The food was good. The service was good. Why 3 star? Well, for my wife and I we got 1 appetizer, 2 steaks, and two 8oz lobster tails. The bill? $140 BEFORE tip. No alcohol, just food for 2. The 8oz lobster tails were $35 each. So, while the food was good, at those prices, you're putting yourself in competition with upscale Cleveland restaurants. If you want me to pay upscale Cleveland prices, you better deliver upscale Cleveland quality. And this was not upscale Cleveland quality. read more

My first experience here was fantastic. There were six of us dining and the food was excellent and it was impressive how the Staff stayed on top of everything despite it being really busy that night. Would definitely go back. read more

Agree with most of the reviews... Know that you will go there and the service will be underwhelming. Had a really bad experience with a rude owner/manager that acted as if he was doing us a favor to let us consider dining there. Finally got there Sunday with the family and must say the food was great. My wife and I are always seeking out good prime rib and this was the best we've had in years. Entire party enjoyed the food. Set your bar low on service sad to say, but they can cook a steak! read more

Delicious dinner at the bar.... I had Caesar salad with anchovies and scallops. It was a great, cozy atmosphere on a rainy night and the meal was fantastic!!! We will be back! read more

Over priced. I got the shrimp and it was good, but then got a side of green beans that was enough for leftovers literally for the rest of the week and extremely salty. My husband got the Delmonico steak medium and came out medium well-to more well than anything. His sides were bigger than his steak and we both had parsley as a decoration all over our plates. The table cloths were plastic, not something you'd find in a place that charges like they do. Overall it wasn't the worst but overpriced for what you get. read more

Worst experience ever. I do business dinners all the time and this was horrible. Server spilled a drink on one person (and by on - i mean all over them. Food came out over cooked and was not very good. Did another dinner and long horn and it killed this place. It was a really bad experience and there was little apology. read more

We have celebrated two New Year's Eves at Timber Lodge. They have been outstanding! If a restaurant can turn out wonderful food and maintain quality service on such a busy night, that is the sign of a great restaurant. We also patronize Timber Lodge during the year and always leave very satisfied. Art & Gayle read more

Horrible host staff. I understand the difficulty with planning for a crowd, but the host staff was rude, dismissive, despite our 5:30 reservation, we ended up leaving at 7 without having been seated. read more

We come here often and the food and service are always excellent. Steaks are very good and they have great daily specials. Our waitress Allie was impeccable. A wonderful place for any occasion. read more

We went here for a birthday dinner. We ordered three porterhouse steak dinners and one crab cake dinner. We all had an appetizer. We waited a long tine for the appetizers to come out . when our dinners came my steak at which I ordered medium was way too done. I waited 15 minutes before the waitress even came back to see if everything was ok. I told her no my steak is too done. She said what do you want me to do about it I am not the cook. I told her I want you to take this steak back and bring one that I ordered. I really wanted to call the manager at this piont but I did not want to ruin my friends birthday by putting a down her on dinner. Mind you this steak dinner is costing almost 40.00 without the apps and drinks.to me this is unacceptable. I will not be going back to this bad food bad service place ever. When we got home my friend called the manager and they acted like the didnot even care. Just said they have a meeting everyday and will discuss the topic..flavorless food and crappy service here. Moving on. read more

The atmosphere is very nice. The wait staff friendly and knowledgable. The prime rib was delicious. The wine selection was a bit less than spectacular...but otherwise I would definately recommend a visit. We were told the seafood is a must try and I intend to try it on my next visit. read more

My Husband and I live near here and every time we stop there we say "Why don't we come here more." We always order too much, but love the leftovers the next day. Our children consider it a must to eat there when visiting from Georgia and we also go to Timber Lodge every Christmas eve after church. We had filets there last week and they were perfect. I usually order shrimp but now I have two favorites. We also always have Lodge Potatoes as an Appetizer and take home dessert. Our server last week was Kim and she did a super job. I did not tell her it was my birthday, because they would have sang to me. She was attentive and gracious. read more

