50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ballston Spa

“Chicken Schwarma over rice was fantastic! The menu truly has something for everyone. Can’t wait to go back 😊“

“Chorizo BANGS. Get it in anything guaranteed 10/10. Have been ordering and dining in here for a year or two now, and have always been more than happy with what I get for what I pay. Drinks are also great too!“

“I have been getting the same omelet every Sunday for the last 6 years, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Ribbon catered my wedding in May '24, and long before then they were practically family. This is the best place in Ballston Spa for more than just king Kev's cooking. Wonderful little place filled with happy people always with a smile on their face and a plate of something spectacular always on the way to a table. and that's not even mentioning why Kevin started the place and all the victims of breast cancer he's helped. 💗 love y'all 5 stars is hardly enough.“

“Great food, friendly service Support local“

“We love this place! Food and coffee is awesome and service is great.“

“Unique decor with tin tiles and an old school, classic feel. you can tell that they are foodies by the way they compose dishes and the cocktails are excellent. It is generally busy. I can usually find a seat for two, but I would call ahead especially for more than two people. This is a great place. One of my favorites.“

“I will never eat here again I ordered their afternoon tea. A plain salad plate which consisted of greens two slices of cucumber and shredded carrots, a cup of soup and I wanted a scone. They were out of scones so I reluctantly agreed to a piece of cake. When I saw they charged me 29 I spoke to the manger explaning my complaint. She refused to acknowledge that the meal was overpriced for what I had. The waitress never stated there was an upcharge. Had I gotten a sandwich I would feel different but for what I got the price was waaay out of proportion. Never never never eating here again.“

“Wish I knew about them sooner. Delicious bagels! Friendly service.“

“Great deli right in downtown BSpa. Ordered up some sandwiches & tacos for an event and it was all fresh and delicious. Staff is courteous and helpful.“

“Had a great breakfast there last week. Had to drive around the parking lot 3 times and wait about 15 minutes to get in but it was definitely worth the wait“

“The Chrysanthemum Flowers tea is fantastic!“

“The works and Nutty monkey bowl was the absolute best! When I say delish, that’s exactly what I mean. I 100% recommend any one of these as well as the place for many other reasons! Enjoy when you make it there.“

“Food that I could eat was ok, but the staff really needs to have a book readily available that lists all ingredients in each dish.
Even if they don't show it to customers, it's critical that at least the staff have access to this information to be able to alert customers whether or not their allergen is in a particular food item.“

“My mom used Sweet Mimi’s to cater my bridal shower. The food was absolutely incredible and we are still talking about it a week later! This will definitely not be our last time using them for an event! Highly recommend!!“

“Stellar evening even though our reservations were for the bar and it was not the best seating due to being by the kitchen door. The food was delicious, well presented, and plentiful. The cocktails were smooth and prepared right in front of you. For the exceptional quality food you need a table the bar became a crowded scene while we were trying to enjoy our dinner.“

“The food was delicious. don't let the appearance from the outside fool you. you can smell the deliciousness from the sidewalk and we ate every bite. the waiter asked if we wanted to eat the paper and we died laughing. They even accommodated us having our baby with us.“

“Best Egg Sandwich in town!“

“The specials are usually really good, best I've had was the churro cake. The cookies are good, I prefer usually to go for the minis because of the price but also they're also baked through more than the larger cookies.
Heads up if you order through doordash, let an employee know because your order will not be on the display screen of waiting orders.
Biscoff cheesecake was insanely good
Tried the Dubai Chocolate Brownie, was really good, just can't justify the price for the Dubai Chocolate craze.“

“We booked a large reservation for my parent's birthdays this past Sunday with Frank, who was wonderful in making adjustments, giving suggestions, and was so on top of it with responses. He even offered to customize menus for us, which my parents got a kick out of - thank you so much for everything. I would absolutely be back soon.

Pizzas and beers were to die for, but wow those wings!!“

“A family member ordered delivery for us from here. We can't wait to visit in person. \nComfort Burger was awesome as were the chili cheese fries . Order included a Lucy salad with grill chicken. Greens were fresh, as were the sliced apples. We also had what has to be the best grilled cheese sandwich i have ever had. Loaded with a blend of 4 cheeses and caramelized onions. Bread was grilled to perfection. The order also included a fried chicken sandwich which had a huge fried chicken breast. Finally, the side order of chili didn't look that great but tasted fantastic\n I would also like to add that according to Google AI they offer gluten free bread and most items can be made gluten free.“

“Unified Beerworks is an amazing brewery, and awesome local business. They sponsor some great local events, including the Bethlehem Cup Cyclocross Race, and it is always a pleasure to try their beers and chat with the owner. This is the type of local business that truly makes an awesome product, and also gives back to their community. I’m a huge fan, and super appreciative!“

“This coffee is amazing, they have this option from a farm across Colombia that is all sustainably sourced. Caturra Chiroso is our favorite on their menu! Definitely try that one.“

“I’ve been getting my deli meat exclusively here since Covid. They’re great. I can even call in the order in advance and it’s sliced and ready when I get there. Egg sandwiches are also great. We get them a lot when we’re going hiking because they’re big and filling. Recently we tried the chicken cutlet subs and the Buffalo chicken wrap. Holy crap! Out of this world. Each sub literally had 4 chicken cutlets.“

“Wife and I really like everything about this place. Great beer, we love the food, and friendly helpful staff. Great people here!

