This place is legit for breakfast. My best friend got fried eggs with some cheddar cheese melted on top, home fries that looked cooked very well. I got some of the most legit corned beef hash Ive ever had. Like, take good olIrish corned beef out of the Crockpot, including all those fatty pieces, and fry it up with those potatoes kind of legit. Then we ordered a blueberry muffin grilled and buttered. I was shocked at how light it was - not dense like poundcake. Everything was delicious, coffee kept flowing, waitress was a doll. This might be one of my new favourite places.
Went here with my husband for breakfast, he had the harvest pancakes, which were awesome. He rarely said awesome. I had the egg Benedict, which had thick ham. And the waiter Kyle was very attentive.
Another bad review... 2 in a month. Bought a gift card for $30 before Christmas for my grandmother. Took her today for breakfast at the Malta location and was told there was nothing on the gift card. I am extremely irritated with this establishment. Such bad business. Certainly will be spreading the word and will NEVER return.
I go to breakfast every other weekend & I gotta say the Rooster is the best Ive had so far!! The menu selection is fantastic & my omlette was cooked to perfection!!! The service was top notch also all around, Ill be returning ASAP!!
Great Breakfast at reasonable price, friendly staff nice place to eat, makes you feel like family
What a great experience. The service was outstanding, our waitress was amazing and the food was excellent. I got an omelette with the home fries and Italian toast. My husband got the Bananas Foster french toast. The home fries were crispy and delicious. Coffee also top notch. But the waitress stole the show, on top of everything. Highly recommend.
Corn beef hash is the best Ive had in a very long time and never been dissatisfied with anything my wife and I have had so far HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Its been 5 years but i will go back. I was unable to finish my breakfeast due to portion size. I also enjoyed the atmosphere with some local railroad retirees
Went for family gathering after funeral.Food was exceptional guys and girls were friendly polite and went out of way to help and serve us. Owner came out and met us was over all best eating out experience I have had in a long time.
The food was great and cooked exactly as requested. Service was on point and Shannon was fantastic. I wish they had broccoli or fresh peppers for the omelets. I know everything is going up in price but their prices were a bit pricey for breakfast. All the other meals that went by looked delicious as well.
Went on a busy Sunday for brunch. The wait for food was a a bit long but the food made up for it. Ordered the Yummy French Toast. And it definitely was yummy. Cinnamon roll French Toast with glaze and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely coming back next time Im in town.
Stopped in for breakfast and was very impressed. The atmosphere was very welcoming and comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The big attraction though is the food, it is great. I loved the corned beef hash they make from scratch. The pancakes and home fries are excellent as well. The coffee was an excellent complement to the whole thing.I would gladly go here again or recommend this place to friends and family.Update:. If you are here and leave hungry you can only blame yourself. The food is delicious, I particularly recommend trying the yummy cakes. Service and staff are still exceptionally good, always worth the visit.
The Ugly Rooster is a popular place in Mechanicville NY. Excellent breakfast and service. We go there every time we’re visiting
First off who doesn’t love this place the food is fantastic and the place is always busy and the wait time is never that bad at all. Honestly the food is worth the way. My family and I got here a lot and have never had a bad experience. Even my little ones love the Ugly Rooster. So if you haven’t been you need to go. And they just opened a second location so now you have even more options. Just do yourself a favor and stop in get some breakfast or lunch up to you and enjoy. Happy eating all you foodies out there.
Second time weve visited and the food and service again was spot-on. I cant point out enough the quality of the wait staff. At a time when its hard to find good people, this place has identified a highly competent staff that keeps the fresh food moving quickly and the coffee cup filled. Great find in an out-of-the-way location! BTW, got the Bananas Foster French Toast and Home fries. Delish and more than I could eat.
I have been waiting to try this place and it didn’t disappoint! Fresh coffee, I loved my Spanish omelette and the home fries were delish! I ate everything 😃 the service was also wonderful- we were treated like family! The place is also full of cute rooster 🐔 decorations. Will definitely return. So glad there is a new Malta location as well!
Great breakfast with my son, it was his first time here. Great food great service.
I moved here not too long ago. The first thing everyone Ive met said was to try The Ugly Rooster. I totally get it now! The food was amazing, the staff was incredibly friendly. Their food was definitely the best welcome Ive had so far! Breath of fresh air compared to all the ok pizza spots, fast food, and a single mediocre sports pub. Thank you very much guys!
