Humpty’s Dump Bar and Grill

Never thought I would have found myself here. It was a nice warm night so off we all went on our ride night so we ended up here. We had a lot of Hareley’s in our group. Probably 22 – 24.
They were very friendly here. I didn’t eat any of the food, but some of our friends did and from what I did see and hear they all liked what they had.
Some had broasted chicken, patty melts, burgers, and tots.
All of the locals were very friendly.

Stopped in for dinner after a movie. Place wasn’t crowded and pleasantly quiet – as in no screaming loud music. We sat down and were treated to the most attentive service ever. Got drinks right away and ordered our food. There were four of us, and when the food came it was just right and everyone got exactly what we ordered.
The food was all good. My son says they have the best clam chowder in Albany, and probably for a long ways around (available on Friday night). The chicken was awesome, the burger wonderful, and the steak plate was way better than we expected for the price.
The service was attentive and quick, the atmosphere great (it is a dive bar, after all) and I intend to be back next time I’m in the area.

Stopped into this place on Monday and it’s a little regulars bar. They are pretty friendly here and the atmosphere is small town. I’m pretty sure they knew we weren’t from the area– they were polite all the same. I wanted to stop in because of the name. Had to have that in my check ins! I guess I haven’t done a review for awhile, but this is a great place with really strong drinks. I had to take awhile on mine. Also, since it’s winter, the lights went out, that was cool. I would stop back through. Didn’t eat so cannot comment on that, but food looked decent.

Best broasted chicken EVER! Jojos were not that great, but the drinks were well poured. A member of our party asked for a double and the waitress told her to wait and taste the single first. She didn’t need the double. Excellent service, we will be back. Get the chicken, seriously.

Today was my first time here and I loved it. I really enjoy little random bars with lots to offer. My drink was fantastic! I really wish I would have gotten the bartenders name (worked Sunday at 3) she was busy and handed the crowd well. Very nice, not intrusive and even came over to our table to offer more to drink. I can’t wait to visit again!

By the way the rest of the menu is prepared very nicely. This established in 1965. Ask for Ted he is the head cook, give him a tip as well if you can even a $ 1.00 means a lot.

I almost don’t want to write this review because I feel like Humpty’s is a fun little secret and I have to be careful who I tell! But, good stuff deserves credit so Humpty’s is no exception.
Growing up in the area, I passed Humpty’s off I-​5 many, many, times and it eventually turned into a joke between my dad and I. We’d see it, and sarcastically say, «Oh yeah! Let’s go hang at the DUMP! Sounds like a GREAT place!» Well, a couple years ago it was my dad’s birthday and we wanted to go get a drink. I jokingly said, «let’s go to the dump» and dad was into it, so we gave it a shot. On the outside, yes, it looks horrific. The inside, based on appearances, isn’t much better. But let me tell you what, DO NOT judge a book by its cover here!
Excellent service! The people who work there are attentive and polite. I went there on my birthday and the bartender bought me a drink. It’s just that kind of place.
INCREDIBLE fried (okay, broasted) chicken! No joke, the only fried chicken I’ve had that rivals this place is Screen Door in Portland. Their chicken is FANTASTIC. Everything else on the menu is usual bar food fare, and it’s done well, but you are doing yourself a disservice if you order anything except the chicken. The prices are unbelievable. I believe it’s $ 7.50 for a two-​piece chicken basket that comes with homemade jo-​jos (also to die for) and garlic toast. Yes, please! I can hardly ever finish mine. I’ve never left hungry.
This is not a fancy place and you won’t find expert mixologists and signature cocktails. However, the classics are done well here in that well drinks cost $ 3.50 and come in pint glasses. Don’t ask questions. Also, $ 1 jello shots. Let your inner-​trash come out and let yourself enjoy a cheap-​ass jello shot!
Please don’t discount Humpty’s on its appearance. This place is really a gem and they deserve your business.

This place looks ghetto from the outside, but it is so cool on the inside. All the mill workers come here after their shift, so this place is usually packed around 5 on up till about 8pm. It has video lottery, pool tables, and a weird kitchen area right next to where everyone sits, so you can watch all the food being made from start to finish. The drinks. Oh man. I ordered a rum and coke and the girl filled the glass all the way to the top and then put a «dash» of coke on top. Wow, looks like I’m only having one. You’re welcome pocket book! It is a very neat/​old timey bar that I can’t wait to go back to. Why I don’t go to this bar more often is beyond me.
