130 Bishop Dr, Fredericton, NB E3B 0E1, Canada
I feel like my husband and I were profiled as ppl they didn't want to service here when we walked in the door. The sign on the door said it closes at 8pm. Their web page states 8pm as well. Their open sign was lit up, and they had a table of 4 or 5 currently sitting. We walked in for a table at 7:05pm, wearing a toque, winter coats, and boots. Before I could even ask, the attendant told us they were closed at 7. I told him the sign outside and his website and front door all said they closed at 8pm. He didn't respond. So we left. I will not be back.
We had a great experience with a very charming server. The smoked meat grilled cheese was absolutely amazing. With any meal you get to choose a type of fries, the most popular ones are the sweet potato waffle fries (which were good, but too greasy as they had some oily sauce on them) and the Buffalo curly fries (crispy, curly and delicious). They have a big menu so we will definitely come back to try more of their sandwiches.
Absolutely delicious! We had the Texas spring rolls to start, burger and crispy chicken sandwich. Highly recommend
Really unique dishes offered at this restaurant with something for everyone. I’m a huge fan of their Cobb salad. Simply the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
Edit: I sent an email a day after they replied to my review. I have yet to get a reply. I'm switching my review from 2 stars to 1 star due to this awful attempt of customer service. I will update if they end up replying. Edit 2: It's been a couple weeks and I have yet to receive a reply to my email. Will not be going back. Be wary when ordering delivery with M&J's, they often screw up. This wasn't the first time we've had issues, they've forgotten items before. But, this is the first time we've had something inedible sent our way. We were incredibly disappointed in our order last night. It's like the evening chef threw in the towel and used whatever left overs they had because they knew we couldn't send it back. The Fish tacos were the saddest I have ever seen, or tasted. Not only did they barely put anything on the taco, but the tiny pieces of fish they had in them where mostly bread, stale and chewy. We had also been given a sizeable chunk of dirty lettuce end in the salad. :( We will be avoiding M&J's for the time being. It's a shame, they used to be an incredible restaurant.
The food was good but expensive. We paid about 45 dollars for two people for breakfast. The server was very nice. Music was radio with and acceptable volume. However, the echo from the other tables was loud.
I was really excited to try the pulled duck naanwich. We also ordered the crunchy chicken honey mustard naanwich. Unfortunately it was very underwhelming and disappointing. The pulled duck was smothered in bbq sauce and you couldn’t even taste the duck— at that point just save the cost of duck and just use pork. The chicken naanwich was meh, kinda soggy. The curly fries and truffle fries were good. But the food was definitely not worth the price point. On top of that, the service was poor. The server was not friendly— he didn’t greet us, dropped menus on the table, only came by to take our order and never came back to check on our table or refill our glasses. And the place was not even busy at the time. Sorry but it’s a miss.
Stopped by while staying in Fredericton. Don’t let the location beside a gas station spook you! The interior and patio areas were nice and clean, with friendly staff inside. Wait time to order was a little long as the dinner rush got busy on a weekday. Loved the pulled duck, big thanks to the waitress who recommended it on a half rice and half lettuce plate (rather than a naan sandwich).
Just wow. What a refreshing change up from traditional restaurants. Its cheap, and tasts amazing, I recommend the red velvet cake. Wounder when they are going to get their first michallen star?
Ive eaten here dozens of times and tried most of the menu. Ive never had a bad meal. This is our go to place for interesting flavors of varying styles that are fast and reliably good. We love the idea of naanwich menu that can also be ordered as rice or lettuce bowls. Update: years have gone by and this is still the most reliable restaurant weve found. Still our number one choice for fast delicious quality food.
So delicious. Everything is made with care, its become a delightful staple in our top restaurants. Super friendly staff, great choices of food and drink.
Awesome place. We will be back.
Food was great and the waitress was really nice! Lots of options and everything was delicious.
Had the brisket, would go again!!!
Our waitress, Claire, did an amazing job serving us both nights we were there! Will be requesting her as our waitress again!
