I had 2 "jumbo" eggs which they seemed normal to me, a small portion of home fries for $15 also hubby ordered corn beef hash with his order and was the size of an egg. Coffee was very water down. We like ours stronger. The atmosphere was great with the looks of an old cozy cabin. Service was good, waitress did come back and asked if everything was ok. Overall our first time but probably will choose somewhere else for breakfast. Even though they have a full bar they don't do alcoholic beverages until 10 am, not sure if it's ordinance or choice. Pricey for the size of food they offer. read more

The atmosphere of the log cabin is awesome . This was our Lake George breakfast place for a number of years. Food this time was just ok. My sausage links were precooked or sitting around so they were somewhat hard. Waffle and omelettes were good but way overpriced. $66 for 3 people. Breakfast was ok but used to be better. read more

The food was small portions for the price of it. Single omelette was the size of a small plate and didn't even come with sides. Paid 90 DOLLARS for four people who ordered singular items. Service was slow. And the ambiance is okay could use different music. read more

Do not waste your time or your money. Way over priced and the food was terrible. The service was meh, waited for utensils after we got our food and they were dirty. The waitress never came back to check on us and when she took our plates, with food mostly untouched, never asked if everything was okay. Way too many options near by to pay exorbitant prices. read more

We visit this place every year before we head back to New York after spending Memorial Day weekend in Lake George. The food is delicious and we all love the comfy log cabin atmosphere. Coffee is always fresh and delicious! read more

Decided to give Tamarack one more try as we've vacationed in LG for decades. Place used to be fantastic w/good food in decent portions for an ok price. Didn't mind paying a little more for good food. They even used to put a twisted orange slice on the plate because they cared. But for many years now, the owner is happy to rip off vacationers w/no conscience. I VOW THIS VISIT WAS THE LAST. 4 of us went to breakfast on Sunday: 2 waters, 1 juice, 1 hot tea. 2 omelets, the eggs/toast/home fries/bacon combo, and 1 order silver dollar pancakes. Nothing fancy. Let's start w/the eggs. There's NO WAY they use 2 jumbo eggs to make a pathetically small 2" x 3" pile of scrambled. Home fries were a small dry pile of teeny diced potatoes w/no onions or peppers. From frozen?? Average & rubbery omelets were not made w/4 eggs. They looked just like 2-egg omelets I make at home. And the 2 slices of toast they came with were so small & dry - almost no butter & tasted stale. No extra butter, no jams on the table. Owner should be embarrassed! All food was nearly cold at delivery & flavorless. And 5 flat silver dollar pancakes for $8!!? What the actual heck! Breakfast wasn't worth $88+. Check their menu & pricing before you visit - and BEWARE that you will NOT get or enjoy what you pay for. read more

If you are in Lake George this is a must stop for breakfast. The Colossal Breakfast is delicious and more than filling! Choice of two pancakes or French toast, sausage or Canadian Bacon, two eggs cooked to your liking, and home fries. It's a hopping spot expect a little wait, ours was 10-15 minutes. Service was slow but I enjoyed the Adirondack atmosphere and breakfast was delicious! I believe they also sell their own syrup and French toast came with a cinnamon butter that added a unique twist. read more

Over the years this place just never gets better. The food is not seasoned and comes out cold. The corned beef hash is not good at all. Tastes like it comes out of a can. The sausage links are dry and overcooked. No more chances on this place. I've been coming to the lake for many years and every time I tried Flapjack Pete's it was awful. read more

Way too expensive for the quality of food. Very limited menu. Bloody Mary was awful. No straws available at a restaurant????

We arrived on a Saturday morning and waited outside for about fifteen minutes for a table. Inside is all wood, log cabin style with hunting and boating memorabilia on the walls. We had coffee, scrambled eggs and strip steak with hashbrowns and toast. Everything was very good, the steak had a little too much salt on it, but it was cooked medium rare as requested. We asked for whole wheat toast but were given white toast. However, the toast was delicious and tasted homemade. The hashbrowns were excellent, thick pieces of dark browned potatoes. The waitress did not bring the requested Splenda stevia with the coffee for about five minutes later and we were waiting while coffee got cold. They only gave a small amount of half and half which had to be replenished and as the waitress had only come back to the table once, we had to ask another waitress to get it. I was not entirely happy with the somewhat neglectful service. There are some stairs to the entrance so not wheelchair accessible. read more

Extremely expensive tourist trap. Food was very average unfortunately, but service was good.

