Burger Review: Player’s Sports Bar

Hello, and welcome back to another Lake Placid Burger Review. For those new here, this article features two Northwood students, Parker Thompson ‘26 and Cody Betsch ‘26, who provide candid reviews of the burger spots in town. Today, Betsch and I visited a very highly recommended restaurant: Players Sports Bar and Grill.

The size of the burger was great, and I say this a lot, but the fries were also unreal in terms of taste and texture. Also, the portion size was great! The service was timely, with the food arriving quickly, and the nonstop water refills for drinks were a bonus. To me, a hamburger is my favorite food, and after a long day of work, a big juicy burger was just the thing I needed.

“This burger was super filling with great taste, and it was almost similar to what we reviewed last week at the Pub. Another place that is up there with the town’s best.”

It does cost some good money to come and eat here, but it is worth it for the taste.

Thank you for reading this week’s review, and we hope you enjoy our next one.
