Can’t even get alcohol at Moes. WTF. :nono

The one over in Guilderland you can, atleast the last time I was in there you could. It’s been a while since I have been so it may have changed.

I too was a Bombers fan, but Moes absolutely destroys bombers… and yes, there are several choices of beer and wine, sitting in a nice chilled bucket of ice right next to the cash register.

I’ll take a Triple, softshell, black beans + chicken, with salsa, cheese + sour cream.  
And a Dos Equis, dammit.

I haven’t been there in years but they didn’t serve alcohol then. I still like the Margarita Bar at Bombers and it’s ghetto like it should be. 🙂

Moes is good and the last I was at the one in Clifton Park they sold alcohol. I usually get the steak home wrecker, with plenty of jalapeno’s .

correct! beer, wine, and frozen margaritas (two kinds I think). Some guy wearing hospital scrubs tried to order two margaritas to go last time and was surprised and upset that they wouldn’t let him, moron.

I go to the one in guilderland, btw.

homewrecker black beans chicken… done!

Come to Harlem, NY and go to Dinosaur BBQ. It’s probably worth the drive.

Found a new place. A little mom and pop diner with seating maybe for 20. It’s adjacent to the Colonial Carwash by the Rt7 and State street. Food was great and the prices were very reasonable. :thumb

> The Bears in Duanesburg doesn’t advertise, but their Chateaubriand is ridiculous! You have to order it a few days in advance so they can prepare it, and it’s just perfect. The seafood platter appetizer (salmon, big a$$ shrimp, herring) was great too. Service was excellent, desserts were killer. I’d go back there anytime… Need an excuse to try the Prime Rib, I hear that’s real nice.

This guy is serious. Everyone I know who has heard of The Bears has said it is absolutely the best steak they have ever had. They don’t have much room for guests and it’s a small little place, but the food is unbelievable. PERFECT steak, there really isn’t anyone who makes it better from my experience. The only downside is that you have to make reservations far in advance to go.

Here are my other favorites  
_Best Expensive_ Barnsider (Wolf Road): great meals, reasonably priced, very good service

_Best desert_ Cheesecake Factory I guess (Colonie Center)- a little over priced, but great dinners and deserts

_Best Burger_ Jack’s Hamburgers (Pawling Ave, Wynantskill): Jack’s sliders are the best burgers around IMO. They taste great just like everything else on the menu, and they are priced right.

_Best mini hot dogs/ sausage_ Gus’s (Watervliet): If you haven’t been, then you are a loser

_Best pizza_ I Love NY Pizza (4th Street, Troy): Great price for 2 slices and a drink, tons of different varieties, best pizza I’ve ever had in the area

_Best breakfast_ Duncan’s (Rt.7, Brunswick): Real hometown feel, great service, and huge breakfasts

_Best fast food_ Taco Bell: Cheapest and best IMO

Honorable mentions: Fuddruckers, 5 Guys, TGIF, Applebees, Hot Dog Charlie’s, Famous Lunch, Coldstone, Subway, Quiznos, Verdiles, Ted’s Fish Fry
