We were absolutely thrilled to have stopped here on our road trip! This place was truly a treat! Extremely warm and thoughtful service and delicious food! We sat outside and even though it started to rain we were completely comfortable because we opened up the umbrella on the table. My husband got a milkshake and said it was delicious. My toddler ate every single bite of his chicken tenders and fries. The appetizer sampler was amazing! The sweet corn nuggets were my personal favorite and my husbands favorite was the wild chiles. We got to pick 2 dipping sauces and we chose Melba raspberry and Cajun ranch. Both delicious and unique! Next time we drive through we would stop here in an instant! read more

We ( me and my two teenage kids) needed a lunch spot en route from Mt. Snow back to NY. I saw this was just past Bennington and got nearly 50 great reviews. It was an extra 5-10 minutes vs another route but we gave it a shot. Was NOT disappointed. I know it may look a little run down from the exterior but to me, that was the charm of the place. The husband-wife establishment has been there 30 years. The chef, aka husband, recovered from a stroke a few years ago with the love and support from his wife in rehab with him. He fought hard with getting back in the kitchen as one of the drivers. The burgers we had showed that same love and effort in each bite. You order by the pound so my son and I got 1 pounders. I think mine was called Charlie's hot mess (pictured here). It was cooked to perfection with juice dripping on each bite. One of the best burgers I've had in years. Tammy, the wife, was super friendly and I felt like I knew her for years after five minutes. The coolest little secret was learning what she and her husband did before this endeavor. You'll have to go and ask her to find out. No spoilers but totally unexpected. Yes, no bathroom and very few seats, but you can order ahead and either get lucky with some seats inside during the winter or hang outside during the summer. Worst case is some amazing takeout to savor in your car parked outside. Didn't sample any of the candies or chocolates or ice cream saucers or cones as we were stuffed and had to hit the road, but will definitely be making this a staple on our VT visits. My only regret was not discovering it sooner. Their story is great and it makes you want to support them at every opportunity, a true mom & pop place. read more

Tammy's Candy Kettle - Candy Stores Near Me - Hoosick Falls, New York

As the old adage goes, never judge a book by its cover! From the outside, it looks like something long retired. A business run by an older couple, who have been at it 31 years. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever experienced. This is not your chain burger joint. You wait while they cook it to order. Worth every minute. Had no room to try their ice cream or other sweet treats. But will return on my next trip through. (Open Friday - Monday) Don't let the look fool you. "A real gem"! read more

Definitely a solid burger from this local tradition that's been in business at the same location for 30 years. If you're looking for ambience or high end service, this isn't the place for you. They don't even have a bathroom! But what they do have are great burgers. You can order up to 2 pounds, which is huge! They serve everything is take out containers so you're so set to bring leftovers with you. We will be stopping in again the next time we're heading to Mt Snow. read more

Just learned about this place, and was surprised it's been there 30 years. Super good food, wonderful owners/cooks. The choice of burgers is amazing. Next time, I'm getting the brunch burger complete with home fries and a fried egg! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The burger gets a 4.5 but as much as I liked it, it's hard to get past the "olden smell" and look of the place. Owner was super nice. Burger was really good. I probably would skip the candy case which might help my overall review. Go ahead, get a burger to go. read more

If we hadn't seen the red OPEN light woulda thought this place was an old abandoned restaurant. Elderly folks Tammy & Charles wonderful people keeping the place going by themselves. The burgers made with love were up there with the best I've ever had. Delicious little homemade candy shop too. Americana Panorama at its best. read more

First the positive. Tammy is so nice. She made us feel welcome and did tell us that they had recently reopened after a 3 year hiatus with her husband's recovery from a stroke. I ordered a 1/2 lb bacon cheese burger with fries and coleslaw. Fries and coleslaw were top rate fresh and delicious. . Burger was good but nothing incredible. We sat down in a small chair by the window and realized the curtain was black with grime. The other point is tammy's disposable mask was really soiled and hard to look at. I would have felt much better if she had a fresh disposable mask on. I wanted to rate lower but giving it a 3 with the hope they are able to get back to where they used to be read more

Excellent chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. Burger was also good. Tammy was great and friendly to talk to. Would highly recommend.

