    For real with this lady?

    Ordered a chicken bacon ranch, it lacked bacon, but had an entire solid slice of onion in exchange. The jalapeño poppers left much to be desired, but the girl falling off the chair at 6:30 on a Tuesday afternoon made up for it. I even got a consolation prize, a frozen beer that wouldn't stop overflowing. The only upside was laughing at the wasted lady my moms age dancing on the table to meatloaf. Stay classy Potsdam..

    Driving by this place 100 times made me itch, so here we go. Was in a adult beverage mood and hungry. They have outside seating, a dining room on one side, and a bar on the other. It was cozy in a retro type of way with a classic, "Here's your Bar" feel. Service was attentive and honest, thank you for that, and the beer was cold. 12 wings split (sorry, I'm a wing fanatic but hang on) in 2 sauces, and a turkey broccoli melt was ordered first. The food had an unusually long time for what I expected, maybe a half hour, but for bar food, that's a little on the slow side. When the food finaly arrived, I thought initially it looked good. Wings were nice and crispy and both sauces were plentiful, which I prefer. Garlic parm, and a sweet and spicy. The garlic was fantastic, pizza hut could have bought their recipe, and the sweet spicy had good flavor, but I UNFAIRLY have to say little heat, i like things hott. But the wings were great, and I will be back for them. Little smaller than a jumbo size, but not a rip off. (Pizza hut) these were good, I'll be back for them. The sandwich was ok. Inventive, and my wife loved it, but it was missing something for me, maybe a sauce spread or a sharp cheddar would have boosted it, but she was happy, and loved the fresh cut fries. At this point I would have been pretty happy with my experience, and would have probably put 4 stars in (as 5 would be a REALLY good bar) but I had to take a to go order to make up for my wings. I ordered the blue cheese burger with bacon to go, and asked to load it up. Being half tons, I figured they should nail the burger. Well, I was dissapointed. No veggies except for pickles, dry, flavorless patty, and just a meh' type of burger. But all in all, I enjoyed my stay, definitely a wing place, esp for garlic lovers.

    Would've preferred cheddar cheese pringles

    If you like bland, overcooked food, made in a dirty fryer, then this is the place for you.

    Well, the epic of finding great food in the North Country has lead us to the Barking Dog Saloon and…read more so glad it did!!! We moved to Colton almost three years ago from Boston and now we regret not coming here sooner. We took a great sampling of the menu and enjoyed every dish. The 2 burgers were cooked perfectly- 1 medium and 1 medium rare. The fries were very crunchy and held its own. My mummy got the fish fry - the only negative was perhaps the fish was overcooked and hard to eat- the beer batter tasted great though but I would suggest a min less on the deep fry. The chicken wings were fantastic,ally juicy -( we choose the golden bbq known more in North Carolina) even my husband enjoyed them and he does not like saucy food. The large portion of boneless chicken rings would be even a meal with a light salad. Great crunchy Onion rings that hold their own. Mozzarella sticks were nice. The Buffalo Egg rolls were very mild which was great for my family but I enjoy them on the hotter side. I really adore fried pickles and the batter they used held up to the juicy pickle:). I would like to see if in future they offer pickle chips and not just the spears. The only other thing I would point out- the blue cheese dipping sauce could be better. Needs more- maybe if they added real blue cheese chunks. Overall great experience, nice staff and a cosy dining room and bar. At the time we picked up the take a way there were four tables full families The Barking Dog Saloon is off the beaten path but entirely an adventure to find it so worth it. We only are able to go out once a month but I am sure this will be our go to place- maybe the next time try their Chicken Parm Sandwich. Keep up the good work- you have a diamond of a place.

    I went to barking dog saloon after seeing a review online claiming they had the best wings in NY…read more And that just might be true. I got the maple bacon chipotle wings and they were out of this world. They were crispy, large, and still tender. What really brings it home is their house made blue cheese. This is a place I would 100% recommend and is somewhere I will be frequenting. Small niche local bar restaurant vibe and has phenomenal wings.

    If I could, I would give this place LESS than 1 star (Yelp should offer NEGATIVE stars because I…read morewouldn't even give this place the satisfaction of a negative Star!). I will NEVER set foot into this shit-hole again. I have a trailer home in the islands and I am a regular visitor to the islands now for close to 40 years. I frequent the areas bars, restaurants, clubs and entertainment venues and spend decent $$$ at each. Last night was the topper. It was Pirates Weekend in the Bay. I went into the Downtown Club. I was in full Pirate regalia. I was asked for proof (no problem, even if I'm 68, but I understand). I walked into the foyer to see if a good friend of mine was bartending. 2 bouncers aggressively came up to me and said, "where is your wrist band"? (Unknowingly that i even needed one). I said, "what wtistband? I'm just looking for ----- to see if hes bartending tonight. They said, he's not here today and told me to get the Fu** out. They forceably grabbed me by the back of my coat and PUSHED OUT THE DOOR". I was NOT being nasty at all to them (not in my nature), nor have I ever had any previous confrontations there. They were just plain overwhelmed and nasty because of the crowd and most likely put up with craziness all day long, but there was no reason for them to take out any of their aggression on me at all. Apparently they are charging $20 just to walk through the door and their drinks average, around $10 to $15 and up each, in a 9oz plastic cup. So if you want to spend a small fortune for little to nothing, this is your place to go. They have nothing to offer for a $20 admission. NO live music (just a DJ Spinning Tecno Music), NO Drink or food special, basically, NO NOTHING. In any respect, overwhelmed or not, that is no respectful way to treat a customer. I will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN. I work too hard for my money and I refuse to put ONE CENT over the bar of this inhospitable place. I know a lot of people whereas I am in entertainment and a personality in the Buffalo NY area and known throughout the country promoting my own genre. I may not know enough people to deter that would even frequent this hovel, to put them out of business, but I WILL do my utmost to get the word out to 10's of thousands of my contacts to avoid this place if theyre ever to visit Alexandria Bay. There's more CIVIL ways to handle a situation other than putting addle minded baboons at the door.

    Came here on a Wednesday evening with a group of 11 ladies for a ladies night out!…read more The good: Great waitress who took care of our large group! Was quick with getting us our drinks and checks. Drinks-had the downtown and pirates drink. Both were tasty and not a bad price. The Bad: Pizza! One of the worst pizzas I have had, especially for one made in a brick-Oven. I expected so much better and was sadly disappointed. Would go back for drinks and a night out at the bar but not for their food.
