Lisa G's

Amazing experience. Made a reservation and arrived 10 mins early. They had us seated and in the requested area as well. The drinks and food were spectacular! Well seasoned and delicious. I had the pepperoni pizza and my wife had the haddock. Both were so flavorful! The fried calamari was also very delicious. Let’s not forget the drinks and the calamari! 5/5!! Would definitely recommend!

The wings were the best I have had which is saying a lot about the wings. Perfectly crisp without being over. The salad was light and refreshing with enough dressing to taste but not drenched in the dressing. The desert was light and airy to add the perfect ending to a delicious dinner . The cocktails was delicious and refreshing.

Awesome drinks and good food. Outside seating by water, tucked a little ways from the main part of Lake Placid so easy to find parking. Also super helpful that they take reservations. They were super kind to us with our dogs making sure they always got water and had a spot to sit outside. The wait staff was attentive. The chicken parm and the chicken sandwich were delicious after a full day of hiking. Will be back next year.

flatbread was OK we got the pepperoni. But the miso, glazed salmon and the chicken Parm were very good. The chicken Parm surprised us with a walnut pesto on top and just added immensely to the flavor. The cocktails were good highly recommend the banana pancake bourbon cocktail that was our favorite and we thought it was better than the Berry bourbon cocktail. Overall, I would go out to eat here again and would highly recommend.

Had such a great time there! We came with our dog, set in the outdoor area, which is beautiful with a great view!! The staff was so friendly, the first thing they did was bring a water bowl for my pup. The food was very good, we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend going!!!!

Cozy little restaurant. Made reservations online for dinner and decided to arrive early and grab a drink at the bar. Our table ended up being ready early so we were seated before our reservation. The server was very friendly and energetic. My husband ordered the fish and fries and I had the goat cheese and blueberry salad with grilled chicken. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My husband really enjoyed how his fish was lightly battered and cooked. Overall exceed expectations and would definitely come back!

We were so impressed by this place. The QR code for food allergies was priceless. Our server Tyler was excellent and took the food allergies seriously. He worked closely with the kitchen and let us know exactly what was safe. The food was also really tasty and used fresh ingredients. Would come back again if we ever travel to lake placid again.

Food was pretty good. We went in mid-February. They seated us on the back deck. Not all of the heaters were on. I asked for it to be turning on and another employee stopped the other employee from turning it on. My feet were frozen by the time we left. Service was great! We would go back again in the warmer months.

Just returned from our 2nd visit this week to Lisa G's. Our server, Maria, was so welcoming and knowledgeable and served us promptly. Food was delicious and the cocktails are awesome! We will continue to eat there whenever we are in Lake Placid. Our favorite place of the many places in this beautiful village! Thanks Lisa G!!!

We drove by this place a few times and every time thought, that place looks like it has some good grub! Well turns out we were wrong... It has some amazing grub! This spot is situated a block or so outside of the hustle and bustle of downtown on a waterfront. The inside was comfortable and low key, your typical pub/watering hole but the food bats above that weight class. We started with delicious lemony Greek wings that came with a whipped feta dipping sauce. Refreshing and divine on a hot day. I then went for the pork enchiladas that came topped with a mole sauce - I am a sucker for mole sauce - and it was delicious. Deep, zesty, chocolatey, everything you want in a mole sauce! We ended with the cinnamon raisin bread pudding which was delicious but begged for a scoop of ice cream rather than whipped cream. This will be a must stop every time we head to Lake Placid.

Great service and food with options for picky eaters or adventurers palettes. It was a busy night with folks traveling in for the solar eclipse but you wouldn't know with how efficient the restaurant ran. I had the fried goat cheese and blueberry salad- very delicious though a little heavily dressed. They had a few dinner and dessert specials as well. If you're looking for a place away from the crowded main street, this is the place to go.

