“Excellent food ,service and atmosphere, but you got to order a sportys cheese burger ,yum.“

“Such a cool hometown bar! You must check out The Barking Spider for a fun time, great drinks, and awesome conversations. The staff and customers are so friendly and offer great tips on local events and things to do in the area. Bring a dollar bill with you to write a note on it and have it hung from the ceiling to mark you visited this iconic spot! Thank you, Tim & Julie, for kickin’ it with the Candlewood Lake, CT girls this weekend! You made our trip so memorable!“

“We had another nice visit & dinner here on Wed July 5, 2023. Our party of 4 was seated promptly. Open Wed-Sun 4-9pm. They don't take reservations but have a bar & deck to enjoy a drink while you wait for a table. Always busy here in the summer months. The waitress (Calvert?) brought the menus, told us the specials & took our drink orders. Our meals were:hot spinach salad w/ grilled chicken ($14), the special-cedar plank broiled salmon w/rice & slaw ($21), chicken w/spaghetti ($17), & NY sirloin w/ potato & veg ($22). Wait was 30 minutes on a very busy 4th of July vacation week. No problem for us. All meal were per order, hot, and generous. OP's is always consistent with the dinners. Just a very good place to visit on the busy Rt 9 & 8 intersection at Loon Lake. Thank you for the great service & food. See you again when we're in Schroon Lake. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY“
