The Lodge

This place is fantastic. Bar help is first class. Only complaint would be the music. They used to play classic rock and now? Not sure what this is? Can we go back to Rock? At least on Monday nights? The State Farm crew would appreciate it.

Came here twice with work, both times tried the Sasquatch. Fantastic burger although it is a lot of food so beware. How to best handle the beast, I take the grilled cheese buns and tackle them separately and open each up and cut the burger in two and place inside. Thank you MvF for the strategies. I think they should make a girlled cheese with a burger inside as I could tackle that as a normal lunch. The sasquatch is fun and each time I’ve gone the staff is very friendly and attentive.

Stumbled upon this place, was heading across the street but there was no parking. Very happy with the surprise find. Food was outstanding, service was exceptional, yes a bit pricey for being a college bar but I their specials were good. Overall very pleased with the experience, will be back for sure.

Few friends convinced me to meet up with them to grab drinks a few weeks ago, now we go every week. Food and service are good. Great prices for drinks. Definitely the spot for happy hour. Try «the Lodge» beer.

Most expensive tap beer I have ever bought in Arizona. I have lived here 16 yrs and have never paid $ 6 for a draft beer. Beer is cheaper in Arcadia, Biltmore and Old Town. I thought the bar was nice but not sure how you can charge that in a college town.

This place is pathetic. It could be cool though — they have the décor down, but the staff doesn’t know how to create a positive experience. I live down the street, so I went there on a Friday night with my roommate. I order an Old Fashioned, and this «ASU calendar model as a bartender» looks at me like I have two heads. I’m sorry lady, I don’t give a shit about your breasts, I just expect you to know how to make the most basic whiskey cocktail if you’re standing behind a bar.

I loved this bar when it was in Scottsdale and now that it moved to Tempe, I’m even more stoked! I’m a skier and I love the vibe of this bar, it feels like you just stopped in for a cold beer and hearty sandwich after hours of hitting the slopes.
Kudos to bartender Justin, he was attentive, funny, but had a very chill personality. He was doing his thing working behind the bar, but would check on us and chime in on a play in the football game to make us feel acknowledged. The food is amazing and the patio is huge with lots of space to play fun, outdoor drinking games. Order the fried pickles or pretzel with beer cheese and wash it down with a $ 3 Lodge Lager — Mmmmm!
I wish this place was here years ago when I lived in the neighborhood, because I felt the previous bar that was in this spot was not very welcoming. The Lodge is way more my style!

Service is a bit slow but the food is great and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. It’s a great place to go after work but get there early or there is no where to park.

Fun place to watch football and drink beer — lots of great spaces to watch TV or play games too. The service was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the drinks were reasonably priced. The food actually looked surprisingly good too!

Great place for Sunday Football and Brunch! Everything’s new and clean, patio is open, and décor is super fun — wood, cabin feel. Food is yummy!

This restaurant really looks like a lodge on the inside. There is plenty of seating plus a full bar both inside and out along with a few games, pool table.
Food is great! Be sure to get the sweet potato fries with campfire sauce
Service was okay, we weren’t even sitting at the bar and the bar tender was a lot more attentive then the waitress.

The food was amazing and the décor matches the food perfectly! But the server we got was way to busy and was not helping us out so we kept having to ask the nice manager or girl who sat us @ first she had a smile on the hole time. I spent a lot of money for poor service but I’ll go back one more time.
Foods really good!
Clean!
Love all the TVS for football!

This was my favorite place as I am a resident next door, I went to get food about 20 minutes ago 930 and was denied service. The bouncer a large African American called me a spick and told me to leave. He wouldn’t let me out the back so I ran and he pushed a female we were with just to prevent me from doing so. I went from wanting to work here to wanting to come a formal complaint. I have video of this and will be uploading to you tube. I used to love the lodge at Scottsdale this is so shameful. I went from wanting to do part time here to telling all Hispanics to stay away. Man in black Polo in the video was respectful and was understanding. No reason to deny service for food smh.

Good food and good atmosphere. Nothing spectacular, but a good place to watch the game or meet friends.

I love the layout of the new location, however, the food was disappointing. I ordered the LSK burger with a side of macaroni and cheese. My friend ordered some chicken and waffles sandwich. My burger was okay. Nothing I come back for. The macaroni tasted like tuna helper. The chicken sandwich was clearly made with an eggo waffle. I feel like the food in Scottsdale was way better than it is now. I don’t know what changed. The location is kind of hidden so if you want people to come back you gotta be as good as all of the other options in the area. I would come back for the atmosphere and drinks but The Lodge will not be a top choice in the future.

Upon entering, we were caught up with the aroma of the wood and seeing eerie animals on the walls. Excited to try out a new restaurant with friends.
They do have a decent size menu with a variety of food choices.
I really wanted a Bison burger and it wasn’t available. For being a lodge, I assumed they would have game meat​.no. So I chose the Bison Meatloaf. and even then it wasn’t 100% Bison. It was part Bison and part beef. Really? The meatloaf was soft and mushy and tasteless. I couldn’t finish it. Disappointing for $ 16.
The vegetables on my plate were dull and lacking color. Nothing Gordon Ramsay would serve. The gravy was a dull brown and tasteless. None of the flavors, within this dish, popped. Clearly this is bar food and caters to the les discerning college crowd.

We went on Monday night for take out and a drink at the bar while we waited. Excellent customer service, friendly hostess, great ambience. Let down was the food. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles that had a fancier name. It looks like Eggos waffles with a regular fried frozen chicken patty. Please change the food. I’ll be back.

Different setup now, but the menu did not undergo many changes. The inside bar in my opinion is too small, but the outside bar is a beast. They might need to find a new sasquatch carver though — five from the same person seems too much? They could be a bit more meaner looking. We still have the cornhole and a new game with balls also is outside along with some video games inside. Just feel like that front bar area will pack up fast, but maybe when it cools down the problem will be solved.
Oh yeah, I had the chicken club and it was excellent and filling. The sweet potato fries came with a nice marshmallow dipping sauce and the house beer was only 3 bucks on the day I went (a Sunday). Now that college is in session, this will become just another college bar. I did see some old guys lurking around, but not sure they or me would survive this place during peak times. Of course will be back though at some point, but Tempe and Scottsdale are different animals.

I have been in 4 times in the past 10 days. Twice for dinner, once for lunch and once for a large group event. Every time the staff at the Lodge nail it! The wings and Cobb salad are my favorites. Also have an awesome selection of appetizers including delicious pretzels. You also have to try and leave room for dessert. I have sat at the bar and at tables and the food comes out fast and hot every time.

First time here and checking it out for lunch. I want it to be good!
If I was a business owner, I would welcome honest feedback from my guests.
Here with a party of 6. Ordered food water and a few beers.
Water appeared within the blink of an eye from an astute gentleman. Keeper!
The space is wide open and just as «log cabin» as the Old Town Scottsdale’s recently departed predecessor and big and smells of freshly cut lumber…
Yeah, that’s right, friends; breathe it in. Breathe… it… in.
Our bartender was attentive and laid back. He took our order for our drinks again, 30 minutes after our order and delivered the goods immediately. He’s a keeper.
Just got the lemons at 11:41 that we requested with our water.
A friend of mine had the salmon and it was «exquisite»; That’s for you, Sydney. ;]
The fish really was cooked perfectly and the sauce and crisp vegetable pairing was very enjoyable.
Come here if you want good food.
I love to see new businesses thrive which is why I offer my honest feedback!
