This place was wonderful! To start we both had a "hot & dirty" martini--ice cold martini with blue cheese olives and a dash of tobasco, sounds weird, was amazing. Appetizers--the baked scallops and the smoked trout, both delicious. Mains--Campfire Trout and Seafood Papardelle (a special). The pasta had multiple lobster claws, tail, and crabmeat. I died and went to heaven. For dessert we had grasshopper pie, and carrot cake for my hubby's birthday. Both very tasty! The decor is very cozy, like I want to come back on a brisk fall day and eat all the delicious food. Our waitress was so adorable. Knew when to check in, had a fun sense of humor, and was all around lovely. Will keep this in mind and return when we're back in the Lake Placid area!! read more

Food, service (Casey) and meeting other friendly clientele/regulars can't be beat. This will go down as one of the highlights of our summer vacation and place we hope to return someday. Dishes enjoyed with the view: campfire trout, venison, steak (truffle) frites, duck wings, hot and dirty martinis, lobster bisque, peanut butter chocolate pie, maple creme brulee. read more

Great service ( Kacey) really good trout. Beautiful location, we will be back. Trout app was fantastic!!!!!!

Dinner was delicious. The Gran Mariner trout was amazing . Charles our waiter was outstanding! We were here 5 years ago and really looked forward to coming back . It did not disappoint. read more

Great ambiance both indoors and out. We had excellently crafted cocktails, the type of drinks that you want to go and give a nod to the bartender. The food/dishes we ordered were perfectly balanced and obviously crafted by a chef who cares about their craft. This restaurant is a must for anyone looking for an elevated dining experience. read more

Nolonger live in the area but the Hungry Trout was always a great meal and great views of the Ausable.

Great meal at the hungry trout. The food was quite good. Highlights were the scallops coquille, lemon caper trout and venison chops. All were fresh, tasty and very well prepared. Our server Meagan was a 10 -- super friendly and accommodating. Chef Brad stopped by our table which was a nice touch and throwback to a bygone era when chefs would touch tables and make their presence more felt. Really great service. Views are excellent too! read more

What a gem. Beautiful location on the Ausable River. Literally felt like we were in an immersive experience with the overlook view of the brook aside the restaurant. The house rainbow trout in grand marnier butter was impeccable. Our wait staff Megan was charming and authentic. Brad, our chef, visited our table and made sure we were more than satisfied with the 18 oz ribeye steak. The positive energy of this restaurant really added to our overall 5 star experience. read more

The Hungry Trout - Chef Brad and happy customer Bryan - American Near Me - Wilmington, New York

The decor is charming and there is a night time view of the river that is lit up. The food is spectacular, so inventive and different than anywhere we have eaten in quite a while. I had the trout with Grand Marnier and it was superb. The cocktails were terrific also and the chef came out and chatted with diners. The wait staff was terrific and fun. Highly highly recommend! Looking forward to another visit. read more

Left all three entrees on the table uneaten. Food was terrible and the service was even worse. The soups are disgusting and sent 2 of the three people to the restroom later that evening. Bring your fly swatter if you decide to find at this s%$# hole. read more

Outstanding food! We come here regularly and it is always excellent. A warm, comfortable atmosphere with a friendly staff. Great dishes include the venison chops and mushroom ravioli. Love this place! read more

I wasn't impressed by this place. We made a reservation over the phone a few hours before we were to arrive in Lake placid. They were able to accommodate us and we were told we would have a table with a view. When we arrived they sat us on the side of the restaurant with a view of the stream, we couldn't see the Mountain View, but it was still pretty. This place is pretty expensive for the quality of food. I wasn't entirely impressed with any of the dishes. We got the escargot and smoked trout as appetizers. The escargot was my favorite, I liked the presentation of it and it was yummy! Wasn't a fan on the smoked trout. I didn't like the flavor. For my dinner I got the campfire trout. I didn't think it was tasty. It came with risotto and vegetables. I would give the food a 2/5, and that's being nice. He got the duck and he liked it! The staff was nothing to rave about either. With so many other restaurants in the area, I wouldn't go back here. read more

This place is great! I've been here a few times. On my most recent visit, I ordered the fish and chips. I also tried the pretzel. Both of these were yummy. I came here for dinner with friends on a busy weekend. We were seated as soon as we arrived on the outside deck. The view of Whiteface was gorgeous and I was so glad that we had such a great view. Our pretzel came quickly. It was served hot and fresh. It was gone pretty quickly. But, between four people, it was big enough to share. I ordered the fish and chips. My favorite meal to order when I go out. The portion of fish was plentiful. And the fries were seasoned perfectly. They were yummy and flavorful. I would definitely order this entree, again. I'll be back again the next time I'm in the area for sure. read more

