I visited the Whistling Kettle in Ballston Spa for brunch with a couple of friends and had a mixed…read moreexperience. We arrived right when they opened at 10 a.m. and were seated immediately, which was great. We initially considered sitting inside, but the smell of eggs was so overwhelming/nauseating that we opted for outdoor seating instead. The patio was charming and cozy. The service was friendly, attentive, and one of the highlights of our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. We all ordered the brunch tower, which included a "fruit salad" that consisted of squishy grapes, sour Granny Smith apple chunks, and canned mandarin oranges. The fruit tasted low quality and unappetizing, and I only managed a few bites. I also ordered the bananas foster crepe, which was severely overcooked. The crepe was so tough that I needed a knife to cut through it, and the texture was far from what I would expect from a crepe. Overall, while the service was pleasant and seating was prompt, the food quality left a lot to be desired, especially considering the price point.

This is the place to go for dried chiles like ancho, guajillo and pasilla, which used to be…read moreavailable at local supermarkets but no more. They are hand packed and sold in large bags for $10, which is more than I need or wanted to pay but in the end too many chiles is a nice problem to have because it means a lot of Mexican cooking. There are a variety of other Mexican grocery items like epazote and chocolate, and I was tempted by some cute tortilla baskets behind the counter. I didn't order food but the menu appeals. In addition to expected items like burritos and enchiladas there are tortas (Mexican sub), tlayudas (Mexican pizza) and huaraches (a stretched-out tostada) and I plan to return to give them a try. This appears to be a one-person shop, so call your order in or expect to wait if they are busy.

I had the tlayuda which I never had before with pork and it was a huge tortilla sandwich cut into two pieces. My friend had the chicken enchiladas and my other had the chicken milanese, and it all was great. Not a fancy place but a must go to if you want really amazing Mexican food.

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.

I had the "Day After" Turkey Panini with homemade apple stuffing and cranberry mayonnaise. But, the standout was the cup of their award winning chowder to start. It arrived at the table with a crab Rangoon stuff wonton and bacon bits on top. It was amazing!!! The cafe is full of neighborhood love and kindness. The service is amazing: friendly and prompt. And, I couldn't get over the story of how the cafe was inspired. The owners wife died of breast cancer at the age of 42 and this place is his love letter to her memory. If you live within an hours drive time of this place RUN don't walk to try this restaurant. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

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!

So we got her plate of food yesterday and it was awesome. It should last for a few days the salad was fresh and a lovely tomatoes olives little cherry peppers cucumber and onions. At a lovely white balsamic vinegar there is a five slices of garlic butter bread. And the chicken was beautiful too big pieces I think it's too she got one third I got one quarter and the rest is going to get her through the rest of the week with everything else in her apartment. It had arugula on it fresh cut tomatoes some onion slices and parmesan cheese on top. The breading was perfect they put a lemon cut in half on either corners of the tray. Everything's packaged so well. The order online is so easy. I think at the end of the week they have less desserts but they still have desserts. They're strawberry cake is awesome I got that months ago with the shrimp scampi risotto which was awesome. The menu doesn't say it comes with a salad but the family meals come with a salad. If it does say it comes with the salad I can't find it. Everything is so easy and so good. They're right on rolling Street and look what looks like used to be a small ranch house but they have it designed really lovely. I wish they were closer to where I am off exit 15. We were in a hurry no pictures were taken but our stomachs were mightily satisfied. Our taste buds quite enjoyed all the flavors. They are strictly a business you go to because you are ordering food to take home which I like. I like to take my food and bring it home to sit on the couch and watch some tv.
