 | |  |  | Tail 'O The Pup: Old Fashioned Roadside Dining | Satisfaction:      |  |  | |  |
This place is a real throwback to the 1930's, which is probably when it was built. Along Route 86 between Plake Placid and Saranac Lake is this old-fashioned roadside motel and rest-stop. The cabins are actually still for rent, for one night or more and the restaurant serves American specialities in an open-air environment with live music most days of the week. You'll be served by college kids who are friendly, if inexperienced. There are tents covering most of the picnic tables, in case of bad weather, as well as small playgrounds adn other entertainment for kids, who will no doubt run all around the place while the adults are enjoying their meals. It's also a popular motorcycle tour desination, so be prepared for a lot of hogs! Going here is fun, but also a little sad. It reminds me of how completely franchised most of the country has become. It used to be you could see these local haunts all over, as you crossed from town to town. Now, it's all truck stops, convenience stores, Starbucks and fast-food dives. Enjoy!
BBQ rib or BBQ chicken dinners are a great value and very tasty with a beer or an ice cold margarita to wash it down. There are also good char-broiled burgers and hotdogs.
