The atmosphere is good, but it was pretty busy and it was loud. They didn't have enough servers to accommodate how busy it was, with several large dining parties. Our first round of drinks and bread service was timely. Long wait between that and our appetizer. I had to go to the bar for a second drink because our server was busy with a large table. Then a long wait for the entrees. We were there for 1 hour 45 minutes before our entrees arrived. It was clear the food had sat on plates under a warmer for a bit. Food was good but not great. We had a better experience and meal the last time we visited. I'm sure we will eat there again, but I'm in no rush to go back.

Service was amazing, food was amazing, and cocktails were amazing! My wife ordered the Wedge Salad but opted not to add a protein to it because they do not have a designated grill for GF. She did not want to take a chance with cross-contamination. I opted for the Half Wedge Salad and Lodge Burger with Fries. We were very satisfied with our choices. Since they do not offer GF dessert choices, we opted not to partake. Hannah, our server did a great job of taking care of us.

While they did have a nice special/Tuesday deal going which was a Tuesday twofer situation, I did not think the quality was what I expected based off menu pricing. Blackberry mule I had tasted like just a mule with blackberry garnish Charcuterie board is $23 and i could make a better one at home. Cubed yellow cheddar, cubed maybe Monterey Jack maybe, I think capicolan and salami, I don’t know no one told us what was on it, with some crackers and other various accoutrements. If you want a better board go to MoMo I will say the pork belly app was DELISH Crab dip app also tasty Bread service, focaccia was good though we did have a mix up on special wording. I would advise to make it clear on the 2fer Tuesday special that it’s bread service + 1 selection instead of phrasing it as bread service + choice of 2 I got sirloin with onions and mushrooms with sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus. Cooked decently, not even throughout but overall ok, but the entree as a whole lacked seasoning. The groups overall impression was that it was ok but not for the price point

We celebrated a birthday at The Lodge Restaurant at Wilderness Ridge. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the golf course view. Although our table was just above the pool area, we were not bothered by the noise and had fun watching the activity. Our waitress was very helpful and any questions we had about the menu or drinks were quickly answered. Our food was fabulous and priced as expected for an upscale restaurant. If you are looking for a relaxing evening, scenic and peaceful views, and excellent food, this is the restaurant.

It has been a while since we have dined at Wilderness Ridge. Had family in from out of town. Looked forward to a nice dining experience. Food was pretty good. Staff was not very knowledgeable or helpful. It felt like we were in their way as they were setting up for the next day. Disappointed with our visit. Will not be going back anytime soon.

We will definitely eat at Wilderness Ridge again! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was comfortable and upscale and we could hear each other talk because it was not too loud at all!

It had been quite a few years since my last visit to Wilderness Ridge, and my past dining experiences there were less than impressive. However, I was pleasantly surprised this time—the food was fantastic! I ordered the pesto and pork soup along with the kale salad topped with salmon, and both were absolutely delicious. My husband had a steak with a baked potato, and he said it was one of the best steaks he’s ever had. Wilderness Ridge might just become our new go-to restaurant in Lincoln!
