If there is such a thing as a perfect diner, this place checks every single box. Great food and atmosphere, friendly and accomodating staff, super clean. If you like cornbread, try the cornbread Arnold with the eggs poached. It's killer. ❤️🤘

This was the best meal we had during our visit to Lake Placid. Servers were very attentive, pricing was reasonable, and food was really, really good. Highly recommend the Adirondack Breakfast and Homemade Corned Beef. The owner took the time to talk with me and my family too which was very nice. Not a breakfast I will soon forget.

I had a great time here, everybody were welcoming to us. We were 13 people and they accommodate the tables for us. The waitress was very polite and nice. Good quantity of food. I ordered pancakes and eggs, they were yummie. The place Looks like a traditional diner, very clean and nice. When I come back to Lake Placid, I will have this place in my mind.

Well, we came down from Ol' Snow Mexico (Canada) to see the great place they call Lake Placid. We came here because we read many great reviews. Let me tell you this. The food was amazing, first time I ever had chicken fried steak and eggs with sausage gravy. Service was incredible (Thank you Mr. Woodz we loved you! Keep up the great work, if we ever come back we are definitely hittin you up again). Stay safe and Stay well my friends. I would highly suggest coming here for some great food and nostalgia!

Can't understand why this place wasn't packed. Really good breakfast. Good prices. One of the better breakfast options in Lake Placid.

Excellent service for starters. HOMEFRIES are perfect and real potato’s. Cheese and bacon omelette was awesome as was the eggs Benedict on a corn muffin.

The downtown dinner is fantastic, from the welcoming and smiling hostess to the chef who cooks delicious food. My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere and we didn’t have to wait to be seated. Prices are affordable, the place is clean and service is fantastic. Definitely recommend it.

Friendly service! Convenient location! And the food was surprisingly good! The space is a lovely diner setting and is around the corner from Mirror Lake. Definitely check them out!

We wanted a quick but enjoyable breakfast and the downtown area was super busy. We looked online and felt that this was the place to try. The whole place from the service to the food was an absolute delight. Furthermore, the price was very reasonable for the times we live in today. The food presentation and taste were very good. Eating downtown would have been 10-15 dollars more for the same thing. Check out the numerous pictures and tell them “some Guy” sent you.

The food was good and prices reasonable. Not your general tourist spot, this struck me as truly a locals eating est. The place was clean, food was good and it was not crowded so for us it was a good choice. We showed up about 45 minutes before closing and received full, polite service and hot freshly prepared food.

Good pumpkin pancake. Really helpful staff and friendly. If you are expecting a diner like you want a diner you will be very happy. Nice chandeliers and pigs. Not just there to satisfy tourists but local.

Their homemade banana bread French toast is a must try. Pesto egg Benedict is awesome. It’s super busy be prepared to wait least 15-20 min to get a table and another 20 min minimum to get food to the table!

I love this spot! I've been here many times with family. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It's a busy place in the mornings, but you will be seated very quickly. I love ordering coffee, the omelette and hash browns here. The portions are pretty big and the food is always fresh. I love coming here and can't wait to stop back in for breakfast soon.

We were ignored for 20 to 30 minute periods between getting seated - 30 minute wait- drink order - 15ish minute wait - drinks arrived - 20 minute wait - offer to take food order - 15 minute for food (food was really good and came out in a reasonable amount of time - we had to wave down the servers several times before we could get a coffee refill and then we're not able to get the staffs attention again until they were ready to bring the bill at which point we pointedly asked for more coffee. Most of our 7 person party ( five adults and 2 5year olds) left instead of trying to get refills. We were the center table and unfortunately because we were a party of seven there was a mandatory 20 percent gratitude. I don't think that should have been applied to our party as our entire table was calm, we did not ask for special orders, we were not checked on often (actually actively ignored several time). The food was good. It is worth getting take out here and enjoying it on the lake or river. If your looking to sit and eat somewhere that will regularly provide the service they charge a gratitude fee for... this is not the place. Our guy seemed to be trying but he didn't seem like he was actually suppose to be the server he seemed more like he was there to assist all the other servers. It was ... disappointing. Additionally if you don't have a certified actually trained service dog.... don't bring them into public establishments. My guide dog got a full two handed facial snuggle from one of the staff before I could stop him.... it is illegal to go REAL service dogs in harness.

Came here per my brothers recommendation. First thing I saw was the ductape on the seat... The best I can say it was okay. Nothing really special or memorable. The brioche french toast was pretty good. The pancakes reminded me of IHOP and the egg and cheese biscuit was pretty basic. Unfortunately the biscuit was extremely dry, even loaded with their hollandaise sauce. Once I added cream and sugar to my coffee it was okay. So, if you're gonna come, keep your expectations minimum. (I would encourage you to bring your annoying step mother here) HOWEVER Our waiter was really nice and the owner was friendly.

The food was only okay. The potatoes were pretty dry. The coffee was not very good, and the tea tasted like it was not brewed for long enough. I probably wouldn't come back to this place. Service was friendly and attentive, however

It wasnt bad. But it wasn't great either. It was very close to ihop or country kitchen which in a place like lake placid isnt saying too much. We got our food super fast and we were the first people in the door at 7 am. But the bacon was limp tough and cool, as was the fried potatoes. They seemed reheated to be honest. To spend 80 dollars on breakfast on 4 people when 2 of them shared a plate it could have been better for sure.

Really disappointed in this place, we went after seeing pretty positive reviews. We were 1 of 3 parties there, and did not receive any service for 15 minutes despite both other tables having their food. When we got our food it was cooked very poorly, scrambled eggs had a burnt film, bacon was leather, and home fries were burnt yet chewy. Would not recommend, sorry!

We walked in the door while there were open tables. Stood there for almost 4 and 1/2 maybe 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Sat us down took order never returned to find out if the food was good or not. Then we had to wait for the check. But she never returned to collect the cash. Food was decent but service sucked 100%.
