During the summer their outdoor seating is a hot spot overlooking the river. They are also great later in the fall to watch people fishing for Salmon. We have been here several times and come for their burgers. They also have a great selection of craft brews. The bartender was also working as our server and was very attentive and also caught an error in one of our parties plates and quickly remedied the situation without question. This time we diverted a bit and I had the Charleston. It was a very good chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese and a homemade ranch dressing. The ale house Philly was equally delicious. It appears that they have added to their menu since we were last here as well. read more

The floors are so sticky you hear your shoes walking across. The bathrooms are dimly lit and the sink faucets are loosely attached. The fries are thin, overcooked and could be so much better if they were any other style, crinkle cut, steak, waffle, etc. The sandwiches my wife and I had were small, half the size of any other place and overpriced. We won't return. read more

Every time I go here, I wonder why not more often? Food is great -- Philly sandwich today -- and fun efficient staff. Kudos to Kristen P who was my server. Great atmosphere and doesn't hurt that it's on the salmon river read more

Stopped in for lunch, was greeted by the bartender/ waitress. We sat outside on a beautiful deck overlooking the Salmon River. We ordered drinks and lunch items. Everything was fantastic!! The bartender/ waitress did an amazing job even though it got a little busy and she was the only waitstaff on duty!! Definitely recommend stopping and trying them out !! read more

I am so disappointed with this place. I've heard so much about this place that I was excited to check it out. Inside is a typical bar layout that leads to the crowded outdoor patio overlooking the river. Lots of unclean, uncleared tables. Staff wasn't rude but they sure as heck weren't excited to be there. The "jumbo wings" were not jumbo. And if these are the best rated in upstate then there is a serious wing problem around here. Some of them were overcooked and crunchy and some of them were barely cooked. The garlic parm is. Nothing but an oily greasy mess. And then there was the bill... $10 for FIVE wings and 50 cents for a tiny thing of blue cheese. Unreal. They also added in credit card fee, which is no longer allowed in NYS. Meh, I'll pass on this place again. read more

My son lives in Pulaski and I'm from Massachusetts. Whenever I come up I always hit up LDs. Never had bad service and their food is great ! I love the bar vibe.

LD's on the River is a unique restaurant known not only for its award winning food but also for its breathtaking views of the Salmon River -- offering outdoor seating right on the water. Wife and I stopped in for some lunch on a Saturday. We were able to find on street parking, and were able to be sat right away, at an outside table. Plenty of outdoor seating right on the river with umbrellas for shade. Menus were brought quickly. We ordered some onion rings for a starter, while my wife ordered their pierogi platter in garlic butter with fries and I got their insantity burger, a burger topped with cream cheese filled & bacon wrapped jalapenos. Food was brought in a timely manner. We enjoyed our food. Onion rings were very good, and we loved the home made chipotle dipping sauce it came with. My burger was cooked correctly and their home made fries, while very thin, were very good. Service was mostly good, although we did feel like most of the people there were regulars and there were times we felt our service was a little slow while servers chatted with regulars, but everyone was friendly. Our only other small complaint was that they serve most of their food in baskets, and for me, the burger was huge, needed to be knife & forked, and it was difficult cutting it in a small basket. Overall, we enjoyed it though and would go back if we were in the area. read more

Our server was friendly the and view of the river is nice. Great ambiance to the place. Fries were a bit soggy. Burger and salad was good but a little underwhelming for the price. Pretty good beer list for the area. read more

This was such a great find when we took a trip to tailwater Lodge for trout fishing. It was very close to the resort, and the food was very good hasn't kind of nostalgic, feel with the exposed brick and a huge deck out the back I can imagine that in the summer that deck right on the river up high kind of hanging over the river below would be such an awesome place to hang out. Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures. So I'll just use two that I found online to give you an idea. read more

Have been several times, but very disappointed today. Asked for a burger, cooked medium. Instead got a dry over cooked, un seasoned burger. My husband ordered a chicken Ceaser salad, but received chicken on a house salad made with spring lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers. This is not a Ceaser salad. Very disappointing. Not sure if we will return. read more

Waitress was rude as hell. Brunette was so rude. She yelled at our table for music we didn't play.

Waitress was so rude. Just mean for no reason. Came up to the table like it was inconvenient for us to be here.

