Waterfront Mary's Bar Restaurant

Our first time at Waterfront Mary’s was amazing! Once we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome from the new management. The service was very prompt. We enjoyed drinks and burgers. Great music and vibes all around. We would recommend to anyone! Can’t beat that water view.

Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. Practically inedible. Fries were old and gross and had to spit out the tartar sauce it was so bad. Food took forever too.

My husband and I went there because we heard there were new owners, and so we wanted to try it out. The day we arrived was sunny warm. Someone was singing and playing guitar, and it was busy. We put in an order for a burger and a wrap around 12. We hadn 't eaten all day and were really hungry! The waitress was nice and brought us beers right away. After that, and without exaggeration, for the next THREE hours, we were told, It 's coming, it 's coming each and every time. We must have been told that 4 times. Finally, when the third hour hit and we asked again (and we were laughing and being cool about it), but she admitted she forgot to put the order in Okay, fine, but we were SURE she would then put it in but never did. we told some friends, regulars, about what happened, and they mentioned it to the owner, the husband, who came right out to talk to us. He was nice apologetic and he gave us his card, and he said that the next time we came, the next entrees will be on the house. We appreciated that and left and went to grab food at another spot. Fast forward to yesterday, 10/28/23. Went back, but didn 't mention the free meals, it had been a good month since we had been, and my husband misplaced the card anyway, lol. But yesterday wasn 't better. We ordered just a cheese pizza, and ordered a wine and a beer which came out. Then we were told that the restaurant didn 't have any pizzas. We heard the night before, the pizza cook was hmmm, a little under the weather lol, and had banged out the next day, so nobody was there to make the pizza. Okay, stuff happens. We then ordered a chicken wrap and a chicken sandwich. The waitress left, but came back in minutes to say they didn 't have anymore wrap bread left. Okay, so we instead ordered burgers to be cooked medium. A few minutes later, we were told that unless we wanted our burgers well-done, we should order something else, because they said that due to the burger patties being frozen, the only way they could be cooked was to be well-done. So scratch that, we then ordered some chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. When they came out, we asked if we could get plates, forks, and napkins, but those never came. Not a huge deal, but still. On the mozzarella stick plate (the plate that the sticks came on, and the chicken plate, we just used those), there was a small, plastic cup of marinara sauce for dipping. BUT, it was frozen. The waitress did take it when we told her, and she went to the back to get more. She returned with another cup of the sauce, and although it was cold, not even luke-warm, we ate it anyway and figured at least it wasn 't frozen solid. The chicken and sticks were okay. We understand that place has new ownership, and when there isn 't enough staff that it doesn 't help matters, but when you are a restaurant and you don 't have much food, silverware, staff, cold food, etc, and that point, close the doors for the day, or at least put up a sign saying, Due to unforseen circumstances, we will not be able to offer kitchen services today, but the bar is open and the view is stellar, so come on in and join us! Or something like that. We do believe things WILL get better, we do, and we will come again and try it as third time 's a charm, but when people are hungry and the menu is advertising food that isn 't there or not up to par, it 's better to be up front and honest with people, otherwise, your customers will walk out which IS what happened yesterday with some people sitting near us!

This place has so much potential to be a great place for dining. I think it has spent so many years as a bar (with something to eat) that it will take a while to transform. Fingers crossed that the new management will make it happen.

Just treated myself to a bite to eat and a nice glass of wine on the deck looking out at this beautiful lake. Wonderful live music, delicious food, great wine and fabulous prices. 5 stars for the new owners and all they are doing.
