1185 Smythe St, Fredericton, NB E3B 3H4, Canada
Local Uptown Grill serving house smoked pork ribs, in house rotisserie chicken, AAA Certified Angus beef and over 14 craft draft beer lines. Appreciating quality food since 1993' - Scratch kitchen flare.
My husband and I just finished supper there, first time there We stopped for the night at a hotel close by and they recommended this restaurant Everything was excellent!!! Would highly recommend
Had the 8oz steak. They didn't have anything bigger. This steak was tender, it didn't have any seasoning or sauce, pretty plain. It completely reminded me of eating at Ponderosa as a kid, just this steak was tender
Here someone knows how to cook vegetables. Steak was good. Potatoes were a bit underdone, but still good. Chicken was very moist and tasty. Sadly the gravy was very salty and not that pleasant.
Arrived from out of town and found this restaurant a minute away from our hotel. The menu was had some great options serving up a variety of steak, chicken and seafood dishes. Ordered the Taco Beef Sheppards Pie. Skeptical at first, but it ended up being an amazing dish! If you love tacos and Sheppards Pie, this is a must try! Also ordered at our table was a Chicken Club Sandwich and Grilled Cheese off the kids menu. It was a great meal overall! Atmosphere was great! We were seated upstairs with a balcony view of the lower level. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone local or traveling through.
Very cozy country brewery restaurant. Very delicious food and fine beer. I loved the atmosphere and the taste of beer and food. Very caring happy customer service. The servant was very nice and enough caring. She was always around, but not too much. All of us loved our food taste. The price was so reasonable. But unfortunately, they are closing very soon. Sometimes between 8 to 9 is there closing time?😕 just the downside of this restaurant is this. I would recommend here with peace of mind.
Your standard pub food. I really dislike when potato skins are advertised and you end up with potato boats. Skins are supposed to be a bunch of thinly sliced potatoes with the skins on them piled high (not 4 potatoes cut into chunks. Potatoes were gray and seemed old). Maple chicken sandwich was good I could definitely taste the maple but it wasn't as good as it was defined in the menu! Good for a quick bite! Waitress and hostess were great, cleanliness of the upstairs wasn't great as there were crumbs on my table and the suede bench seat.
We were visiting Fredericton for the first time. We prefer to dine locally (vs. big franchises that you can find anywhere). We enjoyed our meal so much, we returned the next day for lunch!! Our first meal was dinner (and I remembered to take photos) The seafood casserole was recommended and it did not disappoint. With large pieces of scallop, shrimp and white fish in a delicious sauce and cheese topping, it came with choice of potatoe (I chose baked) and seasonal vegetables...which I always anticipate as boring....but this was a yummy combination of julienned carrots, zucchini and peppers that had a great seasoning. My bf got the club sandwich with fries and coleslaw. Made to perfection. And the slaw was a vinegrette dressing...not soggy, with the right amount of tang! I appreciated that this restaurant also supports Canadian when I saw the French's ketchup. The house wine was a Pinot Grigio by Copper Moon that paired well with my meal. And dessert!! The Sticky Toffee Cake...very sweet and the perfect size to share (Too big to eat alone...unless you have a major sweet tooth!!) Our second meal, I didn't take photos...but the meals were equally delicious. Our lunch companion had one of their signature burgers and was quite pleased. My bf went simple with a BLT and fries and was impressed. I ordered the Adult Grilled Cheese sandwich...loaded with rotisserie chicken, three cheese mix and dill pickles (grilled inside)...omg, so delicious! I also paired my adult sandwich with a local adult beverage by York County Cider. I enjoyed it so much, I stopped by the local NB liquor store to take some back home to Ontario!!
The new Bourbon Burger was cooked a bit more than I usually like and with a thin patty. However, the light char of the burger mixed with the sweetness of the candied bacon and bourbon sauce was a nice pairing. The french fries were my favourite; a light and flaky, but very crispy fry. The service was nice and the decor was quite stunning. I look forward to going back and checking out some of their other dishes. A great lunch with the work crew.
were happy to be and eat in Ringos Drill, on Nov 17, 2024 )) we ate Beef Brisket Dinner and Baked Mushrooms - delish! prices are $. Server Sacha is very professional.
