Our Story
Burleigh’s Luncheonette is a long-standing establishment in Ticonderoga, NY with roots that date to the 1920’s. The "Burleigh" building has seen many names over the years such as, Conron's Drug Store, Ti Economy Store, and Burleigh’s Pharmacy. The current name comes from the Burleigh family who has lived here for many years, more specifically, Henry Gordon Burleigh who was a businessman, politician, and banker. Going by the initials "H.G.", Henry served as a supervisor for the Town of Ticonderoga in 1861, a local representative to the New York State Assembly in 1876, and later as the district's U.S. Congressman from 1883-1887.
This once pharmacy offered common goods, prescriptions, and it had a lunch counter which remains today.
Burleigh’s Luncheonette is now a full service 1950’s-style diner that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and homemade desserts to locals and visitors alike.
On September 5, 2016, Mark, Don, & Debbie Barber became the new proprietors of Burleigh's after purchasing it from Darlene and Harry Treadway, another local family that operated the restaurant for many years.
It all started when Don shared his dream of owning his own restaurant after having been in the food service industry for 30 years. Don's dream then became his family's dream, and together they have strived to provide a fun, affordable, family friendly dining experience.
Beginning in December 2021, Burleigh's underwent an extensive renovation and re-opened for business on May 16, 2022. The historic renovation will leave its mark on downtown Ticonderoga for many years to come. Burleigh's now features a state-of-the-art kitchen, handicapped accessible restrooms, new seating, and many other upgrades. Although there is a "new" look, Burleigh's still has the same family-friendly atmosphere, decor, and theme you have all loved over the years.
In 2020, Burleigh's was awarded Business of the Year by the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. Burleigh's was also featured in the January 2021 edition of Northern Home, Garden, and Leisure Magazine.
