Nice sized bar area and huge outdoor patio where you are welcome to wait. Bartender made us feel welcome even though we didn't need drinks while waiting. Excellent views on the beautiful patio! Live music. Excellent server! NA options...4 beers plus mocktails. Huge variety on the menu and well priced. All of that said...the food is what you come to a restaurant for, right?? 3 stars for food... We ordered cheese curds and asked if regular or spicy were better. Were told we could do half and half. Great to have that option. The regular ones were excellent. Spicy were terrible. Gyro was a small serving size and flavorless. Nice amount of feta and other toppings, very little lamb meat. Tuna was good, not great. Prob 3.5 stars All in all, food doesn't have to be perfect to be good and you can truly enjoy going out if the food is "just" good. Will definitely go back and try other menu options. Since there's a great variety we'd likely find something excellent.

There were 3 IPA options on tap which is what I typically order, but I opted for the pumpkin wheat While I waited. It was very light and refreshing without a heavy pumpkin taste. We ordered the potstickers and cheese curds as appetizers. Both were served hot and fresh. Very tasty! It took awhile after apps were out for our entrees to arrive. I ordered the Reuben with sweet potato fries. Reuben was very good but sweet and potato fries left a lot to be desired. For my second beer, I ordered the West Coast IPA. It was a mosaic ipa and a bit hoppy! Very cool, solid restaurant. Super cool area & would definitely revisit for the beer!

Our food eventually came out and I would give it a C- rating. Most of it was cold. The food was not seasoned and most of it lacked flavor. The prime rib sandwich was good. The stuffed mushrooms barely had any "stuffing". I would not recommend and we won't be going back.

It is so sad to see that this restaurant has completely went down hill. Things started off fine. We were greeted at the door and seated right away. We then waited 50 minutes for our food to come out. Our appetizers came out quickly because they were just deep fried apps, but our entrees took 50 minutes. Our appetizers didn't taste right like the oil was old or something. The onions rings did not look appetizing, a darker color to them from the oil? My friend has the fish and chips and said the fish had good flavor but it was chewy and soggy. My other friend had the fettuccine Alfredo and didn't even eat it. We all tried it and it didn't taste like Alfredo. It had tomatoes in it too. My other friend had the salmon and rice pilaf and thought it was good. I had the cowboy burger. It was a really good burger, the patty was on the thinner side and it definitely wasn't cooked all the way as shown in picture. I appreciated that they used real bacon and not microwave cheap bacon. The bun was a little small for the burger but it was packed with onion rings, bacon and bbq sauce. Again, the onion rings weren't great. The manager/our waitress Mandy was kind and attentive. She asked why I didn't want a box for my burger, and I just said it wasn't really cooked all the way. Then she shared about how things have been rough there and she is hoping to turn it around with being recently hired. She shared how the chef "has no clue what he is doing." Whoever owns Timbers is going to have to close their doors because no one is going to visit a restaurant that is not enjoyable. It was a Saturday night at 5-6pm and there were only 4 tables with people dining. That is a big red flag if your business only has 4 tables on a Saturday. The atmosphere is great, they have an upstairs and a small deck out back, and it is just so sad it is going to waste. There is free street parking and a small parking lot next to the restaurant. Overall I hope this place can turn around.

We hoped that they had the personnel issues and pizza making figured out. Our order was ready on time and the pizza looked good. The crust was cardboard like but the toppings, cheese and sauce were pretty good. That is until my wife bit into something odd. Upon inspection she found a piece of wire burried in the cheese and toppings. We immediately stopped eating and headed back to Chuckwagon. The staff called the manager who was off site. She asked if we could wait 10 minutes while she dry over to talk to us. She ascertained that the wire must have come from the can opener they use to open the mushrooms which at first sounded logical to us. Upon closer examination it does not look like it is part of a metal lid. It really looks like coiled wire. They gave us a full refund. We asked to talk to the restaurant manager so we could be assured this was figured out and that no one would be in danger eating this pizza in the future. She said the manager would give us a call the next day. We waited a day and a half without anyone reaching out. We texted the original woman that gave us the refund and she responded that the manager didn't have any answers other than that it was from the can opener and was getting a new one. This is a potentially very dangerous situation if someone were to swallow something like this. We have great concern that the issue may not be the can opener and there is extreme danger in eating pizza contaminated with whatever this is. We are reaching out to the Health Department but in the meantime do not recommend eating their pizza which we understand is also sold at Stix just up the street. The nonchalant attitude of the manager is quite concerning. You would hope they would be extremely aggressive in correcting this but we have not gotten that vibe at all.