Everything is good. The berry bruschetta is a great starter to start the meal off. Its like a breakfast appetizer. The tasty cakes are good but are very sweet. I also had one of the egg wraps with the shaved steak and onions in it. Coffee is good. Not to strong and not to weak. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a variety of breakfast foods you dont get any wear else that are all good
Always the highest quality and best service! Have been a fan for many moons.
Wonderful food, great atmosphere, amazing service as usual.
The service was incredible, the atmosphere was lovely. Everybody from the bus boy , our waitress and the lady ringing us out had great smiles and warm greeting. Oh, and the food was some of the best breakfast I ever had! So many options as well.
Great Meal and a fair price. Love the home Frys.
Love it here. I always end up getting breakfast. My daughter loves the pancakes and I like the omelets, Ive had several and they are always good. If it looks busy, still go in, its never long if you need to wait for a table.
Their 2nd location opened in Malta at the site of the old diner. This site demonstrates that they provide excellent food at the right price, AND, they care that you have an excellent dining experience. If you havent been there yet, youre missing out on a real culinary treat!!
Love this place! I go here when I visit my sister. Everything Ive had has been really good. One of my faves is the breakfast dilla.
The Ugly Rooster catered our wedding 09/18/2021 and knocked it out of the park! We got married on the lawn at our familys farmhouse near Schaghticoke, which wasnt without its logistical challenges, but Mary (for planning and prep ) and Ariel and his team were ready to handle anything. They brought everything they needed to prepare our phenomenal meals on site, and staff were friendly, attentive, and willing to lend a hand throughout. When a torrential downpour hit just as dinner was about to be served, and gusting winds were threatening to blow our tent walls away, the URC somehow kept everything warm and even crispy until the worst of the weather had passed and everyone could eat comfortably. They never missed a beat and I cant say enough how grateful I am to have worked with them!I chose the URC for the wedding because I love their food in the Mechanicville cafe, at Easter brunch, and now in Malta. They have a GREAT and extensive catering menu, and their pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommend for any local event needs!
I dined here with some friends Sat may 20 and Sunday may 21. The food is GREAT. Awesome staff. Food came out fast both days. Very consistent. Corned beef hash is actually corned beef. Not canned stuff. We had tables of 4 and 5. No wait either day. Tammy is the best server. I will return every time I visit the area
Great coffee, great food, diner atmosphere. Just wish the staff would use gender neutral terms like folks or Hey yall instead of ladies or gentlemen. Otherwise this is a great place.
Great service! Our server was fantastic, kind and understanding. He offered to place my childs order in before the rest of us placed our order. My coffee cup was never empty! And I dont think I even need to mention the food! First time there and incredibly impressed
Outstanding food, everything is cooked and served to perfection. Service always friendly and quick. Highly recommend worth the drive, cant wait till they open the 2nd location.
We ate here for breakfast during our trip to Mechanicville and it was a lovely, classic diner experience! The server was nice, and the food was good. The veggie burrito is nice, but I would def add cheese next time! Home fries were delicious.
Always yummy! This is a great little place for breakfast & lunch. My favorite is the bananas foster topping for pancakes, french toast or waffles.They recently added a mixed berry bruschetta, which is very good....just needs more of the cream cheese jam spread. Make sure to ask for extra!
The Ugly Rooster is one of my all time favorite places. The food is incredible. I highly recommend the Southern Style Breakfast Sandwich. The servers are typically friendly and personable. Its a pleasure to eat here. Delivery is also reliable 👏
Went for breakfast this am, good food & large portions. If your looking for breakfast stop on in. Also to the guy to the south growing weed on top of the garage, some seeds must have fell and a decent size plant is growing on a lower roof. Pic attached.
Went for breakfast. Everything was delicious with generous portions. My gluten free egg dish with a side of gluten free pancakes was sooooo very good!! I love that its such a cozy, family oriented place. Love all the whimsy rooster decor. And the staff was so friendly and totally understood my concerns about cross contamination which Im thrilled to say they are well versed in. Just a great local place that services breakfast and lunch. 👍👌
Friendly small town dinner. Good coffee, great breakfast, plenty of comfort food, fun staff, and all at a very reasonable price point.
