I ordered a beef dip through SkipTheDishes. It was delivered no issues there. But I got the beef dip. It had no au jus. The Beef dip itself was terrible. It was slopped together and the bread was not nice at all. Barely buttered. Very...dry. I paid $33 and ate 2 bites. It was terrible.More

Just a mediocre pub. Food was just OK, service was good. Fish Chowder fair but overpriced. Will pass on this restaurant next time.

ok, pub. Limited menu, mostly meat. The service was excellent. My ribs were OK, seafood chowder was not worth the $10. Nice outdoor seating. Can miss this one next time.

Burgers were overdone and dry. The ribs were charred overdone and dry as my great Grandmother. I paid 90$ for a burnt dinner. I was so tired from my day with my family all we wanted was a delicious meal and a funny movie. The...movie was great the food was crap. Never ordering there again Did I mention the food was crap.More

Last night a friend took me to Fluid for a celebration dinner. The seating was fine and the selection of drinks- many of them local - was good but my meal was definitely not up to scratch. My friend had a chicken Ceasar salad and...I had a simple burger and fries. Nothing complicated. The salad, according to my friend was over dressed with the lettuce swimming in sauce and my burger was so dry it tasted like grilled pressboard. Oh, the bun was toasted - a nice touch - and the condiments - pickle, cheese, etc - was okay, however it was a struggle to choke down the burger. I don't know if they had been precooked and left under the salamander to keep warm for hours on end but there was no juice left in it. I should have pulled the patty off the bun and eaten everything else leaving the burger to go back to the chef. As it was I did not finish my plate.More

Dropped in for supper after a day of shopping. Great location very close to our motel. Food was excellent - we had the steak frites and the steak salad. Both steaks were perfectly cooked and very tender. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. We...had the creme brûlée for dessert which was also perfect. Food arrived in a timely fashion and both meals were excellent value for the price.More

My friends and I went off recommendations from hotel front desk that the fluid bar and grill had great food and a lot to choose from from the menu. Well he was correct that there was a good amount of options to choose from, however...the food was not very good. Two of us ordered the Jambalaya meal and it was not good nor would we consider it jambalaya. I have had better tasting jambalaya in a microwaveable packet. My other friend had the Ruben sandwich which was good. Would Definitely Not recommend anyone to order the jambalaya dish, try something else if you decide to go there. My fiends and I would probably not eat there again though.More

My grandpa wanted to go to fluid for his birthday lunch, there was 6 adults. two who had been there before and the other 4's first time. I checked out the menu before leaving and it looked really good. It's pub style food so most...people can normally find something. Everyone found what they wanted and ordered. I ordered the Spanish burger, sounds like everything I like in life. I mentioned that I have a mushroom allergy and that I know it is not on the burger but if she could please let the kitchen know to avoid cross contamination. She repeated it back to me. When our food arrived I always look over it and somehow I received the loaded burger (no one at the table ordered it) which is a mushroom burger. I waited 5 mins and still had not seen the server so I went and found her to let her know, she said sorry but did not seem to mean it, she then reordered my food. I waited 45mins (in a slow restaurant) for my food, everyone at the table was well finished when my food finally arrived. In that 45 mins she never came back to our table to refill drinks, check on people or anything. I could not believe the poor service we were given especially after you could have hospitalized myself. I am a understanding person and get that these things happen. Mistakes are made. Even when I fished my meal we waited around for the bill, finally my spouse got up and found her to pay the bill. I'm not going to lie I expected something off the bill, not something for free but they did not even offer 10% my food. The food was good but not outstanding. I am glad my grandparents like it there but I will never be back. I wish I took more pictures but I forgot.More

Wife and I went to Fluid to celebrate her birthday. I have absolutely no complaints, although my wife thought there was too much garlic in everything (she always does..lol). Between the two of us we had spinach dip, fish and chips and the flat iron...steak sandwich.. Everything was hot, fresh and tasty. The server was excellent throughout. She was friendly and checked on us as required. Saved a few dollars by showing up during happy hour. Will definitely be back.More

We visited this establishment in November 2021. Very friendly, & efficient staff. Ambience was casual. We sat on the lounge side so we're able to watch all the activity at the bar over the lunch hour. Skip the dishes were there non stop while the...patrons in the establishment were also very well tended to. Seemed to be a very well organized system. Moving on to the food. We ordered the fish and chips with a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was fresh and very delicious dressing. The fish was lightly battered and cooked perfectly, served with a very bland tartar sauce and surprisingly delicious kimchi slaw (had tang, spice & crunch). Highly recommend this place, it seems a lot of locals spend their lunch money there.More
