- Rated 3.5 out of 5 (28 reviews)
- Address: 1742 Route 9 in Clifton Park
- Top review: “After loving the Eddie F’s in Saratoga, I decided to give their new location a try. Considering that, this location is just as good as the original. To lead off, Eddie F’s was offering a three course meal deal for only $25 and I would have been a fool not to take advantage of that. For my first course, I decided to get the lobster bisque and it was unequivocally delicious. The bisque was hot, creamy, smooth, succulent, and had phenomenal flavor. The bisque was so good that I wanted to run out into the street and tell the world about it. It was the greatest lobster bisque that I’ve ever had. Next, I ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese as my entree and it was very good. To decipher, the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and toothsome. The lobster was fresh and there was plenty of it in the dish. Also, the portion size was massive and I couldn’t even finish all of it. The only thing the macaroni and cheese needed was a bread crumb topping to add that nice crunch. Finally, for dessert I ordered a cannoli and it was excellent. To elaborate, the cannoli was crunchy on the outside and buttery and sweet on the inside. It was simply a great cannoli. As a final point, Eddie F’s is a tremendous seafood restaurant that delivers in all aspects.” — Hunter C.

4. Druthers Brewing Company

- Rated 3.5 out of 5 (37 reviews)
- Price: $$
- Address: 7 Southside Drive in Clifton Park
- Top review: “On a gorgeous spring Saturday we headed to Druthers by 1:30 p.m. for drinks and lunch. Yes was crowded but it’s a huge venue- we sat on the back deck that leads ‘out back’. Gorgeous flowers and shrubs, fire pits, additional seating and a covered back bar. There was a food truck available to order pub munchies beyond the outdoor bar. We enjoyed people watching and a leisurely lunch – fish & chips, buffalo chicken dip, shrimp and carnitas tacos. Double fudge cake was sinfully good. Yes it can get busy and outdoors is quieter than indoors a bit. But on a gorgeous sunny day it was perfect! Maggie was an awesome server.” — Martha L.

- Rated 5 out of 5 (6 reviews)
- Address: 602 Plank Road in Clifton Park

Pickup was fast and easy, location was very quite when we were in and we appreciated the kitchen view. Their Tom Yam was well balanced without any one flavor overwhelming. Portions are significant, and well worth the price.” — Douglas Z.

I had the chicken parm. It was the size of two meals. Filet Medallions were awesome, and the Lemon Cake was divine!” — George B.
