Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie

During a recent family trip to Lake Placid, NY, we decided to try out Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie, a place we'd heard about for its wide selection of sandwiches and crêpes. Established in 2007 by Phoebe Burns and her mother, Holly, the deli has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects their passion for food and the beautiful Olympic town they call home.

What caught our attention was their extensive menu, boasting 46 different sandwiches, each named after Adirondack peaks, and a variety of sweet and savory crêpes. The sandwiches, with options ranging from roast turkey to smoked salmon, and even vegetarian choices, were tempting. However, it was the sweet crêpes section that ultimately won us over, particularly the Bananas & Nutella crêpe.

Opting for the Bananas & Nutella crêpe was a unanimous family decision, and it did not disappoint. Made with a French vanilla bean batter, the crêpe was perfectly thin and delicate, enveloping the rich, creamy Nutella and freshly sliced bananas. It was a delightful blend of flavors that had us all savoring each bite. The kids, especially, declared it the best part of the meal, already asking when we could return for more.

Aside from the food, the service at Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie was top-notch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. It's easy to see why this place is a favorite among both locals and travelers.

Our visit to Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie was a memorable one, not just for the delicious Bananas & Nutella crêpe, but for the overall experience. It’s a must-visit spot in Lake Placid, whether you’re in the mood for a hearty sandwich or a sweet treat. We’re already looking forward to our next visit​

Great deli on main Street in placid, some street parking with municipal lots available, all paid. Menu is massive, plenty of sandwiches to choose from with tons of fun and inventive variety. We went with the Whiteface and the Macomb. Both were awesome, bread was fresh and the ingredients were flavorful. Friendly staff and plenty of places to sit. We had to wait a bit for our sandwiches on a Sunday morning, but that was to be expected when they are that good! Will definitely be back

Very satisfied with the attention of this place and not only that but the food was delicious !!! All the staff is very friendly and willing to please your cravings. It is the perfect place for breakfast or for fast food such as sandwiches.

Fantastic, no frills, sandwich and crepe shop that has something for everyone. I had the number 15 tuna salad sandwich on seeded rye bread. The bread was absolutely delicious and the ingredients of the sandwich were simple yet tasty. The pepper mayo added a nice compliment to the tuna salad. And it was reasonably priced. Everyone in my group got a different sandwich which they all enjoyed. Next time I’ll have to try a crepe!

Whenever I come up to the ADK region for hiking, a stop at Big Mountain Deli for a post-hike sandwich reward is necessary! I have loved every sandwich I’ve gotten here in the past, and never remember what I’ve tried. Today: got the Colvin on their Asiago peppercorn roll. Perfection. They also gave me a side of ham for the pup. Need to try breakfast still. Can’t wait for my next sandwich! 🥪

Awesome little lunch spot! A ton of sandwich options to keep you wanting to come back for more + absolutely delicious crepes! Very cozy atmosphere in the dining area!

They have a tremendous amount of diferent sandwiches and crepes -sweet and savory as well of about 10 different breads to choose from for your sandwich. It was a bit busy when we went but service was fast and courteous. I ordered the Iroquois peak and it was great. Very light and yet very filling and a small side of the potato salad and mac salad.

The food is excellent! We enjoyed a sweet and a savory crepe. The prices are reasonable, but do reflect being in a high tourist area. There is limited seating. Most tables were full the entire time we were there, but they turn over pretty quickly. Putting in our order was quick and easy, and the food didn't take long to come out. Their sandwich menu is impressive. I do wish they were more stringent about people bringing in non-service dogs, as there's no outdoor seating, and the entire restaurant is rather small. But the staff is busy and on the younger side, so I understand why they might not confront the entitled people who think it's okay to bring big, non-service dogs into restaurants.

A lovely sandwich shop with good prices and an interesting menu. Staff were wonderful and the sandwiches I purchased here were excellent! It's really nice seeing some creative options and some traditional choices. I had the Big Slide and the Salmon BLT.

Looking forward to coming back on my next trip to Whiteface.

We stopped here for breakfast. I was excited when I looked at the board/menu and saw some unique breakfast sandwiches. I got the brie maple sausage breakfast sandwich. It did not disappoint. The brie maple and sausage was a sweet, savory and salty combination. Delicious. Service was good. It's a place you order they call your number you go get it, but everyone was friendly. My daughter got the S'mores Crepe. She was extremely pleased with the flavor and wanted to come back the next day. Nice breakfast joint.

Always a favorite stop when visiting Lake Placid! We're going through the list of 46 sandwiches. It's hard to pick a favorite as they're all so good!
Everyone has always been friendly and the orders are quick. Definitely check this place out!

Great food, high prices though for a small crepe. Lots of sandwich choices. Staff left a little to be desired though....couldn't tell what cashier was saying (mumbling and talking quiet in a loud restaurant) and felt rushed. Also, bathroom situation is really weird. Watched staff try to go into the same bathroom that was occupied for like 10 minutes when they knew it was occupied. No idea why but it was entertaining to watch.

Great breakfast at a good price. Line was out the door when we got there and we still got our food in a short amount of time. Ordered the raspberry crepe and it was delicious and full of fruit. The panini that I also ordered was great as well. If you are in the area definitely grab breakfast here before you leave.

Wonderful and refreshing food. Super nice staff. Great variety of sandwich and wrap options! Delicious/really rich crepes.

This turned out to be my fav restaurant in adirondacks!! Loved everything that we had. Tried their heart lake breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Pesto chicken savory crepe was delicious!! Strawberry and Nutella sweet crepe was the yummiest!!! You can order online and do a curbside pickup since it takes 30-45 mins for the order to get ready. Overall an awesome experience, would love to go back and try other items.

Super friendly service. They have a huge menu with a lot of options. The food was prepared and served quickly. The crepes were both amazing. The price was reasonable for the entire meal.

Upper Ausubel Panini is fantastic. Will be back for more. The savory crepes look awesome as well.

We've been to Lake Placid many times and this was the first time eating at Big mountain deli and crepe. We ordered at the counter and they called our number when it was ready. The sandwiches were huge and delicious, most of the rolls are house made. We will definitely go back the next time we are in town.

I went on a quick vacation with my husband to lake placid and we found this place that has a large menu that includes all sorts of breakfast sandwiches / platters, Breakfast burritos, more than 46 different sandwiches, in addition to all sorts of Crêpes, Omlettes, salads, and many other dishes served for lunch and dinner. This restaurant is always croweded by tourists because it’s located right on lake mirror and next to many hotels. So be patient because it’s worth it! They have the option to dine in or take out. I tried to go there for lunch but the line up was huge, even all the tables were full so I decided to come back the next day for breakfast. I went back at 9:00 a.m. and it was already full of people but I decided to wait in line and try their food. I ordered the “Heart Lake” sandwich which is basically an eggs sandwich with cheese, tomato, avocado and red onion in a rosemary flavour baguette. The sandwich was served very hot, I almost burnt my fingers but It tasted incredibly good and it had a very fresh taste because of the avocado in it. The sandwich portion looks small but it fills you up. I would definetly go back to that place to try more stuff from their menu. It’s highly recommended!

What a fun stop for lunch! This place has an amazing sandwich selection and the bread was incredibly fresh and quite a few choices of unique bread was offered. They also had two soups of the day, which were delicious and on a cold, rainy day at hit the spot. We would definitely try this place again the next time we are in Lake Placid. With all the sandwich choices, we can eat here for the rest of the year and not try the same sandwich. I had so many choices. I would love to try it again.
