Wanted something light as this was a wellness appointment so didn't want to feel full, but also something I could eat after. So hotdogs and chowder it was. They didn't have chowder at first so went with two cheese dogs and as I was checking out they had it so bought some as well. Loved the buttered grilled buns. Dogs could have been crispier for my preference but cheese needed to be on there longer to get more melted. Good flavor with the chowder but needs more filling, I like it thick. I am not up this way often but looking forward to next time and trying something more meal like than a quick snack.

I had heard about Captain Jack's from several people, and was craving a lobster roll, so made the…read more30-mile trip. Not an easy place for my GPS to find, as it's hidden from the road. Plenty of parking, and very impressed with the outdoor seating (some covered, some exposed). Order and pay at one window. Pick up at another. Busy place early afternoon, but my wait time only about 10 minutes. Lobster roll excellent, the smallish bun being overstuffed. I ordered the onion rings instead of fries and was disappointed that they were NOT onion rings. Onion strings (or some people call them onion straws) were given. Large mass of oily straws. Open year-round, although reduced hours off-season. Interesting menu, with various hot dog, chicken, and seafood options. I would rate the lobster roll as 4.5, and the glob of onions as a 2.5. Overall, 4 stars.

The maple mayo was a little too sweet, especially paired with the sweet potato fries, which are already on the sweeter side. The chipotle ketchup didn't have much of a chipotle flavor either.

Round Two: The burger came to play, however, the vibe is still under investigation…read more This was my second visit. The first was boring and bland. The second? A definite improvement. Character development! We love to see it. Both visits were during lunch, and the place was practically empty. Which, honestly, is fine by me. I had a typical cheese burger, and it was good, no complaints or wow's. Think Five Guys vibes: melted cheese, juicy, gooey, and gloriously messy. And let me be clear: a burger should require napkins and possibly a change of clothes. If I can eat it without making a complete ass of myself, is it even a burger? Just my palated opinion. Now, the atmosphere? I'm still confused. There's a bar, there's a stage, so I'm assuming this place transforms into THE destination on Thirsty Thursday or after the sun goes down. During lunch, though, it's giving upscale fast food having an identity crisis. You order at the counter, grab a placard, and the staff brings your food. Maybe a soda or frappe bar during the day; thinking Swig vibes!! There's also a small lounge-type area tucked into the corner near the bar, which, when the place is empty, appears to double as the staff's unofficial break room. The food is showing promise, but I haven't quite figured out the personality of this place yet. Maybe I need to experience its after-dark alter ego before passing judgment? Perhaps the real party starts when the lunch crowd disappears. Or perhaps I'm missing the secret handshake. Two visits in, the burger has my attention. The vibe is still very much on probation.

That said, the food was seasoned well and everything tasted good. The service was also great, and I really enjoyed the mimosa! Overall, it wasn't a bad experience at all, I just don't think I was really in the mood for breakfast today. My only hesitation was the price; breakfast for two with one coffee one mimosa came out to about $54, which felt a little pricey to me. However, this is the economy we live in. I'd definitely say it's worth trying if you're a breakfast person, especially for the good service and mimosas!

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.
