Review Dj Purdy's Lounge - Fredericton

Would have rated higher if the food came out warmer. The club was okay. The fish was real good. The fish was ordered off the “catch” restaurant menu. Will just eat at “Catch” if I am back for a visit. $51.00 before tip. No drinks. Two dishes.

Expensive for no reason. Went there with my team from work, their chicken club came uncooked, the burgers had no taste, not even a bit of salt in them, had to put salt on every bite I took, their 1lb wings did not seem like 1lb, asked for a really hot sauce and they threw together a "hot" sauce that was definitely weak. The first spot where i gave no tip, even though the waiter was really nice to us. I am so sorry buddy. #neveragain

Very slow service, and when ordered just one item that was overly modified and no sides was still charged full for something I didn't even have. A friends burger was burnt, another had to be sent back cause a main topping on the burger was forgotten by the kitchen. Would not done again due to service, food and cost.

Great spot to relax and enjoy a nice meal. I bit expensive given what is offered even for your basic starters but that aside the atmosphere is warm and inviting. The wifi is reliable and fast and as a writer, it's a great place to pour out my thoughts.

Spent a week at this hotel and ate all my dinners at the hotel bar/resto. So I’m a bit of an expert at the unfortunately-named 'DJ Purdy’s', circa Feb 2018. Nice room features lots of tables, although many of them are of the ‘lounge’ sort, so not ideal for eating. 4 tv’s, all on sports, all on mute. As most of the time it was sports talk shows, I suggested to a server that they use closed captioning so that one could at least read what’s being said, as is done at many other bars. She said she had no idea how to do that. Great view of the majestic St. John (Wolastoq) river. Red wine – I don’t understand why so many half-decent restaurants serve red wine at room temperature (WARM room temp at that) but this place does too. Beer- New Brunswick has an AMAZING small brewer scene and this bar stocks just a couple. A real shame. It’s not on the menu but unless you’re very hungry, ask about ½ size portions, because some portions here are very big. I found things VERY hit and miss here, so offer the following itemized reviews, with the caveat that your taste, of course, may not be mine. In order I had the: • Seafood bisque/stew/soup – excellent • Cod – wrapped in bacon, fingerling potatoes, broccolini – amazing. I had the pinot grigio with this and it was an excellent match. Extra points for decently-sourced fish. • Salmon w mashed potatoes, veg – good but the cod is much better and for a dollar less • Mussels – Excellent. Large portion for $12. • Pad thai – poor, $20 + $3 more for added rubbery chicken is way overpriced for this. I was expecting to be wowed for that money but was instead treated to a seriously sub-standard pad thai that was heavy in sauce but light on the thai flavours that can make this dish so yummy. No cilantro! Hardly even any peanut flavouring. Fish sauce? Tomato sauce? Undetectable. Avoid. • Nachos – fair quality, huge portion. Two of us shared the ½-size portion, thinking it an appetizer. It ended up being dinner for both of us and could have fed another, very hungry person, if not two more. • Veg dip – fair, for what it is. • Caesar salad – very large, good quality, with plentiful chunks of parmesan and bacon, and not over-dressed. This would make a perfectly large appetizer for two. • Pizza – a real letdown. Curiously, two of the three menu pizza choices are very meat-heavy, so I opted for the vegetarian. Thin crust pizza should be crisp; this crust was underdone, soft, and floppy. I had to cut it up and eat it with a fork. There was also too much mozzarella and too few vegetables. And I forgot: way too salty. Avoid. • Green Salad – A winner. Nice greens, nuts, cheese, tomato. ½ order makes for a more-than-large-enough appetizer. • Chicken Wings – Very good, large and moist. I ordered ‘bbq’ which tasted like artificial smoke so I wouldn’t go with that again. • Fries – excellent. • Prime rib- avail Fri & Sat only. Excellent. Again, very large portion at a great price. • Cod, again. Not as great as the first time but still a winner.

There were hardly any customers, but the waitress tried to get our larger party out the door as quickly as possible.

Waited 30 mins for service finally ordered and waited another 30 mins for the food finally came out said credit debit was down. Food still not here worse service ever !@

Had a bit of a family reunion. The staff were curtious and took care of all our needs professionally and in a timely manner.

They were not very busy. One gentleman at the bar and the bartender completely ignored us. Then we moved to a table, the waiter was friendly but slow. Took a long time for my husband to get a second drink. The chicken wings were very dry. Cheese plate was good, burger was decent and Woodstock salad was nice. Over all I would say pricey but mediocre. It was in the Hotel which was convenient.

Always a great place for a late evening hang out with friends. Awesome beers on tap, huge nachos and top notch service (Sam was great. Attentive and proactive) of course we will be back!!!

Wonderful food great friends and a great place to spend the evening
