First warning - CASH ONLY!!! This place is pretty basic and hasn't been updated in years. The pancakes were more traditional Dutch pancakes, rather than big fluffy ones. The egg white omelet with tomato was really small, as was the side of bacon serving. The side of bacon cost and the cost of additional omelet toppings was also pretty ridiculous ($5.59 for three small strips of bacon and $1.79 for each omelet topping). They only had a choice of white or whole wheat bread for the side of toast. For the money you spend, it's really not worth it. We also had a half hour wait on a holiday weekend. Service was actually very friendly. If you can find another place with a shorter line, odds are it will be better. read more

One plus: service was great--Judy was friendly and prompt. The food was basic from the freezer. Small portions. Tasted ok. Cash only which I'm always wary of. The whole place was dirty though--dusting would have gone a long way. read more

Just ok. Smelled a bit old. Friend & I played it safe and ordered very basic breakfast (eggs, bacon & toast) all other places had a 40 min wait so we ended up here. Wouldn't return but it helped us get a bite when we needed it read more

Oh geez. This one was my bad. We rolled up without looking at reviews. $58 for my kid to eat some cereal, my son to have eggs and toast, and my husband and I to each get a breakfast. The food was not very good. One star for our server, who provided friendly and efficient service. read more

Seriously not sure what some reviewers are expecting if you come here. It's obvious from the outside that this place has been here for a long time. This is not an upscale breakfast spot but they do a great job for what they do. Basic breakfast menu, fast service, plenty of seating. Pancakes were loved by my son, they reminded me of the hotcakes from McDs, on the thinner side but very sweet and tasty! The omelette I had was great, the home fries were very crispy and the coffee was solid. Prices were good for LG. If you want to wait 40 minutes for a table and have dozens of breakfast choices then choose any of the number of other big LG breakfast spots. If you're hungry for pancakes or fried eggs then stop into the Adirondack Pancake House and you won't be disappointed!! There's no need to hate on this place for not being something they aren't trying to be. read more

JUST DONT GO!! Menu it horrible & WAY OVERPRICED for very little food. Place needs a complet overhaul. Cash only!! Don't waste your time!! Keep driving past it!! read more

I have to say I was expecting more from this place. For a place called pancake house, the pancakes were slightly lackluster. They here fluffy, but there wasn't much flavor to them. Thank goodness for butter and syrup to enhance them. We split pancakes and some home fries, and I will say the home fries were incredible. They had the perfect ratio of crispiness and softness, and were seasoned to perfection. I feel like a lot of places are afraid to over season and I am glad they took the risk. I can't say I'm dying to go back, but I do believe in second chances. I'd say to check it out if you're not necessarily looking for pancakes for breakfast. read more

We wanted to try someplace different. This place is a sisterhood atmosphere. Our server was prompt and it looked like the chef served our food. She was super friendly and happy! The price for breakfast at $15.95 for two eggs, three big pieces of bacon, home fries cooked exactly the way we like them, and the toast was NOT soaked with butter. This was a fair price to pay being a Lake George business. We highly recommend the Adirondack Pancake House for breakfast! read more

Don't waste your time or money!! Felt bad for our server who had to work in the totally unacceptable conditions!!! $40 for two short stacks of pancakes Totally shriveled sausage links and cheap bacon...all while sweating the entire time!! Had to be 90 degrees inside!! Not to mention the absolutely miserable hostess!! I understand how difficult COVID has been..but staffing wasn't an issue...no AC WAS!!! read more

No stars for this place cash only way over priced. We hardly got any food for the amount of money they charge on top of that ya have to pay to park in the lot. Never again. Waitress was very nice besides that I will not be returning. read more

Came here for breakfast on a family weekend today. The food was very overpriced and not very tasty for something served lukewarm. My husband complained about his being cold and they brought him back his partially eaten food reheated. I really hope they don't use the same flat grill that they use to cook everyone else's food bc that seems really unhygienic. Needless to say, the rest of us lost our appetites. Not to mention that the table next to us sent their food back because they found a hair in it read more

Staff was very friendly and polite but the food was soooo bad. The coffee tasted so strange like old tea-really watery and bitter. The soda is flat and too syrupy. The eggs were a really weird texture and tasted terrible. Toast tasted old and stale. I would just avoid it if possible. read more

This place i must say the service is excellent, great food and polite waitress. Definitely coming back!!!

