Wonderful staff and atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious. The wait was supposed to be close to 2 hours but luckily with advanced technology these days we left a number for a text when ready! Only about 30 min later we were pleasantly surprised and contacted for our delicious meal. Highly recommend

I’ve been coming here for years, the food today was so yummy and the staff, especially Josip, were attentive and professional in every way! Recommend the wings and chicken cobble Hill wrap! We also just enjoyed the views on their outside deck and their flowers are spectacular! Also great place for families- varied menus for all!

Josip was attentive and nice to talk to! He gave great recommendations. We really enjoyed the ambiance and staff. Next time I’m getting a burger; they looked so good coming out. Thanks for having us, happy trails

Had a great meal here on a sunny Sunday afternoon on their beautiful patio. I was happy to see that all their pizzas are gluten-free and they taste amazing! One of my favorite restaurants in Lake placid village, check it out and you won't be disappointed. Service was super friendly as well.

Came here to eat for dinner the other day. The food was good, but what really made my experience was the service. Our waiter Josip was so nice, professional and accommodating!!! Would 100% recommend based off of service alone :)

Desiree our server made our experience so special. Happy, friendly and helpful. The baked oatmeal killer. The poached were perfectly cooked as requested. Sourdough is better than rye. Ask for some peanut butter for the bread 😀

The food here is very good. I had the salmon, which I enjoyed. Another member of my party had the gnocchi, which had a fantastic sauce. Another member of my party tried one of the pizzas, which was enough to allow us all to try a bit. Another member of our group had the shepherd's pie, which he really liked as well. The service was friendly and attentive. There was not a view of the lake from where we sat, but the restaurant itself was comfortable and visually attractive. Overall, it's a really great place for a family to dine together!

The breakfast was amazing and service was on point!

We’re staying at the Golden Arrow for the second time and love having Generations next door. Great food, the pancha billa nachos are amazing. Their boneless wings are probably the best we’ve had at a restaurant. Had the Eggs Adirondack for breakfast and loved it (although I think it’s much better without the rosemary-tomato jam, just not my taste!) Lots of options and reasonable prices!

We stayed at the Golden Arrow for a week which wash lovely on the shore of Mirror Lake and ate next door at their restaurant, Generations Tap and Grill 6 times for breakfast and once for dinner. The breakfasts are really phenomenal! I had the buttermilk pancakes with fresh blueberries and strawberries both in the pancakes and on top with real maple syrup. My husband had their French toast and we both tried their eggs and omelets. All fresh and delicious! We had a wonderful and attentive waitress, Desiree, several times making our experience complete. She has a great sense of humor and made us feel welcome and special. Overall a 5 star experience!!

I came to stay at Golden Arrow for my birthday. Your staff was amazing Meg I believe she's the bar manager and I think she said she was working with Oscar....amazing time. GIVE THEM A RAISE ....I will be back!

Desiree went out of her way to accommodate us. She visited the table often refilling our water carafe while we sat in the outdoor dining area on such a nice Fall day. She even got down under the table to clean a prior patrons food spill on the umbrella base so my shoes would not get in it and cause a fall. The food was so good! Kudos to the chef!

Food was amazing! Sometimes youre scared to eat at new places because you dont know what will be good, everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious and filling. I'd come back here and would bring others.

As I'm sitting here after a great meal, I feel this place has to be shared as I almost looked past Generations due to other negative reviews. I cannot speak for table service, but the bar service is prompt and welcoming. The food is very good and much better than anticipated based on other reviews. I walked in and another patron was eating the salmon dish I was eyeing up. He raved about it. I decided to order it myself and agree. There's a nice kick so beware if you're bland. I started with the Cesar salad with homemade dressing which is better than it appears just looking at the menu. Try this place for yourself. Hopefully, you'll agree.

