Water park
Six Flags Great Escape, also known as The Great Escape, is a popular amusement park located in Queensbury. It offers a mix of waterslides, kiddie attractions, and thrilling rides including a classic wood coaster. Despite its size, this Six Flags location has been a local family favorite for years. Visitors can enjoy numerous thrill rides, roller coasters, and water park pools and slides.
Very nice old school Amusement park feel. Use to be storybook land. Decent rides, nice atmosphere, good family fun.

In the summer, this park may have 4 or 5 star potential. But on a Saturday in late May, with many attractions closed, low staff causing sluggish operations, and generally abysmal food options (typical for Six Flags Properties), this park sits at a solid "okay". It's not a bad place to spend an afternoon, though - but that is all you'll need to experience it all. I did appreciate some theming, especially in the Ghost Town area. There's a bit of history on display which makes the park feel more "quaint" than "small". Check it out if you're in the area but I wouldn't prioritize it over the other New England options.

We had an amazing time at Six Flags Great Escape on our visit on August 12th. As a family with a 5-year-old, a 3-year-old, and a 1-year-old, we found it to be the perfect size for our kids, though the 1-year-old was a little too young for most of the attractions. My kids absolutely loved exploring all of the little storybook houses scattered throughout the park. It was a really unique feature that kept them entertained for hours. It was also incredibly convenient that the park was within walking distance of the Great Escape Lodge, where we were staying. We're used to going to Dorney Park, and while Six Flags Great Escape is a lot smaller in comparison, you still need a full day to explore everything. My daughter and I had a blast on some of the bigger rides, like the Bobcat. We also made our way to the water park, which was a huge hit with the kids, who loved the large pirate ship play area with its two slides. They couldn't get enough of them! Our only wish is that the park and especially the water park were open a little later. There just wasn't enough time to do everything we wanted to in the water park. Next time, we'll definitely have to plan for a two-day trip to make sure we can do it all. We highly recommend Six Flags Great Escape as a fun-filled day out for families with young children!

Awesome experience!! We rather do the 3 hours drive to make it to great escape than going to our local six flags park La ronde. Easy parking, easy access, no wait time, fun staff. Only down side is the overpriced mediocre food. But they let you go in and out the park as you like so it's not a big fuss .

Our family has been visiting The Great Escape for many years. We love coming in the fall for Fright Fest. I would definitely still recommend this but it has been going downhill. The amount of characters is less, the amount of rides and activities is less. Trick or treating for the younger ones is very small. Hours open are shorter. Security are really not nice and should be looked into. Staff working with characters and doing shows were incredible, very good with drawing people in and very friendly. Concession and ride staff were also great. The train conductor was great, you could tell he enjoyed his job.

We visited Six Flags Great Escape in Queensbury, NY, with the kids, and the experience was mixed. Parking is far from the entrance with no shuttle, and tickets for our family of five would have been over $600 at the booth—twice the online price—so we had to stand in the blazing sun trying to buy them on our phones, with no benches or shade nearby. The park felt dated, some rides were in questionable condition, and lines to the rides that were worth your while were long. Certain rides also cost extra, music was extremely loud, and seating and shade were very limited. Younger kids enjoyed the kiddie rides and the new wooden roller coaster, but older kids and adults found the park small and underwhelming. Bathrooms were okay, and food and drinks were overpriced. It was supposedly Octoberfest with a giant beer mug display, and while we did not expect beer at the park, we did hope to see the German food. Apparently Octoberfest was just meant the giant beer display and blasting German folk songs, that’s it, nothing else. It seemed strange. Overall, it might work for a quick one-day trip or as part of a Lake George visit, but for the price and experience, we wouldn’t recommend a dedicated theme park trip. Perhaps it’s because we visited plenty of other theme parks and have something to compare this one to but that’s the feeling we left with.

Me and my family were having an excellent time enjoying fright night when we witnessed one of the employees treat a little child like a criminal and separate him from his family. While waiting in line for over an hour for a ride the child in front of left the line to use the restroom. When he returned it had turned 9 and the employee refused to allow him to get back in the line to join his family (after already waiting an hour) because the line has closed. Multiple employees were called over and all refused to allow this little child back in line. The lack of customer service is disheartening to say the least. If this is how children, families and customers are treated I will make sure me and my family do not come back.

