Reviews of Better Than Fred's (Night Club)

Rich Smallwood

Excellent Service! My wife and I arrived from out of province (heading home from essential work) and were looking for a meal that wasn't fast food. We ordered while sitting in their parking lot and the food was ready very quickly. I ordered a massive burrito with perogies - YUMM! My wife ordered a pulled pork grilled cheese - yum! Both were better than fast food but my wife said the pulled pork needed some sort of sauce to make it really good. My meal needed to have more sour cream for how many perogies there were. The bacon and onions on my meal were great and the food was hot. We sat in a parking lot to eat since we couldn't eat inside. Would have been a 5* review with those small changes... and we did eat everything! We would definitely stop again!

Recently had take out beef dip here.... it was delicious. But that's not the point of my review. My point it that I just got WAY above and beyond service. Last time (6 months ago) I ordered here, I also wanted beef dip to go. There was a mistake and I got the wrong order. I only noticed when I got back to my shop and there really wasnt time to return and get it corrected. I'm not mad about this, mistakes do happen, and I get it and I accept it. So on this trip (6 MONTHS LATER) I order before I come just like last time. When I show up, the first thing out of my waitress's mouth is. "Hey, were you the one that the last time you ordered you ended up with the wrong lunch?" She comped my lunch (which I wasn't even remotly expecting) and said that it had been bothering her for a long time. Gurrrrrlllll. That is a DAME sharp memory! Thanks for making my day! You made me feel special and I appriciate it. It may or may not be 6 months before I'm back again, but I certainly will be. The food is great and the service is even better.

Had the deep fried cheese curds with a hot sauce...Not too bad! Corn bread ????%. Meal was great tho mac and cheese was fresh and creamy goodness, onion rings are great quality. Brisket was very good , serious smoke going on here.

Tried out their spinach dip Burger and totally loved it, as well as their dill pickle soup.

Very choice scenery and friendly bar maidens. Very interesting BBQ menu. I had the BBQ sampler for 1 and it was fantastic and a lot of tasty meats! Even the side of mac and cheese was baked and deliciously fresh. I especially Love the smoked wings and ribs!

Lisa Martens

Christopher Chipesia

Love this place. Everytime I'm here it's a great experience. The food is excellent and always a fun time playing pool.

The server is a little bit awkward with us, I know she is tired and overwhelmed with her tables guest occupancy that's why I understand so I am rating the overall food quality only and not including the service. We will definitely be back for sure because we love your spinach dip and wings appetizer. We got off from our long day at work and we decided to come visit the "Better than Fred's" restaurant and yes, we didn't get disappointed. The taste of our food is way beyond expectation. Cheers for the chefs and owners who take a lot of pride of their menu and the business. Note: The server could've done better if she visited us and asks us if we wanted to order for more food or not because after she took our appetizer order and was served by the runner guy, she didn't visited us and asked us again not even once. Don't worry about it, we are not mad or anything. Just a frustration that we see her kept checking other tables and not even stop to check on us but that is totally understandable????

We were a group of 10. They forgot to put my meal through but made up for it and it was worth the wait!!! Service was good and we had a great time! Thanks!

Better than Fred's had never failed to exceed expectations! Delicious BBQ without feeling commercialized or gimmicky that always has a relaxing atmosphere.

The servers were very polite and stopped by every so often to check up on me. As for the food, The beef brisket was a 10/10! The only thing I didn't enjoy was the boneless chicken wings. They were too soft. Slightly soggy. They offered to have them remade, which was very nice of them while also taking it off the bill (which I only noticed once I got my bill.) The skor cheesecake was great and presentation was phenomenal. The Vacation on Mars was ok. The ice cream was slightly bland but it was still good enough to be enjoyable. Overall, 5 stars.

Worst rib dinner of my life! They were brought out and the top few weren't too bad. But then they got worse. Dried out and tasteless. They were kept under a warmer or microwaved prior to serving! Awful tasting trash! When I complained they never even offered to reduce the bill any! For $35 you could get a decent rack of ribs somewhere else in this city! Don't waste your money on the ribs people!

Jess was an amazing waitress!! She was prompt, went out of her way to make sure we got exactly as we wished. Food was good, especially smoked wings. However, VERY disappointed in the brisket. Very tough

Jaclyn Schumacher

Best bar in town! Food is fresh, hot and so good. Portions are always to big for me to finish. Service is top notch. This glorious plate is only $17.95!!! Jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon then smoked! Yummmm!!!!!

Levi

Had a great experience here for a niche game tournament they hosted. Staff was all very friendly, we had good food, and the service was second to none. Our waitress Chanelle was one of the best I've ever had, major props to her and her customer experience. She was able remember our entire groups names only hearing them once, and was never more than an arms reach away.

Good and thoughtful food, appropriate for the venue and more :) Very friendly service, pool tables for your convenience. Locally owned and run by fantastic gentleman. MANY famous and not as famous entertainers and musicians have graced this establishment over the years. This a good social gathering place with a happy vibe. LOTS of EXTRA efforts in place in recent times to make the customers are comfortable and happy, given the new guidelines that are in place. They put in the effort to ensure that the impact is as minimal as possible for their customers. I would go here if I was looking for a place to enjoy some food, beverages and pool with my friends and close people. Thank you Better for your great service!

Excellent service. Ordered the Cheeseburger and fries - best I have had in years!! Highly recommend and right in the heart of Grande Prairie!

Jason Thomas

Good service. Food was tasty and well displayed. Reasonable price. Good music(80's and 90's) I will return.

Busy as heck so service was medium at best but the food and atmosphere was awesome. Lots of pool tables, friendly people. Was a bit loud but that didn't bother me....a busy establishment is going to get loud. If you want quiet, stay home.
