    For vegetarians, the Adirondack BBQ Tacos with smoked tofu were decadent. Drizzle the habanero BBQ sauce on top and pair with the Blackberry Moonshine Margarita. Highly recommend this place!

    Really excellent BBQ. They were doing a buffet so we tried everything. The burnt ends were phenomenal. Wings were good too, the spicy BBQ wings were my favorite. Brisket and ribs were okay.

    The hostesses were extremely rude & unwelcoming. No reservations so put your name down and wonder main st. The vegetable tour is a tasty "healthy" option but the southwest salad was even more delish!

    Smoked Meatfest. Brisket, ribs and pulled pork. The sides were all good. The margarita very tasty. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. And we got rewarded with a 🌈.

    Chicken wings! Dry rub is delicious. I’d post a picture but I was busy eating. Here’s a picture of some beer.

    I had burnt ends tacos and I don't think I've ever had a better taco in my life! Normally you go home and warm up your leftovers and they aren't good anymore. Not these-they were still delicious!

    This was one of the best meals I've ever had, hands down. The Signals Sampler...my god. Just go there. Eat everything. Get fat. Incredible...

    Been here 5+ times
    The ribs are very good and the food comes out fairly quickly. One downside is that you need to go to the restaurant in person to be added to the waitlist.

    The service is impeccable, and the food even better. The platter for 2 is more like for 3-4 and delicious (brisket is the highlight). A+

    The French Dip Brisket was delicious. And the Mac and cheese. And the White Out for dessert. Overall, best restaurant we have hit in Lake Placid.

    While ostensibly a BBQ joint (and a very good one) I found the best dish on the menu was the shrimp and grits