Well I do recommend representing the local area they don't have anything that's not a local brand for liquor and their food is truly only bar food that I couldn't really find anything I want to eat and left and went somewhere else nice staff the place had some sort of funky smell. I'm giving it a three only because I didn't sample the food but I don't necessarily want to and it seem like it had a clientele. read more

I have mixed feelings about LD's. Sometimes it's a great experience, sometimes it's not. Whether or not it is good or bad depends 100% on the food. It used to be very consistent, but in the last year it's been back and forth, just plain wrong, missing things, and portions sizes fluctuate randomly. When things are right, the food is great! The bar staff is always friendly. The ambiance is nice, but I've been there when a loud and annoying man came in to bicker with the bar staff. That wasn't fun. I still go there from time to time. My fave is their wings, but their chicken speedier salad is something I used to order frequently. Unfortunately the salad is always different - sometimes with old cold grilled sliced chicken and sometimes with the warm marinated and grilled chunks of chicken, like it's supposed to be. They sometimes have live music that's always good! read more

First time ordering food from here and it was very good. It was take-out due to the pandemic but they did a great job of taking our order and having it be ready to go in the time they mentioned. My husband got the LD's burger with an extra patty and he said it was delicious. I had a few of his fries and they were good too. Nice, thin and you can tell made-in-house. Also tried the Black and Tan onion rings. These were done well, and you could taste the beer flavor. Can't wait to go back and try their chargrilled wings. read more

I don't know what the LD stands for, but I'm assuming it stand for Lots of Delicious food. I came here with my family and we had a grand ole time. I love when they have Garland City Beer Works on tap, an excellent brewery. If you're looking for a good meal with the added ambiance of the River, then this is the location for you. read more

Halloween day and no tricks, just treats at LD's. Our server Lexi was on top of her game, despite being peak lunch hour. Food came out quickly, hot and all condiments were provided expeditiously upon request. Due to unusually mild weather we were able to dine outside and enjoy the spectacular view. Despite others' negative options, we've never encountered an unpleasant meal at LD's and we're fairly picky. Try the signature sandwich, the Earl, and thank me later. read more

Not so great.... Tables aren't sturdy, food is meh, service isn't great. I was asked if I wanted another drink and the tender grabbed my half filled cup and refilled it and a full price drink. Tabasco sauce was moldy and expired. read more

We have tried LD's twice. It is a convenient and stunning location on the river for my son and I to meet for a meal. Both times the food took an unreasonable time. The first trip we watched a family get up and leave after waiting for their food for over 30 minutes. The last visit I overheard one staff member tell people that if they ordered food it would be 1.5 hours . When I asked our server if that is true he said "ya, but yours should only be an hour". I'd like to side with the staff, but based on their rationale I concluded that they really did not care. I think his answer was something like "well I'm suppose to be a best man at a wedding right now, but instead I have to cover here". There is something wrong with this place culture wise. The river view is nice but the food is just ok. I would advise going elsewhere until LD's gets their their act together. read more

Food was good. Service was good. However... restaurant opened at 10:00 am and staff arrived one minute prior, to open. Nothing was prepped. We waited over an hour for our meals. Hmmmm doesn't sound like a wise business decision. Not sure if we will return. read more

Great view of the river, nice deck, friendly staff. Good pub menu. Enjoyed our early spring lunch outside. Easy close parking.

I always come here when I'm home for a visit. Great food. Great views of the river and the old Earl's bar still shines through in spots. Buffalo wings are excellent. So are the burgers and Speidl chicken sandwich. read more

What a great little restaurant on the salmon River. We sat outside and could watch the salmon, jumping in the river, as well as people catching them. The menu was comprehensive and good. They had something called the turkey Rachael, which is turkey with Russian and Swiss. Waitress came and we ordered drinks and placed our order. All seemed well. Saw some fisherman land some pretty nice fish. Then my stomach started growling. I looked at my watch...45 min had passed with no waitress. We enquired twice and finally the lunch came. Can't screw up a grilled turkey, Swiss and Cole slaw sandwich, but my sister-in-laws burger was well done.(ordered med rare) and the side of shrimp was raw! So as any person would do l, we brought it to the waitress attention and asked to be comped. After some short back and forth the waitress she refused us. In fact she used the "f" word and "s" words and other profanity in front of everyone. No descalation whatsoever. So I asked for the manager. As she left we could hear her screaming and swearing. So the manager came out and did the same. Finally the owner came out calm cool and collected. He accepted the bad cooking of Anita's meal and immediately comped us while apologizing. If not for him, a 1 star rating and furharsh remarks were warranted. He saved the day and this review. The food was actually very good but the waitress were TERRIBLE. I gave them a 2-star because of the owners involvement. Oh, both waitress's threatened us. I'd like to go back there but most likely will not except to see the. Salmon fisherman's. read more

