Way across the lobby from the checkin area and Mercantile is the Whispering Canyon Cafe.  The Cafe is open to the lobby, so during the evenings when the restaurant crowds are fired up, the noise levels go up with them.  This is a VERY entertaining restaurant with good and plentiful food.  The family style barbecue meal is served to your table on a central lazy-Susan, so no one has to do much work to get whatever items they'd like to add to their plates.  The meal is served with several different sauces which are fun to sample.

During crowded meal times, it's not at all unusual for the kids to be gathered together for a "horse race" (with all of the spectators twirling their napkins in the air to urge on their favorites). The servers here are prone to antics, too.

Roaring Fork is another eatery here at the Lodge.  It's located down a hallway off of the lobby and has a cafeteria style setup.  Food here is not spectacular, but the prices are right for a quicker snack or meal.

However, Artist Point is at the other end of the spectrum.  Without being at all stuffy or formal, this restaurant serves some of the best meals at Walt Disney World.  The game dishes (the buffalo steak is fantastic, and much more tender than you might think -- and the Salmon grilled on an oak plank is great, too) are top-notch, as is the overall ambience of the restaurant.
