We were looking for a local eatery and found this perfect little store. We sat down at a table with some locals and travelers and had the best time chatting, eating and getting the low down about the place! The company was excellent, but the FOOD!!! All I can say is stop! It is so worth the time to go off the beaten path! You have to get the spinach, mushroom and cheese 2 egg omelet! My word it is amazing! read more

Great little gift shop and breakfast/lunch place. The sandwiches are fresh made by order. Don't forget to try the baked goods . A must one stop shops. read more

Great little family run general store, good breakfast sections, limited seating, good beer selection.

Last bathroom before you hit VT! Very pricey because they can but decent choices. Cute inside. Had fun looking around.

I had the Reuben sandwich and it was amazing!! Piles of falling apart tender corned beef on marbled rye. Can't wait to come again and try the hot turkey sandwich. read more

We stopped in here for lunch after visiting the Natural Stone Bridges and Caves. My wife and I both enjoyed the wrap specials. Very fresh and delicious. Kids had chicken fingers and fries. This place takes pride in what they serve. They have indoor seating as well as covered porch. The service was great. After a pleasant lunch, we shopped the store and picked up some local souvenirs. If your in the area or remotely close, it's worth the stop to eat or shop. read more

Adirondack General Store - the front door - American Near Me - ADIRONDACK, New York

This place is great. It's a general store/restaurant/deli. It has everything you would need for anything.

When is a restaurant not a restaurant? When it's the Adirondack General Store. There are plenty of things to buy that you would expect to find in a general store. But plan on also having something to eat while you're there. There are only about three tables so you may have to share one with others. Seating capacity is probably about 20. But it's one of the nicest ways to meet the locals and new friends. Come here for breakfast or lunch. Now I've never had lunch here so I can't vouch for the various sandwiches made with Boars Head meats, or Oscar's bacon and smoked ham, or the in-house made meatballs. But if they are as well prepared as the breakfasts, then they are not just an excellent value, but they are likely to have you returning every time you visit Adirondack. We were a party of four, before we were asked to share two empty chairs at our table, and were all happy with our meals. My Adirondack Jr. ($5.95) had 1 egg any style, 1 buttermilk pancake (instead of 1 French toast), 1 slice of Oscar's bacon (instead of any other breakfast meat), some home fries, and a choice of toast. A larger version that increases the 1 to 2 of everything is available for $8.95. The highlight of this dish is the Oscar's bacon because it is just sooo goood, but the pancake is light and fluffy, the home fries are tasty, the egg was a perfect over easy, and there was a quarter pound of butter available for the whole table. Real maple syrup is available for an additional $1, but we forgot to order it so I had whatever the non-pure variety might have been. All of it was still very good. My wife had The Spectacle ($7) - a 2 egg frittata with mushrooms, onions, potatoes, and spinach, topped with cheddar cheese. Once again, a larger portion is available with 3 eggs for $8, and meat can also be added for an additional $1.25. My wife said her breakfast was very good also. My sister, a regular here, was happy with having a single Sweet Potato pancake. I don't know what they charged her, but a Short Stack of 2 sweet potato pancakes is available for $4.25 and a Full Stack of 3 is $6. While they do have servers to take you order, you need to pour your own coffee ($2). At least two varieties are available, the dark that I had was rich and bold, just the way I like it. I tasted the Hazelnut also and it was very good. The owners are really friendly people, as is most everyone who comes to the store. Everything is prepared to order, so take them up on their encouragement to relax and chat while there. read more

I was in town for the eclipse and stopped in for lunch. Super cute place with great service! Highly recommend!

My wife and I went to the Adirondack General Store Prime Rib Dinner tonight. First off, the waitress Zoe was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu offerings! I had the Prime Rib dinner and it was to die for! The mashed potatoes that accompanied the Prime Rib were delicious! My wife had the Penne Ala Vodka with shrimp and she absolutely loved it! My wife enjoyed her wine and I enjoyed my Paradox Leaf Peepers IPA. To top the dinner off, the dessert menu was great...we thoroughly enjoyed the Carrot Cake. The owner made the dinner extremely personable by greeting us during our dinner! I highly recommend that you go the Adirondack General Stores Prime Rib night! read more

I have been coming here since I am seven years old. I have watched it change owners many times over and I am happy to say that the current owners are a great fit. They are lively, energetic and fun. This store is exactly what it says; a general store. They carry everything from newspapers to fishing gear, jewerly, clothing, toys for the kids, novel items, books, maps, old fashioned candy, ice cream, and, of course, delicious homemade jams and pies, breads and cakes. In addition to the many things this store offers, it is a quaint adirondack style meeting place for locals as well as newcomers to gather. They have a few tables inside set up for breakfast and lunch, and you will never be dissapointed no matter what you order. They are open year round for the locals and hunters. Cheers and congratulations for doing this so well. It is a gem. read more

