Reuben! Reuben! Reuben! I finally just brought my own GF bread. The brand of GF is a different story. I put the Reuben on my own bread and enjoyed every bite. You cannot go here and pass on the Tavern Fries. GET THEM!!!
A favorite stop in Malta. Always a great beer selection and tasty comfort food in a charming tavern. Excellent server but grumpy hostess lost them a 5th star.
I was there celebrating free birthday wings with the celebrant and some friends. Food was good and service pleasant.
Food is good most of the time. Mac and cheese band.. needs more spice. Okay with buffalo chicken.
The bartender was great, the drinks were good along with our appetizer, nachos with chicken. If your in this area definitely stop and check it out!
Ive never really been pleased here for anything other than drinks, yet I keep going back out of convenience. I will say, the bar staff seem friendly enough, if not always well-trained on drinks (didnt realize a vodka martini was so complicated). Best to get beer, only, and maybe some wings to eat in house. Their menu never really came back from its pre-COVID selection. I prefer going to their sister bar down the road, the Mill at Round Lake. Talk about a completely different experience (including take-out).
My sister and I had a hard time finding anyplace open in Malta on Sunday afternoon until we found Bentleys. Service was great and ambiance was nice. My sister got a Reuben with fries and I got a burger and fries, which was cooked perfectly.
Went here for my birthday, and Bentleys did not disappoint! Great food and drinks for the money, and the atmosphere was good too.
Great food great service, very friendly staff.
Their wings are absolutely delicious. So is everything else! New favorite place for lunch!
Went for my moms birthday around 7pm, it was the second time for me here. Very nice and attentive servers. Wings were great too. The pear drink on the specialty cocktail menu was really good, got it on the servers recommendation that it was perfect for a hot day or night. Of course I wanted dessert, so I ordered the brownie sundae. The brownie was definitely a bit dry but when smothering it in ice cream it wasnt noticeable.
I love the food. Every time. Large portions. Best sweet potato fries.
Wonderful service and staff. The food was equally as good. Definitely recommend!!!
Good wings and sauces. Great birthday deal, 1 wing for each year old you are. Caprese salad was excelent! Yummy desserts too!
Love the Bday wings! Great atmosphere and service!
Always great service, atmosphereand food. Was celebrating a bday.
Its a nice place but the prices are way too high. 2 burgers and fries with 2 Cokes....$38 before tip! Nothing special either. Small burger and small portion of fries (which are some sort of seasoned fries I guess...didnt really know what to call them). Asked for medium well burger because I dont really like to see any pink inside ground beef and it came out cooked well in the inside, but the outside was all charred. Tasted awful. Wings are also incredibly expensive as I had these last time. They average wings at above average prices. I will come back because we do like the bar and the people....Ill just stick to the over priced drinks and skip the over priced food. Also....the menu is rather unimaginative.
Dinner with a great drink variety, I had Buffalo chicken salad and it was on point. Good atmosphere
Food was ok same with service. Nothing over the top. Decent selection of on draft beer.
Live just up Rte. 9 a ways. Met my pal for lunch. Had a very large tossed salad, 10 chicken wings and an Arnold Palmer. $30 + tip. Food was good, service as well but a little too rich for my blood. Id go again but will be careful of what I order.
Good food, great atmosphere. Pub style food, burgers, sandwiches and duch. Little pricey.
Very disappointed. I was craving wings and thought this was the best place to go... they were horrible. I asked for extra crispy. They came out just cooked. YUCK... so I mentioned it to the waiter. He put in another order of extra crispy. I figured they would come out over cooked. I was wrong... they came out cooked exactly the same as the first order. They took them off the bill.. I didnt complain about the nachos or tater tots but if Im being honest the only thing that was good was the beer....so for $40 it was a very disappointing visit. Not going back anytime soon...and this was always a great place for wings. .
Very good food. Reasonable prices, friendly staff
Up scale tavern. Nice enough to take your family. Friendly and attentive staff. About a dozen beers on tap; about 3-4 are microbrews.
