The Gem

We hosted our "Welcome Party" at The Gem the night before our wedding, and it was perfect in every way. Paty and her team went above and beyond to make the night special. From accommodating all of our food requests to creating custom drinks just for our event! Having the entire space to ourselves made it feel intimate and memorable, and our guests absolutely loved the vibes and atmosphere. The food was outstanding, the drinks were fantastic, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to kick off our wedding weekend. Highly recommend The Gem for any special occasion — it truly lives up to its name.

I read some of the reviews which were positive, but I was still very pleasantly surprised. The food was really good, drinks were great. Atmosphere was comfortable; nothing fancy. I just had three sides, my husband had the ribs, baked beans and green goddess slaw.

This wonderful restaurant had the best brisket that I have ever had in my life. I don't know how they managed to get it so Smokey tasting but it didn't even need sauces. It was that good. My husband had the pork sandwich and it was also amazing. Even the sides were really yummy. We each had a cocktail and they were done very well. I would definitely recommend coming here to have a nice meal with the family or just get some drinks and have some appetizers. I didn't get the nachos but they looked massive and I could imagine three people needing to share the plate to eat it all. The portions are amazing and the flavors are out of this world. I recommend getting a reservation as this place got really popular quickly.

Best place in Bolton by far! Fantastic drinks (Moscow Mule made with fresh lime juice and homemade ginger syrup was excellent). Fantastic food (wings are a must have, pulled pork platter was great, even the pickled onions were on point, and 4 different creative BBQ sauces for the pork and wings). Clearly they care about delivering high quality food. Great service. Nice vibe. Wish we found this “Gem” sooner in our trip!

If you ❤️❤️❤️ barbecue, this is a five star must stop when visiting Lake George. Less than a five minute walk from the Sagamore is this incredible establishment clearly run with pride. Perfect ribs, perfect chicken wings. Smokey goodness with tender fall off the bone texture. Outrageous drinks and great outdoor seating. Lovely staff (can not remember her name but our waitress either Martha or Marsha was super patient explaining everything up and down the menu to us) Prices were so good, nuts for four people with drinks total bill was $120 and we ate like kings. Highly highly recommend.
