We went here after my sister graduated from UAlbany in late May. I was literally as big as a house - it was a week before my due date with my daughter. Thankfully, the place wasn't too loud and there weren't too many parties there, just a couple large groups who also had a UAlbany grad in their party.
The food was decent for the most part - most of it wasn't out of this world. But notice I said most.... their sweet potato fries with marshmellow dipping sauce was out of this world. It was amazing - the whole table was in love with it. Also, the mozzarella squares with melba sauce was quite tasty.
Unfortunately, our service was pretty bad and special requests around the table (e.g, no tomatoes on a sandwich, extra mayo) were ignored. That was unfortunate because we ended up eating a lot longer than we intended.
The game room is pretty small and would most likely not entertain a child older than 10 for very long. I had a great time on the classics, like the basketball shooting game and skee-ball. Can't believe the Big Bertha game is digital now! (It's not the same to throw balls at a fat lady on the screen). This would be a great place for a young child's birthday party - there was actually one setting up when we were there. A nice, respectable space to enjoy with your child.
I didn't sit in the bar area but it looked really spacious and interesting, cosidering how many beers they have on tap.
All in all, this place is pretty cool. I honestly wish we had this down by where I live (southern Dutchess county). I would definitely go there again the next time I am up there.
I've been to Wolf's a few times now, usually just for a drink or appetizers with some friends. Â Conveniently located on Wolf Road, Wolf's is a nice establishment that has a dining area, bar, outdoor seating area and even rooms for private functions as well as a game room.
Now I haven't checked out the game room, but I can vouch that Wolf's has an extensive line of beer taps with some tasty beers, plenty of TVs so you can watch your favorite sports teams and some good food as well. Â I'll recommend the buffalo dip, which is spicy and goes well with a nice, cold beer. Â Bar service was good, but it did take a little while for our server to get our food ordered.
Wolf's also hosts a number of special events, such as New York Wednesdays, where they will feature craft beers brewed right here in the Empire State, as well as beer tasting seminars.
In any respect, if you're looking for a nice place to kick back with friends, Wolf's 1-11 is a place to go.
We were in the neighborhood of Wolf's 1-11 today and it felt like it should be an Ubu Sunday so they won out over the other places being considered.
Short version:
Pint's of Lake Placid Ubu ($6/ 16 oz.).
Pilgrim Panini ($10.99) - oven roasted turkey, smoked gouda, stuffing, and a side of cranberry mayonnaise. Â I substituted Sweet Potato Wedges tossed with cinnamon for an additional $1.99. Â The panini was very good, strong sage flavor in the dressing, but that was ok with me. Â The cranberry mayo probably should have been put on the panini to add a bit more moisture, but I used the Ubu for that purpose and dipped the sweet potato wedges in the cranberry mayo. Â That was really tasty!
The "signature" Wolf Burger ($7.99) - 1/2 pound of beef served with lettuce, tomato, (hold the onion), pickle and substituted the Sweet Potato Wedges here also ($1.99). Â The beef was just ok, asked for medium-rare and about 1/4 of it was. Â Lettuce was much too wilted to have been served, especially open-face on the roll.
Our server, Tiffany, was friendly, upbeat, and pleasant.
