Piedmont Grille

We stayed at The Lodge & Spa for Valentine’s weekend so we ended up eating the breakfast buffet here all three days and we had our valentine’s dinner here. Each experience was truly wonderful. The staff was very friendly and helpful– true southern hospitality. I loved having this wonderful restaurant right inside our hotel!
My boyfriend and I both decided on the prime rib for dinner which was excellent. Perfectly cooked with great sides. I would definitely come back and order this again! The night we arrived we also ordered room service from here which was delicious, but pricey. The crab cake was a great start and the sweet tea chicken was so flavorful and tender.

Seafood buffet, breakfast buffet, burgers, salads, and she crab soup-​we enjoyed it all. Good variety on the buffets. Shrimp and grits station during the seafood buffet was a new experience for us, but we both were pleasantly surprised. The young man that prepared our shrimp and grits Friday night prepared our omelets Saturday morning. He did a great job on both. The muscadine Dijon vinaigrette on the Lodge salad was tasty. If you like she crab soup, be sure to try theirs. Oh, if you have the seafood buffet, save a little room for the dessert station.
The air conditioner worked very well when we were there. You might take a jacket or sweater.

Food was ok. Service was very attentive. Nothing spectacular about the food. Had the breakfast and seafood buffet. If you are staying at the hotel, eat here. If you’re heading out to the surrounding areas, then venture out.

They are ok… not great with attention to detail… we warned the server about my wife’s nut allergy and they brought pecans in her salad anyway… got to be more careful… otherwise they are ok

I’ve been here twice for the breakfast buffet and twice for dinner and have loved both times. I have stayed in several different hotels across the world while traveling for work and it is always understood that hotel restaurants are just never any good. Piedmont Grille challenges that idea and really serves a wonderful dining experience.
The first time here I came with my husband and kid for dinner and just fell in love with the chicken pasta (I think it’s called boursin pasta). My husband also enjoyed his food and my son enjoyed his mac and cheese. We ate early and always felt our waitress was prompt. The following day we enjoyed breakfast at the breakfast buffet and loved that there were so many options. They had a omelette bar, waffles, a pancake making area, as well as all your typical hot breakfast foods, typical cereal/​bread/​juices and yogurt and fruit.
The second time here we were celebrating my father in law’s birthday and had six adults and two babies. They promptly found a seat for us. My father in law enjoyed his prime rib and so did my mother in law. Both my sister in law and I ordered a chicken dish (she got the sweet tea chicken and I got the boursin pasta again) and we both exclaimed how delicious the chicken is. What’s great is the Piedmont Grille uses local ingredients when possible so the chicken was from Springer Mountain Farms in GA. The kids also enjoyed their mac and cheese and chicken fingers. When we asked the waitress to take a picture of us because it was my father in law’s birthday, she quietly went in the back to prepare a piece of cake for my father in law and surprised him with a birthday cake, candle and song a few minutes later. What a wonderful surprise!
Breakfast the next morning was just as great. The waitresses were quick to remove empty plates from our table and the food was delicious. We all enjoyed our custom omelettes and my mother in law was a huge fan of the smoothies. Everyone enjoyed the meals we had at Piedmont Grille and we were thankful that we didn’t have to travel outside of the hotel to get good quality food (as you know traveling by car anywhere with a toddler is difficult). Thank you Piedmont Grille for consistent service, food, and quality.

Good, not great. I ate here three times for breakfast and once for dinner. The service is friendly, but very slow. I had to wait 30 minutes for yogurt and fruit one morning. The yogurt dish was very good. Dinner was okay, but there are few healthy choices available.
