We have stayed at many Park Lodges, and while Echo Bluff is a beautiful facility and location, this restaurant is a big disappointment. We ate here for dinner on a Sunday night. They had 2 waitresses and ended up pulling in the gift shop person as an additional waiter. Despite having many empty tables, people had to stand in line waiting to be seated for at least 30 min. I doubt any of us would have stayed if there were any other restaurants within a reasonable distance.
Once seated, it was 20 min to place an order and an hour to get our food. My cheeseburger was delicious, but the fries were cold. My wife had the meatloaf, which was cold. The mashed potatoes were runny, and the gravy was liquid. There was no way we were sending it back as we only saw the waitress twice during this entire time. Other customers had the same experience. We had stayed here one other time and remembered that it was not great then. We drove the 30 min to Eminence for dinner our 2nd night.
The facility has so much potential, and there are few other options to eat unless one is willing to go a long way. The wait staff was pleasant and apologetic, and the...

Read moreDon’t mean to sound so negative but we ate there last night and it was the worst meal that we spent $70 on (just 2 of us) in a long time. It truly was like a frozen tv dinner warmed to lukewarm at best in a microwave. We had the meatloaf that was described as bacon wrapped. Waiter said it was popular and good. It was mush with one lump string of bacon on it. The fries I will say were good temp and tasty. I expected a pretty nice place being inside of a lodge (something like Pere Marquette has) but this was a small room that looked more like the decor of a hospital cafe. Very basic and plain for as expensive as the menu items were. Will not be back. Service wasn’t bad but seemed to be partying in the kitchen a little more than should. Party next to us was complaining about their food and returning it. I just...
