We there for the first time today for lunch with a good friend of mine. We arrived around 11:45 and were seated immediately, waitress provided our drinks as ordered and I stared at the daily special menu which I included. The first thing I noticed was the prices were very reasonable. I finally decided on the Sweet and Sour Chicken which came with soup and desert and my friend ordered the Shrimp Scampi over Rice. A soup was included so I ordered the Chicken Noodle soup and was pleasantly surprised. It was evident that the soup was home made and very tasty. The Sweet and Sour Chicken over Rice was home made also, very good. Desert was Jello with whipped cream.
Service was excellent, even though the waitstaff appeared to be extremely busy. Over all its well worth the trip!

On a follow up visit a few days later with my granddaughter, we had Chicken Michael and the Seafood Stuffed Haddock. Both were delicious & for desert Rice Pudding. The pudding was homemade.

Food was fantastic. Fresh cheese curds. French fries are cooked in clean oil (I can tell)Soup tastes like homemade. Good service

Not very competent staff. Order a omelette to go and completely ruined the order. Went back to have it corrected and its like they just picked out the wrong to toppings and put the correct ones in a threw it in the microwave. When questions the gentleman just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. This diner has forever lost my business.

This is a diner not the Taj Mahal. The BEST Schenectady has to offer. The food is always hot, tasty, and fresh, the portions are over the top, soups are homemade great, and deserts are fine. Prices are reasonable and the place is always jam packed. We love this place and go there often!

My niece and I popped into town to see the Van Gough Immersion exhibition in Schenectady and after reviewing the choices on Yelp for dinner, we agreed to this.

Although the website did advertise a "limited Gluten Free menu" when I asked our waitperson, she was not aware of this option outside of salads.

I ordered the bowl of Chili and my niece ordered the Bellevue Cafe Burger w/fries. Both were very tasty however, the CHili was a little on the greasy side, but very flavorful.

Hostess and servers were friendly and prompt. Would def recommend if you are looking for a local place with good atmosphere.

Hometown food, friendly and competent service. What a welcome change from the rest stop fast food that makes interstate travel so tiresome! A truly local experience with plenty of small-town ambiance.

This is the best secret in Schenectady. Food is very tasty. Service is fast and polite. The ambiance is basic but clean and friendly.

Went here for a late breakfast today, based on a rec. from a local. Let's start with positives: the coffee was served immediately and replenished regularly. The 3 teen boys also got all the chocolate milf they wished for. The food was served quickly. The negatives: The waitress was beyond rude/short tempered/no people skills, right from the start, literally no people skills whatsoever. We are 3 moms, all super polite, with 3 teen boys, also all super polite. We were easy customers, and we were at the end of breakfast rush. No reason for bad behavior from multiple staff. The egg omelet was literally tasteless, w/ sliced American cheese slapped on top, not melted...ick. I would try another place, seemed like plenty of restaurants in the area when we drove there.

We ate here a few times for lunch. A cozy diner, friendly service and a unpretentious menu.
Today we ordered homemade lentil soup and chicken salad atop a basic small side salad.
The soup came out hot and very tasty. The bread basket with crackers and plastic wrapped slices of white bread.
My chicken salad was very bland and unseasoned and I didn't bother to finish it
We had breakfast here before and it was good.
I had decaf coffee and it was more expensive than regular coffee , 5 cents more, which I never saw on a menu before didn't check the bill so I don't know if that was a typo.
Otherwise menu prices reasonable, food plated nicely and food came out hot. Daily specials too.
It's a basic diner, perhaps a nice place to stop when in the area but we prefer other diners to this one.
