A new restaurant with a rustic theme is getting ready to open in North Las Vegas.
But first Lumberjacks Restaurant, at 965 W. Craig Road, has to fill about 70 new positions.
The North Las Vegas Lumberjacks will be the California-based diner’s first location in Nevada.
The restaurant is built to look like a log cabin inside and out, and a 12-foot lumberjack statue holding an ax greets customers as they walk to the door. Lumberjacks bills itself as “Where the Big Boys Eat.”
The family-style breakfast, lunch and dinner “portions are huge and very reasonably priced,” said owner Scott Bailey. An online menu for Lumberjacks restaurants in California shows dinners priced below $20; “2 hand sandwiches” and most burgers cost less than $10 and most breakfast plates are less than $10. A seniors’ menu and children’s menu also are offered.
The diner specializes in pancakes, or as lumberjacks would call them, “flapjacks.”
Bailey said he’s excited about the North Las Vegas location and plans to hire about 70 people at a job fair next week. The restaurant, he said, is looking to hire bussers, hostesses, the wait staff, a full kitchen staff and supervisors.
The hiring fair will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at the restaurant. Applicants will be able to interview on the spot anytime during the fair, Bailey said.
Lumberjacks will open in the next couple of months, Bailey said, after hiring is completed.
I love pancakes!
Too many obese Americans. Need to stop catering to this bigger is better mentality with food. No one needs to eat a 1 foot high stack of pancakes. Get healthy. It's good for you. Longevity has its place.
This particular location seems to be cursed. I think this will be the third or fourth restaurant to open in the same building within the past 2 years. The only sit down restaurants that seem to do any good on this stretch of Craig is Ruby Tuesdays and Applebees. But I wish them luck..just saw the big Lumberjack statue this past week while going to lunch.
TomD....I agree to some extent, but also, everything in moderation. Also, some of us need to eat big to train big.
These are the things that need to come to downtown. Clean it up and get some entertainment.
I don't know why I waited a year to eat at this restaurant other than the fact that I live in Henderson. Great food, reasonably priced with a friendly atmosphere! Henderson needs a restaurant like this!
