Alpine Grille

Driven by this place SO many times but made a trip with a plan to stop. Just the coziest restaurant you’d expect in a small Adirondack town. But the food? Absolutely amazing! And the prices? We couldn’t believe it so we left an extra tip. Great options and we can’t wait to go back again!

Highly recommend Alpine if you’re passing through the area! It’s a bit on the pricey size, looking at $25 per person without an appetizer, but it really comes down to what your order. The place is clean, but very hard to get a reservation. I recommend a few days in advance especially in the winter. Highly recommend the garlic scallion steamed clams, they are one of the bests appetizers I’ve eaten in my life. Overall, service was nice and fast! Going once with friends we forgot to split the check, but the waitress was more than willing to help sort things out. Personally preference, but I really love when places start you with a glass of water so that was an excellent touch. It you haven’t yet, try this place out! The picture is of the shrimp Alfredo penne, which was a solid 8.5/10

Amazing food, generous portions, hilarious and friendly staff, tons of drinks to choose from, and the best mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life! This place is fantastic!

This place was absolutely awesome! I can’t believe how extensive their menu is- and on top of that there were nightly specials and an incredible selection of drinks. The effort that goes into having a selection like this is one thing- but to also put out excellent food is yet another. We were blown away by the quality, taste, and speed at which the food came out. In addition, it was a Saturday night and they were busy. For me specifically, I also really appreciated that they had a nice wine list. The owners of this place have truly thought of everything with the intent to please everyone. We had the osso bucco special and the prime rib. Both were fantastic- and for the prices I have no idea how they put out this quality and quantity.

We drove one and a half hours to experience this restaurant. The food was phenomenal! The service was very exceptional! Will definitely be returning in the future.

Great food, from bread to soups to salads to entrees to desserts. We will be back! Like some other restaurants in the area, check what days they are open.

Easily the best plate of steamers I've ever had. The steak was fresh, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Pam was friendly and made our meals more enjoyable with a few suggestions. A clean restaurant with a slightly upscale atmosphere. Reservations are encouraged.

Fantastic experience at Alpine Grille! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Everything from the service to the presentation exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend!

Whenever we're up at our cabin, a trip to The Alpine Grill is practically tradition. The food is always solid--ranging from good to why-did-I-order-anything-else-last-time levels of excellent. The menu is impressively deep for a small-town, family-owned spot--think juicy prime rib one night and fresh seafood the next. Now, fair warning: service can move at a mountain pace--so settle in, order a drink, and enjoy the chance to actually talk to the people you came with. (Remember conversation? It's making a comeback.) Pro tip: make reservations. This place fills up fast, and even the bar seats are usually spoken for. But once you're in, it's the kind of cozy, welcoming local gem that keeps you coming back--every single trip.

We came in late on a Sunday after realizing that all the restaurants near us were closed (despite marketing themselves as open - I digress). The restaurant was PACKED. The bar was full, and the food was looking and smelling delicious. We were seated fairly quickly, despite the mayhem. We were given warm bread and butter to start, but we also shared garlic scallion clams. The clams were warm, buttery, and super garlicky. And the bread was great to dip into the extra sauce! I ordered the French onion soup, which was packed with cheese and had a great broth. My Husband got soup with his entree, and he got the soup of the day which happened to be corn chowder. The chowder was super thick and had lots of veggies. He said it was delicious. My Husband got the Delmonico steak as his entree, which came with a twice baked potato and veggies. The steak was cooked perfectly and was smothered with mushrooms and onions. I had entree envy. I got the open faced roast beef with fries. My roast beef was thinly sliced and piled up on top of a toast slice. My fries and beef were drowned in gravy - just the way I like it. Overall, we had a great dinner. Our server was nice and extremely attentive even though she was running around to everyone! This was great restaurant, and if I were local I would be a regular.

Great place for specialized coffee and sandwiches. Dependably good but basic breakfasts! Recommend.

Nice atmosphere. Lousy New York strip and very slow service. I could not recommend this place. We spent $40 per person and it did not meet expectations.

My sister and my friend Cristen took me to the Alpine for dinner. Honestly some of the best food I've ever eaten. For real !!! I had calamari, which I was SURE I wasn't gonna like, The only thing wrong with it was that I wanted more!! I ordered the French Onion Soup, the Onion Soup bowl and Coconut Shrimp . I saved the sauce in a little container so I could dip my veggies into it!!! I've been wanting to try the Chocolate Chip Cannoli for YEARS, and they were absolutely amazing !!

Very cool place and great view. Drinks and food are very good. Can't wait to go there again. The waitress had a great attitude and very helpful.