It s great that they have a full vegan menu, and the vegan options are tasty, but BEWARE: if you attempt to order from the vegan menu, you must say Vegan before every item you order or you ll be served the non-vegan version of it (at least that s what just happened to my dinner companion and I, even though we both ordered only from the vegan menu). The server was kind enough to send everything back and have it remade, but only after telling us that it was our fault because we had ordered the non-vegan versions. Why and how could we do that, since we requested vegan menus and only ordered off of the vegan menus? Hopefully they ll work out this glitch, but in the meantime, please be careful when ordering, and make sure to confirm that you have received the vegan versions of your order before eating them. We already ate our appetizer before we realized what had happened and now we re both hoping that it was the vegan version, otherwise we will feel the consequence tonight. :(
Time of visit: around 1pm. Lets start with the good! Food was decent, service was quick. A bit overpriced, but honestly thats just life right now and its comparable enough to other spots of similar quality. Not to mention, we were looking forward to trying a new local spot. Now, onto the issues. The two workers, who were both servers, both men, and the only staff we interacted with there, were unwelcoming and rude. As a group, we felt like a nuisance to these two people. Our initial server made unnecessary and rude comments twice, which curiously only began after I asked for the vegan menu. The other server also made a comment towards my mother in law, who was trying to help him as he was struggling to perform his duties. This same one came over to our table, and without warning or a word, just reached over and yanked the milk bowl from us. Overall, just bizarre attitude to have towards your customers. We wont be recommending or returning, and hope these issues with staff are addressed.
Ordered fish burger. It was so old, couldnt cut through it with a fork. Seems like was cooked a long time ago and microwaved. Inedible. Also we had shredded duck. Didnt taste like any duck we have ever had before. Will definitely not ever be going back.!!!! WE dont mind $88.00 for good food, this was greasy spoon.
Still have a sore stomach after eating there. Not sure why they had some good reviews. In my estimation food is sub par.
Awesome food, great combination of ingredients to make some wicked sandwiches
Good food as long as you dont have medical dietary restrictions. They put onions fried in wheat flour on the gluten-free club sandwich my wife ordered, despite asking the wait staff to inform the kitchen that she has Celiac disease. Dietary restrictions: Not safe for Celiac disease [and probably other serious allergies], they put onions fried in a wheat flour batter on a club sandwich that was ordered gluten-free for a person with Celiac disease - the kitchen manager has no idea what is in any third party ingredients not produced on site. At least it wasnt a shellfish/peanut allergy, and we only ended up having to take a couple days off work instead of a life threatening ER trip.
Used to be good but today...
Weve loved Monks and Jonsie since they were just a food truck. Highly recommend. Just tried the pulled duck feature today and it was amazing. Food
First time there. Had the mac attack nachos which were great.
What a great surprise! A friend recommended it but how could a restaurant attached to an Irving be? Well- it is awesome! Pork belly bites - amazing. Loved the homemade sauce Could not finish my great chicken caesar wrap. My hubby loved the burger. And the fries - wow!!!!! Both the curly and parmesan ones! Planning a visit next week to try new items!
Great place. Great food. Good service.
Great just perfect
An employee came out the back doors and very rudely told me to move my car out of her way. I was waiting in the carwash line along with other cars and she pointed at my car and another and told us to move out of her way very rudely. She was parked along the side parking lot and could have asked us nicely to back up so she could get out. I will not be dinning in this restaurant if that s how their staff act.
Our server and bartender were amazing. The food was awesome also
My Donair was just ok. The sweet potato fries were cold and greasy. Service was slow and prices were high for what I got. I wont be back.
Awesome food. Your greated immediately. Their salt and vinegar fries are amazing. Lots of different options that you wont find elsewhere.
The truffle fries with parmesan and garlic are outstanding. I had the beef brisket wrap and it really really good. The sauce is tangy but its nice offset with a hint of beer(if Im not mistaken). Highly recommended!
yummy food and unique dishes great service as well Food
Original takes on pub food. A lot of thought has gone into the recipes and it shows that they care about the quality of food they serve. The service is friendly and efficient. Ive been there about 10 times and it is consistently good. In my opinion, they serve most original food in Fredericton. Its also in my top 10 all time favorite restaurants. Sure, the gas station setting doesnt scream gastronomy, but you wont be disappointed. Great job Monks and Jonesie!
