Charming lakeside restaurant with good food and great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating available and lots of great food options!

Stopped by here on our way to Montreal. The place was packed, we were told it was about an hour's wait as they were also short staffed. I ended putting my name down anyway, and was given a live link to see where I was in the queue. Thankfully it ended up moving really quickly and we were called back within 30 minutes. We asked to sit outside and enjoyed the views of the lake. Ordered a whole bunch of food which we thoroughly enjoyed. The stand out was the sweet chilli chicken wings. Not spicy at all, very well done! read more

The food was okay, though tourist prices are evident. Their fries are inconsistent as I had some barely cooked potato's I mixed with soggy ones in my batch. My main issue is with the wait times, as it took like 40 minutes to get our food and then another 30 for us to receive the buttered noodles our waiter forgot to put in. We came in at 1:00 and then left around 2:40. read more

Drinks are fantastic, more of an upscale restaurant, live music is here. This restaurant does sit a little ways back from the water, you still have a view but it's not directly on. I will say, although the drinks were good, I don't think they need to charge you NYC prices for the drinks, especially because none of the surrounding upscale restaurant equivalents in LG are charging anywhere near this price. read more

This place is on the swankier end of restaurants. Inside it is a very cool décor, with some fun swings. We sat outside and had a great view of the lake. They have a nice menu with a few different items. I went with the steak sandwich, and it was really good. Our server was very attentive and our food came out fairly quickly. Would definitely go back. read more

Yum! This restaurant is a perfect inbetween for fancy and casual and has a great spot on the water. The decor is so pretty and clean and the swinging chairs and tv were good for kids. I also loved the outdoor patio for a warmer day. Our server was really nice although the hostess seemed a little confused with getting us a table but we were seated promptly. The food was great! We really enjoyed everything and got the steak sandwich, clam chowder, shrimp tacos, and flatbread and tuna bites to share. Everything was well done and we left full and happy. Great place! read more

So far the bartender is an idiot. He can't seem to is customers in plain sight. Food review to follow. Disorganized. read more

Overall great!! Beautiful inside. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Kinda pricey. But for a touristy restaurant it was very nicely done and the menu was actually very good. Service was just kinda meh. read more

2 Stars only for the view by the bar. Staff was friendly but the food was terrible. Got the chicken sandwich, super dry and not worth the price of nearly $20. Steak sandwich wasn't anything worth the price either. Paying for the view here honestly. Probably a good choice to only drink here. read more

Outdoors was closed during off season but views can't be beat even from indoors. Hearty portions for brunch - especially the steak and eggs which still came with potatoes, bacon and sausage! I got the shrimp tacos which was kinda small - only get if you want something light. Chicken fingers and fries for the little one. The fries are perfectly crisp and crunchy! read more

The steak sandwhich was the best steak sandwhich I have ever had. Literally would come back just for it. The lobster roll was more expensive than expected but delicious. Other tables around us seemed to have complaints but our dinner was a 10/10. Wish I didn't have to pay for Still Water, if I had known I would've specified tap water. read more

Lighthouse Grill - Steak sandwhich, lobster roll - American Near Me - Lake George, New York

We had incredibly high hopes for this place, as it appeared to have it all: a setting right on the water; a bit of a more luxurious ambiance; large lines that we hoped indicated incredible food, etc. Naturally, this meant it was worth trying for a "nice" night out while on vacation in Lake George. However, like other reviewers, we left underwhelmed and, well, hungry... Our server was lovely. She was kind, friendly, attentive, and courteous. That said, service was excellent. Ambiance of the restaurant feels "higher-end" than other spots in town. Prices reflect that they believe the same. We started with calamari as an appetizer, as that is usually a go-to for us. Sadly, it was mundane. Flavor lacked to the breading. It was also overdone, with relatively rubbery texture to the squid. My cocktail was weak and watered down. We both ordered the lobster tail and rice for dinner. My lobster tail was...fine. Lobster was tough, indicating it was overdone. It was nicely-flavored. The rice was rice. It was seasoned well and had good flavor. We skipped on dessert, so I can't speak to that, as we were underwhelmed. Not bad, not great, just okay. I wouldn't return here. read more

