Restaurant is clean, we are greeted immediately. Owner always comes to our table and greets us personally. He will always take care off the teeniest problem personally. Servers are all very courteous, friendly and efficient. Prices are moderately priced, the food always seems to be fresh and the portions are huge. They have an "Early-Bird" menu on weekdays before 5pm for $6.99. Even these have generous portions which include pudding for dessert. Breakfast is served all day. Lots of Seniors go there frequently for dinner. We usually go one day a week and again on Sundays after Church. James and Lori M. read more

Well I for one enjoyed eating at this restaurant the food was great. My favorite is the chicken fried steak. As far as the service it was kinda slow but it was really busy so I couldn't complain to much. And every time any one passed me they were sure to ask if I needed anything else. Over all I would eat here again. read more

I'm thrilled to report that Amar (the owner) reached out to me. He was very apologetic and is taking steps to resolve this so it doesn't happen in the future (double checking to go orders, etc.) He was very kind and was grateful for the review so this could be brought to his attention. He is a new owner of the business and is resolving past issues and wants to make a better Lumberjacks for the community. He was very, very kind, and I'm extremely impressed with his demeanor and the way he handled the situation. He's turned it around for us and we will be back there again! read more

Buy a cheap TV dinner and eat at home. I travel a lot. This was without exception the worst food I have ever eaten. This salad bar was tired. The entrees pretty horrid. read more

They should get zero stars. They aren't open until 10:00. Or maybe they are and just decided to close early.

Just returned from a very good, casual and quick dinner at Lumberjacks. Our server, J.R., was excellent, offering a lemon slice for our waters without our even asking, and otherwise being alert and attentive (he brought a take-home box for my husband's leftover wrap without our having to ask). My Senior Jack Burger was fresh and tasty, and the french fries were outstanding -- blazing hot from the fryer, crunchy outsides. My husband said his California Chicken Wrap was "very, very good." The restaurant was not very busy, which is a shame because we've had other good experiences here. We live very nearby and will be back again soon. read more

I was apart of a party of 6 from out of town that can be somewhat rowdy. We went in to the place because we can all eat. We looked up this place and decided to give it a go. We walk in and get greeted by this waitress, Jennifer. She was very outgoing and a fun person to have running the table. She got us hooked up with all of our drinks and cracked a few jokes here and there to keep us on our toes. By the time she got us our drinks and we were all settled in she passed us on to a new server. At first we were all disappointed because we had such a great experience so far with Jennifer and we were only about 10 minutes into dinner. She introduces us to our new serve JR and low and behold - these two are two peas in a pod. They kept us laughing the entire night and kept up on all of our drinks (which is always an important part). They were both outstanding servers, always making sure we had what we needed. By the end of the night we were all completely satisfied and pleased with our service. A few of us come from the restaurant business and are a little particular on our service but, we couldn't have asked for better service before our trip home. My boyfriend and I ended up coming home with 2 meals from leftovers and dessert. Long story short - Jennifer and JR. They are outstanding servers and will make your experience just how you would want it to be. These two feed off the energy of their guests and really know how to make people feel welcome. Two thumbs up, we live about 3 hours away and still can't stop talking about this place. We will definitely be coming back sometime, the drive is worth it. read more

Healthy portions, good food, nice service. I would definitely try this place again. I rated it 3, but it's closer to a 3.5

Went on the 4th before the parade. They where very busy and honestly they where a little slower then usual but you have to allow for the holliday. Once food came out it was very good and we took alot home with us to have another breakfast again in the mornimg. They where helpful and had to accommodate our special needs and were willing to do so with smiles. We foumd the resturant to be clean and as well as the tables. read more

Love coming here! Wonderful atmosphere and great food. Especially worth it due to my server JR! Also grateful for both the staff and the establishment to be open during holidays. Went here on thanksgiving and I couldn't be more happy! read more

I had a family road trip and this was the perfect place to stop, even had some leftovers for the car. Definitely will come again Billie's service was worth it. read more

To management & personnel of Lumberjack restaurant would like to think everyone the waitress's Lauren Billie Megan Taylor Ana. I really want to think Lauren i really enjoyed our little talks we had her great service and beautiful smile, and always the real good food & coffee, oh yeah the orange juice. Take care John Retired Air Force. read more

Stopped in with the family. First time here. Potato skins - delicious. The tuna melt was excellent. Burgers were cooked perfectly and the kids loved the mac & cheese. Management and servers were efficient and very friendly. We will definitely be back. Can't wait to try the turkey melt! read more

