If you eat here, you get free parking, which in Lake George is great! My family of 4 got seated right away near the water off to the side on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Prices are reasonable for amount, quality and location. My youngest had kids chicken fingers and fries and loved it, 2 of us had fish and chips with Cole slaw and I had crabby patties with tots. Everyone loved their food! I would 100% go back for more tots and fried fish as the standouts but it was all tasty. Next time I'll ask for a front seat near the lake but I would definitely return. read more

Went here for dinner with my sister and it was a blast. Beautiful view and amazing food. The service was great especially as it was such a busy night (Friday on a 3 day weekend) definitely recommend coming here if you're in the lake George area. read more

We came here for dinner one night during our vacation. The food was very good and the food also came out really really fast. The service was super fast, very accommodating very very patient and caring. They took care of all of our questions and request politely and quickly. I got the Maryland crabcake and it was delicious. It becomes with french fries and you got two crabcakes with the order. We also got the buffalo chicken wings as an appetizer. They were very good and not too spicy. The restaurant over lake and you can see a very pretty view and you can also see the boats going around. They also had some live music which was very nice. read more

The Boardwalk Restaurant - New American Near Me - Lake George, New York

Upon arrival at this restaurant, the hostess was extremely rude. It almost appeared that she did not want our party to be there. After being seated separately with different servers (apparently this is restaurant policy for large groups according to hostess), another group was seated next to us at three tables next to one another and one server. The server forgot our appetizers and asked after the entrees were out if we still wanted them. The kitchen staff was unable to cut a sandwich in half because they were too busy (1/2 tables not seated). Some food was served cold. We've eaten here in past experiences with much better experiences. Upon departure, I asked to speak with management to share our experience, the hostess brought our server out and told me that the manager was unavailable. read more

Fantastic location, excellent views of the lake. Great spot for the fireworks. Enjoyed the live music on the pier. Food however was in my opinion average but as expected for the area. Service was ok, they were steady busy so understandable but like the food kind of left me wanting more. Overall great place to grab a bite and have amazing views of the lake. read more

If you want an unforgettable view of the lake and free parking, this is your place. Keep your expectations low because you are not going to find superior cuisine. I ordered fish and chips and was served skinny fries that were below average and a tough piece of fish that probably was breaded and then frozen and just reheated. I think that burgers and sandwiches are probably much better. Just remember that you are there for the view. The staff are very, very friendly. We were there when the weather was perfect, and everyone was in a great mood. There was also nice music playing. I would definitely go back. read more

Astounding views but the food was below average. Struggled to finish our meals. Felt a bit let down considering how special the place can be. read more

It seems as though this place can be hit or miss based on the reviews and, fortunately, we had a nice experience here. Firstly, sitting overlooking the water and trees was lovely and it was a great view while we ate. In that sense, the atmosphere was excellent and what I'd hope for when vacationing on the lake. Our server was attentive, kind, friendly, and checked in on us often. We felt taken care of and at no point did we ever need to flag her down for any sort of assistance. Now, the food: we both opted for the po'boy sandwich with fries, and boy am I glad that we did. It was excellent! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, the greens were fresh, the bread was soft, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. I found myself wanting to go back for more of these sandwiches, which says a lot! The open air seating is wonderful, but I also found that it may have encouraged some more boisterous conversations at the other tables. That said, we had a few tables around us that were quite loud. While overlooking such a beautiful bit of scenery, I could have done without that. However, this isn't the restaurant's fault. Worth mentioning if you're hoping for a bit more peace. Overall, I would definitely return! Recommended! read more

Had lunch on the patio and it was excellent. Fancy bloody mary with shrimp and bacon, Greek salad with grilled shrimp, super crispy fries, a decent shrimp po' boy sandwich. Service was good and the views are stunning. I do think I'd order the fried shrimp instead of the sandwich next time - there just seemed to be a lot of bread and not enough shrimp. The grilled shrimp on my salad were excellent - fresh and tasted of the sea. Very nice fresh veggies and homemade dressing. A tradition in Lake George! read more

This restaurants is great for dining by the waterfront either ample free parking across from Shepherd Park. Service is fast, friendly, and helpful for you to eat and then digest after a walk. Food is edible, but nothing special. You can't go wrong with fish and chips or sweet potato tots and their drinks. However, the Maryland lump crab cakes clearly aren't advertised accurately given there were no lumps of crab meat that I'm used to seeing and eating in Maryland. read more

