The food was really good! And the staff was very friendly. Our server was very patient and talkative with my family (who ask a lot of questions and appreciated his excellent advice). The decor (lots of taxidermy and wood and golf photos) was maybe a tiny bit much, but certainly added to the lodge experience. And the food was fresh and well paired within each of our dishes. They had live music outside and good spacing inside. And their drinks menu was extensive, they had great mixed drinks (my moms vesper was excellent, as was my apple spiced mojito). Highly recommend for a fancy night out!

American food... excellent. Food was so tasty. Ive had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. It has a good interior.

Spent a beautiful warm afternoon eating lunch out on the deck. Steak sandwich was delicious, as was the Turkey wrap enjoyed by my husband. An appetizer of stuffed crimini mushrooms whetted the appetite for the entree to come. We ended our dining experience by sharing the Triple Chocolate Mousse dessert. It was a truly delightful experience!

Best salmon I ever ate! Wonderful ambiance! I also loved their bread and cheese appetizer, but the food was a little pricey. I will likely go there again regardless. I loved it.

Wilderness Ridge is the perfect place to eat outdoors. They have a large patio overlooking the course and terrific food and service. I had the hickory burger with sweet potato waffle fries ($15) and it was cooked perfectly. The happy hour cocktails and bruschetta are also worth snagging!

Top Drawer destination place to enjoy fine dining in a unique beautiful setting. Great staff and great dining presentation of menu choices. 5 Star stop!

This is one of my favorite golf experiences in this state. This state is loaded with great public golf facilities, but this is a cut above the rest. Great golf holes. I am never disappointed when the round is over though, because I cant wait to head upstairs and eat at one of my favorite restaurants in town. Also some of the best golf instructors around. Course is usually in great condition! They sunk a lot of money into this place when it opened and it has paid off. Gotta check it out!

The service was a little slow. We had probably 20 people and only a few servers so I can see why, but the food was sub-par. My burger was over cooked and chewy. Overall, beautiful place, but eh food

American food here - super good. I give this spot two thumbs up. The place has a good atmosphere.

Niece held her wedding and reception here. Beautiful setting for the wedding next to the small lake on the golf course. Good food and excellent service at the reception. Also had an excellent assortment of bourbons to choose from.

Great course. Excellent Brisket plate for CMBC golf lunch

We’ve been dining for years at Wilderness Ridge, most days it’s fine. Today we were there for breakfast, and it was a miss, but I’m sure we’ll be back. Our food took almost 40 minutes, and arrived incomplete, missing hash browns. We were so hungry we ate anyway. Our server didn’t check back with us until we were done eating, so she took $4 off the bill to make up for the missing hash browns. Seriously? Not to debate the cost of hash browns, but you served only 2/3 of the meal and we are leaving hungry.

Golfing was great! The food and service was also good!

Have attended several wedding receptions there. Wonderful setting, beautiful building, and a nice area

Excellent Fine Dining! Affordable Lunch Menu prices... And Dinner is well worth the little extra Money youll spend!

Very nice atmosphere, I loved the wood architecture and design. I got the Hickory cheese burger and sweet potato fries, and liked it. Bud light draw was 4.50 so that was ok. Wasnt too expensive but the service wasnt the best, kinda slow when not a lot of people there. Outside sitting was nice, you can see the golf course. Overall Id recommend it.

My experience with Wilderness Ridge is marked by frustration, anger and resentment. As the father of a bride, my daughter had made reservations for a reception, food and beverage for 250 people to be held on May 23. Due to the virus, the event was moved to August, but we could not get many relatives to attend for fear of becoming infected without a vaccine. Our only recourse, according to Wilderness Ridge management, was to move to a later date or cancel.Because we did not postpone the event further, we lost nearly $4000 ($1000 for room rental and $3000 for food and beverage). NO food was ordered much less served.Wilderness Ridge was the ONLY vendor that was inflexible due to the changes created by the virus. Every other vendor, The Venue, United Rentals, Jessica Blex Photography, Luxury Limousine, and others adjusted their costs to accommodate us, but not the Wilderness Ridge. We even asked for a food voucher so we could at least have a meal in their restaurant. We were advised that they could have charged us more.There is NO way I will ever patronize Wilderness Ridge again. It is apparent to me that their interest is hanging on to your money, even under the worst of circumstances.Be warned. What a sad thing to say about a business in Lincoln, NE where fair play is the norm, not the exception.P.S. If you decide to have an event, watch out for the “service fee” that they mention in their contract. You must ask them for the amount. The charge is 21 PERCENT for your room rental and for your food/beverage.

