I ate here during my first trip to the High Peaks region in 2021 and was incredibly pleased with the ribs, but I thought maybe that was just hiker hunger talking. Then I ate here again in 2022 and confirmed that the food here is fantastic. The wings, the ribs, the burgers, the sides. Everything was great, service was friendly, and the atmosphere is cool as well. This will be the restaurant I visit for any future trips to up here.

Great food and friendly service. Husband says this was probably the best burger he's ever had.

Delicious hole in the wall BBQ joint. Excitingly with great gluten free options. We came last year during a hockey tournament, I am looking forward to coming again this year.

We're not generally bistro and grill kind of people, but this place has definitely reminded me never to judge a restaurant by its name. This was an exceptional meal. I have never had wings quite like this. Unique! And I had a cup of the best homemade chili I've had at a restaurant in years, and was delighted to have a 1/4 pound ALL BEEF (Hebrew National) hot dog (sorry, that's the only kind of hot dog I considered to be the real article) that was grilled to perfection and only needed mustard and some onions! And my husband was impressed by their Reuben panini. The staff was spot on. Very friendly and personable, excellent service, didn't hover, and didn't ignore. They were just real people. A bonus was its location, on the first floor of The Pines Inn in Lake Placid. This is a full size hotel, one of the few in the area since no other large ones are permitted to be built anymore. The interior is amazing and the new owners are planning to bring it back to its glory. All in all, if we were up here more often, this would be on our favorite restaurants list!

You like a European mountain place? This is it! When you sit down, you could be at a small restaurant in the Alps. Excellent BBQ. Friendly service. Good prices. Wine/Beer only

My husband had their sampler. He loved the brisket, the smoked ribs the sausage and I definitely enjoyed my burger

We stumbled upon this family owned bbq paradise on our trip this past weekend. Got to talk to Logan, and his mother. It’s so refreshing seeing a restaurant with fresh ingredients, and different flavors. They made cheese curds DELICIOUS… and we even were blown away by the smoked chicken wings. Truly disappointed we weren’t able to make it back to try the amazing burgers, due to unfortunate circumstances during our trip. But you bet we will be back the next time we are in town visiting. Thanks again for such an incredible experience.

Amazing hole in the wall. We come up to the Adirondacks every year and we've been to every restaurant/brewery on the strip. In an era of overpriced hipster breweries and shrinkflation gone wild in the food service this place has stood the test of time. We're so glad we found this place. It's going to become our go to spot in Lake Placid every year. You cannot beat the quality of food and the price!

Food was phenomenal. This has been my third time eating here, and as always great service food and atmosphere. Brought some friends from out of state and they loved it as well. Keep up the great service and food. I will be back soon.

The best meal I've had in a long time. Smoked chicken wings were the best I've ever had, all the food we ordered was killer. Logan was an outstanding waiter. Can't wait to come back to the area, will definitely be coming back.

So good! Smoked chicken wings is something we've never had! Everything was delicious!

I went there twice within a two day period, it did not let me down either time. Dinner - It was very busy, but the staff was still very attentive. Drinks, appetizer, and main course arrived to my table in a timely manner. Lunch - Was seated right away, the staff was very attentive. Drinks, appetizer, main course, and dessert, arrived in a timely manner. Quality of food was GREAT! My table ordered everything from hot dogs, chicken fingers (fritters), the Fat Bastard, Polish Panini, the Heavenly Pig, Nachos, to chocolate dessert. It was all amazing, fresh, and not heavy with grease. The Price for the quality and amount of food was well worth it. Best food in Lake Placid. Hands down.

One of our favorite restaurants in placid. A little hidden gem. Great food and I would say we had a better time here than at smoke signals. We always try to go here when we are on vacation. One time we went and their power was out but it made the entire experience memorable to use and luckily they were still able to make us great food.

