Used to love their wings. We recently bought 30 wings from them using Grubhub. The wings came stone cold not even warm and we live 10 minutes from the place. Also their once delicious wing sauce is no gross and has no kick to it at all. Mild used to mean a tiny bit spicy. With these wings no one not even my 4 year old who hates spicy things said a word about it. I had seen a review for Spinners saying about the same thing about the wings but had hoped it was just a fluke. Now I have to find a good wing place again. These used to be the heat anywhere. Now they are gross.

We were well taken care of by pretty barmaids Kim & Kelly. They provided excellent service and no issues with our drinks! We ordered some food as well and it was very good - quesadilla and a burger. We've been there a bunch of times over the years and will continue to go.

It was fine. My family of 4 went after doing some shopping. We chose Juniors because they were close and open. It was later in the day around 8pm. Food was good. We had their Sloop juice IPA which was pretty good. They were doing trivia and everyone could play along on their phones by going to a website. We didn't play but it was still entertaining. My only complaint really was they forgot my food when they brought everyone else's so I was the only one who had nothing. It was corrected pretty quickly when I was able to stop the waitress and let her know she came out within 2 minutes with it so not sure what happened there.

Service was great, ambiance was fun, trivia was engaging... let's get to the food.My Philly cheese steak was more cheese than anything else. Unfortunately the cheese overpowered any other flavor the sandwich may have had. This lead to a very heavy meal...I also would have liked it sans the long blonde hair...The parmasean wings were dry, yet oily, which made for a texture that was undesirable. The flavor was ok at best.The pulled pork quesadilla flavor was fantastic! But once again, the percentage of cheese and subsequent oil was overwhelming, making for yet another very heavy meal.The salad, however, was very good! Candied walnuts, fresh granny Smith apples, good choice of greens and wonderful amounts of cheese! Well done!Ultimately I'd go back, but I would choose a salad or possibly a burger and see how those meals satisfy.

Friendly service, a very clean restaurant filled with Good Vibes! And even more important than those vibes, is the amazing food! The best wings I have had here in New York, and the Moonshine pork quesadillas are totally worth fighting for. Emily was a very friendly server, I will be back often.

I very much enjoyed my harvest salad with the addition of salmon. The salmon was delicious and there was enough salad for two meals. Juniors is a college town bar/restaurant and it was trivia night when we were there. There is a substantial beer selection for those who like beer.

Visiting from out of town. Found this sports bar. Very patriotic and comfortable. Ordered pizza and wings and everything was delicious. Highly recommend! Great service. The bartender made us feel like family.

Bad enough I had to pull the pages of the menu apart stuck together with some food.I love French onion soup. I hate the onions. I've ordered French onion soup from dozens of restaurants without the onions. Never has anyone tell me sorry cook says he can't do that. Really? Probably should go to culinary school and learn how to use the Callander. While waiting for the waitress to return I noticed the entire wall was covered with an extreme amount of filth. The place looked like it hasn't been cleaned since it's grand opening. These days with the current times you would think the place would be a little cleaner. Nevertheless after being there for 20 was enough for a lifetime. Hope there kitchen doesn't look like their dinning room. So game over. For the record there was absolutely nothing wrong with the service. Although I'm sure stuff like this doesn't boost moral.

So this place used to be 5 stars easily. They used to have the best fries in Albany. I’d always send out of town folks here to get the best fries.Sadly, they changed their fries about 6 months ago and now they’re just mediocre fries. Burger was overdone and lacked the Juniors quality. Has kitchen staff changed? :(
