Boy we love this place. Nestled within the woods of Great Wolf Lodge you can’t beat this spot. It is perfect after a long day of fun with the kids in the waterslides. Lucky for us we have the luxury of leaving the littles with our teens so we get a couple hours of adult time! And hey, after the day of water slides and pool fun, they’re all knocking out anyway.
So, now for my recommendations. You absolutely HAVE to try the firecracker shrimp as an appetizer. Perfect crunch and the sauce is out of this world. My wife went for the steak frites which were great and I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich; super flavorful and the fries were great too.
Woody made us some awesome drinks too. I’ve never had a pineapple margarita with vodka and Jameson and a splash of blue caracauo but it was delish! Next up he did a coconut margarita with vodka and it was even better. His energy and enthusiasm was awesome and we really enjoyed our time! Thanks woody and team!

Went to great wolf lodge with the family and had the pleasure of dining here we were seated almost immediately and we had a large party. The waiter name was Patrick and he was great!! He was patient and attentive!. The food here was by far the best I’ve had at a hotel the kids got their food really fast which was great and they enjoyed their meals Then when the adults got our food it was delicious! I had a salmon plate and I was nervous it would be dry but it was nice and moist and the lemon and honey glaze was perfect!..I also had an espresso martini that wasn’t too bad!..all and all I’d definitely recommend this place and will go again!..

Horrible hostess. We got there for dinner a family of 3. 5 employees stood at the podium and none of them acknowledged us. Finally the one hostess tall blonde with double pony tail lift her head up and ask “you have reservation?” I said no. Then she gave us some paper menu and crayon and said if we don’t mind sitting outside. We don’t mind and walked out to find out the outside seating has limited menu. The hostess outside asked did they not ask if you want to make reservation? We said no. Then we went back in and told her the outside seating have limited menu. that double pony tail hostess said “oh I mean you guys can sit along here” *(pointing at the seating just outside the restaurant). We said down with our menu and crayon, then saw people got seated “inside” the restaurant and the waiter was already at their table taking orders. We got up and asked where is our waiter the hostess said “ oh those seats are not part of the restaurant”. Then we had to fish out an answer on how to make reservation since the online app was not accepting reservations. Then we told them we like to make reservation. She could of simply asked us “would you like to make a reservation?” To avoid all these confusion. Very bad experience and service. We would of been ok with a 30 minutes wait time if she has asked us for name and phone number for reservation. 5 employees stood at the podium and none of them asked us. Train your people right Barnwood. Never there again. Terrible service.

If I can give 10 stars I would. This place was that good. I was skeptical at 1st because of some older reviews but I'm telling you everything was so so good from the service to the food. The price is well worth it too. The food at Wolf Lodge has been mediocre but this place made up for all the others. The steak was cooked perfectly, the sides were very favorable and the server was super nice and attentive. We'd definitely come back. 10 stars!!! I hope whoever the chef is stays here.

My dining experience was horrible due to the long wait time and unacknowledged wait list. If you are a guest in the hotel, the great wolf app takes you directly to the waiting list if you want to make a reservation. After waiting for almost 3 hours and coming to the restaurant, we were told the online wait list is not effective and could rejoin the waiting list for another 2 hours. That was insane and we ended up with to go order as kids were hungry. The food was not impressive as we expected and whole experience was as horrible as it could be.

I dont know why the rating of this place is so low i went today and I had Ceasars salmon salad it was verry good the salmon was cooked verry well, and professional, crispy outside and soft, juicy well done inside - thanks to the chef. I ordered a watermelon drink and it was also very delicious so 5 stars from me, thank you!
They delayed our drinks, but that happened we all humans, the atmosphere was loud but normal with all those kids I can't complain.

Absolutely terrible service. I stared at empty tables for an hour and 45 minutes this evening all while the claimed thatvthe 1st available reservation was after 8:00 PM. Finally scored a High top in the bar area. A dozen employees standing around socializing, It took them no less than 10 minutes to clear and wipe the table. There are still 20 empty tables and folks begging to eat here. Makes zero sense. Let's see if the food is worth a damn. My kiddos are starving. Update - food was great, portions very large for the cost. The bartender was great as well. She ended up serving us.

* Very unfriendly staffs and servers.
* Wait time is really long.
* Wasn’t really helpful with my missing order.
*Not worth of the stress
After waiting for a long time to get orders, then it comes “missing order “?When I let them know about the missing order, I was told that all the servers are busy. After waiting for a while, I asked another staff but she said unpleasantly that she doesn’t deal with the orders. All the staffs seem overwhelmed and frustrated. We spent over $100+ but felt like we’re begging for food according to the way we were treated. My daughter and me were standing at the corner for a long time not knowing what to do while her friends were eating. It would be great if they can offer friendly and helpful services to all customers. So far Not worth of the stress.

Sat at the bar and waited 20 minutes before flagging someone down to order only to be told we needed to order at the bar? Our order was wrong but never fixed. Will probably never spend money here again. It was way overpriced for overcooked food as well.
