The food was phenomenal in the past but in the last year or so it has really taken a dive.
I'm not sure what changed in the kitchen at this location but aside from the great view and beer, it's hard to recommend 540 North these days.
The staple burger on the menu, The North Burger, has changed dramatically and is certainly a lesser version of it's past self. Smaller, drier, and bland. The menu changes with the seasons and I used to be excited for that, now it's a dreadful "what else can they ruin or remove from the menu?"

Great brewery with delicious beer, delicious food by kitchen 540. Great and romantic atmosphere if you looking for quite romantic date or just to chill after a walk in summer days. Me and my husband just Love this place.

A nice little place by the St John river attached to the Picaroons Brewery . There is an indoor and outdoor seating area. It was a beautiful day so we chose to eat outdoors. After ordering our food at the counter, we chose a table in the shade and waited for our buzzer to go off. I enjoyed the "feels good" salad bowl with bacon. So good! There is a separate shop for Picaroons. Afterwards, a stroll across the walking bridge with lots of photo ops. Several nice looking gluten free options on the menu. This place is also dog friendly so we got to see other folk's furry friends. If I am in Fredericton again this will be a must-stop.
Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free options on the menu
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, nice and flat.

We parked the yacks on the bank and got takeout from here today and Oh my goodness it was soo yummy! I got a veg salad with roasted chicken and a maple/lemon dressing that I loved!! He got the pulled pork sandwich with spiced fries and says that was delicious too ? our portion sizes were huge and very fresh. The pickles will have to be a tasty bedtime snack! The food is delicious I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch by the river.
Parking: Lots of parking on the water LOL!!

Haven’t been to the other 540 locations, but the food at this one was uninspired, mediocre, and took forever. It was packed at Picaroons and we did expect a wait but it was over an hour for the 3 of us. It was bland and boring and hardly warm, not to mention expensive. Would go back for beers and to hangout but would skip eating here. To be clear, this is not a review of the brewery.

Food is way over priced for the quality. It tastes ok but Id rather eat at home and then go for a beer and walk.

540 is easily one of my favourite places to dine around Freddy. Their menu is always changing with the season which brings a lot of variety.
Parking: There are parking lots as well as street parking along Union Street. It can be difficult to find parking during peak hours (it’s quiet a popular spot)
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome.
Wheelchair accessibility: The roundhouse / 540 North is very accessible

Our first time. Not likely to return in a hurry. It's a very strange approach to business. There was no one at the door to greet you. There is no table server. You go to the counter, look at a menu and make your selection. You are required to pay before you even have your meal, AND you're expected to pay a tip even before you've had your meal. Then you seat yourself. They give you a buzzer because you have to return to the counter to pick up your food. The food was good but it is served in recyclable dishes with plastic utensils. Pop is served in a can. It's not economy-priced for economy service. Sorry, I'm just calling it as I see it. Full disclosure, I'm a retired business professor who has taught Entrepreneurship and other related topics for many years.

It’s a nice place to hang out and have a beer with an amazing view! The food, on the other hand, is kinda average and a bit too pricey! Nt to mention, it takes forever to get your food ?P.S. You’ll love this place if you’re a dog/cat person ?

Stopped in for a drink and snack on the weekend. 5 of us ordered. first girl got hers . The fries were so cold its like they make them a head of time and just throw it on your plate as after thought. She ate slowly but completely finished her meal before we went to the window to see if ours was close to being ready. Burgers were .. ok had potential to be great if it was hot. fries were stone cold as well.
For the wait and price of the food, it would have been nice if it was hot.

Food here is usually good, but the smash burger I had yesterday was awful. Full of gristle….I’m sure I had to leave half of the “meat” on my plate. Fries were good though.