Was visiting the area and selected this resteraunt while driving by. Everyone in our party of 7 greatly enjoyed the resteraunt. The salad bar was well stocked with cold, crisp, and fresh veggies. The quantity and quality of our main dishes were great, but had a little more pepper than some in the party liked. The service was absolutely FANTASTIC! Our glasses were always topped off. We were given the mountain hospitality the Nevada City / Grass Valley area is known for. Never have I been more sincerely welcomed in a resteraunt than here. Even the other customers were friendly and kind. Its a real shame I don't live closer. The owners went through considerable effort and expence in creating a lumberjack atmosphere, from the wooden chairs and large metal mugs to the lumberjack videos on flat screen TVs. read more

The atmosphere is very comfortable and friendly. I eaten at all three times of the day and the food has been very good every time. For the price their prime rib is the best I have ever had. I was served a piece of carrot cake that was so big, after I ate as much as I could it was still too big to fit in a to go box. read more

Treat you just like family...from the general manager Rene to Jen and AJ. Great food and service.

We just had the worst dinner experience. Husband order the ground round dinner the onions and mushrooms were not sauted, then hamburger patty was over cooked and flat. He has had this before which was done different. Onions were cook inside the patty-you should change back to this. I order the prime rib dinner asking for medium but received it rare also had no baked potatoes. The soup was vegetable beef more like a stew with no vegetable. The service was good but very slow. Very disappointed but manager helper JJ was very understanding and comp the whole meal. Lumberjack should stay with their known menu. read more

Server was nice friendly, was a misunderstanding on the plate but she made it right! Food was good we probably will return if in town again

I dont know why we came back, my hash browns were cooked so hard you could barely cut them with a knife. The service was was crap, took forever to catch the waitress eye and another 4 years to get what you asked for. Never coming back. read more

This was an outstanding restaurant. We were on our way to a different place with a high rating and when we passed Lumberjack's we just decided to pull in and give it a try. I'm sooooo glad we did. We were there for breakfast and the food was excellent. We had fantastic service and the giant cups of coffee came quickly and were re-filled frequently. One person in our party ordered a biscuit on the side and it was the most enormous, beautiful, perfectly cooked biscuit I have ever seen. The meat in the omelet was very flavorful and another person in our party raved about the sausage patties. Our server was Keaton and he was outstanding. One thing our party liked was the choice of hashbrowns or country potatoes. We had fans of both. The ESPN Lumberjack games playing on the big screen was a nice touch. If we are near Grass Valley we will be at Lumberjack's for sure. read more

I order breakfast to go on a regular basis from Lumberjacks. They always have the food ready within 15 minutes and ready to go when I arrive. I am a huge fan of their eggs benedict. The ham they use has no fat and is easy to cut, the holinday sauce is creamy and delicious, and the english muffin is never burnt. I've tried eggs benedict around town and Lumberjacks is the most delicious and least expensive. read more

Now that Jeff is the chef/manager, things have improved. Give it another shot. No, not a high end restaurant so do not expect 4,5 or a six course dinner. But what you will receive is improved quality, good presentation and value. Above all else, a very friendly and caring staff. Thanks Jeff! keep it up. read more

Decor was interesting, the basil tomato soup was fine. My small prime rib and baked potato were horrible. The first baked potato was cold. Looked good with all that stuff on it, but cold. The second one brought was luke warm - wouldn't even melt the butter. I told the waitress I wanted a hot piece of prime rib so if medium is what it took, then medium would be fine. Nope. It was luke warm too. No flavor, and their serrated blade steak knife couldn't get through the gristle, it took my pocketknife to get bite sized pieces. Pretty bad meal when the bread was the hottest thing on the plate. Bought some Pepsi and cookies at the grocery store next store - finally something great!! One star for the basil tomato soup, the second star for the waitress. I'll make it simple - don't eat here. read more

Not sure why all the bad reviews...went there this past Sunday, 1.18.15 we did wait, what seemed, to be a while to get our food, but once it came it was hot and delicious...daughters eggs, she said, were a little undercooked, but we like them "well done". Would go there again. read more

Always enjoy my time at lumberjacks, food is always good food, great service and welcoming atmosphere. Billy is an awesome waitress, so attentive and on top of everything!!!! read more

I'm very disappointed. I went there on my birthday, ordered a prime rib well done. It came back very bloody 4 times. So I ordered a different steak. The cook was so mad that he pounded this stea to 1/4 inch thickness. They had to deep fry the baked potato to get all of the salt off. The best food part of the meal was the salad bar. The manager and waitress were very kind and apologetic. Don't know if I will go back. read more

