    I admit that I was intrigued by the name of this restaurant, I also found good reviews on Google and a good location - close to the center. So I decided to go there. The restaurant has a nice interior - old shool. The service is very nice. I ordered a bbq plate with fries and soup with chilii. The soup was good - different than standard chili - worth trying. But the plate was really delicious!!! Great grilled meat, juicy. The portion was large and the fries were really good. They have good prices! I recommend and enjoy! Little update - I came back here. I ordered a redneck burger - very good and juicy! I recommend it!

    When you visit lake Placid, and you love meat, make sure you visit those guys! Very friendly staff and really good food. Tastefully, juicy and lots of flavor. The exterior is not that spectacular, but the inside is cozy. Greetings from the 2 dutchy’s.

    Amazing family run restaurant with a warm hospitality and top notch food. Great meal after a long hike in the woods with fresh ingredients and huge portions. Love the heavenly pig, fat bastard burger, and redneck burger. Logan is a great waiter. Can't wait to be back!

    All I can say is WOW!! This place is unbelievable. Having eaten burgers in several states I like to think I'm a burger aficionado. This was one of the top 2 I've ever had. It was just amazing and you could tell no expense was spared in making it. Top quality, fresh ingredients, great taste. But the real star of the show was my wife's salad. She said it was the best salad she was ever served in a restaurant. Greens were so fresh it was like they just picked them. Service was great as well, our young waitress was very professional and extra attentive. We sat outside to eat, what a pleasant atmosphere and great parking too. A completely positive experience. My pictures tell the tale but I give this restaurant nothing but the highest rating and neither one of us can wait to return.

    We have eaten here a few times. The atmosphere is cozy and has an Adirondack feel. The food is delicious and homemade. The meat is smoked in house. The smoked wings are delicious. Owners son is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Our server was attentive and friendly. Off the beaten path of the main drag in Lake Placid which is nice. Definitely check them out if you are in the area.
