Fantastic Diner. Food was great and the service was outstanding. Given that we showed up prior to closing, I'm grateful they hung around for us because everything was perfect! Would have loved to have had some more of that chowder, but I got the last of it!

We got a reuben with steak fries. Was excellent, real hearty corned beef, fresh rye bread. Was so delicious. Also a café burger real beef patty cooked perfectly, caramelized onions, avocado, smoked gouda, Chipotle aioli. Fresh bun that was hearty. Everything was cooked perfectly. Fantastic waitress. Spoke with the waitress as well as the owners mom a portion of proceeds are donated for breast cancer. Excellent little cafe. Fresh food definitely try it out!! Will definitely be going back. Everything is made fresh!!!!

I’ve been here for both breakfast and lunch and the flavors never disappoint! No matter when you come- purchase a take home chowder! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Staff was very friendly, food was great. We went for breakfast. I had Avocado egg toast, which was delicious and there was so much I couldn't even finish it. My friend enjoyed biscuits and gravy with homefries, she said they're her favorite breakfast choice and that these measured up! We sat at a table, but there were also stools at the bar. Coffee was piping hot, there were scrumptious muffins for sale and the waitress had just made a special treat (which we brought home) of potato chips dipped in peanut butter and chocolate. OMG. Nice homey place, a local spot. Will go back when I am in the area.

Best Chowder in Ballston Spa! The food is equally good. Ordered breakfast fries, a cup of chowder and buffalo tacos. The fries were my favorite. The gravy was killer, the egg was cooked just right. The ratio of the ingredients is perfectly balanced. It's easy to spot the TLC oozing from the food. The service was exceptional as well. Our knowledgeable, friendly, and attractive waitress Sonya took wonderful care of us. She was attentive to our table yet patient while we made up our minds, offering insightful suggestions during the process. Prices are fair, place is clean, staff is friendly, the food is exceptional. Worth trying 👍