It was the best malted waffle syrup and bacon I had in a long while. The decor was cozy and they had real cream for the coffee. Affordable and delicious. read more

Old school Lake George breakfast vibes! I've been twice, and it's always been great service from waiters and nothing but sweet greetings and goodbyes at the door and counter. The staff work so hard and it shows, rarely having to wait for food or any questions we had. Food is good, and consistent each time. You know what you're getting. One star off just for lack of renovations inside over the years (unless they have, but looks older). read more

I took a chance on this place even though the reviews are mixed and I'm glad that I did. I had a mushroom omelette with home-fries. The omelette was perfect, just a tiny bit brown on the outside and very flavorful. Home fries were crispy on the outside and made on the grill, not out of a bag. I tried a slice of my wife's bacon and it was also excellent. My son had French toast which was also really good, it came with maple butter. Our server was on a summer work exchange from Romania, and I suspect that a lot of the service related reviews have to do with seasonal help. The food was very good. read more

Breakfast was phenom. We both had specials....I had the bagel with cream cheese and lox. It was chunks of lox. Bagel was soft and the cream cheese was light and whipped. It was awesome. Husband had Belgian waffles with walnuts and maple butter. Waffles were so light but crisp, walnuts were candied. To top it off.....fresh real maple syrup. Definitely come again! read more

I don't like leaving one star reviews, especially since people tend to assume it was because I was an irate customer. This isn't the case. Their service was fine, the people were nice, great all around. Except the food. It was not good at all. I ordered a western omelette. First, an omelette, by definition, has cheese. This one didn't. A western omelette is ham and fresh veggies, but the onions were braised. The egg was flavorless, and they didn't use any seasoning at all. Here's the thing, you don't need to try to hard to get breakfast right. But this place didn't pass the test. Find different breakfast read more

Yes flapjack petes, we were looking for someplace to have breakfast but we didn't want to drive and this was within walking distance, the ambiance is nice with big wooden tables, we were seated within 15 min on a Sunday around noon, the service was prompt. There were a lot of options, I ended up having the omelette with ham and homefries, my gf had the French toast with bacon and eggs, we both enjoyed the food and were so hungry we didn't even take photos, overall the experience was really good and I don't understand why this place has such a low overall rating, everything was great as far as breakfast goes, if in the area again I'll return read more

Food was decent but coffee was absolutely disgusting. I overheard a server explaining it's something called "liquid coffee" (I mean, I'd hope so) that doesn't get brewed. Blech! read more

We walked here for Breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. I think our waitress was Tina and she was very good. She was attentive and accurate with our orders. There were 4 of us in the party and we all felt the same way. She volunteered for one of us to take home the uneaten fruit salad. Because there were only 3 stars we were cautious about going here but glad we took the chance on it. Food was quickly delivered and good. read more

First time eating here but it was a pleasure. This a family owned business and Sophie was our waitress and she was very friendly and seemed to really enjoy her family business. My Wife's says she thinks these were the best homefries she has ever had and I enjoy food that is seasoned and need no doctoring. The flavors were very good on the meat omelette that I had and my wife enjoyed the house special colossal breakfast with French toast. Flavor of the French toast was also right. We will be back! Thank you! Ps would have taken photos but didn't even think about doing a review until after the meal. read more

AKA: FLAPJACK PETE'S Stopped in for breakfast on my birthday and oh what a breakfast it was... I have to say I totally loved this place!! It was just like a big log cabin. Nice & cozy! You can basically roll outta bed (if you're staying at Motel Montreal) & right into the restaurant. It's that close. The service was pretty decent & the waitress very nice. (Note: It was a Monday morning & not too busy). I ended up ordering the Bagel Sandwich consisting of 2 eggs over medium with bacon & cheese. OMG... it was SO good! And the coffee was outta this world! I was trying for a third cup but was too full from breakfast. My boyfriend got the Colossal breakfast & enjoyed it a whole lot as well. He especially loved the bacon! It was a nice thick cut. Also, I sampled his French Toast with the cinammon butter. Just the memory has me near droolin'... All I can say is Lake George... we have a WINNER! read more

You won't leave here hungry. Hungry men: Eat here and order the meat lovers omelette. It was the best breakfast I had all week. Service was good, provided by honest hard working girls. I watched the owner walking around the parking lot picking up litter and straightening his flag. read more

You haven't experienced LG until you've eaten here! We come here at least 1 or 2 times a year while on vacation. It's our absolute favorite! The story behind the name is so LG, the food is delicious and the service is amazing! Very nice meeting Sophie, great personality very friendly and wonderful service. Always a pleasure coming here! See you guys next year :) read more

Sadly I have to change my review after our visit this summer. We come every year and look forward to tamarack's french toast & omelets. This year the hostess's daughter was our waitress. Super cute girl, we watched her grow up but they gave her way more tables than she could handle as a new waitress. You know it is going to be a bad meal when I'm sorry is repeated to every table she serves.. It was busy but we were seated right away. Took 3o minutes for our coffee. The food arrived in about 50 minutes, and my favorite French toast was hard as a rock. I sent it back and ate one of my daughters ice cold silver dollar pancakes. Said " I dont want to wait another hour so just take it off the bill" Thiss & Georges being closed really bummed me out this year :( My advice is to retrain your new staff and get a new chef. I hope they get it together if we give it another try next year. Try Lone Bull & The Silo for great breakfast in LG! read more

My family decided to go to that place since it sounded the only elegant place that serves breakfast. I was so disappointed, the food was so dry, tasteless and burned. The service was good as the Guy who served us (Andrew) was so energetic. I will never go that place again. read more

Very slow service hardly any staff .I guess every place up here is like that seriously why is every place like this slow I don't understand.Coffee was good but they take one order at time for 50 people read more

