    Special Thanksgiving dinner
    Kevin W.

    I would say this place absolutely gets 5 stars for being one of the few dining options at a resort property type of place like GWL and actually serving some decent food. I've eaten here probably 20 times as it's my normal dinner go to whenever I visit and stay at the water park (and I come very frequently) - and I've never really had a single bad meal in any respect. The standouts here are the strip steak, Alfredo pasta, bolognese spaghetti and the awesome burgers. Also a hugely popular option is the roast chicken. Their appetizers are pretty good, though the onion rings and wings tend to be my favorite go to's (the nachos are ok but not amazing). They also have a darn good chocolate lava cake. Even their special thanksgiving theme dinner was also very good (only served on thanksgiving day or close to it). The issue though is the deterioration of service quality that's gotten progressively worse over the past year or so. They sometimes seem understaffed or simply have extremely slow servers who are terrible at keeping up with orders. They also frequently (unless you specifically ask them otherwise) serve your appetizers at the same time as the entrees which is really annoying. I've also seen other customers get annoyed at the slow pace of food service in many cases. It's a reason why I don't consider this place a clear cut 5 star overall experience even if the food is very good. Generally speaking this is the best food you'll get on property (though their Hungry as a Wolf pizza joint is not bad either, albeit it's all take out there and Barnwood is way better than the awful food at Timbers which is their fast casual take out place). However, be prepared for some seriously inconsistent service as well as in some cases the food can be overly salty/overseasoned as well.

    Each and every time I've come here , I always have drinks here at the Barn wood. Service has always been awesome and the drinks always good . The restaurant is always well-kept. The decor is giving calm , come and relax type energy .

    Surprisingly amazing ... especially in comparison to the other food option in the Great wolf lodge and casino. You can access the restaurant without participating in the great wolf lodge but u do need a parking pass. No cash cards or room charge only .... The shrimp scampi Alfredo OMG! Chefs kiss. They sung happy birthday to those who were celebrating . Noisy not quite fine dining but decent.

    EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND MORE!!!!! We first visited water street a few months ago. We were tired of…read morethe resort food at GWL and couldn't endure another generic, fast food meal. We started looking up restaurants and Water Street popped up. When we pulled up, we weren't sure if we were at the right place. Based on the raving reviews, we expected a "flashy", fancy place. Instead it was so "unassuming." Upon walking in....it was just what we needed. It felt "home-y." The hostess greeted us with a warm smile and "welcome," along with some salt water taffy. Then we met our server Caden. He was outstanding!!!! He could tell we needed some good food and drinks and boy did he deliver. My husband and I took his recommendations and ordered the "banana old fashion" and crab crostini...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Then we met Cassie!!! She'd stopped by to see if our daughter (9) needed a refill. Her personality, hospitality, and attention was incredible. Between Caden and Cassie, we laughed so hard, quickly forgetting about the long day we'd had. Traveling often and coming from PA; good customer service is rare. So to find somewhere that makes us feel "right at home," is a blessing. My husband and daughter agreed, we had to come back. We returned yesterday for the second time but this time with our family (from ATL). We'd spoken (more like bragged) so much about our last experience, that they were just as excited as us to return. Once again, we saw our girl Cassie (who was just as amazing as the first time) and our server Jamie. Everything from the Chesapeake fondue, calamari, and cream of crab soup to the drinks and the double crab cakes (P.S they are huge...could barely eat one) were incredible. By the end of our meal, our family was just as impressed! Thank you Jamie and Cassie for such a unforgettable experience. We will be back again!!!

    The service was so nice food was amazing and the scenery was so good. I would definitely come here…read moreagain.

Can be a challenge finding parking during peak hours due to all of the restaurants in the area sharing the same lots. There's indoor seating, a bar, and outdoor seating as well. They also have a side porch. The menu is always changing as they keep it fresh and relevant to the season. There's a wide range of options available! They also have lots of specials and drink options. Crafty cocktails, beers (on tap, bottles, cans), wine, and anything else a full bar would have. This time we sat at the bar and happened to catch burger night. We ordered the All American and it was tasty. Also ordered the burrata board and this was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. It comes with toasted bread, fig jam, and prosciutto. The combo of all these things were amazing. Also ordered a crush flight! Such a cool concept and allows you to try different flavors all at once. Has the lemon blueberry margarita as well and it was just as good. Bartender was very busy but attentive and friendly. We were always being checked on and having glasses refilled. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. This is a great place that is very welcoming and comfortable. They do a terrific job sharing their talent of creating delicious food, cocktails all in a wonderful atmosphere. Greta place for a fancy dinner to celebrate something or a simple low key dinner at the bar. Give them a try!
