Great food and service. Haven’t visited before but will definitely come again. Waitress never let our water run out and food was on point.

Service was a little lacking, to be fair we did show up with a few other tables at the same time and the were slammed. The food was great and we were pleasantly surprised compared to our last experience at an Edmonton location. We will return!

Always had great service and food here but until I had to cancel 4 hours prior to a 15 person reservation because the 83 yr old birthday boy was sick. Got the guilt trip from George saying the table was ready and had extra staff coming. Was that necessary ?

Service was great, food was fantastic! We were excited to find out that the sawmill was still there after finding some had closed. We will definitely be back! ( Bonus: was able to buy some of the steak sauce which seems to have disappeared from stores!!)

The food I received this visit to the sawmill was terrible. The Prime Rib is chewy and grainy, the ribs had this awful taste. The garlic mashed potatoes were great which is the only credit I can give them for food. I come here pay 150$ and it’s horrendous for that price Atmosphere was nice, server was great, but fix your kitchen!! I come here rarely and every time it’s been worse and worse. I refuse to come here anymore with this in mind.

Servers friendly and accommodating immediately upon arrival. Rib steak was cooked perfect, staff and manager very friendly and attentive. Several check up’s throughout the meal. Came back again the next day and everything was great.

★★★

This place is charming and service is very hospitable, the food tastes good and the drinks were nice. Steak and sawmill sauce was amazing. Plating was not the most pleasing and portion size and price left one wanting when comparing with others like the Keg Earls chop house ect. could have had 1/2 my meal packed up another drink and desert and paid same price.

I attended a Chamber on Tap Chamber of Commerce event here. The food provided was incredible. Unfortunately 8 previously had a negative impression of Sawmill from a different location I had been to, but these location COMPLETELY changed my mind. I will definitely be returning here. Not only was the food incredible, but the service top notch. Even when the servers had briefly disappeared and I got up looking for a refill on my cider, the restaurant manager (I think?) immediately, without hesitation, came to my rescue and brought me a drink right to my table. I appreciate when a manager isn't too "important" to do such tasks. Anyway, I sincerely look forward my next visit, and doing so will be a very high priority for me.

Food was fantastic, unfortunately the staff were not to the quality and speed were accustom to at the Sawmill. We were a large group of 12 and most of the food was hot, but I think they were understaffed for a Thursday night. It actually took over an hour just to get our bills not to mention the wait time between courses. Being a big group we had no choice but to still HAVING to pay the 18% gratuity...very unfair to us as customers and the staff for not having the support.

Our waitress, Taylor, was the best, and we had lots of fun with her. My food was sub-par, considering the price. My vegetables were cold, the steak was OK, but a little overdone. I miss the baked potato option on the menu. My husband says his prime rib was good, and the best part of his meal was the fingerlings. Food : 3/5

Have been to Sawmills in the past and loved them. This sawmill was entirely underwhelming. As a party of four, not one of us enjoyed our meals or appetizers. The server was pleasant but clearly not informed on the menu. The Caesar salad was actually pretty good.

★★★

Sad to say menus were sticky and on a Sat night at 8:45 in the dining room they started putting chairs on tables while we were still eating. Had arrived at 7:45. And it isn t a big dining room. When I asked why they said getting ready for Sunday brunch!! What the heck. Don t go on a Sat night!! Bad news.

Came in for Sunday prime rib. Found out they were sold out. Ordered something else. ( did shrinkflation hit the restaurants too) ordered the top sirloin 10z and my daughter did the 7oz. 7oz was the size of a baby fist. And half of mine. Brought it up and was told thats the way it is. 34.00 was so not worth it. You get more beef on a whopper. Desserts were the same issue. Sold out. On a couple. Likely try the keg next time. Too expensive for what ya get now Update. Sent email to below address 3 weeks ago and never heard back from anyone. Likely just a canned reply to show a little concern

The restaurant has a great location. The lobby is large and inviting. The dining room was full so our group of seven was seated in the lounge. The lounge had a cozy and rich decor and the seating was comfortable. Our server, Elise, was excellent! She knew the food menu and was very proficient with the drink selections. The food was reasonably priced, made to order, and very tasty. Everyone enjoyed the selection and commented on how good it tasted. I highly recommend this place and wish I lived closer to visit again.

