I had the "Day After" Turkey Panini with homemade apple stuffing and cranberry mayonnaise. But, the standout was the cup of their award winning chowder to start. It arrived at the table with a crab Rangoon stuff wonton and bacon bits on top. It was amazing!!! The cafe is full of neighborhood love and kindness. The service is amazing: friendly and prompt. And, I couldn't get over the story of how the cafe was inspired. The owners wife died of breast cancer at the age of 42 and this place is his love letter to her memory. If you live within an hours drive time of this place RUN don't walk to try this restaurant. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

What an incredible find!!!!!…read more First and foremost- the service here is wonderful! Our waitress was easily one of the best I have ever had. Friendly, fun and attentive. As for the food- just as great! My husband got pancakes and they were some of the fluffiest pancakes I have ever seen! I had to steal a bite (or a few) and they were moist and buttery. Perfect, really. He also had eggs and hash, which he also enjoyed. I tried a scramble, which was also flavorful. The bacon in the scramble was crunchy, not a piece was soft and chewy... it really made such a difference! The home fries were seasoned, but not overly so with crunchy bits here and there. Basically we can't wait to come back here- this was one of our best breakfasts out ever!

Fast forward to July '26...Came back to Johnstown for a visit and discovered Rail Side Cafe on Perry St. just a few blocks north of where I lived! A converted home with a friendly staff and fresh baked items as well. Our waitress made me feel like my mom was asking me what I wanted for breakfast. My wife loved the cinnamon swirl French toast, and my western omelet was excellent. Of course I had to try the sausage gravy and a homemade biscuit The biscuit was surprisingly light and fluffy and the gravy was worthy of being southern!

I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.
