Stopped by today for dinner while my fam bam and I are staying here for the weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge and we were in the mood for pasta and wings. The service was very quick and our server was so sweet and attentive! I love the ambiance. It was pretty spacious as well. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for starters, my son got buffalo wings, my husband got chili lime chicken bowl, and I got the grilled chicken Alfredo. All of the food was yummy! I will say the wings could be a little more crispy (just our personal preference). Other than that everything else was great! I just wish they had more steak options for being a steak house, but they did offer 1 steak meal. I would check this place out if you are ever here. The price point can get expensive depending on what you get as a heads up. read more

Yes - I'm actually giving a restaurant located within Great Wolf Lodge 4 stars! I would not make Barnwood a destination, but if you are staying at GWL, this is not a bad option if you don't want to leave the property... I was pleasantly surprised with my experience on a recent Saturday night! I had a party of five... me, my two kids, and two of their friends. I made a reservation on Yelp, and our table was ready a few minutes after our reservation time... Isaiah was our server and took great care of us... We found service extremely attentive and the food was not bad! We ordered wings and artichoke dip as appetizers and the kids liked the wings so much, we went for a second order. Of course, once that came, they were no longer interested -- go figure... kids! For entrees, the kids all ordered from the kids menu: a cheeseburger, mac & cheese and buttered noodles. I had the salmon. Everyone did pretty well! I opted not to have a cocktail, but their adult drink menu had plenty to offer... Kids enjoyed Shirley Temples and lemonade. I also found the pricing to be pretty reasonable... all things considered. All of the above and we were out the door for around $125. So once again, don't go out of your way to go here, but if you're staying at GWL and want a decent meal, you can't go wrong at Barnwood! read more

Barnwood - Salmon entree - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

It's a restaurant within Great Wolf Lodge - don't have wildly high expectations so you won't be disappointed. Our server (Brandon) was very friendly, pleasant and personable. Menu was compact, though there were some standard kids options. Portion sizes were decent, fries were tasty, food came out in a reasonable amount of time. My "steak frites" were a bit dry, but I didn't have terribly high expectations. We didn't get dessert but there were some decent-looking options. This is one of the few non-poolside dining options at GWL. No wait on a random summer Tuesday night. read more

Awesome! Made modifications to nearly all of our food was able to have corn without butter or cheese. Very accommodating!

We first started coming to Barnwood a few years ago, and what I appreciated then was the convenience of having a nice sit-down dining option right inside Great Wolf Lodge without needing to drive anywhere. At that time, the food was just okay -- not terrible, but nothing memorable. On our most recent visit, however, I was impressed. The restaurant has really stepped up with better food quality and improved service. The new menu is a big upgrade, and both my kids and I enjoyed our meals. It feels like Barnwood has made a real effort to improve, and it shows. Convenient, family-friendly, and much more enjoyable than in the past -- I'm glad we gave it another try. read more

I don't know what people expect here with their one star reviews... we dined on Sunday 11-14-21. I didn't take pics cause I was so hungry and tired after a long drive from Vegas. Tanner gave us great service. Quick and efficient. Food came out fast - Caesar salad added chicken and a chicken quesadilla with no chipotle sauce. Came out correct and my quesadilla was great. It tasted very good and worked for a late late dinner after we got into town and checked into great wolf lodge. This experience outshined the actual stay at the lodge. Hubby had the salad and pretty much finished the plate. We have no real complaints other than yea a bit pricey but not unexpected. read more

The service we had was very fast. We were seated quickly and acknowledged within a few minutes by the server. Once we placed our order the food and drinks came out quickly. Everything was served hot and fresh. This place must be very accustomed to serve hungry families fast. I recommend the Great Wolf LIT for an adult beverage, it will help you relax after a stressful day pleasing your kids. You deserve it, your a great parent. read more

Barnwood - Spicy Shrimp Pasta - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The service is great. You know the staff is the least heard and first to work their butts off. I appreciate the bartender making me a drink and knowing that it was an experiment and the bartender gets two thumbs up. Ya the restaurant could up its game for the price. Come on. Be more then. Mediocre. Be the event. With that said I think the back staff are doing great with what they're given. 4 stars the staff service read more