I came to this restaurant on a first time visit to Lake George from NYC & i must say Ive had some Mac & Cheese from a lot of spots here in the city but this hs got to be The best Mac & Cheese ever ! Their pork chops are a solid 10 out of 10 ! I must've had like 15 "Hibiscus Lychee Margaritas" that drink was like no other margarita ! I was very impressed so much I kept going to this place and even Jeremy noticed and welcomed me back! He's a dope bartender / Waiter. He allowed me to stay and watch the fireworks from their balcony view and his character really made me want to come back to this place. One of the greatest a restaurants I've ever been to hands down...cheers from NYC ! The best in Lake George ! read more

Very nice lakefront bar & restaurant with a huge dog friendly patio. The crab & lobster roll is a spendy treat well worth the price. Another popular option is the three taco plate, my vegan wife liked the mushroom tacos and the side salad was excellent. read more

No, just no. We were starving after driving 4 hours to Lake George for vacation. We wanted to eat by the lake, so we popped into the Lighthouse Grill. We almost left before we ever ordered as it took 25 minutes for a waitress to even come say hello to us. We ordered a cheeseburger, and a hummus wrap. The portions were large, but the food was luke warm, and flavorless. The worst French fries I've ever had. They were battered, cold, and mushy. While it may be a nice view of the lake, it left something to be desired. Also, did not appreciate how pushy the waitress was trying to get us to take one of their boat's around the lake. read more

Ahi tuna appetizer. Supper yum but a bit over priced. Service is good. View is amazing if your bar side.

The service was incredible! We were here 2 nights in a weekend because they were beyond accommodating to large parties and babies. Our server Regan and Jeremy went above and beyond as well as the manager. We can't thank them enough for the hospitality. The food was also perfect and very well done; they accommodated our parties dietary restrictions as well and the needs of the baby. I can't thank them all enough. read more

This place was recommended to us. We called up and they said come on in. So we drove over and were told they decided to close 1 hour early. Maybe better communication between the folks that work there??? Obviously disappointed. read more

This restaurant is gorgeous and perfectly located. We came here for the ability to sit outside and overlook the deck. The service was good. Bloody Mary's were good. The tacos were awful. Multiple people in my party ordered them. The meat had to have been pre cooked. The chicken was cut into tiny 1/4 inch cubes. There is no way it was cooked to order. It didn't look or taste fresh at all. They came out and were cold. Like the meat had been pulled from the fridge and placed directly into our taco, cold. I rarely complain but I did this time. I was so looking forward to eating here. Hope they fix this. read more

First off my wife seasonal salad was amazing. I on the other hand had the fried chicken sandwich which was sooooo fried it was barely even chicken anymore. There was a sauce that came with it. It was the hottest sauce that I've ever had in my life, our waiter didn't even tell me?? He was training but the person with him training him didn't mention the fact that the sauce was very very hot. Wendy's makes a better chicken sandwich for a quarter of the price!! Place was beautiful but so are all the other restaurants here. read more

I was looking forward to a nice Memorial Day lunch date with a view as this is one of the restaurants "highlights". I went in and requested a table on the top deck with some shade and was denied by the hostess, because "the table was not on the server rotation" and I asked what's more important the customer or the server rotation and she replied "the server's rotation", at that point I asked for the manager and surprise, surprise...she was no help either she also denied me the table because "it would throw off the rotation" and offered me a table in the sun away from the shade and not the one I requested and wouldn't budge, so at that point I asked her, you would rather inconvenient the CUSTOMER which is trying to spend MONEY, than her rotation and she said yes it would be an inconvenience. At that point I decided to leave and not waste my time anymore and would not let these lazy people ruin my day. Instead I went to the "Lookout Bar Grill" where the restaurant is not as "fancy" but they did provide a better service, got the table I requested and the food was very good. I hope the owner sees this, because he has hired workers that don't care for his business. FOR CONTEXT: Restaurant was not busy and could have easily accommodated us. read more

Amazing food and drinks! Highly recommend Great staff and in a great location thanks Geremy for going Above and Beyond read more