Good food. Highly recommended adult grilled cheese.
A solid meal with excellent service! The brisket is well worth trying, and they have a good selection of local craft draft.
Met a coworker for Breakfast! Was fast and the food was delicious! 10 out of 10 recommend!
Really enjoyed the Taco Shepherds Pie and good service

The food and service was great.we had both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast is delicious.
Had the shepherds pie. Not fancy or anything but delicious and well spiced. Not at all bland.
Great food and a good selection of brews on tap
Good food friendly staff
Food
Had the Chicken Caesar Wrap on monday, would say its the best one Ive ever had. The Fries were decent, wouldnt say they are the best but they were decent too.
Good food with good size servings
My husband and I had lunch, and he had seafood casserole (he highly recommends it) I had chicken ceasar salad (very good). The service was great.
Hard to describe this restaurant. It has one of those charms that always brings me back. It seems to carry a rural feeling yet very much at the crossroads of Fredericton s uptown. Easy to miss if you don t know the place. But worth the stop if you need a bite. I bet you ll find yourself returning from time to time. Years from not you still won t know why but here you are. ENJOY!!!!
I liked the food and the selection of draft beer.
Steak was excellent, the baked potatoe wasn t cooked all the way through
really well done food
We gave this place a try while in town from Moncton, and hot damn great place. Staff was funny, friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful and cute as hell, but the food.... excellent! My husband has the taco Sheppard pie and he was in love. I had the rottisery chicken which was gluten free and sooooo good. Prices are unbelievable and I just wish the coffee part was open too cause the beans smelled great. Excellent place will be going again next time in town!
We have been going to Ringos for a few years now. Yesterday I placed a takeout order. The waitress gave me a choice of sides, which included a ceasar salad. She told me the side was included with the meal. There was no mention of there being a charged of $4 for the salad. When I went in to pay, I explained this to the waitress. She took the charge off but proceeded to be very rude about it. I told her, I your attitude just cost you your the tip. She said she didnt care. I have never had a problem with your restaurant until yesterday. This waitress was very rude and unprofessional!! On another note, the portion size for the seafood casserole was smaller. And I was so glad I had the $4 taken off for the salad, it was not worth the $4. Very disappointed with my visit!!
Nice Bar & Restaurant. Aimee and Sasha made us feel Welcomed. They were both Professional and Friendly and Made Great Drinks. Sandwiches were very good. Thank you from USA
Had a classic breakfast slightly after lunchtime on a Saturday. Fantastic spot.
Great spot, awesome burgers and great chicken wings.....
Besides the obvious filth of this place, the food is disgusting. 1st time there last night & I went to the washroom to immediately wash my hands & there was NO SOAP! I mentioned this to the server right away. I didn t even want to touch the gross menu. I used my own hand sanitizer so much that I just left it on the table. Then the worst part came,, the food . Besides the basic bar food, they had a few items that read like a dinner, but don t be fooled. The frozen veggies are boiled to death to a mush. The steak is paper thin, so no matter how you order it, it can only be well done! I ate the fries & I was done! Went to the bathroom before I left and STILL NO SOAP! And yes, I witnessed several staff members going in & out . Absolutely disgusting! It s unfortunate that I have to at least give it 1 star to review.
I absolutely love this place! Ive been coming here regularly at least once a month for the better part of 10 years and I cant say Ive ever been disappointed. The prices are great the food is great and the service has always been amazing. My go to spot when I want to sit down for a bite to eat. Its clean, modern and cozy. Cant express enough my appreciation for this place and if you havent yet youve gotta try the breakfast poutines!
There was a group of 4 of us, who were told it was 15 minute wait and to mill about the lobby while we wait. Our name was taken down and we went to mill about. People were coming in and out and a line started to form but instead of actually looking at the podium where names were taken down the servers just took the next people waiting instead of us who had been waiting at least 10 minute longer than the people who came in after us. This restaurant needs to pick a way to take a wait either form a line or take names dont mix and match. Keep it consistent across all servers. Edit: for clarity the people who were trying to get in before us did not have a reservation like the owner is trying to say in their response. They were treated the same way we were. We were asked to come back by the server. The owners reaction is kind of disappointing trying to discredit the situation.
