25 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ballston Spa

“My favorite place for lunch! The veggie goat-cheese sconewich is my go-to, and I love pairing it with a fresh salad and the lemon crepe for dessert. The portions are excellent, and everything is delicious! Such a wide variety of food & drinks for all to enjoy. The place is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend getting there by 11:30 a.m. for lunch to minimize your chances of a wait. But, this place really is worth the wait!“

“Been wanting to try out this one for awhile. I waited for a beautiful day to sit outside and everything was delicious! We ordered the small plates because we couldn’t decide and it left room for dessert! Sliders were perfect. Sweet potato fries were SO yummy. And the cherry shrimp we’re still talking about. But the beignets? Amazing!“

“The food was cooked well hamburger was done no pink meat and bigger than some places French fries was hot delicious my experience I'll come again when I'm in townKid-friendliness: Even a bathroom outside enough room not crowded so relaxing and enjoyableParking: Alot of spot in front of snack barWheelchair accessibility: You can get out of car no trouble enough room for wheelchair“

“Wonderful tea shop with a tea bar for sitting and visiting with friends over a pot of tea. Selection of teas and honey and giftware is impressive. Staff is awesome! I've been there for classes that teach all about tea and found that my favorite are the dark Oolongs. Laid back and chill space, window dressings invite you in from the heat or the cold, I love it there.“

“It’s a great dinning experience at the Solevo. The portions are generous, and the staffs are friendly and accommodating.One of the best lasagna I had in a while! The oyster Rockefeller was just ok. Overall a good Italian meal. Definitely be back to explore more dishes. The chicken scrap was delicious with crispy skin and heavy on spices.Street parking and lots too. Would definitely recommend to make reservations.“

“Stopped in on a Saturday morning around 8.45am, when we walked in we were shocked to see about 25+ people in line. The line wrapped around to the back of the cafe. The place was well staffed so our wait wasn’t as long as I thought but was still about 15-20 mins. This said, the coffee and bagel sandwiches were worth the wait! The bagels are huge, egg was cooked perfectly and avocado done just right. The atmosphere was great, very quaint and well done. The staff was very friendly and we didn’t feel rushed at all even though they were so busy. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I love this place. The seasonal coffee selection is on point and the decor is so cozy. Only one barista taking orders and making drinks so it was a little slow but it's such a nice place that I didn't mind. The food looked great and although I would have loved to try a pastry they had few left and no big selection. Next time!“

“I cannot believe I had to travel all the way to Saratoga Springs to find my favorite pizza in the US (versus my childhood Chicago stuffed pizza that some say is not really pizza). 9 Miles East is a great combination of pizza place and small store that sells products from their namesake farm. But this pizza was a work of art and took me 48 hours to eat. The addition of hot honey drizzled over the cheese was genius and made a great product even better. In the words of Dave Portnoy: "The undercarriage, to die for!"“

“I want to start this off with I am a person who loves trying new places and sitting inside to eat, but unfortunately most places are too packed, loud and overwhelming for me to sit inside and eat. However, this place was not only a safe and quiet place, but it's a tucked away little sweet place with a couple galleries to walk around before or after you eat, or if there's a wait, or just in general if you are an art enthusiast as myself. There is more than enough seating available. And even some outdoor seating with a little area to move around if you have kids that need to run around a bit or are high energy.Food wise. I highly recommend the falafel burger and tater tots. They were both super crispy and so flavorful. Not many places can perfect the falafel, however, i think this place has got it figured out! The side portions are on the snaller side. So, I do recommend getting your own rather than getting an order to split, unless you have a more sensitive stomach or fill up quickly, then it is the perfect amount!The workers were very sweet and attentative if we needed anything.Overall left happy and fed, and 100% comfortable the entire time!“