First time diners, and I couldn’t have been more impressed!! Chef Chris McDermott has built an amazing menu tailored around his love of the Buffalo Bills, which hit me right in the feels…from one Bills fan to another…Go Bills!! 🦬🦬🦬 Right from the start, drink menu was a nice variety and very tasty. My boyfriend had the maple mule…I had the house Malbec. Appetizer gnocchi, house salad, and then the Josh Allen ribeye, done perfectly rare. Our server Vince was very kind and attentive, and very professional. Nice conversation with our table-neighbors, all who were in LP for the first time. As a restaurant server who rarely gets the chance to eat out instead of being the server, I can’t say enough good things about Generations. You made my rare night out a great one, and I’m very thankful for that. If you’re looking for somewhere that’s going to be a hit for dinner in LP, definitely consider Generations.

We had a delicious breakfast with a stunning view of the lake! Desireé took great care of us! Would recommend the flapjacks!

Delicious!! The Von Miller and the German Onion Soup was so good! They advertise using local products and you can really tell by the food. The service took a little bit but I didn't feel rushed making a selection so it worked out. The floors and some of the baseboards can use some cleaning and the guys bathroom (according to my husband) smelled really bad. It can use a deep clean. Other than that I would definitely recommend to family and friends and would definitely go back. Tried the french onion soup at another restaurant and it didnt even compare to here! The drink specials are great too! $5 well drinks 3p-7p! Had our dinner then went straight to the bar after. Lovely location and great restaurant.

Great restaurant offering pub food that is above average fare. The wings, burgers and salads are quite good. A complete breakfast is also available in the mornings. The happy hour starts early and draws a nice crowd.

We had a really nice late lunch/early dinner. The kids were excited for their medium rare (that's important) burgers, and I was happy there was a beyond burger option for me; although, I wish there was an option for fries to be fried in a vegetable oil (can't knock points for that though because I'm not the primary demographic here) to go with the plant based burger (super happy they had this option, at least), but the salad was fresh. Our server, Dino, was great! He was very helpful with the menu, and he made the whole experience really nice.

My husband and I have stayed at the Golden Arrow for many years. Over the last five years Desiree Trombley has served us. She is very personable and gives great service. She’s very friendly and always has a smile on her face. The food at Generations is excellent!!! Last but not least all of the staff at the Golden Arrow are friendly, helpful and very professional.

Thank you Dino! Absolutely outstanding! Hands down the best service and best food I’ve ever had. Our server went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect – friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making our experience special. The food was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone I know!

We had such a wonderful experience! Our server, Josip, was fantastic — friendly, attentive without hovering, and made us feel welcome, almost like visiting family. We tried the Eggs Adirondack and the Great Range, and both dishes were excellent. The portions were generous, the food delicious, and the service outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better visit. Highly recommend!

What a great location! We had excellent service from our server, great drinks, and some really outstanding food. We tried a couple different pizzas, which were so unique, and the Buffalo chicken dip. It hit the spot.

Enjoyed a delicious burger and a poutine on special. Prices for lunch felt fair for the area and portion size/quality. Nice central location in town with lake views in the back area of the dining room. Would gladly visit again when in the area.

Absolutely loved this place! Excellent menu with broad options done originally and balanced. I appreciate the server being on point when we needed everything but not intruding. I got the wolf's jaw burger and it was absolutely delicious. The cook NAILED the medium cook on the pattie (harder than most think) and everyone in our party loved the dishes and drinks! A true testament to excellence in this industry! I'd love to live closer and I'm making a return trip while I'm in town to bag Mt. Marcy!

Had breakfast, lunch and dinner here! Wait staff was terrific! Food was delicious with wonderful presentation. We were able to fo both indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful view of Mirror Lake. Would definitely return!!

This is technically the second time we are eating here because we loved it so much we came two days in a row. The atmosphere is modern with many tables. There is an outdoor deck also. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable of all menu items. We had a hand carved turkey sandwich, sausage meatloaf over mash potatoes, boneless wings hand tossed in sauce, a huge portion of prime rib, french onion soup, and perhaps our favorite the buffalo chicken dip. All the entrees were wonderful. There is a good beer list and cocktail menu also. As I said we really liked this place and will be going back.

