Smokey Bones Bbq

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[2] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Nice looking place. Service staff was at least trying.
• Food was absolutely horrible. Long wait for a table.

“The worst BBQ I ever had. We had to wait 1 hour for a terrible meal. Service was passable, not because it was good, but because they were at least trying. I will never go back. Try anywhere else.”

• Nothing!
• Everything.

“Might be the worst food I've had in years. I ordered the Turkey sandwich from the off the grill section of the menu. I got two slices of what appeared to be wonder bread, with two or three slices of deli-sliced turkey and what tasted like gravy from a jar on top. The sweet potato fries were bland as cardboard, except for the few from one area of the plate that tasted like coffee - as though someone splashed some on by accident. My husband ordered the cottage pie. What he got resembled prison fare. Unseasoned, dry ground beef under a layer of canned corn, with what tasted like instant mashed potatoes piped on top. And on top, a mountain of melted cheese that is not mentioned in the menu. And the chicken toes appetizer - thickly battered and greasy - totally tasteless.”

Pagliacci Ristorante

• New ownership across from times union quick service.
• You have old staff let them go.

“It is under new management the new name is "pearl street public house". I have to say this was a whole new place from our last years experience. The waitress explained that there still might be some changes. Our waitress was entertaining, quick and personable, even with a full dining room she managed to spend quality time with all her tables. It was quiet at first in the back then with-in minutes we were not alone. Great job new owners keep up the good work. We actually had to hang out for 40 minutes until our show started. We were greeted with-in a minute , drinks right after, then we received our meals with-in ten minutes of our order. Everyone must try out the all new restaurant across from the times union center. The nasty waitress we had last year i saw that night please get rid of her she is bad business.”

• Great for small parties.
• Not real fancy.

“I have gone there several times for company Christmas / Retirement parties. The food was always good with good portions. It is a nice cozy place with a bar in the other room. It is a nice casual restaurant, not real fancy.”

• Everything Ive tried is fantastic.

“I travel to Albany 4-6 times a month for business and always make a point to eat at Ralphs. The service is just ok but the food is worth waiting for.”