Stood at the door for over 10 mins with 3 other couples amd the waitress within 5 feet didnt acknowledge not one person. She stood there and never made eye contact with any of us
Food was good
Delicious meal and great service.
Great spot. Always friendly staff. Good food.
Great casual atmosphere. Wide menu and tap beer selection. Marilyn was also very friendly and attentive, well be back!
In for lunch with a friend. Food and service were top notch!! When i fly home again ill be back for sure!
First visit. Was great
This place has fast and friendly service. Ive been happy everytime. My daughter is obsessed with the taco Shepards pie.
very tasty hamburger
It is very good I would recommend eating here I had the beef brisket dinner and it was delicious
One of the first places we visited when we moved to Freddy, and is still one of the best! Excellent Montreal Meat sandwich and pulled chicken. Great drinks and friendly service too.
Paid 16 plus tax for this.. lol
Friendly service and inviting atmosphere. We are always recognized by our favorite server. Food is always good.
Loved having our supper here, we had a wonderful time
Great place for good food and fast service. My steak was good but was overdone, past medium rare. My wifes was as ordered, medium rare. This has only happened once. The dessert was Amazing. I will continue to enjoy the experience.
My girlfriend and I dined here for our second time, the food both times was absolutely incredible, prices are low/average for high quality food, huge shoutout to the kitchen staff However, this time around we had Sasha as our server and we were very disappointed with her customer service, there were 4 times while we were there that we were in the middle of speaking to her and she just ignored us and walked away, and then at the end when we got our bill I simply just asked a question about the price of something, which I thought was incorrect, but she answered in the most rude tone and made me feel so stupid.
A little loud, but we were there at prime time.
Havent been there in ages and had forgotten how good the food was. My new favourite is the Adult grilled cheese with chicken and fries....soooo good.
We are from Nova Scotia and Went to Fredricton for March break. Ended up eating at Ringo s after opting out of our first option and are we ever glad we did. All three of our meals were excellent and well portioned. We all cleared our plates( including our 6 year old son). We liked it so much we went back the second night of our trip as we knew we wouldn t be disappointed. The Service was just as good as the food. Highly recommend.
Food was very good. The service, when I get my drink or plate dropped on table without the waitress looking at me like to get out of my site...... No thanks. Result. No tips
Great brisket and a nice selection of craft beer.
Food is always good. Service is better. Never had a complaint Food
This is a good restaurant. The food was good, and the service was fast. Friendly staff. Craft beer and coffee. Great place for a meal.
Waitress was extremely nice! Although our table and seats werent cleaned at all, I sat in food on the booth and tables had food on it as well. Once we got our food it was very cold but still tasty.
Great food, excellent service. Get up now and go to Ringos. (Not you, Karen, you get take out.) The BOH crew serves the best there is. FOH brings it to the table with grace and charm.
Had the surf and turf,, delicious!! Awesome service, friendly hostess! definitely a return visit! Food
Terrible. A hockey puck would have been easier to eat than their burger. The onion rings were burnt and all the food was cold. They took the menu after I ordered, so I couldnt check, but Im pretty sure they did not add all of the ingredients to my burger. Stay away.
Terrible experience. We entered the restaurant to have two servers trying to figure out the PoS system and ignored us for a few minutes before we were asked if we wanted a table. Our party waited for 20 minutes for someone to come to our table. We had to go to the front of house as the waiters were standing around and talking during that time ignoring us the whole time, not even coming over for drink orders. They made a mistake with a the Gummi Bear drink and it took a long time to get our appetizers. The Kitchen appears to be a mess. There were issues with every meal. The Ribs were covered a in tasteless dryrub that only tasted decent when house BBQ sauce was applied to it. I was surprised it was not applied before being brought to the table. The brisket I had was dry, cold and looked like gas station beef jerky. The side poutine was soggy as it was sitting too long before it was served to the table. The only warm piece of food was the chicken but the dip it came with so salty, it ruined the chickens taste. Two chicken burgers were ordered, and they were given to the wrong person at the table. Worst was that one was a Slaw Chicken Burger and a Maple Chicken Burger and they seems to mash different parts of each on to each other. The chicken was overcooked and tough. All in all, one of the worst experiences I had dining out in the city and I will not be coming back. It was a disgrace to pay $75 for such poor food, poor service, and not having a bartender in a place called Ringos Bar and Grill seems to show how much the whole place has fallen.
