Make sure when you go you are hungry. The portion sizes are enormous. With everything I have tried I have either loved it or hated it. No in between. I am very picky about some of my foods so it is most likely more me than them for the foods I did not like. When I leave I always have enough food to last at least another meal of not 2 meals. Some of my favorites are their chicken strip dinner, fried cod (very few places serve fish I will even eat) fried pickles, and I always have to get a salad as one of sides. Best salad you will get in a restaurant, they are not skimpy with the items they put in it.My husband usually gets the chicken Philly sandwich and loves it. The service there is unbeatable. Only downside is they almost always have a wait to be seated. The restaurant is huge so it says something about how good the food and service is here if it is always packed.

OUTSTANDING!! We had a party of 25, and they were very accommodating! The service was 2nd to none! The food was awesome and the portions were HUGE!! Would definitely recommend it to anyone!! Of course with any great restaurant, there was a slight wait time to be seated but was well worth it!!

Got a gift card to this place and I'm glad... only because we didn't have to pay for it. We had to send our food back twice, and by the time all the food was correct we lost our appetite. The portions are enormous, so we took the food home. In heating up the food the next day for lunch we found the stickers still attached to the tomatoes in the sandwich!!! Gross! Despite the issues, the staff could not have been more accommodating. Hopefully, the kitchen practices will mirror the caliber of the front staff soon.

Provided by SuperpagesThis is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is great. The prices are right for what you get and the service couldn't be better. I have tried several different items on the menu and each was cooked to order and was delicious. It is usually crowded and you may have a wait but it is worth it.

That is what this place is known for around the local area. The service is usually good for them being extremely busy non stop. They usually have a huge crowd, but they really do get you settled in quick. I'e walked in there and been sat in 30 minutes where as at Olive Garden half a mile (if that) away I was quoted over 90 minutes. Like most guys I can eat, I can get a salad + appetizer there and be full w/ leftovers, well worth it every once in a while.

Provided by SuperpagesThis is my favorite of all times. My entire family loves Lotawata. There are a few co-workers that come from St. Louis to eat at Lotawata. It's nice, food and portions are beyond my expectations, friendly workers. The onion rings are the best. Everything is just execellent. Long wait we need at least 1 more in the area and St. Louis

Lotawata Creek is the best place to eat(my favorite). They give you plenty to eat and the service is very good. Sometimes you have to wait awhile to get a table. What do you expect though the food is GREAT and its worth the wait.

Provided by SuperpagesLotawata creek has great food most of the time, they just lack consistency. Sometimes the service is good, sometimes it really isn't. Overall I would recommend it.

Provided by SuperpagesThe food was excellent. Despite the restaurant being very crowded and our having to wait about an hour or more to be seated. Due to the restaurant being over crowded, it was very loud. We had to scream to hear each other, and sometimes that was not successful. However, I did go on a Saturday. So, I am taking that into consideration. Our waitress was friendly and courteous. Although we had to wait awhile for our food, hint the crowd, our waitress kept a positive demeanour. I recommend at least trying this restaurant one time. Believe me, you will want to go back. Even if your going back requires you to get your food to go. Call first!