Great atmosphere, wonderful staff but food was a big let down. Was surprised at how low the pricing was given the ambience but was disappointed when it arrived. Would put the steak in line with a pretty good steak at a chain restaurant. For a historic steakhouse I was really disappointed, steak bites used scrappy cuts that were overcooked, French onion soup was a big wad of bread and not much cheese, calamari was in line with other restaurants. The chocolate dome was fun and pretty good but quite expensive. Seems a little over rated for what you get.

The manager at the front counter outright lied to us about the restaurant being busy which it was not. Had he had the spine to just say there was a dress code it would not have been an issue. We had no problem being in the bar. The waitress was great but I do not appreciate management lying to me. Wont be back ever again because of 2 reasons. 1) The food quality has rapidly declined and customer service does not exist if you dont look rich. Go there and test it. Youll see it first hand. But prices are still plenty high. 2) The Sawmill does it better and doesnt expect you to dress like a suit. They are also very a lot more familiar with having managers who know what customer service is and dont just expect the rich to keep them afloat. The Keg has taken what used to be a good brand name and ran it into the ground with incredibly bad customer service and declining food quality. My meal was good but it also looked like it could have been made in a cafeteria. I bet he made 100 plates exactly the same with no care to any of them. Perhaps your rich clientele will keep you busy, but you will lose all the real people.

Our bill was also relatively affordable, considering how much things everywhere have gone up in price lately. We will definitely be keeping Sawmill on the roster for future date nights.

The atmosphere and staff are on point keeping a prober whisky selection pared with delicious appetizers and filling mains. However Your meal comes with a side what side would you like? I d like this side. That will cost extra is that ok? Do all sides cost extra? Yes If the main comes with a side why is it costing extra? The experience was on point yet the price for items a bit much. I wish their recipe for a bottle of Saw Mill steak sauce still offered a free appetizer.

While the server was very nice, we were very disappointed with how management delt with a bad meal. Ordered a brisket which was not only unusually fatty for a brisket, it was extremely tough,chewy and 90% fat. Would have been satisfied with an offer of new cut or plate but instead was offered a free dessert... which when your hungry doesnt mean much. Essential paid 40 bucks for mashed potatoes.. thanks Spruce Grove Sawmill wont be back. Edit : manger reached out to rectify the experience and was very nice about it. Much appreciated.

The meat was not tasteful and the twice baked potatoe was extremely dry. The upgrade of a Iceberg salad was a joke. Sorry but thats how I felt as well as the rest of my family.

December 23, 2023

My Grandma recently went to Sawmill in Stony Plain for a special occasion with family and was thoroughly embarrassed by the manager and one of the waitresses. The waitress decided that my Grandma didn t tip her enough and she got the manager involved. After pulling her aside and saying out loud that the money she tipped wasn t enough for her service, my Grandma ended up tipping more money and then went to her car very upset after being pressured to give more money for service that wasn t that great to begin with. My Grandma tips very well even for mediocre service and for the manager to think that they can dictate how much their customers tip is appalling and infuriating. And then to do this to my 70 something year old Grandma. My family has been supporting this restaurant for years and I guarantee you we will NOT be back after this. Disappointing.

Went first time recently and after ordering my New York steak as a medium rare I received a medium. The waitress herself noticed just as I was starting to cut into it that it came out medium instead. She immediately was on it and offered to get it replaced with a proper one before I had really enough time to mention it. They replaced all of the items on my plate with a brand new plate and replaced any add ons I had. After that I had a lovely and filling dinner. Waitress earned her tip for sure.

A few months ago we went here and had a reservation and got there on time and then had to wait a while for our table which was fine but they did not have a table big enough for the 5 of us which didn t make sense, what is the point of a reservation? they made us sit in a booth for 4 people and put a chair at the end of the table and there was not enough room for all of the plates. Late we got moved but it took a while. Then we tried to come here again and wanted to have a nice dinner for my father s birthday and we were all looking forward to it but we were not helped for a while at first nobody came to take our order, no water refills for a while. Then we ordered and waited almost an hour for our food and nobody apologized for the wait. Then when our food did come my fries were not even hot, they were hardly warm, lukewarm at most. I was quite disappointed we waited that long and the fries were not even hot. I ve recieved better fries at mcdonald s! They at least ensure the fries are warm. I felt like I had been served old fries. If I have to wait that long I wouldn t mind if i could get food that was a good temperature. So much for having a nice birthday dinner! Then after all this, when paying the server stood so close watching us pay as if to see if we were going to leave a tip. I ve worked in the restaurant business before and I thought it was common sense to not watch someone so closely as they are paying, especially after bad service to expect a tip? Will not be returning to this location and I will be telling my friends to avoid this location.

