Chief Lake Lodge

What the heck! Tonight is a Friday night and they are closed. No sign on the door. We have out of town guests and we wanted the eat on a lake experience . Nor going to happen at Chief Lake Lodge. Long drive out here too!

We have been coming to Chief Lake Lodge for years. We miss Rudy! Drinks were watered down as well as the menu. We are disappointed.

Wonderful all you can eat dinner buffet. Service: 5

Bad service under new owners again, did Leinie tour and our bottled beer was not cold. Remodel job is tacky and looks cheap. Menards fake brick walls. And you can't get a paper menu if life depended on it. They have a menu app and the waitress had to turn on the TV that shows what food they offer. She also had to take a photo with her cell phone to take outside to show people on the patio who wanted to order food. And, they evidently do a daily buffet. Pizza looked old and dried out. Past the point of anyone wanting to eat it. It should have been thrown away. They added a shelf above the bar that has a sag in the middle from too many bottles resting on it. A very funny experience. New owners have officially recked what Original owners worked so hard at making a must stop when on the flowage. The place wast not busy when we were there at 3pm on a Saturday Memorial weekend. We'll be back again next year to do the Leinie shirt tour, assuming they are still in business. We have no reason to go back past the two beers we needed for the tour. Similar experience last year when we did the tour. Too bad. Were in the area weekly through the year. And, fyi Tyvek is good for 90 days and you've had exposed Tyvek since last winter. Rudy did much better job before these guys. They're getting it all wrong.
