12 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Saranac Lake

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My wife and I had dinner here this evening. The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. When we were waiting to be seated one waitress look like she was having a bad evening. She ended up being our waitress and when she came to the table she was Friendly and smiling. I can say Ashley is definitely a great waitress and very friendly.“

“The 1892 is our favorite restaurant in the area! The food is incredible and they have an extensive well stocked bar. Perfect blend of food for everyone. The new owners are very nice and accommodating. We will continue to visit here whenever we’re at camp. Highly recommend everyone stop in and enjoy a bite!“

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

“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!“
