By far, most of the food we’ve had in the Lake Placid area has been pretty disappointing… but this place finally restored our hope!
We stopped at another breakfast spot first and they told us it was a 50-minute wait for fried eggs and potatoes. Hard pass.
So we walked over here, saw it was open and looked nice inside, and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! The service was great, the breakfast was delicious, and best of all, we didn’t have to wait forever for our eggs.
Definitely a solid spot!

Nice place. Wanted a small serving meal and this was a good choice. I got the Blackened shrimp taco but unfortunately it wasn’t blackened!? Server was gray atmosphere was good. Have a 4 overall for not blackening the shrimp.

Nice bar and grill on the main drag of lake placid. We stop by regularly every time we are visiting lake placid.
The foods are standard bar and grill offerings but with a nice touch. They do update their menu new offerings once a while.
The location and view are great, you over look at the mirror lake and can people watch the pedestrians hanging out in downtown lake placid.
The servers are always super friendly and fun. We love it much better than the black bears across the street. 😀

We ordered room service from here as we were staying in the hotel the restaurant is connected to. The food came very fast and the gentleman delivering it was very nice. However the food was incredibly underwhelming especially for the price. I had the gnocchi which was overcooked that it was basically like mashed potatoes. I will say the taste wasn’t too bad but the texture was just too off putting. My partner had the Korean Tacos which were actually pretty good. The food wasn’t awful but it also wasn’t great, especially not for how much it costs. Eating in the actual restaurant might be a better experience.

I have been to this restaurant twice on this trip. I am in the restaurant business, so I tend to be hyper-judgmental. Everything was awesome!! Food came out quickly and well-plated, despite being busy. HUGE shout out for the staff here. Amy is a server I would hire instantly, and Matt and Jody were amazing too. Honestly, even if the food at a restaurant is good, if the service is bad I just won’t go back. Amy and Matt have single handedly ensured I will be back over and over again, if only to see them and know I will leave happier than when I came in!! They know their job well, very accommodating, and know how to ‘read’ customers to elevate the experience.

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!

Great place for Brunch. The Menu has several options but most based on eggs as the protein. There are 4 different salads where you can add a steak/chicken/shrimp or Salmon for extrat $. There were 2 options based on smoked salmon/lox but when we were there they didn’t have either for 3 days on a row. The service is good, the ambiance is great. Even considering the issues it is one of the best options in the area.

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.

The place is centrally located by Mirror Lake and on the Main Street. Beautiful rustic decor and has a bar inside it as well.
The food was good and brought soon after placing the order. Our server Carlos was amazing. Very courteous and eloquent and nice. We could see the mountain and lakes from our table.
The older lady at the bar whereas, was rude. All she did was stay at the bar upset and complaining (murmuring out loud) about how she hates the place, hates the bar etc etc. when we asked for help she was rude & literally yelling.
Other than that, the food is something can bring you back.