All the staff try their best to cover everyone. They're all amazing! The bar always packed with people! And always has long wait lists, approx 30min. Their menu changing every 3mo/6mo (not sure). They always put their special menu every week. Everything they served is enjoyable!!! Love the vibes, the atmosphere, and the people!

Everything we ate was incredible. Whenever we come to Lake Placid, we will come here and wait for however long we need to wait. It is worth it. This time, we waited 40 minutes. Lisa G's is a very loud and fun spot, and this is not a criticism, but I think anyone reading this review might want to know. It sits near a dam and stream, so if the weather is as nice as it was for us, waiting for your table is a beautiful experience. So why 4 stars vs 5? Our server, who was otherwise wonderful, forgot us twice and we did not get our leftovers as a result. It was packed and very busy which I think was the cause.

Great location and service! The menu was eclectic and tasty. I would highly recommend Lisa gs

I've eaten here twice. The food and drinks are great. Last weekend we were seated immediately but weren't waited on for 30 minutes. We were about to leave when someone finally came to give us water and take our order. After that the service was great, but I was irritated for awhile. Overall a good place, I'd go back.

I was pretty blown away by how beautiful the interior looked at Lisa G's! The service was great and the food and drinks were amazing! We had: + complimentary bread: omg these were so soft and warm and the butter just topped off the wonderful appetizer + Chicken Parm: boy these servings are huge! The pesto on top was a nice touch + Pappardelle: very good, tasted a little sweet from the sauce but cooked well, perfect al dente + Capertif Spritz: delicious and fruity and not too strong of an alcohol taste! Perfect for my taste used because it was so refreshing Our server Tyler was super awesome and made sure we were taken care of

Excellent lunch. We were seated quickly and waited on immediately. I had the Moroccan burrito and my 9 year old son had the Le Burgermeister ... we both loved it. Even the ginger ale was great

Food here was amazing! Came with a large party and ate on the back deck. They remodelled the inside about two year ago or so and did a great job updating it. We ordered a variety of food and everything was great especially the cheese treat we started with. Service was also very good and fast.

Never disappoints! We always visit Lisa G's on our visits to Lake Placid we usually sit outside and love listening the the water run in the creek by the deck. This time we ended up inside a bit loud but a fun vibe. Started with the pork lettuce wraps nice and flavorful! Love how fresh all the ingredients are. I usually opt for one of their specials but this time tried the pork schnitzel which I have not had since I visited Europe back in the 90's and this was amazing loved the German. Potato salad it was served on. My boyfriend had the quinoa salad with chicken such a large portion had a hard time finishing. The Toni Basil drink is wonderful and we finished with a great GF chocolate cake ---save room for the cake!!!!!

The food here is amazing!! I got the Moroccan Burrito. It was to die for!! I'm not vegetarian but it's a delicious option for anyone! The pita was crisp and warm and flavors very fantastic. My partner got Le Burgermeister and it was also great. We didn't order drinks but the drink menu looks yummy too. We have been here twice and sat on the patio each time. The ambiance is lovely outside and you can find a shady or sunny table when there is availability. We did make reservations as we always see tons of cars parked put.

Loved this place! We sat outdoors under the canopy so we could hear the mini waterfall and enjoy the breeze. We ordered a variety of dishes - sandwiches, wings, tacos and salad to share. Food was great, especially the chicken sandwich... it was like a Chick-fil-A deluxe sandwich but better! As an added plus, Lisa G's was dog friendly. Friendly service, good food and great nature ambiance.

