Sandpiper's Restaurant

Waitress was very rude, and kept staring us down while talking to another customer during our entire meal. Clearly didn’t want to provide any actual service! Took forever to get our drinks, and the food tasted like it was pulled out of the freezer and thrown into the fryer. Nothing was fresh or appetizing! The restaurant was clean and well kept, just need to work on the service and food!!

Saturday Night Birthday MealnnSaw an advertisement on Facebook and decided to try out Fifty-11 in Bonnyville.nnParkingnPlenty of parking and not at all packed on a Saturday night. Suspicious?!?nnGetting a tablenWas greeted about a 3 minute wait. Didn't seem too busy with 5 tables inside and 3 outside. Seem like the hostess didn't really pay any attention to the doors. Was led to a table inside and had to request a patio seat. There were only 3 tables occupied while at least 12 setup and available.nnOrderingnThe waitress brought the food menu but not a drink menu. Not sure if this is standard practice. Choose the Prime Rib Dinner Special and requested a drink menu. Was brought it after I ordered and not even 5 minutes after I got the menu, I was reply an email and she already asked what I wanted to drink. I needed a bit more time then finally selected the Blueberry Ale. It was not bad.nnFoodnThis was where it kind of went down hill for me. So I ordered a Prime Rib Special, but emthe waitress didn't ask and said ok. I kinda thought it was weird after the fact when she didn't ask how well I wanted it done. I let it go and realized I should have clarified with her, or vice versa...she brought me the Prime Rib dip instead of the dinner. I asked why is there bread and she said this is the prime rib dip. I said no I think you have mistaken and that I wanted a prime rib dinner. She quickly apologized and set it right and recovered. The Prime Rib was ok. Compared to The Sawmill or Keg it was no match. The sides were a bit salty, especially the au juice on the prime rib. The sides were ok, nothing show stopping. I did try to use the pepper mill and add pepper to offset the saltiness...but it broke and the peppercorns just flew out...perhaps they need to check serviceability of condiments when opening? After I finished my dinner I ordered the Chocolate Souffle birthday afterall. It was good but again nothing earth shattering...but it was the best part of my meal!nnOverallnThe waitress did say she was new so no big issues, the food was ok for the price point. Other than the beautiful decor/patio, and an awesome sunset, I'm not convinced that I will return for a meal I have to drive 80kms for. Maybe their buffet lunch/dinner/or brunch would be better. Perhaps I'll try it next time I head out of town and on the way.

Went have dinner with some family, we waited a while before we were seated. The waitress got our orders mixed up, we had to ask for cutlery, food was not the best and after we were done we waited like 15 mins for our bill. The waitress was well aware we were done because she cleared our table then never returned. We had to call another waitress who mentioned ours was busy on the phone. The floors were also filthy. Not the greatest experience. The only highlight was the music playing.

Waitress seemed rude to myself and a group of colleagues who went out for lunch. Not very friendly when being asked about the menu or gluten free foods. Gave my co worker who is celiac croutons on the soup that she said was gluten free then scoffed when she asked for a new soup with no croutons on top. For people who have severe allergies you shouldn't trust this establishment

Great breakfast spot! Really enjoyed the breakfast buffet!! They will even make your eggs to order which is sweet!!
