Took forever to take our order. Meal came with salad. Usually comes first. Didn’t come. Meal didn’t actually come either. Told the server we wanted to go after 30 minutes.
She wouldn’t let us pay because she needed to get the food taken off the bill, made us wait longer to go talk to her manager. Didn’t make us pay for drinks. So that was nice

First time here! Great food! Our waiter Ben recommend the trout and fried zucchini. We also had the fisherman’s platter. The zucchini is out of this world! Best breading ever!
Great service too!! Will be back

Update: Don’t Recommend the Roast Beef. I’ve had it a couple of times and it is old tasting Roast Beef. The Homemade Pies are Not Very good, especially the Chocolate Creme Pie & Coconut Creme Pie. We couldn’t even finish eating them. Waitress wasn’t there Very Much, either. She was Too Busy eating in the other dining area. Great Atmosphere!
Nice, clean restaurant and the man Host, who initially seats you, is very nice and gets you started with drinks and specials. Neat looking restaurant with a lot of character! My husband had the Chicken Sandwich Special which was delicious and I had a Frisco Sandwich which was good, too! Wide variety of delicious food from Lasagna to Trout to Salmon & breakfast, sandwiches and more. Good service, great hours, and decent prices… We will be going back. Definitely Recommend if you are in the area!

Place could have been great. Two huge hearths/fireplaces on each side of the large dining hall. It definitely has the look and feel of a historic river lodge. However it was cold and rainy and neither fireplace was lit. Most people ate wearing their jackets on.
Food was mediocre. Dinner Roll was heated in the microwave and had to be peeled from the napkin. Prime rib was blah and the horseradish sauce was sweet and didn’t get ate. Salad was on its way out and the dressing separated and tasted fishy. Coffee was good!

The setting of this place is nice, but the food I ordered was definitely nothing to brag about. I ordered the Roast Beef dinner with green beans and carrots for $17 and change. It was a complete rip off. The sides of green beans and carrots was very small servings, no more than 2oz’s a side, they were ok, but not much flavor. The Roast Beef on the other hand was absolutely terrible. It is extremely dry and very tuff and chewy. You have to saw into it with a Steak knife to cut it. It is so dry and very flavorless, they definitely do not know how to cook Roast Beef at all. It is supposed to still be a bit pink in the center and juicy and tender. If it’s done correctly, you can easily cut it with your fork. I told the waitress, she got a bit of a attitude and told me they sell a lot of it. She took it and brought me another piece, and it was just as bad, and I did not eat it either. The waitress got a very bad attitude with me, did not even offer to take anything off of my bill, and even charged me extra because I used my American Express. So my bill was a little over $25, for a extremely low quality meal. If you curious, no I definitely did not leave a tip for the waitress, she is very poor in her customer service skills. I work in food service, and she would not have a job with me with her attitude. Be careful what you order here, customers in the parking lot said the cook can only cook a couple of things well. Go on in to Lebanon for good food.

Great Atmosphere, very cozy, service was great. Only complaint was food was overdone. Fries were super crispy and fish was overcooked. Everything else was good.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Got the trout dinner and turkey club. You definitely get your money worth in the sizes of food they serve.

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 in your own fish you caught and they’ll cook it for you. How neat is that?!

Well, we took our 14 year old son fishing at the Bennet Springs State Park today. We caught 6 trout and the fishing was awesome. We were hungry before we left and thought why not try the restaurant? I ordered a ribeye with Okra and a salad, my wife ordered the BLT fries and July son ordered the Chicken Alfredo special with green beans and garlic bread. I was excited to try the State park restaurant!
My salad came first and I had the thousand island dressing. The salad was pretty good. It included a miniature sweet pickle and a thick slice of cucumber. I enjoyed the salad and looked forward to my ribeye!!!
The mains were presented and I immediately noticed a concern with my Ribeye. There was no juice under it? The outside was bone dry and th steak was only about 1/4 inch thick. I have had wonderful tasting ribeyes this thin before. I was a little concerned but I thought it cant be that bad!
So I whipped out the steak knife and began sawing a chunk of this steak off to throw down the gullet. I noticed immediately how hard this thing steak was to cut? Uh oh……
I finally chain sawed my way through and chucked that peice of steak into my mouth. I immediately noticed an un earthly texture as my jaws clamped down on the meat. Then a sensation of rotten meat hit my taste buds like a hammer striking an anvil! Holly nastiness!! Foul meat taste filled my palate……
I looked down to my plate just as I involuntarily gagged out the retched boot leather bite I just took. It landed on ky plate like a bullet ridden B29 bomber from ww2!
This was definitely the worst bite of beef I have had in years! I wanted to quickly wash that misery out of my mouth sobI stabbed two nodules of fried okra off my plate.
While thankfully tasting not rotten and sour the okra filled my mouth with raw slime. Another failure…
I dont know if you will have the same experience as this was just my experience. I hope your meal taste much better! Good luck!

It’s a great place to cool down after the hot sun outdoors. It’s a classic lodge with beautiful decorations. Great menu selection and lots of good desserts !! The staff are prompt and professional. They have crispy fried chicken, chicken fried steak, pizza, sandwiches, and dinner meals. Breakfast is awesome – biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes all great
Don’t forget blackberry cobbler or peanut butter pie a large mode!!!
