Dancing Bears Restaurant

We really enjoyed the meal and the service. Joey was helpful and kind. We were very pleased with the food, the best we’ve had in the area, this weekend.

It was the best restaurant experience of the trip. The wait staff was super nice. The bartender gave my Aunt some an extra cosmo drink on the house because she liked it so much. The food was delicious. Everyone in my family enjoyed it.A little bit pricey but that’s with any restaurant on main street in Lake Placid.

I spent 2 weeks in Lake Placid and stayed at the High Peaks Resort. I ate almost everyday at the Dancing Bears Restaurant. I think I've had at least 70% of their menu and the food was great. I must say though, the breakfast sausages were sooooo good. I could eat pans of them. I ordered them for dinner a couple times too. The kitchen was accommodating and I really appreciated that. And for being a resort town, the price to food portion and quality is quite palatable.

The staff are such kind people (and good looking too). I enjoyed hearing their stories. They even know when I've had a tougher morning tham usual and immediately brought me coffee.

The wait staff was amazing. They were very cordial and waited patiently for us to choose our meals. The menu offered a great variety of meals, without being overwhelmingly large and the cocktails were stiff and cleverly presented. The prices were higher than expected but worth every penny.

This is a great place to watch a game. They have a reasonable selection of beers and the overall pricing is not bad. Service is always great and the atmosphere is also good. I always regret getting an appetizer, it is just way too much food.

Always love Dancing Bears! We stop here every Lake Placid trip. Food is delicious and the front window seats give you a great view of the lake and mountains.

If you're staying at the hotel or just passing thru town - it's worth the stop, for lunch or dinner. The menu has range and the food has flavor and the staff is friendly. The space is cozy - whether you're eating inside or sitting out on the patio and taking in the view of the lake.

A good restaurant decorated in typical Adirondack style. We came here for brunch and were suitably impressed. The flapjacks are fluffy and light and the steak tip with biscuit and black pepper sauce was fantastic! Good selection of breakfast and brunch items, as well as for lunch and dinner. Also good selection of draft on tap from local breweries. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

Incredible service, extremely delicious/filling food and amazing drinks! Definitely recommend everyone come here. Even great for families. They play kids shows and ask you what you want to watch. Good pricing as well.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dancing Bears in Lake Placid and had an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in for a treat, especially thanks to our server Amy’s friendly disposition. To make the most of my visit, I decided to sit on the rooftop, which offered a breathtaking view of the surroundings.

The menu at Dancing Bears was impressive, and after careful consideration, I settled on their mouthwatering chicken sandwich. Packed with flavor, the combination of grilled chicken, bacon, arugula, grilled peaches, gouda (which I customized to American cheese), honey BBQ sauce, grilled red onion, and spicy avocado crema was a true delight. Every bite was a harmonious blend of savory, smoky, and tangy flavors, perfectly balanced on a soft and fresh brioche bun.

However, what truly made my visit exceptional was the remarkable service provided by Amy. She went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. Amy's attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and willingness to accommodate my request were truly remarkable. Her friendly demeanor and genuine care for my satisfaction made me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit.

Amy's exceptional service undoubtedly elevated my overall experience at Dancing Bears. It's rare to find a server who goes the extra mile to make guests feel welcomed and taken care of. Her attentiveness and dedication deserve high praise and recognition.

In conclusion, my visit to Dancing Bears in Lake Placid was an absolute delight. The stunning rooftop setting, the delectable chicken sandwich, and, above all, the exceptional service provided by Amy made it an experience to remember. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience accompanied by outstanding service.

An ideal brunch spot with a view in the downtown strip of Lake Placid. Well crafted meals to suite anyone’s taste. My boyfriend enjoyed the breakfast pizza thoroughly for its big portion and quality ingredients. I cleaned my plate of avocado toast and eggs. All very satisfying and with great big cups of coffee to boot. Would happily return.

We had breakfast here 3 times while we stayed in the connecting resort. We were very very pleased each time. The food was delicious. Great portions. The dinners we got were also incredibly good. The garlic pizza was great but that fish and chips. Wow. The breading on the fish was just melt in your mouth delicious. All the employees were very very kind and incredibly professional and outgoing.

Atmosphere was nice. Food was delicious, got the Pork Shank and it was very tender. Nice staff, would recommend.

My wife and I visited for lunch or 25th wedding anniversary this past week. I got a burger and she got a flatbread pizza. I enjoyed my burger tremendously but she had a problem with her pizza which the staff quickly resolved. Great atmosphere and a great waiter. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be back.

I had breakfast over the weekend here and was very pleased with the meal. The food was well made, hot and fresh. I had eggs, bacon, toast and homefries. The price point is on the higher side and totally worth the money. My waitress was fantastic and very nice. The place is beautiful inside and has big windows to see Mirror lake . I would definitely come back. Would recommend this to all ages and a mid range budget.

Great customer service from our waitress and from you young guy that seated us 30 mins before closing. Everything other place basically kicked me and my family out because they were closing in 30 minutes. This young gentleman was so inviting and our waitress was excellent and made experience wonderful the food was great also

Food was excellent! The best fries I have ever had...just perfect ' The Dancing Bear burger was 😋 even caught a rainbow while we were there.

Went here for a quick bite while waiting for our room to be ready and I would say we had a pretty good experience. Bartender was friendly and helpful. Everything was nice and clean. You can eat either downstairs at the restaurant with a street view or upstairs level with a lake view.

Delicious food! Perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a hot breakfast! Service was great. I loved the name of the place so much I purchased my own mug to take home. 💕

Probably one of the best restaurants in Lake Placid! The prices are slightly high for what you're getting, but its town prices. We were happy to be seated around 830pm after we were turned away from Smoke Signals (they started running out of food).
Each of us were happy with our meal, they have a big enough menu for everyone to find something they will like. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey, with lots of Olympic memorabilia. The bar was packed and everyone there was having tons of fun. Also, you have to try the shirley temples! (The brand is probably all over the place here, but our people from Philly loved it!)