How does one travel to The ADK and *not* go here? There's something to say about traveling to a place with people -- a family -- that have been traveling there their entire life, and that something to say is: "I feel lucky. You get to experience the handpicked, finely curated tour of said place." This time around... this place. Sure the old gas pumps and the fact that I'm preparing to eat breakfast in a general store has me gitty; but when I see that open, 6 inch diameter'd bowl of homemade jam on our table, that's when I'm about to give this place the business. This is Cracker Barrel not on chain, banal-driven crack. This is the Holyfield. The Real Deal. This place has stood the test of epochs, and doesn't have to be on a freeway exit. The journey began with "we've gotta take Jon to the general store for The Adirondacker." I went with the Adirondacker Jr. -- the same as its namesake, just one of everything instead of two pancakes, two eggs, two pieces of english muffin / toast and choice of two meats. They happily substituted an egg for my choice of meat. If I ever show my face around this place again, I'm just going to buy a loaf of english muffins to be the applicator of the homemade raspberry jam. In the photo you'll see a oval sticker of "SL." I bought it at the General Store. It's my first Oval sticker. I'm proud. Amongst terrific antique posters, signs, nick-knacks, candles, toys, maps, a deli and odds & ends, there are the classic oval stickers & magnets. Go, memorialize your trip and return again for an ideal breakfast after waking up sore from the hike the day before. read more

Worth the drive to the far side of the lake. Multiple family members said this was the best pulled pork sandwich we've ever had. It was amazing. The Reuben was also fantastic Cute seating area across the street. Also a nice drive to nap the kids and grab lunch. read more

Owners are especially friendly to locals, mainly the Schroon Lake Homeowners. I've always thought they're talkative and outgoing. Their deli is a little pricey, but great quality. They load up their hoagies with a ton of meat, and their roasted reds turn a regular Italian mix into something special. Many a boating trip's lunches were crafted by this place. Breakfast has always been good, but I'm not a big traditional-American-breakfast food guy. I used to get their pancakes and eggs back in the day... read more

Under new ownership & dinner is now served fri & sat All 4 of us had the special: Prime rib which was excellent! Size comparable to a queen cut for $21.95 choice of baked potatoe or fries & vegetable medley. They do not take reservations but if you call they'll give you an idea of the wait if any. Waitress was very nice & attentive. For you locals, same ownership as Lanies in Loudonville. Following day took out lunch-grab the corn beef Reuben for sure though I should've called ahead w my order. Place is arranged much better in terms of seating & shopping more spread out. read more

I have been coming to schroon lake since I was 5 years old. I am now 45 and have seen the general store change hands 5 or so times. The people who own it now are very rude in my opinion. They sneer at me... treat my kids as if they are criminals. The owner actually picked a fight with my 8 year old son after he asked to see a souvenir and then decided he didn't want to buy it. They guy was really ticked off and told my son off! I was in shock... who treats kids this way? I will not spend another dollar there until these owners leave. The guy who owns the store is especially rude. His wife seems friendly but he just makes it unbearable. The store is for sale and i pray the new owners actually like people! read more

Been going here since I was kid and I've always loved the very homey Adirondack feel to the store. I've always enjoyed their breakfast, especially after paddling 3.5 miles to the store. Really hoping it continues as the Adirondack General Store when sold. This is a staple to the Schroon Lake Region. You can most always find some kind of trinket or something that makes a perfect gift for most occasions. read more

Cute little place that offers a bit of everything. Groceries, wine, beer, souvenirs, camping supplies and all with a small restaurant inside, and I mean small. That is not a criticism. Quaint, very charming, very friendly people. Had a deli sandwich and wandered the store while waiting. The server came out to find me to ask me if I wanted a pickle, which I did. I hope this throwback little store never closes. I always look for it on trips out from Wisconsin. Love it. read more

Went here again for breakfast, had the Adirondacker which was good. Coffee however tasted like water. Owner was friendlier. Best breakfast in the south part of the lake. read more

We went here today and it was closed. Although it was an beautiful drive and the outside looked really interesting, we were hungry and now disappointed as the signs along the way said "open" and yelp said "open year round". It was a good hike off 87 so my advice is to call ahead. read more

Under new management since May, 2014 (I think); nothing has really changed, which is a good thing. It's still the same quaint, eclectic store with a new, and still friendly, staff, serving excellent breakfast and lunch fare. read more

We just had a delicious breakfast at the Adirondack General Store. The store is lovely and boasts a great selection of crafts, home prepared jams and jellies and more practical homemade items like mittens, gloves lotions and soaps. There is even a selection of grocery items. Best of all though is the food and the never ending cup of excellent coffee. read more

Live within a few miles of the store. Owners are so pleasant and food is great and you can get everyone need. Highly recommended

The cinnamon sugar donuts on the weekend at the Adirondack General Store are BEYOND amazing!! A highlight of my weekend at the lake every visit!!!! read more

A great stop over while making the loop around Schroon Lake. Good lunch everytime I've stopped by. Specialty items are are sometimes real finds! read more

Robert and Maureen and children excellent customer service. They never disappoint when it comes to good hospitality. Hailing from downstate you'd be surprised on how nice the really are. They also offer gluten-free bread and options for those that are health-conscious and soul food for those who just want to let it out a little bit while on break. It's amazing how the general store has maintained its charm over the last 40 years. The wood still creeks same way as it did back in the 80s. read more

Love this general store! Great breakfast! Friendly People! A great Adirondack tradition continues.... .... Lots of goodies to browse through from souvenirs to informative books. All the food you need to buy at a neighborhood store. Since Granddad found Brant Lake in the 1930's my family has spent wonderful summers in the Adirondack mountains. Mom and Dad settled at the lake after retirement. Grandkids camp was a tradition. Now my husband and I will spend the warm months here and create a legacy for our grandkids. We will visit often for breakfast and conversation. read more

Love this place. A local gem. We get the sweet potato pancakes every year when we come up. Yeah, the coffee could be better, but once you try those pancakes you'll be sold. Friendly staff, great local flavor. Worth the occasional wait for one of their few tables. read more
