4 Mile Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Town of Brunswick

We had heard very good things about their Friday night fish fry and decided to try it. (We have not been there since Smiths owned it - we used to be regulars then.) We called earlier to see if they took reservations and were told they do not. Understandable. Were told to come around 4:30 and the wait should be 30 to 45 minutes. We were there by 4:20 and told it would be about a 45 minute wait. We had drinks at the bar. My husband went to check on what estimated seating time would be at 5:30 and was told it should be about 45 minutes. So we waited until 6:15, checked again, and were told again about 45 minutes. My husband was not happy and explained that we had been waiting since 4:20. (And, I want to point out so were people all around us at the bar.) Amazingly, about 15 minutes later, we were given a table. Someone came relatively quickly, gave us water and took our order. By 7:30 we had our water and had gone to the salad bar but no food. The waitress had briefly stopped by several times during the hour to say that our food should be out shortly. So by 7:30 we had had enough, got up, stated our displeasure to the hostess and gave her money for our salads. She responded with a snarky 'have a good night' and walked away from us. Needless to say, we are EXTREMELY upset that we wasted a night out as we can't even say if they had good food or not since after over 3 hours we still did not have our order just small salads. I understand a business being busy but their customer service was horrendous - why didn't someone go around to people waiting and waiting and apologize? (Would have spent more but had only had some drinks and salad. See...

Review for Friday Night Fish Fry... It took an hour to get food once seated. While we waited, our waitress filled one round of the three so we took care ourselves at the bar, nbd. Once the food arrived I got 1/2 a cup of tartar for 4 pieces of fish. The fish was room temperature... we were a party of 2. The main dinning room had four tables empty of customers. The fries were hot but the potato inside the fry was grainy like a raw potato. I haven't sent food back in years, sent it all back. Fish came back hot which was nice. Fries came back undercooked and still fiberous like raw hashbrowns. Prices for a white claw and spotted cow tap was $9......

It is a "different" place than expected. The bartender was friendly, our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was surprisingly good. We tried the tater skins and large cheese curds for apps. They were good. I had the California burger and my son had the cod fish sandwich. Plentiful and made well. The burger was juicy and perfect, with toasted bun. We were pleased. Thay also offer a salad bar.. The ambiance left much to be desired. It's a dark place with tiny windows which makes you feel like you're on a boat. The chairs are a bit uncomfortable. But if you don't look around and just go for eats, it's a fine place....
