5/5 Espresso
Poco P.

A typical 'Mel's Diner' feel! Loved it & the staff. Peggy our diner server was excellent! Very busy on weekends! We sat at diner counter & next day ordered to-go. Service quick & boss was on top of everything even the temperature for the ice. Ask how our breakfast was, which many restaurants lack the simple task. 5/5 Ham & Eggs, side of sausage links. Links were amazing! Ham not to salty. Fried potatoes seasoned well & buttered toast. 5/5 Canadian Bacon & Eggs. 5/5 Cannoli delish! 5/5 Coffee & Espresso Definitely will be back! Large variety of food for dinner also!

We stopped at Silo (which is good, but very crowded), went over to Ambrosia and did not regret it. Our server was Virginia and she was a sweetheart. Kept us in coffee and was attentive to what we wanted. We got a table quickly and there are a wide variety of breakfast options. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, meals were served quickly and hot. Atmosphere is like an upscale Dennys crossed with a 50s diner. Plenty of parking. All the workers seemed friendly. We will return when we come back to upstate NY.

A French dip sandwich, supposedly
Jesse S.

Oof. Not good. This is a classic diner with a massive menu. The two issues are the food and the prices. We had: - French onion soup: The cheese and the bread were fine. Something tasted off about the soup. - Spaghetti and meatballs: The sauce was flavorless and the meatballs were very strangely seasoned. - A French dip sandwich: I should have known that this would be awful when the menu said it had cheddar cheese. I subbed in Swiss and it was still awful. The meat was very dry and flavorless. - Kids' chicken fingers and fries: This was fine. All told, we had two entrees, a kids meal, and a bowl of soup. Along with two sodas, the total came to almost $70 before tip. That's a lot more than I wanted to spend for such lousy food. Prices of some other items (especially drinks) were even more absurd. I'm not going to pay $7 for a Coors light. I'm definitely not going to pay $17 (!!!) for a Long Island iced tea at some random diner. Service was fine.

If you want something simple and filling order the Country Fried Steak & Eggs. Service is on point not waiting for your refills and the atmosphere is relaxing, if you're visiting the Queensbury NY area make a point to stop by Ambrosia Diner.

I would recommend this place, its small but cute and feels homey. The staff are friendly and the food wasn't bad. I ordered the chicken Cesar salad it had lots of chicken pry more then lettuce lol. It was located in the parking area where its very convenient. There's a shopping mall around the corner, they have decent prices and offer drink and cocktails. Thank you to our great server!

Eggs Benedict and home fries
Mary V.

This diner is the best in the 518. No matter what you order, it comes out delicious with a side of waitress awesomeness. This particular morning I ordered the eggs Benedict. As you can tell from the picture it was perfect. When you cut into the eggs the flow of yolk the cascaded down over the ham and English muffin was a beautiful sight to see. The service is always impeccable. My waitress Virginia, has been a staple there for years and is always friendly, efficient, and ready with the coffee pot to do your refills. My cup is never empty. This is a great place for families or if you're by yourself. No matter what time of day you get your meal, you won't have a bad experience. I highly recommend the Ambrosia Diner.

Many , many , many items on this menu

Stopped in for first time yesterday on way back from a weekend in Vermont. Big place. Full diner look in\out. Big parking lot but can fill up ( at least during weekend breakfast hours). Plenty of staff, especially the stereotypical"diner waitress". They are serious, yet friendly at the same time because they work hard: Especially during these breakfast rushes. I ad a 3 egg omelette with Swiss, mushrooms, and onions that comes with a non-oily side of home fries ( potatos). Both were very good. The coffee we had was excellent. Great meal to start my day on the road. Good experience here.. Would definitely go back.

Another visit to Ambrosia Diner, this time for dinner. The chowder soup was delicious! The atmosphere and service were amazing like always! I can never get over how massive their portions are. The Mac and cheese almost tasted like I was having a huge pot of fondue but with macaroni noodles to dip instead. I don't know how I even had room to have a bite of the cake but it made me wish I had a second stomach. It was so good! My fellow diners had large portions too- one plate was basically swimming in gravy. They never skimp out on what they give their patrons, that's for sure!

It's all about coffee

Starting the day off right with pancakes and coffee. I suggest ordering a small stack of pancakes. I went all out and got a regular stack which was ginormous which I had to take 2 home. Service is top notch and they're super friendly. Food comes out super quick and hot off the griddle. If you're looking for top notch diner food here's your spot.

Love the colors

Casual dining
Kid friendly

I normally don't name drop but Jaycob was the bomb diggidy! Not only did he put up with my special…read morerequests but he was super bubbly for it being so late/early. On top of that, the pancakes were fabulous. Maybe they tasted so good because I don't remember the last time I had pancakes. I do, however, remember coming here often as a kid, and coming here tonight, there was a little bit of nostalgia, as if reliving fond childhood memories. The only difference is then I was eating with family, whereas tonight was a late night solo venture. But the waiter made me feel like family. So 5 stars 4 ya Denny's! p.s. I swear there was a pint of blueberries in just two pancakes. They definitely didn't skimp on the fruit. I actually asked to speak with the chef, and asked her (Melinda) if it was okay if I have her a shout out. As you can guess from reading this, she said yes. She said she's here five overnights a week. So chances are, if you're coming in early/late, she'll hook you up too. Again, Melinda, thank you!!

Honestly the value for the money is great. Some of the cheapest kids' meals/ breakfast meals…read morearound. The service is usually pretty good, sometimes they can get a little busy(like Saturday mornings). I'm only docking a star due to consistency/ food temp/ lack of menu items sometimes. Otherwise, it's a really great breakfast option, especially for families. The coffee is okay at best but they have some new cold brew options now. Also! Kids eat free on Tuesdays with purchase of an adult meal! ;-)