Don't waste your time or money! We stopped in July 22, 2023 after a camping trip in Lake Placid. There were 5 of us and we were hungry! My first warning should have been the empty parking lot, and my second warning with our hostess sat us at two tables instead of one big one. After looking over the menu, and the prices, I decided on a short stack of pancakes. my husband got the Adirondack special as did one of my sons. My other two sons got bacon pancakes, and a breakfast sandwich. My pancakes tasted like rubber. Mu husband and boys were unimpressed with their meals too. $120 later... Very expansive and very nasty. It didn't sit well with my stomach either. I was sick all night. There are several other breakfast options in Lake George, do not eat at the Adirondack Pancake House read more

I found the pancakes to be thin and bland. Don't waste your time or money!! The condition of the place is totally unacceptable. $40 for pancakes and french toast that didnt even taste good. Not to mention the absolutely miserable staff. I have to say I was expecting more from this place. For a place called pancake house, the pancakes were slightly lackluster. There wasn't much flavor to them. Thank goodness for butter and syrup to enhance them. We split pancakes and french toast. I ordered home fries and they had bacon on them when they did not even mention that. When i told the server about the bacon situation they took off the bacon and tried to serve the same dish. I told them to cancel the home fries and they were being rude about it. Not only that they served us food and i had to specifically ask for utensils because they did not provide them. The french toast and pancakes felt like i was just eating regular bread which i could have just bought from the grocery. The most expensive breakfast but not worrth the money experience I've ever had in my lifetime. Insanely high prices for just an average nothing special restaurant. The food was soooo bad. We ordered orange juice and they gave us such a tiny glass like we are not adults. The french Toast tasted old and stale. I would just avoid it if possible. read more

They were friendly and attentive and the pancakes were good. I found the pancakes to be thin and bland. The pricing wasn't too bad.

A little off the main area. Wait time is great and service is fast. No eggs Benedict but the menu is a bit small. Staff is very friendly and the overall is good experience. read more

Avoid, avoid, avoid. Yes, yes, yes....I understand that restaurants that experience a summer surge and then completely go silent from Labor Day until Memorial Day deserve a break due to the challenges of running a "seasonal" business. However, does that give the proprietor an excuse to serve crappy food and charge shockingly high prices? No. The Adirondack Pancake House parking lot was nearly empty when we arrived at 9am on a Sunday. Wait, what?? Yes, that should have been our warning to avoid. However, we wanted to "try somewhere new". Bad mistake. The coffee was diluted curb water, the chocolate chips in the chocolate chip pancakes were virtually non-existent. We asked for a breakfast sandwich. "We don't serve breakfast sandwiches" was the response. The menu contains less than 10 items, the menu also blamed Covid-19 for the limited menu. I blame a subpar kitchen staff that could not keep up with a more varied menu. I also blame the owner/manager for a "food production" pricing strategy. If you know that game, you know. The service was overly saccharine, the waitress finished every sentence with "perfect, perfect!". Even she knew that to generate a decent tip, she had to make up for the crappy food. We left our plates partially full, and left quickly. The place needs to be avoided. There are MANY other wonderful options in Lake George Village, Diamond Point, and Bolton Landing. If you want a delicious breakfast sandwich, head to Ray's Helova Deli. Heck, if a tiny deli can produce excellent breakfast foods, surely a sit down restaurant can as well. Lastly, take a wild guess as to what the bill for a party of 5 came to for eggs, pancakes and coffee? $60? nah. $75? nah. $120.00 with tip. Like a good portion of Lake George Village's older establishments , Adirondack Pancake House needs new management, a new direction and some class. Adirondack Pancake House should be renamed "Adirondack Pancake House, closed until further notice". Do better! Avoid, avoid, avoid. read more

