Moose & Maple — Restaurant in Town of Lyons

We recently stayed at Timber Ridge Lodge for a quick family getaway, and it was a fantastic experience—especially thanks to the amazing staff at the waterpark restaurant. With two kids who have food allergies (our daughter is allergic to egg, gluten, and peanuts; our son is allergic to peanuts), dining out is usually stressful. But from the moment I called ahead, Brittany was kind, reassuring, and knowledgeable. She assured me they could accommodate us safely, and during our visit, she and our server went above and beyond to make sure our kids were taken care of.

They clearly explained all the allergy-safe options and double-checked ingredients. Our daughter had pancakes and fruit—she absolutely loved the pancakes (they were super fluffy and gone in minutes!). Our son enjoyed the French toast, and my husband and I had egg breakfasts that were also delicious.

We were so grateful that we asked about the pancake mix, and to our surprise, they gifted us a brand new box to take home. That gesture meant so much to us. We’ll definitely be back—not just for the waterpark fun, but to eat at this restaurant again. Huge thank you to the staff for making our experience safe, welcoming,...

We were looking for a good place to have barbecue since we weren't from the area and this is where Google brought us! We didn't realize that when we got there that it was actually inside of a water park hotel. We had a nice view of the waterpark at the table we were sitting at. The menu was a little bit Limited so it was hard to decide what to get. We've seen that they had burnt ends and that's not something that we usually see on a menu so we were looking forward to trying those out, they were a little bit fatty but they tasted great the barbecue sauce was fantastic! We also tried the cheese curds were alright but the dipping sauce wasn't that great. After receiving our check we waited about 10 minutes for the waitress to come back and take our payment but she never did so we ended up giving it to another waitress so that we could leave. It was an okay experience and I really did like the barbecue sauce but we're not from the area so I doubt that we will...

So, I know bbq very well, and this is barely "decent" unless you have several cocktails first. First the brisket is flavorless and mine wasnt cut the right direction(against the grain) so it was pretty tough, it barely had smoke flavor and no ring. Second the link I doubt made in house and tastes like it's a sysco hot link and still not spicy, mine was cold. The ribs are edible, it was all I finished. I feel like most of the meats are precooked and smoke finished because you can tell if its freshly made. I shouldent go to a bbq place to find that chilis has better brisket and that's sad. If you guys ever need a real chef here hmu. My 12yo said the smokehouse burger was decent though. My one huge detractor was seeing the servers and hostesses with cellphones, please put those away. Service is slow enough, maybe it would improve if...
