Me and my family are here together. Was not a bad environment really enjoyed the hospitality. The service from the waitress was really good AJ was great. She got our order in and out checked up on us frequently. Drinks from the bar were really good. The only reason why this review got 3 stars is because the food is just not there. The fish was dry and the French fries were over cooked. Pizza was really hard no flop to it. Although the Philly cheesesteak is to die for really really good and highly recommend. Had a great time!! read more

What a busy place for Saturday in mid October in the ADK! A very small and crowded bar at the rear was near impossible to get to so we put our name in with the hostess and settled in for the wait. Being a party of 2 worked in our favor as a small cramped Hi-top table opened sooner than expected and we took it instead of waiting for a booth. Larger parties had a wait. Service was slow even though they were running their butts off. The menu is mostly finger foods of pizza, wings, burgers, sammy's, etc. Our order of Burger, Fish Sandwich and Onion Rings were good. It was loud as several TV's kept everyone involved in the ball games. Would probably go here again knowing now what to expect. Sláinte read more

These guys really know how to handle a crowd. We were there the night before but we were not willing to wait the 30 minutes for an available table so we stopped in again the next day. This place is very busy(good sign) and again there was a wait time of 20 minutes we decided to wait and grabbed cocktails at the bar. We got seated at our table in less than 20 minutes and were waited on rather quickly. Our server Amanda was very attentive and calm considering the amount of tables she was juggling. The food and drinks came quick the bacon cheddar burger was cooked perfect, the wings were crispy and on the nose medium, and what I tasted of the cod was delicious. I will be returning during a slower time so i can take in the staple Adirondack tavern has to offer, hopefully I'll get a few pictures as well. read more

We always come here every year when on vacation in the ADK. The food is always good and a very relaxed, fun atmosphere. Most of the time there is a short wait but we went for lunch and were sat right away. The service was friendly and fast. We ordered a cup of clam chowder. One of the best I've tasted. I had a chicken sandwich that was very tasty and piled with toppings. The lobster Mac and cheese was really good but too small a portion for the money with no side included. Kids meals come with delicious beer battered fries :) We will be back next year! read more

Good, tasty food. Very good pub menu selection. Good, friendly service. Great ambiance, location, parking. Especially loved their chili and pizza. Ate there every night until we left Old Forge. read more

I try to stop here each time that I am in the Old Forge area. It is one of my favorite restaurants there because of one single item. I am not a burger, pizza, or sandwich person when dining out so when I first looked at this menu, I thought I was going to be in trouble. Mainly, all they serve were those things and a couple others. However, I noticed that they had "Boston Baked Cod" and it was Friday, so I decided to order the one thing I thought I'd like. Ever since, I've been there three times, and have ordered this fish, all three times. It is one of the best baked fishes that I have ever had. It has a great buttery sauce and zesty spices that are baked into the fish that give it so much flavor. I will always be a fan of this fish and can't find any place that compares. The only reason I give this place 4 stars and not 5 is because it is quite pricey for what you receive, but is understandable for the area of Old Forge. Great otherwise. read more

Slickers Adirondack Tavern - Boston Baked Cod - Pizza Near Me - Old Forge, New York

Friday night, live music, great food, and great staff. We got the nachos and they can feed a family. They were so good. Can't complain about anything here. Second time at Slickers on this trip and we may have to come a few more times. If your in the area park your snowmobile out back and have a drink and some food. Worth the trip.... read more

Slickers Adirondack Tavern - Yum - Pizza Near Me - Old Forge, New York

Took a trip up north to Old Forge on a nice day. We were hungry so we decided to stop at Slickers after someone recommended it to us. We had the French dip, and the Balboa. Both sandwiches were great and presented well with generous portions of chips and a pickle. We sat at the bar and Lauren took great care of us. We will definitely be back!! read more

Slickers Adirondack Tavern - French dip, Lots of cheese!!! - Pizza Near Me - Old Forge, New York

Friendly and kind staff. Not long wait even when busy. Portion sizes were good. Wish there were some gluten free options for celiacs.

We went for lunch. Great Burger and fries, very hearty and good french dip sandwich. Good selection of beers. Excellent, friendly service courtesy of Mariah. Comfortable pub / tavern setting. Light and open. Nice small patio. Pool Table inside is fun too. read more

After a day on the motorcycles, we stopped here for dinner. The food was good (I have the French dip and it was fantastic, my son had coconut shrimp and really liked it, my daughter have the burger and devoured it, and my husband had a bacon cheese burger which they were kind enough to customize with blue cheese). It's clearly a popular place and we were not disappointed. read more

Fly infestation! I spent most of my time trying to swat all the flies away from me, my daughter and everything else on our indoor table. Patrons at other tables nearby were also complaining to the waitress about not liking all the flies at their table. I complained to our waitress but nothing was done. I lost my appetite and wanted to leave ASAP, The food we did eat was just ok and nothing special. The noise level from kids playing pool and screaming and yelling was uncomfortable. I'll NEVER go there again. read more

