    Breakfast menu

    Ahhh, The Lumberjack, a Windsor staple. This place has been open for as long as I can remember. I remember coming here as a kid. Yesterday morning I came for breakfast with my boyfriend and his friend. We needed a breakfast place to eat and this is the first place that came to mind. I remember coming to breakfast here years ago before I moved away. It definitely felt nostalgic coming back. We came for breakfast and I ordered the Scottish breakfast, which was eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and home fries with onions, they ask you if you'd like them with or without the onions. My boyfriend ordered the BLT, no mayo, yellow mustard instead with home fries, breakfast sausage and it came with coleslaw which no one ate. My boyfriends friend ordered the eggs Benedict. Our meals came out in good time and the food was actually really good. I enjoyed the smoked salmon and eggs, maybe a bit too much holondaise sauce, but otherwise very good. The home fries were flavoured perfectly and tasted great, my boyfriend and his friend also enjoyed their meals. Our waitress looked as if she didn't want to be there, not much enthusiasm on her part, but we got what we ordered and the experience was good.

    Came here for brunch at 11 am on a Thursday. Was happy to see lots of empty tables when I entered because I thought this would mean fast service. It did not. The server was clearly overwhelmed completely rushing through taking our order when she finally did take our order. Definitely do not order a steak from here, you will be disappointed. The home fries were very soggy. The toast only had butter on one of the two sides, the kitchen was sure to give a sloppy impression.

    I don't have much to say about this place but I'm going to pull something together... A friend brought me here and raved about the breakfast. Maybe I should have gotten something from the breakfast menu because I was very UNDERwhelmed. I started with French onion soup which was very bland and had the thickest layer of cheese EVER! My entree was the lamb chops. Also SUPER BLAND! They're called seasoned lamb chops but ironically they were the most tasteless chops I've ever had. The service was extremely slow! There was one guy serving and entire half of the restaurant on his own. Safe to say I'd never return. I gave them two stars because my friend actually enjoyed his breakfast.

    I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay..... My friend and I stopped in for breakfast one Sunday morning. I would say that the restaurant was half-full when we arrived. We were seated fairly quickly near the open grill. Drink service was quick as we perused the menu. The Lumberjack has a fairly extensive breakfast menu, which left us with a lot of choices. I went with the Timber Special which I could tell would be a fairly sizeable breakfast. It took about 15 minutes for our food to arrive and there was a ton of it. I was looking forward to the peameal because I've never had it before. I wasn't disappointed. It was a little on the salty side, but it was tasty. The rest of the breakfast was good. It didn't strike me as anything exceptional, but it was good. I think the pancakes would have been great if I would have gotten to them while they were hot. That's what I get for my devotion to eggs. The check came quickly and we paid and were on our way. The service was great and the server was kind enough to help us out with locating some Spitfires gear on a Sunday. If I'm ever up in the Detroit area, I would definitely head across the river (provided our friends at the border crossing are a little less uptight) again.

    I was invited here with some friends for supper the other night. It was my first time there and even though it was really busy, our waitress was nice and friendly. My friends enjoyed their food. Me on the otherhand, was not crazy about my Canadian Stir Fry dish. The waitress said it was her favourite thing on the entire menu so I was really looking forward to it. It had some chicken and cooked veggies on top of the pasta noodles with a white sauce. To me, it was pretty blah. Not a lot of seasoning/taste. I would not recommend it. I would go back again and just try something else.

    One egg (scrambled), sausages, two slices of toast, side order of home fries
    S L.

    Came here around 7:30 A.M. with my boyfriend (April 9). We're both students so we had class in an hour or so, and I really wanted some breakfast. He's been here many times for post-swim practice breakfast with his team and I've been here one other time for their battered white fish (It was a big piece of fish that was limp and tasted gross. I made myself finish a quarter of it before I called it quits). This particular morning, he ordered The Lumberjack special (the first morning menu option). Came with 2 slices toast (cut into triangles), 2 eggs (he had them sunny-side up), meat option (he chose sausages) and home fries. I had a one egg (scrambled), sausages, and a side order of home fries, and it came with toast. He liked his eggs and so did I. But it wasn't anything special, something you could make at home. He liked his sausages and so did I. Meat is juicy and packs a lot of flavour. He liked his toast but I didn't touch mine because I was kind of full already. Now, the home fries. They're made with garlic and seasoning which sounds fantastic but they're not really memorable. They taste okay. On a scale of O.K., 1 being 'okay I guess....wouldn't try it again though...' to 'OKAY! Yeah!', it was like a 4? I made potatoes the night before and they were WAY better than these. He noted that. I'd go to Elias on Ouellette (right by CIBC) for some awesome home fries. Service was good. Place had a few tables of four and five full (they open at 6 A.M.) so it was nice. Mostly truckers or construction workers. I would come here again to try other things on the menu but only because my friends give SUCH great reviews here so I'm trying to find something good. Would NOT come again just for the home fries.

