Review The Lumberjack Trading Co - Manly

My boyfriend and I took a ferry from Sydney to Manly. He had looked on l online for restaurants and found this one. We are suckers for the things we love, amung those things...POUTINE. We are Wisconsinites and we love our cheese (curds!). We ordered the Lumberjack poutine which is fries, brown gravy, white cheese curds, bacon and onion rings- which we asked for on the side. The fries were crispy and crunchy on the outside and piping hot and fluffy inside. The brown gravy was warm, flavorful and thick. The white cheese curds were melty and ooey gooey with so much cheese pull!! The bacon was smokey and delicious, my favorite pieces were the extra crispy ones but the softer pieces were just as yummy! My boyfriend describes the onion rings as, "delicious, crispy batter and tender onions, not greasy. They were good." Everything came together, a perfect blend of all ingredients for this Poutine. My boyfriend has had Poutine in Canada and gives this a 4.25 out of 5 stars. We've also had Poutine throughout the US and in Europe and I can say without a doubt you will not be disappointed! I enjoyed a fresh juice of orange, carrot and ginger, I could taste the fresh ingredients, it was worth it. There are several options for juices and a make your own option. If you're craving something healthy because, like us, you've been eating out a lot while traveling give this a go!!! I addition to the tasty lunch and drinks, the service was great, met with a friendly smile, all questions asked and the gentleman taking care of us made sure we had everything we needed and that we liked our order.

Went for lunch here recently and the service was outstanding. All the staff were very polite and helpful - we had a mix up in the kitchen with our meals but we were offered complimentary drinks while we waited. It was all round a good experience and when we got the burgers, they were very tasty and filling. Will be back the next time I'm in the area!

Very relaxed place. Staff are friendly . My chips were cooked well. My cheese burger was good. Price is getting up there

Tasty burger, great beer. A perfect spot for a relaxed lunch in Manly. Great fast service too.

Really great food and full of flavour. We where very full at the end and great little venue outside.

Went here for a Business meeting with a client and decided to try the Chicken Salad. It tasted great but the presentation was poor and the chicken slightly burnt.

Great canadian inspired food. Friendly service and fair pricing. Keep an eye out for weekly specials.

We ordered the pancakes - they came out very cold. I asked whether they were meant to be cold, the staff said it was meant to be hot and offered to heat it up for me. When it came back, the apple sauce topping which it was meant to come with was scraped away, so I was given a smaller portion than what I had originally ordered. The staff were very friendly, but the food was very much below average and there are much better breakfasts in Manly.

I had breakfast at Lumberjack this morning. After an invigorating run, a refreshing swim, it was time for breakfast. The wait for our food was at least 45 minutes. The food quality very average. Why on earth this place was busy this morning I don't know? One of the most mediocre experiences I've had in a long time. I won't be going back.

Had your delicious burgers through deliveroo last night! Best burger, poutine, calamari, caesar salad and mac n cheese ever in Australia!!! Well done, amazing..

Coming from Montreal, Québec, Canada, the poutine brought me back home for a moment. It was excellent! The staff is very courteous and the owner very friendly. I will return for sure to try the oher items on the menu....starting with a bloody ceaser and the benedict eggs!!!!

Amazing food and top quality at that. Great staff and awesome atmosphere. Heaters and blankets for outside ������

Tasty, fresh well, priced food. Staff offer amazing customer service. Happy hour prices daily 5-7pm of $10 jug of coors, and $10 cocktails, can't be beat. Well done Jason, on bringing Manly a great must visit place to be.

Went on Thursday night to grab the ribs $15 special - sensational. Meat delicious and falling off the bone. Accompanied by right amount of chips and coleslaw. Partner had the beef fajitas, also really good. Service was great. Snuck in a few drinks during happy hour as well. We'll be back for sure.

Really good food eh? Good service too eh? If you don't like this place, Bob and Doug would call you a hoser! Eh?

Great beef!!! That's what makes a burger great! Good bun! Good toppings! Good sides! Nice waitresses this evening too! Thank you :) Thanks for a good cold weather meal next to the heaters �

Great spot in Manly to have lunch. Staff were very friendly & went out of their way to provide great service. The burgers were delicious too!

Great burgers, great beer, great service, great set up!! One question- What is Poutine???

We waited over an hour to receive our burgers... No apology, notice or explanation given. very disappointed. When we eventually got the food it was very tasty and the drinks were great.

The Caesars are amazing!!! Highly recommend for a taste of Canada

Yep, the Lumberjack is 'good'. It is still new and may have a few rough edges. Needs to restock Canadian beer (only American available).

I'm usually a big fan of the Lumberjack but was disappointed yesterday when the side of hashbrowns turned out to be just the one. Was told when we questioned it they're now bigger, but the difference is really minimal. $4 for one lone hashbrown is a bit of a joke.

I went last night with a group of 5 adults and 4 kids. The kids had a great time and their meals were really tasty but they forgot our order so the adults had to wait over an hour to get our food. Luckily the kids were occupied but our dinner ended up being two hours long. The young guy was our server initially and was terrible, really rude and grouchy, but a nice young lady took over and she did great. Good food, but hit and miss with staff and potentially an extremely long wait for food.

Food is brilliant - we had the chicken wings and burgers. Definitely best burgers in Manly. Manager was good but team a bit inexperienced

Great food, amazing & cheap caesars on Sunday! Cute candlelit tables with blankets and heaters outside. We will be back! �

Fantastic Breakfast and service. Coffee is great too 👌

Relaxing vibe, super friendly staff, blankets to keep you warm and the BEST ribs, tasty and falling off the bone! Not to mention the amazing banana waffles!!! 🤤 will definitely be back!

Today I’ve a chance to try the er famous waffle! <br/>Lumberjack breakfast, is to die for!<br/>Waffle with mixed berries and whipped cream was nice too.<br/>Chocolate and berries muffin also freshly baked.<br/><br/>…<br/><br/>Coffee by Bellaroma.<br/>This Canadian place is famous for their waffle, so I’ve heard.<br/>I came just before 3pm, (2.55pm) waitress said still open, but by the time I place the ordered, kitchen confirmed it closed. <br/>No big deal, have a piccolo instead

Not too bad at all! Only thing I knew about this place is it has Canadian food. Sadly, I don't eat fried chicken waffle or poutine, but I gave their other foods a try anyway.<br/><br/>Came here with mum for lunch. She got a beef burger and I got a mushroom burger with sweet potato fries. Her beef burger looked really rare, but it actually tasted awesome! <br/><br/>My mushroom burger was very rich, they put sweet potato and feta cheese in it, which made it a bit too salty. The sweet potato fries were perfect though. <br/><br/>It was a bit of a wait for our food to get here, but staff is friendly and price is alright.

Great flat white. They had what they called a "Canadian Caesar" felt like I was at home. Will have to try it on my next visit. Friendly staff and cute patio area.

Had food delivered from here last week. The buffalo wings and poutine were authentic and delicious. The food was nice and hot and I have already made a booking for next time so I share the goodness with my friends 😀
