Adirondack General Store Reviews | Adirondack Restaurants & Bars

Love this place. A local gem. Â We get the sweet potato pancakes every year when we come up. Yeah, the coffee could be better, but once you try those pancakes you'll be sold. Â Friendly staff, great local flavor. Â Worth the occasional wait for one of their few tables.

Went here again for breakfast, had the Adirondacker which was good. Coffee however tasted like water. Owner was friendlier. Best breakfast in the south part of the lake.

Not only does this historic store have a good selection of the usual Adirondack-area souvenir shirts, knick-knacks , books, etc., but they also sell some of the food & drink necessities you'd expect to find in a convenience store. But they don't stop there -- they also have a room with several tables where they serve very nice breakfasts & lunches. The scenic drive to get there from the towns of Schroon Lake and Pottersville is worth the trip alone.

Owners are especially friendly to locals, mainly the Schroon Lake Homeowners. I've always thought they're talkative and outgoing.

Their deli is a little pricey, but great quality. They load up their hoagies with a ton of meat, and their roasted reds turn a regular Italian mix into something special. Many a boating trip's lunches were crafted by this place.

Breakfast has always been good, but I'm not a big traditional-American-breakfast food guy. I used to get their pancakes and eggs back in the day...

How does one travel to The ADK and *not* go here? There's something to say about traveling to a place with people -- a family -- that have been traveling there their entire life, and that something to say is: "I feel lucky. You get to experience the handpicked, finely curated tour of said place."

This time around... this place. Sure the old gas pumps and the fact that I'm preparing to eat breakfast in a general store has me gitty; but when I see that open, 6 inch diameter'd bowl of homemade jam on our table, that's when I'm about to give this place the business.

This is Cracker Barrel not on chain, banal-driven crack. This is the Holyfield. The Real Deal. This place has stood the test of epochs, and doesn't have to be on a freeway exit.

The journey began with "we've gotta take Jon to the general store for The Adirondacker." I went with the Adirondacker Jr. -- the same as its namesake, just one of everything instead of two pancakes, two eggs, two pieces of english muffin / toast and choice of two meats.

They happily substituted an egg for my choice of meat.

If I ever show my face around this place again, I'm just going to buy a loaf of english muffins to be the applicator of the homemade raspberry jam.

In the photo you'll see a oval sticker of "SL." I bought it at the General Store. It's my first Oval sticker. I'm proud. Amongst terrific antique posters, signs, nick-knacks, candles, toys, maps, a deli and odds & ends, there are the classic oval stickers & magnets.

Go, memorialize your trip and return again for an ideal breakfast after waking up sore from the hike the day before.
