We were on a layover in Lake Placid on our way to Quebec. Since it was a holiday weekend, most of the establishments in the village had an hour or more wait time. This place is a little hole in the wall out in the middle of nowhere with no waiting. We had the BBQ chicken and pork sandwich with sides of fries and onion rings. For what it was worth being a place that if you didn't know about, you wouldn't (it was recommended by friends) it was delicious and well worth skipping the wait in the village.

Good solid bbq joint, total Upstate NY vibe. Unique outdoor dining with lots of menu options. Not pretentious or trying to be something it's not. Server Vladimir was very courteous & food arrived quickly. Will come back!

Overall, solid BBQ spot. If you want to set $8 on fire and eat brains then order the lobster knuckle appetizer! Ribs and chicken are solid. Corn bread very good! The sinks in the bathroom are also cool and very kid friendly environment

The wife and and were staying in lake placid from CT. We are on a motorcycle and passed by ToP and thought the place looked very authentic and dive barish, which usually has the best food. We made it a point to track this place down before we left for home. It took a bit to relocate it, but so happy we did. We got the ribs, Cole slaw, and potato salad to go. It came out quick and it was devoured in our hotel room and everything was delicious!! We had bbq twice in downtown lake placid but nothing beat this. Also the place looked very entertaining as well. We would have loved to hang out and eat there, if we hadn't to had to go back to pack.

We stopped here on our way to placid. The kids played on the playground (sanity for mom and dad who needed a break). Food was good, dogs were welcome and everyone seemed to enjoy their time there! Even the staff! Thanks for an awesome meal! We will be back.

Delicious BBQ flavor, crisp fries, mac and cheese was so good (a little flavor of beer cheese and bacon). I'm not a huge BBQ person and got the lobster roll, but when I tried my husband's ribs & chicken, I knew I should have gotten the dinner. Ribs weren't dry or tough and waffle fries were the best!

The service was quick, attentive, and very friendly. The ribs were sweet and tender enough. There was live music, one singer with a great raw voice. She sang to the customers sitting in rows of picnic benches outside under a vaguely circus looking tent with lights. This is a very family friendly and dog friendly place. The crispy burnt bits on it were delish! They ran out of the ribs right after I placed my order around 7:30, so make sure to get there early to ensure you get it! I got a side of corn bread, which you could definitely skip maybe go for the potato salad or something. It was just cold and mid at best.
