Prospect Mountain Diner — Restaurant in Town of Lake George

Absolutely terrible experience here. I visited this place with four friends and we were seated at the counter, which we had no problem with. After waiting at least 45 mins and without any of food in sight a friend and myself went to the restroom. Upon returning we noticed an elderly couple had sat down at our seats, our remaining seated friends were politely telling them that the two seats had been taken. When we walked up to the counter I nicely said "sorry we just ran to the bathroom". The elderly man refused to get up, he exclaimed "here in America you're supposed to put something in your seat when you walk away". I was astonished but still continued to explain that my friends were occupying the seats next to us so we thought there would be no reason to leave something in our seats. He then proceeded to say "go back to where you came from". Mind you this was at the counter where many waitresses were walking through, there was even a seating hostess stationed directly behind us who heard the whole ordeal. None of them intervened. Even the counter was based on seating placement, it was not an open counter. Why would the waitress seat them at the counter and more importantly why did they just sit back while this half brained racist continued...

Absolutely a can miss location. Nothing special happening with the food; not bad, just pretty flavorless and boring. We've eaten here before in our frequent travels through the area and were not impressed, but it was walking distance from our hotel and after a long morning on the slopes, the geographic convenience convinced us to return. Despite only having four table counting ourselves in the whole place, service was glacial and inattentive. Had to flag down our server for everything, coffee, silverware, check, etc. Essentially she took our order and dropped off the food when it was ready, anything else we had to actively seek out assistance. The fact that she spent nearly the entirety of our meal shooting the breeze with a couple of locals at the table across from us certainly didn't help matters. It's good to take care of your regulars, but not at the expense of your other customers (another young couple who were also being ignored were loudly grumbling about the situation). The building is cute, albeit in need of a serious deep cleaning, and while the food isn't awful, there's plenty of other mediocre restaurants in Lake George where the staff at least puts forth an effort. This was definitely our last visit to Prospect...

DO NOT EAT HERE - save yourself the aggravation. Should have believed the bad reviews. Definitely were right. Came in for dinner with my family. The premises are deteriorating, ripped seats (foam popping out) with not even an attempt to tape them, all juke boxes are broken. Food was average, nothing spectacular. What made it horrible was the service. One older waitress with a *t sandwich for an attitude. I was not the only patron who noticed. Very unhappy individual who should never be working in the service industry. She literally rolled her eyes after an extra request. I didn't even ask for refills on the soda as I was afraid of "extra ingredients' in the cup. Was thinking of no tip to show dissatisfaction, but then decided with a 10% last minute - BiG mistake. Somehow the owner passed that info to the waitress, who I could hear on my way out discussing me and mentioning some unsavory things about my personality. Hey owner - only reason I didn't cause a scene was because my kids were there. Terrible way to run a business, that is why it is deteriorating. Hopefully others will heed my advise and go to plenty of other diners in the area (ex: Denny's and Silo Restaurant is only...