Bentleys is known for their wings, so I picked there for my Fathers Day dinner.So disappointing. We had a server who doesnt write down the orders, which is fine if they remember everything. I ordered chicken wings- extra hot and extra saucy.What came for me was boneless wings with little sauce. I was hungry so I accepted the plate thinking theyd be fine. My mistake. They were rubbery, and had almost no sauce. What was there tasted good but was medium at best. I asked for more sauce and was given a cup of Franks which was not the same as what was on the tenders. While the rest of the family enjoyed their stuff it was my night, and my meal was a trainwreck, so this review is based solely on that.
👍
Customary stop for lunch after closing up or opening my parents camp. Great food.
Wings were good, need to add hot like( jet fuel, red alert, and Afterburner).
The wings were ice cold. Fully cooked, but ice cold which leads me to believe they cook them ahead of time and refrigerate them for who knows how long and clearly dont reheat them well. Our server said she would notify the manager but a manager never visited our table so who knows what that even means. I have been visiting this trio of restaurants for a decade or longer but I Will NOT go back to Bentlys thats for sure.
The food was great! I would rate a 5 star but we sat at the bar for a while with no acknowledgement before we politely asked for drinks and menus. We got the drinks but no menus. We had to ask again for menus. Im OK if people are busy but just communicate and notice that your customers are sitting at the bar.
Expensive - $42 for lunch for 2 - burger & chicken sandwich and 2 sodas. Limited menu. Youre supporting a local business which is good. Burger was a little disappointing - cooked way more than the medium I ordered and tasted like a frozen burger (too perfectly formed to be fresh). Chicken sandwich looked better. Tots and fries were crispy.
Excellent food, service and friendly people. A welcoming watering hole.
Nice local pub, with friendly staff. Food is actually pretty decent for bar environment. We are always treated with respect when we go in.
Got the free birthday wings which was awesome! Great sports atmosphere, lots of TVs. Service was a little lacking, my drink was empty the the whole time. But to be fair I was just chugging it after a day in the sun and then eating their hottest wings. Will definitely be back. Im sure they will get that last star.
Bentleys is a great local place for food and drinks. The birthday wings deal is the best. Great place for football. We go all the the time.
Average food at above average prices. It was very expensive for the food and quality of the food, especially the appetizers. Example is the $15 handfull of fries with not much cheese and maybe 2 tablespoons of bacon bits in them.
Ordered dinner tonight. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich. When it was delivered I received a burger. Not happy. It was very soggy and obviously a store bought burger. I would expect better for $14. We also ordered the pretzel bites... little to no salt, and there were only four of them. For $12 that’s nothing but a ripoff. Very upset
We went to Bentleys to celebrate a 65 bday. Great wings both bone in and regular. Waitress was really nice but we lost her somewhere. Apparently she left and we kept waiting. There was no one who came to tell us or even another waitress untill I got up to ask . We were all a little surprised . It would have been nice if someone had come to tellus uss her shift ended
We had an outstanding waitress! Food was delicious. Spaced well so we werent on top of other diners.
The food was great, found the restaurant by chance. They need better signage . The waitress was very warm and friendly. Love the bar area
They were busy, but we were seated right away. We were there celebrating our son-in-laws birthday, to enjoy the 41 free wings. The wings were a little slow in coming, but were delicious - nicely covered in the various sauces and crispy-skinned underneath. Our waitress was very nice and checked back with frequently to make sure our needs were met. Highly recommended, especially on your birthday.
Josh and everyone working for Bentleys went above and beyond to make the experience of having dinner out out amazing. The hostess was beyond considerate and calm and very professional as well as the entire staff . If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Also the food was outstanding.
Very busy sports-type tavern. Wait staff is nice. Food is good. They have a special on wings for birthdays number how old you are. They only give you as many as your party can eat at a time. Say if you are sixty and you bring another person they wont give you 60 wings all at once and you cant bring any home. The birthday person gets a complementary drink also. We had 9 in our party. One was 50 and the other 30. The wings were free but several of us also ordered from the menu. The bill was $144 and be careful because the tip is already added in at 18%.
Food was pretty good. Service could have been better. Never got one if my appetizers I ordered, food came out too close together
We had placed a online order tonight. They had accidentally forgot one of the items in our order. The manager on duty was very polite apologetic and rectified the matter immediately. Also I want to mention the food was phenomenal!
Other than the perfectly poured Guinness, cannot recommend. Wings ordered crispy were rubbery, and Caesar salad was drowned in dressing. Tavern fries saved the stop. Sorry, Bentleys.
