    Later evening stop on our way through the area toward Lake Placid in January 2024. The atmosphere was super casual and great food. The service was top notch!

    We loved getting together & trying the BBQ at Mountainside. Most meats were a bit dry for our liking, but the Cobb salad was a huge, fresh & delicious meal in itself! This place has nice tangy homemade sauces that you can't miss.

    On our way home from a day of hiking my wife and I discussed what could be better after a cold and yet hike then warm and delicious BBQ. We purposely drove out of our way getting home because the Mountainside Smokehouse & Grill had been on our radar for years. Located right of route 28, their address states it's located in Old Forge but is closer to Inlet in an area called Eagle Bay. Mountainside has a very rustic quintessential Adirondack theme to it. The inside is made through and through with wood and a fantastic wood fire place. The aroma of smoked wood is lightly filling the dining room. We were greeted kindly by our waitress and was given an option where to sit. We picked a table by the back window. A very interesting view from our seat shows their deck that they use in the summer months along with an L shaped old, decapitated one story motel that strangely added a really cool background to the restaurant. As an appetizer I ordered a side salad with their house balsamic vinaigrette. Nice portions and fresh veggies. Always a fan of house made dressing as well! For my entree I ordered the Trail 5 Combo. It came with a choice of 3: pulled pork, turkey, brisket, chicken, or half rack St. Louis ribs. I picked the brisket, chicken and half rack of ribs along with their Mac n cheese and smoked veggies for sides. I have ordered sample platter at many a BBQ restaurants and I got to say that this was the largest portion of brisket I have had on a sample platter! Though I didn't notice a smoke ring I can tell you they were my favorite meat on the tray. Meaty and flavorful with a nice hint of smoke. The chicken was a bit dry but style overall delicious and again, the perfect amount of smokiness to the breast. The ribs were not fall off the bone nor as tender as I normally enjoy them. This was really the only "miss" of the meal but I was so looking forward to them. The smoked veggies which consisted of zucchini and squash were pretty good as was the mac n cheese. The one side that really hit the mark is the one that I totally don't have a photo of for. The smoked beans were fantastic. Three types of beans along with pork was awesome. The smokehouse has three types of house BBQ sauce; original, Sweet and Hot. All three were really tasty but mixing the sweet with the hot was the perfect combination. After a fun but exhausting hike, Mountainside Smokehouse & Grill hit the mark for me. It was the perfect find for my well earned hunger. I would definitely come back again and try one of their smoked meat Sammies along with giving the ribs another shot.

    Great little place, glad my wife found it! Smoked chicken wings appetizer, plus the smoked brisket Sheppards Pie for me and the "Lake Effect" sandwich with Mac N cheese for my wife (washed down with a Guinness). Fantastic food, nice outdoor deck, great service! We'll be back!

    Enjoyed dinner here after a long day of hiking the Adirondack Mountains. My boyfriend and I ordered the Fulton Chain Combo, which included basically everything! More than enough food for at least four people! The ribs were tasty and came off the bone nicely, turkey was smoky, brisket was tasty with some fat on the edges, chicken was good though a little dry. The garlic bread was good as was the corn bread. We both loved the baked beans which were quite different than the typical, loved that it had multiple types of beans and great flavor!!! My favorite part of the meal was the beans! The smoked vegetables weren't that great. Good food, great service! Clean and comfortable and well spaced out dining area and large back porch as well, which was busier than inside. Really cute decorating inside! Glad we made it before they closed!

    waitresses having social hour the entire time during my meal, heard them talking about my family and laughing at us/ whispering and pointing as we walked in and outside. we were not fond of bugs that kept biting us and this seemed to be a big joke to them. very upsetting to feel judged as you eat.

    This is the worst BBQ I have ever had in my entire life. A shoe would have tasted better. Great waitress, got our food fast and she was very friendly. Food was lukewarm at best, brisket was WAY beyond overdone, pulled pork was ok. Salt potatoes were terrible and the Mac and cheese was noodles with shredded cheese melted on top. Poutine was drowned in canned gravy. Corned bread had no taste whatsoever. Top dollar for horrendous "bbq". Needless to say, we didn't get boxes, I wouldn't feed that to my dog. Save your money, go to the gas station and get some beef jerky.

    Food took forever and came out cold. Better to skip this place even though there's not much around.