Water park
The Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark offers casual suites, some with themed designs, within a resort featuring an indoor water park, arcade, and restaurants. The lodge is located near various attractions such as Birch Bark, Glen Drive-In, and Martha's Dandee Creme. The water park includes a big kid play area, three slides, a lazy river (though lacking in tubes), and a body surfing ride suitable for younger children.
Me and my family of 6 had a great time. The entire indoor park was a great time. My older kids wouldn't get out of the Lazy River and my youngest 2 loved swimming in the kiddie pool. My whole family enjoy the refreshing giant buckets of water at the top of the slides. The food at the Hurricane Bar& Grill was surprisingly great. Nothing taste frozen first or mircowave. Everything was fresh and the room my kids didn't want to leave. We played our Switch at night on one of TV. We booked the Triple Queen. Everyone had plenty space to a have dance party before bed. We will definitely be back.
Nikki G — Google review
Stayed here for business while making it fun for the kids, and overall it was a solid experience. The lodge is spacious—our room had a full kitchen, two bathrooms, and plenty of room for the family. Starbucks in the lobby is a nice perk, though it closes from 12–4, so plan accordingly. The water park was a hit with the kids, but it’s extremely loud—earmuffs are a must for little ones sensitive to noise. Forgot flip-flops? No problem, the water park store has them… but be ready for steep prices. Most things here come at a premium. Food, snacks, and coffee are expensive, and they don’t accept cash anywhere except the coin-operated washing machines (go figure). The rooms were mostly clean—microwave could use a better wipe-down—but nothing alarming. The location is convenient if you’re visiting Six Flags—it’s right across the road—but other attractions like mini-golf or ice cream require a short drive. Overall, great for a family getaway with kids, but be prepared for the higher prices and some minor inconveniences. Still, the spacious rooms and fun water park make it worth a visit.

We stayed this weekend for a soccer tournament with a group of 50 parents and kids. Both parents and kids had a great time. The rooms were adequate. The indoor water park was exceptionally fun. But the standout moment was when MaryAnn was able to help facilitate a gathering on the 2nd floor foyer for our entire group to enjoy pizza together. MaryAnn went above and beyond, and for that we thank her. The entire staff was accommodating & friendly. We will be back again next October!

We recently stayed at the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark (8/9 to 8/13) and had a wonderful family vacation. Overall, we had a great time and the kids absolutely loved it! The best part of the entire trip was the indoor water park, which was a huge hit with our whole family. Our kids are 5, 3, and 1, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. The water park was very clean and well-maintained. We felt very safe, and the lifeguards were super friendly and attentive. The staff at the resort were also incredibly accommodating and friendly. We had a slight issue with the refrigerator in our room, but as soon as we reported it, the maintenance staff was there within 20 minutes to fix it. This kind of quick service really made a difference. While we had an amazing time, there were a couple of minor things to note. The rooms could have been a little cleaner, and we found the food and other items at the resort to be a bit expensive. However, these small things didn't take away from the overall experience. We would definitely recommend the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge for any family looking for a fun and exciting getaway. The great water park and friendly staff made it a vacation we'll all remember!

Always have a great time we go every year. I do recommend, but sometimes the rooms smell like cigarettes. They are accommodating and change the room for you, but generally, a lot of of them have a Tobacco odor. The food is fantastic love the breakfast buffet and we always have a great time. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable

We have been there 2 times in the winter and fall with 2 kids under 5. All of us had a great time. Service is great and friendly. Rooms are clean, tidy and well stocked. Staff even tried to help us find our missing pony. Food is a little pricey but we were on vaca. Other options nearby if you're willing to drive off the resort area.

This was our second time staying here. We stayed from 8/24-8/26. This time was definitely a little more disappointing than the first for a couple of reasons. First we were upset that we paid for a package including the indoor water park plus the entire theme park which includes the outdoor water park, but the entire outdoor water park was closed Monday (8/25) which was our only full day there. That would have been nice to know about before purchasing the package. Next, it was very annoying that the Starbucks in the lobby was out of basically anything I asked for (oat milk, iced tea, chocolate chip muffin). Then we went down on our last night about 9:45 pm to play at the arcade. The arcade was supposed to close at 11 pm but for some reason the worker decided to close it at 10:30 so we had wasted points that we spent money on since we had a half hour less to use them than we planned. Then the vending machine on our floor (3rd floor) was broken. Also, something needs to be done about the floor in the indoor water park. It is so slippery I saw kids falling left and right in that place. It’s very dangerous. Lastly, they got rid of the inclusive breakfast buffet and now charge guests $10 per person for breakfast buffet. On the bright side, the room was pretty clean and they did replace the Johnny Rockets with a Hurricane grill & wings downstairs which was delicious and fairly priced.