Large facility, good food and service...
It was fun! We went for a birthday free wing event and everything was delicious! The flavors were unique yet not over done. We had plenty of space and our waitor was amazing. He had our refills before we were done with our first drink. All of the staff was really nice just an all around good environment
Came here for quick bite. Ordered burger and wrap. Food was good. Waitress was less than friendly. She acted bothered to be waiting on us which was a turn off. I asked for more ketchup for the burger and dressing for my side salad and they charged me .50 for condiment. I find that very annoying to be nickel and dimed like that.Not sure when wait staff got so “uppity” that the customer is bothering them when ordering. Felt rushed when she took my order and not sure I will be back. As a business owner I know if my staff acted this way I would want to know!!
Great place to grab a quick drink or a good meal.
Sat at the bar for about 15 minutes before anyone asked if we would like a drink, waited another 15 for someone to ask if we wanted a menu (during the pandemic we have to order food) sat with menus in front of us for 20 minutes while severs kept walking past. Still no one at the bar asking what we would like to order. At the 50 minute mark of no one taking our order we ask for check, get up charged with a Sargento snack pack, as the server says “because Cuomo” no buddy that’s your fault. We went from potentially spending $60+ to $20 because not a single server asked to take out order. If bars and restaurants are seating at half capacity and they are fully staffed one would think getting decent, not even good service would be easy to find. Off to the public house for wings!
The service was very nice and attentive😁 My son had a burger, and it was cooked to order. My only criticism is that I ordered nachos and the chips were stale. When I brought it up, the manager came to tell me I was wrong and the chips were fine. I told her the chips were stale again. I tried to stomach them, but they were all chewy, like stale chips get. So, the manager then said they make them every day, questioning whether I was telling the truth. That wasnt necessary, IMO. I was only trying to help them because I used to like Bentleys. But if they want to serve stale chips and deny a customer complaint, then thats on them. Id rather not have a negative emotional relationship with a restaurant, which is what the manager made it when I brought up the quality of the food. Perhaps next time, dont call your customers liars, especially over chips.
Expensive for average food. Delivery. Salad and sandwiches for 3. $90.
Food okay, typical pub fare. Service was slow and poor. We repeatedly had to flag down waitresses, other than our own, to get what we needed - even to place our order. The place was busy, but not overly so, and there was plenty of staff. A couple waitresses seemed to be doing all the work.
Everything was very clean and the waitresses were attentive. I would give 5 stars except I ordered a pulled pork quesadilla and received tacos instead. I didnt say anything about the mix-up due to the tacos were very good and didnt want to be a hassle. Decent selection of draft beers as well.
Good dinnergood cocktailsgood service
Love this place. It is rare that Carolina Panthers football is on regular TV. We go here to get a bite and watch the Panthers on one if their big screens. Food is always fresh and reasonably priced. Service is always good too. Im partial to the pulled pork nachos paired with a draft beer. Add the jalapeno peppers for $1. Never had a bad visit.
Ordered mozzarella sticks, bbq pulled pork nachos and a rueben with extra everything ...The only thing with any amount of flavor to it was the mozzarella sticks and that’s because it had melba dipping sauce. Extremely disappointed, neither my boyfriend or I could finish our meals (we ordered to go). I was just hoping for so much more and was extremely let down that literally nothing had flavor except for the melba sauce.
Excellent service and lunch (pulled pork tacos) was awesome.
Excellent food! You have to try their stoner wings to get the full experience. Even on busy nights your food is served quickly but is made well. Nice outdoor seating for when the weather allows for it. Great atmosphere and service.
Had burger and it was really good. They had rotating beers and got to try fiddlehead ipa. Was great beer.
Awesome tavern, friendly staff, and lots of safety precautions for covid. They also have a nice menu for kids. I’ve been twice and the restaurant is clean each time. Highly recommended.
Always a busy place. I had a salad with chicken on it which was good. My husband had the burger which he said was very good.
