I'm a fan of the food and some of the staff,but I have read the reviews here and the one I read from stela was excately right on.So I went in on Wed the 24th of April everything was great I think the exact staff was there,I went with my wife today on Thursday the same staff I think but I will say I had to leave the salad bar 3 times because I counld not stand the way the owner was talking to the lady in the black shirt.I was so mad I wanted to run my truck off a cliff I can not imagine how she was feeling,my god tears and everything.And what made me mad was (we were watching)everytime she would try and speak he would put his arms up in the air and say let me finish and he never finished.He has no respect at all for woman,if hes married poor wife,poor mother and poor aunts,ect.It was almost like he was trying to convince her it was flat his way,well I know he was cuz he said I make the ulitmate decision,thats how I know it was the owner.So I will say,she has had no training because if this were the guy to train,the way he talks shes screwed.And when you see this whom ever you are,it doesnt make it ok to take her in the back of the store and harrass her. read more

I ate at a Lumberjacks a little over a year ago having breakfast. This time around I decided to take my family to dinner. I like big proportions believe me I hike and adventure all day long so its nice to have a big hot meal at the end of a hard earned day. For dinner I had their pot roast it was good but man for $14 dollars they should have given me more it just was not simply enough. They also hardly gave me and veggies its as if they run out gave me the bottom of the barrel. I often do allot of good eats on my journeys then I review them and feel that there are more affordable places whom might give you a bit more. But overall the food was really good we had a big sampler plate of appetizers, homemade loafs of hot bread and the clam chowder was dynamite. But it seemed like my family including my plate just lacked meat. On average most plates will cost you around 15 dollars which technically you could eat almost at a fancy restaurant elsewhere for that amount just something to keep in mind. The food here is like home cooking so they get five stars in that department. I do recommend eating here but I also want others to know what to expect if you do. My bill came out to 70 dollars for my son, girlfriend and me so meh! I also had three different food servers I did order hot coffee it seemed like nobody would ever bring me any cream or sugar. As important as the food is for me anywhere so is the hot coffee after hiking around all day in the mountains! I would have ordered pie but six dollars a slice come on I could go to the store almost pie an entire pie for that much come on now! I live up by Carson Tahoe region most I pay for any pie no matter how big or small it is is four so yeah prices here are a bit spendy for food you really could get just about anywhere! read more

Ordered a burger well done. Took a bite out of the burger, and it was pink. Asked them to remake me the burger well done like I had ordered. Burger came back well done, but still had my original bite out of it! So they put the burger back on the grill after someone had taken a bite.. Amazing. read more

Stopped by for an evening meal when we got snowed in when Highway 20 was closed a few weeks ago. All 3 of us really liked the different meals we got and the service was good too. We liked it enough to go out of our way (an hour and a half drive one way) to meet up with others on a Saturday night. We had a group of about a dozen people. Our waiter was excellent; well above average! Each of us enjoyed our food; and most of us ordered something different. No problem on getting refills on tea, soft drinks, water, and coffee. We had school age kids, young adults, older adults, and senior citizens. Nothing but compliments from each individual in our group. By the way, Anthony was our waiter. Very attentive and prompt with our orders, and no mistakes made. Other helpful employees assisted also. read more

I've been to Lumberjacks twice. The first time I had their 1/4 lb burger which came with potato salad and I ordered a one trip to the salad bar. I would have liked to weighed the meat because I don't think it was 1/4lb. The meat was pretty tasteless but the burger had a nice portion of lettuce, tomato and pickle on it. I didn't like the potato salad as it was to sour for me, dill pickles I think. My next trip I tried the 12 oz rib eye steak dinner the came with a baked potato, one trip to the salad bar, and had onion and mushrooms on top of the steak. I believe it cost $12.99. The meat was pretty tasteless, over cooked and very thin. I guess the thinner to meat spreads it out and makes it look like you are getting a larger steak. Their were lots of onions and few mushrooms. The baked potato could have been cooked longer. A nice little loaf of bread came with the dinner and was very good. The salad bar is okay and the dressing was good. My son ordered the largest burger. It was huge but he said the meat didn't have any flavor and the the bread/bun was smashed flat. His sweet potato fries were good as were my granddaughter's regular fries. The portions were large on the fries. I would have preferred less on the size and better tasting food. I won't order another steak if I go back but will give their breakfast a try. Both times that I have been their the service was very good and I didn't have a long wait. I give the service a 5 star. read more

The kitchen manager Aaron is a absolute professional. The kitchen was absolutely clean which is a priority for me. The fun, courteous service was a wonderful addition to our great experience! read more

Good value. Wife and I split the 16oz prime rib and it was more than enough.

LOVED IT! The food was great and the staff was very friendly. YUMMMM!!