We arrived at 4p and all 3 rooms were ready. They were clean but looked worn. The lights between the queen beds did not work in 2 of the rooms. The hotel staff were friendly. Starbucks was very reasonably priced. The hotel Waterpark was nice, but some rides were down. Our great grandkids loved the lazy river and surf wave. The lifeguards were spot on with safety as number one. All in all, it was a good mini vacation, even though hotel may need some updates. It was great location to Six Flags Great Escape.

The Outlets at Lake George

4.3
(2963)
Outlet mall
Nestled near Queensbury, The Outlets at Lake George are a shopper's paradise conveniently located off exit 20 of the Northway. With over 70 stores offering major manufacturers and renowned brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, and Banana Republic, visitors can enjoy great prices and a wide selection. The outlets feature free parking and pedestrian-friendly crosswalks for easy access to the four shopping centers.
Last night I went to this Lane Bryant to shop for a dress or outfit for a wedding I am going to this weekend. I was feeling down and the employee (Selena) who was assisting me with finding an outfit went above and beyond to help me. She not only pulled several dresses and outfits for me to try, she also tried to lift up my spirits and make me feel better with such kind words. She gave me a hug, we cried, it felt like she was a supportive friend and I have never met her! She deserves recognition and is a wonderful person! I can't say enough kind things!!

I'll start with the bad: the bathroom/restrooms. Not only were they old, it was absolutely disgusting. As soon as you open the doors, you can smell how gross it is in the hallway leading to the bathroom. And once inside, it was like a biohazard (won't get into gross details). but it was obvious that the place hasn't been cleaned all day. Although I had to use the bathroom, I just walked right out. So make sure you use the restroom elsewhere before coming to this place! I also don't like how the stores are all separated into different strips. You'll have to drive to one area to another for the stores you want if they're not at the same strip. The good: the deals. we were able to find a lot of things on sale that we are not able to find at other outlets. Overall, I would say just go to the specific stores you're interested in and get out of there.

The Outlets at Lake George Here’s a summary of me and my friends are saying about The Outlets at Lake George (Lake George, NY) — what works well, what to watch out for — so you can decide if it’s worth visiting. ⸻ 👍 What we like • it’s worth to mention good bargains and a wide selection of stores. For example: “Huge place, plenty of parking, … number of brands, the attractive prices … paradise for bargain hunters.”  • The complex is large and has several outlet centers close together, making for a full‑day shopping option.  • Free parking and the fact that stores are in walking distance across the site: “Parking is free and plentiful … the four outlet shopping centers are located within walking distance of each other.”  • Clean and well‑kept spaces: “For the most part, the stores are clean, well‑kept, and feature a good selection.”  • Great for a rainy day or as part of a larger Lake George visit: “We came here on a chilly day (last weekend of October)and had a good time.”  ⸻ 👎 What we caution • Traffic / congestion: Some experiences say getting into / around the site can be slow. “The traffic getting in and out can be challenging, and we sat in … traffic for about a half mile.”  • Discount levels may not always be as deep as expected: “Too spread out, the traffic on the way there was awful … and the stores are not discounted during throughout the year at all.”  • Large area means you may need to pick and choose: If you try to hit every store you might be tired. • As with many outlet malls, some stores may have limited stock or outdated styles — worth checking if you’re going in with a specific brand/item in mind. ⸻ 🔍 Verdict If you’re going with the mindset of “good outlet mall, decent deals, fun shopping side‑trip”, then yes — the Outlets at Lake George are worth it. If you’re looking for deepest possible discounts (for very specific items) and minimal travel/stress, you might want to compare with other outlet malls closer to you or check for very targeted deals.

The setting sucks. I felt like I was always about to get run over by a car. Aggressive drivers made it worse. The stores felt depressing and dark. I don't think I understand how people still enjoy outlet malls. Almost all of the stores except perhaps LL Bean are all clearly stuff made specifically for the outlet: cut poorly, lower quality, less attractive designs, etc. Why does anyone go here? Desperation for something to do on a day with bad weather?

