Spillway Lodge

First - let's get the couple of negatives out of the way...... 1. Smaller place, so wait times can be long. 2. Parking lot is small, so kinda have to make your own spot when busy. Plowed snow doesn't help. And that's it for the neagtives.A nice country ride to get there. Rustic farm type setting. Throw back restaurant with a small bar. Known for their steaks, neither the wife or I tried them. Instead, my wife had the Salmon and I had the Ribs and Shrimp combo. All meals include the salad bar! Not many places have a salad bar anymore so this was great! Well stocked and fresh. There was one review raving about the butter on the bar for the bread. I'm still trying to figure that out as it was just soft butter. Salad bar could be visited as many times as you want. The red beets were delicious! Our entrees were cooked well and tasted great. They say they make there own BBQ sauce, nothing exceptional to talk about the BBQ sauce, but good. We were too full for desserts. Service is very good. Place is clean. DId not venture to the restrooms as heard they are very small as you might expect with an older building. Prices for the meals were VERY reasonable!This is definitley a different restaurant to try when you tire of the chains and same old, same old. My wife and I, hopefully with friends and family next time, certainly will return again.

The steaks are the best around! The chef/owner knows how to cook these to your exact taste. Now that we live in Wilmington, we celebrate all our special occasions at the Spillway Lodge Great staff! Peaceful among a a rual setting.

Despite being off the beaten track, this place has great seafood and steaks and a nice salad bar, with AMAZING butter!! Trust me. Get the butter Portions are big, prices are small. They don't take reservations so don't try. Either show up at 5 or expect to wait. The service is very good/great. But they're not a corporate trained perfect force. They're humans working their tail off in a busy restaurant. Highly recommend!

Run here! I loved every dang thing about this place and am already counting the days until we get back. It takes awhile to get here off of I-71 so plan accordingly. There is a good amount of parking. It had recently snowed a good amount and the long driveway was not plowed. I was thankful for the 4-wheel drive snow mode on my SUV.Walking in was nostalgic. The place has a great vibe. We sat by a window and could see the water and the bridge. The salad bar was awesome with lots of options. Dressings were good. Bread was boring but oh well. Had an old fashioned and it was a little sweet but a nice pour. Prime rib was so good. Cooked perfectly. Great flavor and so tender. The horseradish cream sauce was bomb and also spicy. Baked potato was nice and salty. Shrimp was also good. Our server did a great job and was attentive. Prices were so reasonable. Loved it.

Looking forward to enjoying my mother's birthday celebration here with a party of 9 only to discover they are not ADA compliant, which made it impossible for us to try. It's 2024. Do better.

Great service and the place was packed. The food came out quickly and the food was perfect. I will be back again to this amazing hidden gem. Great job

Everything. Awesome old school steakhouse with a salad bar. Food was excellent and pretty quick.

We ate at Spillway Lodge tonight. Our party of six was served promptly as usual. My husband got two huge pork chops and I got the shrimp trio. Salad bar is very good and fresh. Excellent!We will be back again.

Always great food with a fresh salad bar, love the ambiance as well! I stop by every time I'm at the WEC!

Very good service, with amazing food! Got seated right away, with no wait. Ambiance was great.
