As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, stepping into The Lodge felt like diving into a menu that speaks comfort, creativity, and pure indulgence. I started with their Pimento Cheese Dip—warm, creamy, with just enough Southern flair to make you crave seconds. But the true showstopper in the starters was the Deviled Eggs of the Week—each bite a delightful surprise of tangy-sweet innovation.
Salad lovers won’t be disappointed. The Buffalo Chicken Salad packs a spicy punch balanced by crisp greens, while the Arugula Salad is a refreshing medley of peppery leaves and citrusy notes that reset the palate.
Craving handhelds? You’re covered. The OG is a classic, juicy and satisfying, but The Firebird—a spicy fried chicken masterpiece—is the one that had me sweating and smiling at the same time. Meanwhile, their Smash Burgers, especially The Cure and The Blue Star, prove The Lodge takes burger crafting seriously.
And then comes the comfort food heaven: the Chicken & Waffles is the perfect balance of crispy, tender, and sweet. The Full Bird Meal with sides felt like a Sunday family dinner done right.
For the more adventurous, The Shakedown and The Harvest Bowl offer a creative twist—layered flavors and textures that keep every bite interesting. Even the kids' menu is thoughtful, with a Mini Mac & Cheese that had me sneaking a bite from my nephew's plate.
Don’t skip the sides—the Sweet Potato Fries are golden perfection—and definitely save room for dessert. The Funnel Fries with Blueberry Jam are pure nostalgic joy on a plate.
From comforting classics to inventive bites, The Lodge delivers a menu that’s both soulful and stylish. Every dish feels like it was made to be your next favorite.