“This is my kind of place. Whether you're looking for a sunny outdoor patio, a cozy indoor reading book, a nice bar/brewery, or a mix of all the above - you will find it here.Good music indoors and out on the patio. Eccentric decor with a variety of places to sprawl out. Perfect for a sunny, breezy Saturday afternoon. Staff were all friendly and efficient. Food is amazing. My wife and I got the Detroit style "I need a margarita" pizza and some Korean bbq wings. The pizza was immaculate and the wings were a fun change up from what were used to. Drinks were strong and made with care.If we weren't moving in a month, we'd be spending a lot more time here. Hoping to get a chance to lounge in the cafe sometime before we move downstate!“

“Best health and wellness place around!! Amazing smoothie bowls, toast and smoothies, delivered from the most friendly staff. Always walk in there and see smiles on their faces. Can’t go wrong with any item on the menu! The vibes are super chill and very clean. 1000/10 recommend!!!“

“Dive bar with craft beer, doesn't get much simpler.The outside is a bit deceiving since they have tables tucked on the other side of the room for additional seating.No food at all but packaged goods to go. About 12 craft beers on tap, chill vibe overall.“

“We ordered the dinner for two and we have enough left over for a couple more! Very good chicken, pulled pork and brisket for sure, as well as the coleslaw, parmesan fries, and the garlic herb potatoes! Surprisingly not that busy for a Friday afternoon!“

“Aside from anything else, I like this is one of the few indoor friendly dog options in the area. Most of the time I'm very happy to and even prefer sitting outside but it's nice to have the indoor option in cool, cold or rainy weather. Beers are good (with a huge selection) and there is a food truck permanently on premises that serves some good BBQ. The space is nice and they even have hooks on the tables for the dog leashes so you don't have to tie them up to the chair legs or table column. Little things like this are a nice touch for a dog owner who doesn't like to leave their dogs at home if it isn't absolutely necessary.“

“Location is a little weird but from there it just gets better. Nice indoor space with open air in the warmer months. Outdoor dog friendly seating area (though it's not covered and exposed to the rain/sun). Fortunately the day we went it stopped raining after we did a hike with the dogs and the bartender offered to set us up a table so we could bring the dogs out of the car. They do offer food and it seems like they might be experimenting a bit with the menu. Tacos were OK. Not bad, but considering we just ate very good authentic Mexican tacos in Clifton Park the day before it might be unfair to judge them. Great selection of beers and looking at the brewers (owners) it seems they have totally different taste and that is why there is such a high-quality offering of vastly different beers. The person I was with ordered opposite spectrum beers as me, so we got a good feel. They also have ciders which is great for your non beer drinking friends/family.“

“I needed a space where I could focus on getting my work done. On the day I visited The Palette (Saratoga Springs), I was nervous, but those fears soon disappeared. I was greeted warmly by Marcella, the COO. She introduced me to two other visitors and we spent the next two hours just learning about each other. By the end of that meeting, I knew I was going to become a member. The Saratoga Springs location is right in the heart of bustling Broadway. It's the perfect location. There are several shared spaces, a few small rooms, and some larger rooms. You can reserve a room ahead of time in case you need to jump on a Zoom call or have a meeting. There is also a small kitchen area that is stocked with water, tea, snacks, and wine! That's such a nice touch. As a member, you have access to a new printer. The Palette has two locations. I've only been to the one in Saratoga Springs. The other location is in Schenectady. I'm excited that The Palette holds many networking events. It's a great way to meet like minded people. If you need a co-working space, look no further. I highly recommend joining The Palette.“

“While out and about in Saratoga Springs, NY I stumbled upon this cafe. It was nearing closing time on a weekday so nobody was there but me, and the interior of the place was pretty clean and cozy. I sat for a while inside and enjoyed my latte. Would definitely go back again.“

“I really like the ambiance of Active Ingredient, I can't wait till it's warmer to try their patio area. All of the bartenders were very nice. They had excellent beers, along with some wine and cocktails for the non-beer drinkers. My husband loved their Amber, and I loved their Freudian Sips, which was a honey Kolsch. Both of their sours had a nice taste as well as their Oryza, which is a Japanese Rice lager. The food was good as well. We got the pretzel as an appetizer, it was nice and buttery. I wish there was just a touch more seasoning . My husband got their Nashville hot chicken sandwich, he didn't offer to share so that speaks for itself. I got their special burger which was a Mac and cheese burger. We both would definitely come again.“

