“I wanted to make sure to leave a review for an order we placed Oct 2025. My daughter got married at a gorgeous lodge in Jay, NY. This is about a 35-40 minute distance from Tail O the Pup. I had been in touch with the owner months ahead about a delivery to the lodge immediately following the ceremony that day to feed about 25 people. Communication was excellent. When the day came, I believe that the owner (I’m sorry it was a busy, emotional day and I did not get your name) lacked a delivery driver and drove the food to the lodge himself. Like I said, that would have taken him well over an hour round trip. The timing was perfect and as promised. The food was plentiful, very good, and enjoyed by all. He even threw in some extra coleslaw for free! We thank you for making our day stress-free and enjoyable!“

“Last night, visited Lisa G's in Lake Placid for the first time. Decided to try the Heirloom Bucatini. One of the best meals I've ever had! It was truly amazing and such a treat!! We'll be back next time we are in town!!“

“Consecutively great service, portions, hot and delicious food! *****“

“Food was great and the service was very friendly. You will not be disappointed!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly and the wine was great. Highly recommended I had the chicken caprese and my husband had the stuffed flounder and they were both delicious“

“Wonderful lunch ! Great view ! Kind and Attentive Server! I recommend the pesto chicken sandwich , side salad and Ham sandwich on a croissant. A little pricey but about what I would expect within that area.“

“Our favorite place to "fine dine" as a family in Saranac Lake. They incorporate local food into their menu year-round supporting local farmers, growers, and entrepreneurs.“

“We have been to Generations many times, consider ourselves locals! We live in Queensbury, NY, so we're able to get there 2 to 3 times a year! Our most recent visit was on May 22, our 54th Anniversary. Generations is our go-to place to eat...breakfast, lunch, dinner or happy hour! The food is so fresh and made to order. The wait staff is superb, especially Desiree, who we had this time...and Megan, who we've had in the past! Great job ladies, keep up the great work! 🩷 We also love staying at the Golden Arrow!“

“We ate there numerous times during our stay. Delicious food and great waitstaff! Food and beverage manager, Jeff, was on top of all details. Thanks for the extra care!“

“My sisters and I were in Lake Placid for the weekend every restaurant and pub had the Olympics on their television. The best was the Dancing Bear we went all three days cocktails one night snack the next and this morning we went and have breakfast. Amy and her staff were absolutely fantastic!!! Food was delicious service the best they cheered with the crowd and didn’t rush us out 😄😄 Thank you Amy and staff for making our weekend special 😄😄😄❤️❤️“

“Everything about Smoke Signals is top quality! The service, food and atmosphere!“

“Heated walkways are non existent now. Only 1 outdoor ( adult only ) hot tub working and wasn’t filled with enough water so jets were annoying when on, spewing water in faces. The pool was absolutely NOT warm enough to swim in and nobody was in it, not even kids so you know it was cold. If you can’t keep the amenities up stop promoting them and charging for them. The area underneath to walk through from pool to movie theater the carpeting was soaking wet and sloshy, no signs up just you step in it and gross. Staff is nice.“

“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 ?“

“For all aspiring 46ers, Peak 47 is the kind of unpretentious neighborhood bar that gets everything right without trying too hard—laid-back atmosphere, friendly staff, and hands down the best burger in town. Pair it with a local craft beer from their solid tap list, and you've got a no-fuss, all-flavor experience that keeps people coming back.“

“My go to Sammie is Esther on the Caramelized onion roll. Every single time.“

“Excellent food. Excellent ambiance and service.“

“Best food in Lake Placid!“

“Bluesberry Bakery was absolutely adorable in the morning and hit the spot. The chocolate croissants were a must, especially warmed up. We tried the raspberry scone, blueberry muffin, and a morning cinnamon apple bun and every single one was a hit. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. They had a wide selection of bakery items that all looked amazing. While it’s definitely more of a bakery than a coffee shop, the coffee still delivered. I ordered a maple latte on the less sweeter side and they nailed it, plus they offered dairy-free options. I would absolutely return.“

“Seating was quick despite being busy. Food was quick to serve after ordering. Staff was friendly. Food was very good, especially the special menu for St Patrick's day. It actually reminded me of my last breakfast passing through Ireland. This is a safe spot for decent food at a reasonable price!“

“I highly recommend this place to eat...The food is amazingly tasty also homemade and the prices are reasonable but the best part was speaking to Logan ( owners son) His parents should be so proud...A very nice experience for our first time in lake placid Diana & Jeffrey kelkenberg“

“The food was absolutely delicious and we ordered off their brew list- also amazing! The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable and we had the privilege of visiting with one of the owners who was very friendly and welcoming. The server, Carly was also wonderful and very friendly! If you are in Saranac, this is a great place to go! Thanks to our grandson who highly recommended this place! Gonna go back for sure!!“

“Great beers and the food is awesome. The staff is friendly. Always a pleasure stopping in for drinks and a meal, after a long day’s hike. Love this place.“

“We recently found the Shamrock and enjoy going there. The soups are delicious along with all the items they serve. we have been trying to make this our Friday lunch stop.“

“Boneless wings were to perfection, the mixed drinks were delicious and our server did an awesome job getting our order correct w/o writing a single thing down. Kudos man!“

“The most amazing breakfast spot…. Will be returning to try more items tomorrow and the next day 🥰“

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.“

“We stopped at the Pub this afternoon and had a great experience! The food and beverages were very good but our server Max was amazing!! A few of us in our group have been servers for many years and appreciated his attentiveness, personality and sense of humor. We will be back to see him for sure“

“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.“

We were e party of seven and unanimously agreed, food and service was amazing. The staff are amazing, super polite always smiling and always right next to you if you if you need them. This is our place to go to, every time we come to Lake Placid. Thank you to the wonderful staff and owners. You are the best!!!“

“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.“

“We had a great meal here!! The atmosphere and food were awesome. Our server Tyler was great as well!!“
