Their menu is loaded with all sorts of BBQ style food, as well as steaks and some seafood too. The décor is nice, cozy, and dimly lit. I started with their wings with the Ghost Pepper BBQ sauce on them - They were REALLY GOOD! Meaty wings, great crunch and smokey flavor and that BBQ sauce was so tasty! Next up was to try an order of their brisket nachos. They came out pretty quick and looked nice. They're definitely huge and I wasn't that hungry, so I really wanted to pick the good stuff, like the brisket and many of the toppings and that was all pretty good. The brisket I had was excellent! It had a nice bark and good smoke, yet was moist. Very nice experience, a place I'd definitely return to for another meal or even a drink at the bar!

I came to Lake Placid for a few days to work at a conference and on my first day I looked up places…read moreto eat and this one came up as very appealing so I walked there for lunch and was disappointed to see they were closed. I checked the times online again (Google and their website) and saw they should be open, but weren't. So, I ate elsewhere. Ultimately, I came back on my last night in town and saw they were open and I sat at the bar. The bartender (a European guy) was less than friendly, never smiled, and hardly gave any attention to me, other than to ask what I wanted. Service throughout the entire visit was extremely poor from this guy. At one point, when I ordered my burger, I asked for cherry peppers to be added to it, he simply said "no!" and walked away. I asked him if he said no and he agreed that he did. I told him to come back and I showed him the part of the menu that showed where you can get bacon and cherry peppers added to the burger and this was what I was referring to, except that I only wanted the cherry peppers...He walked away. I ultimately got the burger and as I suspected, no cherry peppers were on it. This guy was literally one of the worst servers I've ever experienced. Along this topic, I noticed that several places in town had these European servers and I asked some locals about this, seems there isn't enough locals to handle the jobs, so they hire these folks, which is fine as long as they teach them some basic customer service skills and monitor their actions to make sure they're not upsetting customers, causing poor reviews for their establishments. When it comes to the flavors - Their chili was decent. It didn't have much depth of flavor and was highly tomato sauce based, but was decent. The menu said it was award winning, which I found interesting, because what I ate didn't taste very award winning. The burger tasted pretty good! The meat was perfectly seasoned and flavorful and the temperature was spot-on. The bun was great. The toppings were also very nicely done. Their fries were excellent! I loved the crunch on the fries, they seemed like they were par-fried then finished fried to order - very nicely done! Overall, my score comes from the terrible customer service. I saw others servers giving great service to the tables, but I made the mistake of sitting at the bar and having this guy. Also, there was a blond lady, maybe the owner or manager who was busy chatting with guests who she knew most of the time I was there and was too busy to check on other guests at the bar, even though she as at the bar too. Tells me that they clearly care more about the locals and those they know rather than those who are just passing through. Maybe it's the reason for their other poor reviews, which I think is sad considering their interesting and unique menu. If they managed service the way they put together such a great menu this would easily be a 5 star place! Hope they turn things around!

We had "the Alamo" so tried brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and had Mac and cheese and potato salad for our sides, and also got a half ring of smoked sausage.

This is a definite thumbs up place to try if you want some proper Texas brisket. If you've never had Texas brisket, it is like a really good slow cooked pot roast, with the gentle addition of a subtle smoky flavor. The other products are similar, with their respective meat flavors. Although I had a brisket sandwich, I really like smoked chicken. If I come again, that may be what I try next.

Apparently, almost everywhere in the vicinity is closed on Mondays with the exception of this brewing company and McDonald's! Raquette River brewing won! Normally, we're not too big on places with food trucks; however, this place had four food trucks, two of which looked like we would order from. Their beer was absolutely terrific! Couldn't recommend their wines though. I ordered their double IPA while my wife ordered one of the local wines they had on their list. The wine made it for two sips and I truly enjoyed the double IPA! My wife ended up switching to a blackberry sour they had on tap. We utilize the marketplace food truck. There was a combo special paste it on their side for smoked wings and smoked ribs. Combo with one side. My wife ordered the meat eaters flatbread. We also ordered an additional side of shoestring fries. I thought my smoked wings and ribs were absolutely delicious! After some seasoning, the shoestring fries were OK. Unfortunately, the meat eaters flatbread really needed some additional seasoning. Italian seasoning? Oregano? Just something more. That said, we can fully recommend the Raquette River Brewing! Great beers, and a very clean and lovely environment. PS, our server did a great job as well! She was friendly and professional! We even walked out with a crowler of American IPA!
