Something so basic, a chicken salad, turned into an exceptional dish. I didn't want it to end! Absolute superb flavor.Beautiful, comfortable interior with very friendly staff. Thrilled to have this country store back up and running with these wonderful owners. You've added so much more to our community, thank you!

Every dish was delicious, this was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. In addition to the amazing food, the ambience and staff were wonderful. The muscle escabeche toast and the “famous martini” were menu highlights.

Had a wonderful dinner to celebrate an anniversary. Between the friendly waitstaff, and the curated menu, we enjoyed our dinner immensely. Will definitely return.

All scratch kitchen with familiar and unique flavors. Gourmand pantry product selection for your home, great frozen meals made in house at a good price. Try the Gluten-Free Maple Crème cookies from the pastry case, you will not be disappointed they are sooo good! I am unsure what the cookie base is but it appears to include chia and flax seed so you can feel a little less guilty about the dessert ;)

I had made reservations for my wife and I for our anniversary, I'm very glad I did. The establishment is a charming place, so too was the staff. We were greeted by the owner, and the fare was quite good! We will return. 👍👍

Great little spot! The staff is so kind and service is excellent. We had the breakfast biscuit and the egg & cheese roll, both were delicious! The coffee special was also great, fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be revisiting and highly recommend stopping in :)

Enjoyable lunch stop while motorcycle touring. My sandwich had the most ham I've ever scene on a sandwich... and it was delicious. Thumbs up.

This is a great place for breakfast. The service and staff here is very friendly. It has a country store in the front and a sit down restaurant place in the back where you can grab a nice meal. Their hit chocolates and coffees are superb and their hot apple cider is great in the winter. For breakfast I would recommend getting the breakfast burrito and for lunch I would recommend getting the Columbia county roast beef sandwich.

Nice little spot for breakfast lunch or dinner, but felt somewhat over priced. The veggie burger was just a bland frozen patty on a cheap hamburger buns for $10. $7 would have been appropriate. The burrito was just ok, good portion but also felt over priced at $15. I think I'd have to try some more of the menu to be fair on food review. They didn't have tap water... They said the well went dry... I'm wondering what they wash the dishes with?

I this has been my favorite breakfast and lunch restaurant since the moment it opened. I flew in from Los Angeles after being gone for four years and that place hasn't missed a beat! Brian and his staff are just great. The food is farm fresh, perfectly prepared and beautifully plated. Quaint, cozy country charm with quality that you'd expect from a big city.

I have been to OC for breakfast quite often lately while waiting for a kitchen rebuild in my home. I have to say the breakfasts are outstanding and good value for money given the quality of the food. The ingredients are superb, freshly laid and farm eggs, superb cider cooked bacon, wonderful home fries . In my experience the hardest meal to buy is a good quality breakfast

Food is always great here and I mean always. Brian, the owner, is always attentive and helpful. Their bacon must be sourced from the premier supplier. I'm a bacon lover that has tried variations all over the country but I've yet to have any better than That found at Old Chatham's Country Store.

Whether eating breakfast or lunch or dining at dinner, I have never had a bad meal here. On the contrary, the food is a cut above other area restaurants, from Albany to Hudson. If you're nearby, give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Great place for a quick but pleasant lunch. I had a turkey sandwich. It was simple and delicious as all turkey sandwiches should be.

The owner, when we asked for help finding a taxi service for one of our party needing to go to Albany train station, arranged for a longtime friend of his, who was dining at the cafe, to give her a ride. Above and beyond!