The only bar in town where 5 tall double vodka sodas leaves you mildy buzzed and $75 dollars poorer. Great chicken wings, but mixed drinks leave much to be desired
Great food, fast service
Took my son for his 21st birthday.Ended up paying $65.10 for 2 beers, 20 wings, and a coke.Dont do the birthday deal unless youre really old...a few free wings arent worth itThe only one who makes out is the server with the mandatory 18% gratuity on the bill. *all politely explained before hand. #Sticker shock
LOVE going here to celebrate birthdays !! Staff is ALWAYS friendly and food is ALWAYS yummy !!!
Some of the greatest wings in the area!! The decor is so cozy and drinks are amazing. Pretzels and cheese are also to die for. Perfect place to sit at the bar for an app and a drink, or for a casual but delicious dinner or lunch. Also the birthday deal is amazing!!
I visited here for wings takeout. For 20 Wings, they couldn’t give me 2 flavors due to restaurant policy. So I had to play 2 separate orders of 10 Wings. Garlic Parmesan flavor was very bland. Buffalo mild was good. Ambience was good for a family outing or even watching sports. Overall, I’ll give 3 stars for good ambience, average food and no flexibility with wings takeout.
Great wings! Went there for my 40th birthday and got 40 FREE wings and a free beer refill! Wouldve been a 5 star if my wife got her meal when the rest of us did. Somebody dropped the ball. Overall, good place for wings and beer! Reasonably priced too.
Lunch and Dinner. Great time and his food. Service was excellent. Will definitely return!
The food was great and I highly recommend the Asian wings. The restaurant has an old fashioned pub feel and reminded me a bit of the Cheers bar on TV. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a patio to sit on during the warmer months. Great place.
We ate lunch around noon on Sunday. The waitress was nice and the outdoor patio was cool. The wings were ok but not spicy even though we ordered hot. Everything else was awful. They fry something sweet in their oil so their mozzarella sticks and French fries taste sweet. The drinks are way over priced and weak. Ordered the Bentley’s Burger and it came out with zero of the stated toppings. The toppings had then been crudely slapped on top so the construction was all off, it was a mess. Ordered it medium rare and it came out well especially since it had to sit while the toppings were dealt with after the fact. Ordered the Build Your Own Chicken Sandwich. The sautéed onions were greasy and the raw onions were so gigantic they had to be ripped apart at the table to be edible. They up charge for condiments like they’re a fast food chain and their food was no better than a chain.
The worst bartenders ever! We went in tonight and first off we waited for over an over for our table so we sat at the bar. We are new to malta and this was our second time there, The bartenders are the most grumpiest I’ve ever seen during our both visits. We weren’t even impressed with the drinks! My husband ordered a Vodka martini and it was not even shaken (who doesn’t shake a martini!? Or chill a glass?) . Only plus side is our dark haired waitress was extremely friendly and even offered to turn on the fireplace when we mentioned we were cold. this was our first time dining in, next time we WILL NOT sit at the bar. we had a long week at work, the last we want is to order drinks with a bar full of miserable bartenders that can’t even greet us.
Went here for Birthday wings.... always have! First... lets talk about the main reason. The STAFF. The staff is always welcoming and they go out of their way to make it comfortable. Sure, it can be busy but they are always accommodating... plus You can always you the website to reserve a table....Now for the FOOD!! Deeeeelllicious. My favorite flavor is 24Karat (pictured) ... no not the song by Bruno Mars. Now granted the other flavors rock as well and there is a plethora to choose from. You cant go wrong on whatever taste you have!!Go celebrate and have a good time....its worth every bite!!P.S. Dont forget the brownie sundae for dessert!!! Mmmmmmmm.
No silverware on the table had to ask 2 people, food was gross, high chair did not have a belt to fasten child he stood up to eat, very cold was by the window. Waitress did not come back to see if we needed drinks filled. We will never go back there very disappointed and costly for what we ordered.
While traveling through New York, we stopped in Malta for the night. We went to Bentleys, and was very pleased with the entire experience, including great bar staff, and the food included!!
Service ok, Mac n cheese has too much butter. The burger, although better than mcdonalds was still just a frozen patty. French fries were like warm at best. Could have done way better for $31.50 + tip. Included one soda with loads of ice and one water, no refill on either.
