Willow Ridge Pub and Eatery

I had fish and chips. The food was great, and the server was very polite. We would go back.

We decided to give this place a try after the good reviews. We had high expectations, and we were looking forward to lunch after the high Google rating.

We were greeted by the bartender/server, and we were told to pick any table. There was 1 server and 1 cook in the kitchen. The place was empty.

First impressions were not very good with some dirty tables, crumbs, and paper on the floor by the table we picked. I saw a fly at the window.

We waited a few minutes and got some menus.

We ordered calamari for an appetizer. The calamari was ok. The portion size was not worth the $18 we paid. We received about 11 pieces of calamari. It's not worth it, in my opinion. 5/10.

We ordered 2 mushrooms and Swiss burgers with fries $19. The burger patty in both burgers was very dry, overcooked and lacked any flavour. The burgers are not cooked to order.

There was garlic aioli on the burger, but I couldn't tell. The bun was overly toasted. The bacon was paper thin, overcooked, and had a texture like paper and had a brittle texture. The bacon also lacked any flavour. 4/10.

The fries were bland and over cooked. 6/10.

Kids meal chicken strips were a large size portion but the stripes tasted greasy and nauseating after a few bites. 6/10

The kitchen is open to view to the dining area by the bar.

I noticed the cook in the kitchen rubbing his nose with his bare hands while making our order. He wore no gloves. Not a good first impression.

The server was very nice and attentive. 10/10.

We really would have loved to enjoy a good meal and don't want to be too critical, but we were genuinely disappointed.

The food is definitely not going to be calling me back for another visit. One and done.

Was in town with a friend and this place was recommended to us by our motel. The food was great and the waitress Ali was wonderful. This will be my go-to place anytime I am in Blenheim

The food was OK.. not as good as it use to be. The atmosphere was very loud. Not that enjoyable to be honest.

Beautiful course

Not impressed, ordered Ruben sandwich with a Cesar salad The salad was small and the romain should have been thrown out three days ago, all brown and soggy, overpriced for what you get, hadn’t gone back here since earlier last year thought give it another chance, you lost my business! Need a new cook or restaurant manager!!

Very nice atmosphere and scenery for Sunday brunch ?
