Reviews - Daiker's
Reviews summary
Daiker’s offers stunning lake views and a warm, inviting atmosphere that many patrons praise, especially during the snowmobile season. Some guests highlight delicious dishes like Boom Boom Shrimp Tacos and great wings, alongside attentive, friendly service. However, others report long waits, inconsistent food quality—including serious safety concerns—and unprofessional boat rental experiences with questionable charges. While the lively, family-friendly setting attracts many, issues with seating, seating comfort, and meal delays detract from the overall experience. Daiker’s clearly has potential but requires improvements in service consistency and operational management to match its beautiful location and loyal following.

What Rick M dislikes about Daiker's:
We waited an incredibly long time to be seated. The busy waitress kept assuring us that we would be attended to, but eventually, another waitress, who was chatting with a guy at the bar, finally came over to seat us. It was clear that she was somewhat reluctant to do so. View all feedback.

I had an outstanding experience during my first visit here. The server was laid-back and attentive, and the food was fantastic.
You definitely need to check out the live music and grab a bite to eat. I highly recommend the Mexican cigars!
Horrible. 8/24/24. Place only has 2 servers. Hostess refuses to allow us to sit outside even if we get a drink from the bar. Cocktail was bad. People waiting near an hour to get a simple burger.
I absolutely loved the view, the staff were extremely friendly, and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend it and will definitely return!
Daikers..please buy some new chairs for your dining area.. didn’t even want to sit on them, they were pretty disgusting. Our 2 sandwiches took over 45 minutes to an hour.. people around us were served way before we finally got our meal. (After finally tracking down waitress she said our food would be right out.. they had lost our ticket) ?? Hostess almost turned us away when there were plenty of tables. Food was just awful.. but place was packed with families. Not many options on a rainy Tuesday night in Old Forge.

Nice time on the deck .. Food was excellent .. Good service .. Nice view of the lake .. Good booze
I have never had an issue with the service or the food here. The staff is always friendly. I’ve been coming to this place for over 25 years and will keep coming back!
I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The scenery was beautiful, the staff were incredibly friendly, and the waiter was outstanding. I will definitely want to return!
Went for the first time for lunch today. Got there about 1:15 and was told there was an hour wait. Decided to stay since it was probably just as...
Greatest after season bartendress in the world, even on a rainy slow day!

The service was terrible and the food was just average. After waiting over an hour, it definitely wasn't worth it.

These reviews are hilarious! All you city folk should probably go back to NYC where they deliver your food in .5 seconds after you order while walking on their hands to be able to kiss your feet! Daikers is awesome; food, staff, views, entertainment... If you’re looking for a white linen table at the four seasons ... you’re about 300 miles too far north! Relax and enjoy life ... instead of critiquing life to feel validated!
Food and drink is always great! We've had Roberta as our server the past couple of times and she is fantastic!
We had to wait 16 hours for a table even though we had a reservation. My husband was so hungry that he collapsed and nobody would help him. Later, he died. We finally got the table and ordered medium rare steaks, but they came out as a whole cow that the waitress punched and punched until finally it stopped breathing. Blood was everywhere and my kid got some in his eye and his eye doctor told me not to let him get blood in his eye. The wings were great, though! We'll be back!
All Seasons ADK is one of our favorite spots for the past 30 years. The views, the food, the staff, and the live music are unbeatable!
We have been coming up to old forge area for 25 years and our expectations of service at any restaurant up here is generally low. Tonight we had a great waitor. The service was fast, pleasant, the food came out quickly, and he continued to check on us. The views from the deck are beautiful.
