The food was excellent. Fast, hot, and tasty, with plenty of options for hungry travelers. Highly recommend the patty melt and the Reuben, for those so inclined. Probably the best part was the service. We had the same server on both visits, who remembered us and asked after our travels. Tommilynn was super friendly and efficient, and made our visit a joy.

I cannot tell you how proud I am we made it in; backstory is, I had a crew of weary travelers (to…read moretheir credit, less picky and more fun than most adults) and we were three hours into our six-hour road trip. I had to add that extra hour from Stowe, taking a little detour on our own covered bridge tour through Vermont. Needless to say, they were starving. This place went way beyond roadside pit-stop expectations, and when you're trying to pinpoint something on your journey back while keeping the directions up and a car full of kids happy using their 'creative' navigation skills, things can get hairy. I maintain to this day that these were the best chicken bites I've ever had, accompanied by the best garlic parm sauce I've ever had on chicken bites. That wasn't even my order, but I have a group of foodies so I trust their judgment on menu items, too. They're easy to please with a pizza for three, to start; my daughter really enjoyed her Caesar salad and the turkey apple melt was pretty solid, I just couldn't finish it after picking around the table. Oh, and those onion rings were as good as they look, GBD (golden brown and delicious).

I was STARVING and we drove from Killington all the way over here to go somewhere else- but that…read moresomewhere else was closed and I think it was for a reason. This place is darn good! The regulars are obvious, and that's a good thing in my book. At the end of my meal even I felt like family. We were in for a veggie omelet (ordered by the bf because he saw someone else's) and a breakfast sandwich (w ham and a hash brown!) both delicious. I had to take a corn muffin to go because I knew I'd be craving some more by the time I got home. The corn muffin didn't even last an hour. I took one bite as soon as we got back in the car. And then devoured half by thirty mins into the drive, really trying to exhibit willpower. Needless to say, it was gone within the hour and we had three more to go before we reached home. Give this place a try if you want good food, good company, and none of the frilly stuff- and some excellent muffins! Oh my god and I almost forgot the coffee delicious, hot, and always fresh!

Most Americans generally associate slow-cooked, wood-smoked meat with the southern regions of these…read moreUnited States. Finding respectable barbecue in upstate New York requires a slight adjustment of geographic expectations. The Gem, located in Bolton Landing, attempts this feat with a wood-fired smoker and an ambitious cocktail program. My wife ordered the smoked chicken wings and a side salad. The wings possessed a deep smoky flavor and properly rendered skin. The salad performed its minimal duties without incident. My youngest son consumed the kids cheese fries. They were sufficient to satisfy an 11 year old's palate, though underwhelming when subjected to adult inspection. I selected the brisket, which spent hours absorbing hardwood smoke. The flavor was rich and beefy, though the cut was somewhat leaner than I prefer. In my experience, truly magnificent brisket requires a generous layer of rendered fat to achieve complete structural tenderness. This was good, but it was not that. The genuine masterpiece at our table belonged to my oldest son, who ordered the pulled pork. It was moist, tender, and properly seasoned. I found myself eyeing his plate with the quiet envy of a father who made the wrong selection at the counter. To assist with the meat, the establishment places four distinct sauces at every table: Texas Red, Carolina Copper, Georgia Mustard, and Alabama White. Experimenting with all four is an enjoyable exercise in flavor chemistry. The bar produces some of the finest craft cocktails in Bolton Landing, maybe in the entire Lake George region. The drinks are mixed with intelligence and high-quality spirits, which helps soothe the human nervous system after a long day in the sun. The primary defect of The Gem is monetary. Prices in Bolton Landing include an unwritten tax levied on tourists. Other local establishments justify these steep prices by offering a view of Lake George. The Gem sits on Lake Shore Drive, offering a view of asphalt and passing automobiles instead of water. Paying high-end prices for barbecue without a lake view attached makes the final bill a bit harder to digest. Still, the pulled pork and the cocktails were good enough to warrant a return visit. One must simply prepare to surrender a few extra dollars for the privilege.

The Gem was a pleasant find during our stay. We made reservations, which I highly recommend, and…read morechose it for my husband's 50th birthday celebration after another restaurant at the resort had completely missed the occasion the night before. No acknowledgment, candle, or mention of his birthday despite it being noted, so our expectations were modest. From the moment we arrived and were served cucumber water that was VERY refreshing, the Gem delivered a much better experience. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the meal. The cocktail menu was creative and fun. While I felt the pours were a bit shallow for $18-$20 drinks, and the oversized ice cubes seemed to take up a lot of glass real estate, the drinks themselves were well-made and enjoyable. The food was the star of the evening. Everything we ordered was delicious, and it was easily one of our better meals during the trip. When it came time for dessert, we asked if they could add a candle so we could celebrate my husband's birthday. Unfortunately, the dessert station had already closed, leaving bread pudding as the only option available. While that was a bit disappointing, our server went out of their way to make the moment special by bringing over a mini mint cordial. There was still no candle, but the thoughtful gesture was genuinely appreciated and meant far more than a scripted birthday acknowledgement. The Gem struck a great balance between good food, a fun atmosphere, and attentive service. Our only regret is that we didn't have another day to try the outdoor seating area in the back, which looked fantastic. Maybe next time!

My girlfriend described it as a "poor man's Costco" and it is sort of like that. It's a restaurant supply/food service company that so happens to have an "open to the public" retail operation as well. You'll find meats, seafood (including live lobster), produce, GIANT containers of mustard, ketchup, hot sauce, olive oil, you name it. They've also got plants/flowers for sale outside in the front. Inside also contains bread, milk, cheese, really all of the "essentials." In a pinch they do sell single rolls of toilet paper like you'll find in a hotel, and paper towels. They have some kitchen utensils if you're in need. Hell, I picked up a bottle of windshield washer fluid here too. Added bonus: they carry nuns of new skete cheesecake! If you aren't familiar with this, google it. It's made by local nuns and is delicious, puts Sysco to shame. $36 for a 4 lb cake. If they don't carry something here that you need, you can find it the dollar general or CVS that's right down the street. Despite not being anywhere near a full service grocery store, Green Mountain Food Service's store is a godsend for the depressed town of Whitehall.