Staying at Wolf Creek Lodge March 7-10th. First night here we walked down and were seated quickly. Once sat down we had a waitress walk by us back and forth over 5 times without so much as making eye contact. On the last time by I stopped her and asked if she was our server. She said no, but that she'd send someone over, this was already 10 minutes into our wait. Another 10 minutes pass and my 8 year old daughter, who is starving btw is asking why we haven't been given water and that she was so hungry. Finally we stood up and started heading out when a waitress that just looked annoyed came over. By then we'd had it and headed off property to get sushi. I'm paying a very large amount of money to stay at this lodge, you'd think I'd at least be able to get a meal or some common courtesy from the restaurant waitstaff. Do better, this is not acceptable. We'll see how the next 3 days go. Can't comment on food quality because we never even got water! read more

Was here last night we received excellent service our waitress Leila sorry not sure if that was her name. She was very attentive and answered all our questions thank u. For the food it was just ok... my steak was a little bland And my brothers pasta had no flavor at all. We didn't complain just saying. Dessert was delicious In my opinion I would come back to eat here, but glad I tried read more

Overpriced, mediocre food. Really the only reason to go here is ... well, there actually is no reason to go here. Literally anywhere else would be an upgrade. Service was just okay. Slow, but fairly friendly. Order was accurate, which is a plus. read more

Staff not very accommodating to seat us when there were tables available. Sophomoric.

What a great place!! So lucky this is here at Great Wolf Lodge!! Hubby had ribs which he enjoyed! I loved my wild mushroom papadelle (sp)--pasta haha. Soooo yum! Loved how rich and creamy it was and the earthyness from the mushrooms. The asparagus was a lovely addition!! The kids each tried items from the kids menu and 3 diff kids coolers. They recommend the berry and the dragon... Not the dreamsicle!! My mojito was on point! It was mild and fresh! read more

This restaurant is no longer good. We went twice, in 2021 and 2022 and really enjoyed the food and drinks. Tried it again Sep 2023 and every item was awful. I would assume there is no longer an executive chef in charge. The Alfredo pasta was like lightly flavored milk, with dry reheated chicken, and hard broccoli. Other meals including appetizers, burger, and kids meals were just not good. Comparable to a low cost chain restaurant. Super disappointing as it was nice to have an option with finer dining in the hotel. read more

The service and food here was just exceptional! If you're staying at the Great Wolf Lodge (or even want to indulge in some delicious food) 10/10 I would recommend this place. I unfortunately was too hungry to take a picture of mine and my husbands food, but did take a picture of their soft warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream and it's delicious! read more

Great service, delicious high-quality food w/pleasant modern decor. I'm not sure why this place isn't getting great reviews. My boyfriend and I ate here 3 times with our 3 small children during our stay at Great Wolf Lodge. We were surprised by the quality and flavor profiles of the food. Being from the San Francisco area, we know what good food is and we genuinely enjoyed our meals. I got the filet with blue cheese crust on top and a side of mac n cheese and street corn. All of it was delicious! Meat was high quality and flavorful. Mac n cheese tastes like Stouffer's frozen mac n cheese - in a good way! The street corn was particularly flavorful; I got it all 3 times we ate here. My boyfriend got the rib eye one night and the rack of ribs the other two nights. He said it was excellent as well. And it's an easy place to go w kids bc they supply kids menus and placemats to color. For dessert, I highly recommend the chocolate chip cookie skillet! It's ooey, gooey, and delicious!!! read more

Max at the bar does the best old fashioned! He was attentive and accommodating. We would return simply for that. Thank you!

Don't go out of your way to eat here. In fact, there are many other nearby places that will be better. We went there for late dinner on a Wednesday. First, it was really really noisy. We couldn't hear ourselves talk. Secondly, while our server was nice (hence 2 stars and not 1), the order came out wrong. Thirdly, our apps came out at same time as our entrees. Fourthly, the steak and salmon were bland. We had to cover them in hot sauce. Save yourself! read more

Hmm.. well, was worth a shot because we were tired from all the activities. It's a shame the food wasn't good because I feel this place could be better if they didn't precook or use cheap ingredients in there food menu items. Ordered the Wedge salad, I got bacon bits, onion slices, and sliced Cherry tomatoes, with a WHOLE HEAD of lettuce. Was a first ... Never seen it done that way :: Ordered the kids Mac and cheese, was scary, almost looked like it wasn't gonna survive the next hour as it was old and mushy. The $9.99 burger had cheese on it and that's it.. so I added Lettuce to it from my salad. The kids blue drink was not well .. it also needs help as the kids couldn't drink it. The mushroom pendelle noodle dish - pre cooked to be a pasty type of sauce lacking mushrooms.. ugh I would avoid this place unless you absolutely have to eat here.. also the tacos beware of the Packaged cilantro that looks like it has BACTERIA growing on it... guess you can take the chance though as the employees seem to not mind feeding it to people.. Enjoy the Photos!! read more

