Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich
Edna L.

The fireside restaurant near the entrance on level 2 of great wolf lodge looked promising but wasn't as nice as it looked- we came for dinner. We ordered fire-braised chicken nacho stack(2 stars but large portion) , the braised short rib bolognese(4 stars but small portion) and the Nashville hot fried chicken (3 stars). The fries here are better than Buckets by the indoor park. Bbq sauce was good. Best part was the staff who were super friendly and welcoming. Beyond that, probably best to look elsewhere for food unless you're super hungry and don't want to travel far.

Cobb salad

I was overwhelmed after a day with the grandkids at an indoor waterpark the likes of which I've never seen. They absolutely loved it and I did participate on probably the busiest weekend of the year, Columbus Day weekend. It's amazing that the staff are able to do all they do to take care of everyone. There are several restaurants on premises and we chose this one to celebrate a three year-old birthday. We were seated in the back, which was wonderful for the two toddlers. The staff put several tables together and the atmosphere was very nice. The restaurant is beautifully appointed, and our waiter took care of us very well. I don't know why we expected more of a waterpark restaurant, but the food was mediocre. I ordered the Cobb salad and it was basically a big dish of iceberg lettuce with a few things sprinkled on it., topped with a handful of fake bacon My daughter ordered nachos and it was a big pile of chips with some melted cheese and very few toppings. The hamburger my husband ordered was a little more than the size of a white castle burger And one of our party ordered a steak which was minuscule. Oh, and the bar was out of tonic.

Kids meal served with fries and fruit. The accuracy of "fruit"-singular. My son didn't eat the Mac and cheese either. "Yucky"

The only reason to go here is because you're tired. It was a rainy day and I was exhausted so we decided to just suck it up and eat a quick meal at the lodge. I expected the prices to be high and was prepared for that. I did not expect to be sat at a table where the seats are duck taped. I did request to be moved (mostly so my son didn't have them ripped open by the end of the meal.) Spinach dip was good (but standard) my husband had steak and shrimp (ok) side of mash (thumbs down- dry and flavorless) Just suck it up and drive 2 miles out of the resort for good food.

Dynamite shrimp

We won't eat here again. They get three stars for prompt service. But, it took our waitress 10 minutes to come over. There was no silverware and no ketchup at our table. The restaurant was very dark but kid friendly. The kids Mac and cheese was gross. The fries were ok. The "fruit" was an orange wedge, a carrot stick and a celery still. It looked like they grabbed some "stuff" from the bar for drinks and wings. Our dynamite shrimp physically hurt to eat. It was very hard. My chicken bowl was white rice when advertised as brown. It was very bland. The pulled chicken was watery. My husbands burger was ok. The cocktails were good. Dinner was over $110 and I would have been happier with a slice of pizza. avoid this restaurant when staying at The Great Wolf Lodge.

Staff is friendly, but my steak frites was not good. Very hard to eat. No flavor at all. Had to use A1 sauce so that's not great. Not worth the price either, should have ordered something else. This was pretty bad. I always order steak medium rare and most of the time I don't need to rely on A1 sauce for flavor. Seriously bad. I love steak so much so this was very sad for me.

This is the nicest restaurant inside Great Wolf Lodge, and has a gorgeous bar. If you're celebrating an occasion or would like to have a special dinner without leaving the premises, or just want a nightcap (it's open all day for breakfast/lunch/dinner, and dinner is served until 9pm but the bar is open til 11), this is the one to go for. The food is fine, nothing to write home about but decent enough. If I were on the "outside" I'd expect better quality for the fare, but it's resort pricing, so you kinda have to expect a bit of upcharge, but it's not unreasonable. My steak was cooked a perfect medium rare but it's not the most tender and rather tasteless so I had to load it with salt and the aioli it came with. Fries were great though. Cornbread was a little dry. Turkey sandwich was tasty if somewhat salty. The grilled shrimp in the pasta alfredo was perfect. Service is excellent however and our waiter Nick was lovely. Food came out quickly and all the staff are very courteous and helpful. 3-3.5 but bumping to 4 for the overall pleasant experience and the nice atmosphere, and for the convenience of not having to leave GWL (and lose our good parking spot lol).

Love this place, the bartenders are super friendly, the drinks are good (even tho I only had wine) & the food is delish!

Asian dish cilantro chicken?
Kim D.

Service is meh. Food is meh. Price is up. Love great wolf lodge and highly recommend if you have little ones, but their dining options are not great. I got some Asian bowl and I tried their bbq slaw burger-not great, not even a photo because meh. I didn't finish most of food.

As expected, it is very overpriced but the food is delicious. This is the perfect spot to grab a bite and a drink while the kids are attending the dance parties and activities. The chicken on the chicken nachos was very soft and flavorful. I also very much enjoyed the flavor of the BBQ wings and the burger which were both cooked to perfection. They currently have themed drinks for Halloween which were also delicious. The facility is convenient, clean, and well themed. And staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend and return.

Foods great! Fish…read moreand chips was phenomenal Wings were awesome and they give you a bunch. Kids cups, they're supposed to close fyi. Bring a kids cup if you're going for dinner and have kids

Did a midweek get away and found this place. Looked it up and there were pretty good reviews so we…read moredecided to try it. The staff was very nice and seated us promptly, we were sat at a table that was booth on one side and chair on the other but it was an extra tall bar stool type table. Soon as I sat down the sun was right in my eyes. Yes only a small nuisance till the bar tender shut a blind (because the bar folks were effected) but there were so many empty table. Why sit us at this table ? There were plenty of other tables that would not have had this issue. Not sure why the hostess would not know not to use this table for this time of day. Other then that the place was very clean and a normal pub type atmosphere. Nothing super special though. We started off with an appetizer called the "Texas Twinkie" - okay. I read "twinkie" and think some form of cake/bread with a filling. What we got was more of an egg roll. The outside was either a wonton type wrap or a tortilla then filled with brisket, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeño, and BBQ sauce. This was very delicious but definitely misleading in the name and the menu didnt really describe the item, it only give the name and listed the ingredients. I bring this up because we also ordered the traditional pizza.... what we got was more of a flatbread and pretty bland as well. Super basic bread with a lack of flavor marinara sauce and cheese. Also the sauce to cheese ratio was sad. You can tell this because all the cheese on the slice would come right off with 1 bite. We would not order this again based on the price and what was served. I also had the French onion soup. This was pretty well done. Not to salty, no crazy cheeses added. It was well balanced and was worth getting. My partners entree was the barley creek whiskey BBQ sauce on chicken tenders. These were just ok. The sauce seemed more tomatoe based then normal for a BBQ sauce and again just wasn't what one would expect from the name whiskey Bbq sauce. I am sure people do like this place but it wasn't very impressive to us. 3 out 5 stars is a fair rating as service was good for the most part, the place was clean with a decent amount of menu options, but the execution of the food lacked and the menu names are definitely misleading for the items we had ordered.
