    The Lodge is our local bar and grill in Colony Place. The atmosphere is classic sports bar with an area inside for live music on select nights. The bar can feel cramped because it’s always packed and the bartenders are cool and make stiff drinks. Golden Tee is in the entry way if you need to do some gaming. The food and service are fine. On most visits you’ll end up with multiple runners and servers taking orders, bringing food and closing out a tab. It’s controlled chaos but it works. We’ve tried most of the menu. The burgers and sandwiches are our favorite things to order. The wing options are plenty and come in various amounts. A sneaky good app are the shrimp baskets with cocktail sauce. It’s on our regular rotation. They do offer nightly specials. Meatloaf Monday is our favorite and if they have a Fried Bologna sandwich grab it. Parking isn’t bad in Colony but it can be hard to find a spot near The Lodge due to other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. If it’s packed park down by Walgreens. It’s only a quick walk away. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly atmosphere to watch a game. Food is good enough and staff is super friendly. There’s plenty of outside seating if the inside is packed. Expect a wait on weekends at peak times. It’s our best local spot for a beer and burger. Enjoy.

    I was charged twice for my one bill, and it happened on a Saturday. I called on Thursday to report the issue and the man that answered the phone told me that they had several people with the same complaint and that his Manager Eric would call me the next day. Never got a call and called back on the following Monday. Eric answered and addressed me as "Dude" at least 10x until I asked him to stop. He said my issue was a bank issue, and I replied that would be very unlikely. He insisted it was a bank issue and continued to argue with me and I hung up one him. Had to call my bank and dispute the charge. I hardly ever write these, but I feel this well deserved. Won't be back.

    I went last night and I was the only African American female at the bar. The two bartenders and waitress walked right passed me and didn't acknowledge me. I understand they were trying to correct a table bill, but they could have stopped and let me know that they will be right with me. I sat and waited still no assistance. I left and before I got to my vehicle it was some white people that sat at the bar and got serviced real quick. My money is just as good as everyone else . i

    Food is good, beer is overpriced, and service is hit-or-miss (leaning towards miss in general). It essentially seems that there is plenty of regular customers and business is good, so the emphasis on service is low. I go less often now which is too bad for me. 4/27/2022; raised a star because my last visit was better than the previous.

    It was super loud with the combination of kitchen noise, really loud music and packed crowd, they didn't want to sit us outside for whatever reason, so because of that I would not have enjoyed my experience if it wasn't for good company and really good food. The server kept trying to upsell things and just treated me as if I wanted to purchase a $38 bottle of wine, kept tells me it's half off and I could get 2 glasses out of it. Basically telling one person to buy 2 glasses of wine. A petite person who had to drive home and doesn't drink a lot. Super annoyed and surprised. My friend said that the last time they were there. He did the same thing to them, just acted as he he knew what they were ordering and clarifying to make sure that's what they want. Doesn't listen and doesn't ask questions regarding what we actually want or need when we first ordered. Never brought out waters for us 4. I got one late. It was a bit disgusting 5o drink out of a plastic cup without a straw, not knowing where that cup has been sitting. Or where they touched it. His mask was only on his mouth the second half of the night. So, definitely only going back during non busy hours and asking for outside seating. I specifically asked for s cheep wine and he showed me the expensive cups and tried his best to sell me a bottle. Not sure what's going on and if the server needs more training or is just not a decent person but is just there focused on his tips.

    Went here back in November. We loved this place! Food was great! Buffalo Chicken sandwich was YUM!! Outside seating was awesome to watch football games. Only down side was having to ask for ranch 3 times and finally having to go to the bar to get it myself. Wait times for food was a bit longer than we cared for but Definitely going back!!

    This was my first time ordering from the lodge. My wife olcalled in some wings and a grilled cheese. I let the hostess know I had a to go order and patiently waited. I see some orders brought out and set on the counter. Kept waiting...another gentlemen who arrived after me picked up his order so after waiting for 31 mins I asked the young lady If I could pay for my order. She said "Oh it's right here." The very same order that was brought out 30 mins prior. I understand mistakes happen and both of the young ladies really need training on how to manage orders. The real bummer happened when I made it home. The wings were large and impressive, however both orders were very VERY undercooked. Wings this large definitely need more time in the fryer. 2 stars for service 0 stars for the food preparation.

    This place is nice, but very short staffed. We entered but no one bothered to greet. My wife was not sure if we should eat here. Beer selection is very good. But food is typical fast food with choice of a sandwich, wrap or a salad. Our fries were cold, the chicken in the sandwich was cold too. Price is not bad in the current situation.

    This is a really great locals spot that has been around for several years near my parents’ place. We always come here, staff are great. Menu is pretty extensive - pub food, solid quality and reasonable prices. Food and refills come out quickly. Bar becomes busy on weekends and sometimes there is live music. Burgers/ sandwiches are great as are the wings and ribs on the rib special night especially.

  • 2/5 Sydney R. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was extremely bland across the board and inedible. Service could have been better. We were seated but sat waiting for 5 minutes before our server came over. He took our order and dropped off our food but then we never seen him again. He never stopped by to check on us but was standing around taking shots with coworkers and patrons. I will never come back.

  • 2/5 Matthew W. 6 months ago on Google
    We did not have a good experience the last few times we visited. The service is not very good. We never got a single refill or the two extra dressings we ordered even asking two different servers for help when ours wasn't to be seen, and yet we were charged for them. I ordered a burger medium and it came out over well done and basically burnt. My daughter's club sandwich bread was also burned.. My wife ordered the homemade chips and they came out mostly broken pieces and almost too hard to eat. It just wasn't a pleasant experience. It's frustrating to go out and not get good service or good food and still have to pay upwards of $50 for a less than mediocre meal.

    Mad good food and great guest service- instead of treating us like guests we were spoken to like normal humans. Can’t wait to come back when less crowded! I’d ask Keith Lee to eat here- my eyes, 9.2/10

  • 5/5 Wayne B. 4 months ago on Google
    After a slow start on getting a seat with no one ahead of us things git better. The hostess was working to go orders and not seating patrons waiting to sit. The food and drink specials were very good and the wait staff works together very well to make sure everyone is serviced. Great job wait staff.

    So this was a lettuce wrap. Womp womp. Iceberg works better than 2 leaves of romaine on a hot patty. Other folks ordered this, so I'm sure I wasn't the only one disappointed. Take a page from Bad Daddy's - iceberg only or don't offer it as an option. Also 1 jalapeño and 1 mushroom ? K.

    Great local sports bar. Friendly staff, good beer selection and awesome food. Sunday morning brunch and mimosas are fabulous.

    You ever wished a bar existed that you could have a family night but also feel comfortable throwing some back with your friends, look no further. Definitely meet Darrell, he'll quickly make you feel like family!

  • 5/5 Sydney D. 2 years ago on Google
    AMAZING breadth of GF options! Multiple gluten free beers and cider. Mashed potatoes and gravy are gf as are crab cakes. Gluten free buns, shared fryer so be aware about that. Great staff who explained options and were attentive despite the evening being busy. Will be back.

👍👍 It was delicious, exceptional drinks, I expected a heated space, as it was cold. I definitely recommend wearing more then 2 layers in the Winter. Despite everything, this this is arguably the better rooftops in Charlotte. Delicious delicious drinks, decent prices, casual atmosphere, amazing times....

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
