White House Restaurant

Great family style restaurant, very friendly staff, food was great but the atmosphere was superb. We will definitely be back.

Service and food were wonderful a nice family run restaurant. Highly recommend. You will not leave hungry.

Great place for breakfast. The food was very fresh and staff was fantastic

Awesome food, I did not go away Hungry, impressed .

Have breakfast or lunch at The White House without the politicians. Great omelets with a high energy and friendly staff. Quiet and comfortable.

Homestyle Breakfast with warm cozy atmosphere and good affordable home made pancakes waffles eggs bacon and vegetarian choices too!

It's my go-to breakfast diner in Balston Spa -- friendly, quiet, good food, and a collection of historical paintings of the early spa-era buildings.

Always a pleasant time. Had company from N.C. had to bring them for the best breakfast around.

I always love going here. Been around since I was little....over 40 years I have been going to this homey home town diner

Had a really good breakfast. I enjoyed the home fries.

This is a self seat, you can go in and find an open table. It is nice inside. We had such a great experience here. The food is absolutely amazing, everything is made fresh. Our server was fantastic, so nice and she gave us a lot of history of the location. I would recommend checking this place out.

Perfect breakfast spot. Great menu with lots of options with amazing prices. Food was delicious. The omelette was big and had real big pieces of ham in it. The French toast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Lovely homey atmosphere perfect for two or a family. Lots of seating. Definitely recommend. Amazing food and great prices. Parking is around the corner across from the gas station by the laundromat for free. There’s also street parking for free as well.

Try the Eggs Reagan. It's like a BLT meets Eggs Benedict. Delicious! They've got a few other takes on eggs Benedict as well. Pancakes are good here. They use real maple syrup and you can tell. Place was busy when we went at 10:30 on a Sunday. Cozy atmosphere, friendly waitstaff. Our waitress, Jayna, was quick to come over and take our order. Very patient with my Mom as she struggled to remember what she wanted in her omelette, which was delicious by the way. I ate the other half 😎 Great home town diner.

Super cool theme, president-named dishes, and absolutely delicious!

Great place for a drink! Lisa the bartender was awesome. wish they served food.

Excellent breakfast place with quality food and selection and great service

This is my go to breakfast spot. Always have tables available, the food is good and the servers are always so pleasant

i have been having breakfast at the white house sat mornings for several years. service is friendly & efficient. food is very good & and i love the hometown ambiance of the bar & dining room. the window seat is my favorite !

Great place but I miss the waitress they had before. She had glasses and dark hair and wore cute bandanas on her head. Great food though!

Breakfast at the Whitehouse has become a new part of our Saturday routines that we really look forward to! Karen is the sweetest and always on top of everything. The food is consistently good, comes out fast and always prepared correctly! The coffee is some of the best I've ever had. It is spacious inside and all the staff are always helpful and accommodating. There is a convenient street parking and a lot out back. Definitely recommend the Whitehouse for breakfast any day of the week!

Beautiful historical setting, paintings, tin ceiling, lovely atmosphere and very clean. Nice servers and all the breakfasts were delicious, hot, homemade bread, excellent coffee and great prices! Did not feel rushed and had plenty of time for a coffee refill & some chat time! Don't miss out... you'll be a return patron for sure!

This restaurant located right in the heart of downtown Ballston Spa, minutes drive from Saratoga Springs, is a delicious, no frills restaurant, serving up breakfast classics. I was in town for the Belmont this weekend and decided to check this place out for breakfast on a Sunday (it had been highly recommended to me). The food was outstanding, the restaurant was very clean, and the service was friendly and attentive all while being filled with locals. The waitress filled my water many times without being asked and made sure everyone at the table always had a full cup of coffee. I ordered scrambled eggs, homefries, and blueberry pancakes- everything was hot and delicious. I especially enjoyed the homefries which were crispy from the grill and came with caramelized onions mixed in. The Italian Toast which the chef bakes daily was outstanding- a MUST TRY. The prices were reasonable and the portions were very filling. Despite the busy breakfast rush, the owners (Karen and David) and the rest of their team were inviting and friendly. Since every local knows about this place being the best in town, if you are in the area, stopping by is a must. Thank you for a delicious meal, I will absolutely be back.