On August 7, I Tripped on a blind raised spot on the parking lot between Banana Republic and the mirabito gas station sustaining a huge abrasion to one knee and swelling to my other knee. I Went to the outlet office for bandaid and to notify of dangerous area and it was already closed at 4 pm. I Tried calling and messaging the outlet online multiple times in the next days and weeks and never reached anyone or received a call back. Every time I visited the outlet office if it was closed even when I went during the daytime hours. I am hoping someone will reach out so I can warn of the area where I fell and so others may not be injured as I was.

home to more than 50 stores offering steep discounts on national brands and designer merchandise. We were in the area (Lake George boat tour and all, had some time in hand so came here for shopping). The four outlet shopping centers are located within walking distance of each other, so you can park once and shop all day. Parking is free and plentiful, while pedestrian crosswalks make it safe and easy to zigzag across Route 9 in search of the latest bargains. Yes, half of the stores are across the busy road so you can road is diving this outlet in two parts. It is located just off Exit 20 of the Adirondack Northway (I-87) and only two miles south of Lake George Village. Each center has public restrooms, an ATM machine, and vending machines filled with cold drinks. Tip: don’t be confused, While this entire half-mile strip is referred to as "The Outlets", there are currently four distinct centers: Adirondack Outlet Mall, French Mountain Commons, Log Jam Outlet Center and The Outlets at Lake George East and West. Spend your day perusing the miles of aisles at this massive shopping complex on State Route 9 in Lake George.

Adventure Family Fun Center

Permanently Closed
Amusement center
Event venue
Go-karting venue
Laser tag center
Adventure Family Fun Center is the ultimate destination for indoor family entertainment. It offers a wide range of attractions suitable for all ages, including outdoor go-kart track, bumper cars, laser tag, arcade games, and mini golf. The 1,000-foot outdoor go-kart track is particularly popular in the area. Located near Lake George, it's a great place for kids with well-maintained mini-golf courses and various other activities like laser tag, bumper cars, and rock climbing.
We went to Adventure Family Fun Center with our children and my oldest son’s best friend today as part of our son’s birthday present. Our youngest is autistic and we knew he probably wouldn’t tolerate wearing the vest. My husband and I had planned to take turns playing laser tag while the other person hung out with him. They offered to let him join us in the arena without the vest to explore the arena while we all played together. They even voluntarily turned the music volume down for his comfort. We had so much fun playing together and he really enjoyed checking out the arena and looking at the lights. He was full of happy squeals and giggles. To the staff of the Adventure Family Fun Center: I wanted to personally thank you so much for your kindness. It is rare that we are given the opportunity to allow our son to enjoy something in a way that’s tolerable to him. Most places are not willing to “bend the rules,” which is totally fine and we are used to taking turns. However it was a pleasant surprise and truly a blessing to be able to enjoy laser tag together. Your gesture today brought me to tears and earned you a lifetime customer.

Best place to visit if you are around Lake George especially for the kids. They have almost everything that your kids will enjoy. Mini golf, go kart and arcade games. The mini golf is awesome and well maintained course, definetly entertaining. They also have laser tag and bumper cars and even rock climbing. Employees are courteous and helpful and honest, my wallet slipped off my shorts while riding the go cart and they returned it to me with the cash untouched. Even the owner gave us free tokens that night. Great place to take your kids.

Laser tag and go karts are great. My granddaughter loves the bounce houses. Young kids enjoyed the bumper cars. There are places to sit at the snack bar area. Indoor go karts are awesome in the winter. We have never been there in the peak season but we have never had to wait long to get on the go karts or laser tag. I would imagine it gets crowded during mid summer but don't know for sure.

We will be visiting again and again. Thank you for a lovely time.

We originally drove out to go to great escape but the weather made the park shut down & honestly that was okay because We ended up finding this place & it was so much fun! They had go carts both inside & outside , a golf course, laser tag, bumper cars, bounce house, & a bunch of arcade games with tickets! The price is unbelievably cheap. The staff were so nice & all had great customer service! The only thing is that some of the games were out of order so we had to play the same ones over again. But this place is definitely a good time, with friends or family!

The place is very fun. The go karts are fun to drive and same with the staff. Arcade is pretty fun and the bumper carts/tire carts are fun too. The prices aren’t that bad for the stuff that you do there but it’s your opinion what you like. The laser tag is probably fun but never tried it. I highly suggest going to this place to have fun cause there is mini golf as well.

