Very good and friendly service . One of our favorites and must stop for any meal whenever we visit the State Park. Love their variety of food options. Their shakes /malts are amazing and food is delicious . We got the black bean burger , Hummingbird sandwich, the BLT , Mac & cheese and chicken strip . Everything tasted so good .

Fantastic experience! ❤️ Great service, lots of menu options that represent Northern MN the Blueberry pie is amazing! Tater Tot Hot dish is delish and the Cranberry Wild rice bread used in sandwiches OMG! The views add the final touch to a great experience. There are limited hours so plan accordingly, not a spot for a late dinner.

We loved the lunch. It tasted amazing and would definitely recommend the wild rice soup.
We tried the new breakfast buffet and it’s not half bad but still needs some improvements.
The view is super pretty and there are a ton of hummingbirds.

My family has been going to Itasca State Park and Douglas Lodge Restaurant annually for 40+ years. The restaurant is a definite stop while visiting the beautiful park. Everyone needs to at least try a cup of the Wild Rice Soup and make it a priority to get a Blueberry Malt. The malt is shareable with a couple people and it never disappoints. The historic restaurant and lodge is perfectly situated in the woods right next to Lake Itasca.

The douglas lodge is by far the greatest establishment i’ve set foot in. beyond beautiful. I was taken aback by smokey the bear—truly a sight to beyond that bear. wow. The chefs really know what they’re doing back there. My meal was exceptional. I wanted to thank the cooks personally. So scenic and peaceful just sitting in the restaurant and enjoying a scrumptious meal. mmm. i have a big fat grin on my face just looking back at my time there. If you haven’t been to the douglas lodge yet just go. i can promise you you’ll have a fantabulous experience and leave feeling full and nourished. Yummers

The place to eat when you stay in the park. After our walk, we went in and waited about 10 minutes for our table. Nothing special about the decor, since we know where we are. A limited menu, we ordered an IPA and a German Blonde, they satisfied our thirst. My wife liked her Ruben and I got the BBQ Brisket w tots. A decent meal and friendly & efficient service from McKinzie. The best part is that our table is right by the window with the view of Lake Itasca and the hummingbird feeders.

We had the buffet and it had a lot of unique Minnesotan flavors, especially leaning into wild rice recipes. That was a fun experience. Also, the strawberry rhubard pie was very good.

The wild rice soup is a must-have. Classic lodge that you have to visit when at Itasca.

Probably the best BLT sandwich I’ve ever had. The walleye bites were very good also. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Very small portion size. We ordered two meals and an appetizer.
– cheese curds, which were over cooked and salty
– wild rice casserole, which was bland
– tator tot hot dish was tasty, leaves you wanting more
