🇺🇸 Holiday Hours Update

We had a great Friday evening—thank you to everyone who joined us!

However, as we closed out the night, we still didn't have a single reservation for Saturday. Even on our slower weekends, we can usually count on at least a few reservations by this point, so it was a pretty clear sign that tomorrow would be an exceptionally quiet day.

Rather than opening with what appears to be a very slow holiday ahead, we've decided to give our kitchen and waitstaff the day off to enjoy the Fourth of July with their families.

WE'LL BE BACK SUNDAY from 1–6 PM, serving both our weekend specials and our full pub menu.

Thank you, as always, for your support. We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Fire up your Fourth of July weekend with a burger worth celebrating. Our smash burgers are made with quality beef, smashed in-house, topped with fresh ingredients, and served with our hand-cut, double-fried French fries. Hope to see you this weekend! 🍔🍟

🇺🇸 Celebrate Independence Day Weekend at Pleasant Lake Inn! 🇺🇸 One of the best things about America is that every corner of the country brings something special to the table.

This weekend’s special is Authentic New Orleans Gumbo—a Southern classic that's become one of our most requested returning specials.

Made from scratch with shredded chicken, andouille sausage, shrimp, peppers, onions, celery, tomatoes, and a rich, slow-simmered roux, it's served over herbed white rice and packed with bold, comforting flavor.

If you're craving an American classic this holiday weekend, we've got plenty to choose from:

🍔 Our Smash Burgers, including the All American Burger, PLI Signature Burger, Mushroom Swiss and Spicy Mexican Hot Burger.

🐟 Fresh Haddock prepared fried or broiled, our popular Fish Fry, or the loaded Captain's Platter with haddock, shrimp and clams.

🍗 Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Tenders, Boneless Wings and more.

🍤 Coconut Shrimp, Pretzels & Beer Cheese, Mozzarella Sticks, Pizza Logs, and plenty of appetizers perfect for sharing before the fireworks.

Whether you're stopping in after a day on the lake, spending the weekend in the Adirondacks, or gathering with family and friends, we'd love to celebrate with you.

🥳 Here's to 250 years of American independence, community, and the incredible regional flavors that make our country so unique. We hope you'll spend part of your holiday weekend around our table.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from everyone at Pleasant Lake Inn!

Last weekend's German Weekend was one for the books.

To everyone who joined us, thank you. The dining room was full, the kitchen was humming, and the compliments on both the food and service meant the world to our entire team. It took a tremendous effort from our staff, and a whole lot of patience, kindness, and enthusiasm from our guests to make it such a memorable weekend. We are incredibly grateful for your support.

If you missed German Weekend—or if there was one dish you never got around to trying—we have some good news.

This weekend, we're featuring an Open-Faced Sauerbraten.

Our chefs prepared plenty of our traditional German-style beef roast for the weekend, and while many guests understandably gravitated toward favorites like schnitzel and sausages, there was still some beautifully braised sauerbraten waiting in the wings. Rather than tuck it away for another year, we're giving it an encore performance.

Tender beef roast, slowly braised German-style until it practically falls apart, piled high over thick sliced bread and finished with our sweet-tangy homemade gravy. Served alongside roasted new potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

If you've always been curious about German cuisine but weren't quite ready to dive into a full traditional dinner, this is a delicious place to start. Familiar, comforting, and packed with the rich flavors that made German Weekend such a success.

At $25, it's a hearty plate that just might become a new Pleasant Lake Inn favorite. Comes with a fresh house salad to start! 🇩🇪

🇩🇪 A little secret about German Weekend...

While Friday and Saturday get most of the attention, SUNDAY might just be our favorite day to enjoy the German menu.

The pace is a little more relaxed, and with our Sunday hours from 1–6 PM, you can enjoy a hearty German feast in the afternoon and still have plenty of the day left afterward. If you're looking for the most flexibility in dining times, Sunday is a wonderful option.

We still have tables available this evening (Friday), and we'd love to see you. Saturday reservations are filling in nicely, with the most availability currently at the earlier and later dinner hours.

If you're thinking about joining us this weekend, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to make a reservation before you arrive. It allows us to prepare for your visit and have your table ready whenever possible. Walk-ins are always welcome, but during German Weekend there may be a wait for a table, particularly during peak dining hours. Dining at the bar is an option too.

📞 Give us a call at 315-429-3377�💬 Or send us a private message here on Facebook to inquire about table availability at your preferred time.

Thanks, everyone! 🙌

We look forward to sharing another memorable German feast with you this weekend. 🍺🇩🇪

🇩🇪 A few times each year, our kitchen takes a trip to Germany 🇩🇪

Next weekend only, we're serving house-made German specialties including slow-braised sauerbraten, crispy pork schnitzel, grilled bratwurst and knockwurst, German potato pancakes, Bavarian lentil soup, warm German potato salad, pretzels with beer cheese, homemade apfelmus, and more.

The sauerbraten alone starts over a week in advance, slowly brined with onions, spices, and traditional ingredients before being braised until fork-tender and finished with its signature sweet-tangy gravy.

Whether you're joining us for the first time or making your annual pilgrimage back for schnitzel and sauerbraten, we can't wait to share another memorable German Weekend with you.