We are new to the area and decided to try Lisa G's because of the reviews. Made a reservation for a Saturday night. Plenty of times available. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated immediately . The interior of the restaurant has the vibe of a club where people come to drink Scotch ( couldn't think of a better way to describe). Lots of wood etc. We were greeted by a server almost immediately with water and she offered to answer any questions we had about the menu etc. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the food. My husband had a cocktail called a Tiki Mule which he enjoyed. I chose iced tea which was as expected. We started with the garlic scallion fries with garlic Mayo as an appetizer and they were delicious. We each got a pizza. Apparently they used to have thin crust and the server was quick to tell us their crust had changed in case that affected our choice. I had the pepperoni and my husband had the sausage and pepper which he liked and enjoyed the spiciness of. Mine was excellent too. I don't know about their former crust but this crust was very good. We took home more than half each. We really enjoyed our experience here. Food 9/service10/ ambiance 8

The wings requested "crispy" came rubbery...the hipster crew couldn't be bothered with keeping wings in a fryer? Three stars for an excellent bloody mary that was almost Caesar worthy... complete w olive, pickles, and celery salt rimmer. The wings were a total bummer tho...undercooked. Staff are quite friendly...Will be back and try something else next time. Maybe the most non touristy joint in town....and they like it that way.

The food was incredible! We each enjoyed a dish that we all shared. The dining space was eclectic and warm, family friendly, and comfortable. We would definitely eat there again!

Came here with some friends when we were visiting Lake Placid. This place was packed for dinner and we only were able to get seating inside. It was extremely hot and stuffy inside - I don't think they have AC here. I would of preferred outdoor dining but I think you have to book way in advance for that, especially for a large group. To start, we ordered the Calamari, Moroccan Nachos, and the Sesame Ginger Salad. For my entree I ordered the Skirt Steak. I enjoyed the nachos and the salad. The calamari was okay and my skirt steak was super dry and really tough to chew through - not good :( If you want a really big meal, I suggest getting the chicken parm - my friend got that and it definitely can be 2-3 meals lol. Overall, not too memorable of an experience and the temperature in the restaurant didn't help as we were sweating while eating our dinner. Service was alright but it was also super busy.

If you skip out on this place while in Lake Placid, you're straight up stupid. We love the greek wings - so flavorful with a delicious feta dipping sauce - and the maple bourbon sauce is delightful as well.

Loved the view, the service and the vibe. So glad we found it. After passing by several times we decided to pull in and check it out. So glad that we did even for a short visit. Grabbed a glass of wine (me) and beer (him) plus chips (not homemade) and salsa (homemade). We will be back next time!

Fish and chips were sooooo oily The batter didn't stay put I think they forgot the salt in the meal as well So so so disappointed

I love this restaurant. I only get to Lake Placid once a year but every time I make sure to eat here once or twice. The staff is always helpful and nice. The cocktails are delish. And the food is so good. Anything Mediterranean inspired is my favorite. I had the scallops last time I ate here and they tasted great but the portion was a little small.

We were in Lake Placid over the summer and found Lisa G's though Yelp. We popped in for lunch and had great food and service! We sat in the bar area since the wait for a regular table I was about 35 minutes. Not sure if it's always this crowded but a reservation wouldn't be a bad idea! I ordered the turkey sandwich (T.A.B.L.T) and my husband went with the tacos. One of the best turkey sandwiches I've had. They used thick slices of carved turkey breast (not deli slices). It was really tasty!

The food was the worst. I had ordered Chicken Tenders with Fries and I only ended up eating the Fries because the Chicken Tenders were so gross. The Service was bad as well, the waitress we had came to our table after 10 minutes of being seated. Bathrooms aren't handicap accessible which is not okay. The ambiance was boring too, the worst place I've been too.

Hey this is a gem in the High Peaks area (Saranac Lake to Lake Placid). Food was great, service was quick, friendly, & attentive w/out being annoying. Parking is tricky but hey if you want everything go to NYC and take a taxi! In fact, more people should stay in NYC. We had a party of 6 and had a smattering of everything on the menu. All good & tasty. Interesting atmosphere/ambiance too. Bar looked like fun if we were to go just for drinks. Didn't see any bar-fly's either but we might have been to early for that crowd.

