Excellent place for German food and drink. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. There are many different types of beers available here. Parking can be difficult at times, especially during October... (You know why...). Highly recommended.

Food was excellent! Service was a little slow but they were also super busy and when our server was at our table he didn't rush us. He also was attentive and got everything right!

I ate at the Bavarian Lodge yesterday for lunch and was very happy with the food and service. The meals have so much food I had plenty to take home for dinner. We sat at the bar and were served by Hunter and Tyler and then went above and beyond. I am very unfamiliar with German food and they gave great recommendations and my meal was outstanding. Hunter and Tyler did a great job and made the visit perfect. There is an option in the lower left corner of the menu that let's you pick two or three entrees and sides. I thought that was the best deal to try a variety of different food. I will definitely go back.

An excellent restaurant to enjoy some very authentic tasting German and Austro-Hungarian cuisine. I've spent a lot of time in Germany and Austria in my 30s and I can attest that the food here tastes just like what I had in Munich and Vienna.
We had the saurbraten, the sausage plate, and a goulash to share between two adults and a kid. The goulash is better than what many tourist traps in Austria serves. The saurbraten was a bit tough but then that was how a real saurbraten was supposed to be.
The beer selection was pretty awesome too and I'm sure I'll be back with my buddies.

First time customer and will definitely return. They were very crowded, but the wait was not horrible. Our server. Matt, was very helpful, offering suggestions when we asked. The food was delicious, and we couldn't decide on an appetizer, so we ordered three. The barvarian pretzels, potato pancakes were delicious. The dinner menu had a lot to choose from, we were not disappointed with our choices.

Lively atmosphere, extensive draft beer selection, and knowledgeable staff. Generous portions and above average flavors. Not quite fine Bavarian dining. Festive dining experience, absolutely!

I had an evening dinner here with my son. It wasn't the best Bavarian food I've ever had. They have a nice beer selection and the food was okay. I purchased a pork shank which is one of my favorite German dishes. In Germany, a pork shank is served with the pork fat, or rind, crispy and crunchy. Bavarian Lodge served it with the rind flabby and rubbery. It was almost gross. I thought the meat under all the fat was underseasoned and bland. I had liver dumpling soup with it and the liver dumplings were quite hard in a salty broth. Overall, the dinner was disappointing.