Foods just so good
Excellent food with excellent service.
Best restaurant Ive ever been to thats attached to a car wash
Food was good, but theres no reason to dine in. Servers provided no quality service. Just order delivery if you re going to give this place money. We did order an appetizer and weren t provided the blue cheese sauce that was meant to come with it, which was disappointing.
We had a great meal. The service was quick, and the food was hot. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are a good size. We will go back.
Amy and I love Monks & Jonesie! Its close to our office thankfully so we go all the time and theres always something interesting to try. The menu specials, cocktail specials, beer on tap. All fantastic! And the owners are awesome people too!
Here for the first time today. Had the burger week burger - it was pretty good! The whiskey maple bacon was delicious and it paired great with the pepperoncini on top- the bun was soft but not alot of flavour from the panko tomatoes. Got the buffalo curly fries with pepper garlic aioli and that combo was friggin delicious!! The whole menu sounds amazing so I look forward to trying other things in the future.
Full vegan menu with many delicious choices!! Great pup friendly patio. Highly recommend.
Great food great staff
A wonderful hole in the wall. The menu is expansive, including a couple of vegetarian options (dragon bowl, vegetarian burger) and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is nice and the portion sizes are great.
Pretty disappointed. We live near the golf club location, and loved it last year. Just went for the first time this year and first off I needed to change our child and there is no change table in the womens bathroom. Then my partner had been sitting in one love spot for a bit and no one came to take an order or anyting. Then we switched to outside and again sat there for a few minutes and still absolutely not service.
Best place to eat in town. Great food and even better staff. Make sure to check the bishop location and the Freddy golf course one. Also, enjoy a cold good guys golden at the golf course location.
The food truck is pretty sweet, but I also loved their actual location. The server there was just absolutely pleasant, super friendly, kind and funny as heck. The food is what you expect, I got the snack platter with a bit of everything and it was just perfect with the nice fresh cider and beer. If you are ever in need of a stop, highly recommend making a pit stop on the way.
This was our first stop for some food after our long drive. Definitely worth the wait. Tucked in a small strip,filled with wonders. From the moment we walked in the place felt at home. Relaxing,inviting,when you actually tell yourself to slow down and enjoy. Great staff. Friendly. Now down to the food. It was DELICIOUS!!! We had the OG cheeseburger and it delivered. The salt and vinegar fries were cooked to crispy on the outside perfection. Glad we took our time to check out a few of the spots that were recommended.
Late Saturday dinner for 2 in June, Naanwitches were served quickly and delicious as lettuce bowls. Friendly service, good selection of beer.
I intend on going back without a doubt.
Really delicious, unique food choices. Generous portions and reasonably priced!
The all you can eat mussels were to die for. Soooooo good.
I was disappointed in the amount that I paid for appetizers for what I got. Lovely people and cute place though!
Great food!
Amazing food, and staff. Will definitely be back.
Good food, big portions; you won t go hungry. A great find - especially in a gas station parking lot!
It was delicious! The meals have lots of flavor and freshness. Several options and accompanying choices are available Childrens menu available (ask for options during service) Fast and courteous service! A great discovery :-) Parking: The place is shared with a gas station Kid-friendliness: Childrens menu available on request. Several options. Fast service.
Way overpriced. Food is ok, don t understand the hype. It s average pub food at best. Avoid the mac and cheese. Paid $16 for a tiny portion that tastes like bland noodles.
Great selections on the menu. Friendly staff. Nice decor. Served promptly & had a great presentation. Appetizer of Brussel sprouts was delicious.
The Dragon Bowl Salad is the best salad Ive had in a restaurant in many years. Excellent !!