I have enjoyed every round at Wilderness Ridge. It is a very challenging course with Out of Bounds coming into play on almost every hole. The pro shop staff has always been very helpful. Overall a great experience if your looking for the feel of a private golf course without the same fees.

Beautiful wood tree restaurant. Will come back

Dinner was delicious and service great. Although the walleye was a stingy portion and I had to return my prime rib for further cooking (was raw). As we told them it was our 12th Anniversary, they gave us a lovely card and a wonderful dessert on the house: chocolate mousse with raspberry sauce (best part of dinner!). Beautiful venue! Will try again sometime next time were in town.

There makes you feel like staying in a mountain lodge.

Played the executive 9 at 140 on Monday. No waiting and a beautiful day made for an excellent day of golf

Great food and Izzy was excellent with service

Definitely not impressed. The steak was cooked perfectly however was essentially tasteless. The risotto? Disgusting!!! It was made more like fried rice. Not sure which is worse the person that made the risotto or the person that looked at the plate and decided it was fit to serve. When you go to a place like this the expectation is that you are going to get top notch food and service. Service was ok. Nothing that was better then any other restaurant in Lincoln and the food was not worth the price they charge for it. I think if they cut the price in half that would be more in line with the quality they serve. They are a long way away from fine dining however they are going to charge you for it. Very unfortunate

They did a lovely job with my wedding. They worked well with me in coordinating what I wanted for the wedding.Their food was a hit!!! All the guests loved the prime rib!

We went late and it probably would have been better before 1 o clock, but overall it was pretty disappointing. The deserts in particular were not fresh. Some nice poached salmon and British breakfast sausage... better in past years.

Great golf course. Challenging yet rewarding. Will be back.

Please don’t have your wedding here. Wilderness ridge should stick to golfing and not even bother having weddings at their venue since they do such a horrible job with them. Worst customer service ever. My sister paid a lot of money for them to treat her like an inconvenience.Brittany Plummer is spineless and rude. Didn’t talk to anyone in the wedding party the entire day and didn’t help with anything. Then went to the DJ and told him to announce that everyone needed to leave BEFORE they paid to be done. Started taking down chairs before guests even left and went so far as to tell the guests to move their belongings off the chairs so she could take them down. Even though we paid to be there at that time. Literally the first time I saw Brittany all day was when she was shooing us out of the wedding early.People were golfing in the background of the ceremony even though we were promised that wouldn’t happen. The reason Brittany was so pushy to get us out is because apparently it was tee time. I’m pretty sure my sisters special day... the ONE DAY of her life that she gets married is more important than somebody’s tee time.Since they were forced out of the wedding space before they were done, Brittany took the bride and groom to take their wedding pictures BY THE DUMPSTERS.I would NEVER recommend wilderness ridge for a wedding. Please spend your money elsewhere so you can be treated with respect on your wedding day.

Beautiful patio, wonderful food. Service was a bit lacking, but server was new. Will go again.

Wont be going back. We were looking forward to brunch because we had heard good things about it. We were disappointed almost from the moment we were seated. We were given no introduction to how to navigate the meal. Normally when you attend a high end brunch they let you know to either go ahead and fill your plate or wait for a server to take your drink order. So we waited and waited and waited. Finally I inquired to the first worker I could get attention from as to what we were supposed to do. He said he wasnt a server. At this point 20 minutes had passed. We still hadnt even had water brought to the table. We decided to go ahead and get some food. When we got back to our table we still didnt have our water glasses filled. I finally was able to get the attention of one of the servers and asked if we could get some water. He went to the back and a few minutes later someone came and filled our water glasses and took our drink order. The food was bland and cold. We didnt bother going back for a second trip to the buffet.

Great Nebraska lottery event. thanks

Beautiful, rustic facility. The lodge style design and decore is wonderful, the brunch is awesome and the staff is very friendly. We will be back!

It is a very beautiful place for a wedding

I was invited to attend a small family gathering at the Wilderness Ridge Lodge Restaurant for my uncles 70th birthday. Being from Omaha I had never been here before and I was really impressed with the facilities, the wait staff, the menu, the quality of food, and the ambiance. It was a really really nice experience. Kudos to your chefs and your menu for being a wonderfully priced over all fantastic value for what was served. I truly enjoyed the experience.

Harry Potter Brunch was great!!

