Saranac Sourdough Reviews

It takes a special kind of bad for me to review a place online, and this was it. Got sandwiches to go, six different kinds, and all were inedible. Breads all stale and hard as a rock. Fillings tasted old. We threw the bread out and tried to satisfy our hunger on the meats inside. Didn't work. Been a long time since I felt a restuarant was a complete waste of money, but this was it. On top of it the woman behind the counter was being abusive to her staff and customers. Serious attitude problem. Do NOT go here.

Great food prepared in house. Eat in or take out breakfast, lunch, or bread.

Literally anything you eat here will be great. The food is AWESOME

Had a great short stack of sourdough pancakes. Felt a little stupid for missing the order here sign but in my defense no one was right behind the counter and the note didn't exactly stand out.

Must stop here. Best bread anywhere. Every item executed perfectly. Wish I could take this restaurant home with me.

Dropped in here for a late breakfast. One of us had the sourdough pancakes which were epic. I went for one with New York rye which was also seriously good bread.

This place is so good! We went for breakfast and were very satisfied. Didn t have crazy diner size portions and it was quality food. Also got sandwiches to go for lunch and they were just as good!

A great spot to get breakfast. Eveything on my plate was delicious. Definitely get yourself a loaf of bread while you're there!

I always stop here for lunch when I'm in town. The jerk chicken sandwich is one of my favorites. Just order what you want, worry about paying after you've had your fill.

Authentic breads from all over made right in the shop along with cookies, great salads & so much more. There are wonderful paintings of the adironacs on the walls painted by local painters for sale. The cliental are naive & very helpful.

Good solid breakfast location with bottomless coffee. Quaint indoor, would recommend and try again. Price is a bit high for the portion size. For example, their bagels were good, however, they were on the small size.

Consistently good food, since they opened their doors. This place always has delicious soups, homemade breads, salads and specials. The price is very reasonable and they even keep carafes of cold water in the cooler that you can help yourself to, or treat yourself to an Orangina or sparkling water of your choice. Yes, the owners don't trip over themselves when they talk with you, but they are consistent hardworking and I find them charming real folks...not fakes. A great value for the money. Try them for breakfast too, you won't be disappointed!

We stopped here for lunch while touring Lake Placid. We try to only eat non processed foods, and this restaurant was perfect. From the homemade bread, to the meat prepared on site, the whole meal was satisfying and delicious. The sandwiches were tasty and filling, and the homemade soup was excellent. Our family will be returning to the area, and will eat here again.

great breakfast sandwiches! everything is made in house

Food was not that good combined with small portions. We took ours to go as the interior could definitely use a cleaning, refreshening, and brightening up. I do not plan on going back.

Cozy little place with best bread and delicious lunch menu.

Very tasty, good breakfast before hiking, not madly expensive. Breakfast menu not up on the wall, so ask for it! Try the rye bread.

great sandwiches and soups always have lunch there while in placid

The Italian Muffaletta sandwich was excellent. Ordered it grilled panini-style on their semolina yeast bread rather than cold as listed on the menu.

Rustic spot with great breakfast on amazing site made breads. We always leave with an extra loaf or two for later. Good coffee too!

Such a hidden gem, their brunch was amazing everything was fresh: eggs, baked potato and hash. Then with their breads you get a wide assortment, i went with rosemary olive oil

Went for breakfast. It's seat yourself. Food is organic & farm fresh like no other place in lake placid. Practically locked the plate clean!

I loved this place. The bread and sandwiches were excellent. However, I was there in October and it is now permanently closed.

Have subscribed to Saranac Sourdough's bread delivery program -- best move I've ever made! When the two loaves appear on our doorstep once a week, I feel like a kid who's just been visited by Santa Claus. Incredibly fresh and delicious...sometimes still warm in the bag! Thank you, Eileen and John, for providing sunshine, smiles and old-fashioned goodness during this trying time !!

Literally picked two sandwiches at random and they were amazing!!!! If you are in Lake Placid, you have to visit Saranac Sourdough! The bread was so delicious!!

Grumpy service and food nothing to write home about.

Delicious homemade food, highly recommended.
If you out for lunch in town go to Saranac Sourdough, get any soup of the day , always good. And grilled vegetables sandwiches with Goat cheese on black olives bread, always delicious.

Always our breakfast stop when we are in Lake Placid! The sourdough pancakes are one of a kind and the croque madam is divine! My favorite breakfast in the world!

Fantastic two egg breakfast sandwich on a dozen choices of fresh baked bread. Bacon was perfect. Was worth worth the stop for me. Really nice rustic Adirondack atmosphere inside.

Bread is excellent. Staff was not just unfriendly, but downright rude when we visited. We will not be returning.

Delicious homade bread, sandwiches & salads. I had pork loin lettuce tomato mayo on whole wheat. Daughter had roast beef & cheddar on Italian bread. Also took breakfast to go: favorite was scrambled egg, bacon & pancake. Yum! Coming back!!

Average food for average prices. We would have rated this higher if they hadn't gotten my order completely wrong, despite us being the only customers at the time.

Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast! All five of our party tried something different and loved it. The real maple syrup was a nice touch. The farm fresh eggs were delicious. The kids books were fun to read while waiting for our food.

Great selection of sandwiches and breads. Excellent soups.

We had some above-average sandwiches at Saranac sourdough. Two major downsides - we waited 45 minutes for them, and they were on the small side for their price. Not bad quality food, and the restaurant ambience is nice. But the service was on the weak side; we entertained ourselves watching the chaos behind the counter while the minutes ticked away. Seriously - 45 minutes for a couple BLTs and cheesesteak after the rush? As another user noted, the woman behind the counter has an attitude - mostly directed at the cooks behind her, but a couple customers got a dose of her snappishness as well.

Raisin bread was terrible, Italian bread tasted like it was made a week ago it s almost as hard as my maple baseball bat, potato bread was good. Service, poor. Never going back.

Just stopped by and had the Thai Chicken Breast sub, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The Thai Chicken was spicy but not overwhelming so, just enough to keep your mouth warm without drowning out the other wonderful flavors. The bread it delicious and fresh. My fiance had the Mediterranean Veggie and loved it! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Great deli for sour dough fans with other options as well.

Used to love this place........not anymore. Placed a takeout order this morning & felt like we were just a problem for them. Very unfriendly last 2 times in. We ordered Adirondack flapjacks which were ok until I got to the bottom one which was black. Really not cool hideing a burnt pancake on the bottom of a stack. I guess they figured it was to go & who cares.