    See all

As others have mentioned, seating is somewhat limited, but that only adds to the excellent service and intimate experience. I wish I remembered the names of our server and the manager because they were incredibly kind, accommodating, and helpful throughout the evening. One example of the thoughtful service: I was torn between two white wines, and since my partner ordered one of them, our server offered to bring a small sample of the other so I could compare and choose what I liked best. We also mentioned that we had never tried caviar before but didn't want to commit to a larger portion. They suggested a "bump" for $5 each, walked us through how to enjoy it properly (on the hand, letting it warm slightly), and made the experience feel fun and approachable. We were seated at the bar, which gave us the opportunity to chat more with the server and manager and watch the team prepare dishes for other tables. It genuinely felt like sitting at the chef's table. We both opted for the tasting menu, which changes from time to time, and we were very happy with the selection. We also added the lobster roll, and our server thoughtfully timed it so we could enjoy it alongside the warmer course. The meal began with two different oysters, one topped with caviar, giving us another chance to enjoy it. Next was the shrimp cocktail, which included wasabi--but not in an overpowering way. The flavor was present yet balanced, allowing everything else to shine. The escargot course was especially creative and delicious, paired with basil oil, pepper jelly, and hints of balsamic. While it might sound unusual, the flavors blended beautifully. I expected the pepper jelly to dominate, but it was surprisingly subtle. Next was the potato pavé served with a scallop. The textures were remarkably similar, and the scallop was cooked perfectly. The lobster roll was very good, though I personally found the bread a bit denser than I prefer--I usually like a more buttery, Texas-toast style--but my partner loved it. The turbot followed, accompanied by a chestnut beurre blanc that was incredibly silky and flavorful. It paired wonderfully with the king trumpet mushrooms, black truffle and the fish. The final tasting course was the petit fours: three small cakes--matcha, red velvet, and ginger molasses. They were slightly dense, but still a nice way to end the meal. We also added the house-made basil ice cream (because the basil oil earlier was so good), and that was an excellent decision. Although my birthday had been a few months earlier, once the staff heard we were using a birthday gift card, they surprised me with vanilla ice cream, sprinkles, and a candle--such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. They also treated us to a small glass of dessert wine. By the end of the night, we knew we had found our new favorite place to celebrate. The overall experience is absolutely worth the price point, and I only wish more places were like Mink. We can't wait to return.

    Just a fantastic dinner this evening with colleagues…read more Before the Detroit Pistons game, we got together for a nice, casual, seafood dinner as our own version of, "pregaming". Starting with the maître D, carried over to both the waitress and our table server, everyone was polite, courteous, and very attentive. Looking over the list of appetizers, we went with the calamari. About 10 minutes later, it showed up and as it turned out, the portion was good for the four of us. The calamari was not rubbery, but prepared exactly how you would want it. It has a bit of a kick to it, but not so much as to be overwhelming. Before the calamari they brought us a bread basket with four types of breads for us to dip into a bowl of delicious tasting sauce. Because this was a pregaming event, we had to include a cocktail with our dinner. Two of us went with a Woodford reserve old-fashion made to perfection. There's quite a few choices of entrées to choose from and being this is a seafood restaurant I went with the servers recommendation and chose the "Dover". As part of the experience, they fillet the fish right in front of you. A nice touch. The fish was out of this world good. Flaky white meat, with enough there to fill you up. Even with the filleting experience, they did miss a bone. But that happens. No problem. With a choice of sides I went with the steamed spinach. A rather small portion, but it was very good. For the price you would've expected more. Beautiful view of the water looking over towards Canada. If ever in town again, this is a place I would return to.