Great restaurant. We each had big portions. I had the buffalo chicken burger which was delicious. Not too spicy and the bacon was deliciously crispy. The girlfriend had the Caesar salad that had a tasty dressing. Both had IPA’s which were also decent and local. Service was good nothing spectacular. Order taken no real conversation. The restaurant was spacious and could accommodate a lot of patrons. Very bar and grill atmosphere to it. The outside patio had a great view of the mountains but not so much the waterfront.

Great atmosphere, food, and customer service! The food was amazing! I forgot to get pictures of the soup, but it was amazing! The pickle is homemade and interesting in a good way, but it could have been a bit thinner. The prices were good.

We enjoyed sitting on the patio for our meal to soak up the sun and people watching. We arrived right before they reopened for lunch, so we have our names and phone number and got a text when the table was ready. Service was great, and our server informed us that we could swap a salad for the fries/chips option, which I appreciated. The food was absolutely incredible. I had what is essentially their French dip sandwich. The horseradish cream gave it just the right amount of zip with tons of flavor. The meat was perfectly prepared and generously portioned. The ju with onions was delicious. I couldn't even finish the sandwich but I wanted to order another out of pure greed. I can't wait to come back and try more things in the menu!

Great place for some equally great food! The naan pizza was insanly good. Both beer and mixed drink was perfect, not too strong but just strong enough! Very clean, comfortable, spacious. Both dinners were amazing, pasta dish and trout dish. Loaded potato soup, soup of the day was delicious, creamy, and hot for a rainy day. Our waitress was amazingly sweet, spunky, friendly and Very attentive with a fun upbeat attitude! Did not get dessert but wish we did with how good everything else was too! Would very much so go again if in the area!

We stopped at Generations for a late lunch. Now I have to say that one of the reasons we ate here was because the menu had Josh Allen, Von Miller, and Go Bills on the menu! (If you are from Buffalo, you know what I mean). Turns out the chef is a huge Bills Fan! We were seated quickly as it was around 3:30 pm and we were between the lunch and dinner crowd. The food was delicious and service was great! We chose to sit outside and the atmosphere was very nice. I had the German Onion Soup (which is a different take on French Onion Soup)and a half Cesar Salad (which was very large) while my husband had a burger and fries. Both were wonderful! We felt the prices were lower than most of the other restaurants on Main Street in Lake Placid as well. Highly recommend Generations Tap & Grill!!!

For a hotel restaurant it has excellent food. Very flavorful, hearty, and locally used ingredients. You can taste the freshness in every dish. Got the buffalo dip which was very filling in itself. Had a great mix of savory and spice with a the aioli sauce on top. The kettle chips that came with the dip were freshly cut and had a nice seasoning. The French onion soup had a great ratio of cheese to onion and the Ruben sandwich was hands down the best sandwich I have ever tried. Their unique blend with the crust was what made the sandwich. It has a mix of cloves of roasted garlic , whole grain mustard and butter blended in. The deli meats were perfectly seasoned and portioned within the sandwich. The fries were also a standout with a thick cut potato that was soft on the inside but very crunchy on the outside.

We had dinner last night and the food was great! The prime rib was very juicy. The mashed potatoes was smooth and creamy. The best of the food we ordered was the wolfjaw burger. The restaurant stated that they use Angus beef sourced from a local farm. It was indeed very good. The salmon was fine, nothing special. Our server Dillon did a good job. Food came relatively quickly. We walked in with no reservation. We had to wait 45 min. The big tall guy at the front warned us about the long wait, and he was right. Reservation is a must at this place. The staffs at this restaurant are good. They have smiles on their faces and we felt welcome.

Had a great meal here... couldn't have been more pleased. Hostess was super friendly and accommodating. Our waiter was delightful (I'm so upset I don't remember his name). Highly recommend the burgers and the Buds and Spuds appetizer, but everything was delicious !! Prices are very fair for the quality and portions. We'll definitely be back !! Thank you !!

