“Hands down the best restaurant around Saratoga county! The 5star service to the amazing food and love that they always have a couple amazing vegetarian options . Ohh and the dessert ! Best around by far! Love love love Next Door Kitchen“

“Stopped in for dinner with my wife and daughter and decided to try the Chicken Parm — my favorite meal but one that often disappoints. Not this time. It was perfect: just the right thickness, crisp breading, smothered in mozzarella, and topped with a sauce that had a great garlic flavor. Easily one of the best I’ve had anywhere. I snagged a bite of my wife’s prime rib and that was excellent too. Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the bread with garlic oil before the meal was a nice touch. No starter salad, but the generous portions made up for it. If you’re a Chicken Parm fan, this spot is absolutely worth the stop!“

“Food is wonderful. Wait staff very well informed. We always ask for Janelle as our Server. My wife loves the Duck recipes and the Escargot. We can’t wait for October fest. We are there every week for the month of October“

“Scallions offers several vegetarian options. I ordered the Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl. Tofu was supposed to be grilled but definitely wasn’t. The citrus vinaigrette was a bit overpowering. The dish came to the table hot and I enjoyed it other than what I mentioned here. Pistachio ricotta cake was delicious.“

“Great food and service. Their soup is always delicious.“

“Made a last minute reservation sight unseen. Walked in and were seated right away. Server was friendly, pleasant and helpful with recommendations. Food came out fast. I had the salmon burger and my partner had the fish sandwich. Both delish. Atmosphere is perfect, nice, but not stuffy. Reasonable prices. What a lucky find!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Burgers in town. This is the First time I didn't put ketchup on fries in my life because they needing nothing and they were not loaded with salt. I shared 1 each large onion rings and fries and we could not finish them all. Burgers were on point. Medium rare, pink in the middle, and the cheese was fully melted. In between customers everyone was constantly straightening up and keeping the place neat and clean. There is no reason to go any place else.“

“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.“

“Always friendly service, great options on the menu (they make custom changes), happy hour specials, and they have a great event schedule! Don’t forget to come in for your birthday- wings or clams or n the house!!! When we go for a birthday celebration we always get deer off the menu and get drink specials as well!!! I would suggest the Eggplant stack but ask for the Lisa Special- pesto instead of marinara!!! It’s absolutely to die for!!!“

“Cobb Salad - generous and delish - allthe classic ingredients including nice chunks of avacado!“

“The hot dogs are the best“

“Love the wings!!! As a matter of fact I’m going to try the wing special for the week today. It’s orange and ginger, sounds amazing!!“

“I still can't believe I get cured from breast cancer after 2yrs with the help of Dr MOMOH I must confess is a life restorer, Follow him and order for cure in any kind of disease.“

“We used Ted’s for our work picnic and what a hit it was. Jon arrived on time, set up quickly and everyone enjoyed the custom menu he set up for us! Top tier communication as well as service and of course food. We can’t wait to have Ted’s back next year!!“

“Great place to relax after the Track“

“Literally anything and everything is great about this place. The vibes are perfect 👌 food is AMAZING 👏 & the server's were warm welcoming & very friendly the whole time🙏 This restaurant definitely deserves 5 stars🙌“

“We came in tonight, a party of 10 adults and 4 kids, for my dad's surprise 60th birthday and Ronnie was our waiter. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely friendly, everything was exceptionally clean, and service was absolutely outstanding. Ronnie was extremely attentive, sparked up lots of conversation with everyone, gave recommendations, and really took the time to include the kids (menu options, brought plain butter for their bread, etc). The food was outstanding, drinks were delicious and kept full, and we all left very very satisfied. For a majority of the party, it was our first time dining at Jacob and Anthony's, and there is no doubt that we will all dine there again.

Huge props to Ronnie for an absolutely perfect night for my dad and the exceptional service you gave. We cannot thank you enough!“

“Great condition and great staff! Thank you for your hospitality!“

“I loved the food same with my kids and service was amazing! The atmosphere though there were bugs on the floor everywhere and it was disturbing and disgusting because they were eating old food off the floor…“

“I have read past reviews about horrible service and do not agree. The service is a little on the slow side however you are there for an entire afternoon so it was never a problem. Also our hostess, waitress and all the support help were all delightful and a pleasure to converse and joke with. I have also seen complaints about pricing. Well you are at the track and it is expensive. There are picnic areas out back with free tables that you can bring your own food and beverages and not many sporting or entertainment venues allow that. Also a $20 cheese platter had plenty on it and the Barrata salad was delicious. I was not impressed with the chicken tenders and fries but she enjoyed them. Beers and drinks were a little pricey but no more than you would pay at a pro sporting event or concert and the drinks were made well. You throw in the atmosphere of being at the greatest horse racing track in the world and it makes for a very pleasurable afternoon. Saratoga Race Track has one of the most professional and courteous staff I have experienced. I would recommend The Porch to anyone. It is worth a few extra bucks for the exciting atmosphere and view and I already mentioned the wonderful staff.“

“Great professional service by Delia. she was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. good food quality and large portions. I'll be back.“

