Very lovely. It had a vibe that reminded me of the Midwest. The food was phenomenal but the waitress didn't seem like she cared about us and she seemed unappreciative of us even though we tipped good when she wasn't exactly keeping good eye on us. Still a great place though!

Farmer's skillet and French toast

My husband and I just moved to town so we decided to try this place. It's very small town and felt like we were back in time. Not a bad thing though: everyone seemed to know each other and the wait staff were very friendly. It is cash only. I got the farmers hot plate (forgot the actual name) which was home-fries, sautéed mushrooms and onions with sausage gravy and eggs on top. It was a heaping portion and very tasty for only 7.95. My husband got the French toast and they used some of the thickest bread possible. It came with a choice of meat, fried potatoes and eggs. He was very happy with his meal. Between 2 breakfast entrees, coffee and juice, we only spent $20. Will definitely return.

Sausage eggs and cheese omelet.  I love black pepper.  I added that touch !

Literally Mid Way to know where in particular we stumbled across this out dated country cafe. The staff was friendly enough. Coffee was fresh enough, and the food was good enough. I had the sausage and Swiss omelette with a side of sausage came with home fries and toast. My daughter got the biscuits and gravy. I asked if the house was homemade and I was informed no, so I opted out. Still, everything was good. Service was Quick and efficient and the coffee was good, what more do you want !

Food was delicious, stopped here as Yelp advised it was close to my destination. Had the pancake breakfast with eggs, bacon & sausage. Small quiet mom and pop shop, exactly what I needed! If your are traveling this is well worth the stop.

Ok, I was skeptical walking in here. It's very old school diner look - which you never know how that will work out. However, the food is REALLY good diner food! Big menu, dinner specials that are a great value - comes with entree, salad, soup, coffee and desert. Great prices, great food, and fast, no-nonsense service. A must stop if you are in the area and craving that throw back diner food. YUM!

We came here for my husbands birthday dinner. I had not heard of it before but he wanted seafood…read moreand this had great reviews so we made the reservation. It is right on the river and reminded me of the many Jersey shore seafood houses on the bays and ocean. The service was excellent, sharing information about the meals, answering questions, and assisting with my dietary needs (GF and DF). My husband, brother and sister-in-law tried the calamari as that's what they're known for. They said it did not disappoint. It was crispy, tender, not greasy and not too heavily breaded. The different sauces you can get on the side are delicious as well and add a unique touch to a simple dish. Dinner was amazing. I had the broiled seafood trio that was absolutely delectable. Tender white fish, perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp. The focus was on the seafood and not trying to overdo the sauces. It was a simple lemon white wine sauce that was delicious and made me want to go back. My husband had a lobster roll which was enormous and he said it was one of the best he's had. The rest of the table had fish and chips and Baja tacos which were all delicious. The fish and chips were not overly breaded or greasy, the fries were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Baja tacos were refreshing with a lovely cilantro lime slaw. Of course the birthday boy had key lime pie for dessert because life is too short not to. He said it was light, creamy and perfectly tart. We can't wait to go back!

We found Yanni's Too when looking for a restaurant near Albany. And WOW, the clam bake, signature…read morecalamari, and onion rings were amazing! The clam bake was off their specials menu which they had a full list of. It's a primarily a seafood restaurant but there's definitely something for everyone. They had steak on the menu if fish and crustaceans are not your thing. All around great vibes, we had a table outdoors by the marina and the view was incredible.

This place is awesome…read more Built in 2021 definitely some great new restaurant vibes in addition everything is very clean here. I'm not a beer snob so I appreciate them having some classic on tap like Coors and Guinness. There other beer selections are good too. Great watermelon margarita. The food was the best part. I had the ribs which were definitely home made and very tasty. Carolina vs Memphis bbq sauce. Cornbread is superb a little spicy for me with the jalapeño in it.

Definitely a locals place. We waited for about 10 minutes while watching the servers and staff walk by us, I understood as they were busy. Maybe short staffed? After standing at the entrance for 10 minutes, next to the wait to be seated sign, we realized you have to walk up to the register to actually get a seat. I spoke to the girl behind the register and she said she would clear an empty table for us. We waited another 10 minutes at the entrance and the table remained dirty, so I again went to someone and asked for an empty table. There were now at least 3 clean ones around the perimeter. A waitress told us to sit at another cleaned one. We sat and waited another 10 minutes to be acknowledged and get water. We then waited another 10 minutes to be told they didn't have the beer listed on the board that my partner asked for. We would have been better off getting our own beverage at the bar that was just across from us. Then again waited a while to get a second choice. The food was served in a timely manner and was better than I expected after our initial experience. I got a salad I liked, it was super fresh and the chicken was moist and flavorful. My partner liked his burger and fries, it was cooked as ordered and flavorful. The menu is pretty big and looks like there is something for everyone. By this time it had slowed down a bit so we got the check in a timely manner. We sat to casually relax and finish our beer after cashing out on the digital platform (toast). We left and got into the car. When backing out, the waitress was at our window knocking and telling us we didn't pay our bill. Never have I ever experienced this and never would we ever do such a thing. My partner explained no, we paid using the digital platform and that we would never do that and she insisted we did not. After pulling up our digital PAID receipt to show her did she casually say, "Oh, ok." And walk away. Honestly, it was not the way we wanted to end our experience there. Not sure I'll return here especially with so many other places to go that we've had good experiences at. It's unfortunate because I wanted to love this place.

If you're someone who loves dining by the water, Boathouse Grille in New Baltimore is definitely…read moreworth adding to your summer list! The large outdoor seating area overlooks the beautiful Hudson River, making it the perfect place to relax while watching boats cruise by, water skiers in action, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront views. There's also a spacious gazebo-style seating area that's perfect for taking pictures. If outdoor dining isn't your thing, there's plenty of comfortable indoor seating as well. The menu features classic American favorites, occasional prime rib specials, weekly specials, and a full bar. During my visit, we ordered the fish and chips with onion rings to share. The fish was light, flaky, and perfectly crispy, and the fries were delicious. The only thing I would change is that the onion rings seemed to have extra salt sprinkled on them. They were still good, but I'd prefer to season them myself. For dessert, we tried the lemon cake and the strawberry cake. Both were absolutely delicious! I personally can't eat strawberries, so be sure to check out my video for the live dessert tasting. This is definitely going into my regular summer rotation--especially on evenings when they have live music or a band playing. Great food, beautiful waterfront views, and a relaxing atmosphere...what more could you ask for?
