12 Best American Restaurants near Old Forge

“We went here for a fish fry on our 35th anniversary. The portions were huge, cooked perfectly, and delicious. We have ordered wings here several times for take out and they were also, large portion, cooked perfectly and delicious. We would not hesitate to recommend this place stop in the convenient location in Eagle Bay.“

“We sat outside. They were extremely busy but the service was fantastic, upstaged only by the food. Great experience. Would definitely recommend!“

“We rolled into Old Forge with big weekend energy… Mother Nature said, “Absolutely not.” Plans? Cancelled. Weather? Rude. Morale? Questionable. But then like a beacon of hope shining through the Adirondack gloom we discovered Front Door Diner and Back Door Bar. Breakfast in the front like respectable citizens. Lunch and dinner in the back like we pay rent there. At one point I’m pretty sure they were considering giving us our own booth and forwarding our mail. The food? Unreal. The service? Elite. The vibes in the back? Exactly what eight grown men needed after getting emotionally bullied by the weather. What started as a busted weekend turned into a “Well… at least we found our new favorite spot” kind of trip. Officially proud to call myself a Back Door Boy. Membership pending Tom’s signature. 😎🍻“

“Best food and best service in Old Forge. Beware, only open past 2 PM on Fridays for fish fry. I wish it was open for dinner always. All the locals there do r a reason.“

“Stayed this weekend and had a great time. The property is beautiful! We loved that we could book a room with bunk beds for the kids. Dinner at the restaurant was great as well. Decor is cozy in the best way. Everything we could want for a weekend in ADK“

“We were throughly impressed with our lunch at Daikers. We were seated in the deck with an incredible view of 4th lake. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. Our umbrella needed adjusting, and they immediately come to our assistance with a new one! The food was tasty. We then rented a pontoon boat from them - it was spotless. The owner and entire staff were incredible. We will return.“

“Dec. 6 I know it's off season. Coffee and french fries good. Service good. But pulled pork I could add ketchup and added 100% to zest. Wife's fish quality but greasy as hell. Cole slaw tasted like apples nothing similar to Cole slaw at all. Probably won't eat there again. Plus pulled pork barley luke warm.“

“Travelled from Old Forge. Excellent food and very reasonably priced! The fish fry is HUGE and delicious. The ribs, delightful and the French onion soup on point!!! Our waiter was Robert and excellent!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had dinner at Duffys. What a great experience. It's tavern food, but we'll done. They are under construction, and making it work during the process. Their kitchen is a food truck attached to the building. But don't be fooled. It's a dot down place with good food. Highly recommend the spinach artichoke dip and the reuben.
