Cougar Lane Lodge

Super clean and neat rest stop. Easy to access bathrooms. Food was excellent. Nice people, very helpful with directions and tourist ideas. Gas expensive as to be expected is such a remote location but nice to have it available if you are running low. Beautiful views from deck while you eat; a few annoying yellow jackets.

Let's talk BBQ - this is it. This is THE spot in Oregon for BBQ. Get their BBQ tray with a side of "spicy" sauce (not spicy, just extra flavorful), and enjoy all the little sides that come along on the tray. (HOW was the cole slaw so good??) If after a perfect meal (seriously, open a location in PDX pls) you want a lil sweet treat, split their pie with two scoops of ice cream with a special someone and taste that brown sugar and berry pie goodness. I'm dead.

First time here with my family and it was great. There was a wedding party ahead of us so we thought it would be quite a wait for our food, but it came within 10 minutes and it was SO good.!! The service was excellent, his name was Noah and he went above and beyond to meet our special needs, (my mother is 97 ).The drive is well worth it.

Customer service went above and beyond. Owners helped me remove 3 ticks I picked up from backpacking the Rogue River Trail. Restaurant food was wonderful. Highly recommend the brisket with mango relish. Covered back seating area perfect for riverside lunch or dinner.

Nice outside seating. There is a good view from pretty much any place you sit. The food is good and they are dog friendly. We've been here a few times since we moved to the area and have never been disappointed. Well expect for fall and winter when the restaurant is closed. It can get a little busy when the jet boats stop but have a cold drink and enjoy the scenery and relaxation. It will be worth the little wait if there is one.