Absolutely outstanding food. Beautiful restaurant with great service. Highly recommend!

One of the best omelet I have ever had. We ordered the Van Hovenberg Omelet & Four Seasons Burrito( with no meat). The omelet stuffed with cheese was rich ,creamy, and bursting with flavor as a result of the béarnaise sauce . The cheese was perfectly melted, adding a smooth texture that balanced well. Every bite was a savory experience, with home made fires which were crispy , cajun garlic seasoning making it a comforting and satisfying. The The egg white omelet was so fluffy and cooked to perfection with cherry tomatoes added a popping flavor. The Rye bread on the side was so warm and delicious. However the one thing which was overpowering the sauce was the lavender / rosemary which slightly threw away the balance of the dish. If that flavor was a bit subtle it would be an excellent dish. Again one of the best omelet I had, and it made me feel full and happy. When in Lake Placid try out this place.

Lindsay, one of the restaurant attendants (I am so sorry if I misspelled your name!!) is attentive, polite, friendly, and is an overall improvement to the general atmosphere! Which, by the way, feels like home every time I'm there! The food was delicious, the wait time was not long at all, especially for a holiday! (Happy Thanksgiving 2022!!!) I had the Firetower pretzel with cheese sauce, and went with the carved turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and baby carrots, and the pumpkin pie for dinner. Everything was great! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

After a long drive all I wanted was a good burger and a beer. I was blown away with not only the Wolfjaw burger and pumpking beer but also the fries. Apparently they cook the fries using beef talllow. 100% recommend! Dino was our server and he is a great dude!

The food here was divine. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere and fantastic views over a very cool green roof system.

Omg best food ever!!!!! Food: it was 10 out of 10 we was a group of 6. 2 kids 4 adult we all said the food was amazing. Service: meh hostes shouldn't sit a party of 4 that came 15 mins after us before us when we been waiting 25 mins. Plenty sitting room area.

Stopped by for an early dinner Saturday evening. No wait for a table, the restaurant had beautiful views of the lake and surrounding mountains. We ate inside, but there is also covered outdoor seating. We enjoyed our cocktails and meals, everything was very good.

Generations Tap & Grill is an excellent option for classic American food in downtown Lake Placid! If you’re strolling around the city and get hungry, this should be one of the first restaurants you check out, as there is a great selection of starters, soups, salads, sandwiches, other main dishes, and basically something for everyone. When we visited, we got a couple of “Cascade Caesar” salads, one with seared salmon and the other with shrimp - both were great, and a great amount of salmon on the one salad! We also got the “Blackstone Reuben”, which ended up being one of the best Reuben sandwiches we’ve ever had! I can only imagine how good their other sandwiches and burgers are if they’re on par with the Reuben. And, the atmosphere was great and service was really good as well! All positives, pretty much no negatives - moral of the story is you should check this place out next time you’re in the city!

Came here for breakfast and it didn’t disappointed. Great service, perfect view and amazing food. I ate sunrise smash, which is breakfast burger and it was the best burger I had in a while. Also ordered frittata which was very good too.

Julie Lanty

Food was delicious, service was great and it's very kid friendly. There was live music, which was awesome. I had the bratwurst meatloaf and it was sooo good! Drinks were also on point. Highly recommend if you're in Lake Placid to check this place out!

Staying at the golden arrow this place is so convenient! We sat at the bar the first time got pizza and wings back to our room! The next night we got the bonfire pasta and salad and pretzel everything has been amazing!

Lexi Pitkevits

DINO IS THE BEST!!! Such a sweet human so welcoming and fun to talk to. one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a very long time. Was craving a burger and it exceeded my expectations (which are high) perfectly cooked and charred burger, a local beef as well VERY FRESH toast on the bun was just enough crisp for a good foundation the barbecue was amazing and the cheese was melted perfectly. The French fries have the perfect crisp with just enough potato and Dino recommended the secret sauce for them which was delicious. Wish I could eat this burger everytime I wanted one, I don’t think any burger will ever compare.