Stopped in after hiking. Service was outstanding. Nice selection of beer on tap, plus a menu to please most. Enjoyed a well made salad top with buffalo pulled chicken. Also tried a shrimp poboy my daughter had and some sweet potato fries both were very good. Being a little off main made it a bit whiter, which was nice

This was the best intro experience to Lake Placid. We needed a quick easy lunch and this was the place to go. The service was excellent, food was great for the price, burgers are huge, and tasty! Would highly recommend!

Best burger my dad and I had on out America trip so far, great fries and really kind waiters.

Best bbq in lake placid. Delicious cuts of meat with and without sauce. All of their sauces are delicious. Large servings. Very good!

Had an all time great dinner at Redneck Bistro. I love that it’s a family restauarant and you can tell they really care about the quality of their food. Logan crushed it as our waiter. Patient, friendly and knowledgeable. We had the brisket platter, autumn apple salad and mashed potatoes. Loved everything. Couples felt at home next to large families. Highly recommended dinner in the High Peaks.

Wonderful food and atmosphere! The staff are just the nicest. Thank you Emily for your care and service. Hope we will come back again soon!

Chose this place for my birthday meal and it did not disappoint! I am a huge foodie and everything hit the spot. We had both flavors of their recommended smoked wings, the goat cheese salad, pizza, Asian bbq sandwich and their ribs. All was amazing! The ribs were to die for and that says a lot coming from us Texans! It’s always nice to see the owner checking on things too. She was super sweet and our European waiter was great!

Logan hooked us up!!!! We had no idea how many gems there were, and this was the best one! Next time I'm in Lake Placid? I'm stopping here first. Do you self a favor, order the Sesame Apple Chili Sauce Smoked Jumbo Chicken Wings.

Had an excellent lunch here! The staff was very kind and attentive, and it was great BBQ. You should definitely try the kielbasa!

Very reasonable prices for the quality of food! Friendly and attentive staff. Food is noticeably fresh and cooked w care. Dinning area is very clean. This has become a regular for us whenever I’m LP!

The food is excellent and the waiter was delightful! Highly recommend. I wish I could remember the young man's name to give him proper credit - he was a young European student who came to the US to work to earn money for college. If management sees this and recognizes who I'm describing, he's fantastic at his job, and we'd go back just to talk more with him!

Delicious food! We were looking for a good American food diner and this was it. We had the spicy cheese curds, Swiss burger and the Fat Ba**ard burger jr and have zero complains. Great service and even better food.

First time here and first time in Lake Placid 4 days before my birthday! Food is to die for and the waiter is wonderful! I had the Grilled chicken sandwich which was awesome! Would definitely recommend this place!🥳

Great place to relax, eat, and have a drink. Fabulous atmosphere, food, & service.

Friendly staff, quick service and the food was awesome! It's attached to a cute hotel too! Prices are in line with the area your in. I'd stop there again!

It was busy when we showed up and we were told the food would take a while. We appreciated the head's up. We had the smoked wings, Po Boy, Mac and cheese and burger. Everything was excellent. Scratch made. So good. Service was friendly. We will be back the next time we visit these mountains!

Don't be fooled by the name, polish family run business. Very interesting place. Looks like the place is run by family only. Dad's the chef, mom's managing the floor, son and daughter serving. You have to appreciate the hustle and effort. Food was amazing. Wings are award winning. Everything is smoked so of course it's gonna be amazing. Interesting fact: they also manage a hotel upstairs.

Incredible place. The smoked meat is outstanding! Nothing is too salty. Very good portions, and creative delicious home made food. You can literally taste the love. Very quiet and great atmosphere. Top tier service! Try the smoked wings!!!!!!

There was a great variety of choices on the menu. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. This restaurant is a great little hideaway for tourists that need to find a spot to have a good meal with great prices away from downtown's busy craziness.

We stopped by this place during the Ski Jumping world cup weekend and we were not disappointed. We had some burgers which were delicious, made with a kaiser roll and lots of veggies and some polish kielbasa for the kids. Food was excellent and fairly priced. Owner was super nice and talked to all the customers. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

The food was amazing. You get what you paid for. The people and atmosphere is so calm and relaxing. I can’t wait to go back again.

