Pros: - takes credit card and cash…read more- hard ice cream selections - nice ambiance and well lit Cons: - large pot hole in parking lot exit - soft serve flavors are not the best One thing I can say about their staff is they're very efficient! Love the texture of the ice cream and I have enjoyed both visits this season. They have light and uplifting music playing with areas set away from the parking lot and roadway. It is lit with string lights and has a more adult date night vibing area to the right of the windows. My ice cream was lopsided, but otherwise, it was a great experience! So if the lines are long, just know they'll get to you usually within 5-10 minutes. No wildly long waiting time. Parking is a bit challenging. We will be back this season and hopefully see some new soft serve flavors debuts as the season progresses!

Our group of 4 people walked in a little after 8:00. We noticed the employees cleaning the floor…read morebut double checked that they closed at 8:30. After paying we tried to sit down but the two girls were already staking chairs for closure. We found a dirty table with four chairs and began eating. Next they started spraying cleaner all along the baseboard of the window. The smell of the cleaning detergent was overpowering and another family got up and left. The workers then announced from behind the register that they were closing in ten minutes. They proceeded to close down all the toppings but the smell was so bad we went outside to finishing eat our desserts. Why don't they close at the posted 8:30 time and then clean and close up the shop? It was so cold outside and not enjoyable to eat with the chemical smells in the shop. Such a disappointment.

That fright disappears quickly though once you're inside. Bruce, the owner, is happy to school you in the 5 sauces, and also give you ice cream samples. He makes everything right here. It's a passion project for him and frigg'n delicious. He's happy to talk..... about anything. He's just happy you're here. There are a couple tables that you can sit at inside. But beware, despite its proximity to Saratoga, this is the furthest thing from pretentious. If you're looking for a sit-down dinner with waiters.... This Ain't It. The ice cream is flavorful, unique, and easy to keep going. The strawberry lemon ice is INSANELY delicious. You can taste the freshness of the berries. Soooo good. Soooo refreshing. It's perfect. Well... maybe a hint of a mint leaf might be nice. The barbecue is spot on. The homemade sauces...just take his advice. Have him sauce the meat she way he wants. You won't be disappointed. The "sampler trough" could use some work. It's delicious, but everyone wants a well parsed out sampler. We want to try it all, Bruce. So... may we suggest some small metal trays for the base. Then... pickles, add the beans, potato salad, Mac n cheese, and some kind of bread to mop it up. We tried it for the first time, and even got "seconds" to go. You should go here, be brave. You'll be rewarded and happy you did.

What a wonderful find. First off, don't be discouraged because it's not on the usual beaten path…read more Imagine it will be like finding a hidden gem. The BBQ is made daily and brisket is definately qualifies as a top ten. 5 different sauces so make sure you order enough to try the variety. I was by myself but look forward to coming back for the rest. I am sure he has a secret rub mix as well as spices he uses. Secondly, save room for the ice cream or gelato. Can't go wrong. Not pre packaged but made with care like everything else. Lastly, owner/proprietor, Bruce is someone who is passionate about his business. You're not eating at a chain. It is not pretentious, just good food you would find at a friends house. That's really the best way to describe the feeling you will leave with. Don't be afraid to ask about anything. Brilliant conversation is hard to come by. So this is a strong recommendation on my must-try list

How have I never done a review of Humpty Dumpty?…read more I've been here many times over the years and always grab something cool and refreshing. There's a decent, but not overwhelming, choice of yummy treats to choose from. Need a non-dairy option? No worries! There's usually a dole whip flavor available. I love the traditional pineapple dole whip but the other flavors are good, too. Stop by and get your ice cream!!!

Pros: - the most soft serve flavors in the area…read more- willing to stack flavors - great sundaes - cute seating area - staff is nice - open until 9 pm most evenings Cons: - no hard serve ice cream - items not as described, in particular, the "slush float" (a traditional root beer float is ice cream on the bottom and soda poured on top) is 90% slushie and 10% ice cream put on the top - ice cream began melting prior to receiving it (temp 65° outside) - slow service - parking lot is not safe as the lines are not maintained by line guides Tips: - cash only business We chose Humpty Dumpty due to good experiences previously. We had some challenges on our visit to include slow service and line formation was confusing and awkward as we were in one line going into the drive traffic. We originally ordered a medium soft serve cone and a slush float which was made backwards from the traditional float where the ice cream is placed on the bottom and is usually the equivalent of two scoops of ice cream and then the liquid, so in this instance slush. We received 90% slush and a dollop of ice cream on the top. It was really a major disappointment. Especially, because the slush is $2.50 and a slush "float" is $4.75. That was NOT at $2.75 worth of ice cream. Unfortunately, it was so bad i had to wait in line a second time because my son refused to consume it. When I got to the window, I explained that a float traditionally has the ice cream on the bottom, but this was met with lack of empathy and me paying for another item. The slush "float" was thrown out and the clerk knew it was getting thrown out, but we happily paid full price for our disappointment. I've never heard of a float having the ice cream on the top and wanted to make sure to add this to the review to avoid you having disappointment as well. I'm not doing well at the terms and lingo for this business. I ordered a medium ice cream in a dish to go. I've never seen an ice cream be overflowing like a cone in a dish. Had the medium ice cream melted, it would be everywhere and definitely did not fit the dish size. There is a small seating area to the side, but please be careful, the parking lot is not well lit and people will come in at 15 mph and not yield to pedestrians. I don't think we'll be back this season. Maybe next year we can try again. This years staff isn't vibing with our expectations.

