Country View Diner in Rensselaer County

The homefries were like mashed potatoes with fried potato skin. The pancakes looked like they were half baked, the bottom was not done. And the silverware and tea/coffee cups were dirty. Maybe we got them on an off day.

Great place for breakfast. Super friendly staff and the owners are sweethearts

Best diner ever!! Amazing carrot cake, stellar staff, affordable prices. Highly recommend this experience.

Not sure how to rate atmosphere. I see that on how it makes u feel. The servers were so friendly. The man who sat us was so rude. He made us feel we were bothering him. He should not be up front to seat people. Not a nice greeter

Not much favor besides salt. Meal came moments after salad. Way too quick.

The waitress was great . The food was awful. I had a steak and it was so dry . I asked for med and i could barely eat it . The two people I was with they had pork chops and they couldn’t eat it . It was tough. I asked for one of the waitress and the guy like gave us a attude. My friend said that the owner did that to them when they asked for her when they went there and gave them someone else. Then the beans were hard as a rock. Then I over heard them talking about my waitress. Then when I went to pay for my bill I said I am paying Apple Pay and he gave me a bad attitude. I been going for years and it has gotten worst . I have witness that when u leave a cash tip for the waitress u see sometimes the owner or the bus boy takes the money . It’s bad . It USED to be my favorite but not no more. I do want to thank my waitress very much for maken us very comfortable when our food was bad .

The food was really delicious all but the home fries the home fries were just served as a large potato in the inside for undercooked just not making the potatoes small enough when he cook them. Everything else was delicious the weight stuff was amazing love the atmosphere and the music. Ive been trying to show my boyfriend whos from out of town all of my favorite spots and he was not disappointed. Hopefully the potatoes improve but I highly recommend!

On our road trip to Vermont we stumbled in to this little gem. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the staff and walket to our seats. Their menu is so big that I had trouble deciding what to eat. Poetio s are huge and prices are very reasonable. We also had the cheesecake that is. Aked in house along with all the other desserts.Also the staff went out of their way to make os feel at home. Next time we are up on this area we will make sure we stop again.

Recently discovered this place and it is one of my favorite local diners. The atmosphere is great and the service is amazing. You get a large amount of good food for an extremely reasonable and cheap price. The menu also has plenty of selections. Definitely recommend.

Great diner! Good food at good prices! Excellent service, my waitress Allison was so attentive and friendly!

Home fries are just cooked potatoes not home fries but other than that food is great

Food is good but service was not. Asked for check when food was delivered as we had somewhere to be. We were still waiting long after everyone finished eating. Granted we were a party of around 10 but still unacceptable.

Very fresh and delicious 😋 Love the western omelet and French toast

Got the fish lunch today and the fish was very over cooked very dry. Cocktail sauce was very lumpy and my soda Dr.Pepper didn’t have any syrup from the soda machine it tasted like water. Best part of my lunch was the Dessert strawberry short cake was very good moist and not too sweet. And the waitress was pregnant so she was doing her best too keep up with everything so shout out too her! great customer service quick and responsive.

The Eggs Florentine were so delicious - best Ive had! Such a nice waitress too! Companion had a plain egg white omelette with well done potatoes and toast - done right the first time. Waitress made sure the correct level of "burn" was placed on toast and potatoes before delivering to our table. Great experience!

Really slow service, food was no where near as good as it was on our last visit

Stopped in for breakfast and everything was great! Returning tomorrow while in area to get a well recommended turkey club sandwich made with real homemade turkey at a good price!👍

The dinners we ordered were very good. The clam chowder was excellent. Our waitress Allison was excellent, she was very detailed in answering any questions we had about items on the menu. Looking forward to going back.

IM SORRY I NEVER DO THIS BUT WOOOOW!!! THE WORST FOOD I HAD MY OMELETTE LITERALLY TASTE LIKE WATER THESE PEOPLE DONT USE SEASON AT ALL!!!! IDK HOW ITS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A FREAKING OMELETTE THAT TASTED LIKE WATER WITH EVERY BITE. NEVER AGAIN. PLEASE USE SEASONING ON YOUR FOOD THIS IS NOT OKAY. Get real help

Service was excellent, place was clean, food was not great this time around. Soggy fries, watery pasta sauce and the chicken had a weird smell.

