    Sausage & Pepper slice up close.
    Roger K.

    Friends had been discussing the wood-fired pizza served here and an internet video of their pizza being baked. But other than one of them who had only been here a number of years ago under previous ownership, none of the others had. And so it was that we plugged the address into our car's GPS for our first ever visit. The kitchen closes at 8 pm on Sunday and we arrived at 6:15 to an empty dining room, a nice warm wood stove, three customers sitting at the bar, a football game on one TV, and NASCAR on the other. We even received a friendly "Hi!" upon our entry from one employee, and a "Good to see you again!" from another. As we selected one of the tables closest to the wood stove our server promptly informed us of two Specials that night as she handed us menus. We asked what was on draft and chose the Davidson Brothers Brown ($4.50/pt) over three others which included a Sam Adams Oktoberfest and maybe a couple of Budweisers. One of the Specials was an Appetizer Sampler ($6) which included 4 wings, 3 mozzarella sticks, 3 onion rings, and 3 chicken tenders. We ordered this while we perused the pizza offerings. The wings were the hit on this platter - crispy, meaty, and moist, with our choice of honey habanero sauce. The platter was served with sides of blue cheese and marinara sauces. I forgot to request the melba sauce for the mozzarella sticks. But the blue cheese was actually excellent on the sticks, rings and tenders. The tenders had a nice breading but the chicken was overcooked and only saved by that blue cheese sauce. The onion rings and mozzarella sticks were typical of the frozen variety. We skipped over the second Special of the night, an 8-cut cheese pizza that was maybe a couple dollars less than usual, so that we could try the Sausage and Pepper version ($10.50). The crust edges rise nicely in the oven and have a good flavor. The center of the pizza is heavily weighed down with cheese. It's a really tasty cheese that is not overly oily and easily stretches with each piece you remove from the try. But the cheese will prevent you from attempting to pick up a slice in your hand to eat. The house-made sausage on the pizza is crumbled bulk that hardens in the oven, giving it a crispy and contrasting texture to the cheese and dough. My preference would have been for some noticeable fennel flavor in it. The thinly sliced peppers appear to be previously sautéed to the point of some becoming translucent. They did not add any noticeable flavor. Maybe it's just that all that cheese overpowers the other flavors. The major discussion between my wife and myself once the pizza was served, however, was whether the dominant flavor we were experiencing was smoky, charred, ashy, or burnt. I preferred to use the first two while my wife said it reminded her of burnt toast. Certainly, if you look at the pictures I took you would not recognize any burnt crust. But if you looked at the bottom of a slice you definitely would see some brown and black spots. I backed my opinion on the fact that while the thick and airy, crust edges had this flavor they were a nice golden brown. She backs her opinion on my photo of the top vs. bottom photo. The bottom line is that I really enjoyed the pizza (and the wings). It's probably not going to get any rave reviews from someone preferring a NYC style. And I probably should have stopped eating after my share of the pizza, but the chalk board listed slices of pie from Smith's Orchard and Bake Shop ($4.50). I chose the Blueberry over the Apple and skipped the ala mode. It would have been better if the chill from the cooler had been taken off the pie before serving it. Otherwise, I still have my weakness for Smith's pies. This is a really friendly place and probably very popular with snowmobilers in the winter. Hopefully, the lake in the Summer also keeps enough customers coming year round.

It's nothing fancy, no lavish decorations, but nice and clean with a beach front feeling. The menu was huge, something for everyone! Our server was the bar tender who was courteous and friendly. I decided on trying a hamburger with American cheese and mushrooms, my buddy had a Buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. The burgers are 1/2 pound! We both agreed that this place was a good find and easily located right off interstate 87 at exit 13S. Prices are reasonable and the food is good! Definitely worth it.

Located right on the corner of U.S. Route 9 and Malta Ave in Ballston Spa, the outside is pretty low-key. The parking lot was a bit dark, with most of the light coming from the building itself but don't let that fool you. You walk in and you're right at the bar , with plenty of seating barside or table, if that's your vibe. Not into sitting up front? No problem, there's additional seating in the back for a more relaxed feel. Service was a win. Our waiter was courteous, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. Now the food, the Gooouda Burger caught my eye immediately. I ordered it bunless, wrapped in buttery romaine lettuce, topped with crispy bacon and fried onions. Paired it with their straw fries (seriously good) and a cold beer to wash it down. First bite? Exactly what you want. Food to temp, everything was crisp not soggy, the burger was cooked perfectly, even at well done, which is not easy to pull off. I can only speak for the burger, but based on that alone: don't judge this place by its exterior. Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised. (And yes... the picture is of a burger I couldn't wait to bite into )

We were hoping to get late morning breakfast but, missed the cutoff time so enjoyed a great lunch instead. This location of the restaurant at the golf course is huge compared to the small but very nice rustic wood bldg at their old location. Looks like you could have a heck of a party at this multi-large-room building. Many if the rooms are comfortable and give off a honey ambiance. Appears to have multiple bars as well. The chef puts a nice touch on making even a grilled chicken sandwich taste fabulous. I really don't think you can wrong here with whatever you order. Service is fast and genuinely friendly. We'll be back for sure. Hoping to try dinner here next time.

We had 6pm reservations for a party of four, arrived about ten minutes early and were seated immediately. The other couple in our party had previously been here and were curious if what they ordered then would be on the menu again. Apparently, the menu is updated weekly. Starting out with cocktails, I know everyone was happy with what they were served. I certainly enjoyed my pint of Coffee Stout, and my wife was pleased with the lavender non-alcoholic cocktail they concocted for her. Because the servings being delivered to other tables appeared to be quite large, we decided to pass on appetizers, in spite of some of the apps sounding rather unique, e.g., Crispy Deviled Eggs, Open Faced Fried Pork Wantons, and Fried Carbonara. My wife was tossed between a Beet Salad with Scallops and the Pistachio Encrusted Chilean Sea Bass. At our server's recommendation she chose the Sea Bass. It was served with corn puree, confit potatoes (which my wife especially enjoyed), and roasted tomatoes. I'll get to enjoy the leftovers. I was trying to make up my mind between the Duck Pot Pie and the Chestnut Mushroom & Boursin Stuffed Tomahawk Pork Chop when our sever alerted us that there were only two servings left of the Pork Chop. I promptly claimed one of them! I am so glad I did. It was an amazingly delicious and well prepared dish. The pork had a slight pinkish color, just as I like it, the meat was so tender and flavorful, the stuffing had a crisped surface from the oven or salamander, everything was wrapped in tasty pancetta, the smashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, a white wine truffle sauce added another level of flavor, and even the carrot spears had the right level of firmness. I can affirm that my leftovers were equally enjoyable. We were not as lucky in having advance notice of the limited availability of a limoncello pie dessert, so my wife and I shared a slice of Banana Cookie Dough Pie. OMG! That was sooooo delicious. It was light, creamy, and not overly sweet. A real treat with the good coffee they serve. That pie along with something from their Lighter Menu, like a burger, would send you home in ecstasy without putting much of a dent in your wallet. Our bill for the party of four having one round of drinks, entrees, and desserts was about $250. Taking the whole dining experience into account, it was a very fair value. But wait! I have more to share with you. On Saturday nights live entertainment is provided by an excellent keyboard player adding to the inviting dinner experience and atmosphere. Great live, unobtrusive, background music is always a plus at dinner. Got a request? Art Mozeik will likely oblige. Even if you'd like to hear a song on an accordion instead of his keyboard. Find your way to Broadalbin, N.Y. for dinner. You won't be disappointed.
