★★★★★ 5.0 Kelli Taylor · Feb 2026

The vibe is very cozy, and the lighting is nice, with little candles on the tables and the overhead lights dim. The view of the lake is the perfect backdrop for an excellent meal! The food here is phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about the brisket burnt end entree. It is insane, ordered it two nights in a row. We also had the smoked chicken bbq nachos, the pork belly cinnamon roll, and the smoked reuben, they were all excellent! The cranberry maragarita is also super tasty. The portions of everything are huge! Every waitress we've had there has been very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will be back!

Great place and very good food! I had a small plate with brisket, potato and cheese. It was a little bit too greasy for because the potato was deep fried and the brisket already had the natural fat, so this plate would be a lot better and lighter to the taste if the potato was boiled or baked (the oil from the brisket would be more “clean”). I personally don’t like competition with grease/oil with meat in my plate. My husband had the sandwich and it was good. Good cheesecake ❤️.

Reservations recommended. Absolutely delicious dishes. I had to order the brisket as it's their signature dish and it was a HUGE portion. The photos really don't do the size justice and I couldn't finish the plate. The wings are also really tasty and the ghost pepper hot bbq has the perfect amount of kick.

Loved this place! It had a great atmosphere. Low lighting and the smell of good food.The food was so good and plenty. My girlfriend and I had enough to keep for leftovers. Went on a friday night during Thanksgiving season. The wait was about 45 minutes. Had the bbq nachos and brisket mash special that they were serving. I can just picture my dinner when thinking about this place. Will go back again. Best dinner had in the Lake Placid area!

It was incredible via DoorDash and even better in the restaurant! I got the brisket dip and we ordered the Brussels sprout appetizer and they were both incredibly hot, fresh, and perfection. This place will definitely be our go to whenever we’re in Lake Placid