Great food, had the Southern Style,. Deliciously! And very nice staff, waitress took my order and brought my food out to the car for me.
The Eggs Benedict was delicious (and the eggs were poached, not fried). My wife enjoyed her breakfast sandwich. The corned beef hash was tasty and obviously homemade. The home fries were perfectly prepared and portions were generous. The coffee was standard cafe style and by the third refill the smell of dish soap had rinsed off the mug. knowing with certainty soap was used to clean the dishes was a bonus I guess.It is nicely lit and well decorated. It was busy without seeming crowded.
Great restaurant the corned beef hash is awesome!!
Good food, horrible coffee. Good service. However, none of the staff are masked. When I asked why that was, I was told that they didnt have to. I told them theyd lost my business until covid is no longer an issue.
We had Lunch. the staff and owner were great, friendly and helpful.Its been a long time since I had an dining experience where the staff and a bowl of soup and sandwich were in a word Awsome. Come warm weather, I am going to make this place a lunch stop for the biker crowd. 5 stars
Ambience: simple and to the point. Youve come to eat so seat yourself and eat! Bathroom smelt really nice.Menu: Self explanatory menu with plenty of vegetarian options.Service: Very polite staff and fairly quick serviceFood: We got the veggie omelette and the veggie burrito (eggs on me its called). Oh my, the home style fries were the best Ive ever had in America. The omelette was a 3/5. Was fairly decent and sumptuous. The burrito was very very good! My wife digged right in :)
This is one of my all time favorite places. The food is delicious and the service is fast and friendly. If you like cute, country decor and roosters, this is the place. Get the Southern Style Breakfast Sandwich. Its the greatest thing ever and is definitely two meals.
Finally a place with homemade corned beef hash! Everywhere I go, its from the can, and this is GOOD hash too. Everything it decently priced, and absolutely delicious!
Food was very good. Wouldn’t advise going on weekend. Waited 45 min for food and waitress never mentioned anything about a delay.If the problem was in the kitchen people should know
Absolutely great place to eat breakfast. The house special is a really inexpensive way to have a good start to your day. I tend to go during the weekdays around 7am and find it isnt too busy, which is just the way I prefer it. I havent eaten lunch here in quite some time, probably since they moved to their current location, but it was once again a great portion at a very fair price.If you live in the area, or are even in town for whatever reason you definitely owe it to yourself to go at least once!
What a find! Dont expect anything fancy - just a warm environment, delicious fare ( I had the veggie burger and my husband had the tacos), and incredible service. Does a great business - lots of locals are regulars. Easy to strike up a conversation. Food is served quickly - a big plus for us.
For a busy Sunday the wait was less then 1 min, the staff came right over, made sure we were ok with our seats. Coffee came fast and we while not rushed were holding them up. Everyone was ready to get us fed. Gluten free options, and the whole menu can be made at any time. Prices are very fair for the amount of food too. If there is a draw back its simply you gotta find on street parking most days, but thats not bad either.
Great food! Ariel is very good at what he does, and cares about his customers. We went for Easter Sunday brunch and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Its a smaller size place, but it is a must go location for anyone who enjoys good food in the capital region.
We went there after a funeral service for my sister. The staff was wonderful and understanding, the food was delicious
Best breakfast food in the capital region!
Great food, not strictly standard fare. Attentive but not bothersome staff.
Great food. The staff was very accomadating and made sure our gluten sensitive diner got food that was safe to eat. They can sit large groups without an advance reservation. My friend and I were able to each order a plate and split them which was great. Their vegetarian burger is delicious!
Recently went to The Ugly Rooster Cafe while traveling through Mechanicsville and the food was to die for! My friends and I agree that the Ugly Rooster made the rest of the food on our trip feel disappointing because nothing could compare. I ate the eggs benedict and it was the best I have had and the potatoes were delicious too.
Decent gluten free menu selection. Nice staff and family friendly environment.
Delicious Rueben, and crispy golden fries! Their horseradish dill dipping sauce is amazing too, I dont even usually like horseradish!
This place is great! Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Ive been frequenting them for years. Best breakfast around!
Great local restaurant!
