Restaurants in Alexandria Bay

“While visiting beautiful Alexandria Bay, we stumbled upon Dark Island Spirits. Let me tell you, we were so glad that we did. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by friendly faces and knowledgeable staff who guided us on our tasting journey. We tried a few flights, and to be honest, we enjoyed every single tasting sample. We ended up leaving with a few bottles of the Eleanor Glen 1000 Islays - Peated American Single Malt Whiskey as well as a few bottles of the Mountain Strong - Corn whiskey aged in one of our used bourbon barrels. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by and trying some amazing and unique spirits. UPDATE: 8/28/24 Stopped back in and got to meet Kelly and William. Both had an infectious energy and made our visit totally amazing. Can not recommend Dark Island enough. Try a flight or grab a drink and chill on the patio. Can't wait for our next visit.”

“🍦 5 Stars – Amazing Ice Cream & Even Better Service! Gal’s Place Ice Cream is the perfect spot for a sweet treat, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible service from Emmy Claire and Josie. Every time we visit, they go above and beyond—friendly, fast, and always with a smile. They make the experience so enjoyable and memorable. Honestly, they’re the kind of employees any business would be lucky to have… and they definitely deserve a raise for all they do! Thank you, Emmy Claire and Josie—you make Gal’s Place the best around!”

“Great camping, big sites,friendly staff, atmosphere is so fun, beautiful view & pool areas with tiki bar is wonderful!! Highly recommend going there,can’t wait for our next vacation there!!”

“Absolutely an amazing restaurant with the most delicious meals ever !! Such amazing and friendly atmosphere and the owners are the most sweetest and caring people I’ve ever met !!”

“Amazing people and amazing wine. We did our tasting with Lisa and she is the nicest and so easy to talk to. My husband and I stopped in during our trip back to visit family before moving across country and I’d had their wine before so I knew it was good but visiting the winery made it even better knowing what a great, welcoming, and warm staff they have. Telling everyone I know about them.”

“Subs are always great when we go there! The staff is nice, and I highly recommend it!!”

“We’re visiting in the offseason and after striking out at some of the restaurants in town, we came here more by default than anything, as we’re staying at the hotel. So I went in with pretty low expectations, which thankfully were well surpassed. Angie was the only server working the whole restaurant and she did so without breaking a sweat - a true pro. And our food was very good - my blackened mahi mahi was cooked perfectly. The prices were reasonable and the location couldn’t be beat as we were staying two floors above. A solid 5 star experience.”

“Quality food and excellent service staff. The staff were knowledgable about the menu as well as friendly and engaging. Food was cooked exactly as requested.”

“Clean, good food, quick & amazing service :) Close to Alexandria Bay & connected to an arcade via window so if you have excitable children be aware!

Special shout-out to the redhead in glasses & girl in a slickback there today who were super kind to my non-english speaking parents who were being a bit difficult! Props to their patience for sure 😭💕”

“This little pub has been owned by the same family for 74 years . The owner is a musician and runs the bar like a music venue first . A music venue that happens to have 2 exceptional bars . Inside pub and an outside Tiki bar . Both bars have a stage and present outstanding live bands . NOTE * WE DID NOT OPEN THIS SUMMER (2020) It just wasn’t right . Wasn’t safe due to COVID-19 So we wait. I am painting and redecorating ,improving sound and lights and improving all the little thing that add up to an exciting reopening when the pandemic ends . I miss playing in the band with my friends in the Dog Bros.Band ! I miss our patrons . This little pub is like the family farm , so it will reopen when the laws allow .”

“This is an excellent place to sit and relax. Theres a small menu you can order food from and they will bring it out to you. The staff was phenominal. Drinks were amazing and Big Daddy is hands down the best bartender, and a local legend.”

“such a great place. the owner and bartenders are so much fun!! Jen and B. can't wait to come back next year!!!”

“Theeeee best poutine! OMG, it’s sooooo delicious! 😋 The waitresses/bartenders are super friendly and efficient! I highly recommend this restaurant when you’re in the Alexandria Bay area!”

“Um first off the “cheese sauce” is the best queso I’ve had in the north…but the salsa should be bottled and handed out as an antidepressant..it would save lives it’s that darn good. Guac is top tier and the vibes are electric. Congratulations to the ownership and staff for creating a special place in A-Bay.”

“Went here for breakfast and everything was fresh and delicious!! love the iced coffee and FRESH HOMEMADE muffins!! Would definitely recommend for a breakfast coffee spot! 5 stars!”

“Nice place, accommodating of families. That had indoor seating with window A/C. The food was good and at the price point I would expect in a tourist town during the summer. I found the service to be good. I recommend them and would definitely go back.”

“Best calm chowder i ever had. A lot of place dont have enough class in the soup. No worries here. Waiter was charming and food was delicious. I thought it would expensive but found it reasonably priced for the quailty and quantity of the food. Definitely recommend.”

“Warm, friendly atmosphere with welcoming people made the visit special, and the Toasted Caramel Apple Butter Latte was cozy, and absolutely delicious today!”

“After trying several places for pizza, Josie's is by far the best pizza we found.
Other pizza's we had in the area, including in Clayton were of frozen pizza quality at best.”

“I had a mixed experience at Windows on the Bay. The biggest highlight is definitely the view, it's absolutely stunning. .
We had a bit of a delay when they couldn't find our dinner reservation on their list but the staff ended up handling it well and found us a great outdoor table. The service throughout the evening was friendly and pleasant, although it was very slow. Since it was a busy holiday, we understood and were happy to be patient.

Unfortunately, dinner itself was just okay. My meal was average, the fish was a bit overcooked and dry. The biggest disappointment was the music. There was a DJ when we arrived but they ended the music much earlier than expected, and once it stopped, the energy completely disappeared. It felt like the evening lost its momentum. However sitting outside overlooking the bay as the fireworks began over Boldt Castle on the Fourth of July ended up making for a perfect evening.

Breakfast the next morning was a completely different experience. It was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing, with beautiful views of the boats passing by on the bay. The food and atmosphere were much more enjoyable and made for a wonderful start to the day.”

“The Food is Amazing! The price is fair (better than average for Alex-Bay), the service is great, and the atmosphere is perfect! This is the best place to eat in A-Bay!”