Doug

Walked in here on a whim and it became the place I will remember forever. The German Shepard's Pie - Unreal. Probably in the top 3 of best meals I have ever eaten in my life. Waitress was outstanding. Great beer selection. Fantastic live music and atmosphere, topped off with a great view.

Kenyon Bajus

Enjoyed a delicious lunch here while on vacation. Happens to walk by, the menu looked good, so we walked in and we're seated quickly inside. Service was friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Ordered salmon in a Caesar Salad and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. Everyone enjoyed their meals.

Mellina S.

Stopped here with my family while we stayed around Mirror Lake. We ordered the poutine, 3 of the burgers, the pesto pasta, and some drinks! The food was quick to come and we didn't have to wait long. The burgers were EXCELLENT! I can't remember the names of the burgers now, but 2 of our burgers had pork belly on top and it was so delicious. The poutine was also great! The fries were fresh, the gravy was warm, and the poutine had a little kick to it with the large black pepper grounds. The pasta was excellent and held up well the next day as we could not finish it all in one sitting. The vibes were great too! Very family friendly and had seating for larger groups. The day we went, there was also live music outside. Would love to come back in the future!

We came in without a reservation, add our name on the waitlist and ask if we can wait inside and we were told of course, we ordered some beer from the bar and waited for a table. After around 30 minutes, which we were told the wait time was, we were seated. The food portions were huge, the food was delicious and the staff were so attentive and kind. Next time we visit Lake Placid we will definitely visit this place.

Danielle Sforza

Came here to eat on Saturday after another restaurant we originally wants to go to closed early. I wasn't sure what to expect but I have to say besides being the best dining experience while we were in the Adirondacks, this was one of the best dining experiences we have had recently anywhere. The Prime rib was amazing and the price was even better. The service was excellent as well. I will recommend this place to everyone.

Kc Cohen

Excellent food. Very fresh salad. My husband got The Cubano and loved it. Beautiful view of the mountains from the side deck. Desiree noticed we were squinting at our table and offered to bring out the awning for us. It made the lunch even more pleasant! She also suggested oil & vinegar for my salad (delicious) when I mentioned I avoided salad dressings. Great place with great service!

Aga Tinker

The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were huge! Our server Josif was super attentive, hustled and even gave us recommendations for things to do around town. Thank you for the amazing experience!

It was an awesome experience. In town on vacation from NH and Dino was outstanding. He made sure we were enjoying everything.

Was just walking up from tobogganing and saw the restaurant. We had a delicious lunch with a great view. Food was great. Very reasonably priced.

decent prices for the portion size. very tasty and sweet flatbread. pizza was kind of bland,nothing special. good sangria. chicken wings were tasty,sauce was tasty

+1

Great sauces. Wings were great. Burger was great quality and the bacon was crispy. I believe, like other businesses, it is still difficult to find good seasonal help.

Very yummy German Onion Soup.. a traditional French onion but with a twist of added meat (slow roasted pork or beef?) Smothered over with cheeses. Very good. The large pretzel was also fresh baked and served nicely but sadly the cheese dip was too thin and runny. We will go back for the soup when in the area for sure. Ambiance was nice, not overly German themed but nice. Waitress was very good.

burger was solid, chicken burger sauce was raw but they did the right thing and issued a refund for both orders. i’d definitely try the chicken burger again if prepared properly, the side that was cooked was amazing - sad i couldnt try more

Very solid dinner & got to enjoy a live pianist! The german food was fun!

Josip our waiter was amazing. Food was very good! The wings in tallow were phenomenal, buffalo hot sauce was very tasty and we’re obnoxious about wings. Pizza was average. Sandwiches and burgers great.

Really cute place! We wanted to sit outdoors but there was a short wait to we went inside but we got a table right by the window with an even better view than the deck!! Food was good, can’t complain except the cheese with the pretzels that was horribly artificial. The rest of the food was decent! We went for a late lunch, I would go back to try dinner or breakfast another day. Only had like two servers but ours did his best to give us attention.