Glen Drive-In Theatre

4.7

Drive-in movie theater
Located in Queensbury, the Glen Drive-In Theatre offers a classic movie experience with double features shown on two digital projection screens. Moviegoers can enjoy top-notch concession stands and old-school speaker access, as well as FM reception for better audio. The drive-in provides a relaxing and entertaining atmosphere for families and even allows well-behaved pets. With affordable prices and double features every night, it's a great spot to enjoy movies under the stars in an old-time setting.
This place was an absolutely wonderful experience! It's cash only at the entrance, but you can use your card inside to purchase anything yummy you may want! Very cool experience listening through the radio and I honestly doooon't think that the speakers outside worked, but don't forget to shut your headlights off!

I haven't been in many years. Brought my daughter opening weekend. We had a really great time and the entire staff was fantastic. Didn't realize the poles no longer had those metal radios, so we rented one from the snack-shack on site. $10 is a bit steep to borrow a radio, but we still enjoyed our time here.

A really unique experience that I am grateful to have the opportunity to enjoy. The little speakers are slowly dissipating with limited spots that still have them, but there are radio stations that will play the sound for the corresponding movie directly in your vehicle. Bathrooms were functional, not the cleanest, but not terrible (we went to a kids movie with a LOT of kids present that night).

Every year I go there and enjoy watching the movie on a big outdoor screen. I actually love that place. They have friendly people that work there.

Was such a cute date night for my boyfriend and I until a family parked in our spot right up on us. The kids were tossing around a glowing football and halfway through the movie the parents started allowing the kids to URINATE right outside our vehicle. The movie was a great movie choice and the rest of the visitors were respectful. Just be careful where you park and please follow the rules to allow the proper distance between cars and for the love of god don’t be gross. This is a place where people put out chairs and blankets, don’t pee in the lawn. I had a dog with me and she was more behaved than the family next to us.

Johnny Rockets is an international chain known for serving up classic American fare in a nostalgic, retro setting. The staff at this particular location are highly praised for their exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Customers appreciate the just-right portion sizes, great taste, and friendly service at reasonable prices. Despite being short-staffed at times, the attentive servers make sure that guests' needs are met.
Nice restaurant located next to Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Water park. Ample of parking in front of the restaurant. They have a big Patio outside. Sports bar and lounge together and restaurant table on the other side. Easy entrance for hotel guest from indoor water park. They have different style Burger with many sides to choose from with extra 2 dollars. I had Double Smoked house Burger with sweet potato fries, my brother ordered Route 66 mushrooms with side cheese becon fries. Both of them are delicious. Service felt like little rush beside that everything was great.

Steak and shake is a lot better. We waited forever to get a table, they weren't that busy, plenty of help. Cool environment and decor is all the good i can say about this place . Food portions was great, but the food was gross. Milkshakes was decent. It was really expensive for the 4 of us. We got 4 meals 2 shakes for a $20 meal cost us over $70. The burgers weren't cooked, quality of food was what I get at McDonald's on an average day. All The servers acted like all the customers were an inconvenience. We paid cash, we were to get back $13 and our server put it in her pocket, until we asked for our change back. No she didn't get a tip other than she needs to pay attention to her customers. I was really excited to eat here and was sadly disappointed in the first 5 minutes and the disappointment kept coming for the entire meal

First of all, the food we ordered took over an hour to arrive, and when it did arrive finally the order was all messed up. The Hot dogs were burnt and the Milkshakes they are known for is just as good as other Fast Food places. If you are at the great escape, please save your money and skip this place.

When we first walked into Johnny Rockets, we were warmly greeted by Eric and seated right away. Lisa, or server was wonderful! We both ordered burgers and I got mine with tater tots smothered in cheese. The food came out quickly and was cooked perfectly. With a fun 50's theme, we'll definitely be back.

Please do yourself a favour and avoid this place. We went there despite all the negative reviews and boy what a mistake. It took us a full hour from the time we ordered to get served, no kidding. And that's not counting the time to get our orders taken (20 more minutes). I ordered a french toast with cream and strawberry sauce, which on paper sounds good. However it just tasted of old pork fat, the kind that's been sitting on the pan for hours. I feel sick just writing about it. My friend's order was equally disgusting. For the record I went there in November 2017.

