Food: 6. Had a BLT, toast was great but bacon not fully cooked. When they say "lite" mayo they are not exaggerating. Served on a hot plate that wilted the lettuce. Service: 4. Waited a long time for menus. Long wait for food. Ambiance: 10. The view of the river, the trees and the birds is the reason to go here. I drove 50 miles for the food - was disappointed. read more

It took over an hour + to get our food. Plus at least 20 minutes after we had placed our order they came to tell us there was no baked potatoes The clams were stronger than a quarter Very overpriced Have to say the bartender and our server were very nice and it wasn't her fault We made a reservation, waited for someone to even come out and let us know where to sit and no one ever showed up. There was no one in the restaurant at the time either. Very understaffed and I don't understand why we need to make a reservation when there's no one to greet you ‍ probably won't give it another chance read more

Came here after a middle school volleyball game. Located in Estacada. It had a huge menu and some light bites too. Service was great. They were able to accommodate our big group. Has an old school like pioneer feel. There was a bar area and a restaurant area. Near the Clackamas river so had a pretty view of the water while we ate. Prices were decent. read more

Service was terrible, super slow and it wasn't even busy. Food was terrible, 2 people from our group got food poisoning from this place. Steer clear and go somewhere else to get a good meal. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, normally that comes with coleslaw and bbq sauce. The sandwich had day or 2 day old pork on it that was dry on a bun. No sauce, no coleslaw and the waitress didn't even come back to tell us they were out of anything if I wanted to order something else. Just brought it dry meat on a bun. I didn't eat it. Everything seemed like it was a day or two old and not cooked properly, tater tots were raw, like ice cold in the middle. How do you mess up tater tots? Every single person from our group will never be back again as it was one of the single most disappointing restaurant experiences we've ever had. Seriously I hope you all figure this out and get some new staff who gives a damn, cause we came in months ago for burgers and they were great. What the heck happened? read more

I went the other night. They have one person working in the bar and restaurant a signet restaurant closed, see bartender. If you could find him we made when we got our food. One dish was completely wrong, but loved is with the old onion rings that look like grease has not been changed in years. He mentioned it to the bartender twice they offered to do anything for it when the bill changed if it was an extra charge for the onion rings he finally took it off the sandwich. It is not the best steakhouse in town. I don't recommend going I know business is slow, but they have plenty of of customers. read more

We walked in last night and the place was practically empty all kinds of empty tables and yet as soon as we walked in the first thing out of the guys mouth was it's gonna be 20 minutes before we can seat you! It felt like just leave I don't have time to deal with you. He was rude and cold to us. So we walked out! read more

We stopped in The Caz for a local steak dinner. We hadn't been here in years so we wanted to give them a fresh review. The restaurant itself appears clean, with basic tables and chairs. It's a comfy dining area without any fancy frills... except for the view. We love the lake view from the windows. Our server was friendly and efficient. It appeared there was just one server and limited chefs on a busier than normal evening. That made service a bit slow but not from a lack of the staff hustling. We chose the ribeye & NY strip dinners and an appetizer of jalapeño popper dip. The steaks were grilled perfectly and seasoned nicely. The sides were all tasty as well. The popper dip was really good but I wish there was more bread served with it. The few pieces of bread we got was only enough for about 1/3 of the dip even loading them up with dip. Overall it was a nice dinner with a great view and friendly service. We'll be back to try more meals soon. read more

It's been a while, but we decided to give this place another go. We called to see when live music would start (because we were hoping for quiet meal) and were told we needed to make a reservation. When we arrived 5 minutes prior we stood in the reception area for 10 minutes, waiting to be escorted to a table. A young lady was standing at the end of the hallway and never acknowledged us the whole time. Fortunately, an older gentleman appeared out of the kitchen and asked if we'd been helped yet. When we said "Not yet!" he went back and rustled up a server for us. We were surprised there were only two tables occupied at the time and wondered why we had needed a reservation. Our server brought waters and menus, then she disappeared for a good while. We both ordered the prime rib special and received our drinks after a short while. 40 minutes later our food arrived in spite of the fact only one other table became occupied while we waited. It was lukewarm, probably because our inattentive server didn't notice the orders were plated for a while. Fortunately, the cook is pretty good, because the prime rib was done right and very tasty, even though barely warm. Excellent veggie blend and real mashed potatoes. Also barely warm. Our dinner was constantly interrupted by shouting from the kitchen, but not by our server who never came back to check on us until the male server (who seemed to be doing a good job) noticed we were finished for a good while and apparently notified our server. Good help is obviously hard to find and I feel sorry for the owner who is trying to make a go of this place. Maybe better training/supervision? In any case, we won't be in a hurry to come back. read more

Good food, it's right on the Clackamas river. Great steaks, im glad we tried this restaurant.

