The price of steaks were reasonable. They definitely have a Smokey environment. Once walked into the restaurant you can see a lot of smoke. Be prepared to stink your clothes. Server was extremely nice. The quality of the food was so so. Not much wine selection. I have ordered a rib eye. It was really dry. Mostly due to cooking on a pipping hot stone and all the juice in the steak evaporated during the cooking process. It is definitely different from other steak house but I won't come back. read more

Would not rush back, two people from our party order soup, they were COLD. My daughters mash potatoes were cold. My Father-n-Law got a dirty old napkin stuffed in his salad. They did give him 50% off his bill but by then we were all very turned off. it was a neat experience and service was good...... but all 8 of us that went, will NOT RUSH back! read more

Garbage, went back after bomber game and they couldn't even provide the special(wings should be standard stock). Very weak beer selection for a steakhouse. Food was ok but I saw the busboy drinking a king can in the parking lot when I returned after the game then the staff all drinking in the lounge. Won't be going back or recommending to anyone. This place will not survive. They need John Taffer read more

Terrible, terrible service! We were told we would have to hurry up and eat as soon as we walked through the front door because they were going to be busy. We hadn't even been seated yet. This place should be shut down. I highly recommend avoiding this place at all costs. read more

This was a first for us. I visited this steakhouse with my family. Several of us chose the lava rock experience. We had a lot of fun eating our meal, and the food was excellent. Steaks were fresh and tender, and the sides were well paired. They had a good drink menu and served local craft beer. We were a little disappointed with the overall atmosphere. It took away from the dining experience. The room is big and empty, and there were not a lot of other patrons at that time. I feel this place could use a good advertising consultant, and a little interior design work. Food was excellent tho, I would recommend trying it out. read more

Lot 88 - a wooden table with plates of food and drinks - Bars Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Just got home from Lot 88 where I never got to eat my meal. Decided to take my wife out for her birthday along with her mother. Arrived at the restaurant at 7:30. Waiter came and took our drink orders rather quickly and then came back shortly after that with the drinks and took our food order. After that did not see much of him. Got to sit in a cold restaurant with my jacket on while waiting for our food. Finally at 9:10 I asked for our bill for the drinks. Waiter apologized and said the food should be out soon but had no idea when it would be out. This is my third and last time I will ever go there. The service seems to be getting worse than better. read more

The food was good during lunch but I specifically ordered off the main menu so that I would get a bigger portion. Sadly that was not the case and I ended up paying $26 for what looked like a quarter of a chicken breast. And unfortunately even after complaining the waitress nor any of the other staff apologized or offered any sort of compensation. Sad that for 26 dollars you can't get a full chicken breast. read more

Horrible dinner.. didnt even get my meal and there was nothing done about it..I will never go back this place is the worst steak house I've ever been to.. still had to pay as per the manager what a fuck joke... no wonder this place will sink like the titanic read more

First time at Lot 88. We all chose our steak and had the lava rocks to finish the cooking. The food was excellent and the waitress explained very well how it all worked. Dessert was also very delicious. Definitely a fun way to celebrate a birthday! read more

This is one of those places with a gimmick, so you tell yourself you have to try it. They serve you a very lightly seared steak or other meat on a 500 degree hot stone. It's a thick steak, so it's practically still mooing. You cut off slices and lay them flat on the stone and they cook in a few seconds. Ok...now to the review. We were seated at 7pm. The waiter took our drink orders at 7:04pm. So far, so good. Now it's 7:30pm and no drinks, and no waiter. At 7:35 we asked someone else. A different person brought our drinks. Still no waiter and we hadn't even ordered food yet. Finally around 7:45 our waiter appeared and said he'd be right back to take our dinner orders. Another 15 minutes went by. We had been there over an hour and hadn't even ordered dinner yet. Once we got to place our orders, the waiter promptly told us that because it was busy and there were lots of orders ahead of us, it would take a while. Well...if he took our orders half an hour ago, we'd be eating already. The actual food was tasty. The steaks were tender, but I think I'd prefer my meal to be brought to me already prepared. Lastly, this place couldn't get any noisier. I had to shout to be heard by the person sitting across from me. Bottom line is I can get better food, service, and atmosphere for far less money. Sorry Lot 88. We tried once. No more. read more

