“Sports bar with good food”

My husband and I just had dinner at Players. It is a sports BAR and grille. The food was good, and it was basic sports bar food, but none the less good food. We each had a burger and each was done to perfection and the fries were nice and crispy, just the way I like them. We also shared... more

To echo the previous entry, a generally unfriendly staff- They seemed annoyed that we dared to bring our three year old daughter for a quick, early pm dinner and a folded umbrella stroller was such a nuisance to them. The food is regular old bar food, decent; However, if you are unlucky enough to not get the outside seat by... more

Poor service. Took 15 min to take drink order. When asked about a take out order they didn't accomodate, it's bar food, who can't do take out? more

Four of us had lunch at Players and each ordered different things. We were all happy with our choices. Previous poster says that the veggie burger wasn't good. I would add that I did not order the veggie burger specifically because this did not look like a place where it would be anything but a frozen prepackaged veggie burger. Instead... more

On the plus side, the staff was friendly, the food was fast and the place is right on the lake. On the negative side, the food was bad. My wife's vegi burger was cheap and generic (soy based) and my canjun chicken sandwich was dry and nothing more than an over cooked peice of chicken with some old bay on... more

My family and I went to this bar because a friend of mine suggested it. We had a nice experience, it was so nice that we went there for lunch and for dinner. The sandwiches were mouth-watering, simply delicious.They also serve besides burger, mexican food (try the nachos...). We always spend our winter vacation in Lake Placid and when we... more

I've been here for lunch a few times and had no problems. Place is small and not fancy, but it's always been clean when I was there. Food is good, reasonably priced for this area, and served promptly at the right temperature. View over Mirror Lake is great if you get a table by the windows. My experience with the... more

We went in this past weekend to catch the Yankee game. Out of 5 TV's in the place 1 way back in the corner had the game on. That caught our interest until the smell of nasty air freshener drove us out of the place. To bad! more