No staff. Restaurant empty but took 15 minutes to get seated. Then another 10-15 to get drink order which. Drove there specifically for the Bloody Marys that was on the menu but apparently don't have. About half the food was good (breakfast stuff) the other items off the lunch menu (Mac & cheese/ chicken strips) disgusting. It took two hours just to get one round of drinks and our food served. On the way out wanted to use the bathroom but both toilets were disgustingly clogged up. We drove a long ways to get there and like supporting local businesses but never again read more

I have been coming here since I could seat in a booster seat, I have seen many different versions of the menu and owners lowest. During 10-4pm you can't order any appetizers which seems weird since it's a bar. While the quality is decent I feel their new menu will push away regulars. I came for a quick bite before the river and spent $50. read more

I live in Estacada and heard this to be a good place to eat. So took my wife to your place for dinner last Saturday. Went in and waited for hostess. She said it would be a few minutes to seat us so I said that's fine and that to come get us at bar when ready. So after more than 30 minutes I went back to see how much longer and waited another 5 to 10 minutes and no one around then looked in restaurant and was only a few tables seated. Went back to bar got my wife came back to restaurant and saw hostess across room writing, waited another 5 minutes and could not even get eye contact or a word from her acknowledging us. So I said this is terrible service as we left. Rarely do I write reviews but the service was a joke. My family works in the restaurant business so I know how things can be sometimes. I thought the owner needs to know about the shit service. I cannot recommend this place. Zero stars. I would be embarrassed and disappointed if that was my employee. Waisted an hour of my time and could not get seated, so sad. read more

The food was extremely bland. From the Mac n cheese, to the steak, but I was most upset that the mashed potatoes tasted like NOTHING. Didn't even get a hint of salt. So disappointing. The alfredo pasta was just watery with an excessive amount of chunks of garlic. Desserts were dry and not tasty whatsoever. The service was not good. From the time our order was taken to food coming out was 30+mins. No checking in or anything. No refills. There was flies landing on our table/group. Never had such a bad experience at a steak house where everything is bad. Being out of town, I'd tell anyone to stay far away from this one. Sorry :( read more

The burgers have improved quite a bit! I had one exceptional burger with copious bacon, and the next time a pretty good burger with one slice of bacon cut in half. Consistency would be nice, but the burgers have improved. Fries are still meh, though. read more

Food is far below par, maybe their fry's are good. Salmon and ribeye were extremely overcooked.

I've given The Cazadero multiple chances, hoping it would improve, but it just hasn't. Every time I've visited, they are consistently short staffed, which results in long waits for drinks and even longer waits for food. The servers and bartenders who are working do their best, but it's obvious they are overwhelmed. On top of that, the food quality is inconsistent, sometimes good, other times poorly prepared or missing items. Being in a small community, the owner seems to rely on the goodwill of the community but isn't involved in fixing the issues. The employees are left working understaffed and expected to juggle too much at once, which hurts both them and the customers' experience. It seems that ownership should be more involved and assist the staff more if staffing is such a concern. At this point, reducing operating hours or closing certain days until staffing is figured out would make far more sense than continuing to run things this way. The bathrooms are consistently dirty and neglected, which makes me question how well the rest of the restaurant is maintained. This place could be a great local spot, with beautiful river views but after several tries, it's clear that nothing is changing. Without stronger management involvement and real investment in staffing and upkeep, I cannot recommend eating here. read more

Chicken Marsala was great, never had it like that before! Cheerful and attentive service from a nice young lady. The updated furniture and decor of the restaurant was a hit! read more

Solid meal, good value, a very pleasant server, and a fantastic view of the river from the dining room. We are from far away, and I enjoyed the opportunity to try an elk burger, which was great! My husband had a sirloin which he also enjoyed. read more

This is a great place to eat and the food is amazing. It is under new ownership and sherry is absolutely fantastic( she's the owner) My wife and I had dinner and then lunch. For dinner I had the prime rib and it was spectacular. For lunch had a crispy chicken sandwich. You will be surprised when that sandwich comes to your table. Lightly battered and two pieces of chicken. Definitely give this place a shot. Great place and the owner is awesome. Happy dining and cheers. read more

The Cazadero Steakhouse - Prime Rib, Garlic Mashed Potatoes - American Near Me - Estacada, Oregon

Food is really great, I had a Cobb salad and my husband had a Rueben sandwich, very delicious and the view is beautiful!

