The Good Bite Kitchen - Awesome!!!! - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Lake Placid, New York

Delicious and healthy options!! I couldn't say better things about the food we got. The tomatoes on my sandwich were incredible. I also enjoyed the citrus turmeric spritzer. Loved how the salad had spirilized zucchini. Loved the beet spread too. I wish I would have been able to go back a second time during my short visit to Lake Placid. The small and simple space is charming as well. Literally a hole in the wall 6-7 stools inside and 2-3 stools outside. read more

The Good Bite Kitchen - Biker bowl with brown rice - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Lake Placid, New York

The Good Bite deserves its 5-star rating! Husband and 9 year-old loved the chili and cornbread, and I overstuffed myself a bit by eating both the outstanding sweet potato and broccoli rabe gribiche and nearly-as-awesome Thai chickpea soup (without the noodles to make it gluten free). The gribiche was truly unique and incredibly flavorful; I remarked to my husband that I wished I could cook this well. Whoever's making these recipes is a genius. There was room for us to sit at the sweet and well-designed counter along the window, but we got our lunch to go and had a picnic at the hotel. Would recommend this course if you're with a group or claustrophobic. read more

The Good Bite Kitchen - The menu changes daily and is written on the craft paper shown at left as well as on a chalkboard by the register. - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Lake Placid, New York

This place has become a weekly habit... growing into a tradition. Owned and operated by an artist, she never fails to disappoint. The House salad is a staple for myself and my girlfriend. It uses a combination of flavors that keep the salad appetizing and fresh without being overwhelming, and has filling veggies like avacado in it to keep you from needing -more-. My problem with salads is that I'm a fat kid, salads are what the food eats. I've since changed my opinion. The quiche is also to die for, "Dog good" as I think of it... so good you eat it and are left with an empty plate wanting more. Lets see.. what else. The Apple cider is fantastic. I usually make the mistake of buying some pre-made pile of crap at Starbucks so I rarely remember to get it. Don't make that mistake, its worth it. Latest dish was grilled fiddle-heads with tophu and polenta: it was an excellent combination of flavors and textures, and the polenta was perfectly spiced and filling. If you read my previous reviews I usually have -something- to bitch about, but honestly this place is perfection and I'm a picky bastard and hard to please. I'm also an avid meat-eater. The fact I'm a vicious carnivore who hangs up his top-hat to come enjoy some veggie cuisine should say something. I'm also stranded in VT at the moment and craving some Good Bite. Save me a bite would ya? ::budump hiss: read more

Strolling along Main Street in Lake Placid, The Good Bite jumped out as the most intriguing must-visit spot in town. And we are sure glad we visited, nourishing ourselves with healthy and delicious treats on our way to climb Cascade Mountain. TGB is ultra-cozy, a sleek line-up of just half-a-dozen swing-out bar stools against a slim wood-grained counter, with an additional 2-3 seats in a small outdoor nook. The interior is narrow but well-lit and cheery, and a hand-written daily specials menu greets you on unfurled butcher paper hung from the wall inside the doorway. We decided to maximize the variety and diversify the color scheme of our lunch by selecting the daily soup, hand pie and smoothie. Each was an ideal complement to the other, and arrived fresh, lovingly-prepared and creatively-imagined from the kitchen to the small corner of counter-top we had secured. The soup was an heirloom tomato gazpacho, smooth with a hint of pepper and a drizzle of cilantro-infused yogurt. Amazingly refreshing. To offset the lightness of the soup, we dove into a black bean, white corn, and cheddar hand pie, a homemade delicacy with buttery, soft crust in artistic folds and pinches. The filling was piping hot and perfectly seasoned, and if I were looking to take a nap and not a hike I might have ordered up two or three more. The smoothie hit the spot with a mesmerizing blend of mango, kale, almond milk, yogurt and cranberry. The menu changes daily based on what's fresh from the garden and fresh in the owner's mind. And I could see myself visiting daily. A great restaurant concept, perfectly executed. read more

I've been to the Good Bite Kitchen a couple times and it never disappoints! I love the house salad with the maple vinaigrette - when I was there last weekend, it came with chickpeas, roasted peppers, smoked gouda and avocado. Everything is fresh, healthy, whole and delicious. My only recommendation would be to serve a bit more avocado on the salad - it came with about 1/4 of an avocado, but the salad was huge and there's no such thing as too much avo! The service, decor, style, menu - all perfection. So many yummy options from salads, grain bowls, zucchini noodles, sandwiches, and some sweets that sell out quickly! This cute little spot is a must-visit if you're in Lake Placid! read more