If you’re looking for an extremely rich, palatable meal then definitely come here. The flavor is like an explosion - intense and immediate. Or maybe my palate is just sensitive. It's definitely good, though!

Food is not bad,but also nothing to recommend. Can get pricey if you're not staying at the Golden arrow. They offer all day happy hour for guests. A little disappointed about the amount of rub on my dry rub wings,but my wife liked their French onion soup and expresso martini. Will try some other meals when I'm back in town. I seen signs about a buffet so maybe I'll also check that out.

Recommended breakfast spot if you are staying in Lake Placid. Generations serves up a delicious breakfast of generous portions. The home fries are delicious but the ham/Canadian bacon is a little too salty, so other breakfast meat is recommended. The wait staff is all friendly and helpful. The view of the lake is great, too.

a very nice restaurant in the center of lake placid, with a beautiful view of the lake. very nice service, we were able to enter without booking. The food was tasty and we didn't have to wait for the order for hours ... I recommend it!

I didn’t get a chance to try many restaurants in the area but we did have lunch at generations while on a trip to lake placid. Food wasn’t great except for burgers which I would recommend trying out. The staff were friendly and service was good which helped.

I recently dined at Generations Tap N Grill, and it was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The menu had a great variety of options that catered to both adults and kids, making it a perfect spot for family dining. We tried the chicken wings, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful. The watermelon salad was refreshing and a delightful twist on a classic. The chicken tenders and fries were a hit, with the tenders being juicy and the fries perfectly seasoned. The chicken wrap was well-balanced and delicious. Our kids especially enjoyed the mac n cheese, which was creamy and comforting. The portions were generous, and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The service was prompt, and we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, Generations Tap N Grill provided a wonderful dining experience with great food and excellent service. We look forward to returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a family-friendly restaurant with delicious options for everyone.

Spacious restaurant in downtown Lake Placid, some scarce street parking and municipal lots both paid. We sat at the bar, but it seemed like there was plenty of seating. Bartender was friendly (Hannah) and the beer specials were nice. German onion soup was pretty flavorless, I expected more but it was just ok. The spuds and buds appetizer was a flavor bomb, we enjoyed this much better. The German dip was a good size and tasty with nice crunchy fries. Overall a good meal for the price with the exception of the soup. Would definitely come back here

Generations was on dinner location on our first night in Lake Placid since it was very convenient to our hotel, the menu looked good, and we were able to get in without a wait. Although it would have been preferable to have a table overlooking the water, we were fine with eating inside the regular part of the restaurant. Our waiter was friendly and very good. I had ordered a cocktail that I didn’t particularly like and he took it back and got me something else. Food was very good with each of us having the half salad, the salmon entree, and the New York Strip entree. Both were very good with a nice basil Parmesan crust on the salmon, and the strip was cooked per the request and both served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Nicely done!

Nice place, friendly staff, the appetizer and the drinks was really tasty and good. Unfortunately I was expecting the burgers to be better. But overall I had good experience. Probably will come again on my next visit to the area 😃

I’m thrilled I pick this place to eat for breakfast because when I arrive I saw whole bunch of people lining up for foods and staff told me it was Buffet. Woo hooo! I did enjoy their buffet foods. It have fruits salad, French toast, pancake, syrup, diced potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacons, and other type of foods. Also, includes juice, milk and coffee. The staff was very friendly and excellent service. I remember she told it $25 per person for buffet plus tips. Of course I didn’t realize she meant include tips. Big difference saying plus or included tips. So I found out I already pay tips twice. But they still did good job service. I like how pay my bill by scan QR code on Receipt. Because I know my credit card are safe. Atmosphere is nice and warm. Tons of tables.

Enosh Sunny

Nice tasting burger. Fries were amazing. The watermelon salad was good too. Alex, our attendant was very nice.

