The Lodge

I never have a bad experience. Every time I come here I always get treated nice. I brought my good friend Pro Wrestler and WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley last time I came here. He loved the food. He enjoyed his experience as well. No matter what time you go the food is always great. Bring friends/​family from out of town and have them experience a great time.

Every time I go here I like it more & more. The food is always good, and the staff is always good & makes you feel welcome.
Went here again last night (New Years Eve) & we both had great meals, I had Baked Sea Scallops & my Wife had the Filet Mignon, both were absolutely delicious!
Looking forward to our next visit!

Had my parents 25^th anniversary party here. Owner was friendly and organized. Will host events at the lodge in the future.

Quick service, hot and delicious food, let us choose our seating. Definitely recommend the Gouda Burger.

Good food. Reasonable prices and nice décor. I enjoyed it

My wife and I went to the Lodge for dinner. My wife had the lobster topped baked haddock and I had the baked stuffed haddock. We both thought the fish was overcooked especially the lobster. The vegetables and baked potato were under cooked. I won’t be returning.

Old place but they are making upgrades. We sat at the bar and the bartender was a trip. She was super nice and had just the right amount of service without annoying over service. We had the pasta diavlo and chicken parm. HUGE portions and good prices. I would say go here when you’re looking for something relaxed without big city expectation.
P. S.- to the guy who said the place was decorated with flamingos… clearly you have never seen a crane.

Went here for wings recently. Not a wing place! They were ok tasting, but you only get 7 in an order for 9.00. Maybe good as an appetizer but not enough food for dinner!

This place has a nostalgic, unpretentious, rustic atmosphere. There are cozy booths with lake views and huge moose heads on the walls. The menu is like an upscale diner with sandwiches, shellfish, steaks and seafood. We were there for lunch, so I got a rueben sandwich and steamed broccoli, and my boyfriend got a burger and a Sam Adams. It’s no dining destination but it totally hit the spot, and I’ll be back if I’m driving by! Five stars for atmosphere and impeccably cooked classics.

We stop here several times a year. The food is pretty good for pub food. Good place for keno, popcorn and burgers. The place is something out of the 70s from the menu (along with sald bar — who has a sald bar anymore?) to the décor. Both could benefit with being updated. The salad bar is ugly. Wilted lettuce, small little bowls, greasy salad dressing containers. Once they had clam chowda and it was a little bit in a heating container and was like wallpaper paste. The rug of the place needs seriously cleaning or just needs replaced. NOW THE GOOD — burgers are great, french fries are hand cut, the food is pretty good including the appetizers and entrees. If they could just clean the place up, update the menu, and pay attention to the details, the place would be a gem. Local place where everyone knows everyone else but if they could make some small changes it cold be a place people might go out of their way to visit.

I had the twin lobster special. it was very good and affordable. The bartender Claire gave excellent service. A very homey atmosphere! Will come back when in the area again.

We thought it was pretty decent. The waitress was extremely nice (Ruthie I think?). We stopped just because it looked interesting, I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews first. Salad bar comes with just about every meal. We’ll go back if we’re ever in that area again.

This place is a nightmare. I went yesterday with my family. So, this was a Sunday evening at 7:30. There was only one other table in the restaurant. Red flag! The décor was horrible and haphazard (mountain lodge & flamingos?) There was a considerable amount of debris on the floor in the corner of the dining room. The man with the ponytail that seated us was arrogant. The waitress sauntered over and never introduced herself, read the specials, asked if we wanted more drinks, nor even asked if the food was alright. Seriously?
We were there to celebrate my dad and brother’s birthdays. My dad chose this place because he wanted to try the family-​style chicken. The waitress never bothered to ask him if he would like any more.
I would highly recommend that you take your hard-​earned money elsewhere. I don’t imagine this place will be around much longer anyhow.

More follow,

Good food, reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Fun ski lodge décor.

Returning from Ct. last night the fiancé and I stopped her for dinner. We both had the Sunday night All you can eat chicken special served family style. The food was mediocre and the service was on the slow side though the waitress was friendly enough. We didn’t even bother getting seconds we ate enough to quiet the tummies and left. Wouldn’t bother going back again. As it was night time we didn’t even know they were on a lake so we missed that part of the ambiance.

The Lodge is close to my grandparents home in Woodstock, Ct, so I find myself dining at this rather rustic eatery a few times a year when I take them out. I will start by saying, I like the Lodge and would frequent it if it were closer to my home in Boston.
The food is better than decent. They have great seafood offerings (although their house seafood stuffing uses the fake crab crap that I detest), good steak selection — cooked to the perfect temperature of your choice, portions are generous, prices are reasonable and a quirky thing that I really like — they serve gooey cinnamon buns in the bread basket (yum!). Service is fair — the poor waitstaff are beyond harried and have very little time to attend to your needs, as the huge dining room is packed with large parties and there are no bus staff or food runner (ahem — owners… if you had a food runner, I wouldn’t have to wait 20 mins. after I get my steak to ask for steaksauce).
I expect a lot, I know. Honestly, I really like the Lodge and look forward to my next visit.

Keno and popcorn at the bar? I’m down. haha. The Lodge was definitely a pleasant surprise. Walking in. there are Christmas lights, American flags, moose heads, and a bronze plate collection. The side window seats give you a bit of a view of Lake Webster (AKA Lake C-​insert-​really-​long-​name-​here-​go-​look-​it-​up). The atmostphere was interesting to say the least. Definitely not what I’m used to living downtown. But the food. on to the food.
For an appetizer we had the stuffed mushrooms. They were cooked just right and made with the restaurant’s own seafood stuffing. My lunch came with garlic bread (a very small portion) and a garden salad (not a fan of the chunks of onions they didn’t separate. but that’s just me being picky). Also, there was a LOT of dressing on the salad. For an entrée, I had the sea scallop pasta alfredo. It was creamy but not overwhelming. The portion was big so my arteries forced me to take half of it home. My friend had the steak teriyaki salad which surprisingly didn’t come with its own dressing. She had it with Italian (on the side) and said it was pretty good.
The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive (never had to ask for a refill) and when we first came in pretty much everyone there said hello. giving it that family owned feel (btw, it is). When we left, we got the same genuine reaction. I’ll definitely go back if I’m in the area again.
Note: They have two banquet rooms you can rent out overlooking Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. AKA Lake Webster.
EDIT: Went back. had the bourbon steak tips. DELICIOUS. ;)
