Southside Shake @ Hilton Garden Inn Fredericton Downtown in Fredericton

Date night out; our visit was fantastic! Atmosphere was top-notch, live jazz music, and incredible food. Can’t wait for our next visit!!

The pickle jar/southside shake at the Hilton is one of my favourite places in the city. Always friendly service, the best eggs benny on the weekends and Sarah’s mother’s meatloaf will change your life. I Highly recommend!

Amazind flavour! From the soup to the Trout to the dessert! Delicious and friendly knowledgeable server with a smile and pride in the food.

My wife I had a fantastic time yesterday. We stop for few drinks to celebrate my birthday. Lalit was very professional, great customer service. It was a pleasure to watch him. “He knows his stuff”. We will definitely be back.

The bartender, Olivia, was amazing! She is knowledgeable, hard working, personable, and so friendly. I am so glad I asked her opinion on things. The drinks and cocktail menu is out of this world! I had the Southside Shake and the Dream of New Brunswick, because I have enjoyed the New Brunswick Gins immensely. My meal from the Pickle Jar was great, except for the Veggie Burger. I couldn't finish it because of the taste of the Patty, and no condiments being present... However, the Pimento Cheese Dip was lovely, except for it is served with too many grilled pitas. The accompanying house salad with corn and cranberries, was perfect! And I never have desert, but the Pink Lemonade Cheesecake with Strawberries and Blueberries was yummy! I would definitely recommend this place for the service, cocktails, appetizers, tapas, and deserts!

Service is great. Open late till 11pm when most of the restaurants around the area close at 9. Good selection of food options on the menu and alcohol. If you are sharing all the food including the mains, and you prefer your food absolute fresh and hot, the server is more than willing to bring out your dishes as soon as they are ready (instead of waiting until all dishes are ready to serve the mains together). The mussel with dill cream sauce is really creamy, I can almost drink all the sauce by itself. The portion of Philly cheese steak is loaded with cheese and mushrooms, there is a lot of steak too. The proton is really huge that it seems like double the size of some cheap restaurants. Striploin is done well to my liking. You can almost feel the tender texture comes from dry age process. The only thing I am appointed is the fried smoked pork belly on the tapas menu. It is just too dry, and the pork is way too small inside the thick breading. Basically, you can't taste anything other than the dried breading. If it weren't because of the sweet hot sauce, I would not even put a second piece in my mouth.

I came into this Hotel Style restaurant expecting a typical hotel style experience with staff. This meaning "big city" type attitude, this was absolutely not the case. I had the bartender vigilantly ask for my order. Thia was accompanied by other staff being very approachable and comfortable to be around. Definitely would recommend. Lalit amazing as a bartender and made me feel more than welcome.

Staff provided our large party with some of the best service and recommendations. The staff have a high level of expert knowledge of their bar products and menu selection. The staff were great but the food was even better. Fresh ingredients with new flavors every time we’ve dined. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend the Southside Shake!
