20 Best American Restaurants in Lake George

“A trip to Lake George is not complete without a jaunt out onto the lake on one of the 3 famous steamboats. Our trip was on the Lac du Saint Sacrement which featured several observation desks as well as an entertainment hall where passengers can enjoy live music and dancing! With plenty of local history provided by the tour guides and captain and scenic views of the shorelines and surrounding mountains, the Lake George Steamboat Company is a must visit! Thanks!“

“A gem of a restaurant that is chef-owned and run…and the food and service demonstrates the entire staff’s commitment to excellence.The food and drinks are outstanding.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking, entry and interior navigation. No steps.“

“Couldnt give a 5 due to the noise making it difficult to have a conversation as the tables filled.Some sound baffles would do wonders, mike, from chris and jays fam.Boneless wings, medium were tasty, not too hot and plentiful, potstickers were a must order. Very tasty, and all food was hot.Freshly brewed decaf with a shot of baileys (comped after spilling coffee all over the table and a little on hubs pants, so kudos)I couldnt drink the full drink but walked out with the remainder in a to go cup.That solo waitress was a busy woman, and worth a hefty tip. A Christmas eve delight.“

So does my mother and she’s a stickler . We love Corrina at the bar too?Hands down best restaurant for the pallet and pocket believe it…..“

Even from the first interaction with booking the reservation, everything was exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food was outstanding! Our server Shae was tentative and polite. He really made sure we got a memorable experience. To top everything off the Head Chef (John) came out to greet us and make sure the food was to our liking! Such a unique and exquisite change in pace compared to most dining experiences. I will be telling everyone I know how great this experience was. My son made quick friends with Marie as well. Overall, a great time and atmosphere.“

“I was searching for a place to have lunch on top of the water, and found this gem. A golf course! Beautiful scenery. Food was great. Very fresh and some added flavors to make this spot a little different. The pretzel bits are great, with the maple mustard..yumm.I was also told the best view was from the 10th hole...it sure was breathtaking. I would go eat there again for lunch and for a stroll.“

“Very nice American food place right off the Lake George village main road. Pleasant waitresses and great food. Took a bit long to get our food but it was worth it in the end. I got a buffalo chicken salad with a side of fries and both were absolutely delicious. Fries could have been a little saltier and crispier but nothing that a little sprinkle of sauce and some Ketchup won’t fix.Parking: There is a $10 parking lot right next to it.“
