Big Pines Lodge

Good food and great service, definitely worth a visit. Proper definition of food with a view. It got much busier later in the evening so keep that in mind. Lastly, I did think the food was on the smaller side, so you might want to request extra amounts if visiting while starving.

Very good food and service. Enjoyed pickles and hush puppies to start. Fried gator was delicious. Only shame is you can’t have your catfish fillets done three ways.

We had an AMAZING experience here on our weekend trip! Miss Elena was not only so kind but she was very quick and on top of everything! She made a very personal impression and we will always remember her❤️ The food was amazing! The gator, grilled shrimp and catfish was all cooked to perfection. We will be back for our next trip!

On the day we came to Big Pines it was just day 2 of new ownership. Aside from taking a bit for the waitress to come to our table when we first sat down, it was a great experience. The coleslaw was so good. I ate the whole bowl myself! Their hush puppies were unique! We both ordered the catfish fillets and it was delicious. Great country music playing and we got there at the perfect time- as the lobby was full of folks when we left. We really enjoyed our meal and the ambiance!

Fries were too soft, but the burgers were good and quite large. Unfortunately they don't ask how you want it cooked. One came out medium rare, the other well done. Sad little salad bar that they charge $9.99 for. Prices a little on the high side for the caliber of food and atmosphere but an enjoyable time was had here. Interesting hush puppies are complementary, a bit on the sweet side with an occasional fleck of jalapeno for an interesting flavor without being spicy. Pretty greasy as are the fries, probably due to frying at too low a temperature.
