“ Great fish on Friday (starts at 5 pm). Generous portions! Certainly not a fine dining place but cozy and friendly. Women's bathroom could use an update. ”
“ Food wasn't bad I'd go again. But the waitress was slow as all heck. And I don't think it was slow I think she just didn't pay attention to the customers like she should have. (Maybe she don't know how to multitask?) Example we all had menus down and was ready to order and she was doing something else that could have waited. Idk she just needs to be more attentive to the customers. Food came out slow today and was a bit cold. ”
“ My wife and I stopped here for a lunch on a whim while heading to the laundromat in Vassar. So very happy that we stopped here! Our waitress was professional and cheerful, as it was late breakfast time, there was a few people there on the Sunday at 11:30 AM when we stopped. At the time, there was mostly older families enjoying a late breakfast. We had to wait till noon to get my bloody Mary; however, that was just fine. Our lunches were delicious! Both sandwiches were huge and served with homemade chips. They do have a AMI jukebox, which made it kind of nice. I'm sure they do a great business in need! ”
“ If you want to go somewhere with that small town feel of an diner/ bar for either breakfast lunch or dinner this is the place to go ! Good food especially for brunch :) ”
“ Good food & nice downtown location. Home cooking. Large parking lot in back of restaurant. ”
“ A "nicer" bar and grill operation with a rustic atmosphere, and after two stops here, I'm impressed. Went in last Friday for dinner; the Saloon was nearly full, but being alone, I took a bar seat. Three or four craft beer selections were on tap, and I got a Revolution IPA. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad for dinner, and I knew at first glance I wasn't to leave hungry. It was big, with fresh greens piled high on a platter and a generous scattering of spicy chicken chunks. I could have used less of the shredded cheddar, especially when the bleu cheese (which is key to buffalo chicken) was abundant to begin with. Next time I'll have it left off. Overall, though, a very satisfying meal. Today I visited for lunch and discovered a menu of $5 lunch specials (see pic). I got the burger + 1/2 order of fries, and honestly, there may not be a better $5 burger deal around. It features a 1/3 lb. patty, which was juicy and flavorful despite being well done (the bartender hadn't asked me how I wanted it cooked and I was too hungry to think about it). I splurged for the "deluxe" version (.30 upcharge), which includes lettuce/onions/tomato/mayo. The veggie toppings were all fresh and complemented the meat well. Fries were a little on the soft side, but still fine. Service was friendly on both occasions, though the bartender was kind of swamped on the Friday night and I did wait longer than I'd have liked to order and pay, but that's what you can expect when you dine in prime time at what has to be one of Vassar's best chow houses. ”
