    Good food but over priced. You also have to share a table with other people, which is a little weird.

    Tried to go for lunch, but they only serve breakfast now. Went back the next day for breakfast and…read morewe were offered a buffet. The buffet was a selection of soft biscuits, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes with hot syrup, fried potatoes and baked apples. They also had an assortment of cereal, yogurt and granola. The view is spectacular. Just through the trees and off of a green grass landing is the lake. There is a bench to sit on, if you so desire. The lodge is self is run down. Could tolerate someone to spruce up the place a bit with a coat of paint, cleaning out the flowerbeds and maybe removing the vegetation from the tennis court. You can tell this place was five at one time.

    Let's talk about the view first. WOW!!! An unbelievable view from your table overlooking Kentucky…read moreLake. Absolutely stunning!! We arrived at Kenlake State Park for a weekend get away and after a long drive this restaurant hit the spot. My husband ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and was pleasantly surprised. The food was hot, cheese sticky and a huge portion. Most of the menu items are typical American food. I ordered the classic cheeseburger dressed and salad bar. The cheeseburger came well dressed and huge. The food was hot and delicious. The salad bar was mediocre, it did not have very many vegetables on the bar and that was disappointing.

    We went for dinner and got the lunch menu as they are one and the same. Had a buffet option of…read morefrozen fried foods, stuffed peppers that could have been mistaken for meatballs drowning in tomato sauce. String beans were swimming in bacon fat with fatty chunks. Another option was the soup and salad bar. White bean soup was like wallpaper paste. Broccoli soup was just as pasty but green. Neither had any flavor. Salad bar had bare minimals. Soup bowls were either a tiny butter dish or a ramekin. When I asked for a soup bowl the waitress pointed to my 2 choices. We shared a club sandwich which was ok. Went for breakfast the next day because the nearest town is 20 minutes away. Breakfast buffet was poor so we ordered off the menu. My traditional breakfast was fair. Ham steak was the highlight of my meal. Never got the potatoes that came with my plate. Also a first for me. Got the heal or end of the bread. Whole place is closed next year for major renovations. Should have closed sooner. Dining room overlooks the lake. Too bad the outside desk wasn't open.

    Favorite thing here is their fried chicken and catfish! We've also been to Wild game night and that…read morewas awesome-- Lots of variety and it was on point! Seafood night is just okay, but we wouldn't come back for it. Typical salad bar, dessert table with rotating pie/cake/ banana pudding (hot) & Vanilla soft serve machine. The staff is friendly. The best person is their head chef, Jack! What an awesome guy! Willing to go the extra mile for you and always has a smile on his face! Great balcony view and lots of seating inside.

We had been here over the summer, and stopped by with our daughter to share the experience. Service is always good, and some of the food is great. It seemed like the 1 inch porkchop was not as good as the gigantic one I had last time, but I coykd be crazy. My husband woukd say I was crazy, so there is that. My daughter loved her fish. The mashed potatoes with white gravy were so good, I ate those first. Hubby asked for a garden salad with salmon. He got a spinach salad with salmon. Our server brought it out and offered to have it remade, but the salad looked wonderful and he really enjoyed it. Kudos to the chef for standing his ground haha. We were too full for dessert. Highly recommend, for the experience and the cute period clothing. Get reservations though! We have to wait over an hour on our first visit. We made reservations the 2nd time and we're seated within 10 minutes.

    We didn't eat at the restaurant but we went around the settlement and it was really neat. We…read moreenjoyed the gardens and just strolling through. It was really nice to see the birds and the koi pond. We stopped and had 18 holes of mini golf. The course was fun and a challenge. They had some really nice shops. We got some haystack chocolates and they were really good. The staff were friendly. We will definitely be back to try the actual restaurant. This is a great place to take kiddos as well.
