcoming. There is outdoor seating for warmer months. Lets talk about burgers. To.die.for. Burgers are huge, the bun is monogrammed. They can customize any way you wish. And tasty!!! Splurge on the fries with (beef) gravy and plentiful. We have also ordered wings as an appetizer - crispy, tasty with just enough sauce. Mild is VERY mild ( not complaining! ) Your feet will stick to the floor and the food will stick to your ribs. Local or Visitor - please patron and enjoy great food at reasonable price.

The atmosphere is worn and dingy but the warmth and welcoming of the people are well worth the visit. We have driven by this place so many times while visiting Albany and thought no way I would go in there but we were looking for lunch and the reviews were so great we had to try them and I'm glad we did. We had the cheese Quesadilla and Mexican fries. Both were excellent. I really want to try the build a burger but unfortunately today is our last day in town . I would highly recommend a visit because of the warmth and food. Don't let the outside scare you.

    My friends really love this place. They told me that nostalgia was a big part of it. They grew up…read moreeating those burgers, which they said were pretty good. I finally made it to Jumpin' Jacks the other day. It's a mid-century outdoor diner, which is a local institution. I felt as though I traveled back in time to the 1950s or stepped into a scene from that old tv show, "Happy Days." The place looks awesome. I ordered a Jack Burger which consists of double hamburger patties covered in cheese and coleslaw on a bun. While the patties look flat they are tasty and very filling. I also had some fries, which were very good. I was stuffed. The 2 Jack Burgers--one for a friend-- fries and two fountain drinks ran me $26. Not bad. I was there for an early dinner at about 4:30pm. I've been warned that the lines can get very long. My friends suggested in order to avoid crowds I'm best off showing up at off hours. It was a fun experience. I finally get it. This a bit of Americana and those burgers taste good, too.

    **MY EXPERIENCE:**…read more Upon approaching Jumpin' Jack's Drive-In, we were greeted by a sizable crowd, confirming its status as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. My wife ordered fried fish planks, while I opted for a cheeseburger with barbecue. For her, onion rings followed, and I chose french fries. Post-meal, we indulged in their exceptional ice cream, a highlight of the experience. This establishment is a cornerstone near New York, offering a quintessential dining experience. **HISTORY & CONTEXT:** Jumpin' Jack's Drive-In boasts a storied past, serving as a beloved staple in the New York area since its inception. The drive-in's enduring popularity is a testament to its commitment to quality and community engagement. Known for its iconic menu and vibrant atmosphere, it attracts visitors year-round, providing a nostalgic escape into American diner culture.

    Last night we had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Vice and Virtue…read more From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this restaurant takes pride in what they do. The owners were there the entire evening, personally overseeing everything and checking on our table several times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. That level of care and attention is something you don't find everywhere. The menu is incredible, with so many tempting options that I already know I'll have to come back multiple times to work my way through it! Everything is made fresh from scratch, and you can truly taste the difference. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and it was so good that I completely forgot to take a picture before digging in! To drink, I had not one, but TWO Razzleberry Sparkling Lemonades, made with Tito's Handmade Vodka, lemonade, muddled blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, topped with Prosecco. They were absolutely delicious and dangerously easy to drink! Two of my friends ordered Mojitos, and they were beautiful, refreshing, and looked absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the Shrimp Ravioli, and in his words, it was "excellent" and trust me, he's not easy to impress when it comes to food! He finished his meal with the tiramisu, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect ending to the evening. Two of our friends enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie. It was originally intended as a St. Patrick's Day special, but it became so popular that they've added it to the regular menu permanently. After hearing the rave reviews at our table, I can see why! Another friend ordered the Slammin' Piggy Tacos and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. Our other friend had the Jerk Shrimp Tacos and loved those as well. For dessert, I chose the Chocolate Pie, which was absolutely delightful and the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. One thing I especially appreciated was how accessible the restaurant is. It is completely handicapped accessible, which can sometimes be difficult to find, and there is a convenient parking lot right next door that makes getting in and out easy. If you're looking for fresh, homemade food prepared by local owners who genuinely care about the quality of every dish they serve, you need to check this place out. We left happy, full, and already talking about what we'll order on our next visit. We'll definitely be back soon because there are still so many items on the menu I can't wait to try!
