“Excellent food, great service, friendly family atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Truly incredible dishes and great service!“

“Any restaurant is measured against three things: Food, atmosphere and service.

The place takes cake on all.

The GRAND breakfast options were literally ~$15, which was a surprise because - honestly - just based on the location and ambiance - I thought it was going to be much steeper.

Services was on par, and the manager on duty even accommodated a special request next day 30 minutes earlier than their regular time because of our travel plan;

And the view! Just outstanding!“

“this place was a stop of the 518 Jeepin' Duck Hunt as part of the lake George winter carnival. we spent some serious $ in Lake George during this fun event and we'll be back!“

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

“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.“

“The salad bar is amazing!“

“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!“

“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!“

The service was outstanding, the energy was amazing, and everyone was welcoming. Definitely a 5-star experience. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“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 ♥️“

“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.“

“Beautiful view of the lake. Food was mediocre. New England Chowder was delicious. Po boy shrimp sandwich was just ehhhh. Needed more sauce and less bread. Quesadilla beef was really salty, the chicken also was way over seasoned. Chicken tenders were good, fries good. Waitress was friendly, good overall service. Food just just lacking for what you pay for.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Favorite place to see a band. Amazing crowd. The food is great. They have the best fried pickles. The fries are great and they have a dill pickle chicken sandwich which is delicious. Their gluten free buns are excellent. They're not crumbly like drywall. Drinks are made right. It's always a good time.“
