It’s like stepping back in time. I’ve been going through Lake George since I was a child 50+ years ago and never stopped here because it was either closed or just too crowded. Worked out just right today, Colleen the waitress greeted me as I walked through the door Could not have been nicer and more patient with my thousand questions and she was a very efficient waitress, and Adirondack slam was just top notch

Another stop and another great surprise. We had ear marked a place closer to the house but had decide to travel on as we went to Ausable. We found this place in lake George and we were not disappointed. We had a variety of items including eggs with ham and toast, hash and eggs, waffles and pancake. The pancakes were the biggest surprise to me as they had some cornmeal in there which made me think of good ol Johnny cakes. I had the chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious. All of our food was delicious in fact. Our waitress Sara was very nice and attentive to us and we will be stopping again when we come back to the area. If you are looking for a quality breakfast that is not frilly but delicious, then you know where to go. Tell em Vin Vin sent you. I'm tryna see something. Deuecs, Vin Vin

I have driven by for so many years. Today I decided to stop. It's a charming page from yesteryear. Service was great, and the food was super. I ordered the fried haddock sandwich and could only manage half. French friens could have been a bit crispier. I'm not sure if they serve dessert, my waiter brought the check over before asking if I'd be interested. Which was too bad.

Loved it! We bought the pure Maple syrup as little extra touch the breakfast was spectacular! Awesome waitress on a very busy weekend. Definitely going back when we visit. The street right next to the restaurant takes you to Prospect Mountains. Don't miss that!
