Diner Reviews
  • "Own a vacation home in Galena territory . I have brought my family to brunch here many times, however new management has taken over. The resturant was relatively empty when my family of 10 arrived. We had a reservation and were told due to the size of my party we had to be split in 2 groups because they could not seat such a large party! Also the food setup made it difficult to get to all the food. Omlet station poorly placed. Waitress was very nice and food was good, expensive. I should have fussed about seating arrangement. Will try other options in area in the future."

  • "My wife & I dined here on our anniversary because it was convenient especially after our hot air balloon ride was cancelled. The restaurant is great for anyone staying at Eagle Ridge & seems to be a convenient dining option for golfers or any other outdoor activities available at the resort. The service was very good & the food was good but not exceptional."

  • "Our table was ready and we were seated immediately. Our server arrived quickly and described our dining options--menu, breakfast buffet, or Sunday brunch. We chose the brunch for ~$25 per person. The price of the brunch includes everything but the tax. Sunday brunch diners are offered mimosas and/or champagne in addition to juices, coffee, etc. Breakfast items included a made-to-order egg station (omelets available), assorted fruits, as well as hot and cold entrees. Hot lunch items included three entrees and two sides. There was also a carving station (three meats), a variety of salads, cheeses, and desserts. When the restaurant got busy it did take a little longer for our server to remove our plates and refill beverages."

  • "This was our first time at the Woodlands of Eagle Ridge and we were very satisfied. Service was very good as was the food. On the Saturday evening, they had an all-you-can-eat prime rib bar with salad, loaded baked potatoes and other root vegetables that looked like we'd have to get rolled out on a wheelbarrow if we opted in to this choice (in other words it would be a great choice for hungry men). But we went with a lighter meal of a small fillet and sauteed bass. Cocktails to start (martinis) were mixed well with top shelf choices and the Holy Sisters dessert (you'll have to go there to figure this one out) was over the top excellent - think deep fried Sinnibon :) Add this to good dining choices in the Galena territory."

  • "After a sub par dinner the previous night in downtown galena we decided to give Woodlands at Eagle Ridge a try. They have really scenic tables of the frozen lake behind the lodge. The wine list and menu are really something you can't find outside of Chicago, its obvious this place caters to more Chicago clientele. Food and service were excellent and they even took our picture out front by the fireplace. Highly recommend stopping by this restaurant."

  • "There was one exception to the food. A filet was ordered medium rare and it was well done. The kitchec took too long to correct as the rest of the group of 8 had finished eating by the time the properly prepared steak was served. m"

  • "Buffet delicious, however pricey for those who do not go back for seconds. Potatos should be served beside meat, then accoutrements."

  • "From the moment we were seated, there was an unusual smell at our table. Not sure if it was a moldy/musty smell, or what it was. We mentioned it to our waitress and she had no response. It ruined our dinner, though. The smell was not pleasant at all!"

  • "I took my husband to Woodlands for his 50th birthday. First, our server (Chris) was great...and she had two large tables of 8-10 people to accommodate...plus 4-5 other tables. The food was fantastic...I had the petite filet and my husband had the veal pot roast. The meat was so tender...it nearly melted in our mouths! We requested berries & whipped cream for dessert...absolutely incredible...biggest & most delicious raspberries ever, with flavorful, light whipped cream."

  • "My first time using Open Table for a reservation. I thought I was making reservations for Easter Brunch at the Eagle Ridge Restaurant. My family was seated and we all started to enjoy our morning...when I realized the restaurant wasn't very full.I asked a worker why...the Easter Brunch was in the ballroom. Unfortunately we didn't have a reservation for that special brunch. Disappointed for our family but the service and staff helped us make up for that. Very apologetic and gave us great service! Our server Kaierry was amazing! So sweet! Eagle Ridge should be so happy to have such a great server! Our family's disappointment was turned around and we enjoyed our beautiful morning with the friendly people at this great resort."

  • "The resort is lovely. The servers are very pleasant and efficient. The restaurant has a beautiful view with a lovely fireplace. Very romantic. But the food is very pedestrian and it comes to the table lukewarm at best. We had the breakfast buffet and even though the food was sitting in warming trays it was cold to lukewarm. We also had snacks in the bar. Again, severs very nice, but the food was greasy and cold."

  • "I'd like to see them do brunch buffet (including sparkling and still wines). The breakfast buffet was nice but had nothing exceptional (although the omlette guy's skill and speed was quite amazing). The bacon was not terrific: How about thick-sliced bacon and or maple-flavored bacon? The pastries were also somewhat lack-luster; they need at least to be warm. How about a waffle station?"

  • "We stayed at Eagle Ridge and ate at the Woodlands once or twice. The food was always very good. In particular, the brunch that they put on was top notch. Huge variety of food, and plenty of it. Beef, seafood, crepes, omelets - the whole 9 yards. It was all very good. They were VERY busy. The restaurant seemed rather full, and the wait staff seemed stretched pretty thin, even though not every table was occupied. For the day/time/and party size we had (Sunday, 10:30, 5 people) reservations seemed to be a must. However, smaller groups of 2 or 3 seemed to not have a problem. If you are staying at Eagle Ridge or anywhere in the area, and are looking for a good Sunday Brunch - this is the place."
