Great spot! The haddock fried fish was great. Very good flavor. The cheeseburger could have been better it was on the smaller side and wasn’t chedder at all. But the onion rings were the start of the show! Delicious!

Gene's Fish Fry has a great fish fry. Gene's has a full menu including fish, hamburgers, fries, chicken fingers, and milkshakes. The fish here is fresh, fried, and fantastic! Make sure to try their homemade tartar sauce; it's easily the best in the area. The coleslaw is also very good. Ordering food here is easy. Just go to the first window after you make your pick. They will call your name when the food is ready. If eating at the restaurant you will get a tray for your food. They also do takeout. The restaurant is open seasonally. All seating is outdoors on picnic benches. On a clear day you see the Corning Tower in the distance. When driving here the entryway is easy to miss. You will to find a narrow road that goes by the restaurant and to the parking lot. The restaurant is surrounded b

One of the last, great fish fry stands in that Albany area. Huge portions at a great price.

Excellent. Places like this are getting rarer and rarer. If you're within an hour drive of this place you need to go. Food was fantastic. Very fresh haddock. Cole Slaw was great. Their spicy chili sauce is also a must try. Great service. We will go back.

Never had a bad meal here ever. I always forget about this place because they aren't open year-round. Hopefully the guy had good insurance and you'll get a whole new restaurant out of this.