I would give it zero stars but thats not a option. The place wasnt even crowded and we sat at a table for 30 minutes before i had to goto the bar and ask for a menu. The server took our orders and we got warm beer and 45 minutes later our food came out. I ordered wings and loaded fries, well only the wings came out. They were suppose to be deep fried but looked like they were just thrown in a oven. Did i mention how dirty the place looked inside and the floor was sticky as you walked. Will never be going back here again read more

Friday, 10/8, we stopped in for food. I ordered the Rachel, my buddies ordered their food. It took longer than we hoped, but it was really good when it came out. Saturday, 10/9, we stopped again for food, and to watch the first half of the Penn State game. Our first server was great, and then she handed our table off to Lauren, who was awesome. Food came out a little faster, but they were super busy. I don't expect the food to come out ten minutes after we order when the place is packed. Either way, our food was great, the beer was cold, and one of the staff even offered to teach us how to salmon fish!! I highly recommend the jalapeno poppers. So good. Be back next year. read more

Wow is all I can say for our meal. I ordered the Earl. The bread on the bottom was soaking wet. The wings were over cooked and our order of Mazzorela sticks was so overcooked, there was no cheese in them. The Chicken Cascadia had chicken only in the center and no cheese or chicken on the outer edge. The waitress was nice. read more

Brittany was the best and the service was amazing! Best wings on the river and the staff knows so much!

Stopped in for lunch as it had the most reviews. Had no clue I was stepping into a dive bar. If I lived here this would be my little spot. The bartender was nice the patrons were the perfect amount of flirty old bar dudes without being creepy old bar dudes. There were darts and a juke box and everyone seemed to know each other. The view looked gorgeous. I got the earl sandwich I think it was called and it was pretty delicious and the fries were great! For the location and price and service I'll give this a 5. No issues or complaints so long as this is the vibe you're looking for. read more

Service time was slow, it took over an hour and 15 minutes to get our order of food. When the food came out, the apps were delivered with the entrées. Three of us ordered burgers that came out with bottoms only and the bottoms were hoagie rolls, no tops. They said they ran out, but 10 minutes later another tables burgers came with burger rolls. In addition, all of us had ordered our burgers either medium to medium rare, burgers came out well done. Extremely disappointed, questionable if we will ever go back, not sure what happened. It used to be a very good place. read more

Ok so the food was mediocre but the place is dirty. Needs a good deep clean inside. Not only was it dirty but all of the plastic washable drink cups were as well. See pictures. 1 star for the location. This is a def a dive bar where the locals hangout and don't care if it's clean or not. Brown mildew on inside of cups read more

Zero stars should be an option for this establishment, because out of our 100$ bill ( for two) the best thing we had was a fried pickle - that came with a burger and our mixed drink. We waited for 2 hours for our food( 2 appetizers and 2 meals) it all arrived at once. We are STILL waiting for our silverware to be brought to us, and in those 2 hours our server never asked to refill our drinks, if we needed anything etc. I understand places are short staffed, but McDonald's has better customer service skills. The burger my husband got - was hollow in the center and more like a donut shape vs a beef patty, asked for sauce on the size- was indeed brought out on the burger. And the jumbo wings were some of the smallest/ driest wings I've ever had. The chicken quesadilla is paper thin and not worth the 16$ even slightly... beef on week is dry and tasteless ( other than being drown in salt ) and brought out with a small plastic cup or plain horseradish and au jus. Very sad to see this local establishment do so poorly but charge like they are upscale. Dirty- sticky floors and tables. read more

Food was middle of the road, the service was excellent. We had Brittany(?) and she was as very knowledgeable of the menu. The beer I ordered was out and she gave me the closest thing this place had and it was honestly better. excellent service, very personable staff. I'll be back to spend all of my money. read more