Have been going since before they moved locations. Used to love in the apartment above them. Always have had great people and always have greater food :)
Best local breakfast spot! Anything you order you will not be disappointed. Awesome friendly service as well
I absolutely love this place. The staff is great. The food is fantastic and so is the coffee!! The atmosphere is comfortable. Its simply the best in the city to date. A must if youre in the area you wont regret it, btw their soups are excellent! 😉😉
Stop there for a quick bit to ear and was very pleased. Had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Taco Breakfast. Price was very reasonable. My coffee never went half empty. That means we had great service. We will be back.
We went to the Easter buffet and it was amazing. The food presentation was beautiful and every dish was delicious. This was already one of my favorite places to eat and now I cant wait for the Mothers Day and Fathers Day buffets! Very reasonably priced too!!
Had the Greek omelette with home fries-Excellent!
Great food, atmosphere and service, well be back!
Love, Love, Love this place!!! They have the best staff, and their food never disappoints. Eggs Benny cups are fantastic, and their hash is amazing, the best!!
The food is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly and the place is very clean and nicely designed!
So good. We sat at the counter. Waitress was great. Fun atmosphere
Simply the best place for miles around for breakfast. Great food great wait staff and a lovely place to eat. Im live some miles away now and still go there for breakfast when I want to go out.
The best cafe in the capital district by far. Both the food and service are tremendous. My boyfriend Chris and I travel from Troy for this gem. Again, the service is wonderful, but our favorite server is Stephanie, she is awesome! Keep up the great work, guys!
First time there...Brittany was excellent waitress.Food arrived in a timely fashion and cooked as ordered and tasted great.
Excellent breakfast! Havent been to lunch there. But breakfast has been delicious every time. Best potatoes Ive had in the region. Friendly atmosphere.
Shared a great meal here with our uncle a few years ago, little did we know that this place would be the last place we ever got to sit with our uncle and have a last meal with him, before he unexpectedly passed away not too long after. This place was his FAVORITE and will always cherish this place for being so involved with the community and having an amazing wait staff and cooks.
The wait staff are friendly and attentive. The food delicious. The menu is eclectic and the portions are generous.
We go here for breakfast on an almost weekly basis. Its easily the best diner experience in the region, and weve been all over. Delicious food, great service, and no fuss over substitutions and requests.
Fun atmosphere and staff. Great food and quick service. Lots of gluten free options. The Eggs Benedict is excellent and hollindase sauce is homemade. Great breakfast spot.
I have gone to Ugly Rooster for years, but recently discovered that I have a gluten sensitivity. I was so excited to see that they offer GF French Toast, Pancakes, and regular Toast!! And I have to say, it is all pretty damn good!!! I will definitely be going there regularly for their Gluten Free choices.
Dined here several times with family. Service is always great, cute atmosphere. affordable prices and portions are fine. 4 stars though because the plates themselves are sometimes cold, which means food is cold when it arrives at the table.
Great hometown and welcoming breakfast or lunch. The staff are great, your coffee cup never runs dry. An awesome menu item is the Quesadilla that can even be had for breakfast.
This food is out of this world! I miss the smaller location, it was more personal and they staff was awesome. Theyre still good but it just doesnt have the same feel it once did. I wish they had kept it small and opened additional locations like Malta/Ballston Spa. I recommend the benedict, and the home fries are TO DIE FOR!
Was in the area and showed up (unknowingly) 15 minutes before their closing time. They were still super friendly, made excellent food and great conversation. Highly recommended if youre in the area.
Food was excellent as usual! Had The Hardy Omlett with a side of hash...to die for!You MUST try this place!!! Youll be back of more!!!
Went there once, I got sick to my stomach almost didn’t make it out the door, I puked all over the front steps. I then thought it was just me, so I went again. Same thing happened, I had the whole day planned, it ruined it all. Don’t eat the eggs. Thought I was dying. Absolutely disgusting. Look at there kitchen. Awful, just awful.
It was my daughters wedding this weekend. The Ugly Rooster catered her wedding and her celebration brunch the next day. I cannot find enough words to describe the AMAZING meals we had. We have been several times to the restaurant but this was our first experience with the catering side. Ariel and his crew went above and beyond. EVERYONE raved about the experience. If you are looking for fine food, a professional experience with a feeling of family, then The Ugly Rooster is your go to place.
