    Patio seating
    Wendy G.

    It was a beautiful night so we drove to Wilmington for dinner with the dog in tow. We called ahead and asked if dogs were allowed at the outside seating. We were relatively early and got a great table on the patio with moderate sun. Our view of the rolling river and mountains added to our yummy meal. My husband had the Fish and Chips minus the chips substituting a side Caesar salad. I had the mild chicken wings. Both were delicious! I drank a Tito's Mule and was very happy Water was brought for the dog and a whiskey for my husband. They were happy too!

    Pulled pork quesadilla

    We had a great meal at R.F McDougalls Pub. We are staying at The Hungry Trout and were in the mood for some appetizers and drinks. They let us know up front that the kitchen was busy and it might take longer, but we didn't feel as though we waited that long. We got quesadillas, mozzarella sticks, poutine, and the pepperoni pizza. Everything was reasonable priced and good. I would recommend this pub for anyone who is in town and in the mood for some drinks and bar food.

    The pub steak. amazing. Served with French fries and green beans.

    Decent restaurant located near the Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA and nearby Flume Trails. A little deceiving because there are two restaurants on this property, one that appeared more fine dining and then R.F. McDougalls Pub... More of the pub fare/average run of the mill restaurant and since we were coming from camping/hiking, we opted for the pub - a good choice indeed. I was pleasantly surprised that there was a Yelp check-in offer for a free pint of beer which I gladly redeemed for my bro bear. I ordered the Fish Taco Trio and the Pub Steak. The fish tacos were a little hit or miss, not quite up to par but not disgusting by any means. I think my pub steak just over powered my tastebuds with the flavorful spices and perfect cook (medium rare). The steak was served with green beans and fries. I would highly recommend this dish over the much, much, much more expensive steak option. The portion size was just right for me (and I LOVE steak). Service was average as it almost seemed as though the wait staff was taking care of the fine dining upstairs in addition to the pub downstairs? I hope not. Also, it was kind of dark in the restaurant but overall I'm a fan - check this place out if you're in the area and looking for a decent meal without breaking the bank.

    This place was a 10/10. The view, the food, the service! Worth every penny and super convenient on the way back from white face mountain

    Upon the snow tipped mountain tops on the main road (possibly the only road, kidding there's other roads) sits R.F. McDougalls Pub, which is also connected to the classier establishment the Hungry Trout. I have been vacationing in Lake Placid for years and have driven by this place for...you guessed it, years. However this time I will not be denied. The space is quaint, the service is...serviceable and everyone was kind. The food here was fantastic. I recommend getting the pub steak, it was FANTASTIC. All in all if you do not want to drive all the way into town, fight for parking and fight for a table this is definitely your spot.

We made waitlist reservations and they were pretty close so seating was an issue but they are really, really busy at peak times. For the place itself, I believe it's an old church?

They do have a second floor dining area for large parties. English pub style. Food is relatively good. We are here 3 out of the 5 days we were in Lake Placid, mostly out of convenience. Service is okay, depending on who you get. They are super busy all the time and if your server isn't on point they will forget things. Their Ubu beer is the best beer there. The cranberry cider is pretty good as well. Shepards pie had very little meat/filling with a larger mashed potato ratio. Apple pie sounds great on paper but had little filling, leaving it super dry because it's baked as an individual personal pie. The whipped crème fraiche was delicious. Wings were nicely fried, crispy on outside and tender inside. Sourdough grilled cheese could've been better by using any other cheese besides Kraft singles. Clam chowder is superb. Beet salad was okay. Turkey burnt ends did not impress me and it's suppose to be their most popular dish. Chicken tenders were delicious. Fried fish was amazing! Huge piece of fish, served with tartar sauce and a side of incredible fries. Detroit style pizza is lackluster. The dough could've been cooked longer as it was underdone.

You can choose from bar seating, indoor tables, or outdoor spots with a perfect breeze. There's even a big street-side table that's ideal for bachelorette groups or larger parties. The whole space feels elevated, cozy, and a little magical. Drinks: The cocktail menu is insanely creative and the pours are generous. Their espresso martini is one of my all-time favorites... I stop in for one every single time I'm in Lake Placid. It's that good. Food: I think about this food at least once a week. The menu is built around shareable small plates, making it the perfect pre-dinner cocktail hour spot for your travel crew. Order a couple of drinks and a few bites while you take in the lake views before your dinner reservation. My personal must-orders: the charcuterie board and the mac and cheese. Unreal. Price: It's on the pricier side, but genuinely worth every penny. For the quality, the atmosphere, and those views? Not overpriced at all.

Those aren't complaints, but for any "hungry guys" who like hearty portions, this place will run up your tab.

Drinks were messed up and orders had to be repeated about 3 separate times. The restaurant was not busy, so I'm unsure how this could've happened. Some of the food was good - those who got the french dip sandwiches enjoyed it, as well as the wings. However, the black bean burger and beef stroganoff were average. It didn't blow us out of the water. The stroganoff had good flavor but was sitting in a pool of oil so that put some people off. I am visiting town, but unfortunately I would not come again if I return to Lake Placid due to the disorganization, errors, long wait for food and lack of food quality to make up for the prior problems.