This place was very accommodating for a party of 16. The service was great and so was all of the meal. I was impressed that the kids orders were served ahead. Good Job on that, I definitely loved the food portions and how attentive the staff was. read more

While our food good, the service went from disappointing, to frustrating. The restaurant only had 3 other tables occupied at the time we came in. All of the service staff were leaning on the back walls near the kitchen, a majority looking miserable to be there. After waiting quite some time, my husband went back up to the hostess to ask who our server was for the evening, and the hostess had to go get her on the back wall. We placed our drink order and dinner order at the same time as we'd had plenty of time to make our selections. The food came out promptly and was good, but our drinks never came. The server never returned to our table to ask how our food was or if we needed anything. Finally at the end of the meal, my husband had to get up to go get our server who was back to leaning on the wall near the kitchen to ask for our bill. When we got the bill, we'd been charged for all drinks we never received, so we politely asked them to he removed. There was no apology for the over sight, nor a single smile. It's a shame the service was so poor as the food was pretty good, but we don't want to feel like we're a burden to someone's day when we're spending good money to dine in your restaurant. I'm not sure we'd go back. read more

This was a great family meal! Our kids were hungry and Barnwood delivered! Lu was a very gracious and courteous server! Thank you Barnwood! Thank you Great wolf lodge! read more

Food and service were great! Will definitely dine here again if we visit Great Wolf Lodge in the future.

Some dishes are good. Others are not. The half-chicken was dry. Ribs were really good. The cookie desert didn't taste like a cookie or pizookie. It tasted like graham cracker crust with chocolate chips. They also need to use hot fudge on that and the s'mores dessert instead of Hershey's syrup. Calamari was great but it's a small serving for an app. For the price, they should give the kids two meatballs for their kids meal. Overall, it's decent but overpriced. They cut some corners to save money and shouldn't. read more

Very mediocre at best. Not at all what I expected. Would have been worth leaving the property for dinner.

Does not honor reservations. No customer service experience with manager. Not many servers on floor.

Lightening fast, friendly service! Delicious food! 2 of 4 out of our party have food allergies and that made sure we were super safe. Perfect set up! read more

We had such a good experience at this restaurant with my family. We came to eat around 5pm on a Friday and it wasn't busy! But by the time we left, 6pm, they were packed! Our food was very delicious and my husband was obsessed with their fries! So much that we ate here again the following day. Our meals were prepared to our liking and our kids loved the kids meal. Their portion sizes are also really good! Service was slow but the staff was really friendly and we didn't mind the wait especially when the food tasted really good! The pricing was a bit high especially if you have a big family. But we have vouchers which helped bring the final price down. read more

I have had better frozen food. They have higher prices tricking you into thinking the food must be good. Nope! Absolutely bland and horrible food. Better off ordering food from grub hub or leaving the property. Worst $120 spent! Save your time and money. read more

We always enjoy eating here for dinner when we stay at Great Wolf Lodge! We never leave the hotel everything is available in the hotel. Our favorite is the s'mores for dessert. You have your mini campfire at your table and you make your s'more! The kids love it! read more

The place is very nice looking and the menu makes it sound like it will be delicious. But the food was seriously lacking and way overpriced for what it was. They don't include important details, like things are smothered in barbecue sauce, or it's a split chicken on your plate not just chicken breasts. The sweet potato hash was soggy cold tater tots. The chicken was rubbery with thick gooey skin on it still. The burgers we're fairly good but needed some sort of sauce on them. The food in the pool area is way better then this sit-down restaurant is. read more

Barnwood - Adobe chicken meal ($18) Do NOT recommend getting this. Chicken was rubbery, and the "hash" was cold soggy tater tots. - American Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I was excited to eat at the Barnwood that is attached to the Great Wolf Lodge. I looked through Yelp and saw some pretty low reviews so I was hesitant but I saw some pretty good photos and had decided on the burger and fries. Here is where things started to go south for us. We were able to get a table right away but then we were on our own. We sat and we sat until someone finally addressed us. She dropped the menus and rushed away. I know that she rushed away because she was busy but a quick conversation would have let us understand things better. We sat for a bit longer and she made her way back. 1 hour into this and we are barely getting our drinks coming in. After awhile longer the food arrived but we were well beyond frustrated by this point. Sitting in this loud restaurant with little to no service is no way to spend your $100 at GWL. I would recommend going to eat offsite. The worst part of it all was the food was actually pretty dang good but it comes at the price of a 3 hour dinner with 3 kids who are tired and cranky. No Thanks! read more