Best poutine!
Really good chicken wings and burgers good service
Omg the fries were amazing buy food was good also lobster roll had a couple shell pieces but was good ny buddy got the steak and seemed to enjoy it we both commented on how good the atmosphere was great choice in streaming music the lighting was good
Best chicken burger I ever had maple chicken burger! I eat in restaurants daily, I ll be back next time in town, awesome servers!
Absolutely horrible service not pleased at all! Got wrong drinks and not the correct food that was asked for and waitresses said she didn t write it down! Won t be back
Terrific waitress. We were on a tight schedule and she had us all organised. In, fed, paid and out perfectly. Great service. All enjoyed our meals.
Staff get together, 2nd time Ive had maple candied chicken burger. Definitely recommend.
We had a great experience at Ringos recently. The team was short handed (no hostess or bartender), but the two gals and cooks did a great job with what Im expecting is normally a slower day for them. A very modern and comfortable spot to enjoy a good meal and company. We were also very pleased with how quiet it was even during a packed house.
Was OK. Ordered werent accurate. Fries were cold. Disappointing bc the restaurant was empty except 1 at the bar.
Had to wait 15 min for our bill but food is fair prices and good
Had an absolutely wonderful evening, Staff were terrific and friendly, beautiful 10 oz steak & potato with a nice Pibt of draft. Highly reccomended for quality food and service.
Food was ok and was priced reasonably. Place is missing something but I just cant put the finger on it. Check it out
Good food, great service
Every time I go to ringos, I am 100% satisfied with the food. My favorite is the steak! Absolutely recommend!
Really good steak
Good spot. Nice menu
Prices are up, food quality is slipping service is good. Good Covid procedures.
I had the steak and my mom had the maple bacon chicken burger. Both were delicious but the chicken was over the top amazing! I got to try a bite of it and next time I go, thats definitely what Ill be ordering!!!
Super expensive for mediocre pub food.
It had been a long time since my last visit, nice clean renovation inside. Great spot to grab some lunch/Diner and Beer. Always one of my favorites in the city!
Most painfully mid meal Ive ever had
Good service and decent food
Love the the food , Best in Fredericton to eat, last time we ate there it was nt a Quiet Lunch , food was Fantastic the only thing that shouldnt be Allowed are Kids in a Adult place where they serve liquor the Parents didn t control the Kids its the Kids did what they wanted run around throwing Bottles and toys around us kids shouldnt even be allowed in there period next time we go i ll ask if there kids in there we are not going in kids shouldnt be allowed in a adult area you should have a sign on the dòor no Kids allowed so us adults in go in and and enjoy a quiet meal Thank you for listening Mark Paradis
got a BLT but there wasnt anything to it and it didnt have real mayo, miracle whip is just depressing it had to be said. the fries are good though
First time visiting Fredericton. Did a trip to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. So a lot of meals in restaurants. This was the best one of our trip. Had the seafood casserole, excellent. Highly recommend this eatery
Friendly and professional staff Good food, the menu is varied. Just be careful for vegetarians like me, there is an oversight on the menu which does not mention that the Mushroom Swiss burger is a cheeseburger (therefore with meat) Nice decor
Odd place as to what kind of establishment it is but the food was pretty good and service good. Salad was fresh and tasty. Dont waste your time with the brisket lol. Chewy and flavorless.
Great place very welcoming great service
Good group experience. Most food was delicious (exception: fish heavily battered and dry) and beer selection was par. Staff was very attentive and accommodating.
Lovely place to meet &eat i enjoy my time.
