We stopped in to ask about the hours and check the menu at the dining lodge Upon leaving we noticed a small room with lights on and racks of shirts. We thought that it was the park store. We went inside and was immediately jumped by and old lady who told us it was a meeting and we needed to leave. We had no idea there was a meeting nor did we deserve to be talked to that way. Maybe lock the door next time. Very rude. We didn't even go back for lunch

Beautiful lodge, nice atmosphere, good service. This park is known for their trout hatchery, spring of course, and a beautiful spring-fed river to fly fish trout from and the lodge serves fresh rainbow trout: fried or baked with sliced almonds. Great choices for meals and a big list of delicious-sounding homemade desserts. We're definitely coming back.

Classic big stone Lodge built back in the 30's. Still in great shape.

Had three meals there. Excellent very prompt service. Breakfast was fast and good except biscuits were like cannon balls. Dinner kinda pricey. Roast beef on toast w mashed potatoes and gravy. Ehhh kinda tasted old or stale. Pretty sure roast beef was more fat than meat.

The interior design of this restaurant is fantastic. It was on point in regards to theme and quite inviting. There was no wait even at dinner time. Food selection was quite broad, I ordered the rainbow trout and my wife had to country fried steak. The steak was better than the trout, both were very large portions. Was not a fan of the macaroni and cheese, but the peach pie for dessert was out of this world. Definitely recommend this place

Not a good experience. Ordered two of the daily special Which was liver, baked potato, green beans, rolls soup or salad. Waited 40 minutes and no salads or any attention. Finally received deep Fried Burnt livers, mashed potato and no roll or soup or salad. Just a terrible meal and waitress.

Our family had a wonderful time at the restaurant. Staff was friendly. Food was prepared in a reasonable time frame and was delicious. I would definitely recommend the restaurant. The architecture of the building is beautiful and makes for a great old world feel.

Disappointing to say the least. Walk in at 7 o'clock to a restaurant that closes at 8 with a party of 15, told by 2 different people that they were waiting for another large party to leave to seat us. when they left the set the table for us but then the kitchen refused to serve our party after leaving us sitting in the lobby for 37 minutes all the while other small parties were seated.

It really hurts that this could be such a nice spot, but it is not. First: incredibly slow service. Only 5 tables were seated (including us), 2 servers and a hostess....over a waitress saying, after we were seated, "They're going to have to wait, I've got a big table." (A table of 6). Second: overpriced for the serving size. We both ordered catfish, one piece, with 2 sides and soup and salad, split a cherry pie with ice cream, 2 drinks = $50+. Third: the flavor was just okay, and not very hot. Fourth: Should kitchen staff be wearing masks? These were not. Fifth: Not very friendly wait staff.Overall this is a beautiful lodge in a beautiful setting; someone needs to manage this restaurant better.

Sorry to put this so low, but our service was very slow. Our waiter did not check back on us and we had to ask for drink refills. Worse when the food finally came it was cold, the plate was hot, but the food was cold and very good.

I thought this was a nice place. Waiter was very kind. Didn't have to wait long at all. Although there weren't many people at the restaurant. Food came with salad and soup, which was a pleasant surprise. I thought it tasted great also! I don't know why there were bad reviews. That's unfortunate!! Because I had a great experience! It wasn't the best food I've ever had, definitely plain Jane but it satisfied my need!! You can even bring your own fish you caught and they'll cook it for you. How neat is that?!
