Capital City Diner — Restaurant in Town of Guilderland

Typical (meaning amazing and fantastically delicious) Greek New York Diner. The Reuben was top notch. They had matzah ball soup and it was like eating a chicken flavored broth cloud. Might stop by just for some soup when I drive by on the way back to Massachusetts. (We did and there is an update below) Met the manager/owner and felt like old cousins meeting for the first time after years apart. Very friendly and extremely fast service. Heather was very nice, extremely helpful, quite informative on the menu and all our questions. Loved every second we were here. Great atmosphere.

Update: disappointment going back. Walked in and was seated very fast. The place was relatively empty. Maybe the server was out back having a cigarette? Sat down and waited. A lady came in right before us and got her soup. Sat and waited. Couple came in and sat down. Waited. Ten minutes later the couple near us got waters and they went to another couple that got there after us. After a good 15 minutes with seeing the hostess seat people and no one even ask us for a drink we got up and left. Manager or whoever, beard, shook my hand and apologized. I mentioned being very disappointed, especially after meeting the manager or owner the other day. We left. 30 years in the restaurant industry, and breakfast especially, very disappointed. Not wasting more time now having to wait even more time for food. Too bad Heather wasn't there today. She was awesome during a busy rush the other day. Today, the staff sucked. Whoever the guy in the mask was, pay attention to...

I recently moved into the area and decided to try a few of the local restaurants, this being one of them. I can certainly say without a doubt, this is going to be my go-to place for food if I don't want to cook or order out, or if I just want some excellent food.

I have been here twice already. Once was for dinner. (breakfast food is served all day) They do have alcohol as well. I had a bacon an sausage omelette with its sides and it was excellent. My significant other had a couple pancakes with Nutella on them and its sides. Those pancakes were HUGE! I'm not even sure I could finish them. All the food was very good.

Service here is excellent too. All the staff are accommodating and friendly. Each time we went, we had a different waitress. We didn't have a single issue with any of them, they all were great. One of our visits was on a Sunday morning. The restaurant was packed full and we had a 20-minute wait, which was told to us when we put our name in. After 20 minutes, we were seated and had our orders in. Even with the restaurant being packed full, our food came out quickly and our waitress was still able to make sure we had everything we needed.

The whole theme of the restaurant is very well done and appealing. There is plenty of parking, though on Saturday and Sunday mornings, it can get pretty full.

Overall, this is a great restaurant if you're looking for excellent food and service. Plus, you can't really beat serving breakfast food all day. I think it's the first time I've had a beer with...

YUCK! Awful food! NEVER eat here!

Waitress seemed rather rude. My dining partner ordered first, but I needed more time to decide before I placed my order and asked her to please come back later. I guess this annoyed her because she seemed a lot more impatient the second time she came over. I attempted to order a vanilla shake, but she said "the shake blender was broken". At the end of the meal, I saw the blender being used. I guess she just didn't feel like making one for me.

I ordered "blueberry pancakes". I got stiff cardboard with frozen, flavorless blueberries baked into it and one of those little cups of synthetic syrup (high fructose corn syrup). I gave it a shot. It was immediately awful, but I was so hungry and desperate I ate it all. It came with a side of "home fries," which of course meant burnt potatoes that taste like salty dishwater (No kidding! They did!). It took me ages to get the taste of corn syrup out of my mouth...

The person eating with me ordered a veggie wrap. It contained different vegetables than the menu advertised. For example, while the menu promised squash, the wrap contained a zucchini, which, yes, technically is a squash, but should have been advertised as "zucchini."

Eat here if you've got a hankering for flavorless processed...