You get what you expect from a redneck bistro. The food was fantastic as well. We will be back!

Great service and great food. Place was a little dirty but everything else made up for it. Best burgers in town, highly recommend.

Great spot just outside of town with a huge menu for anyone's taste! Large portions, great value and everything was incredible from the Poutine, to The Redneck Burger and the Heavenly Pig was to die for! Wonderful hostess, server and service! A must if visiting Lake Placid or worth the drive from surrounding areas!

The BOGO burgers deal midweek is a wonderful thing. Feeding my kid and myself such darn good burgers for a great price is a highlight of Placid life. My kid is the world’s pickiest eater, and he ate his huge cheeseburger in 5 minutes.

Very friendly staff, shoutout to Logan 👊🏻 for accommodating my friend and I the morning after our friend’s wedding. We both shared the fried pickles, Mac n cheese, and pulled pork sandwiches &🍷. Food was delicious, service was even better. If I could endorse a Lake Placid local to run for Congress in 2024, it would be Logan. 🇺🇸

Dinner on Sunday evening. Not a big crowd, and exceptional food and service. Family friendly, and large portions. All in all an excellent experience.

After trying to find dinner in the principal street, we found this place a lil bit farther. It was so good. The portions are gigantic and the food very yummy! My husband took the Texas bbq (with brisket and sausage) and I took the fat junior burger ( it was not junior at all! 😅) 💯 recommended. The service was very nice and fast. Be careful persons with reduce mobility because there are a lot stairs .

We were two people, and the truth is that we couldn't leave happier and more satisfied. The food was very good and the service even better. A 100% recommended place.

Great place for lunch! We've been here several times! Food and service is excellent! 👌 In house smoked BBQ is excellent and the home made BBQ sauce is great!

Went there a couple weeks ago. Great service, great food! Cheers from your Canadian friends Also loved the 90’s country music

This is one of Lake Placid's hidden gems! Don't let the outside fool you. Connected to a hotel it is very unassuming. The food is all homemade, and the BBQ is some of the best we've had anywhere. The prices are more than fair and any entree will leave you very satisfied. It is an easy walk from Main Street or there is a large parking lot with plenty of spots. Pro tip: If you do it right you'll be full but don't skip dessert!

In a town where there is so many options, this restaurant is hidden in the hotel and we noticed when walking by. We ate on the patio, great food and great service. We were in town for 1 week and ate here back to back dinners. Would definitely come back when we return to Lake Placid!

Love the atmosphere and I think we may stay in the hotel that this restaurant is attached to next time. Food is delicious and not too expensive for the size portion they serve!

Best burger I’ve had in a long time. Great flavor and the homemade sauces are delicious!! Look forward to come here again!!

I had a great experience, the waitress was super awesome and friendly. We ate... A LOT! If you don't eat a lot you can share, because they serve a good proportion.

It is located in a hotel, they share the same car park. We got friendly service and the wings were devine. The atmosphere is also very cool.

Super nice staff, easy parking. We ate right at dinner opening so no wait. We loved our meals and especially liked the gravy for the mashed potatoes and the cheesecake.

What a hidden gem! My family came here for my father’s 60th birthday dinner and we haven’t stopped talking about it since. My dad got the redneck platter and said that the meat was incredible - I believe they smoke it all on site. My mom who has a severe gluten allergy (a celiac diva), was taken care of brilliantly by our waiter. We didn’t catch his name, but the service was impeccable, young guy w glasses. Extremely reasonable, fast and INCREDIBLE food and service. We can’t wait to come back.

Their BBQ is delicious and all of it, including their sauces are Gluten free. I highly recommend this quiet, humble eatery for anyone looking for good food with celiac disease!

★★★★★ **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!

Oscar Kolodynski

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...

Patrick Brady

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.

