The vibe is very cozy, and the lighting is nice, with little candles on the tables and the overhead lights dim. The view of the lake is the perfect backdrop for an excellent meal! The food here is phenomenal. I cannot say enough good things about the brisket burnt end entree. It is insane, ordered it two nights in a row. We also had the smoked chicken bbq nachos, the pork belly cinnamon roll, and the smoked reuben, they were all excellent! The cranberry maragarita is also super tasty. The portions of everything are huge! Every waitress we’ve had there has been very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely will be back!

Great place and very good food! I had a small plate with brisket, potato and cheese. It was a little bit too greasy for because the potato was deep fried and the brisket already had the natural fat, so this plate would be a lot better and lighter to the taste if the potato was boiled or baked (the oil from the brisket would be more “clean”). I personally don’t like competition with grease/oil
with meat in my plate. My husband had the sandwich and it was good. Good cheesecake ❤️.

Reservations recommended. Absolutely delicious dishes. I had to order the brisket as it’s their signature dish and it was a HUGE portion. The photos really don’t do the size justice and I couldn’t finish the plate. The wings are also really tasty and the ghost pepper hot bbq has the perfect amount of kick.

Loved this place! It had a great atmosphere. Low lighting and the smell of good food.The food was so good and plenty. My girlfriend and I had enough to keep for leftovers. Went on a friday night during Thanksgiving season. The wait was about 45 minutes. Had the bbq nachos and brisket mash special that they were serving. I can just picture my dinner when thinking about this place. Will go back again. Best dinner had in the Lake Placid area!

It was incredible via DoorDash and even better in the restaurant! I got the brisket dip and we ordered the Brussels sprout appetizer and they were both incredibly hot, fresh, and perfection. This place will definitely be our go to whenever we’re in Lake Placid

We decided to try this place because it had the highest ratings in town. While the food wasn’t bad, it honestly didn’t live up to the hype. It felt more like a “view-first” restaurant — the kind of place that gets attention more for the scenery than the actual dining experience.
Our server was lovely — warm and friendly, which we really appreciated. But the experience took a turn when the outdoor heater suddenly turned off on a chilly, windy day. A man (possibly a staff member or manager) came over to change the gas for the table next to us. When we politely asked about ours, he responded curtly, saying, “We don’t have that much gas!” in a very rude tone. His attitude was cold and dismissive the entire time — walking around with a scowl, making it uncomfortable for guests who came to enjoy a meal.
The wings were tasty, and the brisket came in a huge portion — Honestly, it might be better to reduce the portion a bit and offer a more reasonable price. (It was $42) The side dishes, like the coleslaw and apple slaw, were just ok nothing special — and honestly felt a bit poorly prepped. The vegetables felt like they’d been chopped in a rush — roughly prepped, and the red onions especially stood out — huge, uneven chunks that felt like they were just hastily chopped and tossed in. The mac and cheese was also quite heavy and lacked finesse.
Service was very slow, possibly due to being short-staffed — it took quite a while just to get our check. And speaking of the check, seeing a pre-suggested 30% tip on the receipt was a bit off-putting, especially after such a mixed experience.
Overall, without the view, I’m not sure this restaurant would have the same reputation. A lot of potential, but the hospitality and execution need improvement to justify the hype.

Tons of gluten free options. Wait staff was super helpful, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Parking in the area can be tough, but the resteraunt has great vibes, and is right on the lake for when it gets nicer out.
I got the brisket with mashed potatoes and Cole slaw and it was AMAZING (and big portions). Two improvements they could make: have a squeeze bottle of BBQ sauce on the table, and chop the red onions smaller in the Cole slaw.

Absolutely our favorite restaurant in Lake Placid. Everything was perfect. The food was tasty and delicious. Ribs were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Can’t wait to get back there again.

Wow! The food was breathtaking. The ribs, the chicken, veggies, and corn bread and biscuits were perfect. This place had the BEST ribs that I have ever had, and that is hands down. I will be back to LAKE PLACID next time with my family, this time was for business. The first place that I am going to eat at is Smoke Signals. I rate this place a perfect 10!

Honestly it was absolutely amazing. I have eaten a lot of wings in my lifetime and these are the best I have every had.
Smoked with the house bbq
Just wow.
Got the nachos with pulled pork. Those were delicious as well. The service was excellent. Absolutely top notch place. The prices seem steep but after eating the food i was happy to pay them.
The whole place was amazing. Absolutely beautiful and had a great view. Very nice outdoor seating area , we did not get to use it because it was cold and raining but next time I am in town I certainly will try.
I would have to call this a “must stop” place in lake placid.
