Giant City State Park Lodge & Restaurant

This place has always been an amazing experience! The scenery and trails are beautiful. We prefer the bluff cabins. Mikey is too cool and is there to help out with whatever. Our server's at the restaurant, Dylan and Eli were incredible. And the food was delicious as always. I recommend this place to my friends and to everyone else so they can have the same great experience as I do every time.

Single cabin room was quite acceptable and cozy for the price, however as other reviews have noted the beds are unbelievably soft. Plenty of towels provided however some were threadbare and had frayed edges. Restaurant was mediocre. All you can eat chicken seemed left over from lunch, while sides seemed packaged, not homemade. Soup and side portions were extremely small for the price. Server was great, very cheery. Side note: main hiking attractions are NOT in or even near the park. Garden of the Gods is 22 mi away

We live about 40 minutes away and like to hike in the park. We always stop at this restaurant after hiking and come here often. My husband loves the all-you-can-eat fried chicken dinner. It comes with TONS of sides. I always get the fried fish sandwich because I really like it. My sister-in-law loves their corn fitters. On our most recent trip, my best friend was with us. She's vegan and ordered the veggie wrap and liked it. They also have a full bar if you want to enjoy some adult beverages. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

The smoked chicken was dry. The bison burger was in no way worth $22. The prime rib had as much fat as it did beef. The staff was very nice and it's a neat looking place. They've got some cabins for rent and it's in a very pretty setting. I just wouldn't go there for the food.

I loved it. Setting is beautiful, historic lodge is well maintained. Food, cocktails and people were great. (They had me at white lightening peach tea.) Only negative, as mentioned in the other reviews, is that the mattresses are way too soft. Seriously they should just buy some firm memory foam. But I cant wait to go back!
