The vibe and the people just make the whole experience unforgettable! The restraunt was nice with a killer scenic view overlooking a the river. The food is great, but what really stands out is the bartender, her name was Maja. She's did not just mix our drinks; she's hustling hard, super friendly, and making sure everyone feels welcome. 100% would come back and so should you! Amazing service and food. She definitely made our night and the cooks were amazing as well!
We were in town for a hockey tournament and showed up with 35 people with no notice. Food was excellent, the 2 women working did a great job!!! Very impressed!!!
LD’s on the River is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and you can’t beat the beautiful view overlooking the river — it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends or enjoy a casual meal. The food and drinks were fantastic, but what really stood out was the amazing service. Our bartender, Kristen, was excellent — friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone felt taken care of. She went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area — great vibes, great drinks, and even better people!
Here's the edited paragraph: If you're heading to the Salmon River, this place is an absolute must-visit. One of the standout features is the incredible view from the upper deck, where you can take in the breathtaking scenery of the river and watch the fishermen at work. The staff is exceptional, providing top-notch service with a smile. Despite being packed, the restaurant has ample space to accommodate everyone comfortably. The atmosphere is lively, with a mix of fishermen and regular patrons creating a unique and welcoming environment. Our meal was outstanding, with the burger and Guinness being particular highlights. I was with my brother, cousin, and friend, and we all had an amazing time. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great dining experience with a stunning view.
Definitely great place to get a bite to eat & relax. Staff we're friendly & environment was great.
Where you need the stop if you're in Pulaski. The food here is great and the service is much better. If Kristen is working you are in for a treat, she's such a nice woman and is very hospitable. I've had many things to eat here but the wings were my favorite. A little on the small side but still so delicious. The cook certainly knows his stuff. He made them exactly as we wished. Again, traveling through the north country my recommendation is to stop Kristen at LDs
Place is great to hang out day or night. Food is good, everything we ordered. We got from buffalo wings so fresh so tasty not your average buffalo wings, must get. Their burger cooked just right, so juicy it’s amazingly good. Nachos are loaded with favors. Onion rings also a must get item. Good beer selections especially what they have on tap, always some special one on tap but sold out fast. Only thing is food takes awhile to come out.
I had a great time here with my father! The bartender/ waitress on Sundays in the evening is great! Great vibe within the place as well! I will definitely be back. This place might be my new local favorite! The wings are also the best I’ve ever had! Compliments to the chef!
What a great and historic looking establishment. A great deck overlooking the fishermen on the river and a short walk to the bridge overlooking the river too. Great brass bar with tiger head fittings at the long bar. The food was really good, we had burgers that were great. Just loved looking around the place at the odds and ends.
Had the pleasure of stopping in for lunch with my niece + my service dog Odysseus. The staff was very accommodating + supplied a bowl of water for my boy as we waited on the balcony overlooking the river. Shout out to Jarret + the dark haired ,tattooed beauty who took care of us + provided us an awesome spot to relax, enjoy our excellent meal+ watch the salmon fishermen below. If you're ever hungry or thirsty in Pulaski ,be sure to stop in .
