Great place near the Olympic rinks. Never heard of German Onion soup but absolutely loved it. Great casual vibe with a great view of mirror lake and the mountains. Burger was great and price was reasonable for the portions.

This is a cute place if you're looking for a chill place to rest and enjoy a meal. Service was excellent and the pretzel was delicious. I also ordered some Italian wedding soup which was not bad. The shepard's pie was a bit too salty and oily for my liking and ended up making me sick but overall this was a nice restaurant to relax and people watch. The exterior is very cute and if you get seated outdoors, they have heaters underneath the roof to keep you warm.

My husband and I went on vacation for a quick weekend get away to the Adirondacks! After a long day of hiking we went into town to recharge and refuel and stumbled upon this gem of a Buffalo themed backer bar! Of course being from Buffalo we had to dine here!! We walked in on a busy Friday night and were seated outside on the patio immediately! The patio overlooked the Adirondack high peaks and beautiful lakes! While it was mostly dark out you could still see the outline of the mountains and see the light off the lake which made it feel all more romantic! We ordered a beer and hard cider to celebrate a hard day of hiking and amazing trip and placed our orders! I ordered a chicken wrap that had avocado, bacon, lettuce, and tomato on it drenched in chipotle aioli which was to die for paired with the most tender and marinated chicken I've had in a wrap in a long time! On top of this it was wrapped in a garlic wrap which just added to the dish and added great flavor! It was topped with a bunch of fries that really hit the spot! My husband ordered a burger which was stacked high with all the fixings! The food was tasty and the service was impressive for a busy Friday night! I definitely enjoyed the night and recommended this place to anyone looking for a great place with even better food! I definitely will visit generations again when back in town!

Location was great, outdoor seating, has a great view. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Food was OK, was a little bummed that when I had ordered the gluten-free eggs Benedict they didn't mention that the hollandaise sauce had gluten so wouldn't be on it, so paid for eggs and toast and ham.

After a long morning of driving and visiting Little Whiteface Mountain, I was looking for a family friendly restaurant for a late lunch for my family. I've been to Lake Placid pre-children so only tried a couple restaurants before. We decided to stop in at Generations on the strip of Main Street. We were greeted by the friendly host and sat down without any wait time. We sat in booth which was spacious for the kids. We didn't wait long for our waiter. The waiter gave us great suggestions on menu items since it was our first time. I opted for appetizer instead of entree for myself. My husband order appetizers and entree and the kids order off the kids menu. I started off with a strawberry and mango margarita. It was definitely worth the money lol strong and flavor forward. We ordered three appetizers Taproom Calamari, Buds & Spuds and Maple Chipotle Wings. We loved the calamari, perfectly battered and crispy and not rubbery. I like that the tentacles were included as well, the chipotle aioli was a good accompaniment. I picked out the Buds & Spuds since it sounded interesting. It was deep fried Brussels sprouts, ricotta & potato gnocchi, tossed in truffle oil, bacon bits, parmesan & house rub. Finished with roasted garlic aioli. I'm a sucker for fried Brussels sprouts. This appetizer was delicious but definitely over indulgent lol. The sprouts were huge, I had to cut them. The gnocchi were pillowy and well seasoned. My husband picked the Maple Chipotle Wings. We loved them as well, they were crispy and the flavor of the maple chipotle was so good. You can order bone in, boneless or cauliflower wings and choose from their handful of sauce/rubs. For an entree the waiter suggested the Thunderbird for my husband. It was buttermilk marinated chicken breast, deep-fried and tossed in our honey garlic sriracha sauce, topped with coleslaw & thin sliced pickles. My husband enjoyed it, he said it was still crispy even with the sauce covering it. The flavors were great. The kids had the cheese pizza and chicken tenders and fries from the kids menu. They didn't care for the pizza I guess it's not what they're use it. It had fresh mozzarella. But both enjoyed the tenders and fries. Overall my family said they would definitely come back here. I think next time we'll try their breakfast options as well. The restaurant is part of the Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort. It's not where we stayed but the entrance way to the restaurant is on Main Street.

Best breakfast in town after a long weekend of hiking! Service was good and there's outdoor seating which is a nice option. The Belgian waffle was delicious. I didn't get a photo but my husband got a giant pretzel filled with eggs, home fries and bacon. Definitely a good place to re-fuel after some time in the mountains

I love Generations' weekend brunch and their dinner. In the summer, you can sit on their outside patio and enjoy your food. They have plenty of umbrellas to block the sun too. I love their drinks, eggs, French toast and omelettes here. I also love coming here for their dinner specials. This place is conveniently located near the lake and in the village. You can easily get here from a lot of the hotels in the village. I can't wait to stop back here again soon.
