Good food service was very good
Good food but pricey for what we got.
My first time at the Sawmill Grande Prairie. Had a 12 oz prime rib with garlic mashed potato. Delicious. Atmosphere is very relaxed with wonderful staff. Service was wonderful. Food price is also reasonable and very filling. Restrooms are okay too.
Great, as always!
We went for a spontaneous anniversary dinner with our 5 (yes FIVE!) kids last night. The hostess seemed a bit surprised (and snobby) that we would show up with no reservation at dinner time, but we figured it was Monday night so whats the big deal. The manager was standing right there and he stepped in with reassurance that it would only take about 5 minutes to get a table together and we could just wait, pheewww, thanks! The table was great, the atmosphere was quiet and lovely. Our server treated each of our children with respect calling them "miss" and "sir". Our kids are just normal kids, we don't go crazy drilling them on table manners, they are ages 11, 9, 6,3,and 1. I honestly believe that because the atmosphere was so nice and because the server treated us so well that the kids just acted better because they knew it was worth it. I used to be a server and I seriously couldn't stand serving kids, they are so messy, their parents are so annoying, and I know I just wasn't patient, I just didn't have a clue. Now that I'm a parent I have so much respect for people like our server last night, he was so patient and kind. If he was annoyed he sure didn't show it, he was very professional. The food was good, but it was the server that really blew us away.
Great place to eat.
Prime rib special on Wednesday night awesome! Great steak sauce
Great food. Cool melty chocolate desert. Good service. Large Yorkshire puddings.
Good food and the Servers take the time to explain things with you.
A great place to go with friends and grab a great meal. As a steakhouse, it is known for serving a great piece of beef. The roast is always awesome but not wrong with a steak.
Steakhouse with great atmosphere. Wonderful food and service.
It took over 30 minutes for them to find us a table it was less than 1/3 full. Wow
Excellent service and food.
Excellent service from our server . Good appetizers
Sat for 20mins waiter walked past 3 times and the lady behind the bar kept looking over yet not a single person came to serve us I even waved yet nothing, was not too happy we ended up leaving to Boston pizza and was helped as soon as we entered. For the price wouldn't reccomend.
rude and slow is how you describe danniel our waiter ordered ribeye got prime rib and was told i was wrong when i complained, when we would make eye contact because we wanted something he would just turn away added to the fact the food was average at best it made for a shitty anniversary wont be going to a sawmill again
Excellent service this evening! We had delicious food served hot and cooked just to our specifications. The waitress was super polite and accommodating. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return!
Order an 12 oz prime rib from door dash and the rib was so hard I can’t even bite it. I tied to use steak knife to cut it and it didn’t even cut through. I called the restaurant and the manager said I don’t see your food and I can’t take your word for it……. Can’t believe that’s how they deal with complaints and how they treat the customers! So total order costs me $48.63 went down to the drain.
What restaurant takes only reservations and doesn't leave any space open for walk ins... And to tell me that they only took reservations and that there is 300 some people coming is so rude and unprofessional.
The Server tends to pay more attention to the Higher paying customers then to non high paying customers. LITTLE foes she know i could walk in there tomorrow with 10 friends averaging a total bill of 15 - 2000$ and i garentee if she was good waitress her tip would have been no less then 400-500$..So so so disgusted. She also pays ZERO attention to the Vlt customers.. 18 min the first time i waited for service refusing to help me. 10 min later stood there for 38 min. Never been so disgusted with a establishment in my life.
Amazing brunch, great service, always great!
I have tried a Sawmill in Edmonton and was very disappointed with the service and the food so I had very low expectations going in and I was very pleasantly surprised that our server was great and so was the food. Thanks Sawmill for a great date night.
Went out for date night on Halloween night Oct 31st. I live in Winnipeg and am used to GREAT restaurants. The Sawmill has all the great requirements i love. Low music (quiet) unlike the Keg,Moxie's,Tony Roma's etc.. The drinks were great,service was GREAT and our meals were excellent. Prime rib was cooked to perfection,and the Yorkshire pudding was exceptional. Wish we had one in Manitoba as it would be received very well here.
Great service and excellent food. I have two children and they are very accommodating. Best steak house in town.
Awesome tomahawk steak.
Fantastic night out
As a New Years eve celebration, we decided to go to the Sawmill Steakhouse. Service was good at first, food took over an hour but as it was busy and we were a large group of 8, that wasn't of much concern. The food, however, wasn't satisfying when we finally received it. The crab stuffed mushrooms had bits of shell in the crab, one of our steaks was completely dry, the bits of chicken in the Crispy Lemon Chicken were definitely crispy, dry, and crunchy, the chicken cordon bleu was too dry to finish... when we got the bill, we noticed they charged us for a full rack of lamb when a half rack was ordered. We asked our waiter, Danniel, about it, and he basically said he didn't hear "half" when we ordered so he went ahead and ordered the full rack. The full rack was double the price, which we weren't expecting to pay for, so we asked if he could do something about it, but he just became very rude and basically said it was our fault for not telling him we received a full rack (which was very small for a full rack). Spoke to the manager, who was less than helpful, and told us he would look into it later. Awful and rude. We won't be returning
Awesome food and the service is awesome. I have been many times now and always have great food and great service. I have been for lunch service and dinner service both times are excellent. Steak is always done how you want it and i would recomend the prim rib sliders for a starter they are superb. Great drink selection as well alcohol or pop both are awesome.
Ordered starter Caesar, medium rare 12 Oz prime rib and skewer of garlic shrimp. Received Caesar and medium 8oz prime rib with an enormous yorkshire pudding. The food that was served was delicious, just not correct. Atmosphere was quiet.
Service was good, food was also good other than steak being overcooked.
Good food friendly staff
Top notch sunday brunch. It was affordable, and fantastic quality. Crab legs fro breakfast? Yes please.