This isn't meant as a dig but a few of the "on the water" restaurants are a bit rundown. These seem geared towards the tourists that are maybe more eager to get their drink on, listen to some sloppy "live music" (usually a guy with a guitar that's still struggling to learn the chord changes to The Eagles' most popular songs) and not too concerned with the food (otherwise how can you explain the popularity of Christie's?!). Then there's Boardwalk. By far the cleanest and classiest joint (with a rather large "fingerprint" on and above the lake for tables and couches) of the five or six in the vicinity. We visited for lunch and the food was ridiculously good. From a pulled-pork sandwich (too sugary-sweet for me, but my one kid dug it) to a Cesar salad with salmon (which the Mrs. devoured) to my own Santa Fe chicken wrap for (bursting with flavor and big enough that I couldn't even think about dinner that night) - no faults could be found. Solid beer list. Decent pricing. Friendly staff. And it's probably a good thing I stopped after one pint of wheat beer because I was positive at the end of the outdoor patio it was a real person that seemed to be staring into his binoculars for an unusually long time. (We'd come to realize it's just a mannequin.) read more

If you are in Lake George this is the place to go from the moment we entered to service and food quality highly recommend this little gem that overlooks Lake George read more

Beautiful views overlooking the lake. The server was amazing. Our food came quickly. Everything I ordered was well-flavored and delicious. The lobster roll was heavenly, packed with tender, big, pieces of juicy lobster. read more

Lake side lunching m at its best. It's a nice place on the shore of Lake George. No reservations allowed or at least when we were there. The Lagoon kind of has that Booting motif/outdoor camping pavilion all in one. The service and staff were great. Beautiful views of Lake George and good comfort food. The Bloody Mary was basically a whole lunch in itself. It's a great place to start a fun week or weekend off. read more

Came with a big group of people, luckily the restaurant wasn't too busy so we were able to get a good table on a Saturday night. Right on the water which is nice, able to take good pictures. Food was good, had the chicken tenders for an appetizer & lobster roll for an entree. The drinks were fairly strong but tasted like bottom shelf liquor. Service was okay, felt kind of rushed & skipped over sometimes. Definitely could've been better. read more

We just arrived in Lake George and stopped here for lunch. We were promptly seated outside with a nice view of Lake George. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The menu had salads, sandwiches, burgers and more. I got a Santa Fe wrap that was tasty with the homemade chips. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato tater tots. This was not a fancy place but good service, food and nice views of the water. read more

Absolutely satisfactory. I wouldn't say that the food here is "off the hook fantastic!!".... but it is decent and the location is awesome. I don't live terribly far from Lake George and I rarely go there during tourist season. This is the first time I've ever even heard of the boardwalk restaurant...we met some friends for dinner and to check out the live music that evening. There was a private party on the deck overlooking the water, so we were unable to hang out in that area as originally planned. Live music is usually outside but he was stuck in a warm, empty (indoor) bar area. The food ordered was a combination of crabcakes, clams, salad with grilled chicken, sweet potato tater tots, a hotdog with french fries (for the little guy) and fish tacos. Again...nothing was extraordinary but it certainly wasn't terrible. The salad was huge. My clams were extremely salty and the tater tots with melba sauce were very tasty albeit a bit mushy. I like a crisp on the outside of my tater tots. Service was friendly and the views of the lake and rolling hills are terrific. There is a "private" parking lot with a decent amount of spots if you get there early enough. It's three dollars per hour after the parking ticket is validated. We walked around a bit after dinner and only had to pay a grand total of three dollars to park. read more

I think this place is good for what it is. Laid back dining on the lake and the menus has something for everyone. I had the Apple pecan salad and orders the sweet potato tots which were good. Service was good and waitress was friendly. I t was pretty crowded but everything moved along smoothly. read more

The views are beautiful as we were sat outside. The clam chowder was ok - not sure it is made in house. My crab cakes were delicious and filling and the sweet potato tots were a different add that I enjoyed. Others in my family of 5 seemed so so on their meals so overall okay but not memorable. read more

This is based on drinks only! We stopped in to get out of the sun and kill some time before our boat tour. Beers we're cold, they have a short list of beers on tap but many more in bottles or cans. Service was good. They do have their own parking, which is a big plus. read more

The Boardwalk Restaurant - Upper outside bar overlooking the lake. - New American Near Me - Lake George, New York

5 stars for the location, ambiance and space! - huuge outdoor seating by the water, next to the lovely Shepherd's park right downtown. 5 stars for the service! Very nice, friendly, professional wait staff. 4 stars for the fries But honestly the fish was good, though not as fresh as imagined. The fried calamari was delicious, but like the fish, there was too much fried breadcrumbs compared to the meat. Marinara sauce was great! My main issue was with the crabcakes, which tasted like they had been refrigerated or in the freezer for a while. It's understandable that these processes take place in a restaurant, obviously and they are necessary. But the taste was so off-putting and obvious, that I could not finish. The homemade sauce it comes with also seemed a bit peculiar, but maybe I just wasn't used to it. read more

Great location overlooking the Lake. Service was commendable considering the place on a Thursday evening was packed. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated, which was enough time to walk the lakefront path. When your table is ready, they will send a text to your phone and also call you, so you don't have to feel compelled about "hanging around" until your name is called. Our waitress was nice; she brought out a sample size of an entree for my son to try to make sure he'd like it first. The pulled pork reuben was delicious, although they give a few too many kettle cooked potato chips with it, IMHO. Paired with a Goose Neck IPA, it otherwise made for a great meal. On Thursday nights at 930p, the area outside the restaurant makes for the ideal spot to watch the Lake's summer fireworks. read more

