For our second night in Ogden, the group was craving steaks and seafood, so we journeyed to the Timbermine. The Timbermine is as you would expect from a place with such a name: a rustic steakhouse, nestled just beneath the mountains, with its walls and floors covered in an abundance of curiosities and trappings from the age of westward expansion and mining. Despite your initial reaction that such a place is probably a tourist trap, everyone in our group had a great time and enjoyed their food. I went with the Claim Steak and I thought the New York strip that was served was pretty solid and the price was reasonable. All in all, I think if you are going to make a visit to Ogden, journeying to the Timbermine makes for a unique and fun experience. read more

This place was old and in need of a upgrade. I had the the NY Strip and it was ok at best and salad didn't seem all that fresh either. It was kinda of disappointing because I really wanted to like this place. BUT the desert made the trip all worth wild, had the mud pie and it was one of the best things I have eaten. So I may go back for a desert and give dinner another chance. read more

Party of four on Friday night at 9:00. They close at 10:00. We were completely aware of the time and were going to order, eat and be gone. We were made to wait for a table... there were 3 waitresses / hostesses going over the evenings checks at the hostess station which made us feel like we weren't important and we're actually bothering them right from the beginning. The place is super cute! Totally like you're stepping into a mine. If that's what you are in to this is definitely your ticket. I ordered the small filet mignon which was supposed to be wrapped in bacon and I asked for it to be rare. I always order my steaks rare and was very clear. It came out medium but given the time crunch and the fact that we were given bread, salads and appetizer within 10 seconds of each other, I decided not to mention it. Having appetizers come out quickly is typically fine but this made us feel rushed and again like we were putting people out. My potato was not baked, it was straight up raw. I didn't want to be a complainer so I decided I would take it with me and pop it in the microwave when I got back to my hotel room. Yes, that's right, I am literally sitting in my hotel room right now microwaving a baked potato that I paid $25 for. YAY ME!!! I actually grew up in Utah but have lived in Arizona since 1994 so I had forgotten how folks up here can be. Perhaps it was the fact that I ordered a glass of wine with dinner that I should deserve sub par treatment... Or maybe it was just my audacity to show up an hour before close that was frowned upon... who knows, who cares. Next time I come up to visit family I'll check out another overpriced tourist trap. Won't ever be back. pass pass pass... read more

Great family dinner. Clarissa was amazing and did a great job taking care of our family. Will definently be taking the family back. Thank you, for a great night. read more

The restaurant has fun décor. We went on a Saturday night and had to wait for quite a while to get a table. Plenty of time to look around at everything. We were finally seated and they brought us some bread. I love bread but this bread was not good -- nothing special. We ordered our food -- I had The Gold Rush, a bacon wrapped filet mignon with baked potato. This is something I usually love but the meat just didn't have great flavor. No option to get a fully loaded baked potato -- just butter and sour cream. We just didn't think the food was very good at all. Our server seemed new and eager to please but maybe tried a little too hard and could have not interrupted us quite so much. Just okay for us. read more

Trapped in Ogden with nothing to do, my coworkers and I gave this place a try after a local's recommendation. First impression of this place is that it could be used as a location to film a horror movie. The kind that has the inbred family who stalk and kill coeds with chainsaws. It's creepy. Real creepy. The place was dark, filled with stuffed animals and stuffed with the kind of crap you see filling antique stores' dumpsters. Picture an old bathtub, filled with Christmas lights and pez dispensers. Now picture it with a pane of glass over the top, turning it into a table. Now picture several others similar to it, all filling up a waiting area. Classy. We were eventually seated, which involved following the hostess down some dark "mine" passages to a table. The five of us had a seat and waited for whatever was coming next. Hopefully, it wasn't directed by Rob Zombie. The bartender showed up and we ordered some beers. The beer selection was good, with lots of local brews and a few of the mainstays you would expect. Of course, it was all just 3.2% alcohol. Thank you, Utah. A waitress appeared and we got some appetizers going. Fried mushrooms and calamari sticks. Neither was especially good but came with some good dipping sauces. The calamari sticks weren't really much different than a fish stick. God, I hate those. I decided to go big, with a rib eye steak cooked medium rare. It arrived two beers and a few mushrooms later. I took a few bites and realized that it was overdone, cooked to medium, with no red at all. I inform the waitress, who indignantly exclaims to me that my steak was a "perfect medium rare." After a bit of discussion, she eventually tells me that she is bringing out the cook and I can explain it to him... then she disappears. And I wait. And wait. My coworkers were nearly finished with their meals when the "cook" arrives. And by "cook" I mean "a new steak." I cut into it, and it's BLUE RARE. Jesus. This isn't rocket surgery. She takes it back and returns later with a perfect medium rare steak. Yay. Teamwork! I skipped dessert and paid my bill, which came to something outrageous. I was able to navigate my way out without getting dressed and skinned, leading to the best part of my dinner at the Timber Mine: walking out the door. I'll not be returning. read more