To put it bluntly... terrible. Service was very slow. The food was mediocre at best. The french onion soup was some of the worst I have every tasted, including the stuff you find in grocery stores. Asked for a medium-rare top sirloin, yet it was cooked well-done. The vegetables were cooked way too long and were very mushy. The only bright side to this meal was the garlic whipped potatoes...delicious! I would bypass this place and head straight over to The Keg.
High prices not very good service
Delicious food promo service overall great!!
Improperly staffed. Service time comparable to most airlines. Food portion best described as "polite" What staff there are are very cheerful and helpful. What food there was was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing.
Ribeye was amazing
Service was terrible. We had a large party and only one server so getting anything was slow. After about an hour we finally made our appetizer order only to have the buns come or half hour later, then our appetizers came. Then another hour for our mains to come out, some were cold some were not hot. Then the bills were wrong pointed out the mistakes the server fixed them, but the new ones were still wrong. This place can not do large parties. People in our party left before the mains due to the wait time, waitress was snarky about them leaving after 2.5 hours with no food
Great food clean
We ended up going here for a christmas party, I'm not sure if there was a different cook that night or they were busy somewhere else. The waiter was hard to get ahold of my boyfriend had to wait 15 mins for his coke, don't even get me started on the salad. I ended up getting the prime rib and I took one over seasoned, basically 20% cooked bite and was done. I ended up sharing my boyfriends palm sized steak, at least they keep slowly making the drinks strong and light every 20 minutes when I could possibly get the waiters attention.
Great food at lunch. Beat Salmon Salad, best on the menu
The hospitality, food and service were second to none in G.P.
Mmmm prime rib with a sauce to die for. They sell it in a bottle and that's so worth going back
Restaurant was not busy it took 45 minutes for our orders to get taken they got 2 orders wrong and took it off the bill but then got one of the two orders wrong again and was told "well it's already off the bill" and food wasn't replaced Slow service manager was nice but server did not take care of us.
Great service and awesome food.
We love their brunch! Worth every dollar!
Nice place nice atmosphere. Remember where the bathrooms are when you walk in or you could be walking around for a while looking for them. Cool interior decoration
To the Tomahawk! ????
Fantastic food for super reasonable prices with excellent service. Nothing not to like
Always awsome steak
Food was good, service was nice and the place looked warm and invinting
Was there for the Sunday brunch, was awesome and not too expensive. I recommend.
Was okay, pricing is expensive and the waitress had an attitude when we were going to share our meal.
Probably our most favourite place to eat! The staff and managers are so amazing and accommodating. The food never disappoints - a great place to get together with friends or get away and treat you and your honey with a fabulous meal.
Alright. Not worth the price... The food is delicious but the staff has troubles caring and our meals took over an hour to get to our tables. 150 dollars for a cold steak and a waiter who forgot our drinks and seemed completely uninterested in serving us. Plus they have a reservation option on their website that apparently has no meaning? My hubby booked for 7 for his bday and we got there to blank faces and were told to sit and wait with everyone else. I thought reservations were made so that you had a seat ready for you was I corrected.
Great food, excellent server. Will be back.
They need more steaks as they had run out it was a bit of a bummer
Awesome meal service. Happy New Year!
Great food. Lots of big screens to watch sports
Great lounge area for lunch meetings quiet good service and good food, not loud and crowded
Delicious! Great service! Will be back especially for the melt in your mouth syeak!
Ordered steak and lobster, lobster was mushy, (rotten) the waitress apologized and brought another tail, It too was mushy. After 2 rotten lobster tails, I was no longed in the mood for lobster, even though we were charged for it. At no time did a manager stop over to see if there was a problem.
Pot roast for lunch was a deconstructed version. Just ok, not quite as I had hoped. Nice setup though ????????
Service was excellent, Steak was delicious, lobster was ok.
Expensive but good. If you look around you can find same quality of food. For half the price on certain nights of the week.
Enjoyed a delicious steak and their tasty steak sauce
Took the neighbours out for one last dinner before the third lockdown started... food was delicious, packed with a lot of flavour. Their prime rib is always a big hit with us. Customer service was great and the staff were very friendly and attentive even though the majority of them knew they were being laid off the next day. Will definitely be supporting this business again once restaurants can open again!
Expensive but everything tastes great.
Very exceptional service! The venue was great and the meal was fabulous! I will definitely return again.
Makes a great Old Fashioned but time will tell for the Steak...
It was my boyfriend and I’s first time at the Sawmill and the service we had was very professional. Our waitress Santa was very polite and tended to our needs impeccably. The food was delicious and we the loved that atmosphere was intimate and comforting.
Their Sunday Brunch was very good and there was a large variety of breakfast and lunch choices! Great place for having a bit of everything for brunch at a nicer restaurant.
Best restaurant in town never disappointed great service
Have been for lunch a number of times, and is usually good. But the few times I've been there for dinner - not impressed. The last time I was there a few days ago, they don't know how to cook a steak - asked for medium rare, came out medium-well, sent back, then a new steak came out between blue and rare, sent back, then it came back rare so I ended up just eating it as the rest of the table was nearly done dinner already. Then for dinner, got the creme brulee, the bottom part was good - nice and creamy the custard - but the top part had curdled and was very eggy. something weird happened there. they ended up just taking these two items off the big bill. but still, the steak was the most disappointing, it's a steak house.
Great restaurant but they really push their $100 steak. Sounded amazing but I can’t handle that much meat!
Good food the lobster is a joke way to small
Quiet and tasty
Definitely a better option than the keg. The service and food quality are out of this world. Going with a couple friends? Have a tomahawk! Feeds 3 average people and is the best steak ever. Takes about 1 hour to cook.
