Dee Dee's Tavern — Restaurant in Town of Colonie

I stopped by on a business trip because the reviews are good and I'm guessing that's because everyone knows everyone. It's one of those places you walk into and realize right away you're the only one there not on a first-name basis with everyone else.

For one, this isn't really a restaurant. I mean, they do serve food, but so does the strip club. It's a bar in a tiny shack roughly the size of a walk-in closet.

There are a small assortment of beers and mediocre food portioned generously by a busy bartender and if you're wondering how close the clientele is they were offering to help her with moving and such so you know... good people.

Quality people watching if you're into that. I don't mean that in a pejorative way; I'm just saying the people are interesting.

Again, the food was okay. It's a bar. I ordered chicken so flat the poor bird had to have been an A-cup and it was served on roughly eight million French fries in case I wanted to share with everyone else at the bar, which was pretty full meaning roughly two dozen...

This place is a gem! Small friendly locals, nice bartenders and the food is really good to boot. Looking around I see many people ordering the sandwiches and soups. The beer is cold and the crowd is a mixture, but mostly older. I have visited here 2x, both during the day and I will definitely make this place my new hangout. The first day there I met a few locals and the bartender. Today I come in and they all remembered my name which says alot. I will update in...

Great service. Food was ready on time and was HOT! The french dip was one of the best I've ever had, even though they had to sub the hoagie roll for a burger bun (no complaints here whatsoever, it was DELICIOUS). My mother was pleased with her hot turkey dinner, which was quite a generous serving. Can't believe I've been missing out on this place for so long. Will be keeping in mind from here on out! Thank...