Had a relaxing dinner on the lake. The food was spectacular. The cocktails were perfectly made and our server, Tim, was great. Would definitely eat there again next time we are in the area. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. We were up in Lake George for the 4th of July and decided to have dinner at the lighthouse Grill. This restaurant has a great location with a beautiful view of Lake George and was absolutely slammed for dinner during the fourth. With it being so busy, the overall quality did not suffer. The food was great, and everyone from the host station to the bartender to our waitress was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by for lunch during car week and really loved the experience. Great woodwork and views from the deck! Our server was attentive and just fantastic. Ordered the ahi tuna app and grilled chicken salad. Both were fabulous. Would totally return. I'd like to try a dinner service next. If I do, I'll totally be back to review that as well. For now, definitely recommend! read more

Great location along the water downtown Lake George village that has a wide variety of food and drinks including vegan options. It was really nice that even on the 4th of July we could walk up and be seated quickly. This large restaurant has a ton of seating inside and out. There is a lot of great spots to dine and view Lake George along their newly renovated deck and interior. The bar combines light colors and scenic views to make you feels as though you are at a big beach bar. I believe it was one of the owners, Katie Carson, running the host stand when we arrived. I was almost certain this was the restaurant recently advertising its renovations and menu including vegan options on the 518 Vegan Facebook Group page. I wanted to make sure since it was a holiday those options were available and was told they had some kitchen staff call off of work so they had a limited menu which still included vegan options. We were seated promptly and a server came over to take our drink order. The server was very friendly and when we received our food we noticed the vegan cheese was missing from the vegan cheeseburger. She ran down to the kitchen and explained the staff missed it and sent their apologies. It was totally fine, being understaffed on a holiday is a rough situation to be in, no worries! The food was great BUT... after eating we tour an hour tour on the Horicon, a boat that docks just down from the restaurant. We bot only paid full price for our meal, we paid full price for the cruise... what I mean is if you know ahead of time. You can get a discounted meal after the cruise or you can get a discounted cruise with your meal receipt. Oops! I don't know if they always run this offer but it's worth asking if you are going to do either the cruise or eat at the restaurant. We enjoyed everything at the Lighthouse and as long as they keep the vegan menu options, the Lighthouse will be our go to and highest recommendation for vegan diners at Lake George! read more

Lighthouse Grill - Garlic hummus board - American Near Me - Lake George, New York

First visit. Place is nicely decorated. Seating was a bit of a rigamarol. They wanted to put us up top on the deck. Not much of a view of the lake etc. seems like they were trying to space out the servers so I get it but maybe figure out a different way to do it. They kept trying to put people up there and no one seemed happy about it. Felt bad for the hostess. Good was pretty good. Service was 100. Ivan. Bloody Mary was tomato juice and vodka ): Kids chicken fingers looked amazing but had zero salt in the breading. Seems like they have an aversion to seasoning. I'd go back to give it another shot as it has a much better menu than most spots in the village. Great service and very well staffed. read more

The lighthouse grill was AMAZING! Micha was our server and he was outstanding. Food, drinks, ambience, views...everything was a 10/10. We will definitely be returning. read more

From the surface, this appears to be a most idilic spot to grab a bite to eat. From adjacent free parking, to being right on the water, a big space of both mixed in and out door seating, this place has everything to be a success... except the food. Granted we came before the start of the peak season, but it's Memorial Day weekend so things should be opening up and ready for the rush. This place still had. Bare bones menu, and seems to want to nickel and dime you to make money rather than building with quality for which they could just charge more. Turkey wrap - turkey was dry and bacon non existent. Oh and the slice of cheese was an extra $0.50 (up charge wasn't mentioned when I was asked if I wanted cheese). Short rib meal - looks like a hunk of meatloaf in sauce. Lacks flavoring so ask for hot sauce, only a few dollars up charge. Mac and Cheese plate - never seen it done with rigatoni before but I can see how that fills a bowl... the cheese flavor and sauce just were off. All in all, if you're going for a drink only (and don't mind overpaying for what you get - seriously iced down drinks) this place would work. Otherwise, you're better off at the hole in the wall places around the corner. Oh, one thing they did nail is the crispy fries. That was worth getting again and the thing that pulled this from a 1 to a 2 read more

The food & service is ok. Has an excellent view of the lake being right on the water. Off street parking is limited but available. Expensive

Food was terrific specially the appetizer that we had caprese flat bread and Audrey our server was very attentive and pleasant. The whole atmosphere is great very nice view of the lake we really enjoyed our lunch definitely recommend this place read more
