What People's Say About Place

Front street social is the best! We moved here 5 years ago and this has been our favorite date night spot since. This is our go to spot especially because they always have a delicious happy hour our serve Jeremy really elevates the experience, his banter and jokes are always fun and always makes us feel welcome. out go tos are the happy hour margaritas, tacos and Fried zucchini but recently we also friend the soup and jalapeño fries which were AMAZINGG!! You definitely don’t wanna skip out on dessert I recommend the affogato coffee and churros

I had such a great time at Front Street Social. We started with the sweet potato fries, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we tried the chicken tacos and the steak with brown sugar shrimp and fries. The chicken tacos were the star of the show, fresh and flavorful, and definitely worth recommending. The carnitas taco were just okay, and the shrimp could have been better, but overall the meal was still fantastic. We ended on a sweet note with warm, fresh made beignets that paired perfectly with the whole experience. The atmosphere really made the night, with friendly faces, good old time music, and a welcoming vibe all around. Service was top notch thanks to our bartender, Mark. He went above and beyond, always checking in, keeping our drinks full, and making sure we were well taken care of with a pleasant response every time. Front Street Social is definitely a spot I will be coming back to. Great food, great service, and a great time.

My husband and I stopped into Front Street Social for dinner, and wow—were we blown away! You have to order the crab street corn dip… it’s mind-blowing. I had the most incredible salmon, and the non-alcoholic mocktail list was the cherry on top. The whole place is beautiful, and we loved the older tunes playing in the background—just added to the amazing vibe. It’s the perfect spot for a date night. Could not recommend this place enough! Shoutout to Mark (bartender/server wizard!!) so down to earth and friendly! We will be back!

A wonderful place! The food is always fantastic, service is great. Fronkenburger as the Capital Region best burger is def in the conversation. A nice quiet atmosphere to spend an evening together. One strike is the coffee...it has to be fresh! Decaf seemed ok but the regular was def cooking on the burner for a while. Bit of a buzkill to an otherwise great meal.

Don’t let the name fool you. I came here to because I was looking for a dog friendly deck and BringFido recommended here. I was worried it was going to be run of the mill bar food based on the name, it was not. I had a rack of freshly made tacos, the handmade fries were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The picture is of a $5 happy hour carnitas taco and an $8 delish old fashioned. Can’t go wrong here.

Been a few times for the happy hour tacos, brought 4 friends to celebrate a birthday. Jeremy provided excellent service (including checking for food allergies), and all my guests agreed it lived up to the expectations I had set. Great for parties of 6 or smaller, mocktail menu was a hit as well.

Nice place with a cool speakeasy vibe inside. The staff was very attentive and took care of everything we needed. The cocktails are great. The fried chicken and beignets were delicious. The Fronkenburger is also a must try. The crispy fish tacos were also good. I didn't love the sour cherry shrimp but I think that's my personal taste. The only nit-picks I have are the menus could use a wipe down and they also seem to still be using a winter themed menu. I enjoyed going though and I will go back for sure.

Great spot, out door seating right in town. Great drinks, Mark the bartender also does tables, fantastic choices of bourbon and whiskey, nice old time pub look, clean bathrooms. Great food