If you aren't looking for this place you will drive right by. It is in an old house with antiques dotting the landscape. There is minimal seating inside, but it is worth the stop. This is family owned and the menu has anything you could want. Service was friendly and fast. We ordered burgers and they are cooked to order. This was quite possibly the best burger I have had in ages! They also sell homemade candy! read more

We've passed by this restaurant on daily basis through the years. Honestly we thought it was closed. The place needs an upkeep. The owner Tammy was very nice and accommodating. They have ice cream, no candies at this time. Lots of vintage items for sale and to look at while waiting for food. We were glad to have stopped today. Got Cajun burger and grilled Reuben both were delicious. Prices were decent as well. We will definitely come back. read more

Big fat delicious burger. I've been driving past this place for years, but I'm stopping here more often from now on. SUPER nice people, too!

Overwhelmingly the first impression was that the whole restaurant smelled like cat pee. Although the food is highly rated, we couldn't get past that one issue. Sadly it's winter and cold out so eating outside was not an option. read more

We had heard some good reviews about the charbroiled burgers at Tammy's and were very excited when the open sign was still lit on our way back from a great day of kayaking. My girlfriend ordered a quarter pound bacon cheeseburger I ordered the 1 pound three cheese bacon burger. The burgers can be ordered in size increments from half pound to 2 pound. They have nice seating outside on picnic tables on their deck as well as some indoor seating. We ate enjoying the cool summer evening. It took a while to get our burgers, but Tammy did tell us they were very backed up with orders and it would be 45 to 55 minutes to cook them, and it was just about that before we got our food. I can certainly understand why they were backed up with orders once we tasted the burgers. The real delicious beefy flavor of these burgers are what I look for. As I continued to wolf it down I had no doubt that it would be disappearing down my throat in mere minutes even though it was a full pound. The bottom of my bun started falling apart because of the juice from the burger, so I turned the burger upside down to eat it. They might need a strategy to prevent the bottom from deteriorating from the juice. Maybe some mayonnaise on the bottom bun since mayo repels water, or a piece of lettuce or tomato on the bottom. After we were done we got some ice cream from Tammy's, I had an ice cream sandwich with sprinkles which also hit the spot. We can't wait to go back! read more

I think one of the best burger and fries I've ever had. Very unassuming and easy to pass by. Burger was 1/2 pound and char grilled with all basic accoutrements available.... Cheese, bacon , shrooms, etc. Fries were hand cut, greasy and perfectly delicious. If you like burgers and fries, you won't be disappointed. Haven't tried anything else yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if most, or all of their fare was this good read more

Great burgers, Sweet Corn Nuggets, hand cut fries & onion rings made to order, ice cream, milkshakes and delicious handmade chocolates!

Extremely friendly lady with a husband that cooks a DELICIOUS burger. None of that frozen patty stuff, hand crafted ground beef. I loved it. read more

Delicious & juicy Black Angus Burger! Real hand cut French fries. Friendly service. We will be back!

My husband and I came upon this amazing find completely by chance coming home from VT. It's been over a week and we still can't stop licking our chops. The burgers were easily the most deliciously flavored juicy perfectly cooked patties we've ever tasted. Several times a day I wish I could have an order of sweet corn nuggets STAT. Tammy is the exemplar of hospitality as she equally divided her time between us and a large party of rambunctious teens. We can't wait to visit again, we only wish it was closer so we could go right now. Definitely you must plan to stop on any travels to or from that area! read more

probably the best burger I've ever had anywhere. I love Tammy and Charlie and they work hard and treat you like family.