Wonderful little place! Clean and bright. The French toast was made with an inch-thick slab of in-house made Challah bread. Bacon was crispy but not burned. Asked for eggs over medium and they were cooked perfectly! Priced very reasonably. Will definitely stop in again if in this area again!

Great food and great service. We ate here in 2020 on a motorcycle trip and made sure we stopped again since we were on the same road.

A good variety of food with a few Greek dishes. Prices are better than than other diners in the area. All the waitresses are friendly and good at what they do. If you leave there hungry, thats your fault. Will be going back

Excellent food and service. Im sad I live too far away to be a regular patron.

Best place ever everyone is nice and food is good if I could give them 100 star I would so I am going to put it 100 stars hope to see y’all again very soon

The food and service was great. The waitress, Darlene, took good care of us. Very friendly, sociable and helpful. I would very much eat there again. If we lived in the area would make it a regular place to eat. Wide variety to choose from on the menu. Us they played great background music. Very reasonably priced compared to other places weve eaten at.

My new go to spot! Everything is good from breakfast to dinner. Make sure you try one of their homemade deserts!

Stopped on our way through. Had a great lunch. Portions are big. Wait staff was friendly.

Me my wife and my daughter were traveling home from Vermont back to Pennsylvania and we were hungry passing through Troy New York and stopped in the Country View Diner and had a great food Great waitress and great staff. I left my Cell phone in the restaurant and the staff made sure I left with it grew experience for me and my family thank you.

Let me make it simple, do not eat here! Save yourself the money and the trouble! I went for breakfast, and they gave me butter packets that had clearly already been on someone elses plate-the packets had jelly remnants all over them. The home fries that came with my meal were cold when they were served. They had 1 bottle of ketchup for my section of the restaurant! The waitress took it from another table to give it to us, and she took it from us (without askingbefore we were done with it to give it to another table! She was very unfriendly and not professional. This place is just scary! DO NOT EAT HERE, save yourself the time and the trouble! I would never set foot in this place again! I was nice, I paid my bill and left a tip; but, I wouldnt go back there if I was at risk of starving. What kind of place gives you sticky butter packets that have clearly already been on another plate, without at least wiping them if youre going to re-use them? They shouldnt even be re-used, but... Also, 1 ketchup bottle for the entire section, so you need to take and pass it from table to table? The owner must be really cheap! The place was just not clean and borderline unsanitary. I wouldnt eat there. If you choose to eat there, good luck! I just considered my money lost and moved on! You will not get anything close for what you pay! We only went there because other places wound up unexpectedly closed; and, as I said, I would NEVER go there again! Good luck if you do! It was disgusting!

amazing food, excellent service, the new waitress Mel(?is very pretty and very sweet!

We went here with our inlaws this week for lunch. Before I say anything let me mention I actually do love going to diners. Its such a cool part of Americana. I dont expect it to be amazing nor do I think it should compare to fine dining. I get it.However this place...omg...horrible. It looks cute inside like any country diner would. Im good with that. But the food was pretty bad.The menu on the placemats we were told is not the menu. ok. So we were given another paper, which is the real menu (because this we are told has listed what they do currently offer the other doesnt. Again ok, I can roll with that.Now, 2 of us dont eat meat or dairy so we actually chose this place because they have veggie burgers on the menu. (I checked before coming and besides all diners have a veggie burger.Weve been to many in the Capital District and out of state too.Well... after ordering the waitress comes back and says they dont have veggie burgers and she doesnt know why. Ughh...Im a trooper, so even though Im disappointed because we only came here specifically for that...I take one for the team and decide to just get the blueberry pancakes. In fact we all order them. Should be fine right...Its pretty standard. Add some home fries and were good.Um...NO!What came was plain pancakes. No blueberries in them to be found. Im thinking its just a mistake. Nope, next arrives a separate dish with some truely tasteless thick blueberry pie filling from. a can. Yes, I know its from a can because my grandmother used to use this exact same stuff in her pies that no one ate. W e all thought it was just awful. Even the pancakes were dry and bland. Thats honestly the first time Ive ever not finished pancakes...ever. I ate one myself and all 4 of us left our plates unfinished.I just need to add that the waitress was...well she was her. Not nice, not mean, didnt care much about anything really. I say this because I am in customer service in my own business. My family also owned a restaurant as well. I personally treat my customers as does my family very well. Its not hard to do. She would never work in my business nor the restaurant after seeing her demeanor. She is burnt out and should retire. Im not saying this to be mean, she is hurting an already struggling business.Truth be told I am local. I hear so many bad things about the diner but I didnt believe it. I wanted to give them a chance to ...I wanted it to be at least reasonably good. But instead it was unfortunatly so bad that none of us would ever go back. Thats really sad. It wont be hard to correct whats wrong.Lastly...the bathrooms... holy...really gross. Come on, thats important.Sorry this is a bad review. I hope he owner takes heed because it could be a nice place if they cared to up their game just a little.I

Wicked good service. Had a perfect, crispy Belgian waffle with vanilla ice cream. Will visit again for lunch in the future.

