“Love Babe’s. I’ve always put it at the top of my breakfast places to eat. Great small town atmosphere that is very rare these days as far as I can see. Paula and Patti have a real winning place to get a great breakfast with big portions for a very fair price. Check it out.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“The Tavern has been in business a long time. Used to be called The Clam Steam Tavern. Was and maybe still is, a popular country music venue. My dad was a country and western singer and played there a lot in the 50's. Maybe even in the late 40's. A nostalgic band stand and dance floor is still there and looks like it is in use. The food is standard bar food but very good. I do not eat seafood however my wife does and really likes the clams. Enjoy eating on the outside porch. Will be back this summer.“

“Wonderful experience!!

The staff is very friendly and hospitable. Veteran’s get 10% discounts. Food is REALLY good!!

Our family of 5 visited this afternoon 9/27 for lunch (11:40 am). Our 6 year old had a great time golfing and playing the fooseball table while waiting for his turn. Its beautifully set up!! We booked the VIP room (designed to accommodate up to 20, with 11 comfortable bar stools, a bistro table with 5 available tall cushioned chairs, 2 regular height cushioned chairs that are wide to accommodate everyone, and 2 couches on either side of the fooseball table). Not too expensive either. We will definitely add this hot spot to our family outings rotation!!

I personally was super impressed with my order of crispy onion rings, the dipping sauce I liked most, looked like a thousand island in color but had a mild savory bacon flavor. We did order the mozzarella bread which was gone in less than 5 minutes (devoured by my picky eaters).

My husband had the Back Nine Burger. Presentation was good, but once smooshed together for the 1st bite... the juices flowed indicating perfection to the Medium-rare request. The smell was very pleasant and perfectly blended ingredients boosting each with wonderful complimentary flavors of beef, white cheddar and bacon. The fries were exceptional mimicking my home made steak fries made fresh from potatoes (never previously frozen).

***The Blackberry Spritz is phenomenal!!***“

“Nice atmospheric“

“Western Ave location has employees smoking in outdoor eating areas. Way to ruin your Healthy food outlook My meal was ruined“

“We had a funeral June 28 2025 in Waterford and the day before the family decided on having a luncheon after the services. We didn’t think we would find a place and on Graduation weekend made the odds more against it, My husband Tom and Brother in Law Keith stopped in McGrieveys and Terry said he could accommodate us. ( even though we didn’t know how many people.). Terry went above and beyond taking orders, bartending, and bringing out the food. We Thank you Terry and McGrieveys staff for accommodating us on such short notice and a difficult day for our family. The Brown family“

“We love the RB, going there, the music, etc. Food is very good, great pizza. Recently did take out of 2 melts, delicious. Couple things though... 1) really really irks me when anyone i'm paying doesnt say thanks, thank you, etc. It was take out, I even gave a nice tip. Say thank you - goes a long way. 2) fries were Ok, not great, pasty and just eh, 3) salad greens were disgusting. Inedible, tasted like they were in dirty water, and 4) parking lot was thrashed. this was sat, so cleanup from friday should've been done. Empty bottles, cans, etc. Gross. We'll go back, but it will be a bit.“

“Had the Hot Italian Panini and it was fantastic. The outdoor atmosphere was great, will definitely be back.“

“We had my daughters wedding here this past weekend and our experience was AMAZING. We wanted our reception there and Michelle and Tina were so easy to work with and very accommodating, with many helpful suggestions. Then a couple of weeks ago the ceremony venue fell through - Michelle to the rescue! Her response is almost always “no problem, we can help you”. They left their beach bar tent up an extra week, cleaned it out, helped us set it up and even painted over a sign for us! It ended up being a beautiful space for the ceremony. The reception.. the food was delicious, the service was impeccable.. not intrusive but friendly and always there. We are so happy we chose Dock Browns - it was a perfect day we will remember forever.“

“the gluten free pizza was AMAZING!! And the price was great!! Will definitely be going back!!!“

“B-rads catered my wedding recently. It was by far the best food i have had. For cocktail hour was had bacon wrapped Pierogies, chicken and waffle skewers, coconut shrimp. There was also this massive charcuterie table that everyone was talking about. For dinner we had pulled pork, lemon pepper chicken, and brisket. Sides were mac n cheese, slaw, salad, corn bread, rolls ect. Everything was SO good. The brisket fell apart and was amazing. My husband loved the mac n cheese (it was amazing also). Everyone talked about how amazing the food was. Pricing was good also. They were great to work with leading up to the wedding and even called a couple days before hand to make sure we didn’t need anything else. 10/10 recommend them to cater any event!“

“a great place to to when feeling down a blue . to pick up your spirits. and have a great time thank you for all you do .“

“We went to Norrine's for dinner last night and it's definitely a "do over"! I got the stacked fried haddock. It's out of this world! Our waitress Kathy was very accommodating and very funny. We never laughed so hard!Our entire dining party was impressed with everything. Kudos to the chef. We will be back! Five Star for sure!“

“We had a retirement party for my husband in the banquet room downstairs. Highly recommend. Very bright, nicely decorated, private, and kid friendly. Joan their event coordinator was absolutely amazing from beginning planning to end. Great to work with. She made the evening so stress free. We hope to have more events in the banquet room.“

“Ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza. Had a pretty long wait for said pizza was told it’ll be ready in 20 minutes which I arrived on time and waited another 30. The other unfortunate part was when I got home I realized my chicken bacon ranch pizza was actually a bacon ranch pizza. However things happen it’s a Saturday they seemed busy“

I had the bacon jam burger and it was delicious! I was satisfied,it's been a long time since i devoured my meal. Our drinks were ok too.“

“😗I ate here today for the first time. I had a delicious Gyro wrap! The service at the counter was exceptional, (and the waiter without hair, super cute!)“

“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!“

“Great waitress, friendly and very helpful“

“Wheatfields makes their own pasta. They have 3 gluten-free options for pasta which is just unheard of for most restaurants. I ordered the shrimp and spinach dish on gluten-free linguine. It was savory and absolutely delicious. We love their truffle fries so we ordered those too and they were as good as I remembered. They come with garlic aoli sauce.

The atmosphere is nice with a couple of fireplaces located in the restaurant. There are booths and open tables. There is also a bar and it has seating but I don't know if you can order food from there. My husband got the caramel crunch cake for dessert and he loved it. It was a nice, quiet experience with good food and our server was fantastic.“
