During our visit, there was only one server on the floor. While I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that someone may have called out, service was still very disorganized. Our food order was incorrect three separate times, and two items that were ordered never arrived at all. Water refills were never offered or provided without repeatedly asking.
The most attentive person in the restaurant was actually the cook, who was not actively cooking at the time. Instead, a server appeared to be handling cooking duties while the cook was assisting guests, which added to the overall confusion. The cook was polite and attentive and seemed to notice that we were repeatedly trying to get the server’s attention without success.
I did feel that we were not a priority as guests. While this is my personal perception and not a statement of fact, it stood out to me that we were the only Hispanic patrons in the restaurant, and the level of attention we received felt noticeably lacking compared to others.
As for the food itself, the taste was good. The home fries were especially well seasoned and flavorful, and overall the food quality was decent.
Final thoughts: The food is flavorful but the service was poor and required a long wait. Based on my experience, guests should be prepared for delays. While my feelings about being deprioritized are personal, the service issues and order mistakes were objective and consistent throughout the visit.

Homerun Cafe is a must-visit here in Lake Placid. I have been eating here for 3 years, and I have never had a bad meal or a bad server. It's been consistently good. The food options have also been consistently expanded in flavor and creativity. The pulled pork sandwich is fantastic with the homemade dill dressing. My all-time favorite is the Cesar salad with a grilled chicken breast on it ❤️

We were ordering a take out order for 5 people. The waitress was friendly and patient as we reviewed our options and then ordered. She made some excellent suggestions. The cook prepared and cooked our food in front of us. He was like an artist! He told me that he has been doing this work for 20 years. We all enjoyed the food which was cooked perfectly! We would highly recommend the Home Run Cafe!
