    Fiesta Taco Plate
    Kevin M.

    Food was delicious, and the portions were huge. The spice level was varied and suitable for everyone's spice levels from mild to HOT Service was OK, I've seen alot of complaints in the reviews about the service, I didn't think it was as bad as others have said. I didn't have to wait on refills, and the table/check was brought in a timely manner.

    First visit to this restaurant and it didn't start well. Our server was very abrupt when he arrived asking what do you want to drink. We hadn't even looked at the menu let alone the drink menu. He just stood there waiting we both ordered margarita he then brought water followed by the drinks. I ordered the enchiladas and my wife the seafood enchiladas. They came with rice and beans. The enchiladas were very small one beef, one cheese, and one chicken with three different sauces they weren't great very small. My wife said her seafood crab was not real crab but that wasn't clear on the menu. You do get a large tray of chips and salsa which is good. All in all a very average but dismal dinner. We felt very rushed even though the place was mostly empty. Will we go back. Not sure at this point. We were so rushed I didn't even get a chance to get copies of the menu which is large just like the restaurant. Casual

    I really liked this place. We stopped in after a cheer competition. We were all starving, this place was just what we needed. All the food was really good, the hamburger was as big as my daughter's face. I don't know if it was really bigger than any other burger but it seemed big when she picked it up. Kids chicken was good, there was live entertainment with a "country" singer. It was all very entertaining and good food. They chips and salsa were awesome. If we lived closer this place would definitely be a regular for us. They had some kind of lunch taco bar, I don't remember the details of when they do it but I bet that's good and the price was a good deal (I don't remember how much they said it was but it was a good deal for what it offers). Next time we're in the Ogden area I'd like to go back.

    Molcajete Ranchero

    Love this place for their molcajetes! My favorite is the Molcajete Supreme and the ranchero one (pictured) is also very good! I try to follow an animal based diet and this is a nice change from burger patties. My husband loves their chips and salsa and shrimp cocktail. The booths and atmosphere are comfortable and the service is always pretty good.

    Read the reviews and decided to give El Paisa a try. We were not disappointed. Service was friendly, welcoming. Complimentary chips and salsa. We started with queso fondido, was served hot with side of roasted onions and jalapeño. This was a melty cheesy ooey gooey deliousness!! Must try. We had the chicken burrito supreme covered with green sauce. This burrito is Huge! Full of juicy, tender chicken with guacamole and tomato. Taco birra parrilla was soooo tender and the delicious au jus.. Perfect! Taco platter with asada, carnitas, pastor all meats were tender and melt in your mouth. The servings on all meals are huge, served hot. Diana was our server- she was so friendly. We will back back to try their taco bar!!

    Mini all you can eat tacos

    Great buffet! I love the Mexican vibes in this place and the cantina. I went in during their lunch buffet (M-F 11a-2pm). Unlimited tacos w beans and rice. I came by myself, but I saw others come in alone for the buffet as well! The tacos were mini sized, and I appreciate that! It gives me room to try all of them. I personally did not like chicken Chipotle. I mean, maybe others are into it. Try it and let me know your thoughts! Hahaha! The service was great! As soon as I arrived I headed straight to the tacos, when I came back my drink and salsa w chips was already at my table. When you go to the taco bar, you are greeted by two people. They ask how many tacos, they warm up your Tortillas and then you have a variety of taco meats to choose from, which they kindly dish up for you, then they offer you a plate of beans and rice. I only took them up on it once bc I wanted to make room for tacos. It was delicious, and I would recommend it to everyone! I had 10 tacos, I would've prob ate 2 more or another serving of beans and rice, but I had an upcoming appt and had to rush out. Thoroughly enjoyed this place!

    The biggest Chimmi I've ever seen. This is the first time here and a salad to boot! Sweet.

