“ 2/25- Another great dinning experience! The food is always on point. My fav is the prime rib special during the weekend accompanied with an amazingly delicious piece of their snickers pie. This time I tried the Hazelnut warmer. It did not disappoint. to the hard working staff! ”

“ The food her is very good. Portions are large enough to share. Happy Hour is dollar off any alcoholic beverage, I know this is bar area, not sure about whole restaurant. Hours are limited so plan ahead. Service is quick on bar side, on other side was told it was not because of training when our waitress left work in middle of serving our table. I won't ding this time but will change review of its a theme. ”

“ Still love coming here. We prefer sitting over on the fireplace side of the restaurant, the warmth of the fire with the Christmas decorations this time of year just feels fun! We were seated quickly, but the server did take awhile to get to us - they were very busy, so it was fine. Once our server came over, she kept the pop/tea refills coming and of course the complimentary popcorn ( so addicting). All of the meals were excellent - A LOT of food for the price! We all had to get to-go boxes as we couldn't eat everything. Such a good time at Lion's Den and glad to see they changed some of the names of food items to reflect the current Lions team. ”

“ My sister was getting hangry, and the place we'd started out for was closed. We were originally heading to another place in Waterford, and then, she remembered the Lion's Den. We'd been there before, so I thought it was a good place to go. First, I am always amused that they serve popcorn as an appetizer -- and it's freshly popped! Our server, Holly, was very friendly an efficient. My sister got the hot roast beef sandwich -- two thick pieces of bread with roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy. She said it was really good, and she ate all of it! I had the chargrilled chicken sandwich with sauteed onions (I didn't realize there was going to be an additional charge for those) and I substituted mashed potatoes for the fries. Honestly, it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. I only ate half at the time, but I took the rest home for lunch the next day. My only complaint, as usual, is the price they charge for iced tea. Honestly, I do not understand how restaurants have the audacity to charge over $3.00 for a beverage that can't cost them more than 25 cents to make. I mean, you can get 100 tea bags for about $2.50! ”

“ A Staple in Waterford as a faster clean pleasant restaurant try the pasta or fish and definitely the pizza ”

“ I absolutely recommend the Lion's Den! Our dining experience was wonderful and Calvin had everything to do with it. The food is wonderful, and the service is JUST as good. Everything was fresh, hot and served quickly. Will definitely be back!! ”

“ Lion's Den has the look of a sports bar. But, when you look at the sprawling menu, it has the feel of a diner. But, the sum of the parts is greater than either. Most sports bars have televisions all over the place, but very little in the way of sports memorabilia. The Lion's Den is practically a sports museum. Everywhere you look, there are dozens of vintage photographs, helmets from professional and college sports teams, and assorted other sports related things. It's very likely you will have to come back here several times to see them all. The main dining area feels more like a dining area than a sports bar, but there are a few big screen TVs, so you can watch the game. But, this blows away any standard family dining establishment. Yes, they do have an assortment of possibly too many things on the menu. But, what they have is very good. It starts very simply, with a bowl of popcorn. To be honest, I looked at it and thought to myself , "I know places don't serve complementary bread anymore, but...popcorn? " In case you come here and think the same thing, do yourself a favor: shut up and eat the popcorn. This is really good, like movie popcorn. There's a good reason for that: they have a movie theater style popcorn maker just outside the kitchen. They do have bread, and it's very good...a subtle garlic salt and butter coating on freshly baked bread sticks. There's a recurring theme with me and the places that sell sandwiches: I always try their Reuben as my first choice. This one is loaded with corned beef and sauerkraut, with a buttery crust on the rye bread. The fries are crispy, with seasoning so good that I didn't need ketchup. My wife ordered a beautifully blackened salmon with buttery mashed potatoes and a surprisingly good vegetable medley. I say "surprisingly" because my wife usually pushes the vegetables aside. But there was a lot of care taken with the prep on these. They had a savory quality that really elevated these simple ingredients. Despite it being a mostly packed house, the service was very good. The food arrived after a reasonable amount of time...and there was the popcorn to tide us over while we waited. Definitely somewhere we want to try again if we're in the area. ”