The second round of my Birthdsy wings were over cooked. Service was ok, slower after they got more of a crowd
Free Wings on your Birthday!Sorta. As long as you do what they ask of you. Minimum drink order, only get your age worth of wings, and baked in 18% gratuity. Our server did not earn even that. As polite as she was , she’s didn’t clear spent service dish and glass wear, lackadaisical with follow up drink and food orders. Ordered the chicken quisedilla soup after the wings which came WITHOUT blue cheese and veggies ( $2 per order of wings which came half way through the consumption of said wings ) and it was COLD.We were celebrating the birthday of my stepson’s girlfriend and this was all very disappointing. The Free Wings thing is nothing but a money grab. Go there when there’s No birthday, and the place might be pretty good
We were there today for the second time and for the second time had bad service. The last time we were there we were offered more celery unsolicited and took up the offer only to see that we were charged though we would not have asked for more and only took it because it was offered. This time we were charged for a beer that we never ordered (there were three off us and we each had a soda for which were aptly charged). We were also charged for an extra blue cheese which we asked for but never got and there was a charge for another condiment and we werent sure what that was. When we explained to the waitress why were unhappy she was incredibly condescending. Its to bad, the food is decent but the sub-par service and the seemingly sneaky up charges leave us not wanting to go back.
Waitress was awesome. Food ok
We went today 2/19/2021 for my significant others birthday wings. The wings were amazing as well as our waitress!
Best Reuben I’ve ever had- all three times I’ve gotten it- and I’ve gotten it on grub hub. I can only imagine how good it is in the restarant.
The Cobb salad with grilled chicken was excellent for lunch! Huge portion size! Tasty! Will be back!
Birthday wings! Get as many wings as your age, and you can mix flavors. We sampled at least 8 varieties, the best was the Boom Boom wings. Great, cozy seating. No bar games, but lots of TVS if you want to watch a game.
It was the best spot for boneless wings. I recommend the stoner wing sauce. It is so good. I stumbled onto it. It is combo of spice and bbq. We are hooked. Lol
Mine and my wifes favorite place to go for a drink
Nice atmosphere prices are high but drinks are good and food is good
Inside was loud, but outdoor seating was perfect! Waiter was attentive but not hovering.
Very nice tavern. Unlike a lot of other pubs/taverns its not loud so you can actually have a conversation at your table. The menu selection is good, and the wait staff is very attentive.
Wings were ok, but blue cheese and ranch was extra charge. Staff not as friendly with couples that had children with them. Prices were ok but could of been a bit cheaper due to its not an overly fancy place in a plaza with other offices and you have to park outback.
It was good food but the free wings on your birthday (age=wings) is why it gets 4 stars.Fun story time. So we were there for our friends 30ish birthday and our 4 kids were being kids but by no means bad. They were loud but no louder than any other table. Ages 6 6 3 and 1. Well this old guy come up and says I dont know why you people bring kids out to restaurants they are loud and ... You get the idea. WELL as they were leaving his I presume wife came over and said the exact opposite to us well we informed her about the previous conversation and she was shocked as to what he said. I hope she chewed out his old leathery ass.
Had a great lunch there, my husband had the turkey bacon sandwich with fried avacado and he loved it, I had the chicken quesadilla and we had a small order of mild wings that was so good! Love the tavern atmosphere.
The birthday chicken wing deal is great. There is a good variety of sauces to pick from. We enjoyed the soups and meals as well
Cant put my finger on it exactly. Just not a fan
Great food and ambiance. Service is strange. Nobody seems to be assigned tables so its random hit or miss. Nobody is in charge of checking status on table for drinks or anything its just seems to be whoever I walking around and it lacks consistency on service.
Good food and a decent beer selection. Menu is very small, consisting mostly of Apps and sandwiches. The enchiladas soup is very good but it was only Luke warm. The fish and chips were also very good.
Service was excellent. Had a party of 13 and everyone was attended to consistently with a conscious notice of our needs without our having to ask for anything. A genuine friendly feel. Great place for social gathering, drinks and food.
Never had a bad meal here. Large portions, great atmosphere, and very clean restrooms. Great place to catch a game, grab lunch with my wife, or hang out on the patio on a nice day.
Nice atmosphere great food and a fare price..We will be back again soon.
I will never go back. It was unreal the way we were treated by the waitress over one of my my party trying to take home two supposedly free chicken wings. Got the bill and theres nothing free about it.
