INCREDIBLE gluten free menu!!!!! The best gluten free pasta and bread I’ve ever had at a restaurant. They also have GF wraps / pizza crust.
Views from the deck can’t be beat. Thoughtful menu and extremely friendly staff. A short walk down to the Bluff before or after dinner. We will be back!

Worst food ever. I will never go back. Pretty sure I got sick.

Can’t believe this place has the ratings it does. Coming in from TX during winter. The food was great my husband and I had the meatloaf and the country fried chicken. Both were delicious. And five star service from our server, Owen!!!!

Well, we got there seated fast she took our drink order..brought drinks then came back took order.said our waiter was Owen...but she would take care of it to help......sat there 45 min. and finally our waiter Owen came to table asked if ready for check? We laughed said well we would like food first...he came back said they were putting order together and on plates...25min later he brought wrong chicken wings for my sister in law...and told me they didn't put in my order of pizza ..I asked if they had now, if not I wanted to cancel he said no be ready in 15 min but no charge ...we told him about chicken order....he said he would check..and well, he said yes he brought wrong order to her ?? Had mixed with another order but she would be charged for one...my hubby's burger was ok....and my brother in law had nachos they were ok. for price nothing really special....just very disappointed. $95.15..it was my sister in laws special birthday dinner...and it was a mess for sure not special :( ...drove 2+ hours to go to Echo Bluff will NOT go back ...it wasn't one, but all involved were so disorganized..

The BBQ nachos were amazing! Had the hamburger for one meal and it was great! You can taste the quality beef! Fry's for my side were good quality french fries. Had the supreme pizza for dinner after canoeing for 8 hours. A little to expensive for the pizzas in my opinion. The crust isn't made there. There was to much tomato sauce it was drowning in it. My dad had the meatloaf there and he said it was great! The employees were very nice but I get the impression they are worked to the bone. Overall a good experience. Anything on the menu is good just don't get the pizza if your a big fan of quality pizza.

Great spot! Beautiful surroundings and awesome service. The kitchen kindly offered to substitute a sauce on the vegetarian pasta. I didn’t realize that the sauce had meat in it (though it looked delicious!) and our server was really kind in swapping out the meal for me. Highly recommend this spot! We both loved our meals, enjoyed cold beers on the breezy and peaceful patio, and Elaine provided amazing service. Can’t recommend enough!

We have stayed at many Park Lodges, and while Echo Bluff is a beautiful facility and location, this restaurant is a big disappointment. We ate here for dinner on a Sunday night. They had 2 waitresses and ended up pulling in the gift shop person as an additional waiter. Despite having many empty tables, people had to stand in line waiting to be seated for at least 30 min. I doubt any of us would have stayed if there were any other restaurants within a reasonable distance.
Once seated, it was 20 min to place an order and an hour to get our food. My cheeseburger was delicious, but the fries were cold. My wife had the meatloaf, which was cold. The mashed potatoes were runny, and the gravy was liquid. There was no way we were sending it back as we only saw the waitress twice during this entire time. Other customers had the same experience. We had stayed here one other time and remembered that it was not great then. We drove the 30 min to Eminence for dinner our 2nd night.
The facility has so much potential, and there are few other options to eat unless one is willing to go a long way. The wait staff was pleasant and apologetic, and the view/atmosphere is great.

I'm not sure where all of the negative reviews are coming from. The fact that there is a decent restaurant within a state park should already be a big positive, if for no other reason than to not needing to cook yourself in a nature area or drive a long distance to the closest restaurant. The food and cocktails were a mixed bag, ranging from decent to really good. It was raining when we were here, with an influx of people coming inside to stay dry. The waitress was alone for a big chunk of time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive. She did great taking care of all of us in the meantime. I think this place is good for what it is. It's not gourmet, but still very solid.

Service might have been the worst I’ve ever had. Order our appetizer it came out a hour later which was wings that could be used as creek rock. Extremely hard.

The rack of ribs! Best we ever had. Good hamburgers (huge). Excellent service.

Food was awful and very expensive, $200 for a family of 5. You can tell they don’t actually cook much of it, as it was mostly pre-packaged food warmed up. When spending that amount of $$, I would expect some of it to be handmade. Salmon was very overcooked, unseasoned, and had a whole bag of pecans just dumped on top of it. Prime rib and baked potato were pretty dry. Pizza was just ok, definitely not worth $12 for a 12”. Fries were like McDonalds fries.
