    Both the quality of the meal and the entire waitstaff were excellent. It's our go-to place for breakfast and lunch.

    Fantastic fixed price dinner. Great service. Only drawback is the limited days that it is open.

    It's definitely a drive from where we were staying, and we missed the turn in, but it was well…read moreworth it. This is a converted home and really cute, I imagine if it was cold out they'd have the centrally located fireplace going, as is the AC was a welcome treat. We ordered a Southwest style omelette with hash browns and another two orders with French Toast, one with bacon the other with smoked sausage. The omelette was great, maybe bigger than expected, but that's always better than the alternative. The French Toast was also great, perfectly toasted with a nice batter. About the only complaint I can say is the server was a little overwhelmed and my dad had to go get the syrup. I would definitely recommend going for breakfast if you're in the area. Also, we had hash browns that good without have to ask that they be extra crispy.

So, the ambiance was amazing, the it smelled, hence the 4-stars. The service was fine, not stellar. They were busy with a full dining room and folks waiting for to-go orders. A local waiting on her order, was kind enough to chat while I waited on the one stall bathroom. She was so enthusiastic about the cafe I had to ask if it was her's. Nope. She ate there so often they knew her name and order. Nice endorsement. Our food was fresh, tasty, and plentiful. I'd order my cheesesteak sandwich again. It was a perfect balance of ingredients. My son's veggie quesadilla was loaded with garden fresh veggies. A hearty meal. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and grits, but his experience was that it was a delicious shrimp and grits chowder, not the usual grits topped with sautéd shrimp and a light sauce. Next time, we'll go in the fall and enjoy our meal outside. This is a great local stop. Try it. You'll enjoy it.

The outside was packed so we went inside. The temperature was comparable to the outside since there are two doors constantly being open. We were greeted quickly and ordered drinks and got their loaded wedges. This place was busy from both vehicles and boat traffic. First observation was the carpeted floor and the chemical cleaner odor battling the smell of the bar. The occasional fly buzz was distracting as well, but couldn't be helped with the in and out traffic. The loaded wedges were delicious and the side Caesar salad was also very good. My Son ordered the French Dip (very salty) with onion rings as a side (over cooked). My Wife had a burger (bun was tuff). I had the double cheeseburger which was massive and tasty. I loved their twisted fries as well. Service was sufficient, yet very busy. This place would check all the boxes for a good time crowd fresh off the lake but if you're just rolling through, it's just meh. Check them out

Erin was our server both nights and she was so go that first night we requested her again Saturday night. Outstanding service both times. Friday night my beautiful wife got the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and delicious. I got the small cheese pizza (smoked chicken, mushrooms and onions) which was HUGE! Best pizza I have had in a LONG time. Saturday night, my beautiful wife got the fish and chips with a side of coleslaw. Delicious. I got the shredded beef tacos with a side of coleslaw, also very delicious. Great view of lake lure, not too loud and great atmosphere. Manager and waitress, top notch. Highly recommend.

The check-in is in the same building as Legends On The Lake. We decided to stay for dinner so it only took 15 minute wait to get a patio table overlooking Lake Lure. Ben had the Smash Burger with a salad & I had the Chilean Sea Bass. It was outstanding! Pan seared on the medium well side on a bed of pasta it was truly exceptional! Great service from Isiah & the lake views were spectacular!

    Went to this restaurant for the Brunch on Sunday. Wife and I arrived without reservations and we…read morewere told to wait a few minutes. The host came back and said there wouldn't be a problem as long as it was an inside table. When the waitress arrived with the water we asked her for two Bloody Marys and we went to serve ourselves from the buffet Food was delicious starting with the omelette station and the rest of the items including the prime rib. The drinks never arrived and the waitress never came back with water, she actually never came to our table, we had to ask for water to the busser same for the check. I am not sure what their system is but looks chaotic since you help yourself to the food it should be fairly easy to assign zones or tables to each server. We walked out to the veranda and came back in the building to seat in the lounge where a pianola was on auto play, really nice environment that takes you back a few decades. The Inn is called The 1927 Lake Lure Inn

    We came here for Sunday Brunch our reservation was for 12:00 PM, our party arrived on time and we…read morewere seated immediately. Margret was our server somehow I don't think this was by accident I had met her a few days earlier at the hotel bar - she has been here for years and years and some of our friends have been enjoying her amazing personality and high level service for a decade or more. Once seated she offered to put our drink orders in while we explored the feast laid out in the adjoining room, the drinks are made at the hotel bar but they have a table set up to allow you to customize your specialty drinks i.e. Bloody Mary's are amazing before any modifications. The food was simple but elegantly displayed, the quality of the product was exceptional and the preparation was very creative and professional. I started at the omelette station two burners and a limited selection of ingredients but all delicious and being I'm not a veggie guy the meats and cheese exceeded my expectations. The neighboring stations were both carving stations, beef and ham both cooked to the perfect temperature and very tender and flavorful - yes I made two trips. I tried a few of the other sides trying my best to stay away for the carbohydrates that most of the side dishes bring with them. Well as much will power and restraint that I have it all slowly eroded away each time I passed the dessert table. The chocolate fountain surround by sliced pineapple, strawberries and cubes of moist cake, lemon and chocolate pies, cheese cake, chocolate cake, cookies and omg peach cobbler - trust me you can gain a few pounds just by being close to this table. The service was spectacular and the total package price is ridiculously reasonable - I don't think you need to lower your expectations to throughly enjoy this brunch but you do need to keep things in perspective this is a small community and this nostalgic hotel / restaurant puts it all out there so enjoy...
