Redneck Bistro — Restaurant in Greater Madawaska

On Aug 16th my wife and I took a trip to this restaurant to check it out for some future atv club dinners. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny Friday afternoon and our first clue should have been the completely empty patio but we still thought we would give it a try. There was a girl in the patio, who we later learned was their hostess, who we greeted with a friendly hello but she ignored us. We picked up our own menus and sat down. After peeling apart the menus that were stuck together we waited patiently for some service. The same hostess came to the patios area two more times but again completely ignored us. After waiting 15 minutes my wife went to use the washroom and mentioned to the bartender that we were outside waiting to be served. About 5 mins later the hostess arrived with 2 glasses of water, once again ignored our greeting and promptly walked away without saying a word to us and seemed totally zoned out. I’m the meantime another gentleman who had sat down in the patio got up and said “ I guess I need to go inside for a cold one”. At this point we decided to leave and expressed our disappointment to a woman who initially said she was the manager but then later said she would inform the manager. All in all it was a very bizarre experience and our group will not be taking our business to this restaurant. We never did get an opportunity to try their food so can’t comment on the quality although an empty patio might be a good indication. Save your hard earned money and eat elsewhere or pack a lunch if your...

I ordered a restaurant Signature item known as Redneck Signature Salad .. as described on the menu ...Redneck Signature Salad, "Grilled Salmon, avocado, goat cheese, apple, and candied walnuts on a bed of mixed greens with honey poppyseed dressing. Gluten free.” the folks accompanying me ordered the Chicken Club Wrap and the Steak Sandwich ... all three items were very good in taste and quality .... the issue arises with my salad and the portion size of the grilled salmon which was the sized of a fish stick no larger than my middle finger which is representative of my inner thoughts concerning the size of the grilled salmon .... in addition I checked with my server as the menu indicated the salad comes with Garlic Bread.... I assumed it to be 2 slices of toasted garlic bread and not 2 potato chip size pita bread which I received... the servings for the chicken wrap and steak sandwich were massive and the folks at the table did have a good giggle when I pointed to the size of the grilled salmon and the alleged pieces of garlic bread .... for folks ordering in the future I would ask the server is the grilled salmon the same size as the salmon offered in the Almond Crusted Salmon entree. As the rating review reflects service atmoshphere 5 and the 1 star food is a reflection of the skimpy portions for the restaurants so called SIGNAUTURE item...

Food and staff are meh. Last year was better. I met the head chef and paid my compliments on my amazing lamb burger I ordered. It was incredible. And he was so nice and the staff was nice. This time (a year later) I asked about the lamb and they don't have it. So I asked if they have the same head chef (I'd love to know some tricks to make my own spiced lamb burger) and she said "ummm... I don't know. Probably?.... “ then left. When she walked by again she said" the shrimp tacos Are good" okay thanks. So I asked "can I get a small ceasar and the smallest fry you have for my son (as he doesn't eat much at his age) and she stared at me for a good 5 seconds before saying" okay" and walking away. She's behind the bar talking to another server and talking about their personal life loudly. I see a huge difference in a year. I was so excited to come back here and i can live without the lamb, but the staff is not as friendly as they were last time. The smallest fry I asked for (thinking was kid sized) was half the size of my two year old. My small ceasar salad was maybe a cup and a bit of romane in what I'm thinking is mayonnaise for dressing. I sent it back and apologized that I didn't like it. Then she went over to the girl she was gossiping to and whispered and they both looked at me....
