Restaurant near Albany exit

Hello, I am looking for a restaurant in the Albany area. We are part way through a New England/New York trip. Tomorrow we will be driven by family to the Albany area where more family members will pick us up and take us to our next location. I was thinking the 7 of us (including a toddler) can meet up and have a casual, low cost, quick dinner together. We%26#39;d like to stay close to the NYS Throughway. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

How about Friday%26#39;s in Stuyvesant Plaza? Granted its a chain, but you have 7 people of varying ages and Friday%26#39;s is always consistent.

Stuyvesant Plaza is located at the end of 87 (Northway - southern most point) and less than 2 miles from exit 24 of the Thruway.
