    Unfortunately, I would like to leave a harvest host review also but am unable to do to computer glitch. I'm leaving a review here because we had the best time. They allowed us as harvest host to come in early, which was a good thing because this is a happening place. If we had not gotten there in the time we did, we would've never been able to park there. They have a giant parking area, but as I said before, it's the place to be in town for people 20 to 50 years old. They have outside beach volleyball, horseshoes, and other games. The daytime bartender was amazing. I recommend the food also as we did not have anything that wasn't extremely tasty. If you have a chance to have the blueberry beer, do it.

    We stopped in to check the spot out for a special event. We loved the really fun atmosphere. They had a lovely big bar, ample seating, a billards room, and a dart board. They even have a stage. They have specials that include $1 oyster Thursdays, Taco night. Karaoke and live music on the weekends. We ordered the blackened chicken sandwich and shrimp po boy. I loved the fact that they were blackened and not breaded shrimp, and they lemon aioli was to die for. I like that the fries were seasoned and crisp. For beverages, I got a dirty Shirley, and my husband opted for a regular Shirley Temple. Service was prompt, and they were happy to accommodate our allergies and wishes. We definitely will return to try the jambalaya and gumbo. They also have alligator bites and beignets.

    Great place to see live music on a Friday night. A little too loud for conversation, but that's to be expected. I have to remove a star for the extremely long wait - two hours for just a salad and a quesadilla - but the staff was friendly and apologetic. I'd most likely go back and give them another chance in the future.

    White chicken wings and less than appealing/tasting "dip"!

    The steamed clams for $15/dz were soaked in an awful juice of some sort! Gator bites were chewy, not flavorful the dip was like mayonnaise! The white chicken wings were extremely dry, bacon was way over cooked, the jambalaya looked like vomit, tasted like the chicken was soaked in propane. Fried pickles were WHOLE spears and the dip was again mayonnaise!! Would NOT recommend this place at all!!

    Seems to be a very popular place at least on Thursday afternoons during happy hour. I believe they do 25 cent wings on Thursdays during h.h. (11-7 every day except Sunday), so yeah, that's probably why. They run a standard h.h. beer pour special of buy one get one half off, and that's every day of the week from 11-7 except Sundays. Not bad. They have 24 libations on tap, most being craft beers. I tried a couple of different ones that I uploaded pictures of. Some of the beers on tap the day I visited: Founders Breakfast Stout, Shmaltz 518 Foggy Goggles IPA (which I really like), Barrier 6 American IPA (also very, very good), Sloop Liquid Sorcery, several Goose Island drafts, a Sixpoint, and a Singlecut (out of Queens, NY) Beersmith's IPA (also excellent!) and obviously many more. They certainly do food here, but this time 'round we didn't order grub. The interior decor kinda reminded me of New Orleans, but wasn't super convincing...and that's ok. I like that they have a sizeable stage in the corner and obviously bring in live music acts as well. Next time I'm here, I'll try some food and do and updated review. Beertender service was quite good and friendly, despite the fact they were busy. The two women running the bar were attentive and patient as we made multiple choices and both checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were all good. Nice.

    Good selection of craft beers.

    First time at The Galley Bar and Grill and honestly, it hit the spot after a long, hard day of yard…read morework. Located right on the corner of U.S. Route 9 and Malta Ave in Ballston Spa, the outside is pretty low-key. The parking lot was a bit dark, with most of the light coming from the building itself but don't let that fool you. You walk in and you're right at the bar , with plenty of seating barside or table, if that's your vibe. Not into sitting up front? No problem, there's additional seating in the back for a more relaxed feel. Service was a win. Our waiter was courteous, attentive, and accommodating without hovering. Now the food, the Gooouda Burger caught my eye immediately. I ordered it bunless, wrapped in buttery romaine lettuce, topped with crispy bacon and fried onions. Paired it with their straw fries (seriously good) and a cold beer to wash it down. First bite? Exactly what you want. Food to temp, everything was crisp not soggy, the burger was cooked perfectly, even at well done, which is not easy to pull off. I can only speak for the burger, but based on that alone: don't judge this place by its exterior. Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised. (And yes... the picture is of a burger I couldn't wait to bite into )

    The galley is a super cute local bar with sea themed decor. Service was fast and the food came out…read morepretty fast as well. I loved the buffalo wrap and the sweet potato fries. My partner didn't really enjoy his melt, it was lacking cheese and I think it may have been a little too greasy. The coleslaw was phenomenal however. We struggled a bit with parking because there was volleyball going on that night, but overall a good experience.

The price is on the higher side for this area but at the same time you have several things to factor in.. everything tastes homemade including the soups, the portions are large (my mom and I both had leftovers), and you are at a golf course as well so that already sets an expectation for elevated cost in my mind. The service was very friendly and you can tell they work hard, everyone is readily available to help you out while also constantly moving and making sure everyone has everything they need / having efficient table touches, etc. I had the Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo & my mother got the Ribeye.. they were both huge lol but they were also both cooked and prepared perfectly! They have a TON of alcohol selections - for seltzer / can people like myself FYI - they have High Noon, Truly, Surfside, all the good ones! The ambiance is great, it was pretty much a full house when we came and everyone was clearly enjoying themselves. The room when you first walk in has lots of tables by big windows and a bar, and then the back left hand side is full of gorgeous murals covering the walls and additional seating kind of in its own little corner. Overall, definitely recommend this place for a drink and a really nice dinner. Just come hungry and allow yourself the option to go home after with some leftovers! For our meals plus an alcohol beverage each, it was $70 or so, plus a tip.

    Great food. Great prices! Probably 1 of the top restaurants around! Everyone loved their food…read moreand had lots of leftovers because the portions were so big!

    I went to Ballston Lakeview Tavern tonight and it was the WORST experience I have every had in my…read moreentire life! Tonight, they were busy, my family was told about a 25-minute wait, cool. We waited about 30 minutes, and a few tables cleared, some people were seated and 1 table was left clean and empty. Ten minutes after the table was cleared the hostess came up to us (2 adults, 2 children) and expressed that there was a table paying and she would seat us soon. That table never happened. Five minutes later a family of 7 paid and we were offered their table. I did mention how there were other tables cleaned already and sat at the table that was offered at that time. After finally being seated, we sat for 10-15 minutes without any service. Then the owner Jayson Hunter, addressed the seating arrangements with an adjacent table instead of directly addressing our concerns. Since I am the person who said something about the seating arrangements, he could have came to us instead of being a fucking coward and talking shit to a table that has no idea why he is explaining his seating arrangements! Second, the fucking cockroach that came wondering out looking very lost like he didn't know what to do was it for us! If my kid didn't have my phone at that moment (he just waited over 50 minutes to eat) I would have taken a picture of the roach too We decided to leave! Be aware when you step into his restaurant in Ballston Spa and 20 North in Schenectady! My husband asked for a manager and expressed to her the issues, when Jayson saw me start to record, he avoided the conversation leaving what may be his wife, to handle the situation?!?!! They both walked out side of the restaurant while we were leaving to watch us?!?!? I will never visit Ballston Lakeview Tavern or 20 north again. While this may seem small to your business, I promise Karma is a Bi*** and I sure hope you learn some customer service Skills!
