We went for their Sunday brunch arriving at 11:45. Brunch was 10-2. They were out of both pancakes and waffles. They had no coffee. At all. Orange juice was room temp. I ordered over easy eggs and toast with a side of bacon. (Bacon @ $3 toast @ $5) The eggs were so overdone they had to be cut with a knife because a fork couldn’t get through them. If service hadn’t been decent, I’d have left hungry and cranky. Instead, I was merely hungry.
At any rate, I’ll never return nor will any of my friends. Worst brunch ever.

We had my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner in the Magnolia Room on the third floor of The Lodge. It’s a beautiful room with a bar in a historic building. We had a taco bar and the food was great. We also had karaoke hosted by the owner and it was a blast! The night before the rehearsal dinner, 16 of us dined in the pub. The bar tender took care of us while tending bar and got every order out quickly and correctly. I can’t say enough about the service we received from Mini and Denise (and the bartender whose name I can’t recall). The owners, Johnny and Rachael, were very helpful with planning and coordinating. It’s a great place for lunch, dinner, and special events.

This was my first time trying the lodge. Didn't know what to expect. Me and my brother were greeted at the door, the owner came and took our drink order, explain their specials. My brother had barbecued wings and I had parmesan wings with blue cheese and ranch for dipping. I would recommend this place for sure. It was all very clean and a bright atmosphere. We talked to the owner for a bit. I apologize I forgot his name. He told us about the building, how they have the bar and the eatery pub in front. They also have a speakeasy downstairs and more music on another level and then a club on another level. I was so surprised that all that was on that property. He said they have specials that will be advertised on social media. So if you're looking for a new place to try this is a place. I'll be back again for sure. I absolutely give this place a five star for everything including atmosphere, service, and personality.

Great drinks and food with friendly staff. The food is not your typical pub food. It is higher quality. I had a very good buffalo flat bread and my wife had Mac and Cheese with broccoli added. Price was a value. Drinks were strong and the beer cold. Also, dog friendly.

Visited a local state park and wanted a bite to eat. The outside of the place looked great but it was inside that didn't make it. First, ate at the bar with wind that blew everything onto the floor. Another craft beer bar that you never know what it will taste like and no regular beers. Tried the gator bites app. Well, it doesn't taste like chicken and the burt grease taste was not good either. Tried the smash burger and wraw fries. Yes, I think they coated the fries in flower and they were not cooked inside. I would not eat them. The burger well it was not double grounded so it really wasn't a smash burger. The 12 people at the bar with one bar tender while the server had no customers tells you the service was ok. Would not recommend the place unless you fancy animal heads and sports tvs.
