50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ballston Spa

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Great food, friendly service Support local“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love how they've grown over the years. a lot of variety! good flavors quick service!“

“The NUTTY MONKEY! Amazing staff and service.“

“We've been a fan on Saratoga Tea and Honey's selections for several years but just recently experienced a private tea tasting class and it was wonderful! The experience was tailored to us- tried a variety of teas, learned so much, and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Huge portion size for the price! Highly recommend“

“First timer for a family lunch. Everyone loved the Mac & Cheese (with the breadcrumb topping). I had the chicken sandwich and it was a five star meal along with homemade sweet potato chips. My wife had the grilled cheese and tomato soup which she gave three stars. My daughter had the chili and she and I agreed it was the weal link in the experience. Clean place, fast service and the chicken sandwich is why I give this place a solid four stars. Try it for yourself.“

“This Place is Great. We stayed in parking lot while traveling. Six of us found different brews or ciders we enjoyed. My favorite was the Brown Ale. There are so many choices.
And then there's the pizza!. Really the best pizza we ever had. The meatball pizza was topped with homemade meatballs cut in half. The crust is perfectly crispy.
The very best part of this place is the Staff! Friendly, Knowledgeable,“

“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.“

“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!“

“We stopped by for some beer and Detroit Style pizza on Saturday. Even though they were super busy before the Belmont on Broadway concert, they served us very quickly. The staff was very fast and efficient. Our food came out after a very short wait. The beer is always good and the pizza was amazing. The other food coming out looked so good that we plan to come back soon to try something else. We loved the atmosphere in the beer hall. We would highly recommend this place.“

“Worth the wait; the food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing!“

“Best Egg Sandwich in town!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Avocado toast was amazing!“

“Absolutely killer bar. If you happen to go when Zach is the bartender you are in luck. There is no better connoisseur of beer in the world than this fine gentleman. The beer is great, the ambience is great, the video games are great, everything is great here. If you are in Saratoga Springs, and you were looking for a beer, you should absolutely go here.“

“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.“

“Over this weekend they hosted our gender reveal on very very short notice! Everyone was so accommodating and the bartenders were phenomenal! The location of being right off the highway made it super convenient“

“Was finally able to get a reservation and the reputation is well deserved! The wait staff is fantastic and the owners are very friendly. A big key to great Italian restaurants is how well they do with the basics. The red sauce here is fantastic. Hard to find the right words to describe how wonderful it tastes. They are using the freshest, highest quality ingredients and it shows in their excellent meatballs. The sauces in the lobster pasta and veal pasta blew us away. We enjoyed it so much we came back the next night after a table opened up last minute. If I didn't live three hours away I would be here regularly. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

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

“Here for the first time and had a great experience!
Welcoming bartender who let us try several IPAs before ordering pints- they were all good! Food was tasty and came out quickly.
The burger was excellent, and liked the tots as well.
Such a cute and welcoming spot, will be back soon for more good food and beer!“

“Awesome! Best place! Really good soup too 5 star! Really 200/5 BEST“

“Excellent service“

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

“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.“

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

“beautiful shop and smallish eating area. delicious pastries...street parking plentiful. service excellent. apple tart and almond croissant were purchased and exceptional!!!“

“Best pasta osoboco I’ve ever had.“

“Went here tonight with my 2 young daughters. Unbeknownst to us the ticketing service for meals had an issue which resulted in delays. Staff were super accommodating when we approached them and food was quickly brought out after that. Beer was excellent and combined with the amazing staff we will certainly be back.“

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

“We had a group of 9 for dinner on a Saturday night, and everything was absolutely perfect. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Everyone’s food was excellent — flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. This place has quickly become one of our favorite spots!“

“Friendly service, good food!!“

“I have to share something that was so kind. I went to dinner here for my dad’s birthday. We had delicious appetizers, the ribs were amazing. I ordered the coconut tacos which were amazing but I was so full already I only had one. I got the rest in a to go box. As me and my family walked out the door of the restaurant I realized I left my tacos on the table. My mom and I ran back inside to find the table completely cleared. My mom asked one of the staff if they knew of it was thrown away and they said yes. I said I didn’t mind if they gave it to me out of the trash because that’s how good it was I didn’t want to leave it behind. I believe it was the manager who overheard the exchange and said that she was going to remake a fresh one for me. It was the kindest thing ever she even included the sour cream, beans, rice, and even a bag of chips. You don’t always see this type of wonderfully kind service so if I were you I would totally go! And get the ribs!“

“was suprised to find pretty good food. drinks were ok. fun night out. staff was attentive.“

“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“

“We stopped in when wandering the town and had the most delicious burger ever. Our waitress was Beth and she was amazing!“

“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.“

“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!“

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