Singing Springs Resort

we were dropped off mid way on our 80-​mile jet boat ride and had the buffet lunch offered. i was most pleasantly surprised. the salad bar was very good. the fried chicken, sausage and pork loin was very very good, and the dessert bar was EXCELLENT! drinks cost extra, but the servers did not hesitate to refill glasses. the staff was super nice and accommodating. they made you feel totally at home.

We ordered hamburgers the upside look extra burned then I turned them over to see the hidden side. It was charcoal burned in most places at least 50% deep on that side. We took them back to the kitchen ourself since the waitress appeared more interested in texting then doing her job.
We got new burgers (meat only) there were still signs of charcoal on our bun and sweet potato fries.
We looked at their buffet first but the food looked old. We heard other’s speaking about the age of the food.
I would not recommend eating here when you take the Jet Boat ride from Gold Beach.

well, 4.5 stars… but given the surrounding (literally beautiful), 5 stars for sure. We were SOOOO super happy that our 104 mile jet boat ride did not stop at Cougar Lane (OMG ugh) for dinner. Instead, our boat and its 37 passengers parked here. after a 100 yard climb up the hill, we were blessed with the following: amazing view (all shaded) of the river, two waitstaff who were super attentive and friendly, and a buffet that I had pictured would be way worse, the place is located just off the rogue river, as we had just completed the «rapids» portion of the jet boat ride (the rapids were not that big). once onto their well-​groomed property, you are hit by the shear beauty of the place. they even have cabins you can rent year round! bathrooms were kept well, and the landscaping was superb. I could have stayed their well past the one hour dinner time we were given… just relaxing on their big and open common’s area. the food was average, nothing special at all, but sitting outdoors, in the shaded balcony, was a blast and so relaxing after a hot day on the river. if you have a choice of places to eat when in Agness… choose this place… seriously…and never ever choose Cougar Lane (puke).

It’s actually called ‘Singing Springs Resort’.
While less scary than the Cougar Lane Lodge, the lunch buffet left much to be desired. The chicken was ok, but the reconstituted garlic mashed potatoes were terrible. Whoever made them didn’t add enough water, and the result was an over salty, dry, play-​dough-​like dish. No wonder an ice cream scoop was provided to serve them. The gravy was decent, but not good enough to save the potatoes.
The ‘famous’ salad bar was not famous for it’s quality, that’s for sure, and the bleu cheese and ranch dressings were both flavorless and watery. Perhaps an attempt to make the dressings go further?
At one point one of the surly women refilling the buffet yelled at a kid that «…the sunflower seeds are for topping salads, not eating by themselves!» Geez, lady.
At $ 13 per adult, I found it to be quite over priced for what we got. There is one other option on the Jet Boat tour, but if that option is as bad as the other two, I’d suggest just bringing a lunch and eating at the shady tables of Cougar Lane.
