Main Street hours

Downhill Grill sits at 74 Main St, Saranac Lake, NY 12983, United States. The doors stay closed on Monday and Sunday. Midweek service starts at 3 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday, then runs until 8 PM. From Thursday through Saturday, lunch service begins at 12 PM and continues through dinner until 8 PM.

That schedule suits a simple stop on Main Street. A late lunch can turn into an early dinner without changing plans. Tuesday and Wednesday work for an evening meal after work or errands. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday cover the middle of the day as well, so the room serves both lunch and dinner in one stretch. A guest can build the visit around the clock, then choose the meal pace that fits the day. A quick stop before the evening rush feels different from a longer table meal, but the same address handles both.
