The Experience

The Experience

After a long morning of making banana bread and lying on various couches in our Airbnb, we arrived at Lisa G's around 12:30. We sat outside surrounded by an orchestra of heaters which kept us plenty warm. The outdoor area didn't have great ventilation but we were the only ones out there so we felt safe enough. We also had a lovely waiter who helped us pick our orders with the kind of smooth confidence I need in my life.

The Accoutrements

I was craving wings and so we got two variants. These greek wings replaced heat with lemon zest and herbaceous seasoning. They also had the necessary wing crispiness that makes you scarf down a few in a minute's time.



The smoothly confident waiter suggested we upgrade our fries to the garlic parmesan variant and I was glad he did. They shared the crispy factor with the wings and the garlic added a nice kick.

The Main Course

I got the roasted pork and bacon sandwich. I will say I expected more of a pulled pork sandwich than deli-style meat but that's mostly cause I didn't read the menu. The onion and aioli added great flavor and helped ensure the bread didn't turn into a dry roof of the mouth damaging machine. The pork was a nice base and the bacon brought its usual delicious fattiness.

The Verdict

The meals we had in Lake Placid weren't always the most mind-blowing culinary experiences. Between Swiss Miss hot chocolate and overpriced lakeside meals, we weren't always impressed. However, relative to those experiences Lisa G's is a tier or two above. In the 2020 Lake Placid Gastronomical Olympics Lisa G's gets a gold medal and five stars to boot.
