Maggie’s Pub

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Loved the roasted tomato soup and brussels sprout. Bryan, our server, was top notch.

Food is great! Service is amazing! Ambience is phenomenal! I can’t imagine anyone having a less than stellar experience here. Would recommend this to anyone.

Maggie’s at the Lake Placid Lodge was highly recommended by a friend. I am always hesitant of those that oversell a place because they tend to underwhelm me upon arrival. Maggie’s at the Lake Placid Lodge was the exact opposite. It was everything and more.
The Lake Placid Lodge is set behind the golf course located right on the water. Driving through the course in the October is beautiful in itself. Once we arrived at The Lodge we were directed downstairs to Maggie’s. There was still outdoor seating available on the deck. Everyone who was there for lunch was sitting out on the deck even though it was a bit chilly. The view was that tremendous. There was only one server for the tables, which caused the service to be a bit slow, but it was worth the wait.
The beet salad, tomato soup with grilled cheese, and burger were all phenomenal. The grilled cheese was made with a goat cheese that was a different take than your typical grilled cheese. It worked perfect with the tomato soup, which was delicious. It was definitely our favorite part of the meal.
After the lunch we played pool inside in the bar, which was a rustic décor. I could have spent the entire afternoon relaxing by either of their two fireplaces.
If you are up in the area, stopping here is a must!

The «pub» is in a hotel for the well heeled ($ 600/​night on the low end), but the pub/​restaurant are open for all. The menu for Maggie’s was definitely not pub food but is very good.
We shared a couple of glasses of average Oregon pinot noir. Cauliflower soup was surprisingly tangy/​tart, and the wedge salad’s dressing was also a little tangy for my taste — but both were still good… the chef seems to like above-​average acidity in a finished dish.
Beef stew was delicious but not really creative or worth the price tag; chicken over smoked polenta was good but not stellar. Everything is priced about 25−30% higher than you’d pay in most other places, I’m assuming because the hotel is clearly top notch and the setting is Adirondack chic — the room itself is really enjoyable.
The service is where it fell apart. We were introduced to one server who said she and another server would be «taking care of us,» but then a new server started to take our orders. After she asked if we’d like more wine, she never returned to take the order. We waited literally about 15 minutes after finishing the meal and not a single server was to be seen. I eventually got up an asked the host David if we could have the check. He was consistently friendly.
Overall, a neat ADK experience. Two glasses of wine, two apps, two entrees before tip was $ 130. It MIGHT have been worth it if servers were available and prompt, which was not the case. I’d sooner return just to see the room and have a drink at the bar.

Arrived late on a Sunday night as the kitchen was closing. Bartender was very friendly and went to check if they wouldn’t mind making us something. Ended up eating and drinking on the beautiful deck overlooking the lake. The food was pretty good, but the cocktails were absolutely excellent.

After a long, cold day of skiing this is perfect spot to snuggle on a comfy couch near the fire ! Split an appetizer, the pork butt was amazing. Very good drink selection too! Highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to stay at the hotel next time it’s worth the price!

We came here for our NYE dinner instead of splurging at Artisans (the restaurant in the lodge). The atmosphere was good, although the bartender seemed pretty grumpy. This place is expensive so be prepared to spend some money — our dinner of a cheese board, caesar salad, meat spaghetti and two rounds of drinks was $ 145 for two people. Interesting drink menu, great décor and awesome setting (billiards, other games and fireplace seating). Would definitely come back here again!

Maggie’s Pub was wonderful. If you’re lucky in season, you might score a table outside and enjoy the view. It was a bit cool on the night we were there so we ate inside. Pre Fix menu was $ 34 each. Very nice, nothing special. But the ambience was wonderful and they had live acoustic music. No one was in Artisan’s next door where the prices were much higher but the pub was packed. Definitely worth having a drink at the bar and then touring the lodge afterwards. I suppose the only downside to the evening was there an awful lot of pretentous MD’s in attendance who had been at a conference at the Lodge and were anxious to talk about their $ and try and try and outspend each other with wine. But that’s the way of many of the wealthy. Too bad they don’t realize what pretentious twits they are. But then twits attract other twits so they are happy.
By the way, I really wish I could stay here. The reviews for the hotel are fantastic. But oh my, the place is so pricey. We stayed at a cute little place right around the corner called the Garden Cottage which used to be the old smoking gazebo for «fine gentleman» of a different era for one of the grand hotels here. But oh my, the prices at the Lodge. ..