The service is terrible and the food was just ok. We went there for lunch about 1pm on a Saturday. The were not busy at all. We were there for an hour and it only took us about 10-15 mins to eat. Our waitress came to our table twice. Once to take our order and once to bring the check. I ordered a side of ranch which she wrote down, someone else brought our food and I asked for my side. 10 minutes later I got my side! The food was just so so. Not bad but not great. And $27.00 for lunch for 2. Needless to say, I will not be back, ever! read more

The worst service I have ever had!!!!! The waitresses were horible and rude. They took 45 minutes to get us refills and an hour for the food. We ended up leaving before we got the food because we were so offended. Dont ruen your day by dealing with these rude people read more

Jacob has amazing customer service skills! Very impressed. He is the reason for 2 of the 3 stars. The additional star is for the skillet that my husband ordered. The skillet was made to perfection and was warm all the way through. Negative was I ordered a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich on sourdough. When my food was brought to the table, my sandwich only had 1/4 of a piece of cheese on it and the cheese was not melted. It was sent back to the kitchen for cheese. When the sandwich came back, it had cheese but it wasn't melted again. The turkey was ice cold. Our server explained that the cook was new and that he should have grilled the turkey on the grill prior to putting it on the sandwich. He said we could send it back again if we wanted to. I declined the offer. I accepted the sandwich as and dealt with it. There was no compensation or discount given. We were charged full price for a cold grilled cheese....Epic Fail Lumberjack's. This is the last time we will be going. read more

So I went to Lumberjacks to have prime rib on a Wednesday and they now only serve that on the weekend. So I ordered a new york steak medium rare. What I got was a piece of shoe leather well done. What was suppose to be a steak actually looked like the end of a piece of tri-tip and taskted like it. Yuck!!!! The service was okay. When I asked for the prime rib the waitress told me they stopped serving it during the week and commented that she wished they still served it DAH!! I then commented that it was the only thing on the menu I liked. The big john burger isn't bad either. However for a restaurant that promotes itself as a quasi place to get ribs, steaks and burgers etc.. the quality of their meat is low grade. Lyons did a better job as a diner. Lumberjacks I can see is a Sysco Systems customer. I can hear the truck backing up with the cheap meat as I write this. read more

I think it's a good attempt for a new restaurant in town, but unfortunately we won't be going back. The prices are good, but the food is just not that good at all. We've been for breakfast and dinner and both times were not impressed. Maybe they're better at lunch! But our service wasn't bad, for how busy the servers were. Too bad a better chain like Black Bear couldn't have gone in there. read more

Met a friend for dinner...had such a good time! Food was delicious, our server Nancy was very attentive andvery friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend for a meal out read more

The first time we ate at lumberjacks we had eggs bene and it was really good! Since then something bad happened the food is terrible. Denny's is much better than this. We gave it the third try and it's done. Guess that building is cursed - wonder what will go in there next. read more

One of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. Food was slow and nasty when we got It. One of the first times that I have not finished the meal or at least taken it home with me. Not worth anything but the trash. read more

Good folks, good food, and good prices. The service is good, and the portions can be a bit too large for those that are not too hungry. If in doubt about the size of the portion, ask the waitperson. The General Manager, Rene, likes to visit the tables and ask if everything is okay with the patrons, something that is a rare occurrence in today's restaurants. read more

Lumberjacks Restaurant in Grass Valley what a find. My favorite place to eat breakfast in my home town. Redding, CA. Can't decide who has the better service or food. They serve large portions and at a low price. The Lumberjacks Theme is great. The service was fast and friendly and the food was amazing. read more

Good food good service. They let us stay and watch a soccer game for Mother's Day. Stroganoff was delicious

Lumberjacks Grass Valley is wonderful. We had a Mother's Day lunch with 20 of us. First off they were very accommodating. I did warn them ahead of time that we were coming. Everything was set up when we got there. Billie our waitress was outstanding. Drink orders quickly and then taking our orders with separate checks. She was friendly and professional. The food was great! Plentiful and hot. Three of the guys in our party had the 1lb burger. Humongous and they all said it was an excellent burger. Only one of them finished it though... it was huge! We were never rushed and we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you to the cooks, the manager and especially to Billie. We will be back! By the way the LumberJill salad is delicious. Great garlic dressing! read more

Our waitress was very attentive and it seemed like she was swamped. The food was just a typical franchise diner fare trying to be like Claim Jumper. I had a BLT, the bacon was burnt in spots and not cooked enough in others. My husband had the Jack melt and the meat look like packaged lunch meat. and his onion rings were soggy, but my french fries were good. read more

I've eaten here 4 times. 3 of those times my utensils were dirty. Only reason I went back was to appease someone's love of liver and onions. read more