We stopped by Lisa G's for a quick bite since it was within walking distance of our hotel and it was a good choice. The service was good and the place was clean. We ordered the shrimp tacos, lemon pepper wings and maple bourbon wings along with a couple of drinks. The wings were good, especially the maple bourbon ones. Shrimp tacos with the pineapple salsa are really good. Would come back if I'm ever in the area again.

Great food and service at excellent prices. The bacon and blueberry goat cheese pizza really is excellent and they had some interesting IPA's and hefeweizen beer options. Unfortunately the martini was watery - probably left on the bar to too long with the ice melting. The chocolate cake was good. To finish I tried a local bourbon which as good and the shot must have been 3oz, good thing I was walking!

Visited in the Winter time, many of the store was closed, but Lisa G was open. Food was great and service was excellent. One of the best places to eat in this area.

During our visit to Lake Placid we were recommended to try Lisa G's. It was walking distance to our VRBO so we decided to check it out. On a Saturday night at around 7pm there was a 2 hour wait. Wow!! Lucky for us, you can order food in the bar area and we got a spot that fit all 4 of us. I had a mango margarita to drink and it was tasty. Hubby and I split the blueberry bacon pizza and the Greek wings. Both were very good. The chicken thigh pizza and the dry rub chili wings were also good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, though I can't imagine happily waiting for food from any place for 2 hours. Get there early!

We're from New York City and it was our first time visiting Lake Placid. We wanted some really delicious food for lunch and this place fully delivered. The customer service was pleasant. Food was tasty and our fave were the Greek style wings. Highly recommend this restaurant. Don't forget to check out the waterfall/dam!

Out of steak, pork schnitzel, chicken thighs and calamari. Food was okay but when you have to go to your fifth option on the menu what do you expect. Ordered salad with blackened salmon received chicken salad - returned to kitchen. The staff was pleasant but the host recommended the pork schnitzel- why are you recommending what the kitchen does not have. Less than stellar experience for sure.

Stopped here for a yummy lunch! We started by sitting outside with a view of the waterfall. We were chilled so moved onto the porch where it was a bit warmer. We started with chips and salsa. Yum. You'll see a theme here but the salsa was soooo fresh! I had the large basic salad with house vinaigrette and salmon. The salmon had a nice crust on it. The salad has so many healthy fresh veggies, red onion, carrots and cucumber. There was plenty of dark green spinach. My friend had the cod and had the waiter tell the chef it was delicious. Another friend had the lemon Caesar salad with chicken. She said it was a delicious twist in Caesar salad. Great place. Good service. You won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed this place. The setting , atmosphere and vibe was nice. The Calamari was so good! As we're my shrimp tacos! Things I wasn't a huge fan of. 1. 40 minute wait between appetizers and dinner 2. The slaw had way too much mayo in it. All in all it was a good experience and I will revisit

Attractive bar/restaurant. Busy place, had to get on wait line. Booming bar, good draft beers. Lots of workers, good service. Food was plentiful, generous portions. Had chicken wings (maple sugar, good but too sweet for me. Buffalo hot, spicy and tangy more my style), nacho chips with guac (it was store bought commerical chips with side of salsa and guac, meh), shrimp taco (2 big overloaded tacos with breaded shrimp and mango toppings, not bad) and side of commercial potato chips. Store bought chips, I would have let pass but the thing that surprised me was the brussel sprouts. It was sold as brussel sprouts, but in reality it was raw sliced BS in a big bowl of greens, fried potato cubes and bacon. It wasn't a salad and it wasn't a BS dish. BS needs to be cooked to bring out its sweetness and to tenderize it, IMHO. It wasn't. The coup de grace was the whole raw unsliced BS at the bottom of the bowl. Deduction of point for quality control, misuse of a good BS and use of commerical potato and nacho chips as easy/cheap sides to a dish. Relative to the area, it's a good place to go. Since I was on vaca, didn't let my critical self complain about the BS or the chips. As Elsa sang, Let it go Let it go.