If you like healthier fast food, consider this... You do get a side salad for a choice of sides, but the chicken sandwiches come with fried onion rings and bacon inside the sandwich. You could ask them to hold the onion rings and bacon. Also, I felt it was a little pricey for what I got. But it is near an indoor waterpark and Six Flags, so I should have expected that. On the positive side, the server was very nice. The food was decent. Not sure if I'd come back.

Coming from a person who was in the food service industry this was a sad experience. the food was good and the shakes were great as always butttt the most important part to me is that the service was lacking and it wasn't even busy there were maybe 4 family's in total and many employees standing hudling around the counter one even hovering over his phone and when we tryed to flag him down he just stared at us and then continued on his phone . Our waiter only came over to take our order he didn't check in with us or ask if we needed anything. my sister got up and went to the counter to ask for honey Mustard because our meal didn't come with it even though it was on the menu. On top of that we had to flag someone down for a box and our check and none of the 5 people at the counter could help us she said she needed to wait for our waiter to come back . I then tryed to pay for our meal with cash and was told they are card only wich would have been okay but there's no sign or note letting the customers know. Overall not the greatest experience unfortunately and it's sad because my family always loved it there.

food was good! took a long time to get it tho.. alot of people came in complaining of how long it was taking. and they took a to go order over the phone and never made it. so that guy was pretty upset after arguing with them he ended up leaving without his food. our waiter brought our check and said feel free to leave a little extra if we choose, and when we tried to pay so we could get going and our waiter had better things to do in the back I guess. so someone else cashed us out. left no tip.. 3 stars for the food. probably not going back. took pics to late lol was starving and waited 40 mins to eat so we dug right in. but had a great feel to the restuarant def felt old school kids loved it. employees were pleasant. the one pic of the hamburger is the double bacon chedder. and the other is the "2 mini" hot dog meal which as u can see is a regular hot dog cut in half.

Pizza restaurant
Farmstead Flatbread is a rustic eatery offering locally sourced American cuisine, craft brews, and live music in a charming wooded setting. The flatbreads are highly praised for their flavorful sauce and expertly cooked crust from the nearby clay oven. The Beekeeper flatbread, featuring pepperoni, jalapenos, and honey drizzle, is particularly impressive. The menu also includes a generous selection of beers and cocktails.
The pizza was some of the best we've had. Anywhere. Flavorful sauce and a wonderful crust, cooked just a few feet away in a clay oven. Watching the pizza makers, the care they took was obvious and it showed in the finished product. We had the beekeeper, which was essentially a pepperoni pizza with jalapeños and a honey drizzle, and it was im pressie how well it all melded. Beer selection was good, as were cocktail suggestions, and the server was happy to offer recommendations on everything. Definitely a must visit in Lake george.

First time stopping in, a Wednesday afternoon for a late lunch. Pizza was flavorful, I know now to ask for it to be cooked well done to avoid the soggy center of the pie. Wings were excellent. Meaty and good flavor. Lunch for 1 (draft craft beer included) ran $28 before tip. A little high in my opinion but it was worth trying out.

The Farmstead was a wonderful experience. We were there for Sunday brunch. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was excellent and portions appropriate. The only thing I could say is that the server could have been more friendly/attentive. It wasn't that busy so there really was no reason for it.

Really amazing Flatbread Pizzas made from local ingredients. They were much bigger then I was expecting. They also had a very nice selection of beers, and my wife loved her Cosmo so much she ordered a second one. They also had wings on the menu but we didn't order because we weren't hungry enough. I will definitely get some net time though cause they looked really good.

My wife and I stopped in for a soup and pizza. We arrive just before 5:00 and were seated right next to the pizza oven. We had a great time watching the pizza chef's (Dan & Don), they were entertaining and nice to talk with. After being seated and placing our order we wandered upstairs to the gift shop. They let us know when our soup was served. Our waitress Sue and the others were very friendly and we enjoyed talking to them as well. The soup and pizza were great as was the selection of beer. Being placed near the pizza oven wasn't only nice for friendly conversation but also nice and warm with the wood fire being around 500 degrees according to chef Dan. We will be back again soon for the garlic parmesan wings & fried brussel sprouts.

This is our must stop restaurant when driving back home to Jersey. I'd recommend if you're driving passed it you might as well make the detour the flatbread pizzas are well worth the stop.

