Orchard Tavern, Albany

The map is wrong for this historic restaurant. It is actually located around the corner from the marked site at 68 No. Manning Blvd. If coming from Exit 5 (Everett Rd) turn onto Watervliet Ave. This becomes Commerce Ave. Go 1/4 mile and take a right onto No. Manning. It is right at the top of the hill.

I have been going to the Orchard Tavern all my life. I usually order the homemade pizza. They have a full menu of Italian food, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, ,clubs, and all sorts of appetizers. I always say that you can't beat homomade food. The personal sized pizza's are always piping hot when you get them and have the fresh toppings of your choice. The dining room might feel a little crowded, but I guess the secrets out on the Orchard. Wait staff is fun and professional. They have all been working there a long time so they know what they're doing. Pizza and a soda for under $10....my kind of place.

Top notch tavern pizza. Good family eatery. It's not a palace inside, but if you want a good meal, you came to the right place.

I have been going to Orchard Tavern for their great pizza for over 30 yr. The pizza recipe has never changed although ownership has changed hands a few times. This is hands down the BEST pizza I have ever had, bar none (no pun intended). The pizza is so delicious, I have never ordered anything else on the menu nor have I felt the inclination to even look at their menu. The one person pizza isn't going to fill the hardiest of eaters, but one pizza is more than enough for the average eater. After eating the pizza, you may not be full to the gills when you leave, but you will never be disappointed. Even though it is a little pricey for the quantity, the quality is beyond compare in the area or any other area for that matter. The service is average at best, but again, the pizza saves the day.

Decent pizza, nice atmosphere, fairly priced.
