The Halfway House
With a unforgettable view from your own private balcony of Otis Mountain and the Bouquet River you will surely find your time at the Halfway House Motel relaxing. The Owners designed the Motel with a lavish touch of the Adirondacks. With custom hand crafted boards from local lumber, you will find great detail throughout each room which leaves you with a Adirondack cozy cabin feel.

While the rooms are relaxing, you must find some time to sit and relax next to the Bouquet River, which is located on the property and is just a short walk away!. The Halfway House Motel is conveniently located near Lake Placid and Plattsburgh. If you wish to lay lake side for a day, Lincoln Pond is only a five minute drive and Lake Champlain is a scenic ten minute drive!

Interesting place, nice experience. Wings xtra crispy came out perfect. Service was a little slow, but they were short staffed. Wing hot sauce was nothing signature, Frank's. Seems like a locals spot, but welcoming to all.

No hassle check in. Restaurant and bar right next door. New construction with rustic vibe. 5 minutes from RPR trail head is awesome

Nice building. Love the free music and game room. Stale draft beer. Food can be good but inconsistent. Not friendly management.

The motel was recently built and everything is in excellent condition and comfortable. This was the best sleep I have had lately. If the motel were being rated by itself, the current average of 3.2 stars is way too low.
The restaurant serves very good food, but the appetizer took half an hour and the entree was another 15 minutes. By American standards, this is just flat out too slow, as others have pointed out. For this reason, if I were rating the restaurant, it would be lower.

Been there 3 times. First time ok. Second time not so good. Apps came out with dinner. Third time sandwich ok, service not. Bartender didn't speak English good, couldn't understand her, she didn't know how to make a rum and coke. Got bread after we got our meal. Customers at bar waited a good ten minutes to get served. Will not be going back.

The Halfway House is a fantastic restaurant, bar, game room, in the heart of the Adirondacks. They have a free game room (pool table, shuffle board, etc.) that you will enjoy for hours. The food is great! I've had many meals there and the dinners are very tasty indeed. Maybe some naysayers on other Google reviews were there on a bad night? Great wings and beer, games, television and great service. I sincerely feel you will have a really good time there! Try it, you'll like it!

Reuben and burgers great. Really a pleasant surprise driving home from Montreal. Very close to highway 87. They have free jute box, pool table, darts,etc. Decent drink selection. Family run business- great service. We were traveling in the winter with our dog. They allow pets in the dog restaurant/ how nice when it's so cold. Also they are building a hotel next door.

We stopped here for lunch on the way to Vermont. I was very excited to find this place, easy on and off to Route 87, great food, great atmosphere and great people. I actually left my favorite shirt there and after realizing it a week later, I called - not only did they still have it but they took the time to ship in back to me in NJ. Needless to say - we will be back!

I came here while in the Dacks camping 2x and had decent meals here. the last time I had the hot open turkey with cheese and it was good. I like the atmosphere and the owner Steve is friendly guy who cares about his place..the locals like to hang there and have their beer and food the place is upbeat I would eat there again. Give it a shot ull like it.

We were on a motorcycle ride from Lake Champlain Upstate Vermont to Lake George via Route 9. We were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant halfway down Route 9. So we stopped in to have something to eat and found the food to be excellent would recommend this to a friend. Very friendly.

Visited this "restaurant" with 2 friends on the way back home from Montreal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, but the positives ended there unfortunately.

First, the service is SLOW! The restaurant was completely empty when we were seated, but it took a good 30 minutes before we were served bread, then another 25 minutes for our salads, and over 30 minutes later our entrees came out.

The food was not worth the wait. Salmon burnt to a crisp and not edible with Uncle Ben's rice. Chicken parm with burnt cheese and tasteless pasta. "Stuffed" shrimp that was gray and

Stopped here when desperate for lunch Thanksgiving Day while on our way down to the ferry to Vermont. Beggars can't be choosers, and so we weren't expecting much from this off-the-main-road-side pub and restaurant.

We had called ahead to make sure they were open, and were told they were serving their special Thanksgiving buffet dinner. When I was going to hang up telling the nice lady that we really only wanted a sandwich or burger (our Thanksgiving dinner was coming later), she checked to see that we could order off the regular menu. So on we came, happy for whatever we could get

We went here yesterday with a large group. Most got summer salads with some kind of meat - chicken, shrimp or scallops. A couple got sandwiches. Everything was excellent - service, food, atmosphere - but I only give them 4 stars because the salads were too small for a meal. They included delicious, homemade bread and the sandwiches were plenty big - we actually ended up sharing them. But be warned about the salads - bery good, but over-priced and not enough for a meal.

Amazing surprise on a late drive back from Ausable Chasm. The food and service were impeccable - we'll be returning soon. I strongly recommend you stop in as well. Exit 31 from the north or Exit 30 from the south, just follow U.S. 9 and you'll find it on the East side of 9. FRESH food and good people make this a winner. I had the Costa Rican Sauté with rice and carrots , and the seafood was better than anywhere I ever ate in Florida. Our family can also strongly recommend the burgers, honey glazed chicken, and the fresh fish special with mango-ginger tapenade. Sooooooo delicious

We went here last night and loved the place. We live locally and are happy to find another local Resturant we can recommend to our friends. The service, food, and atmosphere was excellent. We had a relaxing evening with our friends. I would recommend that everyone try this place.