Julie Dail

We ordered a house salad and bills mafia beef on weck-ish. The beef on the sandwich wasn’t high quality but overall we enjoyed the food. Salad was decent size for a side salad and the blue cheese dressing was good. We ordered a side of garlic aioli for our fries which was an excellent compliment. We asked to be seated outside on the side of the building, which only had a few people out there, however the hostess said she couldn’t because they had people coming for the tables. Tables stayed empty during our entire dinner, someone aggravating because we really would have liked to eat out there. Server was nice but service was rather slow.

Aarushi Saxena

In a few words: Good food, great ambience, ridiculously long wait time. We actually wanted to visit for breakfast and sit by the water-facing side, however they were booked full and also unfortunately for us had the area cordoned off the day we visited. Still, we sat outside and had a pleasant experience, despite the slow service on a packed weekend. Both the Flatbread pizza, and crab cakes were well made and flavourful, with plenty of variety in beverages. A pleasant experience! We staved off dessert because Adirondacks Chocolates was just a few shops down the road.

First timer for breakfast. Outside dining without a lake view but still nice. Use your smartphone to pull up their menu, cool. Wait staff was nice. Reasonable price no issues there. The food came out fairly quickly, but it wasn't piping hot the way I like. my breakfast. Closer to lukewarm. Not good. The home fries seemed like they used frozen potatoes and just doctored them up with some spices. Okay, but nothing special. The bacon had a good smokey flavor and there was plenty of it for a "side" but the standout was the toast. Shipped in from a Vermont bakery it toasted up nice. The eggs themselves were fine. My issue was that they were nearly cool. Give them a try if you are around Lake Placid. Was told by a local that there are no god breakfast places around. This was good enough if you want to break your fast.

We sat at the bar. It seemed they were pretty slammed, we got the club sandwich and maple chicken and the food made up for the service and somewhat rowdy crowd behind us made for a bumpy dining experience. I’d love to come back here again to give it a second chance.

We grabbed a couple of appetizers and a drink here one evening. It had been pretty crowded most nights that we walked by, so we expected it to be it pretty good. Apparently, happy hour pricing is only in the bar area, so if you’re sitting 10 ft away from the bar area, too bad. Also, the wings are naked with sauce served on the side unless you’re sitting in the bar area? I didn’t fully understand this and so I wonder if I just misunderstood the server. We got the wings with maple chipotle and honey garlic sriracha sauces on the side (they couldn’t toss the wings in the sauce for us), the Caesar salad, and the Buds N Spuds. The wings were overcooked and hard and the sauces left something to be desired. The Caesar salad was fine—nothing special. The Buds N Spuds which is supposed to be a dish with gnocchi, Brussel sprouts, and truffle aioli was served to us without any gnocchi. I’m not entirely sure how that dish left the kitchen without one of its main ingredients. We pointed this out to our server and a new dish was made for us. The truffle aioli was very intense. The first bite was great but then it was all you could taste for the rest of the night, so it probably could’ve used a little less sauce. All in all, the food was okay and the prices were really high. I don’t know if I would recommend this place to others, but the whole area is lacking in great food and so this may be one of your better options.

We felt the food here was just "meh" and the least notable of anywhere we ate in Lake Placid. The 716 dip was solid, but we felt we got mostly bottom of the bag chip crumbs. The smoky maple chicken felt reheated unfortunately as the chicken had a tougher texture. Truthfully, I had hoped for better.

I’ve been coming to Generations for years and rarely have had a bad meal. After having dinner here tonight, that’s changed. They must have changed hands/cooks since I last was here, because it does not seem like the same food I’m used it. The prices aren’t horrible, but for what I had it still wasn’t worth it. To start, there was balsamic vinegar on almost every single dish we ordered, not a good sign. “Combinations” on every plate really didn’t make much sense. Buds and Spuds, a dish that used to be healthier, is now just deep fried and very greasy. My ribeye was flavorless, and the extremely sweet sauce that came with it was too much. Ribeye steaks should be tasty enough on their own without needing all these extra things. Nearly every dish that I ordered was like this, very odd combinations of food that didn’t go together. Really sad to see one of my favorite places in Lake Placid go downhill. Came back for breakfast, and again it wasn’t the same as it used to be. Oatmeal had granola that was just a Nature Valley granola bar that was crushed up. Portions are also much smaller. Disappointed.