I love visiting slickers on the sleds, bar area is tiny but its always a good time and the food is always fast and delicious definitely a must if your in the area looking for good food, love their battered french fries! read more

The server was slow to come to the table and take our order, but once the food came it was all delicious! The bruschetta was amazing and the French dip sandwich and the balboa were both very good as well. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a cold January day - we were the first ones there. Bottom line - 3 different lunches, all excellent. My wife got the Shimp Po' Boy and loved it; I got the cheesesteak sandwich and it may be the best I've ever had. We also shared a bowl of delicious clam chowder. The prices were reasonable, the food delicious and the service prompt and friendly. If you are in the area, this is a place you definitely want to visit. I'd give it 4.5 stars if it was allowed! read more

Come this way and was dying for good wings. Did not get them.. arrived when it opened and wings had been previously cooked and redunked. Dry, overcooked. Very disappointed. read more

Had dinner here with the family first night in town. Service was very good. Long Island ice teas were on point. Food was good nothing spectacular, priced just right. We had fish fry, nachos, and pizza. Coleslaw was delicious, Very generous proportions. Restaurant did smell very strongly of seafood, and it wasn't the cleanest restaurant we've been to, but recommended for the area. We were seated at a table in front of an air conditioner blowing freezing air directly onto us, so we switched seats. read more

This was the perfect spot for a lunch near the water. The artichoke, spinach, and shrimp dip was fantastic! The French dip is a must. Good food, good drafts, good service at a decent price. What else could you ask for? read more

Great food, great service, prices are fair. I had the smothered chicken sandwich, and it was great. Good selection of burgers and beer list is full of popular domestics. read more

Went here Friday for some bushwhackers! Came here last night due to unfortunate circumstances at two other restaurants we wanted to try out. Our waitress was on top of everything! Drinks and food came out fast. Will definitely be back for food! read more

We had a big party 6 adults and 4 kids. They quickly accommodated us and joined 4 tables together. Drinks were quickly served and dinner wasn't far behind. I think we waited maybe 15 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we had our food. The waitress was cool and friendly. The price for 10 people was about $12 a person. Also the pizzas are bigger then you would expect. I was assuming a little bigger then a personal pan and I was wrong. They are a full sized medium-ish pizza. 8 slices a pie. The wings were so so, a little over cooked.. If your looking for a good quick place to eat I would recommend this joint. read more

After reading all the great Yelp reviews on Slickers I really wanted to love it.... unfortunately I didn't find it that great. On my visit I had the Garlic Wings which were really really over cooked, and filled with the taste of pure grease. Some others in my party had the Margarita Pizza which was slightly overcooked as well but had really good flavor. I'd like to someday give this place another shot.. Maybe just an off night? Either way for me it was sub-par. read more

This place is OK, but not at all that great. I tried the French dip and it is far below par, very bland au jus and the meat was so-so, and the roll was approaching stale. Can not agree with all the rave reviews of the french dip, at all. PROS: Cold Beer, friendly folks, laid back vibe. CONS: Food is average at best, bordering on over-rated. Service is slow and most servers are handling more tables than they should be, you need to hire more servers and schedule them accordingly!!! But they'll do well because it is in a great location in a cool little town. read more

Came in for dinner after a long day of riding ..we were seated right away ...I had the pizza ..was ok ...everyone else ordered burgers , fried shrimp etc ..reasonably priced ..nice service read more

On an Old Forge Scale, this is more like a 4, but I don't want to set your expectations too high. It does have an excellent french dip, and balboa sandwich, however the place has smelled like piss (I hope it's because they use ammonia to clean or something) 30% of the times that I visited while living in Old Forge. It's one of the only places that does more complicated mixed, and frozen drinks. They have live music occasionally, and the service has always been above average to good. read more

Been coming here for years. Great Adirondack-Bar style food with a comforting atmosphere. Clam Chowder always does me well!

An couple families went with us as a group of 14, 8 kids and 6 adults. The adults sat in a circular table in the patio outside while the kids sat on the other side of the building, in a picnic table that didn't seem to be apart of Slickers, which I didn't like because we couldn't see the children. While the parents talked, the kids walked over to the Old Forge Community swimming area in one of the lakes, which was in seeing view of the porch we ate at. When the kids were done they came back and everybody ate, all was good. Great place for kids and adults. read more

