This place is loved. The drinks, the food, the decor, it’s what the owner dreamed it could be at its best. The menu is brilliant and attention getting, the signage is great, Claire does a wonderful job.I literally loved everything about Aspen Lodge Bar & Grill!
My family came over from Norway to visit and we met here for lunch. My youngest daughter and I are both disabled. This place was fully wheelchair accessible and they had no problem with my (legit) service dog who was a bit antsy after being greeted by the family we haven't seen in 2+ years due to COVID. She settled down as usual after a short time. All except one of us ordered the fish which could have been better and seemed store bought, but everything else was excellent, the fries, the spring rolls, jalapeño poppers were fantastic (but piping hot of course). The server was very kind and took good care of us. As we were about to leave the bartender (who I assume was the owner) asked how things were and was extremely friendly and very warm and welcoming. Seemed like a VERY nice guy who cared about how our experience was. Back to accessibility ♿️, the one handicapped spot was literally right in front of the door to the restaurant which was very convenient and made things easy. There was a wooden ramp that appeared a bit sketchy but I assure you was in tip top condition and very stable for wheelchairs and feet to travel in or out.All in all this was a great experience, took the leftovers home and fried up the fish the next day and finished it off. This is a restaurant that NEEDS more patrons. It deserves to stay open after so many have closed from such a hit taken by COVID. I feel they might be struggling due to the odd location that is not visible from the street and the lot it's in is pretty vacant. I hope they stay going and get more people in there. Of course they may be doing fine, thus was lunchtime (literally just upon opening) and I have no idea how they do during busier days and times.Take my word for it. This is a lovely quirky little place with skis and skateboards in the rafters and Christmas decor in their log cabin feeling interior. It was very comfortable and the tables are quite far apart making for social distancing as well as privacy from other customersDefinitely give them your business. They really seem to deserve it and you won't be sorry. I have no complaints and will definitely revisit next time I choose a place to meet for lunch or dinner. Unfortunately due to my disability and medical issues I don't venture out much at all especially for meals. So this was a nice treat to find such lovely people and wonderful atmosphere! And the food is great, the fish just wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. Everything else was wonderful!Thank you to the lovely waiter and owner(?) bartender for being so patient and kind to us.
This place is a random diamond in the rough. Odd location and could easily be passed by or missed. Loved the owner, atmosphere and food. The restaurant may not be best for uptight high maintenance folks. It has some real eclectic vibes going on so be open and chill about the experience. Very laid back feel and I love that. Mountain lodge theme with Christmas decor all year round. Yummy gyros/Greek eats and awesome prices. If you have a sense of adventure, check this spot out and support a cool local business. I appreciate that it isn’t well known, but I hope they stick around and keep getting the business they need to carry on.
I'm a truck driver and travel all over . I try to visit local places. And this is one of the best I've come across. The best philly cheesesteak I've eaten. Great atmosphere , great people, and great food. Which is hard to come by in my line of work.Was nice to meet the owner and staff. Will definitely be back next time I come through and have time to stop. Highly recommend this place . We need more people and places like this one.
The food here is so good! Nothing tastes pre-cooked, everything is cooked as you order it, so it comes out so hot and fresh. The owner has great people skills and it shows in his staff as well. Everyone was very friendly.
Absolutely love this place! There is no atmosphere like it anywhere and the food is sooooo good. The owner is all heart and soul and makes you feel so welcome. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable and affordable.
This place is a “diamond in the rough” as in you wouldn’t know by the outside strip mall type appearance what lies waiting for you inside. Incredible food! Friendly service!! Beer cans could be colder but I’m still leaving a five star review. The owner/chef Mesuit came to our table to ask how we enjoyed the meal and if we were locals (Seattle area is home) we’d come weekly to try every menu item. Mediterranean yums and a funky atmosphere! 10/10 will return.
Philly was pretty good, but fries were super salty. Would be much better if not so salty. Service was pretty slow even though they weren't busy. Very Christmasy and an experience.
I grew up in Philly. Nothing I ever had there can compare to the Philly Cheesesteaks from the Aspen Lodge. Yes, they are much better than Pat's, Gino's, Jon's etc.Excellent !
Friendly, personal, warm, inviting… like Christmas at Cheers. “Live is in the air,” says owner Mesut.One-of-a-kind, festive, ski lodge decor?⛷?Gyros, wings, cheesesteak, salads, burgers, fish-n-chips, apps, and happy hour drink specials ($2 beers and cocktails, 2–5PM Thursdays through Sundays).Service to nicest people only