Had an excellent dinner at The Hungry Trout! Service was friendly and excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambience was fantastic. The menu is extensive and offers everything from "lighter" options (lemon & caper trout) to dishes that no one would walk away from hungry (the osso bucco). We would have happily eaten here every night of our long weekend. read more

Appropriately named, definitely left hungry. $360 for two adults and two kids and we came home and ate leftover pizza and cup of noodles. And whatever they did serve was cold and not seasoned at all. Worst dining experience ever . Better off at a diner. And. I never post on these but this place was epically terrible read more

Overall 3.1 I'm must say overall a good experience with great ambiance. Were able to score reservations at the last minute. I wouldn't say we had high expectations but were pleasantly surprised. Two servers taking care of the entire floor and were quite busy. Still we didn't wait for anything and were served our courses promptly. We ordered a very nice bottle of Zenato Valpolicella Ripassa which ended up pairing well with everything. Starter course was the venison and wild boar stuffed mushrooms. The cheese took over the flavor profile completely. Second course wedge salad and lobster bisque. The salad was just fine crisp cold lettuce and accoutrements. Lobster bisque was like a double serving very large. Very rich and decadent bisque with an elegant velvety smooth finish. Main course J had the Roasted Trout with Lemon-Caper Butter. The skin was soggy and burnt and trout was overcooked. The flavor was lacking and underdeveloped sauce really didn't marry with the fish at all. The rice was cooked well but bland unless stirred in with sauce. Still not a horrible dish just not executed well. My steak and seafood trio was an decent try at a surf and turf. Filet was in two 3oz pieces (my judgement on size) I ordered med rare and it came out med well. Seafood was cooked well with some shrimp and chunks of lobster, served over mashed potatoes with a gravy / Demi glaze of sorts. The potatoes and lost lettuce Didn't pair well. Flavor and sauce was good. Overall the food was priced appropriately and not bad and not epic. I would go back and give them another shot. One thing I enjoyed was the wood burning fire in the entry way provided that smoky winter feel but wasn't facing the dining area which would have been too warm. read more

Great atmosphere, great service. To our surprise, our waitress, Megan, (whom we also had over a year ago) remembered us. The Hungry Trout provided a pleasant experience, from the host to the kitchen. Food and drinks were phenomenal. Wonderful to see a restaurant with employees who still take pride in providing the customer an exceptional experience. read more

Tricia was a great waiter, very professional & informative on the menu! Recommended the special of the day which I am beyond words! The special was Rainbow Trout with a lobster sauce and shrimp , absolutely so mouth watering and delicious, I'm so glad I picked this off the menu. Even the dish presentation was a fish plate! Atmosphere was very romantic! Wine selection is great too, I paired it off with the brotherhood wine (a sweet cherry flavored wine). The house old fashioned complimented the meal as well! Also recommend, if you have any room left after eating dinner, the maple creme brulee is perfect!! COVID: masks required, since there is limited capacity, I would call in advance (see the waiting time) or make reservations, everything is sanitized between customers , hand sanitizers are provided read more

Had the lobster roll at the Hungry Trout, it was terrible. There was about two ounces of lobster with lots of filler served on a huge steak roll stuffed with large hot house tomatoes. Additionally, the lobster tasted a little off. We mentioned our dissatisfaction to the waitress and she took notes which she gave to the chef. The chef did nothing, he never talked to us or offered to adjust the bill. The lobster roll cost twenty eight dollars and I wouldn't feed it to my cat. read more

This place was just okay. Ordered the grilled trout and it was fine but pretty greasy and not very memorable. Best thing was the giant soft pretzel. read more

I have been dining here for over 40 years .. multi generations of our family . New chef and menu and bartender are just awesome .. wait staff ( Beth ) professional ... smoked trout app was Michelin quality, the pork osso bucco was top ten meal of the century , legacy trout dishes are OG , Get out of placid frantic pace and journey to the HT . delivering a top notch meal in the age of covid with short staff and all the normal seasonal obstacles is nearly impossible but the effort and caring staff at the HT get 5 stars , You will not be disappointed! read more

Delicious! Staff was attentive. The menu seemed spot on for a place with trout in the name. Lovely lovely view of Whiteface with the setting sun. read more

We loved our dinner at the Hungry Trout Restaurant during a recent Adirondacks vacation in the Lake Placid area! A word of encouragement -- call and call to secure a reservation. We didn't know they took reservations, and couldn't get thru by phone, so we count ourselves very lucky to get a table by showing up right when they opened. GREAT service, absolutely delicious trout, and an unbeatable view! We got the Pan Fried Trout and the Campfire Trout and shared them both -- superb! Started with cocktails -- a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned (there was something special about it -- vanilla-scented bourbon, maybe?) and both were GREAT! Also got the baby beet and feta salad, which we recommend. Overall FANTASTIC meal and true Adirondack experience! read more