The golf course is kept in excellent condition. Decent prices for greens fees and range balls. Beautiful clubhouse. I have not tried the food so I cannot comment on it.We recently played the executive course (called Talon). See photo. It was a beautiful walk and a quick 9 holes. We loved it in our time crunch.

Scallops were amazing! End of story.

This is the second year we have had our corporate holiday party here. Delicious food, great service! Highly recommended!

Everything we ate was good

Exalant food,service and atmosphere

Brunch was top notch. Prime rib, eggs Benedict, fruit, salad... everything for the most discriminating palate!! Lodge type setting makes for a beautiful environment to enjoy your meal. Good service too!!

Food was horrible and wait staff was very slow and we were the only ones there at the time.

Very good food and drinks! Highly recommend the Mac ‘n cheese for the perfect size meal of cheesy-goodness! Elegant atmosphere, too!

Very beautiful place had they company Christmas party there. The people were nice and servers or nice. Good job

What atmosphere! Your jaw will be on the floor from the parking lot to the end of your meal. Food is fresh, well presented and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly!

Very very cozy. Youll feel like youre in the wilderness here. Excellent menu!!

Awesome, in my opinion, best restaurant in Lincoln. Great setting, great food, great service. Cant asked for anymore.

Patio and golf course are so beautiful! Food is delicious and perfectly cooked. Staf are very nice.

Great food.

As always everything was amazing! Cant wait until next Sunday for our next brunch!

Great place..

My nephews wedding reception was there.Great venue,on the golf course.

A nice place to eat. We made reservations online for an outdoor table to celebrate our anniversaryWhen we arrived, the hostess said they dont take reservations for outdoor seating. No one ever mentioned our anniversary even though my husband mentioned in the note of the online reservation. Food was good, risotto was a little dry. Overall an OK experience.

Pretty course you probably dont want to walk it. There is some pretty long distances between green and tee box. Not crazy about the Friday pricing. Website said $25 for 9 and a cart. Ended up having to pay $41.00 for twilight with a cart and you can golf as many holes as you can. Kind of a RIP off if you ask me.

Lamb was gamy, prime rib was cold and tasteless, sea bass was very good and the desserts were fantastic.

I went here to play in a band for a wedding and I thought this place was very cozy for the wedding. Nice decor. They had many rooms to choose from. The hall we were in can hold 200 people or a little more. Food was good. We had lobster tail and steak. The steaks were a little too well done, a little too dry and not tender as most people were complaining. The rest of the food was okay I thought. For entertainment they had a stage for the band but no built in sound system. They had to bring that in. There is a big patio outside of the hall good for outdoor parties overlooking the large mini golf course for some games and activities. Over all I would recommend booking this place for your next event.

Beautiful place for a wedding. Great staff

One of the prettiest and well maintained golf courses in Lincoln. Would recommend.

Went here for a wedding. Great place! Food was spectacular! The atmosphere was excellent!

Terrible service. Evan and Amanda are the worst. Evan took 20 min at least to check on us between table visits. Forgot my kids food. Appetizers were served 5 min before dinner. Drinks were never refilled. Amanda was the manager and was dismissive and a total millennial in her attitude toward our displeasure. She has no people skills. Evan was the server and should be re trained to be nice.

Beautiful! Very nice place to have a party and a dance.

Beautiful course! So much fun!

Outstanding course. Easily one of the nicest courses Ive ever played. Very friendly people out playing. Pace was plenty fast at just under 4 hours for 18 holes.

Wilderness Ridge is a top spot in Nebraska for golf, drinks and dining. The magnificent log clubhouse is a Lincoln treasure. Youll feel like youre walking into a Rocky Mountain lodge.

Great place for a wedding

Very nice place, good steak

Great layout. Super staff. The course was in great shape!

We had our wedding here on NYE 2018. It was spectacular and that was partly due to the amazing venue, food, and staff. We worked with Isabel who was amazing to help us plan out our event and stay in contact with. We had so many compliments on our venue and its beauty. The food was also amazing and we did stations. Everyone was very impressed! Thank you Wilderness Ridge for helping make our day amazing!

The service was great! The waitress was super nice and attentive.The food was delicious and good portions.. You gotta try the desserts! .. spendy but also you dont do this every day right?!

Great service. We were there during a slow time so it was nice and quiet. Atmosphere was outdoorsy and lodge-like. Cocktail menu was original with house drinks. Lunch for two worh cocktails was $50. Sides were additional. Would visit again!

