32 Best American Restaurants in Lake George

“We love the Caldwell House ~ it’s our go to for all special occasions. We came tonight and were so sad to find out they quit serving their famous cheese and crackers. That was our absolute favorite thing about coming here.“

“The first thing you notice about Bambaz is how cozy the restaurant is. There are about 3-4 long tables inside and 2 small tables outside for couples. They also do take out I believe. It has a nice atmosphere and is very inviting. The menu is great. The service was top notch. If you are lucky, you might get an up close show with Brandon. He is one of the employees. He plays guitar quite well. It was a pleasure to watch him perform. Great vibes and food. AA+++“

“I was searching for a place to have lunch on top of the water, and found this gem. A golf course! Beautiful scenery. Food was great. Very fresh and some added flavors to make this spot a little different. The pretzel bits are great, with the maple mustard..yumm.I was also told the best view was from the 10th hole...it sure was breathtaking. I would go eat there again for lunch and for a stroll.“

“Great staff.. excellent food“

“The food is always spot on! We have come here for several years since our daughter lives in Lake George! She is just up the road and takes us 2 mins to coast down to them! Sometimes when we are in town we come multiple times because the food, atmosphere and the staff are so great!“

“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!“

“Incredible food (savor every second/engraved into your taste buds), atmosphere (romantic/boujee), service (professional and catering) I went there for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend the mood was something out of a romance novel. The food was incredible and every flavor matched and loved every single bite. Serving sizes were on par with enough room for dessert. Drinks were high quality. Picture the dinning at Mr. Gatsbys, you feel VIP the second you walk in the door.“

“We had great wings and burgers!! The staff and the Owner/Manager were so friendly and accommodating. Had a great time!!“

“Just got off the Lac Du Saint Sacrement. We had a wonderful luncheon cruise. Our waitress Afi was the absolute best ever.“

“Best restaurant ever. Been going there for more years than I can count on both hands. Food is consistently excellent and Jackie and Brian are amazing along with the entire staff. We love everything about Brunettos ♥️“

“My husband and I had a wonderful time! The food was delicious and Rebecca was AMAZING! I highly recommend the pecan chicken salad and my husband enjoyed his beyond burger!!!“

“You dine at the Boardwalk for the AMAZING views of the lake, as it's perfectly situated in the heart of the village to see the Lac du and Mohican pass by. The service is always super quick and friendly. As for the food, it's mostly fried bar food. Chicken tenders are frozen out of box and so are the fries. I am not sure why cooks today don't want to serve hand cut fries. Lazy? I like the fried fish, but I doubt it's fresh fish and likely frozen too. Let's just say its location and views of the lake are what keep this place in business. That's why I go there when I am visiting the area. You don't really go here for the food and the culinary experience. Regardless, I will keep going there on sunny afternoons for lunch to take in some fresh Adirondack air off the lake and great views.“

“Love this restaurant in Lake George!! My meal was delicious! Salmon with rice and broccoli, YUMMY! Our server was extremely attentive and pleasant and the prices were very reasonable. Love this local gem…and the owners are lovely as well :)“

“Went to our 1st Super Bowl Party at the Lakeside Lounge @ The Fort William Henry It was amazing ! The room was set up perfect the food was amazing ! Managers Marie & Renee took great care of us and our sever Taylor was doll the bartenders were Very accommodating! The outside view with a fire pit topped it all off had the best time. Hope they do it again next year.🏈🏈“

“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!“

“Best restaurant in Lake George. Food is amazing!! Fresh ingredients.10 out of 10! You not only get a phenomenal meal at Mario's, but you get an experience...very romantic atmosphere. We love it here and will be coming back for years to come. Very special place.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious! Try the French onion soup it is the best ever! Great atmosphere! Staff is super friendly.“

“Duffy‘s Pub Just happened to be the first place we came across to grab a bite to eat when we first got to Lake George Village. The food was OK. Nothing great. I had a sandwich which was similar to a Reuben, but with turkey and no sauerkraut. I had to have the waitress bring over extra dressing since it was pretty dry. My daughter had a wrap which she said was good. We had a nice view sitting on the outside portion that has a roof over your head with Big open windows. We both thought the drinks were watered down. Since neither of us seem to feel anything after them. It was a little pricey for what we ordered. The waitress was very good and attentive. Their bathroom seems to need some tending to.“

“It has been tradition to stop here for breakfast at least once while traveling through and in the past 30 years we have never missed the opportunity to do so. Yes, it has changed but it will always be a staple in our adventures, even if we are just passing through.“

“The hosts was very friendly the staff it’s very professional and attentive Always feel welcome“

“Moose Tooth grill has a great family atmosphere. The food was good and typical of what you would expect from a restaraunt geared towards tourists downtown. 4 meals, a few mugs of Bear Wizz( locally brewed root beer) and a few pints later and we were out the door for about $100. Overall it was a good experience and we will return the next time we are in Lake George.“

“Highly recommend! We were there for their October fest meals and they are large portions and delicious! Definitely will go back next time we are in the area!“
