Had breakfast in the restaurant. Omelettes are fantastic! Ordered dinner for carry out and took back to our cabin. French Dip and Cheeseburger with fries and homeade chips...you will not be hungry! Waited at the bar for our food, service (Jason) was excellent. The county...is "dry" so you have to join their "club" to order alcohol...easy enough and no cost to you. View from the restaurant is really nice. Great experience!More

Spent a long weekend at the Lodge at Mount Magazine so we ate all our meals at their restaurant. Most were buffet with plastic gloves required, but there were limited menu items available. The food was delicious, the place was very clean, and the servers...were all very friendly and attentive! Tables with a view were available first come first serve. Recommend eating here!More

The view from the lodge and restaurant is phenomenal! Unfortunately, the restaurant is yet another victim of Covid. They were very short staffed, but the servers hustled (one waitress even jogged between tables!). Reviews prior to Covid were so good, I hope they can rebound....The food really was mediocre (def glad I got a side salad bar as that was good). Of course we tipped very well, because all staff deserve everything they can get. But again, the views are spectacular from the restaurant and lodge.More

Buffet only at this time. Lacked labels or descriptions of offerings, had to be adventurous. Wondrous smokey flavor in the meat selections, delicious sides and plentiful desserts. The dining room has a tall cathedral ceiling, complete with BIG log beams. The waitstaff is very kind.

We stopped here as we visited the park around lunch time and its the only option around. The lodge is beautiful as is the setting. The restaurant is equally beautiful. However they only offered a buffet and it reminded me of a school cafeteria. The...food was mostly bland, but the desserts were good. However the view made it all worthwhile...😊More

Six of us had the lunch buffet here on 5/7/21. At that time, the buffet was the only option. The restaurant had very good covid protocols for the buffet The food ranged from poor (burgers definitely not a good buffet item) to good or very...good (the chicken strips, salad, potato salad, onion rings) but the best part was the dessert buffet. The peanut butter and chocolate pie, lemon shots, various fruit cheesecakes were all very good. The view from the restaurant was great and I thought the one waitress for the entire restaurant did a great job. (Note to management you need more waitstaff and busboys). We would eat here again.More

My wife got the grilled chicken sandwich. She said it was good. I got the Summit burger. It had two hamburger postures plus bbq smoked pulled pork. The burger was excellent. The pork was very smoky, great flavor. The pasties were big. Not the thin...little things your get at a fast food place. I added Swiss cheese. It didn't really need it. The burger also had bacon. My wife and I both had fried green beans for our side. The beans were good. We thought they would serve them with ranch, they didn't. But they fine without the dressing. The prices are very reasonable.More

We ate every meal here the weekend we stayed at the lodge. Food was very good. Service is a bit slow, but that isn’t a complaint. I think they may have been somewhat short staffed a couple of the times so it took an hour...to an hour and a half from being seated to getting the check. I only say this so other travelers can know what to expect. It was nice having an excuse to sit and look out the windows at the beautiful view. We didn’t have anywhere to be at any certain time, so it was perfect. We had steaks one night and chicken another night, both very good. Breakfast both days was great. Hash browns and bacon were delicious , and on our last morning, my husband and I both got pancakes. We aren’t even “pancake people” but these were so light and fluffy. He got blueberry and I got pecan. Servings are HUGE. You get two plate sized pancakes and a side of bacon, ham, or sausage. We could only eat about half a pancake each, and they didn’t make us feel stuffed afterwards like most pancakes do. The desserts are very good too. We had the dessert flight one night which was good, but the peanut butter pie is HUGE and amazing. We ate half and took the other half back to the room. The next day it snowed and we put our two chairs from the room facing our window, and my husband made a makeshift table out of the ironing board, and we spent the afternoon drinking coffee and eating peanut butter pie and watching it snow. We love this place.More

Our family of 5 ate lunch and supper at the lodge today and were so pleased with both meals! We all ordered very different entrees and it was all DELICIOUS!! Such friendly good service too (our waitress Megan was super nice and attentive)! The ribeye...and filet were both amazing and we also loved the coconut shrimp and the chicken fried chicken! 5 stars from this family ❤️❤️❤️More

Came to the lodge for a 3 night stay. Stopped in the restaurant at 510pm and got food at 620pm. Limited to 33% capacity so a long line formed after we were seated and most folks gave up after waiting an hour to just to...get seated. I really don’t understand as the front desk said every room was booked but only 1/3rd can get in the restaurant to eat. Waitress was super nice and told us there was 30 job openings at the restaurant that can’t be filled partially due to the State imposed hiring freeze. There were only 2 wait staff and we saw a armed Park Ranger in uniform busing tables. Probably not in his job description but certainly impressed me. Waitress also told us the head chef was not working tonight so there would be a bit of a wait. That was an understatement but not her fault. Food was about 3 out of 10. Chicken was dry, mashed taters tasteless, fried okra not done, out of mac & cheese, etc.... After looking at pre-COVID reviews it looks like staffing and food quality is normally good, so be aware of the current limited wait staff, limited ability to get in the restaurant, long waits and less than best food quality until things get back to normal. I would suggest the State staff up to turn tables faster and to allow more guests to get in and eat even with limited seating. If we would have known all this in advance, we would have waited another year of two to book our trip. FYI, the Lodge and room were great!More

Unfortunately it was rainy and foggy when we came, so we had a view of the clouds, but it’s not every day you have lunch in the clouds! The lodge is beautiful, our server Mandy was amazing, and the crispy chicken sandwich and sweet potato...fries were delicious! It was a large portion and a good deal. They did have a limited menu right now, and lunch choices were sandwiches, burgers, salad and soup. We had a great time in spite of the weather and the drive was beautiful with plenty of fall foliage and a few deer crossing the road too.More

The lodge is beautiful and has great views. The restaurant has a great view as well. It's open right now with limited seating and a limited menu. We had burgers which were excellent. However, the wait to get in was an hour, and the service...was poor. They were under staffed, but our waiter was also super slow and rarely checked on us or brought us what we asked for. It took forever to get finished and pay the bill.More
