    I have been wanting to come here for months, and my only regret is not coming sooner! First- the staff is incredibly hospitable. They were friendly, helpful and smiling. Great way to start the morning! I was also impressed with the way our waitress didn't just have the specials memorized but she also added in extra details and flourish in her descriptions. It was a nice touch! We got some LAB treats for the table to start... and those were soooo good! Fluffy, crunchy, mostly sweet but the melba sauce cut it perfectly with a tiny bit of tang. My MIL and I both got the brisket enchiladas. Basically they're the same as the breakfast enchiladas on the menu, but with brisket as well. Holy cow, were these good! The brisket was perfectly tender and the enchiladas were bursting with flavor. I have thought about them every day since we had them! My husband got loaded Cookies and Cream French toast. I didn't try it as I don't have much of a sweet tooth in the morning... but he sure does, and it definitely hit the spot for him! It looked beautiful and had so many yummy components to it. My FIL got a brisket platter which came with brisket, eggs and home fries. He asked for his home friend deep fried instead and they were very accommodating. He's pretty picky about his BBQ so hearing him continually say "oh that's good" felt like a big deal! He only wished it came with toast. All in all, this is easily one of the most delicious breakfasts we have had in a while! I love that they have "regular" breakfast foods but that they also are creative with their meals and have so many more options than a basic breakfast. You can also taste just how much they care and love what they do. Im already planning our next visit!

    We visited Buck Hill Farm at the recommendation of our Airbnb host while we were staying in the…read morearea for the weekend & what a surprise it was! The exterior is misleading & easy to pass by if you're not in the know - don't let it fool you! Breakfast is only served on weekends between 8 AM & 1 PM & we just happened to be there. Service was extra warm & welcoming - we had our pup with us & it was a not so great weekend weather wise & while we offered to order & sit outside at a table as to not disrupt other diners, they managed to put us in their back room so no one had to eat out in the cold (Pepper can't write her own review, but she says thank you, two paws up!) While the menu is small, one item is better than the next & you can't go wrong no matter what you choose! Prices are reasonable for everything you get & in today's economy, it's a rare find! The apple pancakes were to die for & honestly, the biggest pancakes I've ever seen! Fresh biscuits with maple butter (YUM!) Don't pass up on the extra creamy & delicious chocolate milk! Seriously - can I get an IV drip of that? This place is the embodiment of farm to table (obviously). Zero frills, but full authenticity of a working farm. Wonderful place & wonderful people. They have lots of their goods for sale too, so you can take Buck Hill Farm home with you! We bought their delicious bourbon maple syrup, fresh herbal tea, hot sauce, & took some ribs back to the house to grill for Father's Day! Plenty of full & happy bellies even after leaving the farm. After breakfast, swing by the chicken coop & thank the ladies for the delicious eggs! LOL We hope to visit again next time we are in the area!

So if you want friendly service,great food and reasonable prices, you should consider this diner. I had the meatloaf with French fries and gravy. And a cup of stuffed pepper soup. Both were Very good. I overheard the server saying that they also serve Mac salad topped with gravy. I had already eaten my lunch so I'm saving that for next time. I've visited this diner more than a few times. Mostly breakfast and lunch. I haven't been disappointed yet. Thanks Ashly and the rest of the crew. This place is worth a try. Nothing fancy but a good meal to be had by all.

Miss Johnstown diner is what I dream a diner would be no-frills just good food and cooks that control the whole restaurant by themselves if not just for the good food, but for the experience of what a true diner should be with a flat top and how a cook does their trade is worth the experience. I highly recommend it. Don't expect a lot of frills just good service and good food. After your meal Just a little ways down the street is a park with a memorial to the soldiers and sailors of the Civil War, which is worth taking pictures and looking at

    We finally got the time to go out and try this place and were underwhelmed for the usual amount of…read morewait time there is here. Seating is crowded, service--while overall nice--was rude when it came to the server we got. She may have been having a bad day, but definitely ended up taking it out on us. Ended up making us feel very unwelcome to the point we decided it was better to try and just get going. The granola was stale alongside the underripe blackberries in the parfait we'd ordered. Had an eye for something sweetly comforting and the food just doesn't match up. Overall, for the wait it has, it's not worth the mediocre food inside. Also, unrelated, but not exactly a place to stop by, get some coffee, and read as you'd maybe look for in a café. So if that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend elsewhere.

    Oh My YUM! Sweet Mimi's is a must when you visit Saratoga…read moreSprings. They do not accept reservations so don't be surprised if there is a wait... even on a Thursday late morning. We didn't have to wait long. I think maybe like 10 minutes. It's a small quaint restaurant on Phila Street not far off of Broadway. We walked here from our hotel (Hilton) as parking anywhere/everywhere in Saratoga can be a challenge. There is street parking right in front of Sweet Mimi's but it'll probably be taken so you should probably just walk. And you'll appreciate the walk to help burn off a few calories of Sweet Mimi's delicious offerings. (And there are plenty to partake in.) We enjoyed the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and the Mediterranean Omelette. We did not leave disappointed. In fact, our tastebuds and tummies were so happy with our choices. The omelette actually came with the same challah bread that the french toast was made from. If I lived closer, I'd be buying that challah bread every week. It's so freakin' good! The french toast is HUGE! Really... you should share it. The several bites I took were incredibly satisfying. The cinnamon was just right. And because it was already sweet... we opted to forgo the syrup. The french toast also came with a bunch of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries!! The med omelette was filled with sausage, spinach and tomatoes. I loved every bite. I don't know when we'll be back tin Saratoga... but I will definitely be coming back to Sweet Mimi's when I do.

There's a live band at least earlier in the evening. We were there on a Wednesday with a prefix menu - farm to table veggie meal with option of adding grilled chicken.

Food was very good, great presentation - delicious creamy cucumber soup, mushroom quinoa and peach upside down cake (at $44 and $50 with chicken it was quite reasonable).

Highly recommend reservations or you might not get a chance to eat here. If you have a wheelchair you must also make a note when reserving online or you might have to wait for a table on the main floor. Other than all the waiting the food was amazing and the presentation was awesome as well. I loved the whole concept of eating in a greenhouse and being surrounded by all the plants. The menu changes all the time and everything is exceptionally fresh. We had the curried hummus appetizer and it was very well seasoned. The burrata was also really good and filling. Hubby had the soba noodles which I normally am not a fan of BUT these ones were so well dressed with a creamy sauce it was packed with flavor and this is the only place I'd eat it at. We had carrot cake for dessert, the oasis smoothie was next level and a vegan ice cream. Honestly haven't been so impressed with a restaurants food in so long and I WILL be a regular customer for sure!

We just ordered burgers and fries, but they were fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere, and exactly what we needed after a morning of baseball. And Karen was absolutely wonderful! She was the exact opposite of the definition of a "Karen." She was smiling, welcoming, genuinely excited to have us there, and just an absolute joy. Then there was the Long Island Iced Tea. After spending the entire morning at the baseball field and heading into the afternoon, YES, I needed one! Stephan made it, and I have to say, it was probably one of the best Long Island Iced Teas I've ever had. Phenomenal! So, if you're looking for a place in Cooperstown to grab a great meal, have a good drink, and get a little much-needed mental health time after baseball, this is your place! Thank you, Double Day Cafe, for knocking it out of the park! Great food, great drinks, and even better people. We'll definitely be back! If you want a good meal and good drinks in Cooperstown, come here!