Great atmosphere and good service. Unfortunately the food was a bit of a let down. The chicken was dry and the pasta was bland. The best dish was the Chicken Wings - was tasty.

I have been wanting to try this place for years and wouldn’t go back. They had a recent remodel which makes the outside look great compared to the old look. Service was terrible! Our waitress was terrible! She paid more attention to the table next to us that had 8+ people at it than her other three tables. We started with drinks they took more than ten minutes to come out. She made a point to come over and tell us the bartender hadn’t made them yet but she would be happy to take our food order. Just prior to ordering I watched the table of 8+ next to us order the same drink I did times 3 and they came out in under 5 minutes. Our food was ok, my salmon was dry and cold. The reduction on top tasted like strawberries not lavender and lemon. I had less than a scoop of mashed potatoes and two whole brussel sprouts with a single half cut cherry tomato on my plate. My husband ordered the Cuban and his food was also cold, very small portion of fries. I would give it another try however the gluten free options are minimal. Prices seemed high for what we received.

We were visiting the falls gorge waterfall and wanted a late lunch, this place had good curb appeal and we chose to sit on the street side outside tables. They did help us right way with water and menus, no delay in ordering either. The place honestly was dead. The Reuben’s had great corned beef slices just dry, the sauce was skimpy too but flavor was all there. Just wish it was more. Tallow fries were something we were excited about…they were the extra breaded/coated type steak fries and were cold and dry. Our waiter never returned to check on ask how our meals were and then when I was looking around for him, the hostess staff ignored my cues for assistance. No waiter until he was offering boxes and the check. Our daughter had the braised short rib tacos on the starter menu which was very tasty. Poor service unfortunately and when I did inform the server of our issue with the fries he just said “I’ll let the chef know”. That’s not really how to get repeat business or good reviews.

Our onion soup starter was good. On the other hand, the main dishes were unacceptable. We ordered a beet salad, and received a huge amount of yogurt (sauce supposedly) and the equivalent of a quarter of a beet. No taste or flavor. Served with crackers from the convenience store. We told the waiter about our disappointment and no accommodation was made, no discount, and he was very condescending. Very disappointing, I absolutely do not recommend.

We stayed at the golden arrow hotel and had one breakfast here. We requested to sit inside but got refused and placed on a table without shade. The excuse was they don't have enough people to serve more areas, even though they always have the spece inside. It doesn't sound reasonable to me - this is not only just a restaurant, but also a promise to whoever stays in the hotel. If you cannot serve the hotel guests well due to understaff, the affiliation with the hotel should be removed.

Reviews looked great but didn't get to eat here. Sadly the staff couldn't be bothered to acknowledge us while we stood right in front of them at the hostess station. Instead she sat at the door talking on the phone trying to not look at us and didn't say anything to us. Other customers started walking in and still no indication of acknowledging any of us, we all waited.. Place was pretty empty, 4-5 tables were seated and one couple at the bar. We have up and went somewhere else that had way better service.

I was very excited to try this restaurant as it came Highly recommended. I could not be more disappointed with the quality of food. The calamari was less than one serving, and the chicken was raw. The wrap was inedible. However, when I called, the customer service was great and credited us for the wrap and offered an additional meal which we declined. For the price of the food, I expected a bigger serving and an edible meal.

Probably one of the worse meals I’ve had recently. The lettuce was soggy. I had two thin slices of avocado that were brown. And my drink was very watery. I’ve been here before but this place has definitely gone downhill. If you want a good lunch, I recommend hitting up another restaurant on the main strip. I won’t be back.
