I have been for dinner and entertainment a half dozen times. The variety of live shows is always nice. The buffet is a wonder to behold. It has a large selection of meats and main dishes as well as a nice salad bar.

We went for a lunch/theater show. The food was quite good, the service was excellent, but the show - Scrooge - was a disappointment.

We attended a show which was great, and had a very good buffet lunch. Definitely an experience to repeat.
Nestled in a clearing deep in the forest of White Pines State Park, less than 2 hours west of Chicago, discover White Pines Lodge. The showpiece of the park is a massive log lodge built in the 1930’s which is home to a restaurant known far and wide for its delicious home-style cuisine, generous portions and friendly staff. The restaurant is also host to the Pines Dinner Theater, a live theater experience which has been providing musical and comedic entertainment for over thirty years. Adjacent to the landmark restaurant is a charming and rustic gift shop filled with nostalgic flavors and precious mementos. Authentic, cozy log cabins provide overnight lodging just a stone’s throw from the lodge. Natural beauty abounds with miles of trails.
