The Flats Eatery + Drink — Restaurant in Saskatoon

Our good friend recommended this place as we were looking to try steak other than Chopped and The Keg. My friend told us to try The Flats as they have great steak. Me and my hubby went last night and we liked the ambiance. We both ordered steak as we were told it was great. I had the Turf & Surf which has side garlic seafoods (shrimp and scallops) on top of the 12oz steak while my hubby had the Caramelized Steak with caramelized onions and mushrooms on top of the 12oz. First thing I have to mention is.. the Steak we got is very thin, dry and I believe it isn't 12oz. I cook and portion protein meat for my husband's meal every day and I know what a 12oz steak just by looking at it. Secondly, seafoods are tasteless. It tastes like those frozen seafood bags you buy from Walmart and just thawed them. We both got garlic mashed potatoes and taste nothing but bland. Can barely taste garlic so ended up not eating it. Our server was Starr she was accommodating but what we didn't like was when we paid for the food.. my hubby skipped the tip option as he is not a tipper if all you did was do your regular customer service job, Starr asked my husband when she saw there was no tip. "Have I done something wrong here tonight?" My husband answered "nothing.." Starr then went back to the kitchen and not even saying "Have a great rest of your day" or anything.. I was at the washroom at that time but when I was done, I just saw my husband waiting for me by the door. And told me what happened while I was gone. I don't really leave negative feedback but this is just ridiculous. We would've try it here one more time maybe change try different menu but from the servers attitude, maybe not coming back...

We were frequent customers of rock creek before the flats moved in, coming to eat almost every weekend as we live very close by. We finally decided to give the flats a try and it was TERRRIBLE. We won’t be back. Was informed the soup was a creamy pickle soup with potatoes and carrots so all of us ordered. Received a heated up bowl of pickle juice with 3 tiny diced pickles within. No potatoes, no cream, no carrots, nothing but warm pickle juice and 3 pickles. Terrible. Drink orders were messed up and returned twice and still didn’t get what we asked for. Asked for sour cream and butter three times before receiving. Mashed potatoes were lumpy, cold, and serving portion was extremely small. Sandwiches were extremely small and despite being called a “grilled cheese” had a very small unmelted amount of cheese. $19 for a Christmas themed martini…. Taking a bite of the chicken wrap was like a mouthful of straight jalapeños. Server was doing her best to help out and fix problems and was very kind but were very disappointed with food service overall. Each of us (3) paid over $80 to receive a tiny, gross meal that none of us finished, wait forever for things we had asked for, and constantly send back our incorrectly made drinks just to be returned the same thing over and over… looks like we will have to find a new place for our weekly girls night. Such a disappointment! The live music was nice however way too loud for a Friday dinner service. It’s nice in there, it’s unfortunate the food and...

Where do I start: appetizer 10/10. We got the Frickles (Deep fried pickles). So far these are our favorite in Saskatoon mostly due to the way they are cut. Instead of being out length wise they are cut in "dollar" size. This makes them bite size and don't burn your mouth or pull the pickle out of the deep fried coating. Just dip in ranch and put the entire thing in your mouth. Drinks: Best Caesar in the city. This is my opinion as the Snow Bird Caesar is made with whiskey and not vodka. Absolutely amazing. My wife had the Berry Happy, which we asked our server Kira for her recommendation on a sweeter drink. She didn't disappoint as this was so good. Food: steak dip, I'm a beef dip fan so I had to try. It was delicious. The aju sauce was perfect saltiness and the bread for the steak dip was so soft. 10/10 My wife got the Thia chicken wrap, nice spicy kick with alot of flavor. The flats also offer 2 sides, yes people, 2 sides with their meals. They are small portions but it's honestly all you need as having 2 sides plus your main is lots of food. What sides would I recommend, out of the 4 sides we tried, the sweet potato fries were hands down the BEST. These come with house made dip that surprised us. We could not stop talking about the dip.

Will be...
