The Hungry Hiker Lake Placid Reviews
The burger here is probably one of top 3 I’ve had in my life. So glad a hiker recommended it while I was hiking Marcy.
A wonderful treat after your gruesome backpacking trip or a day hike. The food is good. Although, they changed the menu from last year. There’s always a calm presence of the staffs at the eatery which is so cool. Always smiling and positive vibes from the people around. Overall, I love the place, people and the food. Would definitely recommend to all the hungry hikers.
The BLT was great they have Adirondack soda and of course the atmosphere is great

Snack bar style burger blew me away! Hungry after hiking? Get their burger.
After a long hike back from camping at Lake Colden for 2 nights, we were happy to discover "The Hungry Hiker" at our parking lot. We were expecting basic hamburgers or hot dogs, but found a diverse menu instead. The tacos were damn good!
Best burger I've had in years
Hamburger was amazing, and the beer was good as well.
Yum and wow pulled pork on a bun was great
Lots of vegetarian options!
Good food close to trailhead

Very limited menu, lots of vegan choices, hamburgers, gluten free buns, 2 icecream flavors. I really appreciated it, we went 2 nights in a row and our burgers were delicious. I got it without a bun, my boyfriend got it with a gluten free bun and he said it was "quite good". The burger came with lettuce, onion, and tomato all fresh and yummy, the coleslaw was homemade and amazing, and a delicious pickle. I would give it 5-stars except the menu is so limited. It was so great to do a 12.5 mile hike and then not have to cook. Another issue was that the staff closed for their "lunch" break around 5:30pm when it was the busiest time, people were all coming off the trail .. seems odd that they would take that time to take a break, when they are only open from 2-8pm ...

I ordered a hot chocolate and they made me wait for 10 minutes. After that I asked and they said the water heater has complications which is what they lowk should have led with. Then they gave me a Soda. Never get the black cherry it is so buns. If you want food just go to McDonald’s in lake placid.

To start, when checking out they boldly asked if I would like to leave a 15% or 20% tip for my order. This place does not give full service like a restaurant, you just order and then go pick it up at the window. It was a little off putting that they would just make those the two options. I decided I would leave a tip because I love the ADK Log and want to support the facility. Later when I was eating my burrito I found not one but TWO chunks of sponge in my burrito!!! They we green synthetic plastic chunks. This is inexcusable. If anyone is reading this I ordered my food on Aug 14 (Friday) 2020 between 3:45-4:15pm. The chef on duty should be acknowledged for this mishap.
