An absolutely charming little place. Very cozy. There is a feeling to Ravenous, like its from a different time and a different place. They have a surprisingly good beer list. Its not super long but they have some good micro brews on hand. The fries are double cooked so theyre extra crispy, aka extra yummy. When it comes to food, Im generally cringe when something is described as "savory". Calling something savory means youve taken something thats usually delicious and made it gross. I was nervous about the savory crepes, but lo and behold, Ravenous delivered. My Sweet Sonias crepe with chicken sausage and apple slices was absolutely on point. I could very easily taste that it was made with love and I loved tasting it! This might be my new favorite place in Saratoga for a light afternoon fare before a walk in the park. I would stay away from the mini dessert crepes though as my strawberry one was very disappointing. The size, which is absolutely tiny, is fine for the price but it was definitely missing a proper crepe sweetness to it. Ill definitely be returning to try a full sized dessert one soon!

So we came up to Saratoga to get water at the spring. It was slightly packed with lined people waiting to fill up, so we decided to venture down town for a bite. I opened Google , searched brunch, and picks Ravenous after a quick read on crepes (hubbys way to his heart AND his bday weekend) I told him lets go here. First impression, full place! She told us 20 min and would text us. TOTALLY WORTH the lil 20 min stroll checking out the honey and tea shop (so cool). We ordered a creme Bordeaux and green mountain, iced Morocco green tea and hot apple cider. The drinks were delicious and satisfying! The food was fantastic! The crepes are little breading and packed fully of yummies! They are just satisfying, not too heavy on your tummy, but just enough to leave a satisfying tummy. :) I was very pleased and impressed! 2 cooks who looked like they had a great flow/system to their work and hostesses were smiling and busy :) I will def want to return on Saratoga visits!! Keep up the great work, cause you guys have a great taste of food!

I love crepes, I get them every chance I get in Toronto. So I was excited to see this place near me. I tried it, wonderful! The staff is friendly and the food is high quality and delicious. The owner has spoken to me each time I visited and was so nice and I told her of ingredient combos Id had other places and she genuinely took an interest in what I had to say. Look, if you want a ton of food for little money thrown at you quickly, go to McDonalds. Places like this are for people who want to enjoy the experience of well made food, and can enjoy the ambiance and a beverage while their edible art is prepared.

Ive had crepes in France, Britain, Montreal and downtown Ballston Spa, and the tough, dry rubbery concoctions served at Ravenous arent even passable as edible. Our party ordered $60 of food that I wish I could get back. We thought the desert crepes would redeem the rest of the meal- the same rubbery Dunkin Donuts-like wrap complete with CANNED peaches. Ordered the Poutine and I can count the cheese curds on one hand and the gravy had to have been a McCormicks pouch sauce. Local delis do that dish better too. I could go on, but you get the gist. It was our first time eating there and the last time. Too bad.

This place is wonderful. The staff is friendly and very considerate. There is much to choose from on the menu. They are small place so be sure to go slower timesto have the best chance of a seat. The iced Mongolian green tea was wonderful. They do mimosa on Sunday morning. We had a group of 8 dine for brunch. There were 4 different crepes, and 6 different breakfasts ordered. Our entire group loved everything. We sharing drinks and food across the table!.

I liked that you could customize your own crepes and they have mini sweet crepes! That way you can get a savory crepe and have a small sweet crepe. The whipped cream was fresh and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Fresh is always so much better than pre-made or artificially made. The waitress was very kind to us and gave us options for seating. The little things count too when you dine out! I would visit here again.

I love the crepes here! It is rare to find a good crepe eatery and this is an excellent one. Visited Saratoga Springs for 3 days and ate at Ravenous every day because the food is superb. Everything on the menu is delicious and the Moroccan mint iced tea was perfect. If they were near me I would be poor, fat and happy! (...because I would spend all my money eating the rich foods found within.)

The physical space might be a tad small, but Ravenous delivers phenomenal food. Their crepes range from classic to the deliciously non-traditional, and each comes with a basic side salad. The real gem is their fries, which might be some of the best fries outside of Belgium. All in all, tremendous value, great food, and always a relaxed and helpful service.

Nothing, absolutely nothing can beat the friets! Make sure you try the garlic dipping sauce, and all the others. Every ravenous crepes is delicious. I have a favorite which is Godfathers Garden, I just love the portabello schrooms! You will not be disappointed. Ever.

This was a great find on a recent business trip. All 3 of us enjoyed our meals which included dessert. The server made helpful recommendations and was gracious. The food arrived quickly and was excellent. We would definitely go again if in the area.

An absolutely delightful place with amazing food. My favorite crepe is the St.Tropez with added feta and garlic aioli. My husband and I really enjoy the poutine as well, I usually ask for extra gravy because its just so good.

Great crepes, and their frites (fries) are amazing. Lots of different dipping sauces available. They also have mini crepes for dessert if you are too full for a full size crepe but want something sweet to end your meal

Food was not to bad.. but very expensive. Not worth the money. We went there with 4 people to have breakfast and and all we got was 4 crepes and a few coffees. The bill was almost $70! For Breakfast! Never again.

Amazing crêpes!! Great café with a warm atmosphere and incredible staff. Food came out fast and was delicious. Family owned and they show it, best spot to get a quick coffee and crêpe or relax for a while.

The waitress was very polite and friendly. It was my first time eating poutine, which was delicious. The fries and dipping sauces were great, as well as our crepes. It was a pleasant experience.

Horrible experience! Pushed to the side when ordered to go and the food was not worth the price. $8 for two very small disgustingly sweet crepes! Perhaps sit down dining is better.

Well, dears. If you go to Ravenous, you should hope you are NOT indeed ravenous. Very small portions and quite costly. Food was mediocre at that. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Really nice place for crepes! Very friendly staff. Owner is from Montreal and is very knowledgeable and friendly. Small place so there might be a wait. Take a reservation.
