5 /5 Tracey P. M.: The Silo in Queensbury has been around for as long as I can remember, and having lived in the Capital District all my life, I can’t believe it took me this long to finally go. It’s a great spot, but I’d recommend going early wait times can get long quickly. The menu is large, offering both breakfast and lunch, and it seems you can order either at any time of day.
We arrived at 7:15 a.m. and were immediately welcomed by the smell of warm cider donuts as we walked in. Our party of three was seated right away. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Portions are absolutely huge you’ll definitely be leaving with a take-home box.
I ordered the cider donut French toast, which also came with eggs, a choice of meat, home fries, and toast (as if I needed more carbs!). The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the bacon was crisp and flavorful. My husband had the classic French toast with eggs there was so much French toast, it could’ve fed two people. My daughter went with the special eggs benedict (benny) on a croissant, topped with poached eggs, apples, and cheese, and served with home fries and her choice of meat which she choose to pass since she’s a vegetarian.
Everything we tried was hearty, dependable, and just what you want from a breakfast place. Service was fast and attentive from start to finish. After eating, we explored the shop, which has several levels filled with adorable gifts and unique items.
Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience, and my only regret is waiting so long to finally give The Silo a try.
