Got food poisoning here from the evening buffet. Lets hope it improves now under new management. Such a shame as the location is the best!!

If you are looking for good ol' southern comfort food with impeccable service, then this is the place for you. The view is phenomenal and the service was excellent... oh and on top of that the food tasted great too!

This is very convenient to eat while staying in the Peaks of Otter Lodge. Food is very good and you get a good amount. We ate supper and breakfast here and they were both very good. We have had meals here on several different times and all were good.

We stayed at the Lodge so decided to have breakfast there each morning. My son LOVES food and he said the biscuits were the best he has ever had! Also the pancakes were excellent, crispy edges and not mushy in the middle! And top on my mom & my list is coffee and theirs was some of the best! Our... More

The Peaks lodge and restaurant are so special for so many reasons! The food and service are always good. The views of the lake and the Peaks of Otter are amazing and worth the trip.

I love this place, the views are amazing, but the food was just average...nothing special. With the location i feel they could really make this a great restaurant if only they would serve better food. Maybe a call to the "restaurant impossible" people is in order...

The location is beautiful with a great view of the lake. The food was so so and the service very slow even though there were few dinners. I was disappointed because I had made such a big deal about showing this place to my significant other. When we went to pay for our food the cashier charged my credit card... More

Granted, we stopped in this restaurant late for lunch, about 3 in the afternoon, but had gone out of our way to eat here. We were seated immediately, our order taken promptly, then everything turned bad. The food, when it finally came, was average (I'm being kind) and the order was wrong. I could have complained but enough time had... More
