Lakewood Lodge & Restaurant

Lakewood Lodge & Restaurant

A historical railroad lodge with casual & fine dining and nightly B&B rooms, tucked away in Lakewood, PA at the northern edge of the Poconos region. The kitchen works in an American vein, and the split personality is the point: you can come as you are for a relaxed dinner, or trade up to the fine-dining side of the operation when the occasion calls for it. The setting leans rustic — fitting for a building with railroad history behind it — with an upscale polish where it counts, which is a combination that tends to work equally well for couples, families, and larger groups traveling together. With rooms available nightly, it also doubles as a place to stay rather than just a place to eat — useful if you'd rather not drive after dinner, or if you're building a weekend around this corner of the region. Call ahead about dining room hours and room availability, since the two sides of the business may keep different schedules.

Hours, menus and prices change. Call ahead or check the venue's own site before you go.