So yum ...baked French onion soup very nice
We came to this place last week for a late brunch. The server was kind of annoying. We ask her to bring our dessert first which never happened til after our main course. I asked for a bigger glass that she happily said she'll bring but never happened. She delivered our supposed warm food late then it's already cold, our dessert late that the whip cream and ice cream have started mixing together, we were the first ones in the family lounge but others have left first. She didn't come and check on us as often as necessary and we were needing water refills. In the end, we decided that she does not deserve a tip, we could have spoken to the manager for poor service ,but we still gave her something, one of us didn't. Guess what, she gave us a sarcastic FYI note that if we don't give tips, the servers have to pay the chef's tip or something. I get that, but the service was awful.
Outstanding service and delicious meals. Huge servings great price for quality
The food was not quite as good as the price suggests but the staff are lovely
Great atmosphere, great food, and our waiter Terrance was very polite and courteous
Always a great experience
The Steak was VERY GOOD and the waitress was one of or the very best waitress I have ever had. I don't know her name but she is very good
Very pricey with small eating portions. Other than this food is tasty and servers are good.
1st time there but our waitress was nice the food is amazing i would recommend going here if u stop in grand prairie
They ask for ID when you are obviously 'over' 18. Waitresses could be more professional.
Absolutely delicious. Steak always cooked perfectly and the service is great
We had a really great meal! Prime rib was cooked perfectly! Not a glitch at all With the service.
Fantastic place for lunch, loved the black and blue salad!
The service was awful food could have been very good if it had been brought out to us when it was ready. Went out with friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays turned out to be memorable for the wrong reasons
Best service, best food, I have never had such amazing service and experience in a restaurant as this place. I would highly recommend this place 1000%
Came here tonight for the first time and everything was dry and cold on my plate and my boyfriends. Manager came to table and seemed offended that we mentioned it. Sorry bud, too bad. I know a good steak when i eat one.. our server was lovely tho!
Great service, excellent food
My husband loved his meal, me not so much
Our steaks were done perfectly!! Had a beautiful anniversary dinner!
Super consistent food, always delicious! We always get Tomahawk and the flavor is unbeatable! Great atmosphere, too. Servers have a passion for their job and its a very nice dining experience for everyone
The Sawmill has got to be one of the best places for prime rib absolutely delicious
Good food good service
The Sawmill never disappoints. Food is always fantastic and service the same.
Decent meal & excellent service!
Beast breasts in town omfg, don't come here with your gf
Best stake house I've ever experienced!
Really good food and meal, friendly staff.
The food and drink I had was excellent. Initially the service was a little slow but they became quite responsive once they got to taking my order. A little more pricey but a fine dining experience with help that is very easy on they eyes. I would describe this as the Keg kind of food with almost a Hooters approach with the waitresses.
I went there when I was in Grande Prairie for a trade show. I have to say that the service by Alicia S. was fantastic and the food was excellent as expected from Sawmill! I'll definitely be back!!
Dinner
Good ya.
The lounge is our go to night out.
Went there, it was practically empty. Stood for about 10 minutes. A waitress saw us so we waited 5 more minutes. Nobody came, we left. Poor service extremely
We ate at The Mill part of the Sawmill and the service was Great and the new menu was Excellent, the food was Very Tasty!
Absolutely delicious. Monday night steak and Lobster. Both were perfect.
We had a gift certificate so it was a free meal for us, if we had paid the $110 with our own money I would have been disappointed but it was a free meal. It was a good free meal.
=) Not bad . Not great either.
Great food, great staff, great environment!
The service was excellent, the pot stickers were awesome and the main course was also great. I had Chicken Neptune with bacon stuffed potato, vegetables and side of sauteed mushrooms.
Terrible ! food was cold steak definitely wasn't worth 44 bucks and the lobster was dry ... service was great food doesn't deserve a star
Ordered from skip the dishes.. it was pricey but very good.. the chocolate Smore Dessert was beautiful And delicious .
A great first time with family. Terrence was wonderful and classy. Very professional. Appetizers were 5 minutes from order to table. The prime-rib was well priced, fast and properly prepared. We were impressed. Excellent!
Best brunch in town
Ordered ( skip the dishes) from the sawmill in Grand Prairie, food was gross. $100 order( rib eye steak $48, dry rib starter $15, 2 shrimp skewers $ 10, added bermease sauce, lobster tail $21, and the only thing I ate and enjoyed was my shrimp skewers. Rock lobster for $21 ( should state that on menu, never would have ordered it). Went through skip the dishes, got a $20 (50% of effected items) refund, sent pics and everything so they saw the only that was gone was the shrimp and how little of anything else was touch, also included a picture of it all in the garbage. Lesson learned, probably best I ordered out and wasn't offered $20 refund in the restaurant.
Good wings! We went on wing night for half price wings with the purchase of a drink, this includes pop for the non-alcohol drinkers. The wings where cooked well, and had very good sauces on them. I had the BBQ and a saracha dry rub. Both very good.
Great service. Terrific food.
Try the Yorkshire puddings. Great service.
Steak was good. Salmon was very unappealing. Service was average. Server wasn't very aware. Made no suggestions. Didn't offer refills and handed my 3 and 5 year olds roll ups with sharp pointy steak knifes in them.
Good service in lounge. Great food
Food was very good but too expensive
This place is AMAZING. We have been here twice. The food is exceptional, the service is great. All around a great place to eat. It is a bit more expensive, but the price is worth the meal. They never take away from the foods natural taste.
Great atmosphere and great service. Had the bacon-wrapped scallops and they were delicious. Ordered the sirloin and asked for it rare with the bearnaise sauce and it came out well done. Still good but would have preferred rare
My food has a bug on it and my pinepapple juice got a blue mold on it and it's the best dinner I have ever had in my life. Joke! ???????????????????????????????? This place is awesome and the service is amazing! Kudos to everyone and to the owner of the restaurant. I really reccomend this place to my friends and family.