Great food and a large menu. They had several unusual menu items which were delicious- the pea soup and the duck with cranberry preserves were wonderful. We were vacationing in the area and came here for my daughter's birthday after seeing it was #1 on Yelp for the area. Our server went out of her way to bring our little girl a pink birthday candle and lighter for her dessert. She was kind to us and knowledgeable about the menu. No real gluten or dairy free options but they tried hard to accommodate our restrictive (annoying) diet without fuss and were able to make some great substitutes or omissions. We'll probably go again before leaving the area!

The food is wonderful at the Alpine Grille. They are very friendly and great service

My second time here. Absolutely love this place. Atmosphere is very nostalgic and the bar is great. Bartender was super cool. Food is amazing and the portions are huge. Service is incredible. Highly recommend.

The food is some of the best I have ever had! The NY strip and scallops are to die for! The service was fast and friendly. And the rustic feel of the place is true Adirondacks! I will most certainly be returning!

Excellent prime rib , service was wonderful ! Staff all around was great ! The cannoli is a must !! To full I suggest you get to go !!!

What a great restaurant to find in the southern Adirondacks. Very well prepared food in extremely friendly atmosphere. The locals are obviously thrilled with this place for a good reason. Go and enjoy!

So after reading all the reviews on the different platforms (Yelp, Trip advisor, Google ETC) my wife and I chose to drive the hour from Lake Luzerne to have dinner. Let me tell you, we will be back. Yes it was an hour ride but a gorgeous ride it was around the lake. Taking in the what nature has to offer it was a great ride. Now to the restaurant, reservations are a must as they book out quickly. That is for good reason. The staff there could not have been nicer and any more accommodating. Thank you. As for the food. Well I had to order two dinners because I could make up my mind. The king cut prime rib was outstanding however the chicken Marsala was even better. We ended up having enough food for left overs two more nights. PS all that food and it didn't cost us a "leg". Awesome place and great to hear they are open all year long.

I frequent The Alpine since I live very close. the food is delicious, the atmosphere is friendly. People comment about the outside appearance. I think it looks fine. what don't look fine is the old sign by the road. A new updated sign that says TheAlpine is all that is needed. Chad,Jean and the staff are all friendly and attentive. Try it you'll like it.

I had an amazing time, their food is good, but also really giant burgers. The service was amazing too! Our server was really nice and overall it was a great experience with the server. The ambiance was good with the music playing the background (wayward son was my favorite one that played). Warm environment as well. 8/10

Smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Open Thursday through Sunday and Wednesday's in July and August. You will be pleasantly surprised on how well the food is cooked. Lots of good comfort foods, excellent seafood and Generous cuts steaks. This trip I started with a buffalo shrimp appetizer, salad with homemade horseradish dressing and a broiled seafood player that had large portions of fish, shrimp, scallops and clams. The rest of my table had a pork schnitzel and steaks. Give it a try

The food was amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Portions were hefty and recommend, reservations.

Our meals were fantastic. The Brandy Bleu Strip Steak was phenomenal. The Oven Roasted Prime Rib was great, too. Both were cooked to perfection. The Pork Schnitzel was perfectly crispy and delicious. The Seafood Newburg was great, as well.

Amble portions and food was great! I had parmigiana encrusted salmon and my partner had the duck . The homemade apple pie a la mode was warm and delicious. We will come again. A wonderful surprise 1/2 hour from our cabin. Make reservations- it's worth it

The Alpine is the best food in the Southern Adirondacks. It's locally owned and you can't go wrong with any item on the menu.

Great food and wonderful service. We made a reservation and had no problems with our service. The waitress was attentive and even went the extra mile when we had someone show up part way through our meal. Another local hidden gem. From the outside I never would have expected such a good dining experience. We will definitely go back.

This nondescript roadhouse on an isolated stretch of Rte. 30 between Northville and Wells has no business being so enjoyable. There was a boisterous crowd the cold Friday night we stopped by for dinner. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and why not, in a place that turns out really good steaks, salads and local brews on tap.

One of the best restaurants & food in the entire Adirondack Park. Well worth the drive from anywhere.

Wow! We were quite surprised and so happy to have found this GEM of a place. We were visiting Lake George and traveled around the area. Yes its a bit far away about 1 hour drives but the scenery is amazing. The drive was worth it for the fabulous food. The service was excellent.

Don't judge a restaurant by its location or outside appearance. Delicious food. Shocking variety for a middle of no where location. Consistently the friendliest restaurant I have been to.

Excellent meal, best one I had in a week! Friendly staff and fair prices.

