“Our party of six stopped in last night on our way back to Tupper Lake from Lake Placid. Our kids and their friends were especially hungry from a day on top of the mountain and they thoroughly enjoyed their pizzas and tacos. My wife and I enjoyed our Mojitos and Cure NEIPAs. Our fried chicken sandwich was perfectly flavored and the chips and queso were an amazing start. As co-owners of our own brewery, we were especially pleased with the level of service at each encounter (hostess, bartender, waiter, server, even the person who sold me my shirt). I also architect nerded out over the design of the place and the perfect use of the site. Being from NJ, I was pleasantly surprised at the somewhat urban scale /vibe to a place I never suspected to have one . We will definitely make this our stop every time we pass through. Five stars!”

“I used Jamdots Baking Co. for the first time in June to make a bridal shower cake. The cake was wonderful—it was exactly like I’d ordered and delivered right on time to the venue in Lake Placid. It was delicious!”

“Our favorite place to "fine dine" as a family in Saranac Lake. They incorporate local food into their menu year-round supporting local farmers, growers, and entrepreneurs.”

“Beautiful atmosphere! Each time we’ve visited, this bar is quiet and cozy— certainly a hidden gem. Great place to sip a cocktail and play a board game or read a book. Highly recommend!”

“If ever in the Saranac Lake area, Sunset Bistro is a phenomenal dining experience not to be missed! Exquisite food, generous pour and service is exceptional!”

“Wonderful employee's and food!”

“Wow. This place was incredible and well worth the 15 minute drive from Lake Placid. The staff all made us feel like royalty and the food was perhaps the best meal I have had in years.”

“When we walked in looked like your average pub with a slightly dated look. We had a Burger and Wings. Wings were crisp but not dried out (perfect cook). Burger was phenomenal and you could taste the freshness of the Beef, Bun and other ingredients. Highly recommend.”

“This restaurant was such an incredible and unexpected find on the way home from the Bloomingdale Bog! I have traveled widely and the best food I have ever had was in Venice Italy: I kid you not, the food and service here brought me back to Venice and Florence. I had the shrimp special: shrimp cooked with sautéed vegetables: onions, sliced garlic, roasted red peppers, large wands of broccoli, all cooked to perfection. The veggies still had flavor and bite, the large shrimp were perfectly cooked, and all tossed over pasta with delicately flavored sauce and olive oil, which never overpowered the flavor of the main ingredients. My partner had the Chicken special which was perfectly tender chicken breast bathed in a cognac marinara sauce, with mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers and a side of delicate pasta. For dessert we enjoyed the Tira mi su, my favorite, which I make from scratch myself. The pastry and pastry cream were heavenly, finished with a thin layer of chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. Stupendous. The lemon cake was also obviously made in house, with cake that was not too sweet, richly textured with a nice thick layer of lemon cream between the two layers. This dinner was a glorious North Country surprise, one that transformed this series of cold, gray days. The service was also absolutely exceptional, professional, friendly, graceful, relaxed and timely. We can't wait to return, and I would highly recommend you treat yourselves...especially now when it's slower! Light up a cold winter evening. THANK YOU!”

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.”

“The ribs were excellent the Mac n cheese was amazing and the rings and fries were cooked to perfection! Lisa did a fantastic job as our server. We’ll be back! Thanks!”

“No. 1 Chinese Restaurant is our favorite local takeout place when we are to busy to cook. The choices are many, but we have our favorites. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. The owner is energetic and super friendly. Give it a try and then you'll know why we keep coming back. Enjoy 😉”

“Great place to work and hang out.”

“Best buffet experience I have ever had, helpful and interactive employees with fantastic attitudes and smiles. It was wonderful to see the employees enjoying their day. I could not have asked for better service, atmosphere, or food! This was exac What I needed today.”

“Great little sub shop in the town of saranac definitely get their pickles and their garlic dill bread on whatever sandwich you get it's absolutely delicious if you love pasta salad there's is extremely delicious they even ask you if you want to add other toppings on it as well because it's a very simple salad granted it's so delicious and so flavorful I don't think you need to add anything to it other than maybe some onions.”

“We desperately ran in seeking nourishment after a long day at camp and were greeted by super friendly staff who offered some delicious slices to go! Our pizza was warmed up to perfection and ready in just minutes! ❤️”

“Don't know why people told me thi place was bad, literally the lady is nice, just having a thick accent. Anyways, ordered the chicken broccoli and the combos, and were very good. Sauce was just like downstate.”

“I had an extremely poor experience at this place. 1. We were given old menus with outdated descriptions and pricing. 2. My pulled pork was filled with bone and cartilage (see picture for the inedible portions I pulled out of the food). It was nearly every bite. 3. For some reason there seemingly is a half-eaten / broken watermelon slice on each dish. 4. I advised the waitstaff and their resolution was to provide me another plate. Why would I want more bad BBQ? 5. Restrooms were poorly attended and lacked essential items. This left my friend stranded in an unfortunate situation...which I found hilarious. The people in the parking lot saw recognized my frustration and indicated their dinners were horrible as well. For two of us, the bill was $57.00. A better use of that amount would be two travel down the road about half a mile and buy some cokes and beef jerky from the local tractor supply store.”

“Absolutely amazing, staff are so great with actual authentic mexican recipes made when ordered. The margaritas are amazing. Can't speak highly enough. Amazing!”

“Food quality and customer service has improved greatly! Ren went above and beyond to ensure my order was accurate. While I didn't keep my receipt I hope they get the praise they deserve!”

“We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with the Ahi poke bowl & shrimp pizza paired with refreshing cocktails for my husband’s birthday today. The lovely bartender Ginny/Jenny was fantastic even if it was her second day! There was a slight hiccup in the kitchen, but the manager handled it in more ways than they should have. Very grateful for good customer service! We will be back! Cheers! Thank you for a lovely day!”
