My wife and I have dined there many times now! The owner Gail, her daughter Julie and the chef, Nate are great people. Warm and friendly. The restaurant/bar is warm and cozy with a big fireplace on the far wall - always roaring in the winter. Great place to grab a drink and a few appetizers after doing some of the local hikes. If you can make it for dinner - do it!!! They "regular" menu features thick burgers, Fried Haddock Fish Fry, Clam or scallop baskets etc. Their rotating specials are always fantastic - alway cooked well, spiced perfectly and nice portions! They often have meatloaf, pork or chicken parmesan, smoked ribs, beef stroganoff and other great dishes. If you do go and they have their NY Strip Steak on the menu - you are blessed. I have had steaks in Chicago, London, NYC, Dallas - lots of places. I can honestly say the the steak at PLI is in my top 3. It's shockingly good!!! Nate (Chef) told me they source their steaks from a local source and are aged, hand sorted and cut. Also, Julia has started to introduce many new cocktails. Where else do you find a Fall Maple Old-Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Loaded Bloody Mary or Harvest Margarita in the Southern Adirondack Mountains!?!?

Come for the food, stay for the folks…read more Recently moved to Upstate NY and decided I should go on a chicken wing tour of the area. I mean, these people know wings. Running errands in this area and dropped in to try Memphis King's (1st time visit) I always get the same wings (hot buffalo) at each restaurant/bar to keep things fair. Memphis King's wings are smoked, then fried. I've found that you lose a lot of smoke flavor when they're fried to order but these had just the right amount still present. Very tasty. And crispy! (a lot of smoked wings are grilled but, while delicious, it doesn't render enough of the skin to make them crispy and I like crisp!) I've sampled wings from about 30 places (so far) and I would whole heartedly put Memphis King's in my top 10 for sure. Looking forward to trying their other items because their burnt ends look great. As does the house made pastrami *droooool* As for the people, the gal in front of house was wonderful. And the chef (not sure if he was the owner or not) was so nice. Kept checking in on me to see how everything was and kept offering me suggestions and samples. Not pushy, just smart business because I'm 100% gonna go back.

We've had the food in the past and thought it was award winning but we will not be returning and will be sharing this with friends & family so they don't have the same catastrophic situation arise with this business. We should've ordered through Meat & Company in Niskayuna.

Although they have a full menu for breakfast and lunch, I never bother just order "two with everything" or more frequently "with everything but onions" and a side of fries. The meat sauce is reminiscent of Cincinnati Skyline Chili if you're familiar with that. The "everything" includes mustard, meat sauce and chopped raw onions. A side of French fries are always hot, and cooojed to perfect crispy outside and fluffy inside. A side order is a generous helping (enough to share). The decor hasn't changed in 40+ years of going here. The same wooden booths with vinyl seats (some patched with matching tape), at the counter are the old style vinyl diner counter spinning stools you expect in a 1950's diner. It's not winning any awards for trendy decor but the staff are friendly and the food is what you're there for. The whole experience is a bit of a throwback to simpler times When I moved out of town for college, I would always make sure I fit in a trip to Newest to sate my craving for their dogs. I would even buy sauce to take home. It was never quite as good as when I could eat there, but could keep the withdrawal at bay while I was living out of state.

If you get meat sauce don't pass on onions. I think they are essential to adding some flavor. I…read morewould go back for breakfast. Great vibe. Love the counter and the booths.

Since my first experience, I've returned several times over the past year, and each visit has been consistently excellent. The cocktail menu is outstanding, with a great selection of creative drinks. Their espresso martinis have become a favorite for my friends and me during our girls' nights out. The food is just as impressive--the appetizers and entrées are rich, comforting, and full of flavor, with plenty of indulgent, cheesy options that never disappoint. One of my favorite places to dine is the Library at Backstage Pub. It offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. A special thank you to Terry and the wonderful staff for their exceptional hospitality and consistently providing such a memorable dining experience. I always look forward to coming back.

I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally decided to give it a try. One of the reasons…read moreI kept putting it off was because I thought the menu didn't look much different from the typical pub fare in the area. But after eating there I found they have curated their own unique versions of the classics. We started with an order of 3's company wings which was a mixture of buffalo, garlic parm, and lemon pepper sauces. The sauce was pretty good but I like my wings crispy and these were not. For dinner I got the Backstage burger and upgraded to poutine fries. Now I'm not the biggest fan of a traditional poutine but I wanted to try it anyway because it looked good. The burger was cooked perfectly and the beef they use is very good. The poutine fries were enormous and apparently only half the size of a full order. If you like poutine you'll probably be into them but I thought the gravy was a little thick and not that flavorful and the cheese curds didn't melt as much as I would have liked. The real sleeper hit though was the Mac & Cheese. I wasn't expecting anything special and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely would come back for that. When we showed up it wasn't too busy but they were full by the time we left and I got the feeling that reservations are preferred.

Arrived at Lakeside and got a table on the deck facing the water and incoming boats. Wait staff gave us menus and took our drink order.

I've had shrimp tacos before but I'm happy to say these were exceptional. Tacos had crispy lettuce, diced tomatoes, an avocado aioli on a flour tortilla. Yum. Fries were also perfectly crispy.