Great food and atmosphere for Sunday brunch. The live band was awesome and is there every Sunday. We might drive back every Sunday from Long Island... it's that good

Great food. Amazing wings (coming from a native Buffalonian). Server was slow and we ended up getting our own drinks from the bar but food made up for it.

Chinese restaurant
If you're on the hunt for a buffet that truly satisfies, look no further than 9 Dragons. This vibrant establishment offers an impressive array of both hot and cold entrees, catering to all taste buds with options ranging from spicy dishes to milder selections featuring beef, chicken, pork, and a delightful assortment of shrimp. Guests can enjoy refreshing beverages like Coke alongside their meals or opt for water.
Only $12.99 for lunch buffet everyday except Sunday. The food is fresh and tasty. Vegetables are beautiful. Peel em and eat em shrimp. All you can eat. Have eaten here dozens of times. I've never gotten sick. My entire family likes this place. As well as my friends.they also have sushi, fruit, salads, desserts. You'll really enjoy this restaurant.

I never been to this establishment before today and I am unlikely to go again. I was on my way to another restaurant before their sign caught my eye. There was a big free parking lot. I went during the lunch hour. No where did the sign mention that this place is a buffet. I walked in and everyone working was wearing masks. The woman who greeted me asked how many I said one she walked around from the register to the back where I could not see her then I heard a soft spoken voice to follow. I turned my head to the left and peered behind the wall to my left and the woman asked me what I wanted to drink as I followed her to the soda machine. I thought I was being escorted to a table. I realized then it was a buffet. I asked if I could sit anywhere and she said no; I set your table back there. Where? The first table… I walked back dropped off my things and the woman brought my soda I said thank you but she didn’t respond just walked away. I proceeded to the food court. There was a big selection. Multiple soups to choose from. Multiple entrees. Most of the food was lukewarm. It was tasty. They also had sushi. Which I thought was interesting and appreciated. The place was clean. There was a section to the right of the entrance where multiple staff were peeling string beans. I really enjoyed the help yourself hard ice creams which was the best part of the meal by far. The woman brought me the bill without my asking and I got up to pay at the register. All in all the experience was mediocre at best. The food was okay but not exceptional. The rude nature of the workers makes me not want to bring my family and I would never recommend this place in the peak season if they can’t put a smile on their faces for the post season. There is an option to take food to go. I saw someone do it while I was there. They weigh the food on a scale. Which made little sense to me being if you eat at the restaurant it’s all you can eat.

love asian buffets, this was was ok. main complaint was the food for the chicken section was cold and some of the meats (wings, meat on sticks uh not sure what they called dang) were rather hard/tough, but on my second round seems like they warmed it up. their vegetable options are great for our friend who only eats meat on certain days. lunch special as of this writing is 13.90 which is a phenomenal deal. interesting thing is they give you the check without prompting them, even though there's no specific time limit that i'm aware of, i suppose that's their notion to kick you out soon and they will peek at your receipts prior to you leaving lel. no ones rude or mean but i just found that part to be a bit odd.

This Chinese buffet offers plenty of options, from a full salad bar to a dessert bar, so there’s something for everyone. The food was very delicious, fresh, and flavorful, and the service was excellent throughout our visit. It’s also a great spot to bring kids, since there are so many choices. Prices are very reasonable for the variety you get, and the large parking lot makes it easy and convenient. Overall, a great choice for a family-friendly meal.

Food was OK. For a quick Chinese fix, this will do. Some of the food was cold and very lukewarm close to cold. Other foods were warm and good, like the honey chicken. So, anything cold that should be warm definitely impacts the review. The lo mein was one that was cold. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great either. I didn’t like that they quietly and automatically added the tip to your bill without telling you and then when you are giving the credit card receipt to sign, they expect ANOTHER tip. So, beware of your bill. Would I go again? It’s a 50/50 toss up.

Really want to like this place. The food taste is there. Good options. Not too many, but what's there is legit. Atmosphere is nice, service fine. However, please please read the other reviews and turn your heat up on the food tables! The food is just a notch above room temperature. It would be so much more tasty is the food was hot! Also, more salad bar options.

33 in or party. Made reservations for 25. The waitress blow a gasket. It wasn't that they were busy. We felt she just couldn't handle the adjustments. She displayed aggressive behavior. Till mamason came out and took control. The rest of the evening we never say the other girl.
