OPEN RAIN OR SHINE!
PROS: Playground on site Healthy options on the menu Great atmosphere, covered area to order and watch the rain! Plenty of tables to enjoy Large menu Ice cream is still under $4 a person at this joint! So happy for this (refuse to attend ice cream locations where they’re $6.50 for a small) Carhop service on site! Order online (Delivery & Pickup!) we live 10 miles away in Wilton, and it took my address. Just remember to tip your delivery driver 🙃 just 20 min from Saratoga race track, come and get your yummy on after a long day or fun!
CONS: standard beverages are a bit pricey
Our meal last evening was delicious and what I loved was that the owner was working with their team taking orders, cleaning tables, making sure their guests are taken care of.
We enjoyed the grilled chicken wrap, messy fingers, grilled cheese, tater tots and curly fries with 3 drinks - for 3 meals, the food came up to $38 and the beverages were right around $10. They do have kids meals, but our son doesn’t eat the food selections for the complimentary drink and fries.
Portions were good! It was around 4 oz of grilled chicken, which was perfect! 26g of protein give or take - added bacon it was super delicious. The kitchen can toss the grilled chicken in any sauce and they grill the wrap as well to seal in that juicy flavor.
Our son’s grilled cheese was perfect! It was perfectly golden brown and melted with no mess.
Our fries and taters came out perfectly fried with nothing undercooked or overcooked - they were made fresh.
Our order came out in less than 5 minutes - just enough time to settle in at a table.
We’ve been here a few times this year so far. Hands down, we love the playground! Many restaurants in the area don’t have a playground for the kiddos unless it’s McDonald’s. I do wish there were more than two tables at the playground, but I think that when it’s really busy they need the additional parking - one thing to consider would be roping off two parking spots and placing two more tables.
All in all! Fantastic experience! Thank you Beatrice and your team for being so welcoming to your guests and making this a 5 star experience!!
We will be back to watch the rain with y’all under your beautiful awning!!
TIPS & TRICKS! ketchup and mustard are in the Frigidaire cooler on the side parking is on both sides...
Read moreI should have heeded the warning signs. “Under new management”, “We are short staffed, please be patient” “wait time 20 minutes”. We were pretty please to pull in and see it not busy on such a nice day. A couple food customers ahead of us and there was a warning of a 20 minute wait. After we had been waiting for 30 minutes they changed the wait to an hour. As a retired food service professional, I could look in the kitchen and see what they are doing wrong. The don’t have a shortage of staff, they just aren’t training who they have. One ticket filled at a time is never how it works yet that’s what they do. I watched 2 employees literally stare at tickets for an Eternity and not move. Then a father and son who arrived 40 minutes after we did, who knew the staff, walked to the side door with his number. Left his number behind and went to his truck. His food was delivered 5 minutes later. We still waited. It was slow. I saw 4 car loads of people walk to the window, find out it was an hour and left. So this new management is failing. At an hour and 3 minutes our 2 burgers, and onion rings appear. No fries. We ordered fries. I asked for my fries and a couple minutes later a pile of lukewarm fries showed up. The burgers were micro in size and the fried stuff was so so. $32 plus tip. An hour and 20 minutes. Oh the malts we received 6 minutes into our stay were very good. I can fix your speed of service. However I...
Read moreSimilar to another post I made not long ago about a Saratoga restaurant that I have always loved, Mr. Bills Carhop use to be awesome. Those days appear to be gone.
They absolutely nail the feel, music, style ect of an old carhop but my last few trips there last season and now my first of this season from a food a service perspective were not good.
When I arrived no one came to any of the 4 windows to help even though there were 3 ladies working in the back, no line of customers and took over 5 minutes. When I finally approached one of the windows to get attention, she rudely ushered me to another. The have no menu on the outside to read which makes no sense. There were two girls dressed in normal clothing, neither were overly friendly to say the least. The girl that was dressed like a 50’s waitress eventually gave me my food, she was very nice and helpful. Bright spot of the trip.
Ordered a small soft vanilla with sprinkles and 2 double cheeseburgers to go. Bill was just short of $24. Ice cream was good, didn’t open burgers until I got home……overcooked, greasy, 1 not full slice of cheese. Pretty much inedible. Not sure the ~$9 a burger I paid was a bad price but it was a bad product for sure. See below.
Place has a lovely atmosphere but if your service and food are not good, it doesn’t matter. Use to be a great place to stop. I won’t in the future after a few mediocre...