“Best place for a beer and food. Incredie experience every time no matter how many times you visit. Hasnt been a beer that isnt top notch quality, same with food. Staff are incredibly personable, food is as incredible as the service. Would recommend to anyone.“

“Dined on a Tuesday around 4pm and the Eddie F’s Saratoga location did not disappoint!! In the past, we’ve enjoyed both of the Lobster rolls, hot and cold, plus the Lobster Mac and Cheese. Today, we tried the fish fry dinner with fries (delivered to the table with onion rings, but was promptly corrected with a piping hot basket of delicious French fries). I tried the blackened grilled Shrimp, cooked to perfection, served on a toasted hot dog roll with homemade onion rings. Both meals were well seasoned and very much enjoyed. We were the only 2 inside diners and there were 2 orders for take out prepared and picked up while we were there. Our female server was very nice and professional, as was the female cooking in the back of the restaurant. Our only complaint was with the Cole slaw. It was dry cabbage and tasteless, missing either mayo or vinegar, whichever you prefer. We will definitely order and enjoy more of Eddie F’s Seafood in the future!! ? available inside. Parking is hit or miss, sometimes you get lucky and can get a spot out front or one on the side. Definitely worth a visit!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I wish I ate more we only had wings but they were delicious! It was New Year's Eve and we were there for Irish music and beer. Considering it was so busy I am happy to report the extreme kindness of the wait staff. We walked in and the hostess was so inviting and kind on a very hectic night for her I'm sure. I would love to return on a normal night and have a meal. I'm from out of the area. Thank you for your kindness Happy New Year!“

“this place is the CUTEST. came on a weekday afternoon with friends. got some holiday coffee drinks + played some scrabble.the server Cassie was the absolute sweetest. free wifi and plenty of space to chill with friends or get work done. i also loved their coffee. will be backk“

“My group & I really enjoyed our experience at Cantina! We were in town for a couple days and could not have picked a better spot. Cozy, welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, wonderful service. Our waitress Olivia was so lovely and right on top of everything. My friends got skinny margs which were amazing. I got a virgin guava coconut marg 10/10 would recommend to a friend!! The food was all delicious, super fast, perfect amount of spice on everything. Definitely very fresh ingredients. All-around we had a really great experience and will have to come back the next time we're in town.“

“My wife and I were in town for one night but two breakfasts’, both of which we had the pleasure of dining at the Merc. Absolutely chill vibes, late 90s knocks on the radio, BASKET OF BISCUITS…sorry I legit get carried away when describing my experience at the merc, waitress thanked us for our patience as your validly popular restaurant filled up. No! THANK YOU! For your wonderfully fresh ingredients , friendly service and overall great experience.Vegetarian options: I’m not a vegetarian but the menu had a lot of viable or as is options!“

“Back in 2001, when I was a sophomore, I decided to end my pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree. My 3.65GPA, National Dean's List qualification (decided not to send photo or bio for inclusion), and 100% tuition grant, didn't matter. I just pulled the plug. Reinventing the wheel didn't matter as much to me as inventing it did... Yes, I'm salty. And I have a reason to be, unlike those outside the #powersinn&pub. Where the air is crisp, the drinks are strong and steady, every member of staff is in uniform and ready to impress, and from the mouth-watering smell wafting from the kitchen, this Irish Pub is on point! Good thing for them, I'm a straightforward college-drop-out. I'm not interested in neutrality. Apparently that's the job of the degree holders. When you realize that your job is a 4:3 bias and mine is a 4:1, you'll get The Celtic Ranch Power... We only want what we want, and that's to continue our success through collaboration. GREAT JOB TEAM!?#PowersInn&Pub ??#GuinnessKilkennyIrishRedAleNitro?✌️? ?#IrishCoffee??#ReverberationEffect?#MAGAWales“