We've eaten at Lumberjacks, Grass Valley, on a number of occasions for a light breakfast or a quick lunch. We swore we would NOT come back after having cold, watery oatmeal. But, we did. We swore we would NOT come back after having a bowl of tasteless soup. Last night, since we were running a little late, and close by; three of us went there for dinner. We all had entirely different choices of food. #1. Fish and Chips included the salad bar, The batter was overcooked, dark and tasteless. The fish was cooked from frozen and in turn ended up watery, cool and tasteless. Although it was past 6PM, salad at the salad bar was looking mighty sad. #2. Basil Chicken and Broccoli soup. The chicken, although plentiful, was less than average. The soup, well, was a thick white sauce with a dash of broccoli and a smaller dash of cheese. #3. Bowl of Chili including the salad bar. No comment given from the third party, except most of it went home in a doggie bag. She didn't eat her salad. . . The truth of the matter is; the real 'lure' to go there at all, was for the fresh squeezed OJ machine. Which we really enjoyed. Apparently, the machine was removed. Our waitress stated it kept breaking down, and they will no longer offer this on the menu, nor plan to have it in the future. For us, although we are supportive of Grass Valley establishments, there is no plan to ever go back here. read more

Good service. Had the chicken fried steak dinner, Great gravy, the steak is alright, nothing spectacular. This place just went through a management change so we will see. read more

A group of us old people, (youngest was 71) came in yesterday night for a birthday dinner. Some of us have dimensia, and couldn't remember what we had ordered. After our waiter, Jacob, got that sorted out, we realized that Pat had ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, but had meant to order the Chicken fried chicken. Our waiter, was great and got a Chicken Fried Chicken for us within minutes, and he took the steak off the bill,even though it was our mistake. The food was good,and the service was excellent. The incredible service was the reason for 2 of the stars. We will definitely be back next time we eat out. read more

Greeted by a black dirty greasy sidewalk at the entry. Passed due for a good pressure washing. Didn't appreciate the flies while eating... Order was taken quickly but a bit slow arriving. Food was hot on arrival. Waitress was talking with a patron she knew ( I hope) and was relating stories of her canker sores loud enough for most people nearby to hear... and I have one bad ear.... Did appreciate the use of their Wifi... read more

Recent went to this restaurant after eating at the Lumberjacks in Sacramento. There was a sign that said new management special so we figured we would give it a try. We walked in and were greeted by a host who sat us down. We noticed the restaurant to be empty and not so clean. We waited 15 minutes for a waitress who got us a drink order. She seemed to be in a rush as they seemed short staff. After we got our drinks we quickly placed our order. After that, we had no one stop by to refill our drinks or check on us for about forty minutes. At that time our food came out. We finally got a refill, but then our server disappeared again. After about an hour and a half with only 6 tables in the restaurant full, we paid our check and left. We would strongly suggest the restaurant retains more employees during normal lunch and dinner hours. read more

I ordered a Cobb salad. It was very good. Had "real" hot bacon. Not bacon bits. I would go back again.

My friend and I went in to have some breakfast and when we were done the lady asked if we wanted our food boxed up and we replied with a resounding yes well this lady dumped out food and didn't have any remorse for it. I mean seriously I hardly ate my food and wanted to save it for later. Won't go back again read more

I wish I could give zero stars! I'm still nauseated thinking about my dinner I had two nights ago! I'm so upset that I had to pay for the disgusting meal!! I got the shaved prime rib sandwich and my husband got the phillie cheesesteak sandwich. Honestly, we couldn't tell who's was who's when the food arrived. They looked exactly the same other than mine cost $4 more!!! His didn't come out with the bell peppers and onions on it! We were both so hungry by this point, we just went with it!! The meat was not even close to what the picture looked like on the menu. They must have been trying to sell the stuff that was about to spoil! My husband was so sick yesterday, he had to leave work early with gut wrenching pain. This was our first time trying out this restaurant and will definitely be the last!! Don't even waste your time and money going to this restaurant. Denny's is 100x's better if that tells you anything. You have been warned!!!! read more

food was a typical dennys type place, service was s-l-o-o-o-o-ow! i will never go there agian. but food was as good as i expected.

My wife and I ate there or should I say we tried to Dec. 31st for breakfast. We were seated right away that is the only thing that went right! We ordered 10 minutes later then we had quality time talking while we waited for 35 minutes to receive our food. From my seat in the booth I could see the meals were being stacked and racked by the cooks and there they sat! I told my wife to expect our food to be cold when we got it. We asked our waitress what the deal was she said "they are still cooking the sausage patty", I said the patty must be damn thick as it had been at least 30 minutes on the grill, she did not get it. Bottom line our food came to us cold my wifes pouched egg was like rubber it bounced of the floor. We complained to the manager and went right aroung the corner to Penny's. Should have gone there in the first place, they are local family owned and they take pride in what they serve. STAY AWAY FROM LUMBERJACK'S read more

just like other lumberjacks, large portions of food and large coffee cups. prices are reasonable, sometimes food does take long, small pie/cake selection. read more
