“An Unforgettable Experience for Our Group of 40! We recently hosted a large group of 40 people at The Beach Club at Lake George, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. Planning for a group that size can be a challenge, but the team at The Beach Club handled every detail with professionalism, warmth, and flawless execution. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality and breathtaking views of the lake. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and the setting—right on the water—was absolutely perfect for our summer gathering. Especially since our boys got to fish and swim while we ate and had a great time! Speaking of staff—the service was phenomenal. Madison our server was the absolutely best! She got our food ordering quickly, drinks were constantly refilled and she remember each family by name. She separated our checks flawlessly and was so friendly and wonderful!!! We will definitely request Madison and bring our crew back to the Beach Club next year! If you're looking for a place to host a group in Lake George, look no further. We can’t recommend it highly enough.“

“we loved our stay. The views were beautiful and so relaxing. The food was delicious, and we loved that you could order at the Cabana bar as well as in the restaurant. We were not disappointed with anything we ordered. Best risotto I've ever had. Our bartender was very attentive, friendly and made great drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting lakeside in the evening relaxing with drinks. All staff were friendly, very helpful and hard working. We truly appreciate their hard work, and it didn't go unnoticed. The beach was clean and so family friendly. We just enjoyed sitting in the chairs, which were in the water and observing the breathtaking views. We were walking distance to the wonderful Lake George village. Our room was comfortable, clean and great AC. The fire pits at night were a great addition. our stay was very relaxing and we had a great time.“

“I’ve been going to Monte Cristos for years and never leave disappointed. Friendly staff, great food, beautiful view! My only problem is I seldom stray from the Buffalo Burger, absolutely delicious! Highly recommended if you’re looking for some good eats while enjoying Lake George!“

“Unless you've been there, the restaurant is not easy to locate. It's down a hill and literally no signage. We actually walked through a wedding reception looking for the restaurant. It was very awkward and uncomfortable. Wedding reception staff tried to direct us where to go. Once we were seated and found the restaurant, it was cozy and charming and the meal was spot on. Like other people have complained, hard to enjoy the scenery with weddings happening so dont assume you have free reigns to walk around the property. Service was very good. Overall friendly and accommodating, though seemed annoyed that we complained about difficulty finding the place- almost like they've heard it a million times before. I would eat there again.“

“Ordered sliders with fries. The sliders where we'll cooked and the fries where amazing. Delicious“

“Absolutely love this place and am looking forward to coming back next summer. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, but what really stood out was the exceptional service and best margarita I have ever had made by Helen! The food was great (best burger I’ve had in a long time) and the prices were very reasonable, especially for Lake George. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a full meal, this spot is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend!“

“Never a bad meal. Because our our young family we got take out this year but Duffy’s is always a reliable option for a great meal. Totally reasonable prices and awesome service. They even give a veterans discount that they mentioned bc they saw my USAA card! (My wife served 🫡 ). A must stop during your trip to Lake George“

“We were to meet my son & family in Lake George to celebrate their anniversary Sat 6/24/23. He told us to meet them a the East Cove Restaurant at 5:30pm. They're not there, we go to the bar as we have in the past. Get a drink & ask about the reservation - there is none. We get a phone msg, they told us the told us the wrong restaurant, errrr!. They're at George's which is only 100 yds up the road. "You're killin' me Smalls." After that hiccup everything at George's was excellent. This is a prime rib, steak, & seafood restaurant. Our waitperson, Richard T was pleasant, helpful, & efficient. Two Fiddlehead IPA ($8ea) and two Banfi pinot grigios ($11ea) during our meal. My bride had broiled haddock w/ a side of cauliflower ($28+$4) which was almost double the portion generally served in restaurants. I had the pork shank osso bucco w/ mashed potatoes ($31) and their very popular salad bar. A large & tender shank w/ a very good demi-glace. Very nice offering excellently prepared & served. "Our steaks and ribs are hand cut and house seasoned Entrees Include choice of salad bar or soup du jour / clam chowder and choice of starch" - George's. Also had the stuffed mushroom appetizer ($12) and a basket of garlic bread w/ pesto (chef's compliment). Also two petit prime rib dinners ($35ea) & a very large "Kids" spaghetti & meatballs ($15) George's offers excellent food & service. Note: And not just b/c my son is friends with the chef, Nick DeJesus. A great dinner as we have come to expect from the staff at George's. Open Thu-Mon 4-9pm. plenty of parking. Reservations are a must, especially during the busy tourist season. Highly recommended. Thank you to Richard T, Nick DeJesus, & the rest of the staff at George's. Nick* & Liz, Albany, NY *Rick Neel's Dad.“

“Such a fun place. We stopped for a drink before our boat ride ands had a fun time. I didn’t comment on food because we didn’t order but it was quick pub food which still looked ands smelled good. The bartender was Eric was great and the live music was good as well.“

“ADK nachos were super good!! My husband got the steak and loved it. I did half a chicken with homemade bbq sauce, sweet potato fries and Mac n cheese. Chicken and fries were soooo good. I found the Mac n cheese to be bland but I think that’s the style if you were to pile on something bbq flavored then it would have been better. On its own it wasn’t my taste but everything else was very good. Can’t wait to go back next trip to Lake George!“

“Staff was very accommodating for our needs for large table. Waitress was fantastic with our orders and handling the kids at our table. Food was a 8.5 out of ten but great for the price. The homemade root beer was delicious. Highly recommend the place if your in the area John“

“The Tamarack Inn has a great atmosphere, featuring 70s-80s music, vintage decor, and an absolutely charming and attentive staff. Our breakfast was amazing—we tried the special Apple Cinnamon pancakes and the Colossal breakfast. Both were full of flavor and tasted fantastic!
If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and a cozy, classic setting, the Tamarack Inn is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend it!“
