Our family of five with kids were up for trying something new and this place did not disappoint. The apps - homemade chips and salsa as well as pretzels w/mustard were yum. Food was made to order, expect to allow time for that. Everyone enjoyed their mains which were Reuben, wings and burger. I opted for the eggplant chips, which were slightly overdone but still tasty. Waitress was beyond friendly and attentive, she was great with the kids. I Would return and recommend if you're up for good food/service and hometown bar/restaurant vibe.

They have daily specials that they post on Facebook dailly. They always have great cakes too. It doesn't look like anything from outside, so don't let that keep you back. We hesitated going in the first time, because it's not inviting from the outside. It's completely different inside, it's warm and friendly.

I'm always on the lookout for a new little diner and we found this one in Watervliet (upstate NY)…read more We've been to a couple nearby places that are more conspicuous but don't have the same charm as On the Hill. Great food and less costly than the others. Fantastic and quick service as well. My "Loaded Bowl" was quite tasty by itself, but a side of sausage gravy on top made it perfect! The Mrs. had the veggie bowl and it was satisfying but as usual it was too much for her to finish. No complaints on that...Coffee was good and my cup never made it to empty. Two minor quirks: My wife likes flavored creamer and they didn't have any. Also it's cash only -- they have an ATM in the front. I'm happy that my review will raise their star ratings. Can't wait to come back on our next visit!

Can't believe I just heard of Mom & Pop's; clearly I've been living under a rock. This family owned business knows how to provide delicious food fast! It was obvious that there are MANY regulars (the owner was on a first name basis with everyone that walked in)-which I would be if I lived a smidge closer. Loved my Mediterranean omelette; the skillet got rave reviews (and a to-go box!). Picked up some cookies and struffoli (yaaassss Italian honey balls FTW!!) for a Christmas dinner I'll be attending..plus a couple of pieces of eggnog cake (which were insanely good...those won't make it to Xmas dinner). I'd like to go back again soon and try some other breakfast (or lunch) items. They close at 2pm and are currently open Monday-Friday (so I can only get there on a day off). Oh-they do catering, too.

The menu is huge! It's like a diner...basically anything you might want, they probably have (for breakfast and lunch). I chose the turkey club. I had an option to have it with chips or a side salad. The sandwich was big, and I had to eat the sections in mini-sections! It was very good. I can't wait to come back! I felt that the prices were very reasonable.

This may be the best version yet! For anyone who hasn't been back since Finnigan's on the Lake closed due to the owner's health issues, I strongly encourage you to return. The food was delicious, and the service was truly exceptional. The Tavern has been beautifully upgraded, the views of Ballston Lake are as spectacular as ever, and, most importantly, the owners and staff go out of their way to make every guest feel genuinely welcome and appreciated. It's wonderful to see this longtime Ballston Lake gathering place thriving again. We'll definitely be back!

We will definitely be going back again and highly recommended that you give this place a try.

Admittedly I'm a bit delayed in writing this review so some of what I tried was seasonal dependent as I got a hot apple cider for a drink. To eat, I got a crepe and side of sausage! Just a few short minutes later, the food was ready to go. Everything was really delicious. The sausage provided a perfect savory balance for the sweet crepe that I got. The restaurant was really spacious and had lots of natural light which provided a lovely ambiance. Despite growing up in upstate NY, getting to sit at Skinny Pancake felt like a nice, peaceful perspective I hadn't received before. The food being delicious was the cherry on top. I highly recommend!

The Johnny crepe was also very good, would want to get that again next time. Service was quick and friendly. You order your meal and there is self service coffee and water which is great. Second visit, came with a group of 7. And one party of 3 before us. We all were standing around for 5-10minutes before anyone greeted us. Unfortunately they were short staffed, and many people were sat at tables and still waiting for food. We were told it was going to be a 10-15minute wait and that we cannot be seated (although it is a self order type of thing?) We were not allowed to sit at the table just to sit. We were offered the couch until they were ready. However as we were waiting, other parties came in and directly walked up to the register? And so we were kind of turned off by that...There has to be a better system :/. Was super excited to eat here again. Hopefully they will improve
