The Creekside Grill is located in the Echo Bluff State Park Lodge. It was where we had every meal…read moreduring a long weekend at the lodge, and is basically the only restaurant around. We were so pleased with the wide variety of food and breadth of service times (breakfast through dinner). The prices were also reasonable given that we were a captive audience. All of their options are real, fresh food. You can certainly splurge and get fried food with fries. What impressed me, though, was the ability to eat healthy and balanced meals all weekend long in a lodge restaurant. For breakfast I would have oatmeal with eggs on the side. For lunch, I enjoyed the turkey BLT with a broccoli salad. For dinner, I enjoyed the salmon, which was skillfully cooked. The grill has seating similar to other in-hotel restaurants. There is a view of the bluff on two walls with large windows. Again, this eatery is the lifeline of staying at the lodge.

The Bourbon Bacon Pecan Salmon was pretty good. And the cocktail was tasty too. The desserts were…read moreto DIE for. The reason my star rating is so low is because the service was LOUSY. Our waitress had the enthusiasm of a rock, and had to be asked repeatedly for simple things like WATER and napkins. Then she messed up our checks. And didn't even thanks us for catching her errors (I assume she would've had to make up the difference?) Another thing is they've got seating out on the patio, but the sun would COOK you! They need to figure out how to use the space! The prices were reasonable. It was just reeeeally lacking in the service arena!

Review Rating: (1/5) Terrible Service & Dangerous Food…read moreHazard - Avoid! We had an absolutely awful experience at this restaurant. Our server, Heather, was extremely rude to just our table from the moment we sat down. The Service Failures Dirty Table: We had to ask Heather to wipe down our table right at the start. Wrong Orders: She brought the wrong soda. When we pointed it out, she claimed she "didn't have time to correct the hoses. "Refused Drinks: She flat-out refused to make a piña colada, stating she didn't have time for that either. The Safety Hazard The worst part of the night was finding a piece of curled metal inside the chicken quesadilla. When we showed Heather, her response was incredibly irresponsible: She just took the plate and tossed it in the tub. She never even looked at the piece of metal. She failed to notify management or the kitchen, doing absolutely nothing to ensure other customers weren't eating contaminated food. The Bill The only reason this isn't a zero-star review is that they didn't charge my friend for her wrong soda, the incorrectly described dish, or the dish containing the metal. However, a waived bill does not make up for hostile service and a severe health hazard. Management needs to address Heather's attitude and their kitchen safety protocols immediately. I'm mad art myself for not taking a picture of the metal but rest assured the other 4 people with me saw the metal too.

(I don't remember exactly what it said). Also, lights for outside seating. We thought we would take a chance and we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered the special seafood pasta with salad.

I would recommend stopping here and give it a try.