Stopped by here while spending a day in Lake Placid. There are virtually no vegan restaurants in Lake Placid so I was quite happy to find this place. I was very happy with the entree I had and it was truly healthy! It's rather unfortunate that this place closes at 5 PM! The place is very clean. Despite being a small place with limited seats, it's still very attractive. Plus, the food is good. For all vegans and vegetarians visiting Lake Placid, you need to grab a meal here. read more

There are not many places with 5 stars and over 40 reviews, so I had to try this place. Ended up going in the late afternoon for a house salad to share with my wife. I'm not a salad person, but this was an awesome salad! I was hoping to try a sandwich the following day, but unfortunately they are closed Monday. read more

This place could convert even the most diehard meatatarian! The Good Bite focuses on what's most important in a vegetarian menu: fresh locally sourced ingredients, perfectly prepared, and served with loving care. With a menu board located just outside this very small gem of a restaurant, my excitement was piqued when I saw zucchini noodles. These 'noodles' can be chosen as the base for a menu "Bowl" selection. Other base choices are brown rice and spiral pasta. The zucchini noodles were beyond good, now I get the whole spiralized trend, whoa! They're an amazing vehicle to showcase the components for the chilled Jenna bowl: Black Beans, Corn, Peach, Cabbage, Arugula, Feta, Pumpkin seeds and Jalapeno Vinaigrette. Don't be deterred by the jalapeno part of this bowl. It's a beautiful balance to the bowl ingredients with no scary heat at all. Beyond yummy! The other bowl that was delicious was the chilled Harv: White Beans, Roasted Butternut Squash, Carrots, Kale, Parmesan Cheese, Walnuts and Sage Vinaigrette. Amazing! The Good Bite is more than deserving of all the great reviews and it makes you wonder what owner, Kayte Billerman, could do with a dinner menu. Special Notes: Many menu items can be made GF and V This is a very small, 8 seat (very small seats) venue; a former storage hallway turned restaurant. So, be prepared to wait for a seat OR take this scrumptious meal to go. Secret Garden anyone? Want the best seats on Mirror Lake to eat your amazing meal? Walk just 400' north, towards Hayes Street. You'll find a black gate right near the entrance to the Lake Placid Public Library. Open the black gate, close it behind you, and make your way down the stairs to a lovely quiet garden. Featuring a picnic table or the best seats in the house, 4 Adirondack chairs facing the lake. You'll be comfy and feel SO good about eatin' your veggies! *Don't forget to take your trash out with you ;o). read more

The Good Bite Kitchen is about five inches away from being too small to fit into, but I think that adds to the charm. The menu changes daily and is hung up right as you enter the dining area. The cashier that takes the order was beyond helpful with any questions that we had. This isn't your typical Lake Placid tourist trap; the prices are very reasonable and the food actually tastes good. There were two other families crammed into the dining area as we ate, and with how the kids were devouring the food their parents had bought them you'd think that they were eating chicken McNuggets smothered in Mountain Dew and Cheetos. Maybe they were just little hippies in the making and had already been brainwashed into a vegetarian lifestyle, but I was pretty amazed. read more

OMG - delicious all homemade vegetarian restaurant. seats 9 - so if you have a big party take it to go. But all of the food on the fresh menu is delicious. We love the European feel in here. read more

Tiny spot, and they run out of items in the afternoon so get there early if you want one of their more popular items. (They ran out of hand pie by the time I showed up around 3 or 4). Their menu changes daily, and is not exclusively vegetarian. I got a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches, which were made to order and pretty tasty, with some unconventional vegetable additions I appreciated. Caveat: parking around the area is terrible--one of us circled around the block while I went in and ordered. read more

The cafe has added small tables and bar stools outside for seating. Seating is still a bit limited but they did the best with the space they have! 5 stars for friendliness, cleanliness, and overall I have loved everything I have eaten from there! Happy eating! read more

BLOWN THE **** AWAY! First time at this place, visiting from out of town, and was totally blown away. Seriously. Other places in the area are not using a majority of fresh, local foods, but this place is the real deal. DO NOT MISS THIS! Not vegetarian? Go anyway! The FOOD is amazing - soups, main courses - you'll be blown away too. And satisfied. And you'll feel all healthy and stuff. read more