Great little hole in the wall. We come here everytime we come to visit family. Staff is friendly, environment is quiet and the food is always consistent. Highly recommend their homemade bread! ♥️♥️

Excellent breakfast! I occasionally come for lunch and a beer. The bartender is a nice guy, and the food is good diner type sandwiches, burgers... They do have a daily lunch special.

Breakfast was great, however I was sweating while eating, as they did not have the ac on. Nice, hometown restaurant.

The atmosphere is old. Everything is clean but don't expect anything updated. You come here for the reasonable prices, large portions and delicious food.

Nice small town restaurant. Good service, prices and food. Great place for a Saturday breakfast.

Food was great... service was slow.. this was our first visit. Maybe next time will be quicker?

Great place for breakfast and lunch. I had a burger and fries. I go whenever I am in town.

Service was warm and attentive. Meal arrived quickly and was well prepared. Prices are quite reasonable. Restrooms need some work....outdated and could have been done cleaner.

The Whitehouse is a great breakfast spot. Their breakfast sausage is amazing! The building itself is old and could use some clean up. The location is great too! Right downtown Ballston Spa. So after your breakfast, walk around downtown and check out some of the local treasures.

I had the French toast with a side of beacon, a cup of coffee and a glass of of OJ. The toast was good but their Maple syrup for which I paid extra for, was a bit watery. Mine and my wife's only complaint was the state of the bathrooms, both male and female. They are in need of major repairs.

Enjoyed the turkey sandwich. But 12 bucks for a very small serving. Tiny cole slaw side. Great service. Wonderful staff. 12 noon on a Wednesday and no one there. Way too many better choices in that town. Where's the music I asked also?

Surprisingly, it's difficult to find an open restaurant in B'Spa fairly early on a Sunday morning (The Iron Roost was closed for a week, not sure why the Whistling Kettle was closed). We ended up at the Whitehouse. Outside it didn't look like a great option. But we were pleasantly surprised by the inside. Very clean, larger than we thought, and comfortable seating. We ordered--hubby got scrambled eggs, toast and home fries. I opted for corn beef has and home fried. When my plate was set down in front of me, I almost pushed it aside. It didn't look inviting at all. But I decided to give it a go. The potatoes were mushy, watery, and basically flavorless. The hash had absolutely no texture, save the diced potatoes in it. The meat was the consistency of wet mud. This also was flavorless. Not wanting to waste it all, I took great liberty with, and was very thankful for, the ketchup, salt and pepper on the table! Hubby's eggs were bland but the toast was good. The cook needs to take a trip to flavortown and get some spices, and maybe some onions. I don't recommend. Sorry.

Local dive, pretty much a Sh!t hole. My only suggestion for the bartender is if someone is paying with a twenty dollar bill for example never give back a ten and fifty cents; guess what you're getting for a tip and it's not the ten dollars. Singles will always get you more money in your pocket.

Waited over hour for food. Order came out wrong, cold m completely forgot a meal. Worse service ever. Still charged us. Cook was totally unprofessional. Waitresses had no idea what to do.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!! We waited 1 hr and 20 mins and still did not get our food! We walked out! It’s one thing if someone had come out and said I’m sorry your food will be out as soon as we can get it out! NOPE NOT EVEN THAT! Several other people also walked out! Too bad!

The food is good, and the staff is nice but there is no observance of social distance spacing in here. Quite a disappointing encounter.

Ordered a simple over easy breakfast sandwich and they couldnt pull it off. Not just a one time thing. Maybe 5 times they screwed up the egg making it fried instead of a runny egg. I’m done with them. I’m a local and I give up. I rather drive to Wilton to a deli which they Can make what I order. Also the kids working here dont look legal to work. They look underage.