Johnny Benjamin

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!

Amit J

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!

Elaina Bauer

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.

Ally Nicoll

Excellent experience! Great little place, great selection of good food, friendly service (family owned!), nice rustic atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Daniel Harmony

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.

Hugh Brown

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.

Joshua Michonski

Amazing family run restaurant with a warm hospitality and top notch food. Great meal after a long hike in the woods with fresh ingredients and huge portions. Love the heavenly pig, fat bastard burger, and redneck burger. Logan is a great waiter. Can't wait to be back!

Big Mark

Burger was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had; certainly in the top five! Tender, juicy and flavourful coupled with their homemade sauces made it delicious. Logan was an excellent waiter and is mother is very kind as well. Logan, don’t forget to pursue your passion!

Martijn Schut

When you visit lake Placid, and you love meat, make sure you visit those guys! Very friendly staff and really good food. Tastefully, juicy and lots of flavor. The exterior is not that spectacular, but the inside is cozy. Greetings from the 2 dutchy’s.

tomasz j

I admit that I was intrigued by the name of this restaurant, I also found good reviews on Google and a good location - close to the center. So I decided to go there. The restaurant has a nice interior - old shool. The service is very nice. I ordered a bbq plate with fries and soup with chilii. The soup was good - different than standard chili - worth trying. But the plate was really delicious!!! Great grilled meat, juicy. The portion was large and the fries were really good. They have good prices! I recommend and enjoy! Little update - I came back here. I ordered a redneck burger - very good and juicy! I recommend it!

Best cheese burger ever. The staff was great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I would recommend the Redneck Bistro to anyone looking for a place to enjoy great food in a family friendly atmosphere in Lake Placid NY.

From the moment we walked in, Logan, met us with an unforgettable friendliness. He made our experience here, one that we don't want to forget. Now let's talk about the food... Barbecue that speaks to the soul. We had the Redneck Platter, Heavenly Pig Sandwich, and a side of mac n cheese bites. Make sure to add this to your must eats!

Patricia Bryar

We have eaten here a few times. The atmosphere is cozy and has an Adirondack feel. The food is delicious and homemade. The meat is smoked in house. The smoked wings are delicious. Owners son is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Our server was attentive and friendly. Off the beaten path of the main drag in Lake Placid which is nice. Definitely check them out if you are in the area.

Carol Ann Jason

Redneck Bistro's specialty is BBQ. The food and service are very good. We dined outside on a large, covered porch. My husband enjoyed a brisket sandwich with coleslaw. I had a pulled pork dinner with mashed potatoes, (coleslaw, pickles, and onions, which my husband ate) and a side order of cornbread. The cornbread tasted similar to my own homemade cornbread. The pork was tasty as well. The only thing that would have made my dinner better was some brown beans or a vegetable. Our server was very friendly and attentive.

All I can say is WOW!! This place is unbelievable. Having eaten burgers in several states I like to think I'm a burger aficionado. This was one of the top 2 I've ever had. It was just amazing and you could tell no expense was spared in making it. Top quality, fresh ingredients, great taste. But the real star of the show was my wife's salad. She said it was the best salad she was ever served in a restaurant. Greens were so fresh it was like they just picked them. Service was great as well, our young waitress was very professional and extra attentive. We sat outside to eat, what a pleasant atmosphere and great parking too. A completely positive experience. My pictures tell the tale but I give this restaurant nothing but the highest rating and neither one of us can wait to return.

Burgers are tasty and crazy huge. Fries are ok. Soup was tasty but thin. The sausage panini was tasty. I think its safe to say that everything there will be good - just try not to eat too much!! The staff were really nice. The waiter was there when we needed him, but didn't hover when we didn't. Overall, a good meal.

Nice atmosphere with really fast and courteous service. The food was average for the area.

