This is a great place to watch a game. They have a reasonable selection of beers and the overall pricing is not bad. Service is always great and the atmosphere is also good. I always regret getting an appetizer, it is just way too much food.

Everything about this restaurant—the food, service, and atmosphere—is exceptional! It has been a favorite spot in Lake Placid for many years. A special shoutout to kitchen supervisor Luis for his politeness and professionalism. We ordered fish tacos for a special dinner and couldn’t stop thinking about them for weeks, so we had to come back for our favorite fish tacos and quesadilla! The staff is fantastic. Thank you, Luis!

My finance and I came here for dinner after a trip on the mountain. We got there just in time, because shortly after getting seated there seemed to be a waitlist because many people were approaching the bar to get drinks while they wait for their table. Our server was very kind and attentive. We got the brussel sprouts and Swedish meatballs as an appetizer which were absolutely immaculate, especially the Swedish meatballs; and for our entree, we decided to get the BBQ chicken pizza (no onion, added bacon) to share, which was clearly baked fresh in house. With the food being phenomenal and the cozy ambiance, we will most definitely be returning.

I spent 2 weeks in Lake Placid and stayed at the High Peaks Resort. I ate almost everyday at the Dancing Bears Restaurant. I think I've had at least 70% of their menu and the food was great. I must say though, the breakfast sausages were sooooo good. I could eat pans of them. I ordered them for dinner a couple times too. The kitchen was accommodating and I really appreciated that. And for being a resort town, the price to food portion and quality is quite palatable. The staff are such kind people (and good looking too). I enjoyed hearing their stories. They even know when I've had a tougher morning tham usual and immediately brought me coffee.

Incredible service, extremely delicious/filling food and amazing drinks! Definitely recommend everyone come here. Even great for families. They play kids shows and ask you what you want to watch. Good pricing as well.

A good restaurant decorated in typical Adirondack style. We came here for brunch and were suitably impressed. The flapjacks are fluffy and light and the steak tip with biscuit and black pepper sauce was fantastic! Good selection of breakfast and brunch items, as well as for lunch and dinner. Also good selection of draft on tap from local breweries. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

We go here frequently and the food is always good. We stayed at the High Peak Resort and order it to go both nights. I got the fish once, buffalo pizza, fried Oreos and pulled pork sandwich.
