26 Best American Restaurants in Lake Placid

“Everything was great!! Staff friendly& great service!!“

“We dined here tonight and am shocked by the number of poor reviews. From the very start, the staff was so pleasant and helpful. The bread and the shrimp for starters were delicious. Our main entrees were all awesome! Dessert and cappuccino to end the meal were also a win. The ambience and atmosphere of the lodge are super cool too. We would absolutely return!“

“Excellent homemade bread with dipping oil, chicken parmesan was very good! Friendly staff. Definitely planning to go back.“

“Been coming here 32yrs. Takes a little longer than the other restaurants? Great…enjoy one of Tommy’s cocktails while your food is made SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU. No red lamps. No warming ovens. Just a fire in the hearth, Tommy behind the bar and something splendid on your plate. Cannot recommend you have dinner with Joe and Colleen any stronger. The best.“

“We eloped at Christmas it was perfect. The staff went above and beyond it was just magical!“

“Had dinner 1/30/24. Our meals were absolutely amazing. My husband had the surf and turf special and I had the brisket French dip. Both were SO good!!! And our server was great! We will make sure to come again when we are in Lake Placid.“

“Super cozy restaurant with a partial view on the mountains. The service was nice and fast.

I had the mushroom gnocchi. Super delicious, but the portion is a bit small. If you order an extra with it don't get the steak, it was horrible.“

“Wow! Our group of 4 was very happy with everything. The venison sandwich was outstanding, the tartiflette was absolutely delicious. We also had exceptional service from our waiter. Definitely recommend this cozy warm atmosphere on a cool autumn evening.“

“Great little spot! Outdoor seating and the food was delicious. The wait was a little long for the food and for the check. However maybe because the waiter was alone? Not sure if he was.

It got busier as the night went on. We walked in off the street. But will probably stay here on our next lake placid trip. Very nice.

The poutine needed a bit more flavor. Little salty but the chicken sandwich was great!“

“This really was a beautiful dinner. I couldn't have asked for better service. I believe my waitress' name was Brittany, and she was really so kind and lovely. While my food was delicious.... I'm taking off one star for price. I got one appetizer, one drink, one salad, and one dessert. And my bill was 140 dollars before tip. When I was told the appetizer special was a pasta, I'm looking at all of the other appetizers and I'm seeing prices of around 20 to 30 bucks. So I'm thinking okay this thing is probably going to be 20 to 30 dollars. I knew I wanted to try dessert and salad so I thought I'd spend less by getting an app. Sometimes you just want a cool experience without breaking the bank. Not to mention I try to stay within my 100. 00 budget I get for traveling for work. Needless to say I was sticker -shocked when I saw the pasta was 60 dollars. The portion was EXTREMELY small, there was no meat. Just noodles and sauce. So it definitely hurt to pay that bill and I wouldn't come here again. However I'm glad I got the experience since they do make you feel very catered to. The amouse bouche selection was a pork consomme that was absolutely heavenly. Highly recommend if money is no object. Highly recommend staying away if it is ?“

“I wish I could go back in time and not eat at this restaurant. The food looked nice but it just didn't taste good. The menu online isn't even close to the food they actually serve.“

“Great food and service absolutely would go again next time in the area! The Cuban was amazing!“

“This is a foodie's paradise! Simple but sweet atmosphere. Chef Andrea creates food for the soul, and Liz presents it in a prefectly balanced friendly, attentive manner. This was an unexpected treat! The food was creative and delicious, while the service was literally perfect. I felt like I went to a friend's house for dinner and a Michelin chef showed up to help! Kudos ladies! I highly recommend and look forward to coming back to Lake Placid, because this is the first place I will visit! Thank you both!“

“I wish I could clone this bakery and bring it back home with me. All the items are scratch made and so incredibly delicious. It is really a To go order joint as it is really tiny inside and it's so popular you sometimes need to wait outside for it to clear out to even get to the counter. Rest assured, it is worth the wait!! We were in Lake Placid 3 mornings and I got (as the hobbits call it second breakfast) here every morning. My wife is rolling her eyes. The strawberry and cream cheese Danish was the bomb! So good! The scones were massive and delicious! Not overly sweet either! The turnovers were fabulous as was the eclair. The Boston cream pie and mini cheesecakes looked amazing. The almond pastry was light and delicious! Get some goods for the car ride or for a delicious on to go snack or dessert.“

“The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. This is our 3rd time and we highly recommend.“

“Best breakfast! Flapjacks, French toast, everything amazing. Great service and smiling staff ☺️“

“The food is fantastic at Big Slide. I also love the atmosphere. It feels like I'm eating and drinking at a boutique microbrew in the western mountains of CO. Their team always does a great job, and I recommend the experience to anyone visiting the village of Lake Placid!“

“Everything was amazing. The service, the food, the drinks. Will definitely be back“

“Not sure why this place has any negative reviews, we loved it! Bartenders were super friendly from the moment we walked in, offering us samples of a variety of beers as first time customers. Food was excellent, prices were reasonable, and atmosphere was warm. We had the poutine, the barbacoa grinder, and the jalapeno cheddar soup. Cute little merch store right outside. Would recommend to any Lake Placid visitor.“

“Good food n friendly service“

“Never been … it was great the food was delicious“

“This place is SUPREME! I'm from the south and their southern fried steak is out of this world. Top 10 I've ever had. Woods is an insane chef and should never stop what he's doing, unless he wants to. You do you, Woods.

Everyone was kind and I felt like I had lived in Placid my whole life. Don't skip on this one!“

“Amazing food quality and quantity: we particularly loved the baked trout and the lobster ravioli. The restaurant is welcoming with a great view. Service was good. The prices are on point. A plus : bathrooms were clean. Thank you, will come back.“

“This past weekend we held out anniversary dinner. We chose Simply Gourmet for catering and it was amazing. They have a large selection to choose from. All guest complimented the food. We also got a cake, fruit tart and cake pops for dessert and they were all incredible. I highly recommend them for any catering needs.“

“Most beautiful golf course I have ever played at! The views are absolutely breathtaking! Great value for this amazing course!“

“Today my boyfriend, son and I ate here for the first time, the food was absolutely amazing and our waitress was very pleasant. we were originally seated outside in a very cramped, end of the row seat that didn't accommodate us well with having a stroller.. as we got up and were about to leave a very friendly waiter seated us inside. very kind, we were pleased tremendously. as we were eating our food a gentleman who appeared to be the man who keeps up with their books was SCREAMING at all the waitresses and waiters in another language, VERY AGGRESSIVE and angry..slamming paperwork down extremely hard on their POS station.. it was extremely unprofessional and awkward for us to be trying to enjoy our food... our waitress apologized on his rude behavior. (not her fault, she was lovely). besides that, I absolutely recommend the Tuna. what a great dish that was. Hope someone lets that gentleman know it was absolutely noticed by customers and really unprofessional.“
