The Lodge has a nice atmosphere except for being crowded and extremely loud at times.
The food used to be pretty good but last time we went the pizzas were terrible. They advertise a Lodge Pizza that should have had pepperoni on it but it was just a ton of flavorless white cheese on a piece of dough with a few underripe tomatoes scattered on it.
