We stopped into Big Slide this evening for a spur of the moment Father's Day dinner. After going…read moreover the menu options we went with three kids meals, the Tacos Al Pastor, and the Chicken Quesadilla. Our server was Rylan, who was absolutely fantastic! He was polite, extremely personable, and gave a great recommendation to me on the quesadilla, which turned out to be spot on and was DELICIOUS! I couldn't stop saying how good it was. I also got a flight of 5 beers, which themselves were each unique and enjoyable. Overall we didn't expect much going to a Mexican themed restaurant at a brewery, but we left very impressed and happy we gave it a go. Thanks to Rylan and the kitchen, we had a great experience and would highly recommend giving them a try if in the area. Also I'd note that it was almost empty (A Sunday) when we arrived at almost 5:30, but by the time we left there wasn't an empty seat in the place. So it seems they got a good thing going here

Qué pasó? Big Slide…read moreused to be one of the best spots in Lake Placid to eat. Pub fare, but done really, really well. The switch to Mexican cuisine is puzzling and seems to be filing a market no one was asking for. The good news... it was incredibly easy to get a table on a Saturday evening, when you used to have to wait 30-45 minutes. The staple of any good Mexican restaurant? Chips and salsa to start. It seemed as though they dug in the bottom of the pantry and pulled out a bag from nine months ago to get us started. Fortunately, it was paired with some extremely mediocre salsa from a jar. What a perfect combination to not overdo it before your meal comes! Speaking of that meal, they quickly dropped some cool to maybe luke warm, far from authentic Mexican cuisine on our table. If you like your rice al dente and crunchy, put in an extra order. They might even remember to bring it to you. Thankfully they forgot ours and took it off the bill. The only hope is that they can pivot out of this as quickly as they changed into it. The lack of any Mexican flare beyond a few star decorations hanging from the ceiling should help with that. Otherwise, I can't see this place surviving. The beer was so-so at best, which was evidenced by the four people sitting at the bar during a World Cup quarterfinal match. The second star was earned by our friendly and understanding server when we expressed our concerns. I'm sure this change is taking money out of his pocket, which truly sucks for him. Please... give us the old Big Slide back.

We stopped into Lake Placid Pub & Brewery for lunch after seeing its strong Yelp reviews, but…read moreunfortunately the experience fell well short of expectations. The staff seemed largely disinterested, as though they were counting down the minutes until the end of their shift, and appeared unfamiliar with parts of their own menu. The food was equally disappointing. The kids' chicken tenders and fries tasted like standard frozen fare, the salad looked tired and uninspired, and even the peaches seemed as though they may have come from a can. The pizza wasn't much better. Nothing we ordered was outright inedible, but nearly everything felt like the bare minimum effort required to get food onto a plate. Perhaps the atmosphere is more enjoyable when you're there primarily for the beer, but as a lunch destination, it was a letdown. This felt like exactly the sort of restaurant Gordon Ramsay would feature on Kitchen Nightmares.

Lots of parking was available and of course best time to go is off season. We had our choice of tables. Inside, out on the patio or in a sort of sunroom that's air conditioned. Our waitress was super friendly, professional and attentive to all our needs! We ordered a charcuterie board for starters and then a brat sampler with pork belly. All the food was delicious! They have the best beer. Something for everyone. We definitely enjoyed the trails through the woods to get up to the coffee shop and visit with the cows! This place is a must visit whenever we are in Vermont!

It did feel like we were in The Sound of Music! The menu is on the smaller side and doesn't offer many dietary accommodations, but they were able to provide gluten-free crackers with the cheese plate. He even brought an extra serving of crackers for us. I also ordered an iceberg salad, which came with a generous amount of dressing. I do wish there had been a gluten-free beer or cider option available, as that would have made the experience even better. Overall, a really charming spot with great atmosphere and historic character.

It was also very reasonably priced for craft beer. For dinner I had the special which was a hot honey chicken sandwich that had goat cheese and string onions, served with a side salad with house vinaigrette and a side of ranch. The server did warn me, and it was written on the menu too, that the hot honey was quite spicy, and indeed it was! I was sweating from the spice, but it was good! The ranch on the side was nice to cool it down a bit. Good service, good food, but would honestly go back for just the beer! Side note: the women's restroom was very clean and had locally made soap that smelt so nice which was a nice touch.

The fish and chips served in a bowl were soggy, I ended up eating the fish out of the batter and left the soggy batter behind. The fries were also soggy bc of the way they decided to plate this dish. The server didn't ask / offer ketchup until we were already half way done eating. I had to ask for an extra plate just to put my ketchup on bc of the bowl format of this dish. (No mention or sight of any malt vinegar either) My bf said the burger was "okay." He wouldn't order it again. Just not worth the $80 bill for me. Disappointed to say the least.

Hex & Hop was a very pleasant stop with great friendly service and a few chats with some of the locals. They had loud live music which I didn't care for, but other sure did. A few rousing sounds including Sweet Caroline, Country Roads and even The Star Spangled Banner got my fellow beer drinkers to participate. So it's not all about me. I tried the hefeweizen and didn't care for it but the Smitty Pils was excellent. I consumed two of those with the day's special pizza "Put A Pep In Your Step." The beers were great, sitting at the bar was great, the pizza was great (and has leftovers!) and my only ding was the loud live music. [Review 1309 of 2024 - 389 in New York - 22332 overall]
