Shake, Rattle & Roll recently opened at the corner of Routes 149 and 9L in Queensbury, serving up burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream with a nostalgic \u201850s and \u201860s flair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Rod Bacon<\/p>\n

A restaurant channeling the cruizin\u2019 culture of the \u201850s and \u201860s, and paying homage to a popular song originated by Big Joe Turner that was covered by Bill Haley & His Comets, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and even The Beatles, among others, opened last month in Queensbury.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Shake, Rattle & Roll, owned by Fort Ann concrete contractor Dale Baldwin, has been taking shape for the past five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked on it in the winter when concrete work was slow,\u201d said Baldwin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 3,024-square-foot building was erected by Peterson Builders Framing Contractors of Charlotte, N.C. Baldwin\u2019s son, Travis, did all the finish carpentry and his daughter, Amanda, performed the painting and staining tasks. Glens Falls-based E&T O\u2019Connor did the site work and DE Contracting of Lake George did the paving. Cerrone Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning of Queensbury installed the plumbing and heating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant, which will be open from April through November, serves hamburgers and \u201cHound Dog\u201d hot dogs, with sides of\u00a0 <\/span>french fries, mac-and-cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. Twelve flavors of ice cream that can be ordered in cones, sundaes, floats, or banana splits, are offered for dessert. The ice cream, which can also be ordered from a walk-up ice cream window, is from King Brothers Dairy in Schuylerville.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/b>The restaurant can seat approximately 66 people.<\/p>\n

The chef is Steve LaBarge, whose professional background includes stints at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City and the Holiday Inn in Lake George.<\/p>\n

Baldwin\u2019s daughter-in-law, Shannon Baldwin, is the manager.<\/p>\n

Patrons will be impressed by Baldwin\u2019s display of automobile-themed memorabilia, which he has been collecting for more than 30 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of what I have is over a hundred years old,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything is original.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baldwin notes he chose the name of the restaurant based on the popular song. He hopes to host events featuring antique and classic cars as the eatery gains popularity. In fact, he has been approached by a 200-member Model T club that plans to make his venue a stop during a rally next year that will start at Fort William Henry in Lake George and tour throughout the Adirondacks and Vermont.<\/p>\n

His personal collection includes two Model Ts and a Model A.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always liked old cars,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve had them since I was a kid.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that Shake, Rattle & Roll is up and rolling, Baldwin is moving on to his next project. Throughout the coming winter he will be working on a separate building that will house a Farm Market that will offer a selection of vegetables, fruit, pies, cider donuts, jellies, maple syrup, and honey, among other delectable foods. Plans call for Amanda to oversee that enterprise. Baldwin hopes to have it open in spring 2026.<\/p>\n

Even after the market is completed, Baldwin doesn\u2019t plan to rest on his laurels. The property at the corner of Routes 149 and 9 L encompasses 25 acres. Baldwin said he might build a strip mall at the rear of the property.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had several people express interest in renting a spot in one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Baldwin & Sons Concrete Contracting was started by Dale\u2019s father, Ken, in 1967. The business then passed to Dale, and his sons, Travis and Zack, now oversee day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

Ken had an entrepreneurial spirit like Dale\u2019s and started Hillbilly Fun Park in West Fort Ann in 1989. He operated it with his wife, Milly, until he sold it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Radio station WCKM hosted a grand opening celebration for the restaurant on August 23, which featured Morning Club personalities Pete Cloutier and Dan Miner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shake, Rattle & Roll\u2019s hours are 11:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m., seven days a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