Great location. Not so great food To start, this place is packed. I mean PACKED. We had a reservation and it took a good 15 minutes for us to swim through the people to finally tell someone we were present. Pretty wild considering it was a Monday night. I decided to order the wings and the Smack-N-Stack burger. Wait times weren't too bad, given how busy they were. When our food came I decided to try the wings first and unfortunately they felt as if they had been reheated and had sauce put on them. I know dinner time rushes can be a hassle, but wings are one of the easier things to quickly cook and I would've had no problem waiting a little longer for them to be done right. I was excited for the burger as there is nothing quite as enjoyable as a fresh, simple burger. It was piping hot and looked as if it had come right off the grill, but unfortunately it was incredibly dry, almost to the point of being inedible, I was super disappointed because it seemed so promising. Perhaps coming during one of the busier times of the day was a mistake as it definitely felt reflected in the quality of the food. Lisa Gs is always a staple of my lake placid trip, so I will definitely be back. I really do enjoy the location and the fact that they're pretty family friendly. I will definitely looking to see if they can redeem themselves next year.

We enjoyed SUCH an awesome dinner here during our recent visit to Lake Placid. It was our final evening and were looking for something classic and not too touristy - Lisa G's hit the mark. I started with a mango margarita that wasn't overly sweet and absolutely hit the spot after a long day of outdoor fun. We nabbed the greek wings (a must order) that came with a really delicious feta dipping sauce on the side. My date got an absolutely DELICIOUS ribeye that was on special, and I went with the fish n chips. The haddock was fresh and delicious and NOT particularly light - more of a splurge. The ambiance is chic but casual (if that makes sense?) with moody lighting and an "all are welcome" kind of vibe. The bar is decked out beautifully! We saw a bachelorette party there, some locals in for an "off peak time" drink, and families having dinner after a kid's sporting event. A great stop in LP!

Been up to LP several times in the past few years but never came here usually because it was closed. Had the shrimp tacos which were so tasty with the mango salsa. Delicious! Added coleslaw instead of chops for $3-should have been included. IMHO. Mom had the fish and fries which she enjoyed. It was a huge piece of fresh haddock. Service was friendly but didn't refill our drinks. Good menu, challenging street parking but we found a spot. Thank you!

We dined at this place when we first arrived Lake Placid after 5 hours drive. We immediately noticed that restaurants around this place were all so full and we needed to make reservations quite a few days ahead of time. We walked into this place and waited for 40min and finally had our dinner at 9pm. We shared fried calamari: thinly battered, very crispy, nicely done. We had this shrimp and bacon dish I though, forgot the exact name from the menu. Portion of shrimp is quite small. Sea bass tastes great, a little bit undercooked right in the middle. Radish are fine.

Finally some good American food in New York! Everything here was good. So good. Elevated American food that isn't too cheffy, just with perfect cook times and extra touches that really make each dish shine. My partner and I split everything. We are painfully stuffed but we managed because it was all so good. Dry rub chili wings- addictive. Sweet, with some heat, and somehow, I don't know how, they go really well with the provided ranch dressing. Blueberry goat cheese salad. We added grilled chicken. Also in this dish is some sort of sweet pickled onion, I think, crunchy almonds, and high quality greens. Fried fish- like eating a fluffy, well-herbed and seasoned fish cloud. So delicate! Perfectly cooked. Perfect breading that was crispy but not at all hard or soggy. The fries were tasty, too! We finished with a creme brulee, which the waitress was kind enough to put a birthday candle in. She was really nice! Omg so nice! Er, yeah, and the margarita is generous. I got the mango one. I drank the whole thing. I'm gonna lie down now. I'd say I'm gonna think about my life choices after eating so much food, but I have NO REGRETS!

Came here for dinner the day before the Ironman race and it was packed! I ordered the Blueberry and Bacon pizza and it is nothing like I have ever tasted before. It was absolutely amazing! Never thought I would have blueberry in my pizza but its great idea. I also had a ginger beer which was also great. Service was good!

