Riverside Pub — Restaurant in Miramichi

Kind of unbelievable, just tried to have breakfast here for the first time ever! But I guess I won’t be going back ever again because I didn’t even get to try the food.

We arrived at 11:30am and placed our order. A party of 6 came in 20 minutes after us as well as 5-6 other tables of two. We waited and watched these people come in and sit down after we had already placed our order. After watching the party of 6 and another two tables order and get their food before us we asked why our food was not ready and how much longer we would be waiting.

We were told there was actually no explanation for why the people who came in after us and ordered long after us had recieved their food before us.

The waitress was extremely rude and not concerned about why other people who ordered and sat down after us were currently eating while we watched them get their food.

There was no manager on shift to speak to so at 12:30 pm when we watched yet another table get their food when they arrived at 12:00 pm, 30 minutes after us we attempted to speak with our waiter who was attending to other people and not giving us any information on how much longer our food would be. Again she was extremely rude and couldn’t give us an explanation so we decided we were going to leave as we felt it incredibly unfair people who came in 30-40 minutes after us were now being served. Since breakfast stops being served at 12:00pm at most establishments we were unable to have breakfast today. I wanted to support an Indigenous owned business today with my money but your waitress made sure that didn’t happen.

We went to Hennesys for lunch instead as it’s a way better establishment. The staff there have never been rude to me and at the very least always make sure I get to eat before the people who have been seated after me. As any restaurant is supposed to operate. I can’t rate the food because we waited for over an hour and didn’t...

Our server Charlene was attentive without checking in too much, and kept the coffee flowing well 👍

I was shocked with how tasty the 6 oz steak that came with the Centennial breakfast was, pretty well perfectly medium and very tasty. The entire meal was phenomenal in flavour and for dirt cheap compared to any other place serving steak and eggs but here you still get bacon, sausage AND ham on top of it... Great meal for a meat lover.

My fiance had the Buffalo chicken burger and sweet potato fries which was also very well done.

The only downside was coffee was not included in the breakfast price, but that makes sense considering how cheap the rest of the meal was.

Update: we've now been here at least 10 times, the doneness of my breakfast steak is kinda all over the place but honestly for the super cheap price who can really expect it to be flawless, especially when the cheaper cut of beef they use is sometimes very thin and therefore nearly impossible to keep it less than medium well; it has been very tasty and tender regardless... I wouldn't want them to use a less cheap cut either, cause then they'd have to charge more lol! Also at least 3 times my steak has been closer to 12 OZ, definitely can't complain about...

My husband took me here with high hopes on a date night. The best thing about it was the food; the cook really knows what they're doing. I had the Seafood Cabonara and my husband had the Fish & Chips. Mine was outstanding with huge pieces of scallops, shrimp, mussels, etc. Even the garlic bread was fantastic. And his fries & fish were perfectly crispy. The only thing we weren't a fan of was the coleslaw, it was very cabbage heavy.

The resson for the 3 stars was the service. Mainly the fact that we saw a full glass spill at the bar, all over the floor and it went unattended to for 20-30 minutes. They didn't even ask if the customer who spilled it was okay. My husband said he saw two workers laugh at it and leave it. It was only much later that our waitress grabbed a mop. But there wasn't even a wet floor sign put down. It really bothered me. Also, our drinks were very strong. My husband's Old Fashioned was overpoured to the point he took one sip and couldn't drink it. I'm glad we stayed for the food but we weren't a big fan...
