Timberline Grill — Local services in Black Hawk

As one ventures into the world of Blackhawk, known for its dazzling casinos and the allure of luck, Timberline Steakhouse stands as a delightful contrast to the whirring slot machines and card tables. It's a culinary haven where the gamble isn't on the menu, but rather in choosing what to savor from their exquisite selection.

During my visit, I placed my bet on the A5 Japanese Wagyu steak, a decision that paid off handsomely. For the uninitiated, A5 is the highest grade given to Japanese Wagyu, a breed of cattle renowned for its rich marbling and tender texture. This marbling not only enhances flavor but also ensures a melt-in-the-mouth experience, much like hitting the jackpot on a lucky spin.

The Wagyu steak at Timberline was a masterclass in flavor and texture. Seared to perfection, it balanced the richness of the fat with a delicate, beefy taste that was both luxurious and grounding. It was a symphony of taste, each bite reminding me why Wagyu, especially of the A5 grade, is held in such high esteem.

Timberline's ambiance and service were on par with its food, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere away from the clatter of chips and the shuffle of decks. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the meal was tailored to perfection.

In summary, while Blackhawk might be a place to roll the dice, dining at Timberline Steakhouse is a guaranteed win. Their A5 Wagyu is not just a meal; it's an experience that stays with you long after the last bite. Whether you're riding high from the tables or looking to indulge in a sure thing, Timberline is a bet you'll be...

I had high expectations for this restaurant, I really did. Unfortunately, they did not pan out well. For starters, my partner and I ordered soup. I got the French Onion and he got the Lobster Bisque. Both were mediocre at best. The flavor of the French onion soup was not very robust. For an expensive soup I expect more. My partner and I tried switching soups and I couldn't stand the texture of the lobster bisque because it was thick and had a very fishy flavor. For the main course my partner had a steak and I had the Mushroom Bolognese. He said his steak was like a King Soopers cut and he could get that at the store and cook it himself. My biggest disappointment was in my entree. It was described as having pasta with mushrooms and some other pieces of vegetables. What it turned out to be was that but not the way it was described. The mushrooms were chopped up into a tiny pate form which I found disgusting. I scraped off the whole thing and just ate the pasta. The vegetables that they claimed were included were sprinkled around the outside sparingly. Needless to say, I paid a lot of money for a plate of pasta. Honestly, I get really sick of restaurants failing to know how to make a vegetarian option for their guests. I understand that the focus is not on the vegetarian when you are offering steak, however, many people who do not eat meat a lot (or at all) get dragged into a steak restaurant with their friends or family. It's important to try to create something that appeals to those people even if that's not your focus. I think for that kind of money the Timberline Grill at Ameristar can do...

This was my first time eating at this restaurant and it was scrumptious! Timberline is on the casino floor of the Ameristar Black Hawk Casino. My bestie brought us here for a relaxing getaway and birthday dinner for my mom. She, as always, picked the perfect spot because we had a great time! The restaurant was busy as all get out so there was a slight wait for our table but the hostesses checked in with us several times. The kind of great customer service I appreciate. We were sat a few minutes after our reservation time in a private booth in the front area of the restaurant. Our server, Jessica, was slammed but made sure to touch all of her tables. She came over with water and since we’re starving we ordered our drinks and food all at once. She brought over fresh bread and butter which was warm and yummy. Our appetizers came out: squash blossoms, scallops, crab cakes, and bone marrow for the bestie. We devoured everything and made a lot of satisfied food sounds. We were able to sit back and digest before our entrees came out. She ordered the 3oz wagyu and we ordered the 8oz salmon to share. The sides were ala carte so we ordered the asparagus, heirloom tomatoes, and mashed potatoes to share. It was all so good. Everything was cooked to the requested temps. The sides were perfect! Can’t even truly describe how perfect this meal was. We all sat back and sighed when we were done. The sides were a generous portion so we have leftovers. Jessica brought over the dessert menu…we glanced at it but none of us had any room for more things. Well done, Timberline and staff, for a...