Good vibes always a good place for a quick off site bite to eat from work. Try the ultimate BLT really cant go wrong. 3 stars only because it is still a pub setting and food selection.
Nice salad great service
Went for a birthday celebration. Had a great time. Delicious wings, Cobb salad and beer. It was my first time there and I really liked the place
This nice family restaurant is a regular go to place for me. The food is good. There is a good selection of beers offered. Most importantly, the staff is friendly. Enjoy!
Great food, great atmosphere, great prices. Perfect spot for a quick drink at the bar or head to one of the two dining areas for a sit-down meal. This is our new spot for birthday wings and celebration.
Food is excellent, great service and atmosphere. Me and my wife has gone there the last 4 years for my birthday which was today and it was awesome. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Went there for a bite to eat with some friends and only being in town for one night we needed something near the hotel. Friendly staff and great service. High recommend if you are in the area.
Friendly service, the wings were tasty and the beer was cold!
They have a birthday special. You go on your birthday bring your I.D. and you get as many wings as you are old. Some stipulations. The wings are good and they have some interesting sauces.
Went here with a friend for her birthday and had the wings...they were delish! Only con...you cant bring the remaining wings home in a to go box 🤔..My friend turned 53, so she got 53 wings...
Excellent wings, friendly waitress and nice environment. Very enjoyable.
They have good food and a good selection of beers and liquors. Free wings on your birthday and my favorite, the sweet chili chicken quesadilla.
Nice pub setting, food and service. Likely to return.
I loved the Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese!We made Reservations because they get packed full quick. Looks like the local Hot Spot 😉
The bands are great, however the veggie wrap was less than desirable. Poor flavor and a little soggy. Only thing i come back for is the entertainment and the corned beef on st Patricks day.
Food was great .. Service SUCKED ! So badly that I dont think we will ever go back ! She is lucky the gratuity was allready added onto the total of our check or else she wouldent have gotten a tip! But then again maybe thats why she was so terrable ... because she new she was getting tipped regardless !
We celebrated a birthday two years ago everything was wonderful we were there last night celebrating my husband‘s birthday I will never go back the wings were hard as rocks over done sauce just dumped on the top of them was disgusting.
Hopping spot for people getting out of work at the nearby chip plant. Several popular drinks on tap and more in the bottles. Staff is decently speedy during the after work rush and not pushy.
Food is always good we had a big party and the service was good but when we went to check out thats were the problems began first of all they will not let people do separate checks every body pays in different ways I told everyone to get their drinks at the bar so I dont have to keep track because its impossible so when I got the check there was six beers on the check then I handed the check around the table so everyone can pay their share after my friends paid their share the waiter gave me the receipt back the amount didnt change much so I called the waiter over and asked him what was going on because I had the copies of the receipts from the people who paid and it didnt add up and said that some of the receipts didnt show up on the register you really need to check your receipts people
Tasty menu. I had the wings and they were fantastic. Service was very good. Atmosphere was pleasant. Nice clientele.
Took my son there for Birthday dinner. Food and service was awesome. I will definitely be back.
Good food if not an extensive menu. Nice atmosphere and fair prices. Oh and free wings on your birthday.