LD'S was once my favorite destination for wings . I frequent the Pulaski area and spend alot of time there throughout the year. Sadly, LD's has fallen out of favor for me. I will never, ever patronize this restaurant again. I do not like writing negative reviews, it gives me no pleasure, but after the way I was treated by some of the staff, I feel that it is warranted and probably deserved. My story is this. We entered the establishment and were quickly greeted and given a table. We ordered drinks and recieved them quickly. We ordered our food, which was fried pickles, char grilled wings and a grilled chicken salad. The pickles arrived quickly. However, this is the last positive thing I can say. I noticed that other patrons around us, some of whom where seated before we entered, had no food, and were beginning to complain about the wait. One couple in particular had two small children and the kids were getting cranky because they were hungry. After nearly an hour, we decided that we were no longer willing to wait. I asked our server, nicely, for the check for the drinks and the appetizer and told her that we didn't want to wait any longer. She immediately became angry. She stormed over to the adjacent bar and register and yelled at me in front of the other customers, and said that it hadn't even been an hour. She was correct, it had been 57 minutes. I asked her again to just please bring me my bill . She printed out the bill and promptly slammed it down on our table. When I tried to pay her she walked away in a huffy and wouldn't even make eye contact. Another woman, who was very nice, took my money and thanked me. I was prepared to be nice to my server before she lost her temper and embarrassed me publicly. I had planned to tell her that we didn't blame her for the wait. I had planned to tip her 20%, because I believe in tipping well even given the negative circumstance. However, because of her outburst, I left her nothing. My advice to anyone who is considering patronizing this establishment, is don't! Unless you have alot of time to kill waiting for a salad and a couple of wings or you wish to be verbally abused in front of strangers. read more

Beautiful deck overlooking the Salmon River. Very good food quality and selection. The service was good.

The wing flight was great and so was the burger with Mac and cheese!!! Service was good

One of the "must visit" places in Pulaski when visiting the Salmon River! Recently won "Best Wings" in NY, and the burgers are bangin. My favorite beer is the blueberry. Eat in and enjoy some blues or eat out on the deck and look at the river. It's a great place. read more

Would give it zero, but the burgers and scenery were good. After waiting 11/2 hours for our food to appear, (while tables that came in way after us ate and left), we were walking out the door. We were stopped by the manager and told the food was coming out. Well... 2 entrees came out . After catching someone's attention at the bar to ask for the other 2 meals and maybe some silver ware to eat the food with, there was another large time lapse, and someone brought the food. I again went to the bar for silverware and condiments which we eventually scrounged around and found ourselves as no one would even look up. Some staff were busy attending the many other patrons who were trying to pay for their drinks and leave as well as they had been waiting as long as we had. Some patrons at the bar were being screamed at loudly by the manager ( to include the f word) and thrown out (Not sure of the back story there, could only hear her screaming). I should have left when we walked in, seeing nearly every table piled with dirty dishes and debris, but we cleaned our own tables and waited, enjoying the beautiful river. We had to flag down a server to come to our table. Once the server got our drinks, and took our order, we never saw him again. After an hour I went into the bar and asked some one to find and send him out to our table. He appeared and was shocked we had no food. He brought us a free water, ice tea, a beer and a Sprite for our wait. After a promise it was coming right out, another 30-40 minutes went by. I again went into the bar and was told their "system" went down. Unfortunately I have worked in the restaurant business for years and this was not true as every table around us was seated orders taken and served in the time we sat there and they continued to take order on the hand-held devices. It seems that 2 of the waitresses had no problem ordering and getting food as their tables at down, ate and left . Had our server even once stopped or looked in our direction during the hour that he walked back and forth by us, he would have seen there was an issue. This is literally the worst run/managed restaurant I have ever been in. It's a shame the owner does not bring some one in to train the staff as they have a killer location, Unfortunately it is because of this location and captive audience that they don't care how many people walk out or never go back, they have many more to coming in. It's a shame because this could be the "go to" restaurant in Pulaski with some staff training and someone to properly manage the front and back of the house. I don't question the prices, and I don't mind paying $90 for 4 burgers, 2 beers and 2 sodas IF that includes good service and the pleasure of relaxing and sitting overlooking the river, as that is all part of the experince you are paying for. Unfortunately that did not happen here for us. read more
