Linger Lodge - An Exotic Dining Experience
Here at Linger Lodge Restaurant & Bar, we package meals "to go". But why would anyone want to miss out on seeing the place that Al Roker, on the Food Network, once named "One of the Top Five Weirdest Restaurants in the Country". An unusual atmosphere is what makes us unique. Frank Gamsky, the original owner and an amateur taxidermist, filled the walls, ceilings and display cases with local creatures and critters. Preserved snakes, coyotes, alligators and more, keep you company while you enjoy our down-home, southern cooking. Take time to browse the many mounted fish and the strangest of animals, the Blub-Billed Orthlock or the Turkey Rattler.
