Reviews for The Babbling Brook Watering Hole & Eatery in Berne, NY

A beautiful location with a friendly staff. Worth a sidetrip particularly on a sunny day.

Absolutely amazing food. No matter what you get it comes out amazing. We love the bar tender Athena. If you tell her what you?re... in the mood to drink such as a whiskey or something sweet, she?ll whip you up a special made drink that always tastes fantastic.She?ll even smoke a drink for you! Fantastic place, can?t say enough good about it. Read more

The drive up there is also just gorgeous, we will return before the summer is over!! Read more

A bit of the beaten path but worth the detour. Nice restaurant with unique offerings. Indoor or outdoor seating. Service was a... bit slow but the food was delicious! Unfortunately they were out of a couple of things we wanted to try so will have to comeback. Hopefully by then the ice cream place next door will also be open. Read more

Fried chicken. Spicy hot honey. Vanilla bean ice cream. The Hot Honey Crispy Chicken Ice Cream Sandwich is an intriguing... combination. The Babbling Brook is about a 40mn drive southwest of Albany and if the name wasn't any indication, it's locatedright next to a brook. Their location is great for a spring, summer or warm fall day. There is available seating outdoors andalso a large grassy area near the brook where you can just relax and enjoy nature. We ordered bacon-wrapped pierogies, bonelesswings tossed in PB&J sauce (not pictured), garlic asiago fries, 2 chicken sandwiches, and a Philly cheesesteak wrap (also notpictured, sorry). The boneless wings were delicious. Deep-fried so they were crispy. And the meat wasn't dried out. The PB&Jsauce was awesome too. The bacon-wrapped pierogies were great. The bacon wasn't burnt to a crisp and paired well with thepierogies. The roasted garlic asiago fries were bomb.com! I opted for hot sauce drizzled on mine and I thought they wereawesome. The melted cheese tasted great and my own improvement would've been adding more of it. Let's talk about that chickensandwich though. It's a novelty sandwich. I haven't seen it done before and only recently learned about it through a localfoodies group. The sandwich tasted okay and I will be trying it again. I just felt as if the ice cream was too much and spicyhoney didn't bring the heat like I hoped it would. Next time I'll add bacon and request just 1 scoop of ice cream rather thanthe 3 it came with haha All in all, we will be returning. The service was quick and our food arrived to the table hot. Our mealdidn't break the bank and the drive provided an opportunity to relax and enjoy the trip. Read more

I have been wanting to try The Babbling Brook since they opened and tonight my sister and I finally went. To say I?m happy we... did is an understatement. We couldn?t decide what to get because everything on the menu sounded so good so we got a fewdifferent things to try. The food was out of this world delicious and our server Cassidy went above and beyond. She was sosweet, outgoing and on top of things. Phenomenal experience overall and cannot wait to go back and try more items! Read more

What a wonderful experience. The staff were so nice and on top of everything. The food was just scrumptious to say the least.... The atmosphere was bright and playful! The total experience was absolutely fantastic. Can?t wait to try everything on the menu. Read more
