| - Mt. Charleston Lodge Restaurant is home to all patrons who very much desire a good hearty American meal while enjoying the natural beauty and spectacular view of mountain ridge landscapes. My friend rides a bike and he knows the best place where riders gather to enjoy a great meal together. And this location is one of their favorite hot spot. We road on a gorgeous day after the rain. As you know, the temperature is still cold and when rain comes it makes snow. The road travels toward the lodge at 7,000 feet in elevation. There are already crowds and large groups of people doing selfies and family snapshots. The parking lot is small and it does get full quickly. Luckily for my friend and I, it didn't take long for us to find a sizable space to park his bike.
When we enter the lodge, there is a tall fire pit in the center of the room. Instantly, I felt the welcoming warmth and liveliness of people genuinely having a good time. The place is busy as a bee. Thankfully my friend found a suitable table for us. He ordered the Half Rack St. Luis Style BBQ Ribs ($18) with Seasoned Fries and it comes with a Signature Hawaiian Coleslaw . I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap ($15) with a side of ranch dressing. I was asked if I would like chips, coleslaw, or fries with my meal. And to no surprise, I always choose fries.
The St. Luis Style BBQ Ribs are slow roasted at a low temperature, it's done to achieve optimal flavor, and then it's finished on the grill. The BBQ ribs are so tender that the meat just easily glides off the bone. My friend is not a fan of coleslaw but with the addition of pineapple in the Signature Hawaiian Coleslaw, it makes all the difference on how great it taste. Now my Buffalo Chicken Wrap has crispy chicken tossed in a spicy hot sauce and it's serve with diced tomatoes and lettuce in a jumbo flour tortilla. This is almost like having spicy chicken hot wings in a wrap. It's delicious! The crispy chicken has an amazing spicy flavor and the ranch just complements real nicely. I do enjoy seasoned fries when it's serve hot, well-done, and it taste great when you dip it more in ranch.
Overall, the service here is quick and the meals are very satisfying. The only minimal issue I see is that the ladies room can somewhat be a tight quarter to maneuver through even there is a long wait line. Nevertheless, coming to the lodge is so much worth it, especially with the view I wouldn't mind returning here in a heartbeat!
