About

Our Story

Over 10 years ago we decided to plant roots in Old Niskayuna. We found it to be a great place to live, to make friends and to raise our kids. It seemed to have everything we wanted…except a neighborhood restaurant.

So...we built one...and decided to focus sharply on four things:
1) Put out great food and drinks
2) Staff a team of friendly people
3) Maintain a clean, inviting space
4) Give back to the community

We hope you’ll stop in and let us serve you, which in turn will support our community (as you’ll read below). It’s an idea we like to call Niskaunity.

THINGS TO KNOW

WE ARE A CASH ONLY BUSINESS

Why?!?! Instead of giving 3% of our sales to the credit card companies, we contribute 3% of our sales to a different Niskayuna cause each month. We think they deserve it more!

For your convenience we have an ATM in our dining room with just a $1.00 fee.

WE DEEP FRY IN PEANUT OIL

This includes bone in and boneless chicken, french fries, croutons and kids chicken fingers.

PENN STATE & BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL

WE ARE the Capital Region's OFFICIAL watch party spot for Penn State Nittany Lion football every Saturday, and proudly welcome the Bills Mafia to circle the wagons here on Sundays.

ABOUT THE BROKEN INN

Most everything in The Broken Inn came from someplace else. The booths came from "The Four's" in Boston. The candy tables in the bar came from an "adult" club in The Bronx (we've since washed them) and the bar itself is a genuine prohibition piece from Springfield Mass. And while the decor is indeed broken in, the restaurant is named for our girls... Brooklyn & Kennedy.
