Kay's Burden Lake Restaurant Reviews

The pizza is to die for. Wish it was open year round!!!

This is the best pizza in the Albany area. The brownie sundae is not too shabby either

Been going to Kay's since I was an infant and it's never disappointed. Love the well done crust and the melty cheese. Plus they really load up the specialty pies with toppings. Thanks for another great season!!

The very best pizza in the Capital Region. Friendly staff,great service!

The best, freshest, tastiest pizza you will ever eat. Bring your appetite.

Cute restaurant sitting right next to Burden Lake for the perfect view. They are always busy but super efficient in getting people in and out quickly. The pizza is simply delicious. It's no frills...just plain old good! Definitely try it!

Really really good pizza. I suggest the Kay's special. The wings are also good.

Love their pizza! Really miss it, go there every time we are back up in New York! No place comes close to it down here so far that we found.

Kay'spizza is by far the best! I love the crisp bottom.

The bestbbn pizza & wings around....dinners not so much.

The pizza is amazing! Perfect job guys! We'll definitely be returning, and bringing more friends too.

They've got this Covid thing figured out..ordered pizza...super good!! ..drive up..give your name and they bring to your car..in and out!! Busy place!#

I grew up going to Kay's. Now it's one of my top 5 "must go" restaurants when I visit home!

No Doubt, its one of the best pizzas I ever had. Big menu with great options. The servers were nice and friendly. They have some games and boat shaped machine for kids and our servers got coins for our kids which was really a sweet gesture. Going there is quiet a travel thru country roads but totally worth. We got there pizza kit too which I cant wait to try. :-)

First time there with my family. Food was amazing service was outstanding.

While this place has decent food, the establishment is heated to the point you feel like you're in an oven, service is slow, and when chicken is dropped on the floor, there is a five second rule before they can just toss it back in the fryer.

Amazing! Be prepared to wait... Everybody loves Kay's!

Best pizza in Capitol District area, Albany, NY. Seating is tight, room is noisy, usually very crowded and parking is a pain in the butt. Informal atmosphere. Pizza is worth the downsides. On shore of Burden Lake.

The pizza really is that good! There was quite the wait, but definitely worth it. Tight quarters in the dinning room, not very private either. I can't take away stars because the pizza is just that good.

Awesome place but it can get very busy in yhe summer

The best pizza in the capital district area. Luv it

AMAZING PIZZA. I try to come here at least one time every summer. I suggest you do too.

Kay's is great! The pizza is awesome and so are the wings! Service is great too. The place is always busy but we get seated, usually within 10 minutes. Parking is pretty bad. Lot is small and most times we are walking a ways in the road. We go once or twice per year and it's worth the drive.

Great food and service, only downside is that it is seasonal. Pizza and steamers are excellent.

Kay's has seriously insufficient parking, which is why I gave it four stars, but, if you can find parking, and it's well worth the effort to try, their pizza is to die for, the best I've ever had anywhere. They also have an extensive menu of other summertime favs like steamed clams, salads, etc., all served by very efficient and friendly staff. Kay's, in Burden Lake, is a summertime institution in Rensselaer county; a definite must try.

Yum - right up until closing. See you next summer!

KAY'S IS THE BEST
I've been going to Kay's since I was a little kid, and my parents went here when they were kids too. Awesome pizza, beer, and video games, you can't go wrong

In its 61 St season. Pizza is still good as ever. Fast efficient service.

This is not your epicurean delight restaurant, but it's what I like. Outside dining beside the water. We had pizza abd it was delicious. Have been there before (it's over an hour's drive away) and I'll go there again given the opportunity.

Family, friends, atmosphere and great food! What more could you ask for?

the food was awesome and the service s was great and it was my first time there

My family has been coming here many times a year for decades. Always, always great food and service here. Worth the short distance to experience Kay's on the lake.

a summer classic! great food good people, very busy get there early and be patient pro tip park on the street getting in and out of the lot can be tough.

I like peperoni the meat pie is very heavy!

Drove an hour to get pizza cause Google said they closed at 9 but they actually close at 8 someone should fix that

Great pizza. Have to get there early because food that good

The busy and loud atmosphere makes it fun to hang out with family and joke or laugh as loud as you wish!

Ok pizza. Not sure what the attraction is. Better pizza closer to home for me.

Best pizza I've ever had Also great scenery but very very busy

Always the best pizza! Worth the wait in line outside! Great atmosphere and friendly people

Absolutely delicious! Always hear everyone bragging about it, finally went. Amazing. Best marinara sauce!

Only a couple months until it closes until next year. Get some!

There always great tasting pizzas. Totally recomend

This is one of the summer staples in the area. You must get pizza from Kay s every year. Atmosphere is perfect for the small town lake front pizza restaurant that all ages can enjoy. Very family friendly. A must visit.

Excellent place drove all the way from glens falls to try it out highly recommend

Fun and iconic location and food. No one knows what keeps the place from imploding because it's so old, but that's half the charm. Can be long wait times for a table and tight parking, but well worth it!

The only complaint I have is that sometimes it's too busy

This place is an institution for locals! You have to visit at least twice while they are open. Once early in the season, when you have been craving their pizza and the atmosphere of sloping floors and crowded dining space, and late in the season, so you get to enjoy the pizza when the weather is cooler, and the lack of AC is not an issue. It's really like a giant screened in porch, instead of a real restaurant, but that is part of the charm. (Full disclosure: we bought the house that the former owners of Kay's built in the 60s, so we feel a sort of special attachment to the place.) Service is always friendly and fun, and they have great steamed clams and sundaes, along with that yummy pizza!

A must! The building is cockeyed, the food is 1st rate.

Poor service, wait and wait, walk out with no pizza

Great pizza! You can tell this staff is seasoned too, because they're friendly and efficient.. getting people in and out and happily. There is always a line, so get there early!