Try the Italian style french toast, the southern style breakfast sandwich and the fried green tomato BLT. Real maple syrup available too. Service is always friendly and quick. Best food in town.
Absolutely love this place. Perfect small town diner feel, and taste. Prices are very affordable. Staff is very friendly, lots of space inside and not cramped like a typical diner.
(Repeat customer, so understandably biased) Again they knocked it out of the park. I brought my GF here after a procedure she had and they had a great gluten free selections, even separated potatoes on the grill. Sitting around a cast of regulars, hearing the comradery with the staff, you are enveloped in a warm hug. Large area with plenty of space between your table and your neighbors but still has a cozy vibe.
The best experience ever!!!!!!. Finally a place with great food and great people working there. You dont see that anymore.
Liked the old one better, it is more spacious and the staff are just as great. The outside has good amount of parking and plenty of room inside. I guess my nostalgia bumped a star off but all in all, foods good and staff is also good.
We had a great catered lunch for our family reunion last Saturday, July 20th...The food was delicious and appealing. The caterer, Ladelle, was more than helpful. Any catering we will need in the future will certainly be from the Ugly Rooster Café....
Very nice local place. Tables are well spaced for Covid safety as well as a placard on the table indicating the table was sanitized. Friendly staff and good food.
Fast service! Super friendly staff. Home fries were crispy and lightly seasoned the way I like them! Bonus theyre a cafe that offers side avocado with breakfast.
It was amazing the place it feels welcome the food it os delicious my husband bring us today and I was amazing about the place it good I recommend it %100
Excellent service. Excellent fast diner food. Great spot for malta to have again!
The options here go beyond the traditional breakfast choices, they have items you dont often see from cute small town diners. The staff are also very friendly. We will be returning.
This is a preferred taste place. I didn’t like anything on the menu as i made a choice for something so simple-it still didn’t taste good. Although being in Mechanicville, they don’t seem to be on the list for food inspection fail, so i gave them 2 stars for that. The rest of the town-fail fail fail. Disgusting.
Friendly, welcoming staff and tasty meals. Its a great place.
Awesome food, Great service. Great at moms home cooked feel and taste food Love the atmosphere. the portions are Enormous and the price is unbeatable.
This review is 7 months late but better late than never! Ariel and his fabulous catering team are WONDERFUL. One of the best decisions was choosing the Ugly Rooster to cater our wedding. Ariel and Mary made everything so easy for us and the food was delicious and raved about by our guests. I will forever reccomend you guys ♡ Thank you for helping to make our day so special! The Ugly Rooster will always be special to us 😊 Best fried green tomatoes too! XOXO
Always delicious. Make the trip if you havn:t yet. You sill not be disappointed! ( hint:try the southern style open faced breakfast sandwich with a side of homemade corned beef hash)
Great food and friendly atmosphere. The French Toast is fabulously smothered w pastry cream and your choice fruit. 😋
Went in a Sunday midmorning a party of 4. The wait staff were friendly and fast. The wait for our order was soooo slow and very cold. I started to notice all waitresses were circling the restaurant the entire time we were there. Im not going back ever.
Catered my son’s s wedding. Food was barely room temperature. Otherwise it was good
The food is so good! Especially breakfast.
The food and service is great at The Ugly Rooster, the venue itself is a bit run down and unappealing. The food and waitstaff outweigh the atmosphere. They also have an extensive gluten-free menu, which is outstanding.
Best breakfast around hands down. If youre looking for a delicious and filling meal earlier in the day, this is the go-to place
My family and I eat here regularly. The food is fantastic with very generous portions. The staff are always friendly and attentive.
Great food. Healthy alternatives. Best beef burgers. Great staff.
The food here is delicious and the service is great! Our waitress Tammy really looked after us. Highly recommend!
One of my favorite local spots for breakfast/lunch. Home fries ordered extra crispy is always worth the 20 minute drive.
The food is always excellent, and the service is extremely friendly and prompt. They have some of the best loaded home fries in the world!
Great breakfast, best wait staff around!
All the diner staples plus added flare for each. Kids live the yummy cakes and mom and dad go for the omelets. Recommend the Foghorn Leghornif youre hungry.
Awesome corned beef hash. All the food was excellent. If you want a good breakfast make sure to give it a try.
