Lumberjack Steakhouse Lodge - Hayward

We waited 15 mins for our sodas and we went to the bar to get them. I order a cocktail, never was asked if I wanted another one. The wait staff was very cold and short. Asked for mashed potatoes and my steak be medium well. It came out very pink and theygave me a baked potato and told me I didn't need to eat it and they are out of mashed potatoes. Our server didn't come to see ifour dinner was ok. The restaurant wasn't busy when we came in at 7:15. We didn't get our food till 8:40

Fantastic food! We stopped here on our way through town, and it did not disappoint! Great service that was fast, and the food was so good! Specifically, the croutons on the salad had more taste than any other and I loved it!

Sadly this will be the last time eating at the steakhouse. Stopped in to try one last time to give it a chance. $50 dollars later I could have stayed home and ate. Soup= actually nice Bread= solid as a rock Brisket nachos= for a $16 app, wasn't even hot. brisket was this dry cold chewy pieces cut into strips instead of cut up for bite size pieces. almost no cheese. about 10 black olives. an 1/16 of an onion. good amount of jalapenos and two cups of salsa. oh and 3/4 of a pound of stale chips. Fish Fry= barely hot even though it was just fried, tasted like last weeks. no flavor, soggy, undercooked. Baked fish was like it was cooked at noon thrown in a pan and served out of that. dry dry dry. Baked potato was definitely from last week not hot, dry, and again not even cooked. Salad= well lettuce with dressing. Molten lava cake= again I know its not homemade but not hot. doused in chocolate Hershey's. Service= hey they tried, maybe they knew the food sucked. If the cooks actually spent more time in the kitchen instead of walking around staring at guest and going outside to smoke the food might actually be edible. 4 other tables in the restaurant. so no rush!! Good luck in the future. If you'd like a lesson in cooking or hospitality please reach out. [hidden email]

I'd probably give the Steakhouse a 3.5 for the Friday night fish fry. Good price for all-you-can-eat. The tartar sauce didn't have tang, but it's kind of optional for me anyway. Fish was pretty decent, certainly better than what I've had at Angler's. I came later on a Friday evening and they couldn't guarantee if they still had fish left but it was no problem during LWC for me.

Went here for New Years Eve 2022 dinner with family. We had a reservation for 6:30 PM. Arrived at 6 so we had a couple drinks in the bar before. Excellent Old Fashion. We were seated promptly at 6:30. The restaurant was maybe 1/2 full. Waited half an hour before we even saw our waiter. We all ordered an appetizer and. Soup or salad. We all also order the same NY Strip. One hour later our soups salads arrived. Didn't get our appetizer for another 45 minutes, but only after we asked where it was. Never had anyone clearing off our table till we stopped a bus person. As the clock approached 9 PM we still hadn't seen our main meal. Not used to waiting 2 1/2 hours for food. To add insult to injury there were several tables seated over an hour after we were there that were all served before us. We paid for what we ate left. While they did offer to comp our meal, who expects to wait that long to eat? Not acceptable to us. I don't blame our waiter as we could see he was constantly moving. I do blame who ever was responsible for managing that restaurant. Someone should have making sure the bus people were circulating clearing table instead of standing in the corner. Someone should have been checking and seeing how every tables order was progressing. This is a white tablecloth restaurant, not a Dennys so you'd expect an appropriate level of service. Not too likely to try eating there ever again.
