We were here for our daughter's graduation and what a let down the experience was quite honestly. From no silverware brought for our main entrée which we had to ask for and all she did was laugh, to a snarky comment that I didn't make it come back on because I didn't want to embarrass my daughter on her graduation day Service 1 star The kind of money you spend to take a family of four out and have drinks, appetizers, food, and dessert. You just can't have service like this and get away with it. I personally won't be back.

It's a small kitchen and family owned...so if a larger order happens to get ahead of yours, just have patience...or maybe a second bev. Or play some pool. Or put a tune on in the digital jukebox. We had a mix of items: buffalo wings, hot honey wings, sweet potato fries, regular fries, and jalapeño poppers. Everything was served hot and crispy with just the right heat on everything (that was supposed to be spicy). I'm a BIG hot honey fan so I will definitely be back for those wings. Lots of other stuff on the menu including salads, burgers, and sandwiches. Even though my Guinness came from a can, it was a good poor and I enjoyed it thoroughly (since it's been a while since I've had one). Plenty of other drink options on tap plus a full bar. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Holy Moses happens to be on the snowmobile trail, so it was pretty cool to see a bunch of people stopping in for snacks and drinks.

She also got plain mozzarella sticks ( about 5 ) for $11.95 which was not a good choice. Will try again someday.

After checking Yelp for suggestions, Crescent Wrench popped up as a suggestion. A short time later we arrived at the Wrench. Upon entering the Barmaid/Waitress greeted us with a warm hello. We took a table and were immediately asked what beverage we wanted. We each found something off the menu that sounded good. I ordered the hot Italian Combo which came with fries. My wife had the hamburger quesadilla and she loved it. Both were hot and very good. The Tavern isn't huge, but it is cozy and this is what I'd call a Home Town Tavern.

This restaurant housed Pam's pub and was probably taken on by new management in the last year or so. Overall the place is a perfect place if you like to watch football. The place was packed with football enthusiasts watching the game, drinking beer, refilling popcorn and screaming as their team scores or messes up. This is a true American joint with typical American food. Wings were decent, quesadilla, macaroni salad and fries were great. I'm yet to eat the wrap as I was stuffed and had to bring it home. Overall a great place that's tucked away in a strip mall. Most of the seating is on bar stools with swivel chairs that actually gets you a better view of different games.

Crowd was pretty good for a later dining time and during Covid. Waitress was quick to take drink orders and they had a nice selection of local beers. We just went for apps this night. Potstickers, pretzel and the cheesesteak egg rolls. All were tasty but the egg rolls were the star. Tasty and cooked right. Potstickers had a great dipping sauce and were a nice mix of crispy and chewy. Only down side is that the entrance door opens to the outside and doesn't self-close. A few patrons left door open and the diners had to get up and close as it was bitter cold this night. Small parking lot but the if you need to park a bock away, it's a nice little walk. There were kids here and definitely kid friendly.

What a nice little spot inside this building. First off, I recommend looking inside the bar area…read morebefore being sat, as there is a much larger dining area in the back room with the bar. When you walk in, it looks like a very small tasting area, but the music is playing and it's much more to look at than the tables in the entrance way. Service was quite friendly and they are smart to have the tap list on a larger chalkboard right inside the door, so making up your mind on what VT beer to enjoy takes less time to decide. Had to order the spicy deep fried cheese curds and these were fantastic. Just enough spice and perfect little guilt-free bites of curds. Mmmm. For my meal, I decided on the Chicken Caesar wrap (one of their specials for the day) and was less thrilled about this choice. It was served grilled and hot, so a warm, thin layer of lettuce, with a grilled chicken (2-3 solid pieces) in there. Dressing was served on the side and the menu made no mention of any of this, so it was boring and lacked any real flavors unless you dipped it into the dressing very awkwardly. My buddy's chicken sandwich lacked any sort of flavor as well. Fries (both sweet potato and regular) were super heavy on salt. Beer was solid, so it washed down a very mediocre, salty meal after starting off with a bang with those curds. Bummer. I guess I'll stick with strictly appetizers on my next visit.

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!

It had a nice casual feel, like where all the locals go to gather, but for 3 people splitting 2 apps, 3 entrees, and 3 alcoholic drinks, our tab came in at over $150 and we just didn't feel like we had a meal worthy of that. We parked out back where it appears they might offer boat/trailer parking too, but it was off season so there were plenty of spots. The interior had these cool flickering lights that mimicked fire lit lanterns, and there was lots of wood for a cozy intimate feeling. The lake view was underutilized though; the were seating people in the back half only, which I didn't quite understand when such a good view was available. There's also a stone patio with some seating but it was a little too cold for us to be eating out there. The pretzel sticks were great; perfect level of salt and paired with a good beer cheese. Mozzarella sticks portion size was pretty small; it would not be an app I recommend sharing with more than 2 people. I got the tavern salad and both of my parents got the roast beef melt. My salad was a bit bland despite everything added to it; there just wasn't enough of any one topping to carry the flavor through the whole salad. I added on grilled chicken and that was very simple, nothing wow-worthy, and turned this into an almost $20 salad. My parents enjoyed their sandwiches. My dad got his with fries and my mom paid the $2 up charge for onion rings. For drinks, my dad got a Jim & ginger, I got the 1911 seasonal cider, and my mom tried their coconut mojito. My dad and I were perfectly a happy with our drinks, but my mom was very unimpressed with her's. My waitress did forget to bring a fork for my salad and we easily waited 5-10 mins to get her attention, and even tried flagging down two other waitresses too, so that wasn't fun. But otherwise our waitress was very personable and kind, and very apologetic about the delay with the fork. The food quality that we got though just still didn't seem like $150 experience, so I'm not sure we'll be rushing back here.