Two stars because our server was very nice and did what he could quickly, but it took close to 45 minutes for our food (3 of us) to arrive. My potatoes were luke warm and my Ham and Cheese Omelette I think only had half an egg? It was a weird omelette with little seasoning. The two others in my party were not happy with their meals either. One of my friends ordered a sandwich and asked for a substitution on it, which the server repeated back and promised to make sure the substitution happened. When mine and the other friends meals came out, my friend who asked for the substitution was asked by the server, "you didn't want xxxx on your sandwich, right?" To which she said he was correct. Off he ran to the kitchen - he was back 10 minutes later with her updated sandwich. Even though he has asked/noted the substitution, the kitchen made the sandwich 'normal'. Additionally, when we were ordering, the server had to state multiple times that they were out of certain items and that the menu was going to be updated soon. Oh yes, the Bloody Mary... that was good - along with the very nice view. But we do not plan on coming back. read more

First time ever eating here. Breakfast was good and price is reasonable. Best of all the service (Adam)and atmosphere was delightful. Beautiful view of the river was a bonus. Our new favorite place ! read more

We ordered a steak salad & a steak dinner with the loaded baked potato & mixed vegetables - both were delicious. Every table was full and the servers did great. The view is beautiful. Seen the little robot helper Plato which is more for entertainment- I would suggest putting your money into keeping your human servers, they ran circles around it. read more

The Cazadero Steakhouse - a robot in a restaurant - American Near Me - Estacada, Oregon

Worth the drive! The food was delicious, the service was excellent (Laura is fabulous!) and the view was beautiful. If you have a child who is at all interested in robots this is a must stop! We made a trip to Estacada specifically to eat at the Cazadero because they have a robot who assists the servers. If a robot assistant isn't your thing, the food and view were also worth the trip. The lemons are fresh squeezed, making the lemonade delicious. My kiddo had a waffle which came loaded with fruit compote and whip cream. In our party we also ordered fried zucchini appetizer, French dip sandwiches with fries, and a ham and cheese scramble. The portions were large and everything tasted fresh. The fries were crunchy and not greasy. I had at least a bite of everything and I enjoyed them all. Next time I plan on ordering the Benedict, breakfast is served until 5. Laura, the employee who helped us, learned my 9 year old was interested in robots and she took the time to talk about how Plato works. My kiddo was able to program Plato and tickle his face which makes him smile. Laura also talked to my kiddo about the model train and the murals in the restaurant. Laura also offered some suggestions for things for us to do since we live about 90 minutes away. Overall a memorable experience! Thank you to Laura and Plato for making our meal extra fun. read more

I've been going to the Caz for a while. Lots of valid criticisms here on Yelp. However, as of a few months ago they have a new chef, and I am compelled to uncloak and tell you that the new chef is great. I hope they keep him. We came for breakfast and sat in the bar, wife had the mushroom and cheese omelette, and the mushrooms were delicious. Yes, delicious. Not a word I bandy about, nor is it a word I expected to use for the Caz, ever, but here we are. Fingers crossed. read more

Food has always been good here with the most recent owners but seems like there is still a struggle to keep enough staff. I think the revamped menu was smart but unfortunately the inconsistency with service and what have seemed like frequent changes with the menu have kept us from frequenting here. We will give it a try again sometime but it will be a while. read more

Great river view in the back part of the building. Lots of light and nice and open. Seating feels a bit compac. The front part of the building could use a little more light. Food leaves something to be desired. Consistency could be better. Soups have been pretty good on occasion, sometimes too salty. Events have been good. Service has its moments of excellence. Then there are times where it takes a good while to get in an order, even when it's slow/slower. read more

I haven't been here for at least 12 years, when under prior owners the food and service was less than expected. I and my wife were pleasantly surprised when we took advantage of a Facebook deal and arrived at 5:20 on Saturday night. We had excellent service, very good food with large portions, great house wine, and all for a very reasonable price while seated with a beautiful view of the Clackamas River. I had baby back ribs with sautéed vegetables and basmatti rice, all were excellent for $23. A house salad for $9 had pear, sweetened walnuts, crumbled cheese was also very good. My wife had a 6 ounce sirloin, sautéed vegetables and French fries for $22. She also said all was excellent. Also had fried pickles which were very good for $10. House wine was very inexpensive and surprisingly very good. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly. All in all, a very lovely dinner with wonderful view. We will be back. read more

Really happy with the customer service at this restaurant! The burger was really yummy as well.

HOW is this place in business?! It is disgusting! The entire restaurant smells like urine, the tables were dirty, & the service was not good. After sitting down & waiting about 10 minutes just for a drink order, we decided to leave. Response to owner: There is NO way that place smells good!! No way! It smells like an ashtray & urine. Server did see us... she was not friendly at all. You could tell she was quite unhappy to be there. read more