I thought this was a decent steak dinner till our server came out with a doggie bag wrapped inside out over her hand. Then she reached down, grabbed my leftovers with her hand, and then pulled the bag right-side-out. Then she hands it to me like Fido's unpleasant business. After several visits the average-to-slightly-above-average quality beef -- never blessed with a good vegetable or salad on the side -- has never been good enough to overcome the mental image of those doggie poop leftovers from my first meal here. read more

Ogden's second best kept secret. We ended up here for dinner one night and wow were we surprised. When we got there the setting reminded me of a steak house that has just given up and stopped trying. We were wrong. not only do they try but they pull it off very well. The staff is very attentive and they try to meet every need you have. Now onto the food. I ordered the 32oz porterhouse. I'm not sure it was a steak....the size of it was insane. I think they chopped off the horns and put the whole damn cow on my plate it was massive. It was cooked to medium rare like I ordered and it was done very well. You mix a MASSIVE steak with a comfy ambiance and a fast staff, you end up with a nice steak house that keeps bringing people back time after time. read more

Out of the ordinary atmosphere. Something different. Western miner theme. Country music plays in the background. customer service is excellent! Anything fried in their homemade batter seems to be absolutely divine and totally tasty. Free mudslide dessert on your birthday! Great food. Good atmosphere.

This is our first time here! I love the rustic feel of actually a mine door and the underground feel as you sit to eat in a private booth. The shotcreet on the ceiling is an awesome touch not lost on me! I've spent some time underground in mines! The wait was not long on a Wednesday night, it was not crowded at all. THE HOSTESS AND SERVER NEED TO NOT FIGHT IN A PUBLIC AREA!!!! This display of unusual emotional outburst was not what we went to dinner for! The food was good The steaks were ok !!! Not marvelous! I've had better flavored steaks at local Texas Roadhouse for 1/4 the price! The calamari was awesome! Along with the deep fried mozzarella sticks. Salads could use something extra, kinda lettuce only! (Tomato's, large croutons, cheese, sunflower nuts anything) I ordered the fried scrimp they came Heavy Battered and the battering had no flavor??? Maybe beer batter ???? Add a bit of flavor to the batter! It was a nice night good food not exceptional but good 4/5 or 8/10. Again, management needs to do something about the fighting employees l! Also, the atmosphere calls for appropriate dress of the employees.... mining dress is easy and cheap! read more

I've been looking for a good local steakhouse.. and still haven't found one. If you're a steak lover and know what a good steak is supposed to taste like, do not come here. Texas Roadhouse and Chili's has better steaks!!! No joke! I should have known it was going to be garbage as soon as they handed me the salad. Amazing building, but that's it.. will never be back. read more

I love the Timbermine. Everything from the odd decorations, the ambient and cozy mine shaft seating, and their incredible food is something no one else can out do. This is my third visit in 2 years. Wish we could dine here more often but it is a little pricey. But it is totally worth every penny. We went last night and can't wait for our next visit. We came at 7 and was greeted by a nice girl and seated immediately. We started with the shrimp cocktail. It was 6 large shrimp on a bed of ice and a small cup of cocktail sauce. We liked it. I always enjoy shrimp and dip. We also got a half order of fried mushrooms because the phrase "too much food" didn't exist at the moment. A half order was a massive pile of golden ohhh yeahs! It could have filled a 747. A filing cabinet. A 10 gallon hat. A pillow case...whatever units of measurement you prefer, it doesn't matter. It was a metric buttload. They were pretty good. My husband liked them more than me, but I still ate some. For my main grinz I had the 10oz prime rib. It was the BEST I've ever had from anywhere. Better than Maddox, in which for years, we would brave the crowd and twiddle our thumbs in a 2 hour wait just for a taste. Sitting in an ER waiting room for bad news is less stressful. Timbermine put them to shame IMO. Anywho, I had it cooked medium. It was perfect! Juicy, hot, and tender beyond any tender out there. It was the epitome of melt-in-your-mouth. I had the baked potato to keep my steak company. The potato was about as exciting as, well...a potato. But I still enjoyed what I could eat of it. I was pretty full, quickly and didn't finish it. It came with a salad and I asked for ranch. I'm picky with my salads, and it passed my test. Cold, crispy, no brown edges on any leaf, VERY good ranch (on the side) and flavorful, non-stale croutons that didn't shred the roof of my mouth. My husband was planning on ending world hunger with one plate, so he ordered the 32oz. Porterhouse. Holy smokes that thing was huge AND delicious! He ordered it meat-yum well. It was cooked exactly how he likes it. He got fries to go with it. He said, "They were really good and really hot." He says he will definitely get it again! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Every interaction I had with an employee was pleasant. They were all nice and polite. This is a definite YES! This is a great place for a dinner date. With a twist of a knob, the lights in the booths can dim for romance. Turn the other way and you can brighten it up for a suspect interrogation. Go to Timbermine! read more

