Lake Hope Lodge

Stayed here this weekend to have a getaway weekend. Had Sunday Brunch and it was delicious.Very clean lodging very happy with everything.

We had an early supper at the lodge. The lodge is beautiful and the atmosphere is welcoming. I had the grilled vegetables platter and we shared a blackberry cobbler. The food was prepared well and was tasty. Our server was friendly and service was fast. We enjoyed our dinner and would definitely return.

I was a little worried when we went inside as there was only 3 parties eating .But my worries were unfounded our waitress was very nice and the food was very good and they sure give you enough of it ! I am kinda weird as I judge a restaurant by their sides and that being said the French fries here are amazing ! All in all the meal was great I can't remember what it was called but I had what was basically a sampler of bbq meat French fries and au gratin potatoes all of which was very tasty .Next time we are in town we will eat here again .And the view was very nice overlooking lake hope.

We were camping at nearby Lake Hope campground. Saw the wood fired pizza advertised at the Lodge restaurant. Had to go there for dinner. Sadly, they were not serving pizza that night. A few people we disappointed for sure. Grr. This began a string of inconsistencies: there is a WiFi login at the restaurant front desk, but WiFi is not available in the restaurant. They were out of their only red sangria. I saw incorrect hours posted (can't remember where - but it didn't' show for lunch - which is why we went for dinner). These are annoying, but no pizza? We are vegetarians, so were so happy to see the pizza because the rest of the menu was pork, brisket, turkey, beef. There is no veggie burger option. Which is such an easy thing. On a good note: the grilled veggie sandwich was really good. The nachos (had the pulled pork held off) were very good. Wonderful local chips. Fries were even quite tasty. Wine is very inexpensive and decent if you are a wine drinker. Suggest to just call head to make sure of hours and if you are craving their wood fired pizza! Nice dining room, table was sticky, staff very friendly and mostly efficient.

theres was not much too do here, me and my family just hungout. i had sprint at the time and the service was very spotty, i only got it at one of the shower houses and while walking along the roads. shower houses werent bad at all. stayed end of july in 2022!

Ohio State Park lodges are not known for the best food. Most taste like the food is straight out of the back of a GFS truck. The Lake Hope Dining Lodge is quite an exception to that. It specializes in smoked and BBQ meats. I had their Sunday brunch today. The BBQ was top notch featuring smoked brisket, smoked turkey and pulled pork. All the side dishes were prepared well and not from a box. The pizza was thin crust wood fired not commercially made. The dining room has a very nice atmosphere with a beautiful view and friendly staff.

The Turkey was perhaps the best I have ever had, seriously.(I don't usually care for turkey) The pulled pork was flavorful without any chunks of fat. The brisket was good, better then most. The sauted vegetables great!The smoked chicken wings were very good, and my friend said it the best he ever had.There is no reason to try to add fluff to this review.This place is fantastic, and very much worth going out of your way.There is also an awesome view off the balcony.Do not pass this place up...

We have been 2 or 3 times, and it's generally very quiet. But the brisket is some of the best we have had. We like our brisket moist with plenty of fat marbled throughout. And Lake Hope Loge delivers. This visit, I was by myself and the service was a little slow, but the food was still worth the trip. I completed the peninsula hike after lunch. Nice hike, lots of up and down as you follow the shoreline around the lake. This is a little out of the way of the Hocking Hills popular destinations but is by far the best place to eat around there!

I was sent to NATO in the Army - lived in Italy for 3 years - Pizzia here is the closest I came to the Pizzia's in Italy

We travelled from Columbus to here for the Mother's Day Brunch. The location is beautiful, we had a reservation and got seated as soon as we arrived, which was awesome. However, the food was just ok and that is largely because none of it was hot or even warm. The asparagus and the penne alfredo in particular, really needed to be hot or at least warm, but it wasn't. I know it's hard to prepare food for a buffet, but for the price, I expected better.
