Stopped by for a drink in the afternoon at 2pm on Saturday the 11th. Seemed to only have one person running the whole place and we felt bad for him as he was doing a lot. Took long to get service for two drinks and to cash out but again, wasn't on our server, as he was the only one working besides the kitchen. Definitely needed more staff on a busy Saturday afternoon. But he did his best and was friendly the whole time. Wish I got his name to give him a shout out.
Jul 12, 2026 · Google ReviewWe stopped here for lunch yesterday, a chilly Friday afternoon in June. Sat inside by the window to have the view. They had the World Cup on. the gentleman who served us was SO NICE. My friend asked how spicy the chili was - he came back with a tasting cup so she could try before committing. It’s a lovely atmosphere with a much bigger menu than expected. And the chili was very good!

Jun 14, 2026 · Google ReviewWe ate at the lodge of lean-to while in a motorcycle trip for a schedule lunch stop. Wow the food was amazing - the salmon was so good as well as the salad and veggies. I never would have imagined such an amazing meal and this small resort

Dec 21, 2025 · Google ReviewBest restaurant in old forge. Great service Louis is a great waiter he brought a drink out balancing it on his head and brought us some home made mulled wine, he really made us feel welcome and wouldn't be out of place in a Michelin restaurant. The food is a 4.9, being a wing snob from upstate the wings were pretty damn good with real blue cheese. We ordered hot and its actually authentic hot buffalo with the perfect crisp. We both got the bacon blu burger they were perfectly cooked( unfortunately they are frozen Patty's high quality frozen Patty's but still frozen all the same. This is why i say 4.9 for food but its still the best burger ive had in old forge.) Great atmosphere right on the water with firepits and Adirondack chairs my new favorite place thanks great pines.