Horribly rude and disrespectful host staff. We went in to find the rest of our party who had already been seated, and were immediately approached and sneered at by the hostess, demanding that we need a reservation. We said we did and they clearly didnt believe us until we said who the name was under, then they decided to treat us with the slightest bit of respect. Horrible experience on fathers day, we wont be back. Do yourself a favour and go to the Mr. Mikes across the street.

We had a really good experience last night, Thursday, when we went to the Sawmill for our anniversary supper. Thursdays are a great night, since we found out they offer half price bottles of wine and half price wings. I also ordered a martini with three olives and it was perfect. We ordered the fig and goat cheese appy and a plate of wings and they were both hot and very tasty. Mains were the chicken oscar and I had the salmon bowl. Both were very well plated and hot. Our anniversary allowed us free deserts so because we were full and taking a doggie bag of food with us, they allowed the deserts to go also. The service was great in the lounge and there are lots of TVs up high that you can see from all angles. We will be back!

We were there with a party of 25. The wait staff didnt mix up anyones order. The tables were prepared well in advance, including a kids table. The steak was the best Ive ever eaten! Kid-friendliness: The kids table had coloring placemats and crayons laid out before we arrived. The kids were treated with respect.

Made reservations for a 73 rd birthday. It was good courtesy over thr phone when booking. My server was great, and manager ch3cked in frequently. The food was ok, some dishes were good, others some improvement could have been upgraded to be better. The scallops were a bit rubbery, prime rib excellent, undecided dishes, the stuff mash potatoes burnt, baked beans too sweet, ribs were cold. very dark in the restaurant, lighting could have been better.

I ordered take out fish and mashed potatoes,roasted peppers tomato soup, and bacon wrapped scallops and coffee with sugar for my father in law . No cutlery napkins and no coffee. fish is not crispy and bland,the soup is too salty and coleslaw is too sweet. I noticed while Im waiting at the reception area theres no person to greet the guest. definitely not gonna order again. Parking: not enough space between cars.

December 23, 2023

Horrible experience. Please don t waste your hard earned money going here. Quality of food - awful Vegetables weren t cooked. Gravy felt like it was days old. Pasta was crunchy and cheese wasn t even melted on properly. Service. - awful. Our waitress literally shouted at us every time she came to the table We barely sat down and she shouted asking what we were wanting Or do we need more time . Usually a few minutes would be the norm. And overpriced doesn t even cut it. 12$ for a soggy brown Cesar salad. You work hard for your money. Don t spend it here!

December 23, 2023

I ordered takeout - prime rib. I ve ordered this before with no issues. It s always done to perfection. This time the prime rib was well done, veggies were undercooked. I called the next day to talk with a supervisor/ manager. I did not want a refund, I was looking for a discount on my next order, which would have been the same thing. The person I spoke with said he needed to do some investigating so see what happened, took my number and said he ll call back in a few hours. It s been 2 days now with no response. I am now looking for a new restaurant to order prime rib.

I havent been to sawmill in so long since it shut down in the city. Sawmill was always my most favourite restaurant to go too. Since moving into spruce grove I was thrilled to find out there was a sawmill in stony plain. By golly jee was I excited!! I think sawmill has way better steak than the keg and I was so happy that this sawmill makes it just as delcious as I remembered. I cannot wait to go back already. The mushroom crab caps are also to die for!! The service was so great as well. Thank you for still being open and still being the best. I hope it stays that way !

My family and I come to the stony plain location often. It is the best steak you can get in the spruce/stony area. Food is fairly consistent with the exception of the onion soup which could be improved upon - the cheese seems to be disappearing more and more every visit. The workers are all pleasant except for one that heavily pushes alcoholic drinks. However, our overall experience is always pleasant and we will continue to dine here.

Just terrible over a hour for food then comes cold. Manager apparently scared to deal with this and wouldnt come back to our table. Then has the audacity to say he dealt with it. This man should chose a profession out of the customer service industry. I would never come back to this place. Felt so bad for the server who was excellent. Another table beside us left before food arrived because it took so long.

Came to the sawmill for the first time tonight. Restaurant was not very busy and pretty sure we were our waitresses only table and it took forever for our order to be taken. My husband ordered a beer and she forgot to ring in it, she was not very attentive, our meal was cold, we wanted to send it back but she didn t come check on us till we were almost finished and We didn t want to wait any longer to send it back..