Very disappointing all the way around. Overpriced food that was mediocre at best. The $45.00 steak was overcooked and tough, came with one tiny roll and a shriveled up sweet potato. The service was rude and unfriendly. A vodka tonic was $9.50 and was very light on the vodka.... My companion felt exactly the same way. Would definitely not return. Much better choices in the Medina area are The Brown Derby , Corkscrew Saloon and Longhorn Steakhouse. All of which have a MUCH better atmosphere and superior food quality. read more

Great New Year's menu. We enjoyed the specials- ribeye with lavender butter, Beef Wellington that you could cut with a butter knife. We ate at the bar and the service couldn't of been better!! read more

Steaks, Prime Rib, Pastas, and chicken are all good! Have eaten here many times and have to say its one of my favorites in medina. Start out with thier featured wine (its always good) and then for an appetizer i recommend the crab and shrimp florentine stuffed mushrooms YUMMMMM!! They have a great selection of features for the weekend usually being an amazing fresh catch of the day. YOU NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE OUT! I am confused on how there are bad reviews on here.. service is absolutley amazing they tend to the pace of your meal and are always attentitive. GREAT SERVICE GREAT FOOD GREAT ATMOSPHERE! read more

Timber Lodge is a casual steakhouse. Delicious, and expensive, but worth it--the portions are huge. Two words: prime rib. You'd be a fool to come here and not order it as it's what they are known for. We also ordered a special: three lobster tails and three scallops. The lobster tails were a little bland, but that's nothing some butter and salt can't fix. The scallops were cooked to beyond perfection, as if that were possible. They are served with some sort of red pepper aioli. I loved it, but if you aren't a peppers person, you aren't going to enjoy it. The kitchen messed up one of our lobster tails and management was extremely accommodating about it. They replaced it with an 8 ounce lobster tail (instead of the 4 ounce). I recommend getting the mashed potatoes as one of the sides. Our server Alysa was nice and friendly and very knowledgable about the menu and restaurant. My only complaint? The wine glasses. They felt cheap and looked cheap, but that's just me being a wine snob. read more

Well Timber Lodge, you did it again. Another delicious meal. My husband made me try something different, although I really didn't want to. Tonight I tried the ribs. I'm kind of picky on ribs, don't like them to fatty, they have to be fall of the bone(hate when they get stuck between your teeth, even though I carry floss every where I go), not to spicy, not to saucy either. You nailed it! Mm, mm, mm. One thing bad here. ..you're making my decisions harder each visit!!! Keep it up! :) read more

Prices are a bit steep, food is of higher quality and their steaks, prime rib, and cuts are good. Service is mediocre since there are many younger waiters/waitresses who are not so experienced for the type of price you pay and ambience you expect. read more

My family and I have been dining at Timber Lodge (formerly Steve ' s Dakota Grill) for many years. We've always had an excellent dining experience. The staff is friendly and attentive and the steaks are absolutely delicious! Save room for dessert because the brownie delight and bread pudding are enough to share and awesome as well! Anytime we visit other steakhouses it's simply not the same! The owner Ron is always available and is very involved in the entire operation ensuring his guests have a pleasurable dining experience! read more

Love this place! The prices are reasonable, the steaks are fantastic... The only thing that I wish they were a bit better at is large parties. Seems the staff gets a little overwhelmed when you have more than five people, but otherwise a great spot. read more

Last Sunday, we were out driving around because it was a sunny day (for a change) and we decided to stop at Timber Lodge. It did not appear to be anything special from the outside but we were pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. Service was excellent and the food was great. I had a steak that tasted the way a steak should taste. My husband had a chicken sandwich that he enjoyed thoroughly. The appetizer cheese fries was a meal in itself but we ate every last bite because they are not your typical cheese fries. These are something special. Carrot cake to take home topped off an incredible meal. I was very comfortable there in jeans but could see how on a special occasion, a little more dressing up might be warranted. We will definitely be returning to Timber Lodge. Tonight???? read more