My boyfriend and I just finished eating breakfast there. He ordered the Adirondack Special and I had the Dutch apple pancakes. His home fries were hard and the scrabbled eggs with sausage were okay. My pancakes were okay. We didn't drink our waters because they tasted like from a gardening hoes. The overall atmosphere definitely needs to be remodeled. There was paint coming off the walls from the tables rubbing against them. I don't recommend this place and we won't be there a 2nd time. read more

If you want to wait 27 minutes for your drinks while the table across from you has their drinks, food, and out the door in that time- this is the place to go!!! Absolutely the worst service I've experienced. Fully understanding that delays may happen due to COVID- this long is unacceptable at any restaurant. We have visited many other restaurants on our trip and have never experienced this poor of service. It would be in your best interest to find somewhere else to go! read more

This place was hotter than anything the blue berry pancakes only had the blue berries in the middle no love was put into the meal also the sausage was jimmy dean out of a box and so was the flavorless home fries don't go here I'd rather eat floor flavored gummy bears read more

Let's start with the service, No complaints at all! the staff was friendly and accommodating. This place was PACKED and we had to wait about 15 minutes for a table, no big deal at all. We were standing outside and they came outside and looked for us. The food was "meh" at best. A bit overpriced. had the eggs and bacon with home fries and toast, side of sausage. Standard and average. read more

You guys had amazing service and great food me and my family had an amazing time and experience ther and will be coming back

I have to say thank you to everyone at the pancake house,it was great again!!

Pancakes were DRY DRY DRY. I got the chocolate chip pancakes and there were about 2 chocolate chips in my first pancake. I ended up just asking for a little cup of extra chips rather then sending them back. Also they were supposed to come with ice cream and I got NO ICE CREAM!! (triggered) I would have asked our server but she didn't come back any time soon so I had to ask a different server for the chips. SO DISAPPOINTING! read more

I'll start with the positive...our waitress was friendly and apologetic for what happened with our order. We were a party of 8. We were seated right away and our order was taken in a timely matter. We waited quite a bit for our order to come...understandable for a party of 8. However, all the food didn't come out the same time, plus some of the orders were incorrect. We waited again for it to get fixed. Some people in our party finished their breakfast before some received theirs. The food was overpriced for what we got and it tasted mediocre. We were also overcharged for an extra stack of pancakes. It was fixed when we brought it to their attention. In addition, they only take cash. Go elsewhere...there are much better breakfast places in the area. read more

I can't believe how bad this place is now. We used to come every year on vacation. We will never come again. I ordered a bacon and cheese omlette..they served me overcooked eggs mixed with burnt bacon and they put a single slice of cheese on top...what a joke. The menu is very limited..and it is way over priced. $9.00 for "banana" pancakes...that have specks of banana in them. Save yourself a bad experience. read more

Our first time here. Driving through the area and had a hankering for something breakfasty. Saw this place and decided to give it a go since it fit the bill. Arrived at about 11:30 am. Seated quickly. Ordered the 8 oz strip steak, medium, and eggs X 2 with a side of pancakes. The steaks were cooked flawlessly. Very tender and a PERFECT medium. Our server, Jessica, was delightful and the manager had a great disposition as well. 10/10 would absolutely fine here again. Definitely recommend. read more

I must agree with previous reviews. Kids said the pancakes were rubbery. Eggs and sausage was okay; nothing to write home about. Coffee good and refilled. read more

Overpriced for what it is. $4 glass of grapefruit juice that's actually a sugar loaded grapefruit drink. $15 breakfast sandwich on a "brioche" bun aka burger roll. Kraft single cheese slices. Family of four paid 80 bucks for breakfast. Got duped. Would only recommend to find another spot. Better options out there for sure. The breakfast spot is just one of many. read more