Food was delicious and Barbara was a WONDERFUL waitress. Also, Bathroom was clean and smelt fresh
I absolutely enjoy this place never had a bad meal there. My favorite part about the place is the appreciation for your business
There are three places that I always have to visit when in the 518, the Ugly Rooster is my no. 1 spot. The staff is on-point and the food is great with plenty of options for even the pickiest of eaters.
This place is always awesome with excellent service, friendly people, good food. I have not had a bad breakfast yet.
Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Hometown Atmosphere... Enough Said... Just Go!
A hometown atmosphere. The Ugly Rooster Cafe, has home cooking(comfort food), with atmosphere of by gone years. Food is excellent and so is service.
Great breakfast food. Your doing yourself a favor by getting the corned beef hash....soooo worth it!
Had really good breakfast after a two wedding weekend in NY. Ate rancheros huevos and drank solid coffee next to the spooky abandoned train station in Mechanicville.
Great experience as always. Great food, good portions and not expensive. I never have a bad meal at the Ugly Rooster.
Great food, atmosphere, and staff…Highly recommended!!!
The best breakfast in the area! Such a nice family restaurant to go to! The staff is so friendly and accommodating.
If youre looking for an indulgent brunch, this is your place! Try the Benedict omelet and the bananas foster french toast! Service is always friendly and on point.
Service was great the food was awesome! Will definitely go back.
Food was good... service was a bit slow, but it was pretty busy
Tremendous value and quality. I had a breakfast variety of burrito. Large and packed with simple and delicious ingredients, that burrito rendered me full and content.
The food was great the wait service was terrible first they brought us out the wrong food then they bought the right food out and it was cold and bought our appetizer out with our meal. I was very disappointed with the Ugly Rooster because of the wait service
OMG, this is my absolute favorite restaurant ever. Great food, great prices, fast and friendly service. They are the best.
Always a favorite! The Ugly Rooster has great food, reasonable prices, and superb staff. Everything is made fresh and you wont find a better breakfast menu anywhere in the area.
Pancakes break apart as soon as you cut them. Acoustics are horrible, you cant hear the person next to you without putting your ear right next to them. Sausage patties leave much to be desired as well. Too salty.
Great food, great service and inexpensive. Best restaurant in mechanicville. Italian style French toast or fried green tomato blt are my go tos but everything is good
Our favorite place to get breakfast every Sunday, the staff are super friendly and the food is always good!
I live about 30 minutes away but heard the food here was awesome, so glad we took a drive out to try it. Food was awesome-worth the drive!
A wonderful place for breakfast or lunch. Great hometown atmosphere and the service is top notch!
Good food and people. The atmosphere and decorating is wonderful.
Do not go there for lunch,it was super dirty and disgusting,the toilets were dirty,the whole restaurant was dirt,the sugar bowls were touched.never go here about 8 years ago
Everything cooked perfectly. Hash was very good, but could have used a little less potato. Great, quick service.
Absolutely love this place. I usually get there as they open during the week. The service is quick and the food is amazing.
Great food, decent pricing. Just wish they would do dinner.
The food was good and quickly served.
Great food and decent prices. Had a new server, so service was not as great as I have always gotten.
We love coming here. We know everyone by name, and they know us as well. Very homey kind of place and our go to every day for breakfast.
Breakfast or lunch always great and they have the best corned beef hash anywhere( I moved to Florida I came back for business this was the first place I stopped in for breakfast still awesome)
Servers were good atmosphere is cute very clean but not too many menu items to choose from
Love Sunday breakfast here. Wait staff is great! Food also great.
Great food at a great price. Nice hometown atmosphere and nice staff.
Fast cozy morning food with great service. Farmers scramble was a W. Alyssa was super fast and friendly 30% tip
Great food choices whether you want breakfast or lunch and the waitresses are awesome!
Favorite breakfast restaurant in the area. Real corned beef hash, awesome fresh burgers, every appetizer makes your mouth water! 😍😍
Great food and very reasonable prices. We love having breakfast here!
Food wasnt so great, prices werent so great... Only positive thing was that the lady at the register was super nice
My burger got out of hand! Literally ended up having to eat with a knife and fork!Loved it! Hamburger pattie was a hand made burger, nice!
One of the best breakfast spots close to Clifton Park. Its worth the drive to Mechanicville to get a fast and tasty meal!
Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. Definitely will be back. I highly recommend it!
Dropped in for breakfast the other day. Some funny regulars thatll bring you into the conversation, great food, really attentive service, and wasnt expensive.
Great menu selections. Really quaint restaurant. Good food...good prices

Its got a great deal of character and the wait staff is super nice, service is fast, food is good and plenty of it.
Great service in homey atmosphere. Breakfast food options are typical diner style.
Pleasantly surprised. Great breakfast place. Lots of options. North American breakfast with a bit of South American touch.
The best cornbeef hash.
The food is always good, especially their home fries. Their location is unique and welcoming

Personally speaking, not very unique. Food was ok.
Friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Service was very fast.
Great breakfast food, cool vibe & decor, good service.
Tucked away in a hidden corner of town, this place has great food at a decent price. A favorite place to visit when Im in that neck of the woods!
Excellent! Fair prices, delicious food. Tammy, fantastic waitress. 🙂
A very friendly hometown restaurant with typical small restaurant fare as well as some more inventive dishes. Worth a visit!
Best food every time!!! Great service every time!!!
Great friendly service. Good was fantastic. Higher cost but well worth the price for quality and quantity.
Fun! I gave this restaurant 4 stars because of the service, food and everything. Super nice.

Always good food! Portions are great especially for the price you pay.

2022-02-22This place has got it going on.Its big, its busy and its good cooking. Has that classic diner vibe all over it. Family owned and operated.My first time there and I got the Harvest Cakes. Expected the sausage on the side, was surprised that it was cooked into the pancake. Was good regardless. Reminded me of a sausage corn dog but way better.My Dad got the Eggs Benedict. He said it was good, I didnt get to try any ☹️. The home fries that came with it were my favorite thing of all.My Mom got the strawberry waffle. Pretty good 👍Prices are good too. Only questionable thing is the parking. Dont worry, its fun

2022-01-04It is so rare to find a perfect Eggs Benedict. Ive been disappointed in so many places from down to upstate. When the waitress asked how our food was while I was eating it, my eyes rolled back and that pretty much said enough. The French Toast was great but they went way too heavy on the glaze. We scooped it off and tried it, enjoying the taste when the sugar wasnt overpowering it anymore. The Corned Beef Hash was fantastic, Homefries are so seasoned and we LOVED that. Most places underseason Homefries. The Fried Green Tomatoes are PERFECT. The batter is crispy and flavorful, the dip is great, and the tomatoes are wonderfully tender. My friend had an omelet and loved it as well. She said it was the best shes ever had. The coffee is the best Ive had at a breakfast place. I loved our waitress. She was so attentive, friendly, and on-point. Every table is set far enough apart, every table and chair is wiped down between customers, and the establishment is spotless. This made us feel safer with dining indoors. We will DEFINITELY be back!

2021-08-14The best food in mechanicville! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, we just moved here and they make us feel like weve lived here for years. My personal favorite dish is Nicks famous french toast with blueberries.(in the picture I had strawberries this time😁)

2021-05-25A typical American diner with a bit of extra flair on the menu. Located rather out of the way in Mechanicville. Waitstaff were OK; decent prices. I had the famous French toast with spiced apples, and it was good though extremely rich. Come here for classic diner fare with a twist.

2022-05-09Today was our second time eating here (despite living in the area for years) we had lunch to go this time. As was the first time, the food was excellent. The portions are big so I could only eat half of it. Well definitely be coming again!

2021-02-07Excellent French toast. I got the Italian style with marscapone and orange zest. Was really tasty.Prompt service, distanced tables. Interior design is a bit basic, so not going there for the ambience. The food was really good and every plate that passed me looked yummy. Ill be going back to try different items.

2022-06-29Got a bacon egg and cheese with home fries didn’t like either. Didn’t get it taken off the bill. Even the atmosphere wasn’t good. Way to open, felt empty.

2022-05-21Friendly, welcoming. Good food, great prices and kids of coffee refills even on a busy Saturday morning.Since our first visit, weve become regulars. The food is always consistent. While there are some new faces in there recently, the service is still very good. Staff all work as a team and help each other out. Whether its delivering your food, refilling your coffee, or bussing tables to get people seated quickly, they strive for good service.
