Always enjoyed coming here for a meal during our vacation. This time May 2,2024 the entire tavern was reserved seating for a wedding party even though half the outside seating was empty tables.

Shelley was a bartender in training under expert Veronica. They were both excellent . We got to sit at the outside bar on an overcast day and loved it. Recommend the trout bites!

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and were able to sit by the river. Food was fantastic. Service was okay - a bit delayed on drink refills but the food and atmosphere more than made up for it.

Saw this beautiful place while passing through so we had to try it. Lunch was delish. (Possibly the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever eaten.) Service was great and all the staff are super friendly. And the river flowing right next to the restaurant made it even better.
We’ve been coming here with the car group since 2014. Over the years, ownership changed a couple of times. The essence of the old lodge still lingers but the prices of the food has sky rocketed and the quality has gone down. I’m always willing to pay the price but it’s getting a bit out of hand. You can have dinner/lunch up in cashiers/highlands for less $$ & better quality.

Historic and great food with excellent service!! River side dining at its finest!!
This is an awesome place. The food, the atmosphere and location is excellent for hangout, friends and even a nice weekend drive to sit next to the river and sometimes you can see the kayakers going through.Parking: Very spacious parking.Kid-friendliness: Very family and kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: They have ramps.
The staff here are amazing and the motorcycle parking is beautifully done. I look forward to coming back.Just as good this year ? thank you all!

Nice location, but the wait staff insisted on seating us indoors even though there was absolutely no chance of rain. The environment was too noisy under the overhang and the wait staff insisted on yelling from the ends of the very long tables to communicate. In general the experience felt rushed as if everyone was trying to unload us from the moment we arrived. All 10 of our party members agreed on this point.Some of the food was laughably small. My quinoa bowl was smaller than my outstretched hand and overstuffed. Literally if they just put it in a larger bowl and dumped a few more vegetables in it, it would cost them cents more and look far more presentable.We have been going here for over 8 years. This negative experience was different from any we have had in the past, even 6 months ago.