The best place for Football viewing! So many TVs and there are actually Bills fans here in Saratoga area! The pulled pork is my favorite
Bentleys has gone steadily downhill the past two years or so. Now, on a rare good night, it maxes out in quality at the upper end of mediocre. However, recently it seems as though none of the old Bentleys that we locals learned to love even exists anymore. In fact, on average, Bentleys downright sucks.At this point, Im not sure which is worse - the service or the food. Allow me to walk you through my latest - and last - visit to the tavern and you can decide for yourself.I walked in and sat myself, as youre supposed to, and my drink and appetizer orders of water and spinach-artichoke dip were promptly taken by a friendly, young waitress within 10 minutes. However, when I received the dip, the cheese that had been grossly melted onto the top was hard as a rock; it had to be removed from the dish so that I could dip the over-salted, store-bought tortilla chips into it. Once I removed the top layer of cheese, it revealed a second layer of unmelted shredded cheese and a lukewarm center. I ate only as much as I could pallet before the salt from the chips made my mouth numb. In that time I had been able to put in the order for my entree and expected it to be out a few minutes after they had cleared the appetizer. I sat and I waited... and waited... and waited.... Finally 45 minutes later (that is, 45 minutes after the appetizer was cleared) I managed to get the attention of our waitress and asked her to check on our food order. She barely even stopped to listen to me ask her to check on the status of my order, and effectively just walked briskly past me with a quiet acknowledgment that she had heard me. She never came back. Finally 10 minutes after that, I got the attention of a second, very unfriendly waitress, explained to her that Id been waiting almost an hour for my order, and thatd Id like the bill for the appetizer so I could leave. Her response was a half-hearted mutter, oh, sorry about that, and instead of doing what any eatery with an ounce of class would do, brought us back the full, undiscounted check for the appetizer.Now, its not that Im upset that I didnt get a free appetizer. Its that Im upset about the fact that it was clear nobody working at that restaurant gave a crap about the customer experience. Both when my water was refilled and when the appetizer had been cleared, the waitress was moving so briskly that I barely even got a chance to say thank you, and I received no reaction from her when I did. She already had her back to me. I should mention I was one of for or five customers in a very empty restaurant, so its not like it was dinner rush or they were understaffed. In 45 minutes of sitting, it had not occurred to a single waitress to check on our table. In addition, when I explicitly requested that the order be checked on, I was left unattended and with no follow up what-so-ever from the waitress I had asked (who was the same one that took my initial order). At a decent restaurant, somebody would have given us more than a mumbled and brisk apology or even offered something on the house. Bentleys apparently does not possess that level of tact.
Was there for a birthday celebration for my friend. Our server was fantastic. The food was good. We had a great time.
Awesome wings in a ton of flavors! Staff and service were top notch.
Celebrated my Birthday at Bentleys Tavern, had a great time. Our server Josh was out standing. What a fine gentleman. Highly recommend Bentleys.
It is a pretty cool place, I had this time a very good experience with wings(Parmesan garlic), and the Cesar salad with grilled chicken was awesome.I will definitely recommend.
What could be better than free wings on your birthday!?! And the wings were delicious!
Birthday wing special was awesome. I recommend taking a grandparent for lots of wings lol the sauce selection was decent. Overall good service.
I like this place! Weve picked it as a place for informal work meetings because of its location between the North country and capital region. The food is healthy pub, great bar and bar keeps!
We had three bad experiences here, and because we live nearby wanted to give them one LAST try. Success! Service was the best it has ever been, food solid and fresh.
Excellent menu and service, staff is friendly environment was very positive. Could update some furniture but who cares really great comfort food
68 wings for my moms 68 th birthday. Deliscious and brought out quickly. Staff were attentive and polite. Highly recommend the wings Birthday privilege.
Nice place. Went here for moms 73rd birthday for their wing special. The wings were not very good at all. They seemed like yesterdays leftovers.
Great service, yummy burgers and sandwiches. Waiter was really sweet! It’s also nice inside! Can’t wait to return .
Great Adirondack Steak Sandwich! Nice atmosphere.
Busy place. Bland cole slaw and cold nachos but they had great flavor and all else was good.
Cauliflower pizza is fantastic!
Appetizers and Entrees are delicious, big portions and well priced. I highly recommend trying the Tavern Fries. Good selection of beers, and offers a mug club. Nice local feel.
Chicken wings were tough and cold. I think they were reheated in the microwave.
Came here for the wings, was not disappointed.
Nice atmosphere. Great staff. Awesome food.
We were a big farewell party, the service was subpar at best. Food was decent but not spectacular. Not to sure I would make this a favorite spot or not..
There ks a woman I specifically go in to see as she is awesome! Very relatable and sweet!
We used the back room for a private party. Food and service were excellent but the room was very noisy with only 25 people. Hard to have conversations.
Went there for birthday wings which (other than the garlic parm being dry and sauceless) were delicious. Will definitely be going back.
Good food.. good music.. great atmosphere.. totally enjoyable.. hidden way in the back of a plaza at the south east corner of the exit 12 roundabout and route 9
Bentleys is always one of our favorite go to places. Like Cheers, they always know your name. Highly recommend
Rude and inconsiderate service, bad environment to bring kids. Had my family and I waiting long past expected, with two tables visibly open. Approached the “hosts” with kind tone, rude remarks back
Great lunch experience. menu is creative. service attentive & cheerful. food very good. highly recommend.
