    Fantastic smashburger!! Better than Shake Shack for sure. The owner and his son Brandon are very friendly. The young son, who had the Bambaz as a kid, was professional and sincere. It's obvious he had a great upbringing by his dad. I love the decor... It's all old model cars. The stuff old farts like me collected in the 80s.

    We were up in Lake George with family to spend a beautiful day together. After checking out the fort and walking around, we started to get hungry. Hubby discovered Bambaz on a previous trip and couldn't wait to get back. The host, Vincent, remembered him and came to talk to us which was so nice. I always like when owners come around to check on you. The food did not disappoint. I had the best Grilled Chicken Parmesan sandwich of my life! They make their own bread, it's like a mix between a focaccia and biscuits. I'm not of the process but IT IS SOOOOO GOOD. Hubby got the Mac and Cheese bowl that was also incredible and HUGE! Seriously...it feeds at least two people. I had quite a bit for someone with a sensitivity to dairy but I didn't care...I was willing to pay the consequences! Ha ha The place is small and cozy AND we were allowed to bring our well behaved pup with us which made a huge difference. Thank you Vincent for a great meal. We will be back next time we're in Lake George.

    I walked into this burger spot and was greeted with amazing service. I was talking to the owner, Vincent, and his son from the time I ordered until the time the food was out. I never have met owners of a business that were so kind and sincere. We had such great conversation, but the experience there just began. Both me and my girlfriend ordered a smash burger and a side of mac and cheese. The food was a 10/10. The burger was perfectly cooked with their house sauce and toppings. It wasn't greasy and didn't feel heavy; it also came on a seeded bun. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious, and topped with a little bread crumbs. Nothing was heavy or oily. I highly suggest this spot, and when I come back to lake George will be returning here to eat every time!!

    Our kids enjoyed the Mac-n-meatballs, chicken nuggets and tater tots and our son especially enjoyed the smash burger.

    Last year when we ate there it was a 5 star. This year only a 4 star. The service was great, but…read morethey have changed to the part skim cheese. PLEASE bring back the whole milk cheese.

I'll admit that living near Trenton has made me a little spoiled when it comes to pizza, but even with that in mind, this was not great by any stretch of the national imagination. The main appeal was convenience. Giuseppe's was only a few steps from our hotel, and the idea of eating pizza on the balcony overlooking the lake at sunset sounded too good to pass up. The order was ready quickly, less than thirty minutes, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, despite asking for utensils and plates both on the phone and again in person, they forgot them entirely. A short walk back to the shop solved the problem, and to their credit, the staff handed them over without any fuss. The pizza itself was the kind of food that serves a purpose but not a memory. The crust was too thick and doughy, the sauce had very little character, and the cheese existed mostly to keep everything from falling apart. It was utility-grade food sold at premium tourist-town prices. We knew we were paying that tax going in, but even so, it felt steep for what we got. Still, it did the job. Our family had a meal, the sunset over the lake was beautiful, and we went from phone call to first bite in under forty minutes on a Saturday night. For that, I'll give some credit. But for the pizza itself, there's not much to recommend. Three stars for speed and convenience, not for flavor.

This was my first time visiting Lake George, and Boyfriend had been talking about this restaurant for years, every time we brought up coming here one day. Was a bit worried seeing many other reviews mentioning this place was dirty, but although everything looked super old, it was clean. Some stuff is "good old" - like the decor, cool light fixtures, jukebox etc; other old things such as the AC units and outdated bathrooms, should be upgraded. Pizza was fine! Boyfriend had a pepperoni slice and raved about it... I'm just glad he was so happy :) I had a plain cheese pizza slice, it was fine - very good thin crust but not enough cheese for my taste. At $14 for two slices and two sprites this was the cheapest meal out we've had in a very long time too, lol.

    When I knew we were going to Lake George for Oktoberfest I immediately thought of Capri Pizzeria…read more It's pretty much the same as when I used to visit here annually as a child. Their hand-tossed pizzas are delicious. I always remember watching the chef kneading and tossing fresh dough from the front window, visiting here always takes me back. After enjoying the day at Oktoberfest we wanted to grab a slice of pizza before heading home. We were able to grab a table right away as most customers were taking their orders to go. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is a bit dated but I do like that they left the old CD juke boxes at the tables, once again, reminiscing about the old days. One downside is the restaurant and restrooms are not very clean. I'm sure there is a lot of people traffic here but they definitely need to improve in this area. We ordered the meat lovers ($27.43) with pepperoni only on one side. Our pie was out in about 20 minutes and was delicious. The large gets you 8 slices, we had four so it worked out to 2 slices each. The pizza was loaded with ingredients and the crust had just the right crispiness and chew. All-in-all, I had a great experience here and recommend them to anyone looking for a great slice of pizza in the Lake George area.

There are dart boards and shuffleboard table, which were not in use. Our server was attentive and friendly, as were other staff we interacted with. Beer menu is extensive as you would imagine from the name, and they also have a separate cocktail menu (but we did try). Food was very good. I had The Cask. As long as you like goat cheese, you should like this sandwich. I loved it. Other meals included the pulled pork sandwich and Reuben. All were good. The order of garlic and rosemary fries are very crispy - good for snack or just pair with some beers. Overall, decent place and service. I would return!

We stumbled in for a late bite on a quiet winter carnival weekend and there were only a handful of patrons, mostly locals sitting at the bar. The bartender (and our server) Edward was friendly and kept an eye on us and made sure we had what we needed. The food is solidly average pub fare, not bad and perfectly serviceable, but it shouldn't be your primary objective if you're a foodie hunter like me. But on a main drag littered mostly with mediocre bar-restaurants charging tourist prices for tourist indifference, I'll take "just fine" as a win. I'm not much of a drinker but my husband liked his can of Copper Legend lager so much that he ordered another one to go. The location is conveniently central especially if you're staying on Canada St. or doing activities at the lake.

    All the gyro places in Lake George seem to be fast casual Indian restaurants in disguise…read more We got a chicken gyro and a beef gyro. The chicken was made in more of a tandoori chicken style. I had never had that in Gyro but it was good! My husband is Indian and we both like Mediterranean food, so this was a good match for us. Good some tasty samosas too with some hot chutney. I had to pass on that chutney. Too hot. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and are right on the tourist strip in the middle of everything. A good place to stop after the arcade! Nice staff behind the counter too and given some of the conversations I heard it sounds like they have a following with the locals. Just as great spot.

    Lake George, NY - I can never resist a halal cart plate, so when we needed a quick late dinner…read moreafter a longish drive up, I was glad to find Gyro Hut within a short walk from our hotel. We ordered a couple of rice platters: chicken kabob, and the chicken + lamb mix, and both are heartily portioned, with a salad, and a heap of marinated jalapeños that my husband requested for a side since we are both spicy people. The kabobs are fragrant, and the rice slightly over-seasoned, edging toward flavor packet territory, but that didn't stop us from devouring both platters with zero complaints and zero leftovers. Is it my favorite NYC halal cart level good? No. But still quite tasty, filling, and generously sized. Excellent hot sauce too - not some weaksauce. I appreciate that the fresh squeezed plain lemonade comes in a huge tub and is just water and lemon - not the sugar bomb you typically get. Sugar is available for self-administration, or, if you insist, an artificial flavored syrup can be added (bubblegum flavored lemonade? Hmm I don't know...but I won't judge.) The also offer Hawaiian shaved ice, but I'm not banking on its authenticity. The outdoor patio is open in warmer weather.