My friend and I have been to nearly all of the golf courses in this part of the State but never…read moreeven heard about this place until last week. Apparently, it opened within the past 5 years and it shows: everything looks to be in really nice shape. A GPS or map is handy to find this place, though, as it is off the beaten path and we nearly drove by it. Their website lists different hoursthan what their phone message says, so I would call first and hope to talk to a real person. The course is mostly grass carpet lined with bricks. There are very few ways to get your ball "off course" unless you hit it too hard adn bounce out or have it roll back. There are no tee-markers at the start of each hole. The main challanges are based on hills/slopes.. there are no windmills, water areas, sand traps, etc. to speak of. Thus, it was very straightforward if not a bit uninspired. In fact, some holes had what apparently looked like easy shots but I took the hard way just to try out the course and challenge myself. The holes did not have metal cups in them, so there were not any rims to deflect slow moving balls from dropping in. However, the thickness of the carpet all around the holes made them marginally smaller. Each hole has a history of Saratoga on a sign. There was a lounge area part-way through, and the large water feature was nice. They serve ice cream, including ice cream nachos (sounds yummy) and milkshakes, and we were told a nearby pizza place was opening in a few weeks. If you like to smoke pot (I don't), they have marajuana-themed nights as well.

Walking in, I was transported to a small gelato shop in Italy with warm lighting and photos across the store. I wasn't too sure what to get, I wanted both the tiramisu and the salaried caramel pretzel - the cashier was happy to suggest I get both! She even suggested I taste test them, but I just went for the double scoop. The gelato was creamy snd extremely flavorful without being too sweet. With the ambiance, the array of flavors, and the variety of cones to mix and match, this may just be my favorite sweet treat place in Saratoga!

I usually come to this store just for gas. That's not because I don't like their grocery/dairy…read moreitems, it's because I tend to buy those in the Stewart's shops closer to (mom's) home. The gas here is currently billed as Shell, which is unusual for the area. That's because (a) Most Stewart's shops don't list a brand of gas (and you don't always know from where they're getting it), and (b) the other gas stations the Stewart's company owns in the area are typically Mobil. The gas here is priced comparably to the stations along Route 50 in the Wilton area, such as near the shopping centers. Their lure has been to honor the Price Chopper/Market 32 Advantage Card discount. This is a convenient spot to get basic groceries without having to deal with any of the "big box" grocery stores in the Wilton shopping area, and I think a lot of people already know that. Navigating the parking lot can get crazy sometimes. You've got parking spaces around the shop, and additional spaces on the outside of the lot, plus all the cars pulling in and out for gas. Mind you, that's entering and exiting on both NY50 and Jones Road. Navigate carefully.

This location doesn't have made-to-order subs but does have pre-made subs (in the cooler) as well as pizza slices, hot dogs, etc. Of course it also has all the rest you would expect at a Stewart's. There are 6 tables inside and 4 outside, 2 of which are off to the side by some trees. There are 6 gas pumps. It has a big parking lot with lots of spaces around the side.

Who would've thought that I'd be writing a review for a gas station? I never did, but I happened…read moreto hear about Stewart's Shops when researching what to do in Vermont, so I figured we had to try one out. I gather they began in Saratoga Springs, NY, and moved into Vermont, as well. We tried this one across the street from the Saratoga Springs Hilton where we stayed, and it was very clean inside (according to my husband who went inside). I had also read they have terrific ice cream, so guess what, we tried some. I stupidly left it up to my husband to "surprise me," and while they are known for amazing flavor choices, and thinking he KNOWS how I like unusual and interesting flavors, he walks out with a mix of vanilla and chocolate. Are you kidding me? It was especially difficult for me to keep my mouth shut because I was pissed off, but he was kind enough to get it for me and bring it out, so I could just wait in the car. I have to say, though, I quickly went from anger at the boring ice cream flavors to extreme enjoyment because it was some of the BEST vanilla and chocolate ice cream I had ever eaten. Truly delicious. I was definitely thinking we'd get some different flavors at other Stewart's Shops in the ensuing days of our travels, but as many as we ended up seeing along our way, we never did stop at any. Don't know why, but we didn't, and so, this was our only time to enjoy their wonderful ice cream !! Next time we are in the area of a Stewart's Shop, I will make sure we can get more ice cream. It's divine.

Of all the Stewarts in downtown Saratoga, this is my favorite. It's bigger inside, which makes more…read moreroom for additional shelving of junk food. The ceilings are high and the parking lot is shaded, giving it an oddly stately ambience. And it's less crowded so more chance to grab a seat when I come in for my deli dogs. (though there's also less seating... minus one star for that.) If you're in town for a convention, go across the street and savor a scoop of local history. Stewart's headquarters is nearby in Greenfield, and the Dake family is a big supporter of local groups and activities.
