The Lodge Sports Grille

Showed up ready to grab some dinner and drinks on a Thursday night. We sat ourselves, then outside of getting some waters and a beer, we were totally ignored. About 20-25 minutes in, ended up going to the bar to pay for the beer and left. My husbands Bud Light tasted as though the beer lines hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. About halfway through the drink, we noticed there were pieces of food stuck to the inside of the glass. Seems like they need to figure things out with their tap system, dishwasher, and scheduling. There only appeared to be two people working in the dining area, and they couldn't keep up. We felt bad for them, but management needs to get it together.

Dropped in for lunch. The ambiance was pretty chill two servers and only w couple of guests. The server gave us time to figure out what to order, but after getting our order, that was the last time we saw her. I ordered the Lodge burger with fries. The food looked good, but... WARNING, I got food poisoning! The fries were great, but the burger texture felt like it may have been undercooked but hard to tell because it was dark in the restaurant.When it came time for the check, after waiting for 15 mins and watching several people come in and look around for the server, I went searching for the server. I finally found a guy that looked like the cook who was able to take care of our ticket, but why should I have to look for someone? So in summary, ambiance cool, food not so cool, service, terrible. Better off going down the block. Wish I didn't get sick, had originally heard good things about the Lodge.

My girlfriend and I stopped into The Lodge for lunch while playing in Kirkland.Happy Hour is offered Mon-Fri from 2:30pm-6pm then again from 9pm-close and on Sat-Sun from 9:30am-1pm then again from 9pm-close.The Lodge offers a nice selection of craft draft beer.I slurped on a Freemont Lush during our visit while my girlfriend slurped on a Black Butte.We shared a Beet & Goat Cheese Salad for $15 and a Lodge Burger for $18.50. The menu stated the beets were roasted; however, they were actually canned. Both meals were a bit pricey in my opinion.Service was friendly and efficient.

My wife and I were looking for a pub for a quick bite to eat and we had never been to this pub before.We ordered the Brussel sprouts. They were fantastic. Nicely crisped on the outside but still tender. For main course we had the Fish tacos and the Taquitos. Both entrees were flavorful. My only complaint here is neither dish has a side. A little on the pricey side in my opinion. A nice side of rice or beans as a filler would be nice. Our server was friendly. She checked on us twice immediately after we had initially received our drinks. However, we had a salad delivered to us with the main entrees with no salad dressing. We stopped another server to ask for ranch. That never arrived. By the time we did see our server again, our entrees were finished. A little disappointed in service. Timing and spacing of when to check on a table is key. In another lifetime ago, I worked as a server. I was told the menu was entirely new. Some work to improve the end to end experience would bump up my review to 4 or 5 stars. As is I would come back and I would like to try the happy hour items.

A great brunch/lunch spot in Kirkland. The food is great "semi elevated" bar food. It's always easy to get in, we have never had an issue. I'd recommend bottled or canned beer over their taps, because they seem to run warm. Service is notoriously slow but they are friendly. Great spot for sports watching - especially the early Sunday football games as they have many TVs and play them all! I usually get the wings, they are super saucy and delicious and perfectly spicy.

Got two hamburgers here and it was salty. The restaurant was busy and server was new and seem anxious because it was too busy.Food not great, pricing is just ok but for this quality you can get better, cleaner ambience elsewhere.

Wait times at other restaurants in downtown Kirkland was horrible so we went to The Lodge got self seating in a cozy environment. The service is quick, wide selection of alcohol and the food is tasty. Great for date nights or with friends, The Lodge is our go to restaurant when we are in Kirkland!

I stopped by to catch the 2nd half of a game in the evening, first time here and last time. The bartender acted like she was annoyed when I simply asked "what's on tap?" And told me to "read the menu." I stayed positive, maybe she had a rough day. I ordered the half size order of wings for $16, they brought it out on a plate as if I microwaved some nuggets and put them on a plate with sauce. The wings were okay, the sauce was runny and messy. It took forever to get the check with only about 5 customers there. Can't imagine sitting there in a packaged environment during the summer. Definitely won't be back at all considering how much potential this place has. Please replace this establishment with a place that actually cares about food and quality of service.

We were looking for pub food on a Wednesday night and headed into Lodge. We've been a few times and it's always a solid experience. The food has always been delicious, fresh, and filling. The service is always attentive and timely. We love the ambiance, it's a bar and grill overlooking a busy downtown area and it feels lively.We ordered a beer and cocktail. The beer was fresh and cocktail tasty. They use a spicy ginger beer for their mule and that is very appreciated. The boneless Buffalo wings we had for an appetizer were the star. I'd definitely order those again. Just the right amount of spicy and tangy, the breading was crisp but the chicken tender and the veggies served with it were crisp and fresh. For dinner we had a cubano, side salad and the grilled cheese and soup. All were great. We'll be back!

I struggled between 2 & 3 stars for this spot. And, it's obvious I went with the 2. I went here prior to a show at the Kirkland Performance Center, meeting a friend for drinks and dinner. Overall, I liked the atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly but felt inexperienced and unsure (which was fine). My meal consisted of a two sharable dishes, a salad and a drink. Let's start with the simple drink of cranberry juice, vodka and a splash of soda. Note: I'm a former bartender and really like and need balance to my drinks. I'm not a 21 year old scoring her first night out of drinking and wanting strong drinks to get the night started. My pallet is much more refined and I know how simple this drink is and this one sucked. Too strong with the vodka and not enough of the other flavors to balance the drink it was (MEH) to say the least.The first sharable dish was a pear and gorgonzola flatbread - it was tasty. The sharable shrimp dish with chili sauce was the star of the night for me. It was delicious. As for the goat cheese and beet salad - DON'T GET THIS. It was so disappointing - the beets and goat cheese were scant. The beets were also dry as if they've been sitting out all day and were absolutely tasteless.I'd suggest going to another spot for dinner and drinks. Maybe one of the other locations is a step up or two!!!
