The 469 residents of the bustling metropolis of Fort Ann, New York are very lucky to have this hidden gem offering tasty Colonial-era inspired cuisine and locally-produced beers. On… read more a recent roadtrip from Northern New Jersey to Vermont, the Wizard of Waze brought me and my dining companion to the doorstep of this fabulous dining establishment just in time for lunch (and, let’s be honest, there aren’t a lot of other options in the area).
On our recent visit, I opted for the fried chicken sandwich, a freshly battered and fried chicken thigh served on a tasty potato bread hamburger roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, and aioli and a side of fresh french fries. Wow! One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I have EVER tasted. Crunchy on the outside; juicy and tender on the inside. YUM. My dining companion selected the grilled chicken sandwich served in a similar manner and was much less enthusiastic about her choice.
I still had a few hours of driving ahead of me so I couldn’t partake in the locally-brewed beers, but they had a range of options from IPA to Stout on-tap that will appeal to most beer drinkers. Service was good, without being overwhelming.
I don’t expect to be back in Fort Ann any time soon, but will definitely return to Battle Hill if I am.

  Good burger Great people! Don’t hesitate to try this restaurant. It’s where the locals go to eat

  Really easygoing vibe, nice choice of beer. Waitress was super nice and roastbeef sandwich was perfect!

  First time going here today. Didn’t expect to be blown away, but I was. The sample board of beers were very good. The War Whoop is an excellent 2x IPA.… read more The food is taken seriously and you tell. They make many items from scratch like their steak sauce and buns. I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was perfect. The Dillion rolls are incredible. If you are a pickle fan these will be blow your mind. Staff was very friendly. I look forward to stoping again the next time in town.

  Stopped in on our way from VT to Albany, NY for a bite. Short story is: Deadly Fries! Fresh cut, crisp and hot. Maybe a new standard for me. Fried… read more chickysan was great too. Good local place with open seating and friendly staff.

Now for the brews, and I’m a brewer. I did a 6 pour flight: Munich, NEIPA, Pumpkin, Amber, Harmony, and Porter. All were solid hitters, not a dog in the lineup, and each was true to the style they claim. The Pumpkin was only out of curiosity and it was quite good

My wife read some reviews that were critical of the beer and I said, guess I wont be getting beer. But after reading descriptions it was clear to me they know their craft so I did the flight and was very pleased. Top picks are the Porter, and the NEIPA, both were excellent. Those who pronounce criticism of the beer here are clearly out of their depth.

  1st time here, food was very good.
The sausage egg rolls were superb, I had the mac n cheese, very good.
Wife had the patriot burger, she enjoyed it.
Great… read more service, nice dining room and bar.
We are not fans of these brewed beers, i could only get about a half glass down, horrible after taste.
We would go back to eat, but would just drink soda.
We recommend.

  Come for the food. Loved the appetizer we got. The beers we tried were just average – 3 stars.

  FANTASTIC! I got a Swiss and mushroom burger with crispy onions and it was outstanding. But the FRIES. Fluffy and crispy just simply amazing the service was awesome and super… read more friendly! Felt good being there can’t wait to come back!

  Good food and attentive server. Tried the cocoa porter and it was tasty along with the brats with sauerkraut and vegetables.
