Bartender Tony was mildly rude and unhelpful. The wings used to be a lot better back in the day but they were still pretty good. Overall, satisfied and would go back
Beautiful view, when eating outside upstairs
Best breakfast at Lake Placid (Mirror Lake)! *Much* better food than at The Breakfast Club, Etc. Dancing Bears offers housemade roasted home fries (Breakfast Club’s home fries are clearly frozen potatoes that they prep in one massive batch and dish out hard and cold for quick table turnover), delicious maple sage sausage, and thick toast (Breakfast Club serves up small frozen sausage links and thin sandwich bread, eek).

Dancing Bears Restaurant offers a unique dining experience that begins with guests being escorted through the kitchen, hallways, and storage rooms before reaching the dining area. The food is a highlight, with dishes such as the smoked salmon salad, Reuben, and Alfredo Pasta receiving praise. Many guests enjoy the Chicken Burger, although some have noted it can feel a bit dry. The fries are good, and the BBQ chicken pizza is baked fresh in-house. The service can be inconsistent; while some servers are friendly and attentive, others have been reported to be neglectful. Guests appreciate the staff's knowledge of food allergies, particularly regarding nut allergies, and the servers are quick to inform guests about menu items like deep-fried foods. The atmosphere is generally pleasant, with a nice sports-bar feel, and guests can relax while looking at Mirror Lake and the hustle-bustle of Main Street. However, some have found the presence of spiders and spider webs on the windows to be off-putting. Despite minor service issues, Dancing Bears has been a favorite spot in Lake Placid for many years, and the staff, including kitchen supervisor Luis, is often praised for their politeness and professionalism. Many guests have enjoyed a variety of breakfast entrees, exceptional fish tacos, quesadillas, and the restaurant’s commitment to cleanliness has also been noted.