If you are in a rush, don’t eat here. If you want one of the best views in all of Lake Placid while eating a leisurely lunch, eat here. This is the type of restaurant where you come for the view, not the food. My wife has ordered beet salads from one coast of the country to the other and she was disappointed by the version served here. The few beets that were served on the greens were tasteless and some of the greens were limp. I had the turkey and bacon sandwich which was good but a little pricey for what it was. Bottom line: Come here and pay willingly for the view — just don’t expect great food or speedy service.

Best meal in Lake placid so far. Cocktails expensive but so worth it if you like good liqueur. Once my wallet recovers I will be there again! Loved it!

On this night in the pub, very disappointed. Service not up to basic restaurant skills. New owners seem to have brought in undertrained staff. Overdone steak. One person’s steak twice the size of another’s same order! Wrong meal without apology. no silverware for desserts, did not notice. And slow.

Have enjoyed several meals at Maggie’s. Not exactly vegetarian-​friendly but they do their best to accommodate. Had one meal where tiny pieces of pork were in a sauce that was an oversight but generally you can find meals to eat. The beet salad is absolutely delicious and the egg ravioli are also intriguing with the wild mushrooms. Friends have enjoyed their steak dinners and other meals with meat with no complaints. What truly makes Maggie’s worth the visit, however, is the atmosphere and the wait staff who are all colorful and willing to do what it takes to make your evening spectacular. Their knowledge of the local area and the Lodge also help to create a certain magic to your evening. Lastly, the cocktails… while pricey at $ 15 each on average, they are worth treating yourself on. Special concoctions that will have you begging the bartender for the secret behind the mix… Enjoy!

Had a great time at Maggie’s pub, perfectly cooked medium rare burger, great fries, a nice braised lamb dish with root veggies and gnocchi, Dessert we probably should have ordered something else the pecan brittle and gelato thing was only good and the lamb portion was a bit small but still awesome place to hang out shoot a game of pool have a pint and enjoy a great meal with phenomenal service.

The place you must visit!!!
Yes, hotel is expensive, but outside visitors are welcome to hit Maggie’s pub– downstairs in hotel.
So cozy, ambience is great. Employees are super nice and friendly.
Food– delicious.
We ordered the cheese plate for $ 26 when we went the year before and they baked me a whole loaf of the fruit n nut bread that came with the plate to take home for $ 20 – 25. The best bread I ever ate.
This time March 2013, we split the fish n chips for $ 16. Huge portion. Fresh Cod. Light batter. Delicious fries. Just perfect.
They didn’t even charge a split fee– like at most restaurants.
I will definitely be back. #1 spot in LP for sure.
I also love that this place is casual, yet totally romantic.

OK — the best kept secret in Lake Placid. Maggie’s Pub is tucked into the Lake Placid Lodge, one of the top rated hotels in the country. The food is not posh and the environment is far from snooty; probably more down to earth than some of the other restaurants in the area.
Menu is traditional American with such fare as crab cakes with fresh avocado, steak frites, black angus burger with caramelized onions, seared salmon on a white bean salad w/​bacon and cilantro, and… warm sticky toffee cake.
Environment is amazing; like being in one of the great Adirondack camps from the past. Tons of wood, hand crafted furniture, hand blown glassware, fireplaces made from stone from local artisans. And then there are the views from either inside or out! — absolutely amazing; all for $ 14 for main course??? Tell them to raise their prices!
Service is very personable; the wait staff are truly interested in you and your experience. They love hearing your likes and dislikes to make sure whatever you order is to your liking. The chef rocks; totally accommodating and brilliant; plus he looks like Liam Neeson crossed with Tom Cruise.
Oh, then there is the bar with some of the best cocktails outside of New York City; had crafted to scrumptiousdidiliyumptious! The wine list is off the hook too; one night I was there and they showed me the cellar/​cave; wow…
Anyway, I hear the hotel is like $ 700 a night and so I thought this would be too up-​nose for me but I was wrong, one of the best kept secrets in Lake Placid; Maggie’ Pub is the real deal.