Service was great, as was the food and ambiance! We came with a group of 10 and were nicely accommodated. Crab cakes are a must-try , also loved the sweet potato tots and the mozzarella sticks :) read more

This is a place where you come for the view and not the food. That said, we sat on the patio and the view was AMAZING! It took a while for a waitress to come over, which was strange since it wasn't really that busy. We were starving so order our apps and food all at once. The mozzarella sticks were ok, a little soggy. The chicken fingers were advertised as coming with honey mustard, which they did not come with, so we had to ask. The burger and grilled cheese were ok, again come for the view, not the food. read more

The Boardwalk Restaurant - Come here for the view! - New American Near Me - Lake George, New York

My family recently visited the Boardwalk while in Lake George on vacation. Some of us came via land and others by boat who are camping on one of the islands. We both had an easy time finding the Boardwalk and it was convenient to have both options. We had pulled pork sandwich, crab cakes, fish &chips, a salad, and a wrap and we all enjoyed our meals. The wings were also enjoyed as an app. We also enjoyed the view of the lake from inside the building (saw quite a few paraglides which was fun and the steamboats going in and out as well). We didn't have to wait for service (a concern because they do not take reservations) but it was a Monday night the end of August. It was a cool night so we were all comfortable but as an FYI, the inside doesn't have air conditioning so keep that in mind if it's a hot day! Overall a very enjoyable experience. read more

Erica was a pleasure, thank you for your friendly and attentive service. Nice to have a professional once in a while. The salad with pecans and apples was delicious. We ordered a small size with grilled chicken. Plenty of food for one person. It was fresh, delicious and satisfying. The others in the group ordered the pulled pork Rueben. Quite impressive and large. The pork is cooked on location I understand. I would recommend it just on flavor but it's large enough to share. My only comment for improvement: the pickle served on the plate was not up to par with the rest of the food. See ya next year ! read more

The location and view are beautiful. They have an extended sitting area where you can lounge on couches and order drinks from the bar. If you come hear, skip the restaurant and head for that sitting area. We made the mistake of ordering food at the restaurant and it was not good. Clam Chowder: Not terrible, but not worth the price they charged Caesar Salad: Pretty standard but the dressing was just off-putting and got worse with each bite Chicken Tenders: These are frozen chicken sponges, all the same size and shape and were just terrible Fries: Paid extra for these and they came out cold and soggy. We didn't eat much of the food and the waitress didn't seem to notice or ask how we liked it. Also the drink prices were very high - $9 for a bottle of hard cider and $8 for a small draft beer. However, the view is beautiful and i would definitely go there just for drinks. read more

5 of us ate dinner on 9/6 the food was good. It was Adirondack's nationals car show. About an hour later our 5 kids age ranging from 23-27 came to eat at our recommendation. There was an empty 6 top directly to the side of us the entire hour. They refused to seat them there. They said they could squeeze at the 4 top in front of us, which they did. 10 min later they were told they couldn't sit there. They asked to move to inside bar area where they were told they could not accommodate them. Again entire empty room except for 4 bar patrons. They left to get dinner elsewhere. I inquired to the manager as to why our kids weren't served and they said maybe they didn't go to host. I said the tables have been empty the whole time. He said I don't know I've never had this problem in four years. I told him to deduct 25% from my bill and tip your waitress that's what she deserved and you should be ashamed of yourself for not seating five hungry adults!!! Side note: not drunk not misbehaving and would have tipped very well!!!!! I'm so upset at this incident I work in the industry and would never treat customers this way for no reason. read more

My experience here was overall good because our server was very friendly and helpful and the view was spot on! I was extra happy because on Thursdays at 9:30PM there are fireworks and we were right in front of the show. As for the food we ordered Clam Strips, A Classic Burger, and Butterfly Shrimps.To be honest, I have nothing to say about any of these. They were all just mediocre. It tasted like any other chain type of restaurant although this may not be a chain, but it tasted like one of those Applebee's type of average foods. My boyfriend and I did enjoy the drinks though! :) If I could, I would give this place a 2.5, but I rounded it up to 3 stars because of the exceptional location and for our good server. read more

The Boardwalk Restaurant - Lake , From the outside deck - New American Near Me - Lake George, New York

We decided to go to the Boardwalk Restaurant because it had amazing views of the lake. Wait was 90 minutes which wasn't bad considering it was very busy. Once we got sat the table was sticky and dirty. Also where they sat us there was a table directly above us which was uncomfortable as I could feel the customer right above my head. (NOT GREAT WITH COVID) The kitchen staff were it wearing masks (all front of house was) and the food was mediocre at best. I am not one to write bad reviews but.. I feel like if you are in Lake George this is one place you can skip. read more
