The Creekside Lodge

Good restaurant for the area.  Didn't get to enjoy the view as we were at an interior table, but it was a grey March day so not much to enjoy anyway.  Standard American menu items, I had blackened tilapia, with spaghetti soup (I'd never heard of it before, and apparently neither had my server, as he thought it was going to be a side dish of spaghetti with the dinner.  I guess he wasn't well prepared tonight, as he didn't know the tilapia was posted as the special either.)  The soup was quite good, as was the tilapia, fresh, well flavored.  No problems with the service otherwise, no delays as mentioned in other reviews.  The owner was walking the floor, chatting with guests, a lot of out of towners due to the state swimming championships we were there for.  He reminded us to ask for our hotel discounts when we got our bills.  Very pleasant, nice place to go.  A little expensive ($41 w/tip for 2 of us, no alcohol).

"Were passing through the area on an all day trip and decided to try this out for lunch since we didn't want fast food. Had excellent service, a chicken potpie and either soup or salad for $7.99. Lunch special...perfect for us!"

Atmosphere is great. On this lovely day, that porch is an awesome place to eat with kids, who can hit the creek banks and look for frogs while we relax. Pasta was good, husband's steak caesar salad was good, and our friends split a philly cheese steak on flatbread and declared it good enough that they had to order a second one to split. Service was just fine and prices are reasonable - definitely worth repeat visits.