Incredible burger, super crispy fries. Cocktail was perfectly made. Food : 5/5
Monks and Jonesie is an awesome place for a meal! I prefer Bishop over the Golf Club! Food is delicious, staff are attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable! Dietary restrictions: I appreciate that almost every meal can be vegetarian or vegan!
Weve been there twice, heading through Fredericton. Both times the food and staff were great! Will be back again.
Great little hole in the wall !!! I absolutely cannot say enough about this place. Ive been here once before, and the apps are huge and a meal in itself. The staff are super friendly! Like talking to old friends.... Honestly, as long as the food is great and the staff are personable, nothing else matters. Great experience 10/10 I forgot to take a pic early on, but it smelled, looked, and tasted amazing! The dressing was spot on ! And tasted fresh.
Amazing food! Lets put it that way. I rarely give 5 stars but. This one deserves 10 stars. Everything is perfect, trust me. Love it here Food : 5/5 |
Great food and great service
The pulled duck poutine is DA BOMB! Its not classic poutine But everything about the flavor and the duck just works together so well on a whole other level.
At gem in Fredericton NB
Wow! What a fantastic place. Food was excellent, our server was awesome!
AWESOME stop get gas and lunch going through Fredericton perfect pitstop. Love the variety of flavours of fries for sides, the Salt and Vinegar flavour was perfect. Had the Korean Burrito 10/10!
The smoke meat grill cheese is amazing. We will be back.
This is one of those hidden gem places. The food was excellent, so good in fact that we had to come back, not once, not twice, but three times during a work trip. Highly recommended.
Cozy pub restaurant tucked away in North Fredericton. Good menu options and service. Nice craft beer selection. Enjoyed the atmosphere!
Food was amazing! Quick service, high quality. Definitely recommend & probably will return. We got: BBQ Chicken nachos Maple Curry chicken Penne Sweet Hawaiian Chicken Naanwich
Unfortunately they have gotten rid of their vegan menu ~ only one vegan option here now.
Why this place has such a high rating is mind blowing. If youd like to pay fine dining fredericton prices for grocery store take and go food quality check out this spot. Consistently it has been poor quality food. Vegetarian options: Bad lol
Great food. Well priced! Wish they would bring back the Chicago style pizza!!!
Have enjoyed the food here.
Unfortunately didnt enjoy part of our meal. Beef Brisket wrap was great, would definitely recommend. The Red Thai Curry was dry which I wasnt expecting. Ive had lots of curries but this was the first Ive had that didnt have sauce and chicken was really salty.
Awesome place! Very cozy and warm, the servers and the owners are so friendly, its very welcoming. Congratulations to those in the kitchen, because theyre the reason Im doing this review: the squash bruschetta was amazing, the lamb was so tender and divine... and the real show stopper, the chicken and waffle ice cream! My god, its hard to believe how fried chicken, fried bacon and ice cream would go together ao well, BUT THEY DO!
I don t know why everyone doesn t eat here. It s a cozy place to be, and the food is great. The Harvest Salad, Butter Chicken Nachos and Peanut Butter pie are favourites!
Nice little spot
The Mojo dip is fabulous! Service top notch and great Caesars. Amazing brunch as well.
This is a hidden gem in Fredericton. Excellent food and service.
Great restaurant and great service. Prices are fair and food is amazing.
My go to place ...friendly staff and the food is delicious. One of a kind place to eat!!
Great food
Good food close to office
Phenomenal food, exceptional service. Not only was the food in generous portions, but it was SO WELL PRICED. We will absolutely come here again if we come through Fredricton!
Although the waitress was very friendly and pleasant the service was very slow.
Great service from wonderful servers! They really know their business and how to connect with customers. Oh, fine menu too!
Delicious food and excellent staff. Very friendly and accommodating.
Our party of 3 went for lunch. My only nit is that there seemed to be a lack of urgency at lunchtime for more speedy service. Otherwise, the service was friendly and efficient. While they got an order incorrect, the issue was resolved quickly. The food came out hot and well prepared. Everyone spoke highly of their dishes and we all walked away full. A great spot!
Nice carrot cake!
