12 Best American Restaurants near Lake Clear

“Stopped for dinner while riding our sleds from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. Our meals were excellent, there were plenty of places to place our gear to dry out, and the owner helped us out with an issue with my clutch! Awesome place, love the history and the atmosphere.“

“Excellent meal, the staff were great! We will be back!“

“Cozy & homey atmosphere with great service and amazing food. My friend and I split the poutine and I got the St. Regis, everything was phenomenal. Definitely will be making a trip back!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always great food and great company. Very friendly place. Try to stop in whenever we are in the area on a Friday.“

“We had an amazing lunch while we waited for a bicycle repair. The Buratta and Blueberry flatbread was fantastic! If we find ourselves in Saranac Lake again, we will definitely make a lunch stop here.“

“Bluemoon is a staple in Saranac Lake. Always friendly. Always amazing food. I just recently got out of the hospital and really wanted some comfort food so my family and I went in. My daughter and I shared eggs, potatoes, pancakes and bacon. My nephew had French toast and my sister had an omelet. There were no left overs and we were all extremely full. Even ordered a few things to go for the couple family members who didn't join us. It didn't break the bank. Or server Seamus was awesome and friendly and timely!!! Definitely recommend Blue Moon to everyone who is looking for a great breakfast!!! (I'm a local and work at another local lunch/dinner place. And I always recommend Blue Moon to people for breakfast) You won't be sorry!!!!!“

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.“

“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 We were given old menus with outdated descriptions and pricing. 2.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.“

“How was this our first time here?? Yumm!“

“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!“
