hattie's restaurant

awesome, if you want better southern style food, you'll have to go to the south! highly recommend thefriedchicken. also they have a cool mardi gras themes bar in the back.

while i was impressed with thefriedchicken, i must say the collard greens & candied yams stole the show!

best southern food. hands down the best southern food in upstate ny!
certainly the best ive ever had.
hatties has cornered the market on deliciousfriedchicken.

a saratoga institution. i had the shrimp gumbo. i’ve never been to new orleans but this was delicious. the spices danced on my tongue. hush puppies,friedokra, blackened catfish and mashed potatoes were also all delicious. my kids hadfriedchicken which i tasted and i must say it’s the best i’ve had in the capital district. no contest.

terrificfriedchicken & fixin's plus one of the best bloody mary's i've had in years (heavy on the horseradish!)  intimate for sure, but still fun.  prefer going in the fall and winter when the track crowds and tourists head south.  august - forget about it.

worst jerk chicken i have ever experienced.friedchicken was fine but pricey. patio is freezing cold. bring long johns

you have to be kidding!. we gotfriedchicken, collard greens, and beans with rice. what a waste of $40. chicken was dried up yuck with a heavyfriedcoating. collard greens were sickeningly sweet. rice was dry and beans had a flavor that absolutely did not belong. she would not eat any of it (especially with the dried blood and veins visible in the chicken). i ate some of the chicken because i was starved. the rest was trashed. this restaraunt is an insult to saratoga and the original hatties establishment. we got this meal to go otherwise i would have demanded a refund.

delicious!!!. theirfriedchicken is a must!

hattie’s restaurant review. who knew that you could find a delicious southern restaurant on the back streets of saratoga springs, ny? complete with a casual, laid back, and friendly atmosphere that is hattie’s restaurantsynonymous with the south, is just that. originally opened as hattie’s chicken shack in 1938, it has been known as the place to go for amazing food, great drinks, and spectacular service. after hearing plenty of people talking about this restaurant, my family and i decided to try it out one weekend.



the menu is full of some of the most delectable southern meals you can find in one place. in fact, it was almost impossible to choose what to try. after starting with the mouth watering hush puppies and the delicious good ‘n evil chicken wings that had the perfect amount of crispness, i was almost too full for my main entrée.



i had opted for thefriedchicken after learning that it had beat out bobby flay’s several years ago and i was not disappointed. having grown up in the south, i thought i knew goodfriedchicken. however, i was not prepared for how delicious it would be. crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and not greasy at all, it was definitely the best i have ever tasted. i paired it with creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned collard greens. as a result of the huge portions, i took more than half of it home and was surprised to find out that it is just as good the next day.



my girlfriend opted for the spicy jambalaya, a dish that she always enjoys when we visit louisiana. she found the mix of sausage, shrimp, and chicken to be “out of this world.” my nephew chose the slow cooked bbq spare ribs, which i happened to steal a bite of. tender, moist, and covered in a barbeque sauce that was the perfect mix of salty and sweet, they peeled right off the bone and could be cut with a fork. accompanied by outstanding, light as a feather biscuits, buttery and sweet corn on the cob, and delicious cranberry coleslaw, it was a meal he swears he will never forget.



while hattie’s has an impressive selection of premium and domestic beers, as well as

too hyped up but still nice. okay, ever go to a movie that everyone loves so your expectations are way too high? that was how we felt after eating here back in july. nice atmosphere, food was good but not over the top. the bartender was very good - mojo or something like that can't remember the name. the chicken is as good as if made at home by a relative that thinksfriedis a category on the food pyramid. so, i guess people rave about the chicken because it taste's like grandma's chicken.

amazingly largefriedchicken. great wings. dinner comes w cornbread and biscuit

hattie’s restaurant is a saratoga institution, and has not only the bestfriedchicken in the northeast, but a kickin’ back patio bar. do not miss this place when you visit saratoga! the chef at hattie’s, jasper alexander, has done his time at culinary school and chi-chi nyc eateries like gramercy tavern and aureole, and is now living the good life upstate, churning out not only award-winningfriedchicken, but old fashioned hush puppies, mac and cheese, chicken and dumplings, gumbo and ribs, all with a gourmet twist.

louisiana north. great food if you are in the cajun mood. as many here already pointed out - theirfriedchicken with sweet fries are fantastic. also try hatties chicken shack off exit 15 - right near price chopper. limited menu, same quality, nice setting and reasonably priced. why do people go to kfc?

best southernfriedchicken ever. go to hatties. you will not regret it. never mind the cramped space and run down house. best southern food ever. the back patio bar is a great place on a hot muggy toga night down in the "gut"!!!friedchicken is old lady hattie's handed down ancient recipe. truly the best you will ever taste.
