I normally don't share my experiences when traveling and going to places to eat but this place had amazing food, service, and atmosphere. My server tonight was Margaret and let me tell you that she is an amazing woman. Very friendly and a great person to have a conversation with. She made me feel like I was at a home town restaurant. The chilly was amazing and the Piggy Back burger with curly steak fries was delicious. I also got the coconut cream pie to go, so that I could have it later at the hotel and it is the best I have had in a long time. I will be visiting this place again next week to try one of the fish dinners.

This diamond is located off the beaten path and is worth the drive. Came in to celebrate my friend’s birthday. This was our first time here but we will definitely be returning. “The Grinch” cocktail was very good. The “Werewolf” wings are an absolute must try as long as you don’t mind a little heat! They were cooked perfectly! I had the filet which was delicious, the best tasting melt in your mouth filet I have had in a very long time from any restaurant. The macaroni and cheese was quite good. The cornbread topped with apple butter and the onion rings were ok, but not a must have.

This food was an experience! I danced in my seat the entire time because of how delicious my food was! Initially, I thought $15 for a burger was pricey, but when I bit into that mouth watering sensation that left me dancing in my seat... OOO, weeee!!!! I thought about that burger for a week! Than the following week i was only 7 minutes away from this place, coincidentally, I was telling my twin sister about it, the description made her and her son crave it as much as i did, it is closed on Sunday so we missed out! If you're camping out here at Blue Heron... this is a great place to eat. If you're at Peek and Peak... this is a great place that's close by to have an AMAZING DATE NIGHT! The place was clean, workers looked like they wanted to be there even though we came just before closing. Everyone was friendly and helpful! It is one of the best CSR in restaurants that I have experienced in a while. It's actually rare... Beautiful place with pictures everywhere and art work for you to explore!

Amazing place!! We found it while staying overnight at Peek'n Peak. It was well worth driving off property to experience this place. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The food was amazing!! All 4 people in our group ordered burgers and everything was perfect.

Mom K chose Pine Junction for her 91 st birthday luncheon. We arrived shortly after they opened and were quickly taken to our table for 12. Ashley K, the young lady that waited on us was very patient with us and answered every question we had about the menu . She handled all the drink refills quickly. All of our dishes came out at the same time, correctly, warm and delicious.

Pine junction is a very unique place to eat. It is a little bit out of the way but that's simply adds to its unique atmosphere. They make all of their food from top quality ingredients and prepare them from scratch so what you get is really going to taste well. I suggest they're banging Angus burger, it's excellent.

Great atmosphere and Ethan did a fantastic job! Sang happy birthday with our pie we ordered for dessert. Unforgettable service and atmosphere on our short vacation. French fries were dark like fryer oil needed changed.. but otherwise, food was SPECTACULAR!! Great place family friendly but also beer on tap for night out.

This was our first visit to Pine Junction. What an absolute gem! The food was outstanding and Kayla our server was amazing. We were a party of eight and the wait wasn’t too bad. We met the owner Lonnie and he was a blast. We promise to bring him expensive cigars next time. So happy to see that have a huge hall for catering and events. Smart move! Overall, it was a great dinning experience and will come back many, many more times and bring more friends. If you don’t visit, you don’t know what you’re missing!

We have been here before, but it can be a bit pricey, so we limit our visits. We have never been disappointed in the food. We got the deep fried pretzels that were actually baked and had no salt on them. For dinner, this time around, I got the 8 oz sirloin, which comes with two sides. I went with onion rings and coleslaw. Weirdly, baked or mashed potatoes are not an option. Included is a corn bread muffin drizzled with cinnamon butter. The cinnamon butter is very good, but each time we have been here, the cornbread has been dry. My steak was perfect and the onions rings were very good. My husband got the deep fried shrimp and fries. He didn't seem to get much of either, but said everything was very good. Kudos to this staff. They are all extremely friendly and welcoming. The hostess even came around, thanked us for being there (the evening before Thanksgiving) and gave us a handmade Christmas ornament that was beautiful! The atmosphere is beautiful. Very well decorated and "lodgy" feeling. There is a gas fire pit in the back you can sit around with a drink and just relax. We will be back, it will just be a bit.

One of the best dining experiences in recent memory. The wings were great, well priced and they weren't afraid to give a veritable pool of ranch to dunk the already delicious wings in. Service was top notch, attentive and cheerful. I will be back for certain.

Very nice atmosphere. Has a million dollar log cabin feel. I would not recommend for a fish fry as they used frozen fish. Smelled fishy. The coleslaw was good but it was sweet which is not my favorite. I was disappointed that I couldn't get mashed potatoes. ??? The French fries were fresh made, but limp. I would suggest that if you can't make them crispy then use frozen.

This was my first time to Pine Junction Restaurant. My friend Lisa and I went to dinner. There was a little bit of a wait, however I didn't notice. We sat outside with a drink and enjoyed the grounds. Lisa and I ate inside however one can sit outside as well. We ordered the Smoked Steak House Special- Ribeye Steak. The steak was perfect and the meal was top notch. I would highly recommend Pine Junction Restaurant. Go with family, friends or solo you will enjoy yourself.

Absolutely a beautiful place and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. How ever i wasnt very pleased with the food. Was there for my neices wedding i got the chicken which was actually kinda dry and not any flavor to it. But the appetizers were a hit and yummy as were the drinks.

This was a real nice place that's a bit out of the way. Good place to gather, get friendly service and good food. The decor has a bit of this and that, a lot of outdoor stuff mixed w cars and Indian stuff. There are plenty of tables and 2 bars as well as an outside during g warmer weather. A much visit, in my humble opinion.

We just got back from having dinner at Pine Junction. Despite our large group of 13, we were welcomed immediately and served quickly. We could tell the workers take pride in this venue- the service was extraordinary. Our waitress, Karlen, was attentive and accommodating, but not at all intrusive. She was kind and efficient and probably the best server we’ve ever had. Food was amazing! Can’t wait to come back.

I’ll save my ONE complaint for the end (though it could be a deal-breaker for some)… Positives: Cozy lodge aesthetics, inviting patio waiting area with beautiful flowers and a fire pit (ask someone at the bar to light it for you; we didn’t know this until too late) Service was fast and friendly. Food was excellent: the fried haddock was fresh and flaky with the lightest delicate coating, so nice! Superb sweet potato fries with delicious cinnamon honey/butter dip; shrimp chowder was on point; cole slaw too creamy for my taste. Coconut cream pie was pleasantly homemade tasting—plenty of coconut and wonderful crust. Now for the huuuuuuge missing element which cost a whole star, and this is really tragic in my opinion: where, oh where, was the MUSIC?!? (I’m talking about recorded background dining music like most restaurants have; I’m aware there is sometimes live music here). A lovely dining room and no music reduces it to a cafeteria experience; romance or relaxation —not so much. Some soft, instrumental music with a bluegrass or folksy flare would have made the evening perfect! Such an easy fix! I hope this helps and is taken constructively. I look forward to returning and enjoying the improved ambiance.