We accidentally found this place and had a delicious scrumptious breakfast! The coffee was excellent and the fresh blueberry pancakes with maple butter and pure maple syrup were divine!!! We will definitely return and recommend this establishment. PS our waitress was excellent too! read more

The menu was a bit limited but what we had was great. A really cool atmosphere too. We went off season so that may be a difference versus others but we loved it. I had the colossal breakfast. read more

Was here a few years ago which was great, their waffles were and this was the main reason for coming back. However we came back for lunch. Ordered salmon salad. Salmon was frozen on the inside. French onion soup was Luke warm, salads weren't very fresh. Onion looked like it was in the sun for way to long... the fries were good. Unfortunately they didn't deliver on past experience read more

The food was ok. We ordered a Reuben and the turkey club special with 2 sodas. Bill came to $50!! The menu clearly states the sandwich platter comes with fries AND coleslaw. We were given a choice of one. I thought I didn't read it right or maybe we ordered off the dinner menu so the price would be cheaper because we didn't get both. Not the case. I read it right. $15 for a white bread size Reuben and 1/3 cup of slaw. The slaw was terrible. The Reuben average with not much meat. The club was big with a lot of turkey. The place needed to be cleaned and had a bathroom smell to it. My husband kept telling me it was probably because of the bar. I had to use the restroom. He told me to beware that the men's room was quite dirty. The ladies room was the same. Clean it up. Tourist trap. read more

They definitely know how to make breakfast! Cool theme inside; good family setting. The silver dollar pancakes were cooked with blueberries in them and strawberries on top. The cream that accompanied them was dreamy. The potatoes could have been cooked a little more, temperature was a problem with a few people's (we were in a group of 8) they seemed a little understaffed but is go back just for the coffee which was outrageous! read more

ONLY FOR BREAKFAST, very good, dinner not much, well what can you expect from a place that had a sausage sandwich on the list of "special" entrees? Apparently you can't expect much, in that regard they've succeeded! Not worth a stop and not cheap! read more

This was one of the best breakfast I've had anywhere let alone in a seasonal tourist town. The food was great, quickly served and fairly priced. My friend and I were treated extremely well by Sophie. Even after she worked a double and went for a run that morning she was attentive and makes a mean corn muffin. Literally she made it and served it to me that day not just some boxed she was even nice enough to give my friend some fresh fruit. Very happy we went there and a little down that its 4 hours away from me so I can't go back any time soon. read more

Awful. Waiter was good. Food was not. Burnt and charred filet mignonette. Trout WANs overlooked and dried out. When the steak was sent back they brought out the same one 5 minutes later. Manager or owner was rude. Stay away. read more

We came here on a recent trip to Lake George with vouchers(part of the package from Surfside on the Lake). It was by far the best restaurant we went to during our visit to the lake. Usually with vouchers, they do not offer you drinks(soda , coffee) or dessert, but this place did. My daughter had the shrimp scampi(and the shrimp were very large) and I had the pot roast. Both meals were delicious and served by a very friendly waitress. We then had rice pudding for dessert, and that was tasty as well. I would recommend eating here over many of the other places in Lake George. read more

They messed up scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast. Most probably the easiest thing in the world to make is scrambled eggs and sausage. How? It wasn't crowded, It was dirty as hell, I sent 2 forks and a coffee cup back for being filthy, and there is little to no care about any food coming out from the kitchen. So to sum it up, this place knows how to mess up the easiest thing in the world to make. Do you really want them to make you something complicated? Manager on leaving seemed oblivious to any sort of problems happening there. read more

My husband and I journeyed to the Tamarack Inn for a Friday night dinner. The place was empty. I ordered the veal parm and my husband ordered the shrimp scampi. The food was good and our waitress was very friendly. However, the food is drastically over priced. read more

Breakfast was to die for. Flapjack Pete's breakfast was awesome. Whipped cinnamon butter and fresh Vermont syrup were an excellent compliment. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here for a late breakfast on a Saturday morning. Flapjack Pete's pancakes were very good - hot and fluffy and served with syrup and cinnamon butter on the side. Coffee was a nice, strong medium roast and very satisfying. Home fries were disappointing, nothing special. Service was average, efficient, but nothing special. All in all a decent experience. read more

Well, we ate here on a Saturday night at 8 PM and it was empty. There was a reason why as i doubt most people would go back. Waitress was very nice. Appetizers took about 18 minutes to arrive. We only ordered calamari and fried zucchini. Calamari tasted and looked like the chicken you get from white castle and zucchini was Costco's worst. Dinner arrived at 8:43, 45 minutes after we ordered. Remember, the restaurant was fairly empty. They brought out 6 entrees and my chipotle chicken sandwich was still being made. My daughters french fries were cold and i notified the waitress. A few minutes later and still awaiting my chicken and my daughters fries i was told it wasn't ready yet. When it dis come out my fries were hot but told they ran out of fries but offered potatoes as substitute (ok, fine). Hamburgers, Chipotle chicken were actually pretty good but i 'd never go back and we've been coming here every year for last 26 years. read more
