Meandering rustic sooth and sun-swallowed echoes seem to drizzle down over the heavy gray stone entry ways. There is a shimmering glitter of scooter jewelry adorning the shoulders of the 33 on most afternoons and leather and denim armor adorns those who slip from the highway's smile to stop here for a glutton's feast and to sip something cold enough... more

I live in this town and there are tons of great places to eat and drink. The Deer Lodge is not one of them. We've been here a handful of times and always had a mediocre experience. The last straw for me was this past Monday night. We came in, the bartender said "Sit anywhere," handed us menus from across... more

My family & friends were looking forward to going to The Deer Lodge but we're extremely disappointed. The waitress was not pleasant and it took forever to get our food. Then we had to listen to this guy playing the guitar and sing. It was actually embarrassing sitting there while this so call singer/musician performed. We ended up asking to... more

We walked in right at 5:00, there were only 2 tables taken-- one being the table I had requested. The employees seemed unphased that we had reservations and were clueless... more

The Deer Lodge is awesome! So authenic, fabolous service, and amazing food! They have an awesome bluegrass night too every Thursday with live bluegrass music, and a "dixie chicken fry" menu. Weekends they also have great live blues, funk, classic rock bands. Food is always great-- my favorite is the steak specials, and their seared ahi tuna appetizer. Here's their... more

We have eaten at the Deer Lodge several times in the past and decided to spend New Years with them this year. Wow it was wonderful! It is an old hunting lodge turned restaurant. Dinner is always outstanding New Years was no exception. They served an exquisit lamb, the biggest lobster I've seen in ages and the filet was out... more