First time there, the food was very good. The servers were very nice and polite. A little pricey for lunch so not an everyday thing but again it was very good.
Delicious food and super friendly service. The fella that served us was funny and happy and made sure we enjoyed everything. We have been to M+Js several times and will definitely be back again! The new Mac attack nachos were amazing!
Great food and service and a cute outdoor area to eat. Will be back!
Brisket nan-wich was sooo amazing
Amazing food....great portions...awesome staff! A must stop in Fredericton!!
Have gotten takeout from this place twice both times it was top notch food. Crispy fries, tasty burger with lots of toppings and nice spices. Cinnamon bun cheesecake was fantastic plus thats a new one Ive never had! Would recommend to anyone
Everything was beyond awesome! Brisket, poutine, fish tacos!!!! So delicious. Good people made it perfect. A must stop!
This is easily one of the top 5 best restaurants in Fredericton. A true hidden gem. The pub style food is out of this world good. They have the best fries of any restaurant I ve ever had. Shoestring, buffalo spiced and crispy to perfection. And their mains and appetizers are amazing. I love how you can customize some of the meals to be either a sandwich or a rice bowl or a poutine and so on. It s ingenious! I ve been to their restaurant and food truck several times and it s always consistently great. Great service. Their restaurant is small inside but very nice. I love the canoe! 10/10!
Terrific food.
Love this restaurant. Staff is super friendly, establishment was inviting and nice and clean. Food was delish, I had a greek salad with my meal and it was one of the best I have ever had,
Amazing food! We shared duck egg rolls, then had pork belly bowl and pulled duck naan wrap with sweet potato waffle fries. WOW! No shortage of great tasting, interesting food. The staff was happy and friendly. There was attention to our needs with a sense of humour from the time we walked through the door. Highly recommend Monks & Jonsie.
I wish I lived closer so I could visit this restaurant every day. Every disc golfer needs to stop at Monks & Jonesie on their way to the disc golf course!
I was excited to try this place and the menu looked super interesting took my 2 boys and husband out all of our food was cold, had it been warm it would have been really good. My husband did not enjoy his poutine but there was nothing wrong with it other then it was cold just his opinion not sure if I will go back I also did not say anything to the server as Im not that kind of person
Super cute restaurant, phenomenal food and flavours!
I love going to Monks & Jonesie for the awesome naanwiches that are spins of classic pub food but easier to eat and just as filling Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available i.e. a plant based naan-wich and sandwich. Kid-friendliness: Children welcome with high chairs available Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor entrance that is wheelchair accessible
Our meals were delicious. The atmosphere was very welcoming. Went out for our 17th anniversary Food : 5/5
Disappointed with food quality with the prices. It was my second time I wont be back .
Good food great people working there!!
We love Monks & Jonesie! Food is great! The waitress, Lorraine! Is amazing! Thank you!
The food is amazing , staff is lovely , the menu and specials are great. Quaint atmosphere . Highly recommend.
Great service, yummy food
Came for lunch today, then back for dinner tonight.
Great food, exceptional service and lovely food presentation. Definitely a must go place to dine!
I love the burgers the beers and the services !
Fantastic, unique menu. Delicious. Thank you!
Place is great and they make a real mean caeser !!!
This place is a hidden gem. They are located inside a gas station and carwash but dont let that deter you. The food is quite diverse and fairly unique from the standard menu offered in Fredericton. They also have a mobile food truck.
Mac and cheese??? Should be called noodles and cheese. 3rd time in a row giving this place another shot, quality has gone way down since they opened.
Great local restaurant and food truck with top notch service for both dine-in and takeout. Good unique food menu and a great local beer selection.
The Mervin Burger is mouthwateringly delicious!
This is one of the most consistent restaurants in town! Ive always had a great experience. We tried their Chicago Deep Dish Pizza that is only served on Fridays and it is to die for! They need to serve it 7 days a week..... Amazing!
Food is super good. One of the best local restaurants in Freddy.. they offer unique and diverse selection of food. my husband likes pork belly adobo and i love the steak salad.
Awesome staff, food and very understandable menu with lots of choice!
