The Lodge at Bass Lake

Nice little spot in Chardon that had been here for years. Ambiance was great. A nice fire going in the fireplace. Ample seating with space. Our server was great. Very attentive and friendly. Good was good. I ordered the fish and chips special for a Friday. It was good. I feel the fish needed a little more flavor. It would have been very good if it were beer battered. The fries were hot and crispy. Overall the meal and experience were good!

I stopped in again on my way through town and ordered the turkey, bacon, and avocado club. The menu says 'fresh' turkey. Well that leads you to believe that it is 'real' turkey. But sadly, it was a wet, turkey roll with gobs of fatty gel hanging off the sides of each piece. Maybe 'fresh' means the opposite of stale? Don't know. But the real kicker was the bacon. It was ice cold - two pieces frozen together. It appears they were cooked lightly several days ago, then held in the refrigerator. At sandwich prep time, they whipped out two old and chilled pieces and popped them on the sandwich. Everyone at the table was astounded! Was it bacon? Or some other beast? Was it decayed? One and a half thin slices of avocado and voila! $16.00 So sad that this place cannot even make a simple sandwich.

Had brunch on Sunday, November 12th. First time here. Love the decor and on ambience. Our waiter was very attentive and made some good recommendations. It's a nice step up from your typical breakfast nook. No pressure.If you are looking for a Bob Evans experience, you've gone to the wrong place. We throughly enjoyed our dining experience. My two negatives: 1. Provide us with flavored creamers and a small coffee/tea pot at the table. 2. Portions could be larger.

We were extremely pleased with the ambiance, wonderful food choices and the delightfully fast and thoughtful service at The Lodge at Bass Lake. As it was a fine summer evening, we opted to sit on the patio which is large and includes an outdoor bar. While my Favorite Companion opted for the short ribs, I took a ride on the wild side and ordered prime rib for the first time in many years. It was not a mistake.Both meals arrived promptly and were cooked exactly as ordered and delicious. Their chef obviously knows meat and loves to prepare it; I had to take half of my prime rib to-go. Thumbs up and five stars energetically given. This is a class place!

We went on a Monday for $10 Burger Night. The burgers were tasty and cooked well. The fries were very good. The fried pickles were great but needed a better dipping sauce than ranch. We've been there many times and always had great food and great service.

Tasty and quality food. Good variety.Monday's they have $10 burger specials. Great service, nice environment.

Our family decided to eat out for Thanksgiving and I saw online that The Lodge at Bass Lake offered a Thanksgiving dinner. All the food came out cold, except for the green beans. The turkey came out on the plate in perfect ovals. It was completely processed and for the price they were charging, unacceptable. The mashed potatoes had a strange, gummy consistency and the pumpkin pie was served with melted whipped cream, yet the pie wasn't warm. Very few of us in our party actually ate our meals. It was very disappointing and I don't think we will be back. Service was just ok.

Great outdoor patio matched by wonderful service and apps! A great environment with friendly people and staff!

I leave great reviews when earned. This is sad to say, but wow,this place has gone down the pooper. I have been going here for years and over the last three years it has progressively gotten worse. The quality of food is sub par at best. I completely understand having to raise prices, but the quality should be there and it's not. It was so cold in the restaurant,the hostess kept going out to smoke and consequently brought her cigarette smell in with her every time,not to mention the cold air. The waiter wash pushy and there were only three tables,not sure what the rush was. It makes me sad that it has gone so down hill.

Just ate at this place, very nice on the inside but the restaurant smelled like sewage. We ordered the calamari app that was so overcooked it was inedible. The waitress took it back. We tried the fish fry special one was all you can eat, when asked for more fish they bring you one piece at a time ! And was soaked in grease and tasted sour. This place has a lot of potential but the food was terrible. We also tried their mixed drinks that were also terrible. We will not be back.
