Reviews for Barnsider Smokehouse BBQ in Lake George, NY
Best BBQ you can get hands down in the Lake George area. I got a combo plate of the BBQ chicken and the Baby Back Ribs with Mac... and Cheese and Baked Potato. The chicken was very flavorful, as was the ribs. The ribs had a good amount of meat on them andwere soft. The cornbread was one of the best cornbread I ever had. It was extremely soft and delicious. Server was extremelynice and attentive. Meal was a success after a few mediocre restaurants in Lake George. If you was a nice meal I woulddefinitely recommend coming here. Read more
It was okay. The food was pretty good but the Mac and cheese was mediocre and the sliced brisket was kind of dry. The ribs were... solid fall off the bone. The green bean fries were surprisingly very good. Main complaint, don’t expect southern bbq portions.Seems like they don’t really want to give you a lot of food, but hey it’s New York, can’t expect too much. Read more
The French onion wasn't the greatest. Other food was ok. Service was ok. Definitely needs to dust the cobwebs coming up the... stairs Read more
Didn’t even add ketchup to the Brisket burger it was so good. Definitely ask for the BBQ sauce; assuming it was homemade, as... it was a unique tangy flavor. Wife got the brisket panini with fresh cut fries which was also very good. It had some homemadeslaw on it. Macaroni And cheese was hot and fresh, definitely a solid choice. Read more
We went to Lake George to visit the Ice Castle and found this delicious BBQ joint down the street. Our food was cooked... perfectly, had the best smoked flavor and the sauce was the perfect blend of sweet, tangy with enough of a bite to enjoy it, butnot overpowering the rest and biting back - so good! The mac&cheese was amazing too. Oh! And please save room for a pan-bakedchocolate chip cookie with ice cream. It is worth it, Heavenly! We also liked the size of the environment. It was busy butdidn't feel crowded. We felt very safe. The staff were publicly following all COVID safety precautions and guests were seatedwith space between the tables of other patrons. Plan an Ice Castle and dinner at Barnsider day-trip and you won't bedisappointed. Read more
I don’t leave reviews until I am compelled to. Contrary to other reviews , the waitresses along with the owner (she appeared... to be ) were very attentive. They were responding very quick. We had Jamaican Jerk Wings for appetizer. They were great. I wasalready excited about what’s next. The main course took a little while and this is where things went down hill. My HalfChicken Dinner came raw. Plz see the pic. My wife’s burger was OK. It was just bleh. It felt as if it was rushed to the table(you can smell the freezer stench) The cold fries tasted great compare to the other two items. And no utensils were given to eatMac and Cheese. No forks. No Spoons. The corn bread was soggy and cold. Would I come here again ? Yea for the wings and that’sit. Maybe it was just tonight that they were very busy and under staffed ? Who knows. Read more
We stopped here because we love BBQ and also because we still have our concerns about COVID and try to always eat at restaurants... with outdoor seating. It was slightly chilly outside but they had small fire pits spread out amongst the tables. The service wasexcellent and the food was delicious. Sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy and sweet. French onion soup felt like it waslacking a little flavor but I'm also very picky. The burger with brisket was delicious although sloppy to eat so ask for extranapkins. Read more
Every time I eat here, it never fails to amaze. Anything you order will be fantastic. Last visit we split 5 different... appetizers, all of them delicious. The chopped brisket poutine really stood out, deep fried cheese curds, savory gravy, tendersmokey brisket, crispy yet pillowy fries. If you are in the area, highly recommend stopping in to eat.
