Meg is the best host. She has consistently been a great asset to our hiking community. We plan our trips for when she is bartending and serving. Thanks for her amazing service. We could go to any number of places to eat and drink after our hikes but we choose this one because of the great food and Megs service.
I’m leaving this review for anyone considering Starved Rock Lodge as a wedding venue. When life happens, you will not receive compassion and assistance from this venue, and I would not recommend booking with them. Four months before our scheduled wedding day, my late mother-in-law received a terminal cancer diagnosis, which required us to push up our wedding. We were unable to bring her out to Starved Rock due to her condition, so we ended up having a microwedding near the hospital...read full review
Leinenkugel event
Want to share my recent experience at the leinenkugel event. If no one says anything you cannot fix the issue. This was my first time to the event. I was very excited for it but was quickly disappointed. Very disappointing event. All the food was cold. Not worth the $85 a ticket for cold food.
The buffet at a casino is much better and hot. Work is needed on your end to justify the cost for this event. I also seen the food wheeled to the event...read full review

The Back Door Lounge is a charming spot with good drinks and outstanding pot roast. The cozy atmosphere by the fire makes it a perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. The $27 spiked cider and pot roast deal is reasonable and highly recommended. Vegetarian options like the portobello sandwich and veggie burger are also available. The lounge offers delicious nachos, with Gonzalo cheese, and s'mores for dessert. The service is generally attentive and friendly, with staff like Alison providing excellent service. The cheese curds are a tasty choice, and the outdoor patio provides a beautiful view. While the food quality may be average at times, the patio and view make it a good spot for a meal after hiking at Matthiessen or Starved Rock. However, service can be slow, and some drinks may be less than perfect, but overall, guests enjoy the atmosphere and experience.
