Lumber Jacks Pancake & Steakhouse

Good place for a stick to your ribs kind of home cooked breakfast. I was a little disappointed that they do not make their holly sauce from scratch. Service was friendly and quick. Would recommend.

Service isn’t very good, though everyone is kind. I’ve been waiting to be asked if I need anything to drink since I’ve been here. No water to wash down my cold breakfast. Toast was dry and bland, hash browns taste old, cold and dry. Eggs were undercooked, I asked for no runny yolk and they were very runny, making them inedible to me. Sausage and bacon cold and bland. Overall it was an okay experience, but I won’t be coming again. Would not recommend.

Stopped in for a quick lunch after going to Barbecue Country for BBQ parts. Both of our meals were hit and miss. I had a grilled cheese, which was awesome, but the cactus fries that came with it were soggy and oily, not cooked all the way through in the centre of the pile. The omelet was tasty, however the potatoes that looked great were super sweet and not very good with the rest of the food. So maybe it was just potato based foods that day! The main parts of the meal were good, the service was excellent and attentive, and the place was much nicer inside than I thought it was going to be. If we’re in the neighbourhood, we might go there again to try it, but we won’t be going out of our way to hit it up. It was busy, so it has to be consistently alright for people to keep going back!

LJ’s is one of my favourite places in town for a solid hearty breakfast at reasonable prices. I have been coming here for years and am never disappointed. It’s clean, consistent and comfortable.
I love omelettes, french toast, bacon & eggs, and most of all, their potato pancakes. They are seriously the best in town… perfectly flavourful, fluffy and crisp on the outside — served with sour cream (but I usually use maple syrup on mine)
Not only do they serve hearty breakfasts, they have an excellent lunch and dinner menu as well that will cater to all tastes and ages. One of my favourite reasons for having dinner here are their homemade dinner buns — soooooo soooo yummy — fresh, fluffy, slightly sweet and preservative-​free!
The service is friendly and efficient.
Plenty of parking out front. It can get busy on weekends during the breakfast/​lunch rush but don’t let that deter you as the wait usually isn’t very long.

This a good spot for a quick hot meal. The food is very good as well as the service. The restaurant has lots of booths for private dining. The meals are prepared quickly so there isn’t any waiting around when you are famished.
The restaurant is in very good shape (it’s not a dive nor very fancy). Great place to bring your family or a good place for a business meeting.
The menu has almost everything for Canadian Style Food.

This place is a staple for me and my family. We go once every month or two usually. Realistically, it’s probably a 3.5 stars… but that doesn’t exist. I’m comfortable giving it 4 stars though.
Really… the only reason I would consider putting it at less than 4 stars is that the service is pretty shoddy. They’re definitely not understaffed… there are plenty of servers and hostesses walking around, so there isn’t much excuse for forgetting so many things. I usually have to ask for things twice before they get to me.
But the food is usually delicious and the atmosphere is usually not too loud like it can be at some places like Denny’s.

My husband and I took a chance and stopped in to eat. Lumber jacks has similar food to Denny’s but is a whole lot better and the prices are awesome. I got the mushroom Swiss burger which was more of a sirloin burger, which was delicious. My husband got the fish and chips. They were extremely tasty, not very greasy, and the batter was crispy and crunchy! I had my fries poutined. The gavy was amazing. We kept asking each other if our food was home made. the soup and rolls tasted like my grandma’s! If you are wanting a nice family-​stlye meal, it doesn’t get any better for the price!

POTATO PANCAKES. I think they are home made. I’ve had them twice in two weeks!

Went here today with my boyfriend for dinner and it was actually a lot better than we expected! It looks like it probably had a few renos, because the food menu is definitely different than how it looks inside. It has the food is more like breakfast Denny’s style.
But it was actually really decent food. I had the Philly Chicken dip and it was really great. The sides we had were not that great — potato salad that was really off tasting, and some soggy poutine. The actual mains we had were really great though. We also had nachos at the appetizer and they were good and affordable. The service was fine, other than the waitress messing up our order. She brought out two dishes that were completely different than what we ordered and we were like uhhhhhh. When the actual food came though it was good.
The food is not expensive the atmosphere is good. Its not perfect but it is a really good place to just go and have dinner. It’s pretty quiet and draws an older crowd, but no one really knows about it so there’s not too long of wait time. They are relatively fast bringing out food too!
I would recommend this place to people it will be our new breakfast place.

It’s a plain and simple breakfast. But decent and filling.
The waitresses are quick with their duties, as is the kitchen staff, so a meal doesn’t take an hour complete.
So go if you’re in the area and need a quick meal.

I was there twice in the last two weeks. Once for breakfast one for lunch.
My Wife had French Toast. I had the steak Sandwich. She did not enjoy the toast. I loved my sandwich. Cooked to perfection. Just the way I ordered it.
Fries were good and crispy. Coffee was tasty as well. Lots of re-​fills.
I also had a tossed salad. Fresh and crisp with lots of dressing on the side.
The second time the wife had a Lumberjack breakfast. I had a clubhouse sandwich. The club has real Turkey not that sad ol cold cut turkey some places have.
Both were fantastic. Lumberjack was huge and fresh.
I had a bowl of Veggie soup. Amazing and homemade.
The best part is the homemade buns. Amazing. A must have.
Worth going for the buns alone.
Great prices. Service was good.

been here with the family a number of times… always good food, busy place on the weekends…

Lumber Jacks is like having a truck stop diner in the middle of the city. It’s got decent food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. On the walls hang trophy fish and old framed advertisements from years gone by.
The homemade buns are delicious and the food is always plentiful.
I definitely recommend this place for a greasy breakfast, which is sometimes exactly what you want.
Although usually busy, this restaurant is rarely too packed, and you are almost always guaranteed a seat.
