Located in Bel Air since 2009, the popular and rustic log cabin restaurant The Lodge is located off of Conowingo Road. The doors open at exactly 11:00 am and close at 12:30 am. The Lodge has various things to indulge in such as appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, and soups.
One of the restaurant’s most popular meals is its famous rockfish bites, but another favorite is the quesadilla.
Religion Teacher Thomas Vierheller said his favorite meal at The Lodge is a tie between the ribs and the Avalanche Burger.
Along with its flavorful food, the restaurant also values its hospitality and welcomes every one of its guests with the respect and care they deserve. Going to The Lodge guarantees a good meal and welcoming customer service.
The Lodge also has several JC students who work at the restaurant. The employees of The Lodge value their friendships with colleagues and trust in the management and structure of the restaurant. Hostess and JC Junior Annabeth Hohman said, “I love the connections you build with people, and how close you get with the people you work with.”
Customers at The Lodge are given the option by the hostesses of whether they want to sit out on the patio or have inside seating. This is an amazing option as if it is warm, you can enjoy the sun outside, but if it is raining, you can still enjoy your meal inside away from the rain.
Another important aspect of the seating arrangement is the two bars, one on the patio and another inside as well as the live music they have outside for all to enjoy.
In addition to the outside patio, there are ski-lift chair swings outside to add to the cabin-like feel of the restaurant. This is a customer favorite and often what adds to the appeal of the outside patio.
Mr. Vierheller said, “Food is consistently great and priced well. Service is quite good, and the atmosphere (both indoors and patio) is awesome and welcoming. My wife and I also love seeing JC students and alumni employees who recognize us and treat us warmly and professionally. This time of year, we enjoy the patio and enjoy the live music and fresh air.”
This is recommended because the food is consistent, the atmosphere relaxing, and the service phenomenal. With some alumni integrated into the staff, Patriots will have a welcoming experience.
