The Lodge Sports Grille

My girlfriend and I met at The Lodge for our monthly meet.I'm not a fan of this chain; however, it wasn't my turn to pick our location.Free street parking can be found. At times it can be difficult finding a parking spot due to the volume of people in the center and at other establishments.We sat in the bar area which was on the dark side. Maybe it's my eyes, but I needed to use my phone flashlight to view the menu.The Lodge offers substantial draft choices so it shouldn't be hard for someone to find something they like. A full bar is available if beer isn't your thing. Large TVs are mounted in the bar.Happy Hour is offered Mon-Fri from 2:30pm-6:00pm & from 9pm-close. Happy Hour is offered on Saturday-Sunday from 9:30am-1:00pm & from 9pm-close. On Wednesday's, bottles of wine are half off. Brunch is offered Saturday-Sunday from 9:30am-1:00pm.During our visit, I slurped on a couple pints of Trickster IPA for $6.50 (hh). My girlfriend had Manny's for $6.00 (hh).I chose the BLTA for $16 as my meal: bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado and mayonnaise served on toasted sourdough bread. Fries as my side. I was satisfied with my meal choice.My girlfriend ordered the Beet & Goat Cheese Salad for $16.50: oven roasted beets, arugula, goat cheese and candied pecans with jalapeno cilantro dressing. She was pleased with her meal.Service was leisurely but friendly.Overall, The Lodge will never be my first choice, but I wouldn't say no to trying out their Brunch options.

Bad. I actually wondered if I'd be ill later...Nothing really sounded appetizing, so I ordered the simplest item on the menu. Meanwhile, the music was too loud. The interior was chilly. We felt inclined to keep our coats on. "Just eat pay and leave...please." (I added the "please" because it's the polite thing to say, and I had no proof they were rude).So, back to the simplest item on the menu, which was a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, which turned out to be simple but also very mediocre. The taste of the sandwich itself was a little off. Was it the "sourdough" bread, or was it the cheese that was sour? This is where I wondered if I'd be ill later.The soup was served like a dip. A tiny cup of it was one thing, and probably a good thing because there was less of i to maje me ill. It wasn't good either. I used it to flavor or perhaps mask the flavor of the sandwich. Then the bill comes. It was as expected, but realizing I had to pay for this meal was just bad.

Service-0Food- only the fired pickles are good sooooo, 1?Ambiance-it's named the "lodge" you can figure it out from there.

This is the second time I've been to the Lodge in Mill Creek Town Center. The vibe once again was "Mountain men meet in Montana to be distracted by the many dangling Costco big screens dreaming of being in a Vegas sports booking casino. The place is lively and active. Mostly adults with a few families. Seat yourself entry finds you in locating the bar to the right or high wooden chairs and tables for four or dining room seating on the restaurant right side. The wait staff has energy and ours did her dentist and toothpaste brand proud. The food was fine. It was a just draw really. You could fold or hit. It wasn't memorable on either extremes of jackpot and bankrupt. I played the odds and rolled the dice and came out a winner of small victories. I had the Cuban. The food. The Cuban. It was light and rather smooth and the freshly warm bun was the best part. I replaced the fries with a salad and am still wondering how anyone could mess up a basic salad with dressing on the side. The salad was lettuce, as expected. My buddy gave me the bacon on the side. That was desert dry, forest fire burnt, and stiff as cardboard. Bummer. Bacon is us usually meat candy. With Azul's across the street and the Thai restaurants footprints away, I am not sure Id come back here right away. But, there was nothing wrong with the experience. You can belly up to the bar a bet safely you won't lose here.

The food was really good. The service is great and as always restaurant was clean. They had a hockey game on the TV and there was no waiting for seats.

Lodge Mill Creek is one of our favorite local places to hang out. Mark & Liam behind the bar will always take really good care of you. If you plan ahead for a Tuesday you can even have fun with Ellen for Trivia Night! Good times for sure!!!

From my previous experience, this was much better than before. The waitstaff was significantly more attentive, and the drinks were well made and tasty. It was not as slow as it was on the previous visit. So definitely an upgrade to the previous review...Felt like the drinks were a touch on the spendy side, not terribly ridiculous though. Two decent Manhattans with mid-shelf bourbon for $35 after tip is pretty good.

Service was on the slower side, fries came w such a small portion, drink was disappointing, pizza needed so much salt. Go across the street to azul or china city

I should have checked Yelp before going to The Lodge - - if I had, I would have saved $90 ! I've only lived in Mill Creek for a couple years now and had been to The Lodge once before (about 4 months ago.) During that first visit, I had ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, which was 99% bread and 1% cheese....not a good ratio of the two. But I wrote it off by just saying grilled cheese sandwiches are best made at home. Yesterday, I went with my wife and daughter. I didn't think I could strike out again - Blasted Cauliflower: I may have misinterpreted the words "quick-charred" off their menu. There was zero char, and it ended up being like eating raw cauliflower with spicy sauce drizzled on top. On a good note, the menu price provided a nice profit margin for the restaurant...Cuban Sandwich: I was expecting more "guts" in the sandwich. A couple thin slices of meat and cheese do not make for a good Cuban sandwich. If I wanted to taste nothing but bread, I would have ordered the grilled cheese...Boneless chicken: admittedly, the dry rub was tasty. But it didn't make up for the tough, overcooked chicken nuggs...I couldn't cut them in half with a fork. Most disappointing was the lack of help. God bless our server (who unfortunately was also the acting bartender and busboy.) She was the only person in the front of the house at NOONTIME! In fact, she was forced to greet every group walking through the door with "I'm sorry, but I'm the only one here today so it may be awhile." I give her 1000% for her honesty and effort, as she was working very hard (and with a smile on her face!) The three tables that walked out without ordering didn't have smiles on their faces though...This place has so much potential, but it's two strikes and out for me.

The crew here is awesome! Unfortunately Mark is colorblind, so he didn't realize I was black. However, he treated me with the utmost respect, and dignity. The drinks were amazing, and I will always be a loyal guest here! 10/10 Highly recommend!
