19 Best American Restaurants near 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Bluemoon is a staple in Saranac Lake. Always friendly. Always amazing food. I just recently got out of the hospital and really wanted some comfort food so my family and I went in. My daughter and I shared eggs, potatoes, pancakes and bacon. My nephew had French toast and my sister had an omelet. There were no left overs and we were all extremely full. Even ordered a few things to go for the couple family members who didn't join us. It didn't break the bank. Or server Seamus was awesome and friendly and timely!!! Definitely recommend Blue Moon to everyone who is looking for a great breakfast!!! (I'm a local and work at another local lunch/dinner place. And I always recommend Blue Moon to people for breakfast) You won't be sorry!!!!!“

“Excellent food. Cheerful atmosphere.“

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

“We enjoyed a wonderful lunch with the Ahi poke bowl & shrimp pizza paired with refreshing cocktails for my husband’s birthday today. The lovely bartender Ginny/Jenny was fantastic even if it was her second day! There was a slight hiccup in the kitchen, but the manager handled it in more ways than they should have. Very grateful for good customer service! We will be back! Cheers! Thank you for a lovely day!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Stopped for dinner while riding our sleds from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. Our meals were excellent, there were plenty of places to place our gear to dry out, and the owner helped us out with an issue with my clutch! Awesome place, love the history and the atmosphere.“

“Great vibes from the fire pits out back to the bar inside. The food was amazing too!“

“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.“

“My husband and 3, 14 year olds enjoyed trying this place out. We live 1.5 hours away. But I’ve always wanted to try it so we made the drive. The lobster roll would have been better if roll was toasted. The wings were really good. The burger had a great flavor. The fish sandwich was really great. Hubs liked his bbq ribs and bbq chicken with extra bbq sauce on it. The waffle fries are the most amazing waffle fries ever. Hubs and I already said next time we are sharing the bbq lovers meal. Bbq sauce is really great too. Great live music.“
