Hi, and welcome back to another Lake Placid Burger Review. Unfortunately, this will be the final review of the series. Today, Parker and I sat down and talked about everything: price, flavor, quality, etc. We have come to our conclusions on the best burger spots in Lake Placid. We are sad to be finishing up this super fun project, but we’ve enjoyed sharing our honest opinions with the Northwood and Lake Placid communities. Here we go…
For our top 5 best overall rankings, we have:
- Noon Mark Burger and Pie Joint
- Players Sports Bar
- The Dancing Bears
- Lake Placid Pub and Brewery
- Lisa G’s

These burger spots are an absolute must if you are looking for a great burger in Lake Placid. These cover a variety of different burger types, from gourmet to smash burgers. Although some of these can be a little pricier, the quality and flavor of all of these burgers are impressive, to say the least. However, one burger was the consensus number one. That burger was Noon Mark’s. For the flavor, toppings, quality, and price, this is a must-get burger in Lake Placid.
For the cheaper options, we have Lisa G’s, Noon Mark Burger and Pie Joint, McDonald’s, Stewart’s, and for Northwood students, the Northwood Burger. Obviously, McDonald’s and Stewarts are a bit of a step down compared to most of the burgers on this list; that being said, they are by far the cheapest, coming in at under $5 each. These are great options if you are looking for a quick snack after practice or work.
Now, moving on to the restaurants. I’ve already mentioned Noon Mark, so I’m going to talk about another great burger, Lisa G’s Leburgermeister. This burger is great, coming in at just $13. The flavor and quality are unbelievable. When it comes to a cheap option for burgers in Lake Placid, you cannot beat Lisa G’s.
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Parker and I hope you enjoyed our series and that this will influence your decisions next time you want a good burger. It’s been a pleasure!