The food was good. My complaint is that it was my birthday dinner and I mentioned it was my birthday on the reservation as well as to my waitress and she just gave me a blank stare. I overheard two other people celebrating birthdays nearby and they were greeted very warmly and made to feel special which my waitress couldn t even make a single effort. Fast forward to time to pay, my boyfriend had a gift card for 200 dollars and she just didn t know how to use it and we ended up paying the 300 dollar bill because we were in a hurry. I don t understand how a waitress can just shrug her shoulders and just say she doesn t know how. I feel for the money we paid, we could have gotten a better experience somewhere else. I m truly disappointed.

The Sawmill has always been an amazing dining experience, I celebrated my 18th birthday at a location in Edmonton many many years ago. My husband surpised me for my 50th birthday by taking me to The Sawmill in Stony Plain. After 32yrs it was just as fabulous if not better than I remember. When we arrived we were taken to our table and he had arranged for a stunning bouqet of flowers to be on the table for me Our server was nothing short of perfect!! She was Very friendly, attentive, and had a smile the whole time. The the food was amazing! I was so surprised at how fast the kitchen put out the food. We had crab stuffed mushrooms that were to die for. They had so much flavor, cooked to perfection! We both had the Prime Rib with shrimp skewers. It was just as good if not better then I remembered. It was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The red skinned garlic mashed potatoes were to die for and surprisingly the veggies were cooked perfect and had delicious flavor!! I was pleased to see full plates. They have not scaled back serving size like many other places have in recent times. Because It was my birthday I received a desert on the house. I ordered the Baileys Brule. It was to die for!!! A perfect finish to our meal. It was light yet the flavor was unbelievable!! I love how they still have the old pictures and huge saws on the Walls. It was one of the best dining experiences we have had in a very long time! I would recommend this restaurant and location to anyone looking for a romantic, quiet dinner. I can not saw enough good things! Its is a must if you havent been here before.

Reservation. At 715, seated for 7 people, we ordered our meal within 10 minutes of sitting, received our appetizers fairly quickly, probably by 735, french onion soup and beet salad, salad was great onion soup was tasty but not hot. Then we waited for our 4 steaks...and waited, and waited, the server came over at 8 and asked, so can I interest anyone in dessert? We told her that we havent even received our mains yet, then she said oh no, Ill see what happened, then we watched her go to 3 other tables before going back to the kitchen. 815 she brought out the serving tray saying they were just plating it. It wasnt until 840 before the steaks came out, 2 of which were cooked well and 2 were over cooked. We ate them anyways because it had already been too long and the kids were hungry. The food itself was good, aside from steak being overcooked. Flavour was still nice. Server barely came by to check on us and it wasnt until time to pay where she struck up a conversation, I dont know if it was intentional but it always feels fake when a server is nice when its time to pay. Where was that niceness throughout the meal. Overall food is good, just really disappointed in the delay of service and obviously just missing our order completely.

I never give bad reviews. This situation was terrible. Our food took close to two hours. It then came out cold and dry. We were having a great time though and werent bothered by it. Rather than offering any kindness or comping a round of drinks, or at the very least taking the steak off the bill that was returned (a decison was made not to reorder since it took so long the first time) the manager took away the 18% gratuity from the server. Which is an absolutely terrible way of dealing with the situation and made us all very upset. They were short staffed. That was in no way her fault. She did a good job and of course we took care of her. When we tried to talk to the manager, he yelled at my sister and told her if she didnt like the way it was handled to leave. The manager is a disgrace. I feel terrible for the people that work there.

December 23, 2022

We were a group of about 14 and had made a reservation prior to dining. Upon arrival, the lobby smelled strongly of urine. After ordering, we waited almost 2 hours for our food to arrive. After eating our mostly cold food, we asked the manager whether something could be done to compensate for the unacceptable delay and cold food. He offered only to remove the 18% gratuity from the servers, who were excellent and deserved a substantial tip. In a one-on-one conversation with the manager, one of our party expressed that we were not OK with the offer to penalize the servers for the understaffed restaurants inability to deliver our meals in a reasonable amount of time. In response, he raised his voice and yelled You listen to me! Youre free to leave! No measure was ultimately taken to compensate our party for the unsatisfactory experience. I will never dine at a Sawmill ever again. It was worst dining experience Ive ever had. This manager should be fired and blacklisted from customer service.