The staff is great! The bartender and waitresses put up with a lot of craziness with our large group on vacation! The decorations are weird... but cool! I had the 8oz Gold Rush "The Tenderest Steak in the Mine" which was a bacon wrapped tenderloin: The steak was one of the bests I have had in a while. I.. Very tender, great flavor! The salad was meh... Nothing special, kind looked like they grabbed a hand full out of the pre-cut bag. They also don't have cheese for the potato.. which is strange. All and all, the steaks are good and worth trying! read more

Didn't have a lot of options to choose from. Expensive. Was kinda dark in the restaurant

after a long bike ride and a soak in the hot springs my friend and i were ready to devour some greasy food. Being ravenous and on the Ogden river parkway with nothing around we decided to give this place a try. Sure it looked a little abandoned and as soon as we stepped in we felt like we may or may not be murdered any moment but there was greasy food on the menu so we were in. With approximately 15 bucks between us (we were on a bike ride in just our swimsuits and dresses after all) we decided to order some appetizers and a dessert to power food up for the rest of the trip. After waiting for only a moment and being hypnotized by a pez table we were seated in a dark room with a lumber jack mannequin and trickling stream. We ordered are appetizers - some fried mushrooms and fries - and our dessert- pralines and ice cream which both came out promptly. They gave us a generous amount of french bread (store made i am assuming) which was nothing special but came with awesome fluffy butter. The friend mushrooms were superb and salty and the fried were fries. The icecream however with its fancy name and description did not live up to expectation and instead tasted like overly sweet cheap boxed icecream and was inedible. We were starving but just couldn't eat it. Overall the service was great and the place was hilarious to look around. i cant imagine spending 30 for an entree here but their drinks are pretty cheap. ill probably be back again just so i can see the look on my husbands face when he sees what i got him into. read more

I give the food 3 stars and the atmosphere 4. My halibut was dry. The salad and roll were delicious. My apple pie was made to go even though I asked to eat it there...it was frozen. I think I may have ordered the wrong things. read more

Went to the Timbermine at the age of 75. The wife and I are small eaters and asked to share a meal. The waitress brought us an additional plate and charged us $8.00. She then added tax to the $8.00 and expected a tip on the $8.00. So, so food. Not impressed. We haven't been back. read more

Weird place... food was okay with our holiday party. Honestly they didn't seem to handle groups well, which is weird since they seem set up specifically for that. It took me the whole meal to get a beer so I just had it for desert. read more

Not what it use to be, so sad. No flavor in the steaks at all. This is the third time in a row we have had this same experience and our last. The wait staff and atmosphere are great the food has just fallen off. read more

I would love to give this place a great rating being that it's one of the last old school locally owned restaurants in Ogden. But unfortunately the food is lacking. Plus, I believe they cook their steaks with margarine and/or vegetable oils rather than real butter. Probably for money saving reasons. Which if you know is a terrible choice. If you've ever left here feeling sick to your stomach, that's why. If anybody knows for sure let me know in a reply. This time will be my last time eating at this establishment. Sorry Timbermine. read more