Easy takeout process, delicious food and absolutely awesome staff! I was really happy for my first visit!
We re new in town & we ordered takeout from Monks & Jonesie for the first time this week. The menu sounded so good we couldn t decide what to order so we tried so many things! The MOJO dip was , the cauliflower bites were delicious, & the naanwiches were out of this world. We ll definitely be ordering from them again!
Very tasty always yummy
The breakfast special was fantastic! Best breakfast pizza I have ever had. Tasty and huge, I had to take half home!
Fantastic food!!
Great experience at monks & jonesies. Service was friendly and fast, food was delicious and portions were big. Def a must try
Monks & Jonesie s is by far one of my absolute favourite restaurants to hit up on a hard day. The food is spectacular, service is efficient and friendly, and the overall experience at their location is warm & welcoming.
The literal only downside to eating here is having to choose what to eat can I have the whole menu please Food quality, menu, drink selection, friendly staff, all perfect. I wasn t sure what to expect walking in to the dine in location, as it s attached to a gas convenience store, but it s gorgeous. Great atmosphere. You can stop scrolling through the google food options now, just go here, you won t regret it.
Great food
This place has awesome food, awesome staff and awesome owners. You will never be disappointed with your experience in the restaurant or the food truck. Everything I have ever ordered far exceeded my expectations. Keep up the great work folks. Have a great day everyone.
This was our first visit but not our last. Delicious food, and great service. Thanks to our server Bailey, she was very good with our 3 yesr old. I highly recommend this place if you havent already tried it.
Awesome food, awesome atmosphere. Awesome service. . Good alcoholic selection. Highly recommended. They have a food truck as well
Food was good, server was kind and humorous! Definitely a good chill spot to have some quick food and a couple drinks
Fusion foods! Outstanding servers! Brick & mortar food truck evolution! We loved our meal here (I had the butter chicken naanwich & Buffalo fries) and will definitely be back the next time we come through town. What we d like to see: Monks & Jonesie in Ontario.
The fried pickles dipping sauce is wonderful, great donair and fish sandwiches.
This place had amazing food. We just ordered for pickup, but wish we couldve eaten in as the inside seems really nice
Always amazing service, like coming home:) I look forward to my next visit. The food is without a doubt, blow your mind every time! Loved the company too :) see ya soon!
Super fast and friendly service!
One of my top 3 favourite places in Fredericton. Never a bad meal, always consistent and good. Exciting food, great atmosphere! Will be back again and again.
Great food but the location is a bit out of the way!
Absolutely fabulous. This place is a little hidden Gem!! Food was amazing. Service just as good. The owner is super! Cant wait to come over again from PEI! Thank you so much!
Had a great experience at monks & Jonesie. Lots to choose from the menu with plenty of options for your taste and dietary needs. Split the Brussel sprouts they were very tasty. Liked the nuts. I had the spicy Hawaiian chicken Naanwiches. The sweet potato cross fries were delicious. My partner had the Korean bbq bowel. It could use more flavour but add some salf and was good. Portions were large and priced fairly. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Love this place, our favorite place to eat when visiting Fredericton. The food is always amazing. I promise you wont leave disappointed.
Muggsies? Moxies? Mugsin? Mugs and Jones? Oh, right Monks and Jonesie. Right beside the Irving there on Bishop drive. Nestled between the car wash and the couche tard. A nice joint for a quick bite but boys was it ever cool inside. I seen folks with their coats on in there. Brrr. After the sit down and order lunch came soon enough. A rice bowl with edamame, shaved carrots, pickled red onions, and pan-fried pork belly. Each ingredient quite a taste on its own. But together? Raucous! That dish couldnt pick a lane. It was like corduroy with a pair of denim. Not my style. Not my price tag, either. Twas a bit dear for what it was, so when done was done, I was left wondering where Id gone wrong. Wrong day? Wrong order? Wrong name?
Best sweet potato waffle fries ever...also loved the cubano tacos with peameal and pork belly...great service as well
Beef brisket Nanwich was awesome as usual