    As a seafood lover and a bit adventurous, I've always been curious about this restaurant and their…read moreseafood boil (fish in a bag), but couldn't really justify the funds to try it. Well the day finally arrived and I opted for takeout. I went with the "Make Your Own Seafood Combo" seafood boil and went with: - Shrimp (head-off) .5 lb - Snow Crab Legs .5 lb - Lobster Tail 6 oz You receive one corn and one potato with this particular combo. You can substitute the potato for an additional corn, and vice versa. You also can add on additional at an extra fee. You get several sauce choices along with spice level preference. I settled on Cajun with Fire (which is supposed to be the spiciest/hottest but I found it to be the weakest out of all the seafood boil restaurants that I've tried). Was definitely more medium spice level than the HOTTEST that I requested. The snow crab legs and lobster tail were both delicious and had a lot of meat to be found in both. The shrimp didn't seem to be cooked very well. Even after peeling and taking off the tails it was still quite a bit crunchy. I had requested utensils/napkins, and absolutely nothing was received (so I thanked God I had visited Red Lobster previously and they had given me a reusable plastic crab leg cracker with my previous meal there) otherwise I would have been stumped cracking legs all night long! For the prices at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood, I really was not that impressed. The fact they only give you one corn (I couldn't care less for the one red potato) and the fact they don't include any utensils or napkins (as this meal is VERY messy) is a complete turn off because the restaurant can definitely afford to compensate. Overall I'd rate them a 3.5, but since that's not possible, I'll round up to a 4 as the lobster tail and snow crab legs were delicious.

We visited on a Sunday and were charged full dinner price, even though it was lunchtime--but most of what was available felt like leftover lunch items. The food was cold, dried out, and honestly not appetizing at all. The meat was especially tough and hard to chew, which made it even worse. The biggest letdown was the crab legs. We were repeatedly told they'd be out in "10 minutes," but we waited over 30 minutes. When they finally brought some out, there was barely anything--just a few pieces--and they were gone almost instantly. Definitely not what was advertised. The restaurant itself was clean, but it felt pretty rundown and not well maintained. Several food areas were empty, including desserts, and the drink machines were nearly out or barely working. As I was getting ready to leave, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and walked in and it was disgusting. It smelled like throw up, and it looked like somebody had thrown up. One of the most frustrating parts was the drinks. As soon as you sit down, they immediately come to your table and ask what you want to drink, which makes it seem like it's included--but sodas are actually charged separately. It felt very misleading, so just be aware of that. Overall, the whole experience felt disappointing and poorly managed. We will not be returning and would not recommend this place.

    I haven't been to Timbermine in years…read more We finally went back tonight. We got sat in the back corner which was charming. It took a little bit too long for service but they quickly made up for it. My husband had the Filet Mignon. He said it wasn't the best he's had but still really good. He wants to come back for the Prime Rib. We both had salads with their homemade ranch. It is so good I just wanted to drink it. I had the fried Shrimp. I thought it was delicious. You get five giant pieces and their cocktail sauce had a little kick to it. It's really some of the best I've had anywhere. We didn't order dessert because they start the meal with delicious bread and butter then a salad and your entree so it is a ton of food. We live in Salt Lake. Every Steakhouse there is Ala Carte. It was nice for once to just get it all as part of your dinner. It's about an hours drive for us but I've made my husband a fan. Hopefully we come back often because I forgot how good it is!

It is definitely a challenge to serve 80 patrons at once. The food and service quality has to be on its game. i think that Timbermine Steakhouse did a good job. We had a banquet room to ourselves, which most restaurants do not have. We were in round tables that seated 10. Included with our dinner was a nicely flavored fruit punch, salad with Ranch dressing, dinner roll, choice of ribeye steak or halibut or teriyaki chicken, big baked potato that was delicious, and a strawberry cheesecake. All were good. We were not asked for doneness for our steaks, they all came out medium well done, but that wasn't a problem since the steaks were still tender and not dried out. For point of reference, I usually have my steak medium rare. A good steak that was sizeable, a half an inch thick that covered half of the plate. I didn't even finish mine. I think that was a good deal for $27 a person, which included the tip for the servers. The service was spot on. There were enough staff assigned to our dinner and they were on top of things. Water and punch filled and refilled, plates cleared, meal served on time and efficiently, friendly and pleasant. Our room was spacious enough for our large group. There were none of the idiosyncrasies that makes Timbermine, Timbermine. Walking in and out of the restaurant, I did notice the mine cars, the bathtub lined with Pez dispensers, things on the wall, etc. that gives it it's quirky theme atmosphere. Our event started at 4:30p and when I left at 6:30 the parking lot, which is huge, was jammed full as well as the regular restaurant space. So this place is definitely popular on Saturday nights! Good job, Timbermine, I think you are a good choice for large groups. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
