    Highly recommend this restaurant. We stay in Lake Placid frequently but usually make the short trip to Saranac to go to The Campfire Adirondack Grill Restaurant. As usual we thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambience at our most recent visit.

    We have come to Saranac Lake a number of times over the years and tried a few local restaurants, but none compare to Campfire Grill. We dined at this restaurant last year around this time (we often take an anniversary trip to the Adirondacks) but found that its quality (uneven) and service (slow) were not up to the standard we hped for. This year, the food, service, and overall experience were excellent, so much so, we ate here 4 nights in a row and also enjoyed 3 breakfasts during our stay at the hotel. We tried many dishes, including the pork chop (superb), salmon (beautifully seasoned and accompanied by a lovely creole sauce), and meatloaf (the best my husband, a meat-eater, ever had). Salad offerings could be improved, and not all desserts were as good as they could be. We were served by different servers on different days, so we can’t name each, but they were all personable, engaging, and highly efficient. The chef, Christian, has a genius for flavors - they infuse all his dishes, especially the meats and fish.

    Apps were good! The lunches were soggy by the time they eventually got there. The service was extremely slow even though there was basically no one there for lunch. Took over 30 minutes to get orders in due to waitstaff just blatantly not coming over.

    We had the Salmon and Pork Chop dishes and they were both excellent - the Pork was among the most tender and juicy we have ever had. Our Server was excellent and helped guide us to our choices. Overall it was a memorable experience.

    We were supposed to sit at the counter but they moved us to a larger table which was great! The wings and pork appetizers were really good, highly recommend! Our group all enjoyed our meals and service! Definitely recommend!

    First time in Saranac Lake for Winter Carnival. Wonderful service from Sadie, who also crafted our after-dinner cocktails. My wife’s steak was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The beef/game burger was delicious! Nice selection of local beers plus wines and liquor.

    Online menu was very different from the real menu - the real one was larger and more diverse. Huge difference in portion sizes between our 2 entrees. My meal desperately needed salt.

    We've made it a point to come to Campfire whenever we come up to Lake Placid and have always found the food and service to be top notch for breakfast and lunch. We raved about our experiences with some travel companions and decided to go there for dinner last night. While the service and ambience were wonderful (as usual), the food was a major letdown. Our appetizer meatballs were lukewarm (but delicious) and our main courses were not up to previous standards. For example, we had many fond memories of their signature macaroni and cheese but the version that came with the fried chicken was tasteless and almost appeared to come from a Kraft box with little or no cheese. The maple vanilla ice cream was wonderful but also came partially melted. We hope that this experience was an anomaly and not indicative of changes that have been made in the kitchen. We're willing to give Campfire one more try for brunch but don't have our fingers crossed.