Went for dinner with my husband on Saturday night at about 7:30. I can't tell you how the food was because we were told that they were no longer accepting walk ins by the hostess. I have never heard of that for that type of restaurant. I was shocked. Not in a hurry to go back to be turned away.
Food, amazing. Service, amazing. I and my family sat down for an amazing evening filled with great food and we were not disappointed in the least, my steak was cooked to perfection exactly as I'd ordered it and the ribs were tender and flavorful. If you have some spare time and a little extra spending money I would highly recommend you try it out
Sunday brunch is amazing, and never to busy. They always have plenty of staff on, food stays hot and fresh.
The wings are deadly and cheap on tuesdays
Excellent service and one of the best steaks I've had in years.
Sunday morning brunch is amazing and food is better then the keg
Always an awesome meal.
Just had an absolutely flawless prime rib dinner. I have a very happy and very full belly!
Great service, good prime rib
Great food, expensive like a steak house
it was good the first time but the last time we went there, they serve as a chewy ribs. i would say old or not cooked properly. Was a disappointment. haven't been in this place for 3 years now.
The food was delicious
Excellent steaks. Great service. Desserts were good but not great. The only think keeping this from being a 5 star review are the prices; it is a bit costly.
Service is always friendly and the food is consistently great.. Best wings around!
Unprofessional, inattentive and cold reception. Entered the resturant lounge found a table and waited 10 minutes with no response from the staff. Approached a staff member and asked to be served, was flatly told that they had made last call and the kitchen was closed more than an hour before their posted hours of operation. I asked about the posted hours and the staff member simply said "well we are closed now" Will not return again.
The best dinner ever. Jolanta our waitress was the best. Great experience.
The best steak ever!????
they say they’re open til 12 but we were turned away at 8:30. super unimpressed.
Just had an early Valentines Day dinner at the Sawmill. At around 2 pm Sat at our table for more then 15 minutes before waitress came (only when I waved her down) apparently she said she was the only one working. Rush service when she could make it over. Did not serve out dessert the way the said it would be. Dropping $200.00 on a meal for two and you are like a after thought. We were always fans of the Sawmill never ate anywhere else but there, but time to change that and now we are going to start going over to the Keg.
Went to the Sawmill tonight. The experience was well above the five star rating I'm able to provide. The food was cooked to perfection. The waitress gave exceptional service. The menu was highly priced with focused variety based in quality. The prices matched the quantity let alone the amazing quality you get when you eat her. Cheers to the amazing waitress we had. It added so much additional value to our evening.
Very good food and good service...i will go there again...
Service was phenomenal food was awesome
Service has become very poor, food Luke warm
Fabulous meal, great atmosphere! We had the bacon wrapped scallops to share, and I had the black and blue ceasar salad. Perfectly cooked. Only thing that I wasn't too happy with was the lettuce was uncut. It looked like it had just had the outer layers removed, washed and then placed directly on the plate.
First time I ever had poor service here it is usually good service and good food but the Sunday we went here the service sucked and no one seemed to know what the hell was going on.
food was great. atmosphere was quiet and you could hold a conversation without yelling.
Food was ok...nothing to get excited about.
Exelent food and service
Excellent food. Service was great. Alot of the condiments were not offered. You had to ask for everything you needed that would otherwise be on the table. Probably covid related but still it took a while. Kids loved the hot dogs but lacked variety for them in the meal options.
Great food and perfect atmosphere
So good....I wish I had a steak right now....
The best steakhouse in town !! Very good ambience and the best service ever! Specially to shalom who’s been very sweet & lovely but still very attentive to each and every table she serves. She has a very sharp memory as well to know each and every customers she has. Great job!
Good buffet Sundays 10-2
Meal type
They try to be this classy steakhouse restaurant but its really just sub-par. The drinks were badly made and our waitress took forever to come back and take our orders. Food wise everything else but the prime rib is good which is weird because the prime rib is supposed to be their number one item. I had baked brie as an appetizer and it came out still solid in the middle instead of being delicious soft. I've been there twice and both times its been disappointing .
Lovely staff, tasty food, however, prepare to pay. Quite pricey. Like 5.25 for 2 prawns. Good date idea if you want to show off your deep pockets lol
Great experience. Good service.
Very good this time. Much improved.
Meal type
Delicious lunch special, only draw back was time - meals came within about 15-mins before needing to depart.
Pretty decent food, nice atmosphere and the servers were very friendly and attentive.
Amazing service, knowledgable servers, the prime rib and Yorkshire pudding was cooked to perfection, would highly recommend it to a friend
Perfectly cooked and flavorful steak everytime
An excellent steakhouse in G.P. When the keg shut down for renovations we frequented here and it was amazing. After the keg reopened, it sucked, so we continue to eat at the Sawmill.
The tomahawk was splendid.. the attendants are really gorgeous, timely and helpful.
Good food and accommodating to young kids.
We went in last night for a work celebration dinner most of us had the Tomahawk steak (what a beast!) from the service to the food and the atmosphere everything was amazing Joel and his staff always put their best foot forward and you have to try their new desert the decadent chocolate dome it was to die for!
This restaurant is absolutely delicious in every way possible. The comfortable setting, the friendly and prompt wait staff, the sublime cocktail menu and lastly the devine food. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Grande Prairie Alberta.
Great service and great food tonight!
Service was good, Kitchen was slow, Food was over cooked, guess that explains why kitchen was so slow, it couldn't have been the dining room, it was only half full. I've been here 3 times and i am yet to be happy with my over priced meal.
Terrible experience hair in the food undercooked steak and rotten lobster save your money go to Jax they have never let me down as for the sawmill save your money until you go to Edmonton or anywhere but grande prairie
The food is good and it was always our go to place for Sunday brunch... however the last two times we’ve come for Sunday brunch have been disappointing. The first time I called ahead to make sure they make food until the end as there was only an hour left of brunch. They assured me they keep it fresh to the end but that was not the case when we arrived. The second time we went early only to find they had taken away the best waffles ever and replaced them with the cheap hotel waffle machines that you make yourself. My omelette was uncooked and the shrimp and smoked salmon tasted weird. Slowly going down hill sawmill...
