Reviews for Fred's Mesquite Grill in Butte, MT
Food was way overpriced for portions, service was really slow, waiter was not knowledgeable, they seemed to be out of everything... we asked for, food was mediocre at best. My steak was overcooked and under seasoned. The drinks tasted watered down. Read more
WASH YOUR HANDS! More like 2.5/5.. Food was decent, took a little longer than expected for a slow Sunday afternoon. No one... seemed to be in a hurry to help, which is difficult when we have a toddler with us. Saw many glances at phones in the openkitchen, chatting with friends at the bar; could have easily expedited our service without being an inconvenience. But staff wasfriendly when we interacted. Like I said, food was decent. Expected portions for price, chicken a little average. Kiddo lovedthe fish & chips. Kebobs tasty, linguine cooked well. But two things that stood out: Please put a layer of epoxy on yourtables! Paint is peeling off, and easily scratched by silverware is unappetizing, as well as a hazard. Next time I'll berequesting a different table. Secondly, WASH YOUR HANDS! Again, open kitchen lets everyone see what does and doesn't happen! Notonce between eating, handling dirty dishes or trash, and possibly raw food did I see hand washing, it even evidence of it (likedrying off hands with towels). One of the cooks that was sharing a meal at the bar even picked something out of his teeth, thenwent right back to cooking. He also ate food with bare hands, and again, straight into the kitchen. I managed restaurants fordecades, this is one of the simplest tasks all staff should do, especially with the pandemic; food safety should be critical!WASH YOUR HANDS! Read more
Ate here during Folk Festival. It was busy but nothing too terrible. Everything was terrible. Waited almost 2 hours to get... our food. Only got served drinks once. Food was all over cooked and cold. Worst experience any of us have ever had here. Itwas just sad how bad this restaurant has gotten. It used to be great. Hopefully they get things fixed!!! Read more
Food was good wait a little long. But our waitress tried to have us pay someone else bill because she gave our bill to someone... else Crazy. She said it would be less but was actually more. I said I pay for what we ordered and she commented I?ll have towrite up a new one. I?ve never had anyone ask me to pay someone else?s bill Read more
We waited over an hour for our food. We were seated outside and it was freezing. Of course we were in a storm. No music like... indoors which was a bummer. It was 3 of us and 1 drink was ordered. It was over a hundred which wouldn't have been bad but theservice is really lacking. We would ask for things like sugar for example. We waited 30 mins and has another server bring it tous. I don't think they are used to being busy and coming from a larger city maybe our expectations for basic things like refillsare is set to high. But we won't be returning to this restaurant to eat again. Read more
If I could give them 7 stars I would. This has to be one of the best places to get steak in Montana and I have lived in this... state my whole life. The manager came out to see how our food was, and honestly the food is amazing. Service is friendly aswell. Honestly, we will become regulars. Read more
Fred?s is fantastic and a definite must if you are in Butte! Excellent, relaxing, casual place for lunch or dinner. The food was... just as wonderful as a service. They have both inside and outside covered seating. Large food selection on the menus, and youcan watch your food being prepared as it?s an open kitchen. Many of the ingredients and meats are sourced from Montana. Theyhave a very solid draft beer selection and full bar. There are several large screen TVs in the bar area if you want to watchwhatever games are going on. Very relaxed atmosphere for small or large parties. Very welcoming for families and kids. Sorry Ineglected to take a picture of my food, but I was so hungry, and it was so good! My burger was so large I couldn?t even finishit all. It was cooked perfectly and served on fresh ciabatta roll. It was one of the best tasting burgers that I?ve had inmonths. The cook even came over and asked if everything was prepared correctly. ** As of the date of this review, they do havereduced hours due to Covid, so It may be advisable to call ahead first ** Read more
