Stephentown, NY
Our Story
Same family, same fields, since 1969.
Gardner's isn't just a stop on Route 22. It's Stephentown's front porch.
Since 1969, families, farmers, travelers, and neighbors have pulled in for good food, good company, and a front-row view of the hay fields that raise our cattle.
430 acres
A family legacy
For more than 50 years the Gardner family has looked after this land. What started as a simple stand has grown into the place the whole town meets.
Every burger we serve connects back to these fields, and every cone gets eaten with the Taconic hills in the background.
“The land matters, the people matter, and the community matters.”
What's included with every meal
Free sarcasm
We take the food seriously and ourselves not so much. Come for the burgers and stay for the banter. There's no extra charge.
A seat in the Peanut Gallery
Tables, stools at the counter, and a wall of mounts keeping an eye on things. Pull up a seat. The regulars don't bite.

Pull off Route 22, grab a stool at the counter, and tell us where you're headed.