Went with family to share the tomahawk. I should have ordered the steak ahead of time because it takes so long to cook and the kids were already hangry when we arrived. The service was great and the food was amazing, we will definitely go back to share another one (I'll just order ahead of time).
Great atmosphere, excellent food, fast service. Mod-high price establishment.
Really enjoyed their chicken fettuccini alfredo.
Great service jo jo was awesome food was wonderful
Amazing prime rib, love coming here when in town. Highly recommend
Great food, lots of good options, a little loud
Unknowledgable staff...How to open a bottle of wine is standard, not depending on the establishment one is working at. A little disappointed this evening. Usually far better service.
The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, waitress was attentive. The speed of service was good and the foot was hot and tasted good. I would go to this place often as I could budget for it. They have TVs and various setting for everyone’s preference. If you haven’t been you should try it out, the prime rib was very good.
We waited over an hr and a half for our food and hardly saw our server, we won’t be back that’s for sure, if it wasn’t for the fact that we had a gift card we would have walked out
Lunch
Nice restaurant good food by the little costly for me,
If you are going for brunch you need to bring butter melted or a melter for butter if you want to enjoy the crab. Personally you may soon have to bring even more for apparently the saying is we don't have butter for brunch crab..,.. no horse radish for roast. What next just shells no actual crab .. so apparently the most expensive brunch in town and also the most down hill........
Classy restaurant, excellent menu.
Amazing great food
Was a great meal good service fair price we will definitely be back
Really good food, great ambiance but waited a long time to get our orders when the place was not very busy during a lunch hour.
Service was absolutely great food was very delicious roll me out the front door....Love It
Good food and ok service.
I miss the keg. But this place does in a pinch.
Dine in
Great atmosphere and some darn fine prime rib!
Brunches are AMAZING here on Sundays and I love the atmosphere. Such a nice restaurant.
Great service and fantastic food
Aweful experience. Went for a celebration and most of us ordered medium rare ribeyes. All 4 cane out medium well to well done and then was challenged by manager saying that is how "they" cook medium rare and will redo but next time order correctly. Hey mistakes happen but to be told that I have been misordering for my steak for the last 30 years all over the world implying its our fault not there is insulting. Food was aweful everybody ate at different times and manager was rude and confrontational. I recommend anywhere else in grande prairie and the keg blows the sawmill out of the water in every category especially customers service and food quality. I will do my best to avoid sawmill and prevent any event I am a part of booking reservations here.
@Sawmill Thanks Sawmill for ruining my parents date night. The fact that they lost the reservation seat over the crowd. It didn't bother me at all but was a bit disappointed. Told our parents not to eat anything for dinner cause we have set them a reservation at sawmill. They should have enough time to call me and tell us the situation so that we can generate something but no. They waited for my parents to come to their building just to tell them they are full? When I asked them to just have the food ordered and we will take it home instead and the only thing I was told is " the kitchen will be confused if I do that". First of all it's not my problem cause I'm already frustrated as a customer. The fact that they are not trying anything to help the situation irritates me so much and I was open with solution but they just continue to disappoint me more. I even called during my work hours almost everyday just to keep in check and to make sure that when tongith comes it will run smoothly but not a single word from them that the reservation I have will mean nothing. Why do we still book anyways . Thank you so much Sawmill. Thank you.
Nice place good food
I think it is the only good place in town to eat good food
Nice place and food
Everything about this place was amazing, service was good food was fantastic the ambiance was perfect, have been back more than a couple time and going again asap
Service
Well my wife and I used to love coming for Sunday brunch at the sawmill... used to but not for $35 it was expensive enough as it was before! Guess we will be finding a new brunch spot as someone is obviously getting greedy!! We were there every other Sunday if not every Sunday! ????????????????
Would not order from here for delivery. They make drivers wait up to 30 minutes past stated pickup time and staff could care less that drivers are losing money. Very poor service
Mediocre at best! $43 New York Strip ..... steak was thin and over cooked. I asked for rare but waitress talked me into medium rare and it came medium well at best and Luke warm. Side was stuffed horseradish bacon baked potato which would have been fabulous if it was hot, but just kinda warm, wouldn’t have melted any butter that’s for sure. Veggies were over cooked, watery and Luke warm as well! Waitress never asked how meal was or I would have shared. Asked for a Slow gin fizz for a drink the waitress looked at me like I was from another planet and did not check with bartender to see if they could make this. Can’t say how disappointed I was after truly looking forward to a great meal at a nice restaurant.
It's always the best steak,nice atmosphere and the staff are amazing
Food and drinks were delicious. Hockey game playing on the screens. Great atmosphere!
Amazing place. Very informed servers. A lot of options depending on your mood
Slow service for a less than half full restaurant. Reuben sandwich was good as was Undecided. Dome Dessert was good but chocolate dome tasted like melting wafers and not chocolate.
Best service in the city hands down.
They have really stepped up food presentation. Had a table of 8 and everyone enjoyed the meal.
Good steak in gp
Was not pleased with the service
By far my favourite place to eat. Can't afford it very often but when I can it is amazing!
Great food and service. Love eating here
They have prime rib in there name and they were out...other than that great atmosphere
Friendly staff, great food.
Love everything just be careful if you have food allergies staff don't care.
Service was nice...husbands prime rib was good....my chicken Alfredo left a lot to be desired. Wouldn't choose to eat here again, unless I REALLY wanted steak.
