Restaurants in Saranac Lake

“Hidden gem in the Adirondacks, great food, flavor combinations I hadn't thought of, Ham Stuffed French Toast, excellent. Beautiful views of the region, friendly staff, quick service. We have stopped in twice and will make it a regular stop when in the area, the prices should embarrass the rest of the restaurants in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid that think a tourist destination needs to empty a customer's wallet.”

“We ordered take out and the service was great! The food was excellent!! We will recommend this place to anyone! 5⭐️”

“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.”

“We went to Anne’s Crepes again because we just couldn’t get enough!\nThis food is GOOD, never disappoints, and Anne is as nice as ever!!!\nHam and Onion savory crepe is SO GOOD, and all desert crepes are some of the best deserts you’ll ever have!!\nThis is a 5 STAR EXPERIENCE, FOR SURE!!!!\nWILL BE COMING BACK SOON!!”

“Party on the patio on Thursday evenings is a must for any music enthusiast. Go and have a cocktail and make some friends!! Everyone's friendly and willing to dance”

“Cute small town vibes. Our waitress was very nice. Our food was fantastic. I got the hash and eggs. I was expecting your typical corned beef hash and was pleasantly surprised when I received real pieces of corned beef in hash browns. I am a condiment queen and this tasted so good I don’t even touch the ketchup. We will be back in January for sure.”

“This place is AMAZING! From the food to the drinks to the service! We are so happy we decided to stop here on a whim. Chelsea was friendly and recommended a sandwich I ended up loving. 10/10! ⭐️”

“Wow. This place was incredible and well worth the 15 minute drive from Lake Placid. The staff all made us feel like royalty and the food was perhaps the best meal I have had in years.”

“Our party of six stopped in last night on our way back to Tupper Lake from Lake Placid. Our kids and their friends were especially hungry from a day on top of the mountain and they thoroughly enjoyed their pizzas and tacos. My wife and I enjoyed our Mojitos and Cure NEIPAs. Our fried chicken sandwich was perfectly flavored and the chips and queso were an amazing start. As co-owners of our own brewery, we were especially pleased with the level of service at each encounter (hostess, bartender, waiter, server, even the person who sold me my shirt). I also architect nerded out over the design of the place and the perfect use of the site. Being from NJ, I was pleasantly surprised at the somewhat urban scale /vibe to a place I never suspected to have one . We will definitely make this our stop every time we pass through. Five stars!”

“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.”

“Beautiful atmosphere! Each time we’ve visited, this bar is quiet and cozy— certainly a hidden gem. Great place to sip a cocktail and play a board game or read a book. Highly recommend!”

“100% the best gyro I have ever had. unreal.”

“Looking for a place to eat after completing a nearby hike, we saw their menu board and were intrigued. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and the food was delicious. The names of the food were unique and I enjoy that whoever created the menu has a good sense of humor.”

“If ever in the Saranac Lake area, Sunset Bistro is a phenomenal dining experience not to be missed! Exquisite food, generous pour and service is exceptional!”

“Wonderful employee's and food!”

“Great ambiance! Love the drinks! The staffs were so warm. Kudos! 🫶☕”

“I used Jamdots Baking Co. for the first time in June to make a bridal shower cake. The cake was wonderful—it was exactly like I’d ordered and delivered right on time to the venue in Lake Placid. It was delicious!”

“Melissa made us 2 birthday cakes for a family reunion. One was strawberry with buttercream frosting. The other was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. First, they were beautiful! They were creatively decorated in an Adirondack theme. Then, they were delicious! And now they are gone. Everyone loved them. 😊 The price was a good deal, too.”

“This restaurant was such an incredible and unexpected find on the way home from the Bloomingdale Bog! I have traveled widely and the best food I have ever had was in Venice Italy: I kid you not, the food and service here brought me back to Venice and Florence. I had the shrimp special: shrimp cooked with sautéed vegetables: onions, sliced garlic, roasted red peppers, large wands of broccoli, all cooked to perfection. The veggies still had flavor and bite, the large shrimp were perfectly cooked, and all tossed over pasta with delicately flavored sauce and olive oil, which never overpowered the flavor of the main ingredients. My partner had the Chicken special which was perfectly tender chicken breast bathed in a cognac marinara sauce, with mozzarella cheese, roasted red peppers and a side of delicate pasta. For dessert we enjoyed the Tira mi su, my favorite, which I make from scratch myself. The pastry and pastry cream were heavenly, finished with a thin layer of chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. Stupendous. The lemon cake was also obviously made in house, with cake that was not too sweet, richly textured with a nice thick layer of lemon cream between the two layers. This dinner was a glorious North Country surprise, one that transformed this series of cold, gray days. The service was also absolutely exceptional, professional, friendly, graceful, relaxed and timely. We can't wait to return, and I would highly recommend you treat yourselves...especially now when it's slower! Light up a cold winter evening. THANK YOU!”

“Best buffet experience I have ever had, helpful and interactive employees with fantastic attitudes and smiles. It was wonderful to see the employees enjoying their day. I could not have asked for better service, atmosphere, or food! This was exac What I needed today.”

“The ribs were excellent the Mac n cheese was amazing and the rings and fries were cooked to perfection! Lisa did a fantastic job as our server. We’ll be back! Thanks!”

“Great little sub shop in the town of saranac definitely get their pickles and their garlic dill bread on whatever sandwich you get it's absolutely delicious if you love pasta salad there's is extremely delicious they even ask you if you want to add other toppings on it as well because it's a very simple salad granted it's so delicious and so flavorful I don't think you need to add anything to it other than maybe some onions.”

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.”

“Great place to work and hang out.”

“The lady who takes your order isn't the easiest to deal with, but the food they put out is exactly what you want when you order Chinese. Great pricing and freshly made, they even have their lunch special available during the weekend! If you're looking for Chinese food that doesn't cut any corners this is the place!”

“No. 1 Chinese Restaurant is our favorite local takeout place when we are to busy to cook. The choices are many, but we have our favorites. Everything is consistently fresh and tasty. The owner is energetic and super friendly. Give it a try and then you'll know why we keep coming back. Enjoy 😉”

“We desperately ran in seeking nourishment after a long day at camp and were greeted by super friendly staff who offered some delicious slices to go! Our pizza was warmed up to perfection and ready in just minutes! ❤️”

“our favorite Mexican restaurant! margaritas are excellent and the shrimp chimi is to die for”