Went here for breakfast with some friends. Parking is easy, minus the boats and random trailer blocking part of the parking lot entrance (put it in an actual spot). The staff were all really nice and the food was ok. The specials menu was two items deep with things already on the menu, that was more hilarious than annoying for sure. But what was super confusing was the bill, one egg scrambled: $4.99 and two eggs scrambled $5.69. I paid and went about my day and honestly I should've noticed. I didn't, but it is frustrating that the person ringing me up didn't notice that an egg was overpriced. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe that's what eggs cost now and I'm being a curmudgeon. Fair. So we walked down to the Marriott and checked their prices. They also serve "avocado toast" for reference, so a $6 egg wouldn't surprise me there. Nope, they charge $2. Look, these are seemingly good people, but with all the options in town a greasy spoon pancake house needs to have their pricing scheme in order or to train the wait staff better. Maybe next time I swing through I'll consider another go at it and hopefully I can change the review for the better. read more

This breakfast restaurant was very underwhelming. The food was decent, expected to be better tasting for how high the prices are. The Interior of the establishment wasn't anything pretty as-well, kind of boring with no taste. The air inside was hotter than the air outside, no air conditioner. 2/10 would only recommend if the world was ending and you where dying of starvation. read more

Delicious breakfast, the pancakes are fluffy, the bacon crispy and the home fries are the bomb. read more

The service was good but the bacon was way too over cooked, the home fries were too spicy and the "local" syrup was from California. The pancakes were good, but for the price of the check, the food should've been better. read more

My family ate here during our weekend getaway. The staff is not friendly at all. The food is horrible and over priced.

The most expensive breakfast experience I've ever had in my lifetime. You had to pay to park in the restaurant's parking lot. On top of that for 3 (average) meals our bill was $75. That was just for 2 plates of small pancakes and an omelette. Insanely high prices for just an average nothing special restaurant. read more

Ok my dad and my sister and me went her together and we got breakfast I got eggs toast and bacon it was pretty bad the only good thing about mine was the bacon and my dad hated the pancakes they were really soft And my sisters french toast was good she really enjoyed it but that was the only meal that was good.. read more

Strange Experience Well, when we arrived and got to the front of the line, the hostess immediately asked the family behind us if we had cut the line to which they replied we had not. Not sure what basis she had used to make this comment but I found it odd. No AC so be prepared for warm temps in summer. Famous pancakes arrived but be sure to check the syrup dispenser carefully as we found an ant (yes, an ant, swimming in the syrup dispenser). When I brought this issue to the server's attention, she removed the syrup dispenser and provided us with two small individual containers that were fine. Received bill at end of meal with no deductions. Waitress informed me she had given me two small jars of Dickinsons syrup that should have been charged at $3.50 apiece. Odd? When I mentioned our experience to Jason the manager, he rightly crossed off the pancake fees and explained that his staff usually checks for ants in the syrup each morning but they must have missed this one. Odd? Jason also mentioned that people sometimes try to cut the line which is why the hostess most likely asked the people behind us if we had done so. Again, just a very odd experience. On a positive note, the sausages were good. read more

Not going to lie almost didn't go in because of some of the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Had a great breakfast and friendly staff. Even heard the table next to us say what a great meal they had. read more

I would have been happy with the average food that we received if we had gotten better service. I ordered the egg sandwich. It came out very hot but it was an average egg sandwich I could probably make at home, but I was somewhat happy with with. My boyfriend got the steak and eggs. The steak had almost no flavor but the eggs were cooked well. The hash browns on both dishes weren't very good. The bacon pancakes were good but they tasted like bisquick batter. The service started okay. We got our food relatively fast and it was hot but we had to ask three times for more coffee. Then, when it came time to get our check, our waitress had gone MIA. And when we did see her she flew right past our table, not acknowledging us. We sat there for about 15 minutes just waiting for the check. It got to the point where my boyfriend got up and searched for her and went up to the counter to get it. I would recommend looking elsewhere for breakfast! read more