It's ok. Fun decor. Decorated bathtubs are all over the waiting area. There are so many fun things on the walls, there is no way to see it all on your way to your table. Definitely call ahead. There were tons of people waiting and we just walked right by. Highlights were the stuffed mushrooms. Service was good. I ordered the filet mignon (or tenderloin, but pretty much the same thing). I always order that whenever I can. I always order it medium well. I realize meat gets tough the longer you cook it, but like I stated, I always order that cut of meat and I always order it medium well. I expected a steak house to get it right. It was by far the worst steak I think I ever had. I mentioned it to the server and she didn't really offer any solution for me. And, she expected me to pay for it. I had eaten two bites. Most of the steak was still on the plate. In fact, I sat there waiting while the rest of the party continued eating. I asked for the chicken breast. By the time it came, the others were all done. My point is, I wasn't trying to cheat you out of a meal. It really was bad. I stopped eating it immediately. Fortunately, she didn't end up charging me, but it's always awkward when you have to have that discussion in front of 15 other people at your table. Will I go back? Sure. I'll just be sure to only take one bite this time. Little tidbit: A few days later I was at Golden Corral in Layton on their steak night. That steak was a million times better. read more

I got the gold rush (filet wrapped in bacon). It was not as lean as expected. The 16 oz and split dinner option was plenty of food for 2. It was mediocre. Fun atmosphere Bread, salad and steak were all just ok. read more

My wife and I flew out in June to see some friends and relatives. Our first stop was Ogden, and we brought a good friend here. One of our daughters had had her wedding reception here a few years ago, and it was terrific. We kinda went for the gusto; my wife ordered filet mignon and lobster, our friend ordered a massive T-bone, and I went for the prime rib. We all were in heaven, from the appetizer to the salads, and on through the main course. Perfectly done food in every case, and we definitely want to come back the next time we're in the area. read more

AMAZING! Food was great and the wait staff did an excellent job at taking care of our table for the duration of the evening. Highly recommended for any occupation! read more

As I sit in the Wendy's parking lot, eating a cheeseburger, let me lay out a few key details from my dining experience at Timbermine on 12/27/2019. 1) Came in with family (party of 9) around 5:15ish to celebrate a birthday. Was seated within a few minutes, satisfactory. 2) Ordered a bacon wrapped filet to split with mom, medium rare. 3) Steak arrives with a "medium" marker in it (as does others in our party, and a "medium well" in a steak that was ordered medium), was told sometimes the cooks grab the wrong stick 4) Checked steak, it was medium. Sends it back, along with my fries (they were soaked in steak juice). 5) Re-made steak arrives, a little less medium, and one piece is 75% fat, with a different type of French fry (would've preferred first kind). Majority of party is done eating at this point, not going to send back a third time, for timing and spit risk factors. 6) We are told Manager can not speak to us (?!?!?) but server questions if steak should be removed from bill bc part of it was eaten (....ya we were hungry, but it was not what we ordered, twice!) 7) $10 is charged for split sides, wow, thank goodness they were paid for that salad and baked potato. 7) Offered dessert for birthday, would rather have steak but we've covered that. 8) Thank goodness for this cheeseburger at Wendy's. Get it together Timbermine. read more

I've been going to the Timbermine for years, and it is absolutely fantastic. It's literally the only place where you can order a rare steak, and get a rare steak. They are famous for their decor and for good reason. Best part is the majority of the seating is private booths! Excellent steakhouse. Fun bar area! Always a total blast. Love you guys! read more

I have been coming to the timber mine since I was little, and my family has gone even before that. We were introduced to it by my grandmother, and since then we have loved it for most every special occasion. I have always had excellent service, from waiters and waitresses that love people and talking with them, they were polite but not overbearing. My family are friends with the owner, and she's always given us a good experience as well. This last time I came during the epidemic, it was still delicious. I highly recommend it, my father has traveled the world eating steaks, and has seldom found a better one then here. My personal favorite is the fried mushrooms side, it is just so delicious, even if it might be ok the unhealthy side ;). The decor is just the cherry on top, you don't find many restaurants with so much detail anymore. Once again, highly recommended for all ages. read more

Went there last week on vacation. The location and decor are amazing! Absolutely loved it. We were seated quickly and service was great. I had the filet Mignon. It was a large steak. Ordered it medium and it was more medium rare. Not as flavorable As I'd prefer but it was good. The bread was good, salads great. My husband got the gigantic porterhouse. It was a little rarer than he'd have liked & he rated it as "okay but not great". read more