Pleasant service, havw not been dissapointed with food aa of yet
Good atmosphere, great service. The menu options were not very unique like some other restaurants, but what they offered they did very well. I had the quarter chicken and the leg was smaller than what Im used to, and my husband ordered Nachos which was very good, and shepherds pie (also good). We would come back. Good prices too!
Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious, portion was good, and dessert was delectable
I don know how this review was posted , I never did one. However the restaurant has a good food.
Good dishes. Fast service.
I love stopping at Ringos for brunch / breakfast on my days off. The staff is nice, the food is great, and their beers on tap have a selection for everyone.
Really delicious food! Fast service! Parking: A lot of parking spaces Kid-friendliness: There is kids menu
We were told that they were in a rush. Ok no problem. They had reservations and the restaurant was almost empty besides 1 big table in the corner. The waitress was not very friendly. She got our drinks. Our baby couldn t drink out of hers because the cup and straw were taller than from the tray to her mouth. So milk spilt on her. We asked for extra napkins and got two. While we were ordering she yelled at customers to go back and wait. Then about five minutes later she was upset with the large table because the kids were singing a song. I didn t think they were bothering anyone and it was very awkward. When we got our food the mac and cheese had burnt bacon and the nachos had items in it that wasn t on the menu. That we absolutely would never order. We made sure we were finished before the big reservation arrived but had to wait for the waitress for a while. We got up to wait at the counter we didn t feel very welcome and won t be back.
Steak and shrimp special was great. The chocolate explosion cheesecake was divine.
Loved the chicken burger yumm.
Food was yummy and the workers were friendly, checked to see how we were doing a few times during the meal. Parking: Close parking Kid-friendliness: They have a kids meal section
This restaurant is clean, cozy, friendly and most importantly the service and food are second to none. We will be back next time we are in town. Love it.
great food and wonderful service Wheelchair accessibility: highly accessible
Great food and great service!
Had a wonderful experience while visiting there.. food was epically delicious I recommend anyone who loves steaks and hearty meals to try this restaurant. The service was excellent too very accommodating and friendly
Just a very good overall experience
Tonight we had a reservation for over a dozen people. Meredith was amazing as our server, friendly, efficient and attentive. The food was good and facility clean and tidy. Truly appreciate the excellent service!
Still thinking about the brisket burger
Food over all was great I had steak both nights,the waitress was amazing only one on and it was busy she rocked it.
Nice place for Casual meal. Steak is good.
Always good, love the coffee and atmosphere. Waiters and waitresses very friendly. Still misding the mudslide dessert. So sad it has been discontinued. Somtimes I just went there for that.
Fantastic food, great waiters and drinks are reasonably priced. It s our go to date night for sure. We don t even ask each other where we re going it s just assumed it s ringos. Maybe I m bias but the only issue I ve ever had was last time we went they had run out of spiced rum for my coke :( but oh well amber was fine!
Very good service....fast ,friendly, delicious
The food and server were awesome.
Great food
I dont know what the do to their steak but it is always excellent!
Experienced servers, good beer and grill menu.
Very nice place to eat and great food, at prices that are reasonable.
The food and service were really good. I had the poutine skillet which was a nice combo of poutine with egg.
They have a big sign out front that says Ringos. Makes sense.
Loved the updated interior! Food was good also as well as the service.
Their ribs are excellent and we enjoy other dishes as well...handy to home ...good service too.
Staff was very friendly and helpful and food was really good. Only 1 issue was we ordered the burger sauce on the side and it was also on the burger. They took part of it off our bill though.
Relaxed atmosphere, good food, decent selection.
Very good food
Awesome burger
The waitress was amazing, going above and beyond. The food was served nice and hot. The kitchen over spiced our ribs. And it was slightly crowded but we enjoyed ourselves
Good food
Food was ok; just not my taste ( could have more spice, but I think their current clientele are ok with it). Service was very friendly and prompt, good value for money.
I had their homemade cheesecake with strawberry sauce and got a little misty eyed. So good. Excellent service. Highly recommend.