However, we don't get to go in person much, so we've been trying to order delivery frequently during the past 2 months and their courier (at this time, Uber) has made it an extremely unpleasant and unreliable experience almost every time. In fact, after just spending over an hour today on the phone with Uber Eats over a $60 order, only to be told by Uber Eats that we'll have to pay the full amount if we cancel an order that is an hour late (due to Uber Eats lack of competent drivers in the area, nothing at all to do with ABW), we won't be ordering from here until there's a better option. Uber Eats is definitely the problem. Hoping to see this place on Doordash someday, so we can enjoy reliable fast pickup & delivery.“

“Their new space across from Ben and Jerry’s has a vegan burger and shake mini restaurant and it is wonderful. We brought our meat and vegan friends and everyone absolutely loved the vegan burgers. Great fries with tons of different interesting sauces. Saratoga needed this! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-09“

“First time at the Merc. Hostess was very nice. Patrick's professionalism was fantastic and not seen enough these days. Brady was our server and his spirit and recommendations were spot on. The food was great and the Sangria was perfect for a Sunday afternoon brunch.... Thank you all...delish!“

“The most adorable, cozy breakfast spot. Delicious food, coffee & great service. The owner is so upbeat & friendly.“

“my wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in saratoga. we stopped in for lunch, and it did not disappoint! the food is amazing, and it's a great environment. highly recommend!“

“Avocado toast was amazing!“

“Amazing baguettes and pastries!!! Highly recommend checking out if you find yourself in the Saratoga Springs area.“

“My husband and I were in town on a motorcycle trip this past weekend. Looked on the map for a place to grab a bite and I saw that Active Ingredient was within walking distance of our hotel. The food and drinks were great and the staff super friendly. Wide variety of beers, something for everyone. Love the decor inside. Will definitely come back next time we are in the area.“

“Ordered here for my daughter’s birthday dinner last night. The food was delicious and prices on point. Thank you guys“

“Stopped in for drinks, great bar selection Ordered the tuna tartare, beet salad and French fries. All exceeded expectations. So delicious and generous sized portions. Wish we were staying in town longer so we could return.“

“Friendly service, good food!!“

“Friendly staff. But can get busy although lines move quickly. Numerous coffee and bagel offerings“

“Excellent service“

“The food was served cold and the smell in the restaurant was not fresh. The food is like a Chinese buffet style and the attitude of the host is not welcome! 1 ⭐️ out of 10.....not recommended“

“This Pub has a great Irish atmosphere, great food and service. Highly recommend. would love to see live music here! Will definitely be back🍀“

“Every meal at Eddy’s is so good. The food is not greasy, it is fresh and flavorful. Eddy went out of his way to come to our table. He is a very nice man. How often does an owner come to your table and thank you for coming in. We highly recommend the General Tso Shrimp and the Garlic Eggplant. Crab Rangoons and Spring Rolls too.“

“We had a beautiful baby shower there! From my 1st inquiry to the day of event Brandye was amazing to work with! The staff were so nice and accommodating and the food plentiful, hot and delicious. Such a beautiful venue! We will definitely book again and again for all our family functions!“

“This is an amazing place with great staff, excellent food & wine, and a great atmosphere! I highly recommend.“

“Great food, awesome Kimchi cheese fries!, music is awesome and Nicole is the best!!“

“Came here for lunch when our son was at a regatta. The restaurant was busy, but we were glad to get a seat. If you have a larger party, be sure to make a reservation.
At lunch, our server was Liz and she was fantastic!

We loved it so much, later that evening, we came back and brought a large group to sit at the bar and have drinks.

The manager Heather was wonderful. The professionalism and customer care were superb! 👌

We highly recommend this restaurant.
Delicious Mexican food. Drinks are so good too.“

“Great service and delicous food“

“Spot was perfect for a late light coffee and date night session. ☕“

“This is a very sweet place, the staff are friendly, the clientele obviously are many repeat customers who feel at home. The laughter coming from the bar was infectious. We haven’t been to Saratoga since before COVID and we had an old gift certificate they honored no question. Food was delicious.“

“my wife and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary in saratoga. we stopped in for lunch, and it did not disappoint! the food is amazing, and it's a great environment. highly recommend!“

“We always have a great time at a Nanola. We are longtime trivia participants. The music is MUCH MUCH too loud, but our regular server, Bradley, makes up for it with his sweet disposition and his understanding of what we want. Rob and Erin are marvelous.“
