We had a very nice meal here last Saturday night. The place was pretty crowded, but we were sat right away. Our server greeted us quickly and took our drink orders. Our meals were delivered fairly quickly, the food was prepared correctly, served hot, and were large portions. I had the short ribs with pasta and it was excellent. My wife had the local Adirondack trout which was nicely prepared but a little plain. It took a little too long for us to get our check but all in all it was a great meal.

We ate here our 1st night in Lake Placid and it was great food. Quick service, even though it was very busy. We ate out on the porch overlooking the lake and it was a great way to start our vacation!

My family and I dined here as a group of ten (along with some squabbling babies in tow), and the staff was incredible accommodating. Getting a table at the far side of the restaurant, with perfect views of the lake, felt like winning the lottery.
The menu has a diner-like variety and the food is decent. The burgers were the clear favorite. It was ordered by most of our party, and it’s pretty stacked with veggies, bacon, AND two sausage slices (a random topping, but who’s going to complain about more processed protein? Not me!). Anyone who ordered fries at the table had to endure sharing with those who didn’t because they arrived irresistibly hot and fresh.
A few things fell just a little flat. The mozzarella wrap was a little plain and bland, and someone who ordered the French onion soup ended up scraping most of the cheese layer off, pronouncing it to be just ‘a little too much’. But throughout our meal, service was polite and responsive, making it a great spot to grab a bite in spite of the few meal falls.
The views are likely the best part of dining here, especially if you’re lucky enough to snag a spot closest to the waterfront views. We were too large a group to take advantage, but if you’re a smaller party and the weather’s favorable, I’d definitely ask about getting a seat up on the second floor patio where I’d bet the view of Mirror Lake would be even more stunning.

Great food and friendly service at Black Bear Diner. Cozy cabin-style atmosphere, generous portions, and tasty classic comfort dishes—my pancakes and eggs were perfect. Good value; I’ll definitely return.

Great place to eat when in Lake Placid. The food here is amazing. Their service was excellent! We arrived around 4:00 pm for dinner. We were given a table on the back porch overlooking the lake. Overall great experience!

Have to go off of our two visits. I love this place and always go here. First day I did the ADK Burger and side salad. I have to say it was awesome. The second day I tried the Haddock with side salad and fries. The one side of the haddock was hard and chewy. Just the end. I did not complain or say anything as the rest of it was excellent. I ate it all and I will continue to go here. Obviously we hit up this restaurant two out of the two days we were in town . My wife got the Turkey club sandwich and said it was very good. So good ordered it for both times we went there.

Our first time in lake placid and we came here after a long hike, our family of 5 we asked to be seated outside and they were happy to accommodate us. Our server was very kind that my kids started cleaning the plates and helping clear the table to make it easier for him! Food was good, the fish and chips actually was great it was well seasoned not oily and very nice.

I come to Lake Placid 3 times a year. I am remembered and greeted like family when I come to this restaurant!! Coming here is something I look forward to for that reason! Service is always awesome and the food is great for a quick lunch and even an appetizer and a cocktail mid-day. When you are appreciated and welcomed, even by sight, it makes you want to come back over and over!
