Timberline Grill - Black Hawk

I made the reservation a month in advance and asked for a table on the outside of the room for our anniversary. They seated us in the middle of the room. There were empty booths and the hostess said we couldn't have one. The shrimp cocktail was great, the prime rib was tough. We did get a free dessert for our anniversary and that was the high point.

John the bartender was so good and well knowledgeable in his duties and history of drinks. Was so impressed and loved the experience and the food was delicious. Anthony was our waiter the 2nd night and was all smiles and great service!

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 glad you made. Parking: Free parking at the Ameristar casino

Restaurant was in the casino and a cute set up for being so. We were sat in the center and it was empty so we asked to be moved to a booth, the lady gave us such a hard time it was laughable. We even said if she cannot move us it’s fine but booth preferred. She said that’s what the comments section is for in the reservation to where we had just put birthday. Our server was friendly but wow a smile or recommendation something would be nice lolFilet was delicious! I loved my strawberry peach salad! French Onion Soup was mediocre and not warm enough. It was very sweet that they gave us a complimentary birthday dessert.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience. We'll definitely dine at Timberline when traveling to Blackhawk again. No matter what hotel you stay at, make sure to add Timberline to your agenda!
