Lodge Wood Fired Grill — Restaurant in North Carolina

Our large group of 16 went to eat here while staying at GWL. We showed up at 8:10, they said it was a 20 minute wait, and it was. We were the only people in the restaurant, with several workers around. After a long wait, the server took about half our table's drink orders and then walked away. When she finally came back, we let her know we'd like to go ahead and order food. She seemed really flustered and like she just didn't know what to do. She did take the rest of our drink orders, then app orders, and then was willing to take food orders. We waited a very long time for food, and when it came it was so so. I got the chicken lettuce wraps, and the chicken was incredibly hard, chewy, and just tasted old. The rest of the dish was fine, but it was lettuce, corn, and carrots. Other people seemed to have a better experience with their food, so it seems if you order wisely the food can be good. But overall, we were the only people there, staff seemed overwhelmed, it was expensive and not that great. If you're at GWL, there's are better options for the money...

Restaurant was beautiful and cozy. Our server was very polite, on top of our order/drinks, and was very quick. Our only complaint was the food. We ordered the meatball appetizer and we thoroughly enjoyed that. The issue we had was our dinner meals. My husband ordered the ribs. I do not recommend!!! They were extremely tough and not worth $34. We had to use a knife to cut the meat off. Only 3 ribs were actually eaten. (My husband ate 2 and I attempted to eat one. I couldn’t finish it. I had to get my steak remade… The first one came out burned on the bottom; too much charring as it overwhelmed the flavor of the steak. Second steak was better. Was it worth $38? No. Not in my opinion. While this place is convenient; the food was not as enjoyable as we had hoped for paying $100 for 2 adults and a child. Again the server and cook were very nice…. But there are better restaurants surrounding the GWL. We won’t be...

Went at 5:25 to go eat with my wife and daughter, We were then told it would be a 45 min wait (mins you they open at 5) we said that was fine and waited the 45 mins. After about 55 mins of waiting I went to ask the host how much longer it was going to be, or how many tables were in front of us. He told us there were still 7 tables ahead of us. I began to walk away and then he switched up and said it was actually only 3 tables ahead of us. Host seemed completely clueless. The restaurant seems to be ran very poorly. They are supposed to be able to accommodate and provide great customer service, both of which were not shown to us. I would never come to this place again honestly. I would give less than one star...