The furniture was well kept and cozy. The waiting staff were attentive but just a bit slow at refilling, but it was busy as it should be on a Sunday morning. The food was good and the portions were perfect. Id also like to add the prices for everything on the menu make it a perfect place for college students to have a nice diner experience without hurting their wallet. Overall, great experience and Ill be coming again to try their dinner food sometime.

I wasnt really impressed with the food. The prices are fair, the staff was friendly. My food came out really fast, but I didnt like the taste of multiple items ordered. I would try another place when in the area again.

The cups are very very dirty. Food was below par and we will not be returning. Staff was friendly but the overall experience for the price was a zero star. Stay away.

I was not happy about my meal here. I ordered waffles with bacon. There wasnt any flavor in my waffles and the syrup wasnt even real. 😲 Did not enjoy their water down maple syrup. The food came quickly but it was cold.

I have been here a few times now, and the food and the staff have always been outstanding. They accommodated our large group for a work meeting with no problem and excellent service.The pastries made on site are also a big plus, dont miss the eclairs or the house made soups!

My family and I have been craving diner food with the true diner experience. We got that and much more! The service was amazing, from the young man who sat us down, to our waitress. Polite doesnt describe them well enough! She was talking, attentive, and on point with everything. The food was delicious! There is nothing like a burger from a diner! I cant wait to go back! Breakfast is next!

Excellent dinner. Homemade stuffing with the roast turkey dinner was great and the meal was a very good sized portion. Stewed green beans were surprisingly good too! The homemade blue cheese dressing was just wow! So good! Wait staff was attentive and friendly with the just right balance as to be welcome but not over doing it. Well make this a regular stop on our way through the area regularly. Next time Ill try the homemade eclairs but I was too full this time.

Went to this diner on our way to a college visit, very nice and welcoming staff, quick service, great clean tidy atmosphere with a lot of effort for holiday decorations. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. I would recommend this diner to anyone.

My husband and I popped in to this diner yesterday after a long drive back from Vermont. My husband had veggie omelette which he said was good. I ordered a pastrami sandwich special on rye! I know I’m not in Brooklyn but that bread is not rye and the one slice of preheated awful pastrami is not it either. Don’t put it as a special if you can’t do it right and don’t give people one slice of pastrami! My husband said the bathroom was filthy!!! Never will go back!

My husband and I stopped at Country View Diner for breakfast after a quick trip to New Hampshire.We found an empty table and our server greeted us very quickly. She brought coffee right away and was very friendly and efficient.Our food was delicious and served promptly. Even though it was very busy, we didnt feel rushed or crowded. Everything was very clean. We would definitely go back!

After a long day of driving, and a hard boiled egg for breakfast, I felt like a hearty lunch/dinner. Great chicken salad club sandwich on rye toast, coleslaw (the yummy kind), and delicious super crispy fries. How can I go wrong, and I didnt at Country View Diner on Route 7 in Troy, NY. Stop by, they have amazing dinner specials. Right across from Tractor Supply. Enjoy!

First time at the country view dinner. Good service and food. Would eat there again.

Had a wonderful meal and awesome server, not sure but we think her name is Kayla?

11/26/19: We stopped in for lunch on the way south. Nice place, friendly staff. Good food. Free WiFi. Tapioca pudding-small pearl & slightly over cooked :( still tasted good. The GF had the grilled chicken- it was really good!I had the Turkey wrap, it was ok but no need to get again, will try something else next time! Thanks -

The service was really good. The Northern Bean soup waa real good. I had the Lemon and pepper chicken. Chicken breast pounded flat and pan fries. It was lemony but very dry. Mom had the taco salad and said it was good.

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I have to avoid bread and she helped me get a fish sandwich without the bread. My honey loved the Philly cheese steak wrap she recommended.