Prime Rib awesome, tasty, service awesome as well, great Waiter, very pleasant manners
Steaks are melt in your mouth
Tried to go here for my anniversary last night.... came in no one greeted us waited 10 minutes and never even got seated. A group came in after we waited 10 minutes and a waitress immediately came to seat them completely ignoring us and the fact that we were clearly there before them. We left and had a MUCH better experience at the Office, I suggest if you are looking for a decent steak house with decent service do NOT go to Sawmill.
Food - excellent as usual, service in the bar area, not so much
The place looked clean and the escargot was decent. Filet mignon was overcooked / way over seasoned and the lobster was dry. Waitress was.... uninvolved (I'm being kind). Thoroughly not impressed. I will not be back.
Absolutely Great Food and Service, our hostess was Amazing
I only rated it 2 stars because the food was good. The service at the bar was absolutely terrible. There was about 3 people ordering food and about 3 others ordering drinks and playing VLTs. I ordered an Iced tea which was a typical tall class you have in your own cupboard at home, but it had about 6 giant scoops of iced tea powder. Then i waited about 20 minutes before I rudely asked for water, meanwhile the bartender was on her phone and completely ignored the guy to my left who ended up waited 30 minutes for another beer. My friend beside me had told the bartender to stay close because he was pounding back drinks. In which he did. But there was 20 minute gaps between his drinks because her focus was on her phone instead of the 3 customers in the entire restraunt. Management should really get rid of the girl who doesnt appreciate her job. She also recieved a 2 dollar tip for her terrible attitude too on our 150$ bill.
Service
Alright food, staff lacks a bit. Nothing different or anything that stands out...
Good place good food
Excellent Service and great food. Best Steakhouse in Grande Prairie. Our server Melissa is easily one of the best in town!
Dine in
Ordered the cod filets, fish & chips. Great food. Missing the Malta vinegar though! Not a big deal.
The service was terrible. Server MISSED two of our appetizers. And came back 3 times to ask about our starch option for our entre's. I never did ask about my appetizer. Also when asked to split bill in half, half of 220 is not 65. But the food I did recieve was good.
Great atmosphere with good service. Food was good although my cut of steak was a bit tough.
Loved their Sunday Brunch!
I like the brunch options and having a nice evening out here!
Nice quiet lunch, service was excellent.
Delicious food and amazing sunday brunch. Kind of pricey though
Amazing food, amazing service!
Great food and nice atmosphere
Nice place to bring family and friends for dinner. Love the food and service. Top shelf
The food was ok, the service was good.
Really good steak!
Foods great but if you are comparing to the keg. The legs steaks are juicier but the sawmill has that steak sauce that's soooo good
Never had a good meal there yet
Service
The staff are amazing,the food is worth the price. It's a little pricy but its it's worth every cent, would recommendto any of my family and freinds.
Amazing food, great special, the server was knowledgeable , and it seemed like most people that work there have been there for years ! Great manager as well .
Had an excellent ribeye, one of the best I've had in a restaurant. Paige was our server and did a wonderful job looking after us.
Dine in
I’ve ate at restaurants all across Canada an I must say this was the worst yet. Waited 10-15 minutes for a beer then another 10 before we seen our server again after ordering our food it was about an hour before we seen it, just pathetic I highly recommend going anywhere else for a meal before stopping here. I’ve never felt like I should leave a review but after the terrible experience at sawmill tonight I will definitely not be returning and people should be aware before going
Amazing food and service. Basically the best service in GP.
Awesome Customer service! Food was excellent Very homey atmosphere.
Went on steak n lobster Monday. Lobster was terrible. Some how my medium rare steak was dry. Service was top notch tho. Maybe it was a bad night. Cause I've heard good things.
The food and service was amazing
High prices and not so great menu items
Excellent food and service!
Great meal. The dessert tasted blah though.
The hostess at the front door should not be in the service industry as she has no idea how to treat paying customers. If she is the face of the restaurant then good luck. Can not wait until the competition is up and running again.
Went with a group of friends, they took good care of us! Great night!
Good value with half price wine on Wednesday
I really enjoy eating here. They have incredible Yorkshire puddings
Great for quite dinner dates. Awesome food.
Had the new Salmon and Beet salad. Get it, eat it, you will thank me later, just watch out, the Beets are uber juicy so your pee will be red that's a George Foreman guarantee. But it's as big and as filling as a full entree, and the price is right (about $17 IIRC).
The food was delicious, service was good and it had a good atmosphere. Worth the visit!
Absolute favorite restaurant in Grande Prairie to dine at. From the staff to the meals, the experience has always been pleasant. I generally order the prime rib with lobster and it arrives cooked to my perfection. I salivate just thinking about it lol
Wow, that seems like it is really expensive. The food is good and the service is good, but it seems like a lot for what you get.
Food is very good but it is super expensive.
We went into dukes to plan a birthday party for one of the people I support. This man has dreamed to have his birthday at Dukes for a very long time. When he went in to set it up he got turned away saying it is not the right fit for him and they do not cater to people like him. This man is a very nice man who happens to have a disability. Going to this restaurant would be supporting discrimination at its worst!!! I will never set foot into dukes ever again and I dont suggest anyone else does either.
Walked in, waited 15 mins exactly. Nobody to great us and nobody sat us down. Left hungry
Love the new menu. Favorite place in town to dine
Love their food. Staff is very attentive and very accomodating.
Dinner
Boy that was a great meal. Escargot was a little cool but tasted amazing. Yorkshires that come with the prime rib are huge. Very full. Pricey, of course, but this is where you go to treat yourself or someone else. No valid complaints about anything. Slipping into food coma now.
Over charged but corrected food very good service excellent but pricey
Always great service and fantastic prime rib
Awsome staff great food
Great food, welcoming staff
Best ribs you will ever eat and
Usually no comaints but went on a monday night for the lobster special noone at the front counter so we went into the lounge only to be told snobily by the bar server the kitchen closed early because it was slow 9 pm ... really on your specialty night ? Cmon.