Everything ok food good
I had the taco Sheppards pie. My husband had the bourbon burger. Both were delicious. The Sheppards pie was so comforting and filling. Brought our baby and they had a change table as well. We will be back
Went for the first time in a very long time. Great atmosphere, all the ladies were great. Had an amazing angus bacon burger, cant wait to go back and try more of their menu
I had a chicken burger and raddler, both were great! Waitress was fantastic too! I will be back!
Food was very good, waitress was perfect. Spot was clean. What else could you want! Another great visit. Will be sure to return!
My first time there, the chicken burger was good and the fries were really good. The waitress was great. With my experience there Ill definitely go back.
Served a raw burger and oven roated chicken that greatly reassembled superstores roast chicken
Service not great. Went in for dinner, had papers for vaccine checked at the door, and then waited for an excessive time period to be seated. From what I could see, this was not because they were waiting for a table to clear, but due to staff shortage. We left and went elsewhere.
Super nice, attentive staff. Friendly atmosphere and a wide array of foods to choose from. I had the sweet bacon chicken burger. It was pretty tasty. A delish dish.
I ve visited Ringo s roughly 5 times in the past 2 years, but the majority of this review is based off my most recent visit. Previously, my experiences have been average or better. Fairly slow service, but pretty good food. I still feel Ringo s has one of the best burgers in town, and absolutely the best buns. As of my last visit, it was less than enjoyable. We had to wait roughly 20 minutes for a table, which was fine because it was busy. We were willing to wait. However, we got stuck in the upper section next to an entire party table of people yelling and screaming. It was so loud that we literally could not even have a conversation. We sat there for 40 minutes without saying a word until we were done and ready to go, because we couldn t hear each other to even have a short conversation. It was extremely frustrating. I don t blame Ringo s for the obnoxious behaviour of the other table, but we did kind of feel like we were stuck up there just to get us seated. We were stuck way back in a corner at the top, by an exit door. Probably the worst table/area in the entire restaurant. Based on that, we left disappointed that we were stuck there. If I could offer constructive feedback here, it would be to not make that section available for regular customers when there is a party/gathering up there. The food itself was actually a little cold, which was surprising because previously the food has always been great as previously mentioned. This time I had a 1/4 chicken dinner, and all previous times have been burgers. If I were to go again, I d go back to ordering the burger. Without a doubt the only redeeming quality of the most recent visit was our waiter. He was probably the best waiter/waitress I ve had in months or years at any establishment. I didn t get his name for this review unfortunately, but he had longer hair and had it in a bun, and he had a beard. I m specifying who this was on purpose because if the owner of Ringo s reads this, you need to give that man a raise. He was outstanding. To finish this review, I ll answer the question: would I go back? The answer is yes, but unlikely anytime soon. I m sure the next time won t be as disappointing as this time. A review based on all previous visits would be 4/5. A review based on the recent visit would be 1/5. So I decided on 3/5. I feel that s reasonable! I d say give it a try for yourself and see what you think, definitely worth checking out.
Had the beef brisket dinner , was realy good
Great food ! Great service!
We absolutely love this place. The food is amazing.
Great local business. Good food.
Great craft beer selection and great food. The Reuben I ordered was gone in blink of an eye.
Great ribs and first class service.
GREAT STEAK
Really enjoyed the Friday night flight w/ pretzels. The half chicken dinner was delicious and my wife enjoyed the pulled pork. Only downside was the mashed potatoes were a bit dry. Atmosphere and service were also top notch.
Went here for a night out and had amazing meals!
Awesome Food & Great Service!
Extremely good! We have had some questionable meals here in the past, this evening that was not the case! We had burgers and they were cooked to perfection! The fries were amazing too, highly recommend Ringos now! #SupportLocal
Delicious food and great service
really enjoy the food, my only complaint is you can only get breakfast on saturdays
Good service, and really good fries. Unfortunately, I ordered the veggie burger and it was awful. Seemed like some kind of frozen, mushy soy patty? Couldnt finish it. Most places have a good vegetarian option these days, doubt Ill be back here.
Good not great. Really just a 3 star place to eat
Awesome locally owned restaurant, a lot better than big box restaurants.
