Dining at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines: where to eat on-property and what to expect
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines has several on-site dining options ranging from breakfast at Heartwood House to a farm-to-table dinner at Stories Ranch Kitchen, casual roadhouse fare at Maverick's Roadhouse, poolside snacks at Old Buck's Place, cocktails and flatbreads at Maude's Bar & Terrace, and an intimate 10-seat Sushi by Scratch omakase counter.

- Heartwood House — sit-down breakfast, family-friendly, center-of-property location.
- Old Buck's Place — poolside counter service; no reservations.
- McDade's Coffee Emporium & Ice Cream — coffee, ice cream, snacks.

Dinner choices: Stories Ranch Kitchen and Maverick's Roadhouse
Stories Ranch Kitchen is the property’s farm-to-table steakhouse with a seasonally rotating menu that highlights ingredients from local ranches, farms, and the resort garden. It offers indoor and outdoor seating and follows a Resort Casual dress code; reservations are encouraged.
Maverick's Roadhouse takes a roadhouse approach to Texan favorites — burgers, brisket tacos, chicken-fried steak — and doubles as a lively, walk-in-friendly spot that serves lunch through late night. For large groups, contact the outlet managers directly.
- Stories Ranch Kitchen — best for a sit-down dinner and special evenings; closed Sun–Mon.
- Maverick's Roadhouse — no dress code, walk-in friendly, open late.
- Both venues serve a mix of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options; check menus for seasonal changes.

Cocktails, small plates, and the omakase experience
Maude's Bar & Terrace is the main bar with indoor-outdoor seating, fire pits, live music, wood-fired flatbreads, and Southern-inspired cocktails. The bar is open nightly and the kitchen closes earlier than the bar.
Sushi by Scratch Restaurants offers a very different, chef-led option: a 10-seat omakase counter with a 17-course tasting menu and nightly seatings. Reservations are required for Sushi by Scratch and the menu follows strict seating and cancellation terms noted by the omakase operator.
- Maude's Bar & Terrace — bar 5:00 PM–12:00 AM; kitchen 5:00 PM–10:00 PM.
- Sushi by Scratch Restaurants — 10-seat omakase; nightly seatings at specified times; reservations required.
- If you want the omakase, book well in advance — seating is limited and the operator has a cancellation policy.
| Outlet | Reservation required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Maude's Bar & Terrace | No (but seating can fill for live music) | Indoor/outdoor; live music; fire pits |
| Sushi by Scratch Restaurants | Yes | 10-seat counter; 17-course omakase; nightly seatings |
Poolside dining, in-room dining, and food logistics
Old Buck's Place handles most poolside and quick-service needs. The Crooked River Water Park has wristband and supervision rules that apply to pool access; outside food and coolers are not allowed in the water-park area, so plan to buy snacks on site.
In-room dining is available during set hours. If you have dietary needs or are traveling with pets, note that pets are not permitted in food and beverage outlets per resort policy.
- Old Buck's Place — poolside hours vary by season (check with front desk).
- In-room dining hours: daily 7:00 AM–11:00 AM and 5:00 PM–10:00 PM.
- Pets are not permitted in restaurants or the water park; designated dog-friendly rooms must be reserved in advance.
| Service | Hours / Note |
|---|---|
| In-room dining | Daily 7:00 AM–11:00 AM and 5:00 PM–10:00 PM |
| Poolside food | Old Buck's Place — seasonal hours; no outside food in water park |
| Dietary/pet note | Pets not allowed in F&B outlets; contact hotel for pet room reservation |
Tips for reservations, dress, and dining with kids
Reservation needs vary: Sushi by Scratch requires reservations; Stories Ranch Kitchen encourages them; Maverick's Roadhouse is primarily walk-in but can accommodate groups via manager contact. Check outlet hours before you go as some are closed certain days.
Dress codes are relaxed across the property. Stories Ranch Kitchen lists Resort Casual; Maverick's Roadhouse and Sushi by Scratch do not enforce a specific dress code. Families are welcome and Heartwood House offers a kids' menu; there are also family-friendly pool areas and a children's pool.
- If dining at Stories or Sushi by Scratch, reserve early—especially on weekends.
- For large groups (10+ at Stories, 12+ at Maverick's), contact the outlet managers via the resort's group contacts.
- Bring cashless payment methods — the property operates as a cashless hotel.
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Weekend dinner at Stories | Make a reservation in advance |
| Sushi by Scratch omakase | Reserve a 10-seat counter spot in advance (limited seating) |
| Large group | Email outlet managers for group arrangements |
