Sesame chicken sandwich
Jane B.

The food was amazing...the service was great! We sat on the deck which was so picturesque. Absolutely a must stop if you are in the area...a hidden gem!

Menu (9/23)

First visit so we only tried a few things. Service was tip-top and the Inn is both lovely inside and out. Plenty of parking. We both ordered the pork schnitzel. I've never had schnitzel that crunchy. Wasn't bad - just different. I wouldn't order it again. The apple slaw was also different, too different, and like another reviewer I would have preferred the potato salad to be warm. Brussels sprouts were fine. Also, really surprised the meals were delivered in about 5 minutes. How? We ordered a bread pudding to go. Also different enough that I wouldn't order it again. I'd try the Inn again, but different dishes, in the hope that we just had an odd experience.

This is a fabulous spot. Their hours are perfect, and the music they play gives a very upbeat yet relaxed feel. Service is fast and friendly, and the food is so good. It's amazing that this is an option in Upper Jay, NY.

This place is truly a hidden gem. I love to vacation up north around the Lake Placid area and I refuse to leave without going to the Ice Jam Inn. Top quality food, service and ambiance. My favorite place ever.

A friend and I stayed at the Ice Jam for a night before heading up to a retreat on Saranac Lake. It's adorable. We booked a room with two twin beds which was perfect. I love that this is an option. The beds were pretty old and not the most comfortable, they could absolutely use an update. I was a little worried about the shared bathroom but it ended up being fine. We ate in the restaurant and my only real wish is that the menu had more options - the food was delicious! The tables and chairs were a bit shabby and didn't fit the mountain inn vibe but that's ok. The only real downside is that because this is booked via AirBnb, it's very hands off. Check yourself in with a code, keys in the doors and you take it when you arrive, etc. Totally fine, but this place is so cute, a more Inn feel would be great! Would absolutely stay here again, rates were super reasonable and it's in a great area.

Great food but they don't want to seat you. The last two times I was told they are not seating. Won't be told that a third time.

Well, I had the mussels. I was disappointed. Lacked any flavor. But the rest of the party had wonderful meals. Nice quaint dining area.

Needed a place to stop for something to eat and drink. This was the closest place and it ended up…read morebeing a great little stop. We were in the mood for lunch and they were only serving breakfast that Sunday. So, we opted for the most lunch-ish thing available that wasn't too heavy. Bagels and cream cheese. They were perfectly toasted and there was plenty of spreadable cream cheese. It made for a perfect light lunch. I don't eat eggs, so it did limit my options. If you do eat eggs, their breakfast dishes with eggs look amazing. Of course, we tried the coffee. It was very good and we loved the mugs. The place is rustic-charming. The service was good. It's a busy place. We loved the regulars who stopped in and didn't even need to say what they wanted. The servers already knew. The service is good but slow. Not sure if that's because they were busy or if they're just not the type to rush things. The bathrooms are clean. There is an up-charge for credit cards. It's hard to resist buying mugs and coffee to take home. The cookies were so hard to resist we bought some to keep us snack-happy on our travels. Definitely a good place to stop.

While I haven't had the opportunity to try the entire menu just yet, I can say confidently the home fries live up to the hype. I understand why they're called home fries because they reminded me of home. It looks like they're doing some renovation on the second floor, I wonder if that'll result in even more seating. If that's the case then it'll take this cafe to the next level.

Good news is the pizza and beer are still good!…read more The complimentary salsa was rancid, although the waiter replaced it kindly...but then you start questioning what the rest of the meal will be like... The large $14 salad was not as large as they used to, be and unimpressive - there weren't many options.. The menu had only Mexican options, (except pizza and one burger with salsa and chips side after we just had that as a free app for 10 minutes - no fries!). We love Mexican but this was pretty limited and a bit skimpy portion-wise...there was no guacamole appetizer, sides were often salsa and chips, no ground beef option, although there was steak, pork, or chicken). Limited vegetarian options, which is weird for Mexican. The manager stopped by and when we commented on our disappointment that there was no guacamole appetizer he offered a side option- and then charged us $3 for a tiny portion of very limey and over mashed guac. This is not Desperados

I have eaten here more than 50-times over the last ten years. The recent transition to a Mexican…read moremenu is lackluster. It isn't bad, but it isn't special. Staff and ambiance are still great as was the beer I ordered.
