Hi, and welcome back to another Lake Placid Burger Review! This series is winding down, and we only have a few restaurants left! In this series, Parker Thompson and I, Cody Betsch, review all of the burger spots in Lake Placid and give completely honest reviews. Today, Parker and I will take on The Dancing Bears. The Dancing Bears has already been reviewed by a Northwood Alum, Mithcell Baker ’24, who said it was “the best burger in town.” Parker and I will be the judges of that, as we have tried almost every burger Lake Placid has to offer.

There are many options for burgers on the menu, but we went with the most basic one. The Classic Burger, priced at $19, features an 8oz patty, cheese, tomato, and onion, all served on a brioche bun. French fries come on the side.

This restaurant was by far the fanciest restaurant we had been to, and I think that the presentation of the burger shows that well. This burger is super juicy and feels really gourmet compared to many in town. It is flavorful and filling as well. Parker Thompson had high praise for this burger. “The burger is really good, the bun complements the flavors very well, and you can tell that it’s a high-quality burger”. I think Parker nailed it with this quote. It just feels really high quality. In my opinion, this would be a great spot for fancier occasions. The setting and the restaurant’s look made me feel like I was at a very fancy spot. The burger was great, and the price is pretty standard for Lake Placid. For these reasons, I gave the burger 8.2 out of 10, and Parker gave it 8.6.