Food is incredible, with house smoked meats! They don't do themselves service with the sign out front! We stopped in on a ride through and we're delighted with the quantity and quality. Paprika fries were hot and crispy. Meats were amazing. Plan for a longer meal though as we experienced some lethargy of the limited staff on hand (seemed to be family).

Food was totally normal American diner style, and had some good BBQ. Brisket was good. Waitress was awkward.

Good Redneck burger and lots of flavors. The housemade sauces were very tasty and enjoyable. $15 for a burger with fries and a soda is a bit much but not unheard of I guess.

Excellent service, good meal. Homemade sauces at the table.

+2

A much quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than the restaurants down the road in town, it is a nice break from lines and crowds. The food is good, the place is quiet, and service is always excellent. You definitely get a bunch of food for what you pay. I try to make it here everytime I'm in town just to enjoy the contrast from the rest of downtown Lake Placid.

A great find. Just off Main street, and worth seeking out. Friendly and prompt staff. A fun diverse menu heavy on burgers and bbq. Homemade sauces and tasty sides show an attention to detail. Wings were awesome. Ask them about their name - it's becoming a thing. Recommended!

Michael Scott

I've been to many places around the world claiming to have the best burger. And it's probably the best for that locale. This is the place to be in this locale 🙌🏻 And Thursday is bogo burgers 🤬 I had a wonderful Polish Porder😀

Sean Duffy

Service was great, the staff was very knowledgeable in the menu choices. I had the BBQ platter, with brisket, pulled pork, smoked sausage and ribs. The sausage was by far the best. The other 3 meats were juicy and tender, but were a little flavorless. They had a very good BBQ sauce on the table to give some more zing. (Just to clarify, I am a no sauce guy, I like just the smoked flavor from the wood smoke.). Would I come here again?? I sure would!! The BBQ is good here, there are just different styles. Again the big thing was juicy and tender, and they nailed that.!!!

Stick with what they are known for… The barbecue! Those who ordered barbecue were pretty happy, but everything else was disappointing. For the price of the salad and flatbread pizza I expected larger, better quality and to include more chicken. The fish and chips was so overdone And six dollars seems outrageous for a side of fries. The mold wine was absolutely delicious. I do recommend that. And our waitress was wonderful. Atmosphere was warm and cozy and location and parking were convenient

I am a tourist and enjoyed my meal at the restaurant and service was good. I do wonder why they take your credit card away to process it however. It was the only time my card left my sight and I received a fraudulent charge for $1500 the next day (originating from USA, not my country) and had to destroy my card. I'm not saying the server stole my info, but the timing is very coincidental. Please get a proper at table terminal to avoid situations like this.

We had the "Ironman" waiter and he came off a bit crass, almost rude. Didn't get my families order right, forgot a drink and sauce. Told us that much of the menu was from scratch, which if true, sounded great. Either way, food was good. Ordered redneck nachos, which says should be fries but got regular nachos. Still great. Added pulled pork which was large chunks instead of thin shredded. Burgers were good but Devils Burger lacked the kick I was hoping for. Polish beer was fantastic but my cup sat empty until our order arrived. The woman that may have been the owner was fantastic, we really wanted to like it more. Sitting out on the deck made the atmosphere nice.

We did not have a good experience here. We got a waitress who it was her first day on the job. She mixed up the most basic stuff, and not a single one of our items was brought as we ordered. But what bothered us was when we simply told her very nicely that this is not what we ordered, and to please change it, she tried to play it off saying that what she brought us is what we ordered. I ordered the brisket, she brought me a platter with pork on it and I don’t even eat pork. She brought my fiancé a plate of grilled chicken and vegetables, which he hates; he ordered the southern fried chicken. We just couldn’t understand how that got mixed up. The manager was not at all apologetic about any of this, but there was one server who was supervising our waitress who was very nice and apologetic. The whole affair took an extra half hour because of the mix ups and they did not give us any kind of compensation in the form of a discount, gift card, or anything; the customer service was overall very disappointing. The food itself was decent, nothing special, but good enough. We had a much better experience at Smoke Signals down the street the night before, both in terms of the food and service.