35 minute wait at 7 on a Friday. We sat at the bar and were served one drink in 35 minutes. The bartenders never checked on us or even closed our tab. We had to beg once they called us to be seated. But our waitress in the dining room was AMAZING. Her name is Sarah. The food was delicious and she knew so much about their wine. I got the oysters as an app, the full rack of ribs, and the MOST DELICIOUS bread pudding for dessert. It came to $52. The bloody mary's are $8.99!! But it's worth it to treat yourself. read more

Hands down, THE best steak joint in the area. The prices aren't even worth mentioning as the QUALITY of their food is simply amazing! If you are anywhere NEAR the area, Timber Lodge is a MUST stop. No questions about it. The 24 oz porterhouse is easily the best menu item they have, or maybe their prime rib, THATS the best....unless you count their TWO POUND LOBSTER TAIL....this is too hard. It's ALL good!! read more

Been going here for years. It's my favorite for special occasions Decor is fantastic like the medina of yesteryear. But the food. The food is the best. The 1 pound lobster tail is always made just right. The sweetness is just right. The consistency is just right never ever a disappointment. Now the steaks. People come from miles around for the steaks. They make a filet taste like a sirloin and it melts in your mouth. Just cut it with a fork. Mussels are unique in the flavor they have. Man don't miss this place Pricy but worth every penny. And the wait staff is also top notch read more

Another fine meal. Lobster Tails/Diver Scallops special and Fillet Mignon to die for. Will be back yet again... read more

Timber Lodge - SPECIAL: Lobster Tails and Diver Scallops. Fantastic. Like butter... - Steakhouses Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Best Porter House Steak I have ever eaten in Medina County. Food here is always Great and the Deserts are HUGE!!! Save Room for it. Service has never been an issure. Never a dull moment and it is a very popular spot. Always waiting for a seat no longer than 30 minutes. The decor is very Rustic and they have a outside Patio for the Summer time. Brunch Buffet was excellent with Mimosas. Overall A very good place for Dining repeatedly. read more

Took the family and some friends for my son's 21st birthday. Excellent prime rib and steak. Kim our server was even better, highly recommend. read more

Went there recently for father's day and honestly, I knew what I was in for. Can't expect 5 star service on one of the busiest days in food service. However the service wasn't what docked this down a star. Our service, although understandably a bit slow- was decent, and I have no complaints. My main gripe was that it was literally 82 degrees inside the restaurant - I looked at the thermostat that was right by our booth. LITERALLY 82 Degrees. The poor kitchen staff, when I walked out after paying I told my dad this was the first dining experience that I left feeling like I needed a shower. I couldn't even enjoy my food. I got the beef Wellington that had a much too sweet Demi-glace, it was almost as if you could taste the worst parts of the wine without the flavor, which I didn't particularly care for, but chalked it up to the heat. When I got home I very much enjoyed my left overs san heat and san Demi-glace. The Asiago mashed potatoes were phenomenal and the Wellington was cooked perfect. Well probably go back sometime in the fall, I think. read more

May be expensive but I had a great meal, friendly and quick waitress, and very nice atomosphere. So worth the money in the end for a good steak. read more

My husband and I recently spent our anniversary at Timber Lodge and we were so pleased with the service and the quality of food. I have food allergies, and our waitress bent over backwards to make sure I knew what food had what ingredients, check with the kitchen for ingredients she was unsure of, made suggestions that would work for me and asked the chefs to create a special order for me. Even at desert and after dinner cocktails she remembered my situation and had suggestions at the ready. It was wonderful to be able to eat and not have to worry about having a good reaction or feel I'm missing out. I could not recommend Timber Lodge more! read more

Tried the Lobster special last weeek. Lobsters were good size and succulent! The trimmings were also excellent! Our server, Becky, was spectacular and really made the meal a memorable experience. Am returning for a celebratory dinner next week with 5 other couples and have alresdy arranged for Becky to be our waitress. Highly recommended to be sure! read more

