About Main Dining Room at Starved Rock Lodge

The Main Dining Room at Starved Rock Lodge offers a cozy and vintage-inspired atmosphere, with a large fireplace as the focal point and wooden tables completing the cabin-like look. The service is praised as great, with attentive and efficient servers, though some newer staff may struggle. The menu features a variety of classic American dishes, including an excellent pot roast, fried chicken, and pork chops, though some meals like the ribeye or breakfast potatoes may lack seasoning or quality. While the vegetarian and vegan options may be limited, the carnivorous options are highly recommended. The coffee is noted as being of great quality, and the warm rolls are a highlight. Some dishes, like the overcooked fries or pasty mashed potatoes, disappoint, but breakfast items like eggs over medium or sausage are decent. The atmosphere remains charming, though the food can be hit or miss for the price. Overall, the Main Dining Room provides a mixed dining experience, with good service and ambiance but inconsistent food quality.
