    Went a few years ago, and it was pretty good. While my memory is fuzzy, I did have some decent scallops, and the salad was good.

    Very friendly service and the OG Burger was excellent. Did not take long for the order to arrive…read more If your looking for a quick and filling lunch, and your around the area, it's worth the trip.

    Before you read this review. I want to preface this with, I have only been there once. EVERY…read morerestaurant in existence has had days where things they cannot control happen. I will definitely go back, and eat from their food menu, and take pics. I didn't take any pics, because our experience didn't seem to align with all the 4 and 5 star reviews. which signals to me, that our experience may not have been a normal experience. We had never been and had not heard much about it. I checked out their website first. Which is a fun looking website. It appeared to be a diner that also sold ice cream. We pulled in, there were outside tables set up under shaded canopies. Lots of space for kids to run around We noticed the front had a walk up and order Ice cream window. Past that was the door to the restaurant part. The restaurant inside area was small, The menu sounded amazing. Chili dogs, fried hot dogs, they had some interesting hot dog ideas, as well as Hamburgers, fish plates etc. shakes, Ice cream. Very laid back atmosphere. If you have kids, it will be a super, affordable win. It definitely has its place in Lodi, and I do see they are a big success with Ice Cream and take out. Which is what I wish we did. The first thing that hit us when we walked in was the smell of fish, it was a super strong offensive odor. I looked to my right and saw a few people at the table with fish baskets. I thought to myself, that must be where the odor was coming from. But wondered why they smelled so bad. We sat down, ooh'ed and ahhh'd over the menu, but still nose crinkled over the odor of fish. We decided that the kitchen must not have good ventilation either and we were smelling every fish fry they had cooked that day, and maybe even more days. I do not recommend eating inside. Then we noted the flies. We were swatting left and right. I know restaurants have flies, it is hard to keep them out of the kitchen, and they are expected in outdoor seating, but inside the restaurant. Nope! That's even a Big Nope for me. Little miss outdoors. We decided to leave the indoor seating area, skip lunch, and ordered Ice cream outside at the window. Dessert for lunch felt a bit naughty, in a fun way. Yes, I heard it too. I am an adult, that doesn't like adulting. Haha! We ordered soft serve twists. Our rational being that just the soft serve machine needed to be clean. So there was no chance of flys landing on it. We are not weird germaphobes, but once your brain starts down that rabbit hole, sometimes you just cannot find your way back, that was us. We were down the rabbit hole. The Ice cream was really good, ALL of the employees were very nice. We felt no judgement leaving the table and going outside to order Ice cream. While we were waiting for our ice cream, the wind shifted and the odor was just disgusting. This was outside, we took a look around and we found a Porto-potty on the side of the building. Just around the corner from the Ice cream pick up window, and next to that was a Dumpster. So take your pick on what caused the odor. While we were in our car we decided to play a game of what we would do differently, if we owned it. This what we came up with. 1) Deep clean the inside eating area 2) add ventilation to the kitchen and dining area. 3) add a mesh, magnetic fly door. 4) make sure employees are also swatting and disposing of flys. 5) move dumpster to front left side of parking lot. 6) buy a portable- potty trailer, those will need magnetic mesh fly doors on those as well.

    My wife and I visited the Finger Lakes region for the first time at the end of July, and we stayed…read moreclose to the Dresden Hotel. It is a really cute old building that is funky and cozy. We had dinner there twice during our week-long stay. The owner is darling and made us feel so welcome, and our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The first night we ordered the fish fry and a salad, and the fish fry (haddock) was so incredibly good that we ordered the same thing the second night we went back! The fish was delicious, and came with fries and coleslaw, and the salad was fantastic as well. Everything was made with very fresh ingredients and was freshly prepared to order. We were sad to leave the finger lakes for many reasons, but not being able to dine regularly at the Dresden Hotel is one of them. We will be back for another trip as soon as we can. Please make sure to stop in and support this great family-run small business. You can then go to Mr Twistee or the Spotted Duck for ice cream afterwards! The world needs more Dresden Hotels!

    A place where time has stopped. We had hoped a place with "Hotel" in it would be a bit more classy…read more No luck. For me it was like a step back into the '70s. Paneling, fluorescent lights, bartender watching TV and those backlit graphics that were popular in Chinese restaurants. ( My 9 year old and I later joked that there was no wi-fi in there because there was no wi-fi in the 70s) That said .... we were greeted by the Grandmotherly owner/waitress ( hubby was the bartender) and got to choose a booth. Menu is basic home-cooking. It was good. It may not make many Michelin stars but DEFINITELY take the kids for an experience.