Went to celebrate my wife and my birthday, very pricey and the food was disappointing to say the least
The customer service, atmosphere, and food choices are awesome!!
Sunday brunch buffet is most ausome !
Beef is their specialty and it is excellent value. Above average portions of attractively served and cooked vegetables. Yorkshire pudding biggest ever seen. Enjoyed server. Polite.
Great food,great service.
Food was warm, not hot, over-priced and the lobster may have well been rubber.
Meal type
Great food exallant service
We have been to the Sawmill twice and it is our favourite restaurant. The ambience is quiet and intimate, the food is beyond amazing, and the service is perfect. When you decide to go out for supper and spend a little more on something spectacular, the Sawmill is the place to go. We live 2 hours outside of Gp but we gladly travel that far to have an amazing dining experience. It does not disappoint!
The meal was excellent. We were in a group that shared several appetizers which were all delicious. My steak was cooked perfectly, and the desserts were made in house rather than shipped in. To add to the positive experience we also had an exceptional server named Kacidy. We love it here and will continue visiting.
Amazing staff and food, without a doubt the best kept secret in GP!!!
The service was fantastic here. Food was good, a bit pricey though. Very cozy atmosphere. The steak was on point. I think a bit more variety on the dessert menu would be nice, but it was delicious.
Good food somethings better than others of corse. Service was sub par also its very expensive for what you get. The brunch buffet if really good if its fresh but again very expensive.
Normally really good. Everything seemed just a little off this particular night. Not terrible but just a little off.
Went for the brunch food was ok but Pricey
Quiet and private place to eat delicious food. This is a great place to come on a date. I don’t think I have ever been to a restaurant that so eloquently describes what makes thier food different. They are an Alberta company that uses only the highest quality Alberta beef.
100% exactly what I hoped/expected. Been at camp for 7 weeks str8. Time 2 head 4 flavour town. Ribs...O.m.g HELLO! Nice wine selection. Top shelf service. What more can ya ask for.
Cordonbluie was amazing. My girl got the Korean BBQ, delicious, highly recomemd it.
Had the lemon chicken... it was sub par chinese food!! Not what i expected at all
The whole 2 stars goes to the kitchen staff for some truly amazing food. Unfortunately, all else was terrible - we were seated and not given menus and then it took quite a bit if time to have our orders taken. Then my colleague only received half if her app + half of her main dish - the other half if the main dish was missed and so was her dessert. We received the bill for her full 3 course meal and asked the waitress to edit based on ehat we received and she didn't even realize that we didn't get what we ordered, she just removed the extra items. At this pretty classy restaurant, is expect much more in the way of service.
So good. Food was awesome. Service awesome. Margarita to die for.
I visit Grande Prairie for work twice a year and i stay down town so i can walk over to thw Sawmill at least once during my visit, the prime rib is consistently good but its the wonderful servers that keep me coming back. travelling solo is always boring so a nice smile and pleasent personality goes a long way. The lounge has lots of Tv's too so thats a plus
Enjoyed every minute while we thete
Everything was great the Sunday breakfast was amazing just wish the seafood was warm
The best steakhouse in grande prairie.good food and good service.Brunch is awesome.
My birthday dinner, server was a lovely young lady from Nova Scotia, food and drink were fantastic, exactly what I was looking for in a steak house
Food is always delicious! And the waitress we manage to get in the lounge everytime is absolutely amazing, friendly and always has a smile on her face!
Arrived after 8:30pm so not many people there. It took 45 minutes to get our food for three of us. The place was almost empty once we got our food. Once it came the pasta dish was stacked on a second plate because it had been under the hot plate so long that the server couldn't even carry it. Servings were small. Disappointing. Will not visit again.
Food was delicious, call me cheap, but I found it a little pricy
Great food . Good size portions. Cant wait to go back.
The food is awesome in the waiters are good looking
Went for dinner with my wife. We both ordered our steaks medium rare. Hers came well done and mine came medium-well. I expected more from a place like this at least as far as preparing steaks goes.
Impressed with the staff but never really impressed with the food here for the price you pay, steak hasn't been out of this world in my honest opinion and can find better in town. Staff has always been fun and helpful regardless though.
Food and staff are amazing, I will definitely recommend eating here. I'm very picky and even I ate everything on my plate. 5 stars all day long
Food was good expect lobster I find was a little over cooked and the service was decent
Excellent food and service - can't miss with the Sawmill
Appetizers are amazing! Their steaks are the best especially with their house steak sauce. Solid selection of drinks, and an amazing atmosphere! Have been many times and never a disappointment.
Delicious food and great atmosphere. Nice big portions with lots of flavor. Restaurant is clean and our server was very attentive and provided great service. However, took a long time for the food to arrive even though the restaurant wasn't packed.
Friendly, excellent service. Delicious food. Thank you!
I always order meat dishes here and the quality of beef steak and lamb is really really good. Staff really kind and professional.5 stars without any doubt.
The escargot were cold. The steak was amazi gly good. The green beans were very good if ever so slightly overdone. The service was very good. I would probably go back.
The food and waitress was great..
Steak was soo delicious
Decided to try it but was utterly disappointed. We walked in, waited then seated ourselves as no one attended to us. We waited for almost 15 minutes before deciding to walk out. The place not at all busy. As we were walking out the staff all 6 of them were still busy chatting at the front to each other. They did not even acknowledge us. WE NEVER WENT BACK.
Excellent service, excellent food! I tried to eat two 16oz prime ribs and failed - probably could have done the 12oz! - but not for lack of trying, as the steak, veg, potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding were all superb! I'll definitely be back - but only for one meal next time, haha.