I I highly recommend the Alpine Grill. It is the best restaurant I have been to in the area. I have had a dozen items on the menu and they have all been excellent. Steaks, fish, clams, bone-in wings and boneless wings are all cooked perfectly. Wing flavors are great and all sauces/flavors are delicious. The burgers and wings are usually what my family orders and the selection is excellent. The restaurant is a family run establishment and they provided friendly and quick service. Beer and drink prices are good. The only item I have had which has been inconsistent are the fries. A couple of times they were cooked too long and I find the sweet potato fries a little soggy but I haven't ever found a sweet potato fry to ever be perfect for me anywhere. If you are traveling on route 30 stop by and try the Alpine Grill.

Classy but casual place with reasonable prices. We are regulars and never disappointed. From the outside you wouldn't expect such great food and service. In the middle of nowhere but worth checking out if you're in the area. Beautiful scenery

What a joy! People, food and service were great. Worth a few extra miles. I highly recommend! Keep up the good work.

Had a party of 12. Everyone got served at the same time no mistakes and very quick. Great food.

It's a blink and you'll miss it place, and you will be sad if you do. The food is absolutely lovely and the staff are excellent. Such a wonderful experience!

This small town mom and pops restaurant has the best food and service! Amazing staff and as a certified person Le Cordon Bleu culinary professional I find the food above standard! Amazing experience sums up with amazing food and service!

Chad! Thank you for catering my brother's co-ed I Do BBQ shower! The food was DELICIOUS and we couldn't have been more pleased! We got to sit back and enjoy the shower while you took care of the hard part. And there was SO MUCH food! We can't thank you enough!

I have eaten there 4x now and each time the food was great. The staff is very attentive and courteous. Can't wait to go back. Also the clientele is friendly.

Had the pork chops. Possibly the best item in the menu. Two huge chops. I rarely can't finish my meal, but half a chop came home with me!!!!

Food is amazing. Beer is sometimes flat due to their limited hours/days open.

Excellent meal, service and atmosphere. Worth the drive! We will be returning every trip we make to the adirondacks.

There is a reason this place is always busy! We have eaten at the Alpine many, many times and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious, plentiful and fairly priced. The atmosphere is nice. The servers are excellent. What more can you ask for? I often order the steak salad and the steak is actually a tender,flavorful piece of meat- not chewy cardboard that is often used on a salad. Have also ordered the Alpine Haddock; also delicious. Extensive menu and it is all good. If you're near Wells or Northville, stop at the Alpine. You won't regret it!

My family has been going to the Alpine for 10 years it has been under new management the last few years and we find the dining experience extraordinary we really enjoyed the service staff Denise is so special

This is my second time back at the Alpine Grille, and it just keeps getting better. First of all, we came in on a very busy thursday in heavy rain with a group of twelve, including two children, and only called twenty minutes ahead of time. No problem, they put us up in the back room. We came in and the bar was full of locals, regulars, and a few waterlogged tourists. The bar was lively along with the full house of small tables and a guitarist with a lovely voice singing her heart out for the people to a rousing applause every song. We were seated quickly, especially for getting the twelve top ready. This place gets the review it does for begin unpretentious, friendly, very good for the money and delicious. I had the french onion soup here, and it was exactly what every cooking school should teach to replicate. Then I had the 16oz blackened ribeye, served black and blue, with a blue cheese brandy cream sauce. It was orgasmically face-melting. And it was $25. In any major metro, you would never find anything this good for less than $70. The beers kept coming, and the staff was great with the rambunctious kids. Please never go to the Alpine Grille so that I can keep getting seated with twelve people on a crowded night twenty minutes ahead of time.

We found ourselves arriving in Wells right at dinnertime and clueless as to where to eat. We asked two local people who both said, "The Alpine", so we went. Happy we did! At 6:30 on a Saturday night in July the place was almost fully packed but thankfully they could seat us right away. We enjoyed watching a steady stream of people fill up the restaurant and the atmosphere was fun and friendly. The staff was so nice and very good. The food was great. Very pleased.

As the former editor of an inflight magazine I've had the privilege of dining at some of the nation's best restaurants and I am thoroughly impressed with this hidden gem. The diverse menu offers something for everyone. My husband and I stop here every time we visit the North Country and we always marvel at the quality. Steaks and chops are a specialty but the scallops are absolute perfection and my personal favorite. This is definitely a local haunt; the bar is always crowded. The attentive and knowledgable waitstaff know the regulars by name and preferences but the food is what sets this restaurant apart. The only caveat---portions are huge. I'd venture that the Alpine delivers America's best value meal. Really fine cuisine at a fraction of what one would expect in even a mid-size market. Visitors to this "neck of the woods" should make the Alpine a priority.
