The River Road House

"Not a bad place by any stretch of the imagination. My biggest issue was the fact we were served raw dough (Buffalo chicken wontons ) and the wings tasted like pure vinegar the Buffalo sauce seemed very daluted. The service was great and attentive and the dining area was clean . Its not a bad hometown eatery and i hope when I go back we will see that they were just having an off night ."

"Food was good, but the service was awesome. We were on a road trip and found this gem. I had the wings and fries. My wife had the blue steak salad. The buffalo sauce is very tasty and homemade. The blue cheese sauce is one of the best I have had. Recommend if you get wings tell them to cook a little longer. My wings were done but could have used an extra couple minutes. Bartender Crystal was great."

"The staff was friendly, the bar was smokey, and the food was overcooked. An unfortunate set of circumstances lead to me coming here, when my initial pick for dinner was closed. Luckily I had wanted to try the River Road House for a few weeks now, so now's a good of time as any I thought. I called in a few hours ahead of time and put in an order of Garlic Parm Wings, BBQ Wings, Truffle Fries, and a Small Salad. I really wanted wings that night, so I was really looking forward to this especially given it's my one day I get to eat whatever I want. All in total I spent roughly $42, a little steep for bar food but maybe the quality would surprise me? Well I was surprised, but not in a good way. The wings, which I was shorted on as the BBQ wings only included 7 pieces and not 10, were very over-fried. They were closer to big croutons, with a crispy chicken center. The truffle fries got the same treatment, being the most crunchy french fries I have had in recent memory, and after eating a dozen the flavor just became burnt. The only passible dish was the salad and even that was disappointing, as the leaves were wilted under the top layer which I failed to notice until after I dug around in it. Now I'm a take-out kind of guy, so my meal was a flop, but I do want to say that the staff I did deal with were friendly and nice. The bar inside has a very local feel to it, almost empty when I stopped in around 4PM to pick up my order, but I bet it fills up later at night. There was also an exterior dinning area, which is interesting, though the season for using that is coming to a close."

"We had the cheesesteak and bacon burger. Both were very good! Came in on a Saturday night so it’s understandable that service would be a little slower than usual, but we spent a large chunk of time just sitting there before we ordered and a decent amount of time sitting there after we ate, waiting for the check, so that knocks one star off… but overall, I’d come back!"

"This was a phenomenal restaurant located in Schenectady a little out of the way but definitely a place to try when you have a chance to. The atmosphere and the food was incredible to say the least and the friendly wait staff added to that. Everything was cooked to order and did not disappoint. We ordered the lemon pepper boneless wings as an appetizer. You could taste the fresh lemon and grated pepper in the sauce it competes with the top wing spots in Schenectady. I ended up getting just a simple black and blue burger which was cooked to medium rare perfectly. My fiance got a steak sandwich which was sliced New York strip with a homemade cheese sauce served with homemade chips. You could really tell that they cared about the food that they were making in the kitchen. Since this review I have gone back twice and have recommended it a bunch of times to family and friends."