UPDATE 10/08/24: We spent a recent Saturday in Lake Placid and headed over to Redneck Bistro for an early dinner based on a truly outstanding dinner experience the last time we ate here (previous review below). We arrived around 4 PM and were seated immediately with menus. The restaurant was maybe half-full at that time. Emilee, our server, took our orders of BBQ ribs and mashed potatoes, and grilled chicken with veggies and sweet potato fries ten minutes later, and then we relaxed to wait for our food. Even though the restaurant wasn't full or very busy, it took 25 minutes for our meals to be served. We both noticed that none of our food was what you would call hot. Warm, maybe, but definitely not hot. The grilled chicken dish was just OK. The fries were sent back because they weren't hot, but the replacements were very hot, so I suspect our meals had been sitting for a while before they were served. My BBQ ribs were a bit dry and had very little flavor. The mashed potatoes (that our server told me were "home-made" after she asked the chef) had the taste and consistency of instant mashed potatoes, so definitely not real "home-made" mashed potatoes. I don't know if our server was new to that position, but the service was off a bit during our meal. Our total bill for the two meals and beverages was a bit over $58 plus tax (guest check# 171579) and definitely not worth that based on the overall quality of the food. The entrees that we ordered on this latest visit were the same entrees as what we ordered on our last visit, so a sizeable increase in price for not nearly the same quality of food. There's no shortage of really good restaurants in Lake Placid. Sadly, we made a mistake and expected our latest visit to Redneck Bistro to be similar to our last visit, but it clearly wasn't. We'll eat elsewhere next time. Thanks for reading. Jan. 2022: We were in Lake Placid recently for a few days of a late Christmas vacation that got delayed due to other commitments during the holidays. When it came time for dinner, we had lots of choices. After some research though, we decided on Redneck Bistro. This isn't a fancy restaurant, and restaurant seating is a bit limited, but it's a comfortable, relaxing environment just the same. The restaurant was maybe 1/4 full when we arrived early on a Wednesday (a little after 4 PM) for dinner and we were seated right away. Our server, Tyler, cheerfully greeted us, gave us menus, chatted with us a bit, and then took our beverage orders. One reason we chose this restaurant was because their menu offers a large selection and variety of meals. Because of that, it took us a while to actually make our selections. Tyler appeared at our table again, took our dinner orders, and off he went to the kitchen. Our orders included a grilled chicken with vegetables, and a half-rack of ribs with sweet potato fries. And we didn't have to wait long for our meals to arrive. Both of our meals were delicious, the servings were generous for the price, and the service we received from Tyler was truly outstanding. And, BTW, they nailed the sweet potato fries PERFECTLY!! Hot, really CRISPY (not limp), and simply delicious. Our two full dinners with beverages totaled just under $49 plus tax. Before selecting this restaurant, I had reviewed the menus for several restaurants in town, and I found the prices here are in-line with others restaurants serving comparable dinner fare. We all know that things can and do happen to give you a bad experience in a restaurant but, honestly, we had two delicious meals with outstanding service here for a fair price. We would definitely dine here again, and highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Food was mediocre and over priced for serving size. Appetizer of cheese curds, taste was good, texture was good, small serving for the price. Brisket quesadilla was small, texture of the Brisket was mush. French fries were frozen fries. Kids chicken fritters are just frozen tenders. Definitely not the hype it's made out to be.

ADA, nonexistent. You walk up a flight of stairs just to get into restaurant and all seating is at complete other end of room. If you need to wash hands or use facilities you have to walk back past entrance then out of dining room, across what seems to be the old check in area. Then down a flight of stairs to find the facilities. This would have been impossible for my wife. The Service was slow, the food was slow and getting the check was slow. Food was just okay. Price was ridiculously high for basic Bar Food. If paying high prices in a tourist town is the “In” thing to do, this is your spot. Will not get a good recommendation from me.
