The Lodge Tavern And Tap - Belmont

The food is truly exceptional and quite impressive. The ambiance is a bit too dark for my taste, although it does match the theme of "The Lodge." My parents had some difficulty ordering and paying the bill due to the low lighting. The music is a bit loud, which can make it challenging to communicate with the staff, but they do have some engaging football games playing on TV in the background. The servers were attentive and helpful, though not particularly warm or friendly. I highly recommend the Grilled Chicken Alfredo; it has incredible flavor, complemented by fresh tomatoes for a nice contrast to the Alfredo sauce. The toasted breadsticks were delightful, and the chicken was both tender and flavorful. Additionally, for those who are mindful of protein intake, the portion sizes are generous.

It was Labor Day and we were searching for a diner for our final night in the Belmont, NC area. After an extensive search, we discovered The Lodge, and I couldn't be more impressed. We were seated quickly, and our server was incredibly friendly. She took the time to explain the menu items and always greeted us with a genuine smile. I ordered the club sandwich, and it was a fantastic take on a classic dish. Everyone in our group was very happy with our choice. The restaurant's decor was inviting without being overly ornate, which made for a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

The food arrived quickly, which was a plus, but it seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The burger was decent—cooked well but lacking in seasoning. The fries and onion rings were lukewarm and oily, almost as if the oil needed to be refreshed. Unfortunately, the same was true for the fish sandwich; the batter was overcooked in spots and it was simply seasoned with salt. Considering we spent $40, I expected a much better experience. I doubt we'll return.

I stopped by here after my eye appointment and it was really nice. My bartender Cierra made the bomb Moscow mules! They have so many different flavors. They have daily drinks and food specials. I enjoyed myself and will definitely be back.

From the outside, this place looks a little sketchy. It is a little off the main street and some of the side walls are peeling. Parking is the toughest part, though that affects all Belmont restaurants.Walking inside hits you fast- wow this place is amazing. Took my eyes a little to adjust from the bright sunlight to the darker wood interior. Very warm and inviting. Looks much bigger inside than what the outside seems.Not sure if we had reservations, but we were seated fairly quickly. Service was quick, friendly, and very good.Very good variety of food. I had a hard time deciding. I got pork chops. They were a little too dry for my taste, but everything else was excellent. Other people in my party said theirs were excellent. Will definitely be back to try more in the future.