Last night we (and several others) showed up for 5pm reservations. It was dark and empty. There was no one at the restaurant. No one on property. No sign on the door. Their answering service knew nothing and their telephone messages were disabled. We all waiting a bit thinking maybe they'd show at the last minute. But nothing. We had planned this birthday dinner out for the entire trip. Instead we came back to the airbnb and had scrambled eggs. read more

I don't post much. But I just wanted to say the food was great incredible. Even my kids loved their meals. The waitress and staff were excellent. The restaurant has a great ambiance and great views of the river. If you are going to be on the area make a reservation and enjoy a great meal. Looking forward to coming back soon for another great experience. read more

Service was awful, food was ok, but nothing to write about. The ambiance wasn't too bad. Waitress never even looked at us!

We've enjoyed The Hungry Trout in past years and took company there for dinner recently. it was not the same. We sat downstairs, in the tavern, which has lost much of its cozy ambiance. Two of us ordered from the main menu (trout and mushroom ravioli) and both were very good. The other three dishes were from the tavern menu and were not good at all. Chicken fingers and fish and chips were significantly overcooked and a chicken sandwich was undercooked and inedible. We left disappointed, unfortunately. read more

Ate in the restaurant - not the bar. Had to wait 15 min for a table, even with a reservation and plenty of open tables. Service was just so-so. The trout was excellent, but the sides were really just not good. The risotto was clearly not fresh. A few things on the menu were not available. Drinks at the bar were excellent. The view is great! read more

I want to give a shout-out and a big thank you to The Hungry Trout Restaurant in Wilmington, NY for making my viewing of the solar eclipse such a once in a lifetime event. The Trout offered a great brunch with a varied menu of breakfast and lunch dishes and desserts. Not only was the food delicious, but it was accompanied by a very attentive and friendly staff. The view of Little Whiteface Mountain and the stream below couldn't be beat. To top it off guests were invited to stay on the resort property to view the eclipse. All in all a wonderful day. Thank you Hungry Trout. I highly recommend this restaurant and hope people will visit it. read more

Very, very tasty trout dish. Super nice and profesional service, truly nice. The place has old fashioned ambiance, quiet, environment.

Enjoy a spectacular view while you dine on trout prepared six different ways with friendly, fast service. There are other seafood & steak options but the trout is the highlight of the menu. Not a lot of choices in this area for dining, but this place is worth stopping in for a nice meal. The bacon wrapped scalloped, smoked trout & pork belly appetizers were delicious. There is a small bar area where it looks like a lot of the locals like to socialize and a charming patio overlooking the river. read more

If you are near Lake Placid, and you do not eat here, you are eating at some place not worth writing about. The Hungry Trout in Wilmington is one of the best American restaurants we've ever visited. Totally professional in every way. The menu features fresh trout from the Ausable River, which is 50 yards away. Many other items for people who do not like trout (?). Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating. A separate Pub downstairs. Great views of the mountains and Ausable River. It could not be nicer. read more

Our family participated in Yuletide Family Weekend at North Pole, NY and The Hungry Trout was assigned for our meals for breakfast and dinner for two days. Having a family with multiple food allergies, we were impressed with how this restaurant ensured food safety. Our server, Casey, and chef, Brad, went way above and beyond. They let us preview the upcoming menus and made sure they had balanced, delicious meals, even my food allergy five year old absolutely loved. The service was impeccable and all of our food was very good. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. When we arrived our first evening for dinner we marveled at the all-windows dining area and how pretty it looked with tree branches, white lights, Christmas decorations, and trees. But the next morning when we arrived for breakfast we were blown away. We now had the most gorgeous Mountain views and view of a beautiful brook as we dined. We didn't realize the restaurant was right at the bottom of this beautiful mountain and had a brook flowing behind it. We made wonderful memories and enjoyed great service and food. We would definitely return to The Hungry Trout. read more

All I can say is avoid. Maybe its because I'm from NYC but my group and I really didn't enjoy our meal. The bread served wasn't warm. The lobster bisque was extremely salty. The two types of trout ordered had fish bones!! We were actually completely shocked a restaurant would serve a fillet with bones. The venison chop was cooked in a red wine sauce which tasted like straight alcohol. Fish, chops and their sides were all bland and we had to drown it in black pepper. So disappointing because I was the most excited for this restaurant. Hard pass on this one - trust me. read more
