Pitkin’s Restaurant in Schroon Lake

One of our favorite places for American classics served in a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere.

If Rory and Lorelai Gilmore moved to the Adirondacks, Pitkin's would undoubtedly be a favorite haunt. Luckily, you don’t have to be a “Gilmore Girls” fan to appreciate Pitkin’s Restaurant in downtown Schroon Lake.

Pitkin’s charming dining room.

Established in 1907, Pitkin’s has been serving delicious, comforting, homemade breakfasts, lunches, and dinners to the Schroon Lake community and Adirondack visitors for over 100 years.

Begin your day with Pitkin’s time-honored specialties like sausage with biscuits and gravy, hot-off-the-griddle options of the pancake and french toast variety, a whole assortment of egg dishes and sandwiches, and even something called a “Good” Morning Bowl with yogurt, fresh fruit, granola and honey (what’s good about that?).

Our dog groomer is located in the hills overlooking Schroon Lake and the fact is, we plan our appointments so we can drop our doggies off and go have a relaxing breakfast at Pitkin’s.

Beyond breakfast, a delightful feast.

Pitkin’s is not just for breakfast, though. On a recent lunch visit, we devoured the patty melt (with curly fries, of course) and the excellent fish and chips.

Options abound from a large selection of salads (not very Gilmore-like), burgers, wraps, traditional sandwiches, panini, and classics like the hot turkey sandwich.

We are suckers for a great pun, so we need to get back soon for the “Schrooner or Later” hand-breaded fried chicken sandwich. And our Uncle Ed went nuts for the pulled pork sandwich.

The same menu is served at dinner, with entrees like chicken schnitzel, turkey dinner (with stuffing and mashed potatoes), homestyle meatloaf, and smoked brisket mac n’ cheese. That’s some good cooking.

Don’t miss the homemade pies and desserts.

Recently renovated, Pitkin’s has a great rustic modern feel. You’ll feel right at home whether you’re tucked into one of their cozy booths or at a table.
