What a wonderful hidden gem. Beautiful restaurant overlooking the water, with glass walls. The food was spectacular, but I could not say enough about their staff. What a wonderful group of human beings. Genuinely fantastic bunch. A family member was stranded due to inclement weather and the staff went above and beyond to make her feel at home. It is sometimes the simplest act of kindness that reveals the true nature of who people are. And if that holds true, everyone working this restaurant deserves an award. Do yourself a favor and visit them next time you're in the neighborhood. You won't regret it.Parking: Plenty of spacesKid-friendliness: They were very welcoming

I can not say enough good things about this restaurant! We arrived at the lodge on 1/11/24 to 1/15/24 and were here through the winter storm in which our flights were canceled. We weathered out the storm here, and the staff in this restaurant have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Not only are they kind, but the food they provided has been excellent! They had a limited menu (to be expected when the town is shut down), and through this, their daily lunch and dinner menus have been hot comfort foods that have been absolutely delicious! We eat here every time we visit this town and have enjoyed every meal, but this time is different. They treated us as family, and we will never forget this warming hospitality. If I could, I'd rate this place with 10 stars!

I have been waiting for over a year to get the chance to come eat here. I had thought about it all day.However, I was granted with a very bad experience and of all nights, on mine and my husband's anniversary.We wanted to sit in the more romantic section where the lights were lower and the view was better. We got stuck in the brightl lights and the chairs at the table are too low for short people such as myself.Our meal was very disappointing. I had to send my steal back to be cooked like I requested it. The second time it was brought out it still wasn't right. I only ate what I could. I got shrimp on a skewer added to my meal. I bit into one shrimp and had to immediately spit it back out. It was still raw. I knew when she set my plate down the color was not right. She had to take them back too. The steak had flavor but too much pepper. They took the shrimp off our bill but did nothing a out the half of the steak I couldn't finish. I even showed it to her again. I asked if the cook was new but she said no that he had been there for years. Well, he should have known better. The onion rings on my husband's plate was too greasy. We may give it another try and we may not. I don't know. Very disappointed.

I had great service here. At one point I noticed that the server saw that my drink was low and came and filled it without being asked. The food was also amazing, all nice, hot, and freshly made.

Thanksgiving dinner was a letdown!Few items, Buffet style, processed ham and Turkey roll, Dressing was a little dry with little flavor, Mashed potatoes were good, Green beans and carrots appeared to have been heated from canned. Gravy was nearly tasteless. Only dessert was Peach cobbler (ok at best) The advertised cakes were not present.I try to support the parks but it was difficult to endure such mediocrity.Hope they will get it together for a more enjoyable Christmas! The location is excellent, the area is clean, and my servers were very good, attentive and personable; if not for them the experience would have been unbearable.

Stephanie was our server. I have to say, she made our night very special. We came to town late, and right before a major holiday. The servers were stretched thin and running. She was very accommodating with our food, suggested great drinks that she personally had made with care, for us (and the kids!). It really made our visit so fun. It was a nice surprise to find someone so attentive and knowledgeable about cocktails during our brief stay. We were very happy to have that time in the lodge hanging out.If you’re around, I’d recommend chilling out and letting Stephanie and the sweet, hardworking folks around the lodge take care of you.

Like for the price the food could be better. The options are limited. I will say the chicken tenders were good. The waiters was amazing!
I was visiting sites in southwest Tennessee and decided to stop at the restaurant at Pickwick landing state park. I'm glad I did.My server, Nancy, was good at providing information on the menu and the special of the day. She also kept the drink full and removed the dishes as soon as I was done. A very good employee.I got the special and it was delicious. There was more food than I could eat.I'll be back the next time I'm in the area.

Being generous with a 3 rating. Closer to fair than anything. Very limited menu, some menus offered at lunch, not dinner and for dinner and not lunch. Nothing to recommend. Very limited breakfast, self serve waffle, cereal, and yogurt. Beautiful dining room.

Top place to eat at Pickwick on the water in my opinion. Lots of menu options, full bar, and reasonable prices. Clean and upscale feeling and overlooks the lake.Parking: Tons of free car parking and limited dock parking.
