The servers were all very sweet and we did wait a bit for water refills but overall had all we needed. We were greeted warmly and sat immediately. The restaurant itself was clean and lovely! The view was fantastic! All my boys immediately got excited about what was on the menu as there were many options and it wasn’t all the same regular items (although you can get the boring stuff that just ain’t us!) Then the food was excellent. Large portions, nice presentation and the flavors all hit! My youngest kept moaning while eating his gourmet grilled cheese with Gouda, tomato, and their spinach dip all between perfectly grilled bread! I was a big fan of the sauce on my Hot Chicken Sand! It was spicy and sweet and smoky and although my sandwich dripped with it I still wanted more! We jumped in to eat so fast I didn’t get a pic. Definitely recommend!

Available to dine inside or on the porch. The food was tasty. Porch had a nice view. Ceiling fans on porch for weather that would require them Service was fast even though they told us that the kitchen was short staffed. Connected to the lodge for convenience.

We Absolutely Love The Drive to Fall Creek Falls Restaurant and The Atmosphere here is Fabulous and The Food Amazing Every Time! Toni was a Fabulous Waitress and Recommended the Cajun Pasta to my Husband and he Absolutely Devoured It! Delicious! LeAnne is also a Fabulous Waitress there! Can’t wait to go when it’s warmer and we can sit outside!!

Amazing restaurant with good food. I had the mozzarella burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our waitress, Jessica was also wonderful. This place far exceeded my expectations and I'd highly recommend it.

We ate here on Saturday night after day of adventuring. I had grilled chicken salad which hit the spot - good portion. Also had a margarita. Food was good and plenty of options. It is really the only food anywhere nearby if staying at park (we were camping) so I am glad this place was here!

The food was good but the atmosphere was amazing! As we walked up to the hotel the fire pit was burning and we walked inside it just gave you all the cozy vibes! We didn’t stay the night but we did eat at the restaurant. We had a 45 min wait so we sat at the bar that over looked the lake. The food was good I had the chicken breast smothered in cheese onions and peppers. And my husband enjoyed the fish and chips. They have some local beers on tap and some nice cocktails. I definitely want you to go back and stay at the lodge and enjoy this park!

Our family had a great meal that included Chicken Tenders, grilled Shrimp, Fish & Chips and a Cliffhanger Burger. They were all fresh, promptly delivered and flavorful. Our server Samantha was great and we look forward to visiting again!

Love the new restaurant at the lodge. We had excellent service every time we ate here over the weekend. Fried cod sandwich, coleslaw, chili, surf and turf, rack of ribs, cheeseburger... We had it all. Very delicious. A little pricey, but worth it. You also have a fantastic view of the lake with plenty of outdoor seating.
