> [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > You need to leave the Capital District. :lol :nod you will not find “the best ribs ever” at a chain restaurant in upstate NY. there are two local BBQ places that would be better. “Chicos” on Western ave in Guilderland and “Q BBQ” on ontario street in Albany. ---

Then something is seriously wrong with you because the best ribs aren’t at some chain in upstate NY. Shit, Dinosaur BBQ/Blue Smoke in Manhattan destroys that place and we haven’t even went to the South yet. 🙂 ---

Probably the best ribs around here I had were at the Barnsider in Lake George. Barnsider on Wolf Road, is a different place completely - you gotta make the drive. :tong ---

Please recap good lunch places, preferably around Colonie. I’m out of places to eat during weekdays. Good food that doesnt leave you wrecked or in a coma, preferably. Where’s decent pizza in Latham/Colonie/upper central? -Maurices on Wolf Road -Jimmy John’s on State/Pearl in Albany -Moe’s in Clifton Park (because the other Moe’s suck) - Ok this leaves you in a coma but its worth it -Panera in Latham Farms Ready go. ---

If anyone is interested, try the Pig Pit down in cohoes. Good BBQ food and decent pricing. Not a resturant by any means but some damn good food.
