The Downtown Diner in Lake Placid offers a classic diner experience with a friendly staff and delicious food. This cute diner is a bit off the beaten path from the tourist restaurants, making it a unique spot for both locals and visitors. The menu features home-baked breads, perfectly cooked eggs, great burgers, and standout dishes like the ginormous patty melt and southern fried steak, which has been praised as one of the best. Customers appreciate the pleasant and attentive staff and the great atmosphere.
While some meals like the Adirondack Breakfast and Homemade Corned Beef have received high praise, there are mixed feelings about the eggs, with some customers noting a shift to bag mixes. The diner is also known for its chili and Italian wedding soup, along with high-quality bacon used in the BLT. Although some have found the coffee weak and the prices a bit high, others enjoy the reasonable pricing and the special attention from the owner. With a nice vibe, it remains a favorite breakfast and lunch spot for those looking for a simple meal to warm their tummy.