Our group had a reservation for four people at 6 O'clock at Lot 88, we phoned at 4pm when they opened to ask if we would be able to extend our reservation to six. They told us this would be no problem. When we got to the restaurant we discovered that there was an event booked for 200 people and so space was very limited. There was no coat check and such a small coat rack that by the time we left we had to dig our coats out of a pile. We were brought to our table, which was set for four (we had to remind them twice to bring more cutlery to the table), and asked if we could move to a table for six and were told that this was a table for six. None of the other booths of this size were seating six people and the restaurant had clearly done nothing to accommodate our change in party size. Being in such close quarters is awkward, no elbow room to cut, no space for side dish plates, but also probably a safety hazard when passing a 550-degree hot stone across two people to get to the inside seat. The servers seemed rightfully hesitant when challenged with this task. It would have been nice to be informed that there was a large event with microphoned speeches and that they would be squeezing us into a small booth, we would have gone somewhere else. One of our wine glasses was dirty, there was a white residue around the rim of the glass. The manager was walking by and we informed her, she replied: "Oh that's just a water mark" but replaced the wine anyways. It was not a watermark and even if it was the manager should not be making excuses. The second glass of wine we ordered came in an even more dirty glass. One would think that after a table complains about the state of the glassware that they might take extra care to ensure it doesn't happen again. Embarrassing. Before our food came a larger table became available and we asked the manager if we could move to it as she had previously told us we could move to a larger table if one became available. She told us it was reserved... I watched the empty table for 30 minutes before a group of 6 was brought in and sat there. I can't help but wonder why the manager wouldn't move us when we had expressed our discomfort at the smaller table. If there the larger table was reserved by another group of six, it should have been no problem to seat them at our table. But I can understand why the manager wouldn't want to seat two separate groups of six at a table for four and risk even more bad reviews... I ordered a rib eye steak for my dinner and turned up at the table untrimmed. Connective tissue (silverskin) was visible on the edge of the steak as well as in some of the meat. I understand the novelty of cooking my own steak on their hot rocks but I should not have to trim it too. Unacceptable for any steakhouse. The rib eye was also tough, I think the worst rib eye I have ever had. The carrots were undercooked and the side servings quite small. My fiancé had the surf and turf, her 4 Oz Top sirloin was as tough as leather and had she not removed the (tiny) scallops and shrimp from the hot rock as soon as it arrived at the table they would have been overcooked. The Cesar salad was fine, but it's pretty hard to screw that up. Needless to say, I will never return and will warn people of the poor service. read more

The atmosphere is very nice here. The food is super tasty, the lava rock is really neat, you always get the perfect steak, and can cook up some of your veggies too. I also had the butternut squash shrimp ravioli which had the most amazing flavour. The staff have always been quick and friendly. I really enjoy coming here. read more

Went for dinner with my bestie tonight to try out Lot 88 for the first time. Had the pleasure of having the condescending Jade serve us. The wine list was shockingly bad (9$ bottles of wine for 60$... mmmm ok). Wasn't super impressed by the selection of appys that were half priced, so just went for the Pad Thai noodle bowl. Food arrived in a timely manner. My dish was hot, veggies and chicken was good, but not very saucey, and quite salty. My friend ordered a pretty expensive filet med-rare, I think it almost crumbled to dust when she cut in to it how dry it was... her veg was super undercooked. Jade didn't ask us how it was... assuming she knew it wasn't good. We told her when she came to clear our unfinished plates that it was not good. "I'll let the kitchen know" she said and brought us our bills. Just awful. No apology, no offer to take care of anything... no will for us to go back or recommend to anyone. Ever. read more