A few of us rolled into slickers late last Thursday for some wings and drinks. Lauren was working the bar and put up with our shenanigans for a few hours all the while maintaining a smile and dealing with our ridiculousness. The drinks were poured well. We had a double order of Buffalo wings, hot, as well as an order of nachos. The wings were cooked well and sauced well. 5 out of 5 on the wings. The nachos were all right, definitely plentiful, and covered in chili and all the fixings. They could have used more toppings to balance out the chip count, but beyond that they were good. Thanks for having us! read more

pizza was ok.... It did have fresh toppings, It is a bar, and they have outdoor seating, but they are not complying with the NY smoking laws. People from the bar come right outside the door to smoke which is in the outdoor seating area. read more

The food here was great! My family and I went here for a dinner after a day at the water park and everything was phenomenal! Nachos for an appetizer ( huge portion!) two kids meals, two french dips, and a bacon cheese burger, with out exception, awesome food! If I had to give any critique, it would only be that I ordered my burger medium rare and it was well done. Despite that it still tasted amazing! read more

We came here after a long day at Enchanted Forest. I had read the reviews and was pretty excited to try this place! I was expecting a long wait or to have to find another place to eat since there were 9 of us (and hungry kids) and it was Saturday evening. However, we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The waitress was excellent! She took our order of drinks, appetizers, and entrees with 3 separate checks and didn't write anything down, and everything was exactly as ordered! The food was delicious and the prices were great! I was very impressed with our whole experience and I look forward to going back next time we're in Old Forge. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Great place for a causal meal, friendly servers and pleasant views from the main dinning room. I had the tuna sandwich which was generous potion and cooked just right. The French dip sandwich is also a fair portion with lots of cheese, I would hold off on the cheese if you want to really taste the roast beef flavor. Many beers to select from we enjoyed Blue Moon with our selections. This is our go to diner when we are on the go in Old Forge. read more

Best French Dip I have ever had!!!! Great price too. Ate at the bar. Good service. Sandwich was so big that I split it with my hubby and we both left full. read more

Pizza was 4/5. Good for upstate N.Y. Wings were 5/5. Awesome. Crispy outside, super moist and not too much sauce. I live 50 minutes from Buffalo and these were the best I've had in a while. Well done!!! Cool bar and good service. read more

This place has been a long standing institution in the Old Forge area and is probably my favorite bar to get food at in the area. The French Dip is the best anywhere, and I mean anywhere, as I have ordered it at multiple other places in my travels across the US and none have ever come close to Slickers. All the other food is great also but I'm partial to the french dip. If your in the Old Forge area and your looking to go out to eat Slickers should be at the top of your list. Only thing to watch out for is that Slickers is EXTREMELY popular so expect to wait if your headed for dinner on a Friday or Saturday night, other nights there is normally no wait. read more

Visited this restaurant a few weeks ago....the service was amazing, food was prepared so fast and tasted so good! I recommend the french dip and also, the beer battered fries and onion rings..hands down, one of the best meals I have had in a long time. read more

We ate dinner here recently. We ate outside at a high top table . The music was a bit loud for conversation for me. Our waitress was pleasant and service was good. I had the Blue Cheese burger, it was good but nothing special. I asked for medium and it was medium well or more and the odd part to me was the blue cheese was crumbled over the top not melted. Other members of our party had the French Dip which was reported as good and the other 2 dishes ordered were reported as good . Sweet potato fries were good but nothing special. A nice casual restaurant with a decent selection of food and draft beers. read more

We stopped for lunch on our way through Old Forge. We were delighted to find a quaint Adirondack bar/restaurant with an old cozy comfortable and clean feel. We tried the special: Caprese Grilled Cheese that rocked! Mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil on a thick sliced bread grilled to perfection and bursting with flavor. The homemade chili was also very good. The New England clam chowder was good as well. The staff were prompt and friendly. We will definitely be returning! read more

I'd say Slickers is a solid 3.5 to 3.75 stars. We dined there with our two young kids (4 & 6 years old). They have a typical bar fare menu of salads, sandwiches, burgers and some seafood. We went for the sandwiches, and they did not disappoint. Nothing fancy, but the food hit the spot, and I though the price for the meal was very reasonable. They have a kids menu, and a decent selection of cocktails/wine/beer if you're looking for liquid refreshment after a day hiking in the ADK woods. It is a bit small, but we were lucky and got the last table available without having to wait. There is also a small outdoor dining area. read more

We stopped here on a Tuesday, not exactly the busiest day of the week, and yet? They were out of hamburger buns(what?) and they were out of onion rings. They did have however an ample amount of flies. And it seemed only one waitress. We stayed because we had no idea where the next place was. Burger on some kind of roll was good and fresh. Ditto on the chicken wings. I was put off by the 7 buck pitcher of sofa but no refills here and we had a teen with us. The light fixture a foot over my head was encrusted with ketchup and other dried things, and the flies made protecting my plate a competition on whether I could eat my food before they landed. The flies won. You don't even want to know what the rest room was like. I wouldn't eat here for free if I could have a do over. read more
