Reviews for The 1892 Bar & Grille in Lake Clear, NY
Do not let the rustic décor fool you into passing by The 1892 Bar & Grill. The Chef has created a wonderful menu and his pallet... is excellent. Almost everything of substance us sourced locally and though the price initially gave me pause, the quality provedto me I shouldn't have thought twice. Read more
I'll start with the best part - the french onion soup. If you like FOS then I'd recommend that. Had a good balance of salt... onion cheese and bread... very good! I placed a to go order. The wings folks were eating at the bar looked good uponpickup. The fries were good. Updated*** Though the first burger was overdone - they made it right and made me a perfect secondburger upon request. Thank you so much for remaking it for me, I really appreciate the customer service! Get the wings andAbsolutely get the french onion soup. The second burger I got is very good. Read more
Awesome food. I never had truffle fries before, so I can't compare them to others. But that being said they were hands down the... best fries I ever had. The smoked trout dip was delicious. And the hamburger I had was excellent. Ate outside, but the interioris very nice and inviting. Service was excellent with friendly service. Read more

Delicious food and quick service! This spot is great for a post hike meal. The truffle fries were very good, especially with the... garlic aioli. The caesar salad dressing was very refreshing and the chicken was nice and crispy. Totally worth a stop if you'rein the area! Read more
I?ve been meaning to check this place out for years. It?s just down the road and finally made the trip. TBH I went for the... truffle fries. But the special was jalapeño poppers with raspberry habanero sauce. They were amazing - fried with lightbreading and a spicy sweet sauce. I had the chipotle burger and was not disappointed. 8 ounce patty with bacon and tomato andlettuce and a nice chipotle sauce. Paid a little extra for the truffle fries and was not disappointed. Topped it off with a apatron margarita. All in all a very nice meal. The dining room is small, and a bit noisy due to all the wood paneling. Just afew tables and a bar. A couple of Adirondack quilts would absorb some sound and quiet the place nicely. Still, nice atmosphere,friendly staff, great food. The prices may seem high but we want our restaurants to stay in business so no complaints there.Small menu but that is wise from a business perspective, and there are great choices for specials. Seems like a well-runoperation. Definitely worth checking out if you find yourself out that way. And worth trip from Tupper or Saranac Lake. Read more
Only a few people besides us in the place, our waitress told the bar tender we wanted Bloody Mary's, she didn't start to make... them for 20 min, she visited with a couple at the bar instead. We received our food before our drinks. The food was good, theBloody Mary's were not, we couldn't even drink them. Our waitress apologized to us several times, when she saw we didn't get ourdrinks, and when she saw we couldn't drink them. Won't go back, which is sad because we were excited to try a new place. 1892:yes we did ask for the bloody's to be; one spicy, and one hot, which they were not. Besides that, they were not good like everyother Bloody Mary's we have ever ordered in a bar/restaurant. I can't really describe what they tasted like, it was strange. Wedeclined to have them taken off the bill because we ordered them. Read more
Great people and great food. Def legit, locally owned and operated, another great resource for the north country.