“First time eating here, ordered breakfast to go and the food was so good! Cheap fast and delicious I’m happy I found out about here!“

“I really enjoyed this dining experience at the track. The staff was all extremely friendly and welcoming. They were also helpful at check in for the club, as it was our first time visiting the races. The food was pretty good, and the service was excellent!“

“Authentic, delicious, Italian cuisine...like a fancy version of Sundays and holidays growing up. Danny's sauce recipe is printed on a flour sack in a frame on the wall (very close to Mom's) so those of us who cook can savor the taste at home. Everything our party of 4 ordered exceeded expectations and was served up by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The Veal Danny and eggplant in particular....so, so good. Chocolate cake with pistachio cream and a fine cup of coffee to end the meal....now that's perfection!“

“Whenever I order from here, they always provide great food, never forgetting an item.“

“Service was amazing. Food was amazing and talking to the locals was awesome. One of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time.“

“Ashley was our server and he was such a pleasure from the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left. He made sure we were comfy at all times and was super attentive despite being the only one working in the dining area at the time. My wife and I felt so welcome and appreciated. We came for restaurant week ($35 3 course meal/ person) during our anniversary weekend, and we both enjoyed churro sundaes for dessert, preceded by our entrees (butternut squash tortellini, beer braised short rib) and appetizers (apple pumpkin bisque, maple pulled pork sliders). I want to come back in the future as some of their regular menu items looked great.“

“We have stumbled on this place unexpectedly while roaming through the park and food was delicious, freshly made and tasty. Fries and sweet potatoe fries are amazing, the burger was grill cooked to perfection and not only tasted but also smelled delicious. Quesadilla and BLT were also great!“

“Amazing food and a great vibe, surprising to find at a hotel bar/restaurant. Sat at the bar and had dinner after a very long travel day. Kristi took EXCELLENT care of us! We were so excited to stumble upon this gem.“

“I can’t say enough about Hamlet and Ghost and I am not an easy person to impress. The intimate lighting and stylish decor create an inviting space that feels both special and comfortable—perfect for a date night or a celebratory dinner with friends. The drinks were very good. Each cocktail is crafted with precision, utilizing fresh ingredients and innovative combinations. Whether you prefer something classic or are in the mood for a daring concoction, the skilled mixologists here have you covered. Each dish we ordered was not only a feast for the eyes but also an unforgettable experience for the taste buds. The ingredients are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The chefs have managed to master the balance of flavor, texture, and presentation, making each dish a singular entity of culinary artistry. Impeccable service is another hallmark of Hamlet and Ghost. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food and drink offerings. In conclusion, Hamlet and Ghost is an extraordinary dining destination that masterfully combines outstanding drinks, unforgettable food, and impeccable service in a memorable atmosphere. The complexity and texture of the dishes will linger in your memory, prompting you to return again and again. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough—if you’re looking to treat yourself to an extraordinary culinary experience, this is the place to be.“

“Good food at great prices. Loved our waitress Bridget“

“We both have to say that every serving of our dinners from soup, salad, the bread, meal and dessert was exceptional. The filet mignon was the best I ever had. Outside seasoned perfectly and grilled, the inside was soft as butter. Delicious!“

“This place is the only affordable option in the casino. We play it safe and order the cheeseburgers that were very good. At least the burger was big enough to tie me over for the rest of the night. The friendly staff is why we gave Lucky Joe's a four star rating. The only complaint would be that the mac and cheese was nasty, made in old oil.“

“Great experience! Atmosphere and service were top notch.“

“great food FAST definitely fast food was hot an didn't taste old... great staff the kid grabbing our stuff was sweet an our waitress... wish the words ONLY TAKES CASH was a lil bigger on door. Cost me 4$ with my bank fees an their ATM other than that 10/10 would recommend“

“Miles is the best server believe it or not I ever had. Very attentive he understood our needs before we even ask for anything. I’ve eaten here over 100 times and by far the best service I have had. Thank you, Lynne.“

“We were there on June 4th Unbeknownst to us it was the start of Belmont week in Saratoga. The city was mobbed with people great to see. But not great on walk in dining. We were told it would be an hour wait because of all the reservations they had. This was not part of our plan of course. We then spotted an outdoor table in the shade. We grabbed it and the rest is history. We were greeted by Eli our server who by the way is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to craft beer. He managed to recommend beers for all three of us that were delicious. Outstanding job Eli. We shared a spicy little pizza and a charcuterie board and both were awesome. What a great experience from start to finish. great beer and food spells a good time and we will be back for more in the future“

“Great food and service“

“We recently enjoyed a company holiday event in the VIP room at The Bunker. The food and drinks were fantastic (the potstickers in particular), and the space was perfect for our group. Emily and her team were very accommodating to us on short notice. We’ll definitely be back!“

“My husband and I have been going to Pennel's ever since we were dating in 1963. This is our every family occasion celebration restaurant. Birthdays, anniversaries, even before holiday gatherings are held at Pennell's. It has been a part of our family tradition for over 60 years, and I just know our children will continue it for years to come. Great meals and memories! Thank you Pennell's.“