Excellent staff, food and service. Had a great time celebrating with family on Moms 74th birthday.
Excellent service, decent prices...food was nothing to write home about. Nothing great on tap
Great wings and service but loud during busy times. Always crowded due to birthdays. So fun!
Its soo nice to eat at a neighborhood restaurant. Good food. Good atmosphere.

Nice and clean. Large square shaped bar with plenty of seating seating and Tvs .The food is very good and nicely prepared. Easy parking.
Good food and service. BUT too noisy to enjoy my dinner companions. We couldnt talk and gave up!

Accommodating, great staff..
Excelent service great food
Good food and friendly staff. Nice place to eat or just have a beer.
Okay food but Josh Soden provided us terrible service, we will never go back because of him.
Okay if your looking for a bar. Food was okay at best in dining room. Service wasnt great. Wouldnt recommend.
Average, at best, pub food exceptionally salty preparation especially the meatloaf .
The atmosphere is very cool, but the food is over priced pub food. I gave it two stars because it would be a nice place to grab drinks with friends.
Great service, great atmosphere, nice fireplace seating, roomy, delicious food, and not a long wait time!
Wonderful food and atmosphere At a reasonable price. Great Service With A Very Friendly staff
They know how to run a bar. Very vibrant. Lots of regulars, great pub food, consistent friendly service
Was busy the wings and the drinks were amazing and the waitress made the night fun with the joking and laughing with us.
Great Reuben, best Cole slaw ive ever had
.Great restaurant-bar for food, drinks and entertainment. Good staff also a key ingredient.
Terrible waited 30 minutes for a server to come to us.. so we paid for our beers and left.. as a manager of a restaurant and bar worst service ever
I really try to support local but have order take out twice and what I ordered and what I got is way off. Sad that they don’t check orders before they go out. I called and they didn’t seem to care.
Good food and atmosphere
Good food great service but way to loud environment
Great setting, good drinks, and OK food, but the service was lacking. If your sitting at the bar, you should be fine, but otherwise, be prepared to wait.

2022-06-05I used to love Bentley’s. They had amazing food. Their boneless wings were the best I had ever had. Today I returned to Bentley’s after a few year hiatus and was really disappointed. The boneless wings were basically Tyson boneless wings. I don’t go to a restaurant and pay restaurant prices for microwave wings. They were all breading with overcooked, dry chicken in the middle. Strange to go from the best to the worst. The service was also terrible, the server never came back to ask how our meal was and we had to wait forever for the check. On the plus side my margarita was good.

2022-03-27Nice place to dine with friends. They have so many varieties of chicken wings. Loved their garlic-parm wings. You get as many free wings as your age and second glass of bear free on your birthday. Lot of space. If you want a quiet romantic dinner then this is not a place because its a sports bar.

2021-07-16Pricey but good food. pizza and reuben were excellent. inside and outside seating with various different areas/rooms inside. bartenders were chill and attentive. plenty of parking. it’s a nice gastropup-type bar/grille that you see everywhere in the suburbs these days…no charm or personality but worth a shot.

2022-04-28Great place! Been here several times over the years and it hasnt changed much. Solid service, great bar area, great selection of drinks and a menu that has kept up with the times. Would definitely recommend.

2022-04-24Place was busy at 5pm on a Saturday. Bar is loud so request a seat in the dining room if you want to have a conversation. Beer was cold. Tavern pizza was overly smothered in cheese. They do offer tater tots which is a rarity at local restaurants.

2022-05-19Ive been here many times over the years, never remember having bad experience. Bentleys Tavern is just abit off the beaten path. Id say it has a traditional UK type atmosphere with nice stained wood paneling and trim plus everything youd expect in an American establishment with plenty of TVs and Quick Draw. Theyve recently added a expanded dining area/event space, and now offer two sets of restrooms. My last two trips I enjoyed an excellent overstuffed steak and cheese hoagie with peppers and onions. Prices were fair, and bar tenders attentive. Stop in, you wont be disappointed.

2022-05-08Fun times with friends. Great staff, good food. The back room is too loud. They need to add in sound deadening material to the walls and ceilings. It was so loud it was uncomfortable at times.
