    The Smokin Silverback - Beef ribs

    This was part of a mini strip mall where one ordered at the counter and waited at a table until the…read morefood was ready. They served mostly traditional BBQ options from platters to tacos to sandwiches. The food was ready promptly and the service at the counter was friendly. I went with the two meat platter ($18). It came with two meats, a side, and a drink. I opted for the brisket and pulled pork as well as a side of corn. I also choose their original BBQ sauce. This was average at best. Both meats were a little dry, so the sauce needed to be added. The sauce was alright, a little smoky as well as sweet, but nothing great. The corn was fine as well. Will I go back? Probably not.

    Came tues June 26th at 11am the heavenly smell of the smoking. ..Over all i give it a 4.. Service…read morewas Great and fast Tracy the front counter gal was so Amazing(5) good w suggestions explaining about all the diff combos n foods. IDEA......They should offer the chips(home made 5) and 3 sample cups of bbq sauce THEIR choice to try them While waiting for their meal(like Plaza does w chips n salsa) and u would sell more bbq sauce.. btw Carolina Gold wow top notch was rockin(lil zip but sweet honey mustard flavor) Sweet n vinegar(not sweet but very vinegary) there was one that tasted like Hot sauce n red hot tgether My friend loved it.....I like that they came dwn in his prices and gives u choices that YOU want instead of having a set menu. Gouda Mac n cheese good when hot but as it cools could use some creamy element, Potato wedges although they look like fries WOW Really good. Ribs(5) are very fall aprt tender.. rib tips eh lil dry for my taste but friend loved them. Corn bread was a tad dry but good(thought they said it was smoked didnt taste like it) The Ribs were the of the show. $20 for 2 meats, 2 sides and A pop/soda( Off brands but very good) . Sweet Tea was offered but tasted old(No water knob if u wanna drink water) Ok Decor... Bathroom Truly needs some brighter colors, lotions n sprays cute idea..Maybe put them near the sink after u wash ur hands away from someone coming out of the stall mite grab them ew.. Please get a Tp holder for toilet paper lord knows whose hands have been on the roll N handicap bar The restaraunt could use Sky lights or brighter colors to brighten it up so it dnt look so dark cave like. If this is a Silverback smoking place Mite i suggest Some Old N New pics of You or Someone Smoking meats at home at old fairs..that be amazing customers would love to look around at them and Maybe some Silverback Apes as well. The music blaring out of kitchen i couldnt hear the concert on tv above the Party room doors. Thank you for a wonderful meal That gal who helped us definitely earned her day. I hope N pray You share the tip Jar with her she deserves it.

    This was a large place with a lodge type vibe and lots of specials with appealing options. The…read moremenu had lots of choices ranging from burgers to seafood to steaks. The service was alright. It took some time to receive some items, but they were very friendly. For an appetizer, the Asian plum wings ($14) were ordered. There were eight wings that were of good size. They were cooked appropriately and had a nice crunch. The sauce was interesting as it had a soy sauce flavoring with a spicy factor with a little bit of sweetness too. For my entrée, I had the 8 oz. Viking steak ($29). It came with a side, green beans, and bread. I chose a house salad for my side which was an added charge. The salad was alright, onions just cut too large, and not really a lot of bacon present. The bread was okay. The garlic butter was appetizing. I ordered the steak medium rare and that was how it came out for the most part. The steak was flavored nicely, but some parts were a little tough. The green beans were tasty and pleasant with the butter used. Will I go back? I would, yes.

    This is getting such a low review because the service was bad enough that we got up and left before…read morewe ever placed an order. For some background, Timber Lodge was a steakhouse my family used to go to all the time in the early 2000's (specifically the Fridley location - RIP), so there's a lot of nostalgia when I think of this place. Owatonna is quite the commute from Saint Paul, but I thought it would be worth it for a Father's Day surprise, as this restaurant chain was special to my dad and I. I made a reservation in advance and had specifically requested booth seating. When we arrived this evening, the front desk let us know it would be a 15 minute wait for our table, no problem as we arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early. My dad and I sit at the bar, wait 5 minutes for the bartender, get our drinks, and then another 15 minutes later someone comes to seat us. My dad paid out the bartender and then walks with me to our table. The host seats us at a 4 top regular table - my dad asks if we can be moved to a booth (as my reservation requested) - the host lets us know that there are no booths available...but there are at least 8 booths open with no one seated. We accept that we'll have to sit at a table, but then wait 15 minutes and no waitress even acknowledges us. At one point, an older woman asked my dad to get out of his chair because of the way the floor plan was set up, she couldn't get past otherwise with her walker. At this point we had enough. What should have been a lovely meal with my dad to celebrate, ended up being a waste of an hour drive down to Owatonna. If there's an immediate takeaway, the staff should be more attentive and communicate better with their patrons. Will not be back.
