Great service! Hot coffee and cold orange juice. Bring your appetite here. The kitchen sink omelette is to die for but huge. So so good! Remember to support your local eateries so we both don't starve...

Coffee Time for The Rebel Chef! @ Burnt Hills Cafe in Burnt Hills, NY
Christian L.

Fantastic middle of nowhere all-day breakfast Diner. The way it always was and should be! The staff are the greatest. The food took like 3 mins. to get to my table. Coffee refills delicious and really fragrant. Texas burger's really, really good and so were the sides. Burnt Hills Cafe has the total 'old school flair' going for it. The mix of folks was young and old. A few groups were just some friends kicking it. It was really delicious. The food is a top-tier 5 star. Burnt Hills Cafe specializes in breakfast dishes - but my lunch here was just as tasty and hot! The bar area is short and jammed so be ready to sit at tables, like back in the day. Review: 5+

So here's the story ... it's winter break ... me and the kids and their friends went ice skating ... mom met us at the end and we decided to take everyone to lunch. And my oldest picked this joint. Full disclosure I've been here before but I let him think it was a new place. He was excited and I didn't lie I just didn't call attention to it. Service was really good. Quick attentive and courteous with that old school diner vibe. You know a bit pushy kind of in a rush calls everybody sweety or hun or darling. Total NY vibes. The food was good. Huge menu. Tons of specials. Really good soup I had manhattan clam chowder. Portions were big. They gave everyone fries and we didn't order them so that's what's up. Only negative was my boy who picked is a vegetarian and other than breakfast there wasn't much for him. He was bummed but he made it through. Price was good too there was 7 of us and we all ate and drank and tipped over 20% and we got outta there at $115 all in. Plus it was super quick. Like 5 minutes to order and another 10 and all of the food was on the table. Pretty crazy because the place was full too. We'll go back just won't bring the vegetarian lol.

It was a last resort for breakfast... so disappointing, this could definitely use some remodeling... The menu is you standard typical American diner items eggs toast home fries waffles and pancakes. We had veggie omelette, Greek omelette.. honestly both were the same...Waffles and pancakes .. everything was so below average. Given a choice to skip breakfast or eat here... I'd skip. And that mostly had to do with the cleanliness of place. Sorry was not for me!

If you like a simple hometown diner, then you'll like this place. Friendly staff, and the portions were generous. Had a great lunch here.

Next time I definitely want to try the vegan falafel, and I'm really curious about the Greek moussaka too. Service friendly and welcoming, and I also loved the cute tables outside. They've added flowers around the outdoor area and it makes the whole place feel really charming and inviting. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

The ordering was simple and I reserved my order through fb messenger a few days prior to 3/17. The order to the pickup went smoothly and it was sooooo delicious. They placed it together when I arrived. If you've never been to the Ballston spa location and it's your first time, things to know: - tables for about 12 people in the restaurant at a time (no larger parties) - it gets warm in there, no matter the season! - they serve canned drinks and bottled water, so if you're a guzzler, bring your large reusable water bottle My favorite part was how the hummus was the best hummus I've had in years. No other restaurant makes it like this in the area and you've got to go in and try it!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Impeccable service,…read moreelegant and charming ambiance, and the food was perfectly delicious with appropriate portions. Chef's kiss! Nice selection of adult drinks/beverages. The Mezze platter appetizer was a great way to start off and try five of their Greek spreads with pita; They were all very tasty, with the highlights for me being the Tzatziki and the Tirokafteri. Do not skip out on the Lamb Chop Lollipops appetizer, which was flavorful and grilled to perfection. As if the entire experience wasn't already more than enough, I would come back for those alone. THE BEST sear on the salmon with the Salmon Scaloppini entree. The sauce, salad and mashed potatoes paired perfectly. With the Lamb Souvlaki entree came the most tender, succulent lamb and I don't know how they made rice taste SO good. For dessert the Greek Baklava was the best I have ever had with well blended textures and flavors. Truly the cherry on top of an excellent dining experience!

Excellent legit Greek food…read more Recommend the mezze platter as a starter: hummus, tzatziki, ezme, eggplant tomatoes, and tirokafter. All super flavorful and decent size portions for a starter. Can serve about 4. Also recommend the keftedakia grilled lamb & beef seasoned with garlic, mint, parsley & onion and served with tzatziki. Also decent sized for an appetizer. Can't go wrong with any fish here. Service was excellent both times we went. Online ordering via Toast https://order.toasttab.com/online/athos

My wife chose the lamb burger and I went for falafel. Both turned out to be solid choices. I was impressed with the freshness of the greens served alongside as well as the perfect outer crunch and tender inside of well-spiced falafel. Our server was warm, welcoming, and efficient and the room was calm and comfortable. We will be back for dinner sometime soon.

Even with our high expectations, Phos definitely didn't disappoint. The space is beautiful and the staff were so kind and attentive (a few of them came over from Gaskins as well!). We kicked things off with a round of cocktails and appetizers, and the Voyager was one of our favorites from the drink menu. I also tried the Elysium martini, which as promised was super strong, but it was probably the only thing I tried during my entire visit that I wouldn't order again. I would have liked a little more of the olive brine and lemon verbena flavors to come through, most sips really just tasted like vodka. The meal only got better and better from there, though! We ordered a couple of the Mezze spreads with pita, the beets, and the roasted parsnips to start. Everything was delicious but the parsnips were an absolute home run, everyone at the table was blown away by how flavorful such a simple veggie could be. For entrees, some of the favorites at the table were the Phos Gyro, Sea Scallops, and the Swordfish special. You can really tell everything is farm-to-table, it's all so fresh and flavorful. I'm super excited about this spot, I can't wait to visit again the next time I'm in town!

I've been dying to come here ever since I drove by a month ago. Finally! It's a nice, clean…read morerestaurant with great service! We started with some appetizers of cigar rolls and falafel. Mmmm delicious. The cigar rolls were so good we ordered another one. It comes with five rolls and a side of tahini. Crispy and fluffy with feta. The falafel comes halved and was crispy and delicious. Everyone pretty much tried everyone's dish because you just had to. I got the chicken shish. It came with a generous amount of char grilled juicy chicken chunks on a flat pita with a generous portion of yellow rice and a side salad. Dinner mate got the braised lamb shank and the other got the braised short ribs. They both came with generous sides. The asparagus was nice and tender. The short ribs just melted in my mouth. The chicken kavourma came fancy and just bursted with flavor with lots of chicken and vegetables. I didn't get to try the lamb because it got gobbled down so fast. The strawberry mimosa was delicious too. A must try in that row of restaurants on Madison. We got the best spot in the house, the window seat, where we saw people walking their dogs and lots of friendly people waving with their dogs and cars with dogs and cool cars driving by. Very entertaining for a seven year old. Baklava with ice cream for dessert. Amazing! They do not have a kids menu so if you have a picky eater, plan ahead! We did make a reservation for a party of five.

So glad we chose to eat here on a random Wednesday evening. So surprised that there weren't busy…read morebecause the food was outstanding and it's not expensive. Turkish Mousaka was delicious, Ali Nazik (cubed lamb) was outstanding. Poached Pear and baklava and two scoops of ice cream was a perfect ending. And don't forget a bottle of Pinot Grigio that was only $38. $131 before tip was extremely reasonable. Highly recommended.
