The event was at The Lake Room with spectacular views of Lake Hopatcong. There was a bubbly bar where guests can make your own mimosas from a display of prosecco, accompanied by assorted juices and a variety of fresh seasonal berries. I enjoyed making my own fruity and tropical pineapple mimosas. The brunch buffet consisted of scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon, mixed spring greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette, assorted seasonal fruits, yogurt parfaits, chicken francese, penne a la vodka, and garlic green beans. All the food I had was very good, flavorful, delectable, and filling. The staff were very friendly and attentive. They came around asking if we needed anything and cleared plates. Water, coffee, tea, and soda were included. The Lake Room is very spacious and has high ceilings.

I mean, how can you go wrong here? No matter where I am it seems like the people are all the same. We came here for breakfast while traveling to Albany, NY on our way to our Kiwanis special meeting. From the second you're on the porch of CB until you sit down, it's like a deja vous from one restaurant to another. Always a nice greeting when you walk in and usually seated right away. My wife and I were with friends so there were a lot of delicious meals on the table. It was a Friday and I had the delicious 'fish fry' of fried catfish and mashed potatoes and my wife had the pot roast. What's nice is their consistency from location to location and their food which always matches my level of expectation. This place never disappoints you no matter what you order. All delicious and huge portions of food. Our waiter was delightful-pleasant-helpful who was genuinely concerned that everything at our table was to our liking. The level of caring here is commendable. KUDO's to the Cracker Barrel franchise and their incredible teams. I am a fan. Who knows, one day.... Long Island. (Can you imagine the line they'll have there?)

We chose to sit inside, so the view of the lake was blocked by our booth, but you can sit on the porch for 360 degree views of the water. I would definitely recommend this, as the views are the highlight of the experience. The service is also very polite and accommodating, as they indulged my request to add chicken to my dish. I ordered the Chimichurri Mushroom, and as mentioned, added chicken. The dish needed a protein, and would've been very light otherwise. Everything was cooked well, but my dish was swimming in oil. I was really turned off by this. I also found everything, including the Chimichurri, to be quite bland. Overall I had high hopes for this place, especially due to the location, but the food itself wasn'y worth returning for.

Food: We started with garlic bread that was absolutely awesome, followed by grilled octopus with a perfectly balanced, succulent marinade. I had shrimp with pasta, while my mother-in-law enjoyed a fillet of sole stuffed with crab meat and my wife had the cavatelli with broccoli. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. Service: Our waitress, Casey, was excellent. Always checking in and very polite throughout the meal. She made the whole dining experience feel welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. Aesthetic: The restaurant has a warm, inviting look with stonework accents along the walls and an open barn-style concept. The lighting creates a comfortable atmosphere, and there's plenty of seating for both small groups and larger gatherings.

We were sold just by how friendly they were, so we came here for lunch. There is a pretty big parking lot as it is actually located in a boat rental facility. Upon entering we were greeted with the same friendliness we experienced over the phone. The service was great, and the prices were also extremely fair. The menu is small, which is nice because it makes it easier to decide what to get. There were four of us, and we all loved what we ordered. There are a few tables outdoors right nearby the docks, so you can watch boats come and go on the lake while you enjoy your food. The service was so good, they even gave us a bowl of water and some treats for our dog! When we left they were so thankful and told us about some events they have coming up, they do car shows! This is definitely going to be our go to spot whenever we are in the area for a hike or camping! The only thing I would suggest would be to have a little more signage outside so it is a little easier to spot from the road.

The service just wasn't good. 1/5 stars Food: Burrata salad was good and so were truffle fries. I enjoyed them both. That was the best part of the meal. The surf and turf was disappointing. Ribeye steak with scallops. The meal wasn't worth the price being charged. Maybe it was the way it was cooked, but I can't make excuses. Flavor was nothing to talk about. Asparagus was fine.
