    The wood-fired pizzas are great, as are the ribs, pork loin, and steaks. If you have to choose a side, I highly recommend the sweet potato casserole. Yum!

    The Minute Chicken is amazing! We have also enjoyed the steak, meatloaf and fish. The lodge is beautiful and relaxing.

    I do not recommend this place. The staff is extremely rude. They overcharged us on our credit cards. The food was okay, and the wait for a table was excessive. This was my first and last visit.

    Food was mediocre. I would not recommend anything specifically. Management is not worried about ensuring your needs are met and more about profits.
