Food was good, the entertainment was even better. This place is one of the few where you can grab a quick meal without reservations. It's a bar so beverages are where they are especially good.

While vacationing at Big Cedar do not neglect to stop at the Buzzard Bar for lunch or dinner. We've had the friendliest servers and the atmosphere is very log-cabinish cool. There is a small amount of outside seating overlooking a pool. The menu includes a nice variety of choices but my two absolute favorites are the Signature Beef Brisket Poutine and the Devils Pool Smokehouse Chili. The Poutine is loaded with a super generous portion of tender brisket smothered with gravy, cheese curds and fries. A meal in itself or a shared appetizer. The bowl of chili is chock full of chunks of tender beef and beans topped with onions and cheese. Best chili ever!

This was our entertainment for the evening, the Singing Cowboy

We had such a great time at Buzzard Bar. The food was great, plenty of different cocktails, and fun entertainment. Our waiter was extremely friendly and attentive to our group. The atmosphere was so quaint and welcoming.

This place is absolutely hands down perfection. The food was delectable, the environment was lodge cozy, friendly service. The restaurant is part of Big Cedar Lodge development but not the main part, it is off to the side. There is a suspended walking bridge as well as vehicle bridge that is so quaint and beautiful. From the bridge there is a amazing waterfall view as well as the canyon below. Gorgeous. The restaurant is a log cabin, and just teaming with cozy warmth. I love all the finishing touches with the large fireplaces and decor. I came for lunch, was sat that right away, the restaurant wasn't too busy. I sat next to the window with a beautiful view of the lodge next to it and the canyon below. The weather is a bit dreary but it still had a cozy vibe. I ordered the cinnamon toast drink that was warm apple cider with rum. I liked the warmth, was a bit too sweet for my taste. Jay was my server and was the ultimate pro. He was friendly, had great follow-up and was on top of it! Great customer service. I went ahead and splurged and got a few things, knowing that I would be taking the remainder back with me for dinner. I had the deviled eggs, which had pickled eggs, salmon, very tasty. I had a cup of chili which was rich, nice chunks of meat, and a robust flavor. Topped with cheese, this chili does not disappoint! I also got the bar-b+q burger with french fries. This is one of the biggest burgers I've ever had It was topped with brisket, a delicious barbecue sauce, fried jalapenos. So good. The fries were thick and crispy, really nice. This was definitely a fabulous treat and I would highly suggest devil's pool Restaurant for an amazing dining experience!

When you get seated outdoors on the 4th of July on the edge table with Table Rock Lake on full…read moredisplay and 360 views of the entire vista without reservations - consider yourself lucky. Did I mention the menu is the same as the Osage restaurant which required reservations months ago. Oh BTW the golf course and the ancient church to your left comes out of a postcard- only you're in it. To say it looks pretty is like saying the Grand Canyon is large. Because it's the 4th of July, we also got an airshow, bagpipes, canons exploding, and the pièce de résistance - fireworks in your face(maybe 100 yards away) timed to patriotic music. Folks it doesn't get any better. The food is almost secondary. We had the signature fried chicken and lobster ravioli. My wife got the scallops - no complaints. The standout however was the complimentary bread, spread some of that black rock salt butter and you will experience the sublime. The crew was super chill with all the pressures of this holiday and Tyler our server was more than nice.

View is beautiful, but the rest begs to differ. Service is nonexistent, water is self serve in…read moreplastic cups. We went up early (5 pm) and it wasn't too busy. Ordered a few apps and drinks. Food wasn't very good but bar service was fast (again, no table service). We ordered the spinach dip, pork belly and salads. Dip wasn't hot and was bland, pork belly was greasy, salads massively overdressed. Overall, a very disappointing experience and we won't be back for anything but a cocktail out on the patio.
