    I had the burger and beer special, which was promoted as a juicy 1/3 burger. I ordered without the bun and what I got was a well done, dry patty the size of a McDonald's size burger-Very disappointing! First time it was a poor meal at the lodge - I hope this was a 1 off experience.

    Special discount for members. Burger and beer for $25. BUT the burgers were not the usual good Lodge Burgers, they were small with less toppings! Very unfair to advertise one thing and deliver another. We brought 3 guests with us. It would have been better if we just ordered the usual always excellent Lodge Burgers because what they served was not representative of Lodge quality and did nothing to help bring in outsiders to dine on their own.

    We went for St. Patrick’s Day dinner. It was advertised as a fun and interactive evening. Three of the four of us got cornbeef and cabbage. Two of us had very small portions of corn beef and our vegetables were not fully cooked.  the third person had an enjoyable dinner. The fourth person ordered fish tacos, and there was so much cabbage slaw that they had to scoop off the mountains of cabbage slaw to be able to pick up and enjoy their taco. Overall, it was a disappointing evening and it wasn’t very busy at all, so there was no reason for it to be like that. Our waitress was very nice but seem to be spread a little bit thin and the other servers were noncommunicative and never refilled our water glasses.

    The corned beef and cabbage meal was undercooked and had one skinny piece of corned beef. Very poor food and overpriced.

    The mushroom ‘scallops’ was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. I haven’t been back to the lodge in over a year but they have a new, more Interesting menu and I plan to be back to try all of the other menu items soon. The problem is that I will want the delicious mushroom dish again. If you haven’t been there in a while, it is definitely worth the trip to give it another try.

    Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner. The appetizers in particular were great - we enjoyed the burrata and brussel sprouts. Unfortunately the shrimp taco main course was not great. It was 3 large tacos with a big pile of cabbage on top - not much flavor at all. The tacos were pretty tasteless and we would have much preferred two tacos plus some rice and beans. I'd suggest that dish be reworked. The service was very good and we will definitely give it another try.

    While we had a pleasant server, the food concepts were great, but they underdelivered us. Planning to revisit and hope to have a better food experience.

    The Lodge offers consistently delicious food with thoughtful twists to each dish. Tonight, I had the Chicken Tinga Quesadilla made with black beans, corn and poblano peppers. It was flavorful, full of juicy pulled chicken and was accompanied by house made guacamole, sour cream and salsa. We will go again soon!
