Lodge Restaurant — Restaurant in Arkansas

We went here for brunch after hearing from friends that the restaurant here was good. It is not. We were seated quickly and there were only two other tables of guests. It took a full 5 minutes for someone to ask us if what we'd like to drink (I had coffee and had to ask the waitress later for creamer and a spoon after the busser dumped and ran). Our waitress finally showed up to take our food order. It took some time for it to arrive-strange, as the place was relatively empty.

My wife had scones, which she said were ok but not great, and had asked for cream and was brought a big can of whipped cream, which was odd. I had homefries (tiny portion) on my plate which were undercooked and raw. After delivery of our food, no one came to check if we needed anything else or refills. I had to get the hotel front desk check in person (which was weird in itself being in the restaurant) to get our waitress and to request a do-over on the home fries. The waitress finally shows up and we request refills. Once we'd finished it took another 10+ minutes to get the check. I'm adding these details to, hopefully, relay a feel of the constant waiting for anyone to notice us. Not once did anyone come and ask if we needed anything or if everything was ok.

The food was mediocre, coffee was good. I would have expected a brunch place (that really has only a partial view of the lake) to be pretty busy on a weekend day, but it wasn't at all-probably because people know how bad the service is.

We were hoping this would be a good experience and be somewhere on the lake we'd like to re-visit and stay at sometime. We will definitely not be returning. Extremely...

We came here yesterday morning for breakfast before our crystal digging adventure. Our server was WONDERFUL and very sweet. I got the short stack of chocolate chip pancakes with bacon while my partner got the three cheese omelette with hash browns and toast. The pancakes were delicious but if you're someone who doesn't have that much of a sweet tooth just get regular pancakes and skip the chocolate chips, Their pancake batter seems to be overall sweeter than typical pancake batter mix and adding the chips was just too much for me personally but they were still so so so good. My partner's three cheese omelette was absolutely nothing to joke about though! I'm typically weary about restaurant/hotel eggs bc they're usually watery fake eggs; BUT NOT THESE!!!! The eggs were cooked to perfection no watery mess left behind and they absolutely didn't skimp on any of the three cheeses to the point they were flowing out of his omelette. The cook and serving staff absolutely know what they're doing and we look forward to eating there again the next time we pass through or come back for...

We had several meals here over the weekend during the morning brunch service. We enjoyed everything we tried. Portions were large and prices were reasonable for the quality of the dishes. I ate the crab cake eggs benedict and the cakes were HUGE. I couldn't finish it all, but wish I could have. My group ate several burgers and they complimented that they were all cooked to order. The onion rings were enormous, too. I went back the next day and ate the French dip sandwich with homemade chips. Yall, that was the best one I've ever had. I had to post a review just to make sure folks knew to try that dang sandwich. I ate every bite and I think I might explode...but no regrets. 🤣 The staff were very kind, too. They let me hang out at my table for a few hours while my son was taking his diving certification there. I recommend it if you're in the area. It's a nice laid-back environment, good food, and a nice view of the lake. I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I'm in...
