When looking for a rustic restaurant that also serves up mouthwatering food, there's no better place to head than New York's Adirondack Mountains. More than worth planning a day trip around, if you have the time to head to Essex County and are interested in taking a scenic adventure that will result in you having a belly full of scrumptious food - it's time to put Sticks & Stones on your radar!

Make your way out to the northwestern shores of Schroon Lake and right along Route 9 you'll discover Sticks & Stones Wood Fire Bistro & Bar.

A place that will leave you feeling right at home, Sticks & Stones' rustic decor and beautiful artisan wood interior is what you hope to find in every Adirondack restaurant. There are even wood-carved black bears at the end of the booths here!

A full-service restaurant and bar, Sticks & Stones features local craft beer from places like Paradox Brewery in Schroon Lake and boutique wines that you can get from the bar.

The cozy cabin interior has a stone fireplace that will keep you warm during our colder months, and they also have a wonderful patio outside that's dog-friendly for anyone who has their favorite four-legged friend tagging along.

Now let's talk about what really matters... the food! Sticks & Stones' lunch and dinner menu are full of classics like their Pretzel Burger, Schroon "Sangwich", and Paradox Pulled Pork.

But one of the things most people commonly go nuts over is their wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza.

Whether you want a classic like the Margherita that comes with fresh mozzarella or their Meat Your Match pizza that's topped with pepperoni, pancetta, prosciutto, and sausage - you won't be able to resist these amazing dishes.
