SARATOGA SPRINGS — To paraphrase the 1942 film “Casablanca,” of all the breakfast joints in all the towns in all New York State, they picked ours.
Compton’s Restaurant, a popular spot on Broadway that serves classic American breakfast and diner fare, was recently named New York’s top “hole in the wall” by The Daily Meal, a food and drink website founded by the former CEO of Forbes.com.
“Locals and travelers alike all know about Compton’s, especially those who love the track or traveling to the area for a SPAC concert,” The Daily Meal’s Jenn Carnevale wrote. “This unassuming spot on the main drag pulls people from all over for a solid breakfast every day. Award-winning and no fuss, this is your next favorite breakfast spot.”
Compton’s, which first opened in 1984, is perhaps best known for its speedy food delivery and hearty pancakes.
