We have been enjoying Smith's pies for a good ten years. When we stopped in to pick up an apple…read morepie for our Thanksgiving dinner we stumbled across what turned out to be an unexpected treat. Next to the register was a small package wrapped in red & white string, labeled "Bonnie's Uncommon Fruitcake." I've been a sucker for trying fruitcakes ever since I had my first slice of Freihofer's Fruitcake over seventy years ago. Here was a locally baked fruitcake with no difficult to pronounce or preservative ingredients. That definitely made it "Uncommon." Pecans, dates, candied fruit (cherries, pineapple), eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. That's it! I thought it tasted delicious. It was not overly sweet, had a good amount of nuts and candied fruit, and there was minimal cake (flour) holding it all together perfectly. I don't know where else you might be able to find this delicious fruitcake, but not to worry. Bonnie Nicolosi provided the following information on the fruitcake for you to contact her. Bonnie@NicolosiGroup.com (518) 588-0304 Hopefully, she distributes her treats to a place near you or can accommodate you in another fashion. Check out my photos for a mouthwatering encouragement!

CALLING ALL LOCALS! WILLOW MARSH IS IN TROUBLE! I went to Willow Marsh recently, and the owner told…read moreme that because of a recent incident with their cows, they lost their entire herd of milking cows! This is an incredible tragedy as there was no milk or yogurt or even beef in Willow Marsh when I went. They are creating a petition for their local bank to apply for a loan to buy back their dairy cows. But they need support from the community to convince the bank that they are a good investment. If you read this, please go into Willow Marsh and lend them your support. They have a milk subscription that they are trying to sell, so the bank knows that this is a vital service to our community. Please please help as local farms are becoming more and more rare. This one is owned by a local family and they work super hard to bring these local products to us.

Lakeside Farms is such a treat! We ordered some pies ahead of Thanksgiving and decided to grab some…read morelunch while we were there. The place was packed, but the lines were always moving. Service was exceptionally friendly and they have something for everyone. They have a general store, fresh market and a gift shop. We perused all of them and took home some baked goods along with holiday decorations. My turkey sandwich was simple, yet delicious. I also enjoyed their selection of sodas and beverages with cane sugar.

This Stewart's is now located on Lakehill Road in Burnt Hills. The grand opening of the new…read morebuilding was in January 2019, and I believe most of the staff carried over to the new location as it is just down the street from this one. I am rating this Stewart's five stars primarily because the new store is fabulous and because they employ some great individuals like MaryBeth who did a great job on multiple occasions, even a few months back at the previous location when I think she was new to the job. With that said, there is also an associate here named Caitlin (spelling?) who must have learned customer service from a rock. I was "waited on" by her once. Not only did she groan when having to get up and meet me at the counter, she barely spoke but sounded absolutely pissed when she did. I felt like I needed an exorcism after interacting with her to cleanse myself of her demonic spirit. Other than that, I love the place!!

I was belittled and humiliated by the manager today. Now I see why they are closing. I was told I…read morecould have the 10 by 8 inch picture of my son's baseball team that was hanging over in the corner by the bathroom. I signed up for it and took it yesterday. Today I was confronted by two managers that they were going to have me arrested if i didn't return the picture. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. They said there general manager told them to call the police if it wasn't returned. Let me remind everyone this is a very small picture hidden over in the corner of the bathroom that I signed to get. The picture frame may be worth $5.00 at most. I won't even get in to the fact that I have been by far their best customer over the years. WOW is all I can say. I'm embarrassed for Applebees.

We did wait a little long to get our order taken, but it was pretty busy, and after that everything was quick and surprisingly delicious. We first started with the mozzarella sticks and the spinach dip. The mozzarella sticks were pretty good, but the spinach dip was absolutely delicious. Shortly afterward, my bacon cheeseburger came out, and I have to say that it was really good. The burger was cooked perfectly, the bacon was crisp, the cheese was delicious, and the french fries were amazing. If there was any complaint, I would say that the fries had a little too much salt on them, but beside that everything was really great. I know this place gets a bad rap because it's a chain restaurant, and I also have had bad experiences in the past, but this time around was a really great time, with great food, and I would be happy to go back again. Again what we do is

I think it's mixed here, with some good, some not as good…read more Let's start with gas. If you're familiar with the area, you know that gas prices tend to be competitive in the Ballston Spa area. In fact, if you drive about 1 mile west on NY 67, over to where it intersects with NY 50, you'll find four other gas stations with considerably cheaper gas prices - 15 cents a gallon less today than here. That includes another Stewart's. Stewart's will keep their prices competitive when they're competing with other stations. But there's no other stations near this one. Hmmm... They must do a really good food to go business here, as more than half of the inside is devoted to it, including coffee, breakfast sandwiches, hot dog and other hot food stations, etc. There's several booths at which to eat here as well. The walls are lined with coolers, so good options for dairy, beer, etc., less so for other types of items on the small number of shelves. There are not 1 but two single-stall bathrooms here, and they were very clean today, essentially spotless. So perhaps they got the word from an earlier review or a complaint? The parking lot is busy and crowded, and it can be challenging getting back onto NY 67 during busy times of the day, as traffic backs up at the light. So my verdict: Drive the extra mile over to Route 50 for your gas, then drive here, wash your hands in the clean restroom, and get your food here.

A friend lives around the corner and I have driven past here several times, and on those occasions…read moredecided to stop by. During the beginning of the pandemic in the spring, they had several things I wanted at attractive prices that I couldn't find anywhere (cereal, ramen noodles). Their selection of hot food (pizza, hot dogs, etc.) is hit or miss both in terms of available and quality, but I have enjoyed their pizza when it was there. The store is one of the newer, "larger" Stewarts that seems set up to rival Cumberland Farms. Because of the roundabouts, getting here wasn't intuitive for me in the dark but I digress. Like most Stewarts, it is a good place for gas, a few treats, and perhaps ice cream.
