★★★★★ **Absolutely Outstanding – A Hidden Gem Worth Every Star!** If you're looking for real, honest-to-goodness homemade food that tastes like it came straight from someone's backyard smoker, this place is it. Everything here screams authenticity, and it delivers in spades. The **smoked pork** is next-level – never frozen, slow-smoked to perfection until it's tender, juicy, and packed with that deep, smoky flavor you just can't fake. It practically falls apart with a fork, and the taste is pure comfort. The **burgers** are in the same league: hand-formed, never-frozen patties smoked to order, resulting in incredibly flavorful, moist burgers with that irresistible smoky edge. Every bite feels like a treat from a bygone era of great American eats. What makes it even better is that this is a true **family-owned** spot. The staff greets you like you're an old friend, super friendly and genuinely happy to see you. There's no corporate vibe here – just warm, welcoming service that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant has fantastic **old-school vibes** – think classic decor, cozy atmosphere, and that timeless feel that transports you back to simpler times. It's attached to a hotel, which makes it super convenient if you're staying nearby or just passing through, and there's **ample parking** right there – no circling the block or stressing about spots. The food is nothing short of **amazing**. Portions are generous, flavors are spot-on, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. Whether you're craving ribs that melt in your mouth or a burger that ruins all other burgers for you, this place nails it. Hands down one of the best meals I've had in ages. If you're anywhere near this spot, do yourself a favor and stop in – you won't regret it. Easily 5 stars, and I'd give more if I could!

Amazing reliable food. While the American food is great, there are SOO many pubs in the area and this place is run by a kind and fun Polish family! Highly recommended the sausage. So wholesome, best stop of the trip!

Hidden Gem here in Lake Placid. 10/10 service by the owner's son where was attentive and cracked jokes with us. When we asked of what the best thing's do in town he gave us a whole list. The food here is to die for, I ordered this burger that was just as big as my face, it had pulled pork on it too. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, it is also so quiet and not a tourist trap like some of the resturants on the main strip. The place may seem a little rundown on the outside, only because it is located inside of a hotel that is currently being renovated. But trust me, you want to go here...

Had a great lunch here in early 2026. Also had a great lunch here about 10 years ago. Burgers and fries are excellent. The waiter, whose family owns the place, was on top of his game service-wise and he was welcoming with a good sense of humor. I encourage you to stop by.

BEST - BURGER EVER!!!!!! My wife and I have been here before and always had the BBQ meat platter , which was always excellent! But today, my wife had business to take care of - so she invited along and really sealed the deal when she told me that she was treating me to the RedNeck Bistro! : ) I chose the RedNeck Bistro burger. It comes with perfectly cooked french fries , but! The RedNeck Burger was OUT OF THIS WORLD - THE BEST HAMBURGER I HAVE EVER HAD! It’s a half pound of hamburger with brisket , cheese, onion ring bits, tomatoes and chopped lettuce all on a great brioche bun. My wife had a reuben panini which she thoroughly enjoyed and we split a large salad with apples and bleu cheese. My wife also had a glass of warm fruity red wine from Poland! If you are going anywhere near Lake Placid, NY - stop in and see Anna , who was our server today. She is INCREDIBLE! Her son, Logan , who normally waits on us, and is always a pleasure was home sick , so Anna had to wait on everybody today and she did it all with a big smile on her face the whole time! BTW, Anna is also the owner and the chef/cook, Bogdan, (Thank You Bogdan! Your cooking is AMAZING) is her husband and co-owner! Anna regaled us with stories from Poland after the lunch crowd cleared out! Had no room for dessert today but trust me, I have had them before. Get one to go - like I did! In summation - I hope you enjoy your meal at the RedNeck Bistro as much as I did! Thank You Anna, Bogdan and Logan! Bon Apetite!

Delicious food and service with a smile. I sat at the bar and had a wonderful time conversing with Ania who is one of the owners. I had a chili dog (chili was a special that day and deliciously prepared), as well as a brisket sandwich and two glasses of Cabernet. They offered both a traditional BBQ sauce and a spicy maple sauce that was local; both were delicious. The hot dog was 100% beef and the brisket was extremely tender and well prepared. Prices were very reasonable as compared to other places in Lake Placid, while also being high in quality. Great atmosphere and a fantastic family-owned business. One of the best in town!

This is a great family run joint with delicious, high quality burgers. The 2 brothers are a hoot. Easily worth your time if you’re looking for a good burger and good people.

We were looking for a good barbecue restaurant in Lake Placid and found it at the Redneck Bistro. A family run restaurant, the Bistro offers a great selection of barbecue style dishes along with Polish sausage brought in from a Brooklyn butcher. Portions are large and service is top notch. Our waiter, Logan, was attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return for a heaping helping of their hospitality.

This was our first visit, and it was excellent. Large menu that everyone is able to find something they’ll like.The food was delicious with generous portions, and the service from Logan and Mom was outstanding. We'll definitely be going back again. Would recommend to anyone.