Hidden gem. Drove by many times and finally came in for dinner. Delicious medium-rare burger formed and cooked to order with fresh, crisp lettuce, tomato, and onion. Hand-cut fries were perfect. Tammy and her husband Charlie were the perfect hosts. And we walked out with amazing homemade fudge and just made chocolate-chip cookies. What a treat! read more

Tammy's Candy Kettle - I destroyed it before i had a chance to write the review lol - Candy Stores Near Me - Hoosick Falls, New York

Burgers are only topped by the service! I love this place and wish I lived closer. Service is great and friendly. Burgers are great. Prices are great for the portions. Chocolates are great and reasonably priced as well. Quirky antiques are fun to browse. Perfect stop on the way home to Albany from skiing. And, if you call ahead they will have your burger ready when you arrive. This place is the quintessential "hole in the wall, " and it's well worth the stop. read more

This place makes one of the best burgers. Great service with even better burgers. Tammy knows what's up

We've been to Tammy's Candy Kettle a few times now and it's always been amazing. Burgers are the BEST. Truly a hidden gem in our home town. Tammy is amazing, so kind and welcoming. It is truly the best hometown food. No complaints what so ever! read more

We stopped here for burgers on our way home from Vermont. They were delicious and perfectly cooked. Hit the spot during a long drive. Tammy was super friendly and helpful - even suggesting a better route home in order to avoid the traffic. The patio is a perfect place to sit and relax and enjoy great food. Stop by here! We certainly will on our next trip up north!! read more

So I've passed this retaurant so many times over the years, and, to be honest, it's not the most inviting exterior, and you can't really tell it's open. Well, look past that and give it a shot, it's excellent. We stopped by on a Sunday evening, and Tammy was wonderful. Friendly, welcoming. Excellent burgers and fries, great prices. And her hours are a bit more accommodating than what's listed here. If you call ahead, they will accommodate within reason. This will be our new dinner stop returning from ski weekends. read more

We kept passing by on our way into Bennington from Albany and finally decided to stop by. I love buildings that look older and inconspicuous so I have nothing negative to say about the appearance of the building - I think it adds charm and character! Tammy was nothing but friendly and all around wonderful from the second we walked in until the second we left. I wasn't particularly hungry so I shared a 1/2 lb cheeseburger and Cajun fries with my boyfriend. I also got a maple nut shake for myself. The fries and burger were wonderful - some of the best we've had and certainly better than any chain burger. My favorite thing was the maple shake - I had to have something maple flavored while I was up here and this did not disappoint. I have since returned home to Virginia but I have not shut up about Tammy's and that maple shake! We plan to make plenty more trips up that way and will continue to visit Tammy's each time. I also loved all of the interesting trinkets on display! read more

We have been going back and forth between NJ and VT to ski for 20 years Once we discovered Tammy's Candy Kettle, whenever possible we stop for lunch! Great burgers, onion rings, chili and soups. And the nicest owner that makes you feel at home! A few years ago Tammy had to close due to a family medical problem. We were so sad to learn of her family's medical issues and to learn that she was going to have to close her restaurant and candy shop. We drove to VT today and were so excited to see that Tammy's re-opened!!!! We had to stop, even though we didn't have time to eat. It was great to see Tammy and her husband. Of course, we couldn't leave without some delicious homemade chocolates and a quart of soup! If you find yourself in Hoosick, do stop by! read more

Made a random stop at Tammy's on my way home from a ski trip and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The great burgers, interesting decor/vintage items, and tasty chocolates made this pit stop such a wonderful experience.