Super yummy, kind staff, slightly pricey, limited seating. I think this might have been a fun stop in the summer where we could have gotten our lunch to go and enjoyed the weather. The cozy bar style seating was nice but rather uncomfortable with not much to look at other than the wall. read more

We bought a salad, a sandwich, a banana bread and smoothie. Everything was great. Good healthy food and great price. It's good for take out, you could buy it and go hiking and do a picnic. read more

I am not a vegetarian but I enjoy eating healthy and when you are spending a week in a house with 16 people, junk food quickly becomes the norm. I visited this restaurant to take-out lunch twice during our vacation. The first time I got a chop salad full of veggies and topped with a peanut dressing. It was delicious and my husband and I were fighting over the next bite. The second time I got the same salad but they had changed then dressing to a standard creamy vinaigrette flavor and it wasn't as good. I also picked up a fried zucchini sandwich. It was pretty tasty but could have used more oomph. Maybe some spice or crunch. Overall, I really like this place and would definitely go back. It's worth taking the time and reading through the long menu and grabbing an affordable bite to eat, even if you aren't a dedicated vegetarian. read more

Vegan paradise in Lake Placid!!! Vegan options (or can be vegan) clearly delineated on menu. Everything is at least vegetarian. Many gluten free as well. Staff courteous, attentive and friendly. read more

We eat here every chance we get. Today I had the brown rice bowl, with mild radishes, pea shoots, goat cheese, almonds, and a heavenly ramp vinaigrette. Plus a house salad to share with my husband, and a slice of apple ginger cake for dessert. The bowl was truly amazing, perfectly balanced and only slightly salty, and the house salad was equally amazing, with big chunks of avocado. I also had a slice of apple-ginger cake to go, and the cake was just perfect. Not too sweet, with slices of apple to keep it moist, and the bite of ginger was ideal. I can't say enough enthusiastic things about the food here. We really love it read more

Love this place! Before or after practice I come here to fuel up and it NEVER disappoints. I love how fresh and 'homeade' everything is. I have an easily upset stomach by fast food and I love that I have the confidence to rely on their healthy foods and drink. The menu doesnt have many options to pick from but I prefer quality over quantity. Everything is in season and prepared very well. Definitely visit this place for lunch! My only dislike is that I wish their hours would be longer! :) read more

The concept is great in terms of freshness and healthfulness, but the execution is poor. The corn chowder was watery and tasteless. This could have simply been corrected by reducing it further, pureeing some of it and adding salt. My garden salad was good overall, but opening the box and seeing that half of the avocado was black was a big turn off. It wasn't slightly discolored, it was black...more than half of it. This was my first experience there and can't say I am compelled to go back. read more

Visiting lake placid for the first time, I immediately went online to see if there were any restaurants/eateries that offered vegan options. I was pleased to see that the good bite offered vegetarian/vegan options. My meal was outstanding! I will definitely be coming back my next visit. read more

Can't say enough things about this charming lunch spot in lovely Lake Placid. So impressed with Chef Kayte's innovative takes on vegetarian / vegan cuisine. On a visit earlier in the summer we were really taken with the southwest Caesar salad as well as a light and fresh hummus sandwich. Yesterday was all about the heartier flavors of Fall with an outstanding root vegetable stew and red lentil soup. The house made whole wheat bread is the perfect companion to it all. Please keep doing the great things you are. Can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Eggplant sandwich was on point. Prices aren't bad for what you receive. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is due to VERY limited store hours and (at least when I went), the person making the food/taking orders -I think was the owner- seemed very short with those who were non regulars. Awesome vegan stop! read more

This is a great find. It's a small lunch eatery located on Main Street. We stopped here for a late lunch and were not disappointed. I got the SW Caesar Salad and the dressing was soooo good. It was a hearty salad but I didn't feel overstuffed. It was perfect to hold me over until dinner. Highly recommend this place as a stop on your list while you are in Lake Placid. read more

I love the drinks here and I love that you can chose between wheat pasta and spaghetti squash if you can't have pasta. Thanks!

I just had one the best sandwiches in my life. Buffalo Cauliflower is such a crazy concept for a sandwich that I had to try it and I was taken away at how fresh and flavorful it was. I have had other dishes from here and all have been wonderful, packed with flavor and veggie goodness. Highly recommend for a quick bite! read more

I have the privilege of living in this area and being able to dine here often. My store is a few doors away.

It was between the quiche today and the soup...can't go wrong with either. read more