Service and food was excellent!! Definitely recommend this place to all

Went to listen to music on the deck..Rod Hartwig was performing.. Very good singer.. enjoyable experience talking eating and listening to music..

Cool place....

Great atmosphere but we found the buffet a little past its prime and we were there at 11. Greens and veggies were very wilted. Still had a great time

Good food and love the lodge. The menu is a little limited.

We hosted an event for my company in their main room and everyone raved about how great everything was. The food was on-time and delicious, the bartender was knowlegable and friendly....every need was anticipated and met.I am an event organizer by trade and with the Wilderness Ridge team made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

Will not allow single golfers

Golf course was in excellent condition

My boyfriend and I went to Wilderness Ridge for the first time last night. The facility is very unique for the area and absolutely gorgeous. However, our dining experience was very underwhelming and a disappointment. Our server seemed put-out with us from the beginning, and through the entire meal. We ordered tempura calamari as an appetizer - which came out in a wire fry basket lined with red and white checkered paper you would expect from a county fair... not a Refined American eatery. I ordered the honey glazed salmon as my entrée. The sweet potato hash and vegetables were both cold, and both of those items as well as the salmon were quite bland. The salmon was also very uncharacteristically fishy. My boyfriend ordered a steak with a side of smoky cheddar mac and cheese and vegetables. He was also unimpressed with the vegetables, and mentioned the steak was fine but that he could order a better steak from a major chain restaurant. The mac and cheese was delicious and flavorful. We were literally the only ones in the restaurant until the last half our or so of our visit - and the service, food, and experience was overall very lacking. I wish we could say we would could say it was a great time and would be back (as it is a gorgeous venue) - but the setting just doesnt make up for their downfalls, especially when they are trying to market as a higher-end establishment.

Even though they are working in hole 9 on the Talon, we still love walking and playing. Every staff member cares about their golfers!!

Always have good here. Service is good as well. The decor is very beautiful, very nice atmosphere as well. Always seem to be accomadating!

Loved it. took fam on fathers day. great buffet, no wait. nice staff. decent prices. mil discount for mil member.

Went to a wedding reception here..Very nice.

First time, great time! Had no idea this was in Lincoln, food and service was great!

The unique rustic atmosphere and the general quality of the food is the draw here. An excellent finer dining destination for a young family or as a romantic getaway. Though the duck and pheasant where nondescript in their flavor profile the mushroom ravioli was an incredibly successful concatenation of ingredients. The menu choices offered many interesting dishes in each category with the brussel sprout appetizer being particularly delicious. Recognizing that no establishment is 100% spot on, this destination reaches high up to that mark. Excellent service at all levels.

My wife made reservations to come here for my birthday dinner and I did not have a great experience. The atmosphere was amazing and the bartender Jackson was very kind and friendly, but our server seemed very annoyed from the beginning.My wife and I order streaks and both came out wrong temperatures. Also, our soups came out with our meals. I still ate my steak but my wife sent her step back and it still came out wrong again. My wife does not like to complain so ate all the outside of the steak as much as she could and ate the side dishes that came with it. If there is ever a problem the server should always grab a manger and he did not. If Im paying 35+ $ for an entree I expect it to come out right. The server tried to solve the problem with a desert but that does not make up for the overall experience with the food and service we got.

Awesome golf course. Had alot of fun. The food was really good also. It was 5 stars to.Thanks so much.

The food was very mediocre, some of it was unpalatable. The sweet potatoes fries were soggy and flavorless. The prime rib tips and risotto were over salted. The steak was chewy with a lot of grissle. The scallops were decent though.

Great food & Service always enjoy!

Beautiful atmosphere and great food.

Mothers Day brunch was good. Would have liked to see more breakfast food options. Omelet bar...etc

I have NEVER had a bad meal here!! Wonderful food and atmosphere!! Had 17 people together for brunch for my fathers 70th birthday and everyone was raving about how amazing all the food tasted and we all ate the buffet so that was just what they were making for their regular brunch, and it was amazing!!!

Excellent spot for ambiance and private conversation. Absolutely beautiful driveway to the lodge with all the pine trees in holiday lights. Seeing it at night was gorgeous!

Beautiful facility Armond is not that customer orientated

They said they are going private in 2021. Get in there and visit while you can!

The golf course is excellent. Not a lot of elevation change, but the holes are interesting, and the conditions (summer 2019) are superb.

Great food, and a Great Host

The service here is always great. It is a bit pricey, but it is well with the cost.

Great place for a wedding and reception

Great service, good food and nice atmosphere.