Went for dinner with a party of 8. It took over 2.5 hrs for dinner. I appreciate it was New Years day. But if I was the Manager I would be embarrassed. No one was offered drinks as the party arrived. We were given menus than left. Our drink orders were taken with our food order. Not even water was offered at this point. It just went down hill from there including not being told if an allergy was accommodated or not. We had to ask for refills on water & Pop. I was never offered a second highball. The vegtables as the side were cold, unseasoned & just generally unpalatable. We definitely won't be back
Good food, that one guy is also pretty cool
Very good service the food was great.
Great food and most of all awesome service!
Food was ok. Over priced. Nice place to take someone you want to impress.
Pricey but the food was great as well the service
The staff at the Grande Prairie Sawmill are fantastic! Everytime we go we get seated and served immediately. The servers are very pleasnt to be around, and the food is always delicious.
Great tomahawk steak was Soo good
Great place for a date
Amazing food, absolutely love the prime rib. Been eating here for many years and it's always been consistent, if not getting even better than it already is. Service is also great, friendly staff, restaurant looks beautiful inside both the dining room and lounge, it's hard to choose which side to eat at sometimes.
The service is Good, the food is never disappointing, and the atmosphere is relaxing
Great food and service
Loved the place, food is ok But was shocked when they asked for More tip after we gave them like 8$ i think thats rude!!! - apparently the cook gets 5% automatically out of the total bill from the tips, sucks for the server if you dont tip at all... Cuz now the server has to pay out of her / his own pocket to the cook.., wth?!? Wont come here again just because of that reason...
Amazing service and food!!!! Pricey but so worth it
Dinner
Went for their Sunday brunch! Omg soooooo good! I highly recommend going! Love it and the service was great too!
great steaks, enjoy.
Awesome service, nice atmosphere. Gotta have the prime rib, served any which way. The prime rib pot roast is excellent! If your cravin' ribs, there's a big plate of them. Lots of food for your money!! Walked out stuffed and VERY pleased! Enjoy!
Excellent food and staff
Not friendly, never asked if we wanted anything and tended to new customers even though I was at the bar first
The food is consistently great with good service. The steaks aren't as salty as The Keg. I prefer the flavour of Sawmill to the Keg.
Came for a Sunday brunch with a few friends. The cost is a bit much compares to other restaurant brunches I have been to. And when u have more than 6 or 8 people at a table, you will be charged the tip right on your bill. Even if that group pays seperately. I can understand it on a regular day, but on a Brunch, where the customer helps themselves out. Anyways, ill still come back and try the signature steak...on of these days :)
We have been there 4 times. And the food was and service was just outstanding. You can not get better than that.
We were in on a Monday for the Steak and Lobster special. Excellent supper at a great price. Great service and friendly staff.
Service
Great place to go for a nice dinner. French onion soup was fantastic, the ribeye was cooked perfectly. Had the Brussels and peppercorn sauce with the steak as well. Will definitely go again. Get the flight of beers, you will not be disappointed.
Staff was friendly. Steak was cooked perfect, very clean restaurant. Would definitely go again.
Amazing Lunch and great service. No complaints.
not the best menu but the staff is great, I loved Karol my server she was excellent and took great care of me.
Dine in
Amazing prime rib and steak
Decent food. Went for dinner at 8 and the place was dead so good service! I've also had the Sunday buffet that is about 30$ a plate but largest selection in Grande Prairie by far. Hot and fresh tasting !
Amazing Food, Lovely Lux Steakhouse Setting. Could use a bit more styling but thats a minority.
Don't know if there is new management but I ordered curbside pickup as I just got off work. They said to call when I arrived which I did and took forever to just say your order is ready was on hold for 10 minutes so I went in and waiting another 10 minutes. The manager almost yelled at the worker as he thought I didn't pay as he was handing me the bag. I went home opened the steaks and saw hair on my food and was turned off. They agreed to replace the steaks instead of a refund or gift card as I'm turned off now. So I said no they weren't apologetic and made it sound like I planted the hair on my food. I'm in customer service and know how to treat others.
I live next door I will not eat in it. Yuck!! I think they help dirty rcmp. I wont step foot inside.
Fantastic service and amazing food! Great wine list too!
The tomahawk steak is a must try!
Staff were friendly, caring and professional! Food was prepared to perfection! We had surf and turf and it was awesome! We will definitely be back! Quiet atmosphere for a special evening!
The Sawmill is the perfect place for anything from a first date to an anniversary. Or have a seat in the lounge with the crew after work. Outstanding service and food, every time. Best steak in town, as well as the biggest. Try the 42 ounce Tomahawk steak for a price you WILL NOT regret. It's picture worthy.
Awesome food
Paige, Abby and Katie Rock!!!! The Chicken Cordon Bleu was awesome.
Terrible service and food came very late.
Hands down the best food we have experienced here was tonight , in a long time ! Keep up the great job , everyone from the waitress to the cook ! Fabulous guys ! Thank you
Best Sunday brunch ever!
The meal was amazing, service superb, and desert outstanding. My only complaint is parking, parking is a bit tight to get into and out of, but for a downtown restaurant it is understandable.
Delicious food. Fabulous waitress.
Best steak in gp. Nice quiet atmosphere. Personalized service.
My most favourite restaurant in town. Eating out isn't cheap, and when you save money to eat out you want to make sure that you get your money's worth. The Sawmill does not disappoint in service or food. Awesome.
Good food good drinks excellent service
Awesome prime rib! The 12oz is actually pretty decent size. Service wasn't quite there when we arrived at 5pm as the restaurant wasn't quite ready for business. Simple things like bread took like 20 minutes to show up. Having said this, the prime rib was so good that we will likely return.
Excellent meal, excellent service. Will definatley be going back. Prime rib was fantastic. Friend had a rib eye and it was fab as well.
Excellent food with great service and a relaxing atmosphere.
Awesome food!!! great Xmas party.
Excellent service and the prime rib melted in your mouth so tender.
Fantastic food, sooooo delicious