Fantastic meal. I got the pork schnitzel with German potato salad. It was very good, reminded me of my childhood in Ridgewood Queens where every corner had a great German restaurant. My wife got the miso glazed salmon, also very good. Service was also great, love to see staff working as a team, everyone was helping each other at all times. Sit out back if the weather is good, great view of a small water dam.

Lisa Gs was a great choice for dinner when we couldn't manage to get in anywhere else. We're quite glad that was the case because we really enjoyed it here. The ambiance was very cool and upbeat. Our service was very friendly and prompt. We really enjoyed all of the food as well. I thought the calamari was particularly good. We will absolutely come back next time we are in the area.

The staff here is amazing and don't be afraid to be a walk in. Even on Iron Man weekend we were seated quickly and the food comes out fast. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is that the calamari was a little over cooked which with calamari is a no no. The Burata stuffed ravioli with scallops was excellent and the pizza there with Ricotta and mushrooms is also excellent. It's just outside of the main craziness with a waterfall out back and there is plenty of room. I will be going back.

OMG what a find. Fabulous food value for Lake Placid. A wonderful meal served quickly. I had the fish and fries. Not the typical fish and chips at all. Scantily breaded tender haddock with twice as many fries as I could manage. Waiter was fabulous.

If there's a real life equivalent of "Cheers" this is it. Except it has food. Terrific food at tasty prices. Specialty drinks, fine beer selection, and without doubt the best Bloody Mary around. Plus, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the back porch. What more could you ask for, except a flotilla of yellow rubber ducks bobbling over the adjacent waterfall once a year. The folks who work here not only know your name, they remember what you drink and can probably guess what you're going to have for dinner.

We had dinner here. Typical American style food and pub. Had good ratings and was close to our Airbnb. They sat us relatively quickly. We got chicken wings and fish and chips. They were both amazing. It was extremely good for pub food. Buffalo wings with fresh blue cheese on the side. Teriyaki wings with wasabi on the side. Not dry and meaty wings. Well cooked. The fish was fresh. Service was timely and friendly. The place is a bit loud but hey, what do you want it's a pub. Place is clean and is well run. People seemed to enjoy themselves all around the place.

Wings were decent. Steak sandwich was small and the bread they used is just some boring soft hoagie roll from the market. Service and vibe were good. If we go back, I'll probably just grab appetizers and a drink.

We enjoyed this with two teenage boys. A mix of appetizers and sandwiches. Good ambiance, upscale pub

Stopped in for lunch. Started off with pesto calamari, delicious. My husband had shrimp tacos, Yum! I had lemon Caesar salad- very good! Our waiter Conner was awesome, food was very good, great ambiance. Would def return!

Lisa G's was the perfect spot to visit as a group of seven, particularly since we are COVID-conscious and wanted to find a cute dinner spot with spacious outdoor seating. The back patio was stunning, and situated directly on the creek which provides a gorgeous view in the daylight and ambient atmosphere. Our waiter was attentive, patient, and friendly (hi Forest!). He generously gave us recommendations for where to visit during our stay in Lake Placid, and went above and beyond in his table service. I ordered the nachos, and unfortunately wasn't impressed (nachos anywhere can be hit or miss, so maybe this was my miscalculation). My friends had the chicken parm and loved it. I should have ordered the fish and chips, which sounded great -- ah, regrets! Lastly, I highly recommend the "up in smoke" mezcal cocktail. Has a kick of spice & the perfect ratio of flavor.

Omg! The burger and hand cut fries was probably the best burger I have ever had. And I've had a lot of burgers at a lot of different places. The one and only thing that I feel could have really taken it over the top is if they used fresh made burger buns. I mean it was still amazing but that really would give it that extra! Yummy!!!! I would give them 10 stars if I could.