I was craving red meat so my wife suggested Timbermine Steakhouse. This was my first time here. We entered through a door that appeared to be the entrance to an old mine. Walking into the lobby we were greeted by an old west mining atmosphere and a couple of cheerful hostesses. We were seated after about five minutes. The waitress was attentive and answered all my questions about the menu. My wife and I both ordered prime rib medium rare. We had the fried mushroom appetizer followed by a tasty dinner salad. Our entrees arrived piping hot and the prime rib was cooked perfectly; it was tender, juicy and flavorful. I am so pleased to find a restaurant that knows how to do prime rib. I have been back a second time and the food was once again exceptional. If you like prime rib you need to check Timbermine out. read more

Came here with the in-laws because they like the atmosphere. No wifi for customers (strike one) Bread tasted stale and not fresh ordered an 8 oz filet medium, received a mooing cow on my plate (seriously bleeding all over into my potato) Strike two Sent the steak back for more time on the grill and came back medium rare, so pink it was almost raw still priced roughly at 25 per person for food that was mediocre and not cooked correctly (strike three) If you want to pay for a good steak, take your business to Maddox, they always deliver for the price you pay. Not going back. read more

Way over priced for the quality of food. I ordered the 10 oz Ribeye and tasted my friend's 16 oz Filet. I would choose outback over this place. Or buy a steak at Costco and grill it at home. I might be a bit of a steak snob. I compare everything too Flemming's and Ruths Chris. That said, I would still go to Outback before I went back here. This was a $12 steak for $28. read more

Pros: Excellent steak! My husband got the filet (get the 16 oz) and for once, didn't request steak sauce. It was cooked medium to perfection, and was very tender and well-seasoned. I had the shrimp scampi, which was also delicious and the baby lima beans as a side were surprisingly delicious. They also have lots of seating and interesting things to look at. Cons: The only disappointment was that the french bread was not warm, and seemed to be the same stuff you get at the grocery store for $1 a loaf. But that's really such a small part of the meal. As for it being pricey... well, you get what you pay for. Dinner for 2 cost us between $50-$60 without alcohol or dessert, but we spent about the same at Outback and the meal wasn't as good. read more

The service was great and the prime rib was excellent. It was juicy, tender, and flavorful! Our server was attentive, kept the drinks filled, quick with any needs. We got a free order of the fried mushrooms with the yelp check in so that was good, it was a large order too. The price was very reasonable for the amount of food you got. All meals start off with bread and all entrees include a salad. read more

Why haven't I been here before? I love a great steak but find most restaurants that claim to specialize in steak to be very expensive and not worth the price. Not so here. My ribeye was perfectly cooked to medium, juicy and delicious. The broccoli side was also perfectly cooked. My husband's prime rib was excellent. Don't forget to start with the deep fried mushrooms. I didn't think they sounded good but they were recommended. Once I started, I was pretty sure I could eat my body weight in fried mushrooms. Just save room for the steak. They have a full bar where you can sit and have a cocktail while waiting for your table or your friends. The staff is friendly and they keep your glass filled. This is our new favorite place when only a great steak will do. read more

Back in UT for another event and back to the Timber Mine for dinner. This place isn't exactly what you would call "fine dining" but they do make a DAMN good steak. Timber Mine gets 40 of 50 Fussy Fusspot Points... and 4 stars --- Clean table and dishes? 5 of 5 points. Yes, everything was clean. Clean server? 5 of 5 points. Clean, and friendly too. Clean bathroom? 15 of 15 points. Surprise! Yes, very clean. Subtotal = A perfect 15 of 15 Fussy Points on the Clean Scale! Service? 5 of 5 points. Quite prompt. Ambiance? 4 of 5 points. A little bit Disney-esque with the "Old Mine" theme. Almost expect to see the Country Bear Jamboree musical revue show up. But after a few minutes you don't notice that anymore and once your steak arrives you won't care if you are in an old mine or not. Friends from Finland Practical Scale? 4 of 5 points. Quite practical - large rooms, big parking lot, a little bit difficult to find if you don't know where you are going. Food? 6 of 10 points. Mixed green salad with dressing - ordinary; Baked Potato - about the same as you would get anywhere, Steak - FANTASTIC. The reason to go there is to have a Steak. It was cooked exactly the way I ordered it and tasted great. Price/Food ratio? 5 of 5 points. Quite reasonable price for the amount of food. Bonus? 1 bonus point. Steak wrapped in Bacon. That's worth a bonus point right there! Total: 40 Fussy Fusspot Points. read more
