Service was great and the drinks were good. Great place for a group. Not a great place for vegans but the potato products - chips, fries, etc. were fantastic. Portions are incredibly filling.

This is one of my absolute favorite places to both dine and enjoy cocktails with friends. The food and drinks are both top notch. The service is second to none. I believe I have tried close to everything on the menu - I'm excited they just released a new menu - more to try! You can tell the quality ingredients used and the time and effort put into each dish and cocktail. The staff and management are always friendly and on top of everything. Even when they get busy. I have had multiple large party dinners here and never a complaint. All happy patrons! Definitely a hidden gem but oh so worth it! Can't wait to go again!

My first thought walking into this establishment was this place had good vibes, dining room was very nice, music playing was super good. Waitress came to us immediately and we ordered some ice teas that were very good. She was very mindful and very demure not like other waitresses we encounter at other establishments. I order the Casanova sandwich with sweet potato's fries that OMG were so good and favorable. The portion was pretty big I only ate half and took rest home and I'm so glad I did be because I was devoring my food as I type this review. We also order the buffalo lemon pepper wings and baby these wing were superb, literally best wings I have ever had. I really wished I order my own vs sharing with my daughter and hubby but sharing is caring. The wing sauce was so favorable and juicy perfect and cooked with perfection.I wish I ordered some to go. I am definetly coming back to try some other things on menu as well getting some wings!

Delicious food served quickly with friendly service. Strongly recommend. If you're in Albany for business, take the very brief trip across the Hudson to experience this place. If you live in the Capital Region and love burgers, chicken sandwiches, and wings you need to make this a destination. The parking lot still needs some perking up, but it is no indicator of the cool space and experience waiting inside. The staff is pleasant and highly attentive from the top down. Everything on the menu is $20 or less, and all winners. Two thumbs up from this chef.

The food at Illusive is always insanely good. From their burgers to their salads (Greek stacked is awesome), we always love everything we get and the portions are also really good for the pricing. They also have the best wings that I have had in Albany - they are crispy and perfectly cooked - and we love their house sauce. Pro tip: if you want good takeout, they pack all of their food really well so it shows up perfectly!

You would never know this spot is tucked back in this area, but thankfully word of mouth had us and others coming here! Everyone who recommend it to us suggested getting a burger and that was an excellent choice. My husband and I split the Mick Jigga and Empire Smash burgers. Both absolutely delicious. They come with chips, but we upgraded to Cajun fries and these are worth the extra price. The flavor and crispness are perfect and I could make a whole meal of these fries! Service was excellent and our cocktails were great, though a little pricier than I expected. They also have a good rotating beer tap list worth checking out while visiting.

As hard as it is to gauge what is served here (because the menu is only available when you can order takeout), this place is pretty good. Pretty cheap drinks here and food in general. The staff is pretty hands-off, but nice. Jacked Up Tots - These were definitely solid. Plenty of fixings and good for sharing, these tots were an awesome starter. Spinach Artichoke Dip - This was good as well. Quite a rich dish, this is pretty much exactly as you would imagine -- any other spinach artichoke dish but done well. Plenty of cheese with a good number of pita chips for dipping. Bachelor's Smash - Never had plantains in a burger, but they worked well here. Other than that, the actual burgers were good -- juicy with a slight coal taste. We asked for the sidewinder fries -- they're like curly steak fries. These weren't exactly as I imagined -- a little blander than expected. They were crisp, but there was just too much potato to them... which is why I'm not big on steak fries.
