The breakfast at
Big Sur Lodge receives mixed reviews. While some guests found it satisfying, others noted issues such as long wait times, high prices and insufficient portions. Dinner options were praised for their delightful, reasonably priced dishes and friendly service, although the restaurant's inconsistent hours and limited menu offerings led some to seek dining alternatives.

Accommodations at the lodge, ranging from cabins to rooms, are generally well-received for their spaciousness, cleanliness and cozy features like fireplaces and forest-view balconies.

The lodge's rustic charm, featuring wood-burning fireplaces, provides a cozy and romantic atmosphere, despite a few mentions of non-functional or inadequately heating fireplaces.
