Family of four visiting Lake George. What a great meal! The restaurant is conveniently located right on the main road and if you're not careful you'll miss it! Atmosphere is somewhat plain, but clean and the staff is very friendly. The real draw is the food. Cooked to perfection, and at reasonable proces. I had the best Filet Mignon I've... More

Great food and atmosphere. This family run business is just great. It is just 10 minutes south of the Lake George Village. The entire staff is friendly, and a very nice atmosphere in the entire place. I do suggest reservations, as it is a popular place to eat.

Jack's is a very reliable place for an excellent diner. Menu has many excellent offerings. The short ribs are wonderful. Service is always spot on. Attractive bar that seems to have many regular customers.

Stopped in here for a anniversary dinner with my wife. Very surprised by the cozy ambience provided here. Candlelit tables with whit linen place settings. Menu is small but defined with a bit of everything. Some selections offer a lighter portion if you feel you can't eat a whole meal. Menu pricing is moderate but very worth it as our... More

A great family restaurant operation continues the legacy of popular restarantuer JackGates. Very warm inviting bar and dining area. Excellent no frills menu with some halflates and comp chicken liver pâté to start you off. Locally a favorite and deservingly one of the areas most consistent dining stops.

We have never had a bad meal at Jack's. The menu has lots to offer and they usually have specials. They are open for dinner only. The liver pate and bread for starters is great! They also offer some half-size entrees on their regular menu. If you are there when the lasagna is one of the special - order it... More

You'll find plenty of restaurants in the Queensbury/Lake George area that feature the high prices and mediocre quality typical of tourist regions, soJack's in Queensbury is a really good find. The chicken liver pate served as a complemwtary starter is a very nicely flavored surprise, and the fresh bread with dipping oil is delicious. Salads are not spectacular, but made... More

We were pleased with the ambiance, service, and food at this restaurant. An unexpected and delicious pâté with chopped red onion began our meal as we awaited our delicious salad with cucumber wasabi dressing that was unusual and very flavorful. The warm bread was accompanied by a yummy olive oil dipping sauce. My shrimp francese was served with fresh spinach... More

My husband and I were looking for someplace different to dine. I suggested Jack's as I had eaten there a few years ago and had a great meal. Jack's is not much for ambience, in fact it is located in a strip mall and it shows. That being said, the menu offers a diverse select of appetizers, soup, salads and... More

We ordered sesame salmon and short ribs. Both were delicious. And the blueberry cheese cake was perfect. The only thing we did not like was the decoration...there was none.