Tammy's Candy Kettle - Inside - Candy Stores Near Me - Hoosick Falls, New York

I find myself going for drives to VT on a regular basis. Tammy's is one of those places, I would see every time I went to or from VT. Driving out to VT one day, my daughter said she was hungry and I asked if the nearest place would be ok. She agreed and we happened upon Tammy's Candy Kettle. Lucky us! All I really ever saw from the road, was the word "burger" every time I'd drive by, maybe because I like burgers, who knows. When we walked in, I was a little taken aback. It looked like a candy shop and I thought maybe they'd switched businesses and just kept the old signs. Turns out it's also a candy shop, which explains the name I'd never caught, seeing I had burger vision. The dining room is off of the candy shop area. The menu offers everything from sandwiches, to full dinners. Homemade soup was on the menu and I would have gotten some but the burgers are large. Maybe I'll stop by for lunch one of these days and try it. I got a bbq burger, and requested it medium rare. It came out perfect temp and the burger was very juicy and had a yummy bbq sauce on it. You also get a choice of bread for the burgers, onion roll, white, or wheat. I had the wheat roll and liked it enough to eat most of it. Usually I mostly eat just the burger. Burgers come with cole slaw and fries. I asked them to hold the fries so I could try the onion rings, which were very tasty. Lightly fried with thinly sliced onions on the inside. Works for me, I'm not a fan of big chunky onions that are hard to bite through.The small order is big, by the way. It would easily be enough for a small family. I don't eat cold slaw so I can't comment on that, but it looked good... for a food I don't eat. Service is very attentive and friendly. When we went, there was one waitress who handled both sections of the dining room with both efficiency and personality. As I said Tammy's, is also a candy shop and they have pretty much everything you could ever want candy wise. A good portion of the candy is homemade, which is surprising because the selection is quite large and some chocolates are very detailed. I got some chocolates for my father, who said they were "great" and some various bagged candy for myself and my daughter. The mini jelly fruit slices were seriously yummy! I might stop there just for those, if I'm not up for a meal next time I drive by. A lady I believe to be Tammy herself came out of the kitchen. She was very sweet and had that certain demeanor about her, that made me feel like I'd just had dinner at her house. She told me this was the 17th year for the business. I hope they're around for many more! EDIT 3/11 I had someone ask why I didn't give 5 stars, seeing I liked Tammy's so much. It's not something the business owner can probably help/fix all that easily but the parking situation for me is a bit rough. It was also a bit muddy. Both my issues. If you're a better parker than I am.. which I'm sure you are, you'll be fine. If you don't mind the mud.. which I wouldn't have if I wasn't carrying an infant and a bit nervous about slipping, you'll also be fine. read more

The food service was terrible, as it took 1 hour to get onion rings, a burger, and a BLT. After receiving our food it was a pathetic looking BLT and the Cajun burger was just a burger with premade seasoning on it. The onion rings were the only good item sadly. read more

Something told us to stop here on our way home from Vermont. The char-broiled burgers were phenomenal, the shakes hit the spot, and the service was amazing. Tammy and her husband made us feel right at home with their kind and welcoming atmosphere. Such a cute and cozy little place with lots of beautiful antiques. We came hungry and left with absolutely no room in our bellies. Definitely worth it, we can't wait to come back again soon!!! read more

We stopped in after taking a little day trip out from northern Berkshire county and we usually stop at another restaurant in the area but we decided to change it up. The restaurant is pretty deceiving from the outside as it looks like any other old farmhouse that you'd see in the area with the exception of a giant charred broiled burger sign. Upon walking in, it was as quaint in the inside as it was on the outside. We were quickly greeted by Tammy and said we could sit where we pleased. The entire restaurant is filled with antiques which are for sale, so as we were waiting for our burgers we took advantage of the quiet restaurant and looked around. My wife, son and I each got burgers, which were incredibly fresh, with fresh coleslaw and what appeared to be hand cut fries. The burgers come in various sizes from 1/2 pound to two pounds. Each of our burgers were cooked perfectly to our preference as well as being accompanied by fresh sliced tomato, onion and lettuce. They also have various ice cream flavor which we enjoyed after our meal. With this all said, the reason that I have the most admiration for this place, is Tammy's and her husband Charles' story. While I don't think its appropriate to share here, they had been closed for a few years due to familial issues and have recently reopened, which didn't seem like it would happen. I would suggest patronizing Tammy's not only for the great food but they are truly great people. read more
