Ye Old Fort Diner — Restaurant in Town of Fort Edward

Went here for lunch after our hot air balloon ride on Oct. 23rd. Local Americana decorated diner that was easy to find and had parking across the street. We just mssed breakfast and so had to order lunch. Waitress was nice and took our orders for open faced roast beef for my wife and open faced turkey for myself. My wife felt the roast beef tasted old and while she did eat part of it she also had some of my turkey which she thought was much better.

If that might matter to a potential customer. I like eating at privately owned diners. I was very...

Great small town diner feel. The walls and shelves are stuffed with knick knacks obviously collected over years of personal tastes and joys. This is the type of place that corporate restaurants try to imitate. We tried this out while visiting a friend. Ye Olde Fort Diner was filled with old friends who bantered with each other casually. We were immediately greeted as though we'd been coming for years. The coffee was good. The service was friendly. When we got our breakfasts, they were exactly the comfort food we'd hoped for. Bacon cooked like you would hope for and fluffy pancakes with just-right scrambled eggs. If you're looking for a homey feel and great comfort food at very reasonable prices, Ye Old Fort Diner is an...
