My ribs were great-- cooked well with tasty sauce. However, my baked potato had a bad spot that was at least a quarter of it's entire volume. My wife faired worse-- she wanted the pan fried walleye, and after a lengthy pause, the waitress came back and said they were out, so she got the perch at a 10% discount and asked for it to be pan fried as well. It came back with some sort of uncooked flour coating-- my wife asked several times and the waitress insisted it was just salt and pepper. My wife even brushed some of the flour away, and the uncooked consistency made it totally unappealing, and she didn't eat it. Her mash was inedible as well- a huge tasteless blob of stuff that same off her plate with a single lift of the fork. Luckily the cheese soup and salad bar gave her something to eat. Breakfast the next morning was another spilt decision-- loved my corn beef hash with poached egg but my wife again got the wrong pancake. Lovely hotel, great stay, but a little concentration would have helped here.Dave,We are very sorry to hear that your experience with some of the food was unsatisfactory. We unfortunately ran out of walleye that particular evening. Please know that we have looked into why this happened and will try to make sure this does not happen again. We hope that you will dine with us again and will give us the opportunity to perfect your dining experience. Thank you again for taking the time to give a review so that we can always strive for perfection.Thank you,Hotel Mead Staff and Management

Went on a Saturday for the steak special. They have a 2 lb steak on Saturday. You must get there by 3:30 or you won't get the steak. They only have a limited number of them. My husband and I shared the steak and payed extra for an extra serving of fries and bread. The steak was cooked perfectly...medium well...and service was great. A bit of fat on the steak. I would go back here to try other things on the menu.

Very unprofessional hostess and servers. They were trying to seat us table of of 6 but it was almost funny watching the miscommunications between these girls. Finally sat and ordered. The food was not very good. I had ordered the Tai Shrimp Salad and it was mostly cabbage and carrots. Won’t go back.

Freddie's Pub & Eatery

Reviewed By Steven B

Freddie’s is full of happy people and has great food; a perfect combination. It’s a place for common everyday people. Does it have amazing architecture? Well no. Are the interior surroundings overly impressive? Well no. Well what makes it so great? Its ordinary. Yep, you might just think that you were at a party in someone else’s home. Tonight the place was really hopping with a youthful crowd. Tis the season to make merry during the holidays you know. There was music and people getting together to just unwind and enjoy one another. Flat screens featured sports, there were dart boards, pool tables, and pin ball machines – oh, and there was food; good food. I went with the fish fry. The racket fries were great, there was marbled rye bread, and the fish, oh my! Beautiful slabs of deep fried haddock – tender, flakey, lean. So fresh you would think they just jumped out of the water. Yes, it was a plentiful platter, a wondrous feast. So there you have it. Happy people, great food, a winning combination at Freddie’s.

I stepped into the bar from outside and the friendly face of a wait staff person appeared. She was relaxed and good natured even though the eatery was hopping with action. People were dining everywhere experiencing fabulous food at their tables. I had just gotten out of work myself and was still in my work shirt. The friendly faced gal told me it might take up to twenty minutes for me to be seated. I looked up at the menu on the wall and noticed bluegills as an entrée so I told her I was only one person and would sit anywhere. My attention was focused upon beautiful knotty pine boxcar siding throughout the room, along with the oak horseshoe bar. A voice brought me back to the moment at hand as the gal called my name. ‘Steve, would this spot work for you? There was a spot on the end of the bar where the bills were being made out but it looked fine to me. I picked up a menu and looked at the many options: appetizers, sandwiches, seafood, soup of the day, hand carved prime rib, southern fried chicken, prime & shrimp, homemade pizza, and daily specials. It all looked so good, but I was preoccupied with the idea of eating blue gills so that is what was ordered – a half pound of blue gills. The food arrived in no time at all. Steaming fries with the skins on; not hard and crunchy but just right, along with a dinner roll. The fillets were exquisite. Perfect, and as large as the palm of my hand. Tender white flesh wrapped in golden brown batter as thin as a dime. So light and flakey, a wonder to behold. I ate a couple of fillets along with the roll and fries. Soon only the filets were left, I savored each one and eventually dipped them into my side order of apple sauce. The semi sweetness added to the blue gill was pure heaven. A couple of older ladies had been watching all this time and finally one spoke up. She said, “ I thought you did not like the fish because you stopped eating them. But now I realize you were saving the best for last.” Boone’s Saloon was a great experience, in part because of the friendly faces of the wait staff.

Was traveling in Rapids and dining alone. Hesitated to order the 14 oz. ribeye at $29 as you never know what you're going to get in a new restaurant, but I'm glad I did. It had to be closer to 16 oz. and cooked perfectly (medium). In addition, the blue cheese topping was excellent. Very nice atmosphere and great service. Also, it's right across the street from the Mead Hotel.Thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to leave us this review, Scott! We will definitely be passing your compliments on to our staff. We are so glad you dined with us, and it will be our pleasure to serve you again soon so you can try more items on our menu and let us know your thoughts.

Small place, with very friendly staff. We were from out of town playing golf and stopped by afterwards for dinner before driving back to Lake Arrowhead. Amy our waitress was very friendly, not rushing us and giving us prompt service once we placed our orders. Yea we were looked at when we walked in, as many locals go there and the staff knew them all by name as they served them, Worth the visit and eats were good

While visiting my parents, they took us here for dinner where we also met my sister and her husband. My folks and sister go here frequently. The bar area is roomy and casual but inviting and is separate from the dining area. They have lakeside views too from either the bar or dining area. Bar area has high top tables too. Dining area is spacious. Great broasted chicken, which I had. My husband had the jumbo shrimp dinner and that was great too. All the food was great. The only complaint was that once we ordered we waited quite a long time for our food. It wasn’t overly busy so not sure why the wait was so long. I realize the chicken probably takes longer and I understand that. If you’re in a hurry, probably don’t want to order the chicken! Otherwise, it was a very pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend this place!!