The steak!!! It's so wonderful. Timber Lodge is a great place for a relaxing, delicious dinner. The steaks are to die for and the service has always been really good. It's our favorite place to go in Medina and I recommend it to anyone - except maybe vegetarians. read more

Very disappointing. I ordered the strip steak medium and it came medium rare (closer to rare). The server didn't check on our table for ten minutes then when she finally came back she goes omg that's rare and took it back. I waited 15-20 minutes and all they did was re-cook the same steak to well done. The manager was rude and didn't offer anything in return for the horrible steak. Waste of $40 when our table spend $400. Never go here. read more

Love the food and atmosphere. Always a busy place, so arrive early. Prime rib, steaks, seafood, lobster bisque...have tried and enjoyed them all. Can't wait to dine here again! read more

Worse steak I ever had. I was up-sold the 14 oz. bone in $60 filet mignon, which was supposedly their house special. It definitely wasn't a $60 steak. I ordered it medium. It came out looking like a 5 oz filet. It was raw on the inside with tons of fat and gristle on it. I took two bites out of it and boxed the rest up to give to my dog. When I asked the server about the size, her comment was, "Well they do count the weight of the bone." Okay then, I guess I paid $40 for a 9 oz. bone that my dog wouldn't even touch. The fact the server didn't even recognize my frustration and not calling over a manager to deal with the situation is even more disparaging. I'll never visit this place again & will be sure to share my experience with family and friends. read more

Just OK for us. The lodge potato appetizer possibly the best potato appetizer I've ever had! French onion soup very average. Waitress was great on the upselling side but not so much on the attentive side. Had to ask for drink refills more than once. Prime rib good / portion good. Lots of food for fair price so only 4 star for us this time. read more

Been going to Timberlodge/Steve's Dakota for 20 years had one bad experience that I could overlook but last night the Owner was downright rude when I went to place reservation for 5 told an 1 hour 45 min wait ( and very RUDELY) because we had 5 people instead of 4 or lower but was my B day and stayed after arriving at 530 pm we were seated 710 pm than service was slow as molasses and finished at 845 pm REALLY. we go there for all 4 of my families B days for 20 years and now this NEVER AGAIN LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER!!!! Owner was really bogus!!!! read more

First, I must preface my review by saying that I visited with family on Father's Day and the place was extremely busy. That said, we had a large party (14) requiring multiple tables because the place really is not set up to accommodate more than 4 person parties except at one or two tables seating 6 or 8. Two in our party left because their booth was too far away from the group. Everyone else in the group enjoyed their meals, which are well prepared with fresh ingredients. Steaks here tend to be cooked to perfection and taste great. However, on this visit I ordered the daily special, which was an aged Bone-in Kansas City strip and it wasn't that good. It was a lousy cut streaked with muscle. Cooked correctly, but it was tough, no flavor, 1/3rd of it was bone, and it was grossly overpriced at $42, which I didn't find out until after the fact. Speaking of overpriced, don't order from the "kids" menu. It's ridiculous. $15 for a simple burger with steak fries. $20 for ribs. Really?!? Kid friendly?? Ah...no. I would have given more stars if my food experience and the kid menu hadn't sucked, because I like the place. Atmosphere is nice, service decent, drink selection​ is good, and the rest of the group enjoyed their meals. Maybe next time I'll enjoy it more. read more

First of all the service was excellent, which is why I gave it any stars at all. The sirloin was so tough that we both had pieces on our plate we couldn't even chew. This was our 2nd visit in 2 years, both special occasions because of the price. Last visit I gagged on bad scallops and this year I became violently ill later that night. I suspect the $33.00 SIDE lobster tail. We won't go back. read more

Our favorite anniversary place. You are going to drop a wad of cash but the food is totally worth it. I ordered a steak and it was delicious. Definitely going back. read more
