Food & Drink · Fredericton

540 North is a fast-casual restaurant and takeout counter inside the restored Picaroons Roundhouse at 912 Union Street on Fredericton's north side, run by the same group behind 540 Kitchen and Bar downtown. The menu is comfort food built for a riverside afternoon: burgers like the Roundhouse Kick with smoked cheddar and chipotle candied bacon, fried chicken sandwiches including the Maple Cajun Crunch with maple cajun aioli, fish and chips, wings, nachos, and bowls such as the chicken souvlaki and burrito bowl. Many items have vegetarian swaps, and there is a long list of sauces for wings and chicken strips. Regulars tend to mention the fried chicken and pulled pork sandwiches and the generous portions. The setting does a lot of the work here. The Roundhouse sits right on the St. John River beside the walking trail, so you can order at the counter and eat by the water, and Picaroons pours beer in the same building. Reviews are honestly mixed: the view, the atmosphere, and the portion sizes get consistent praise, while wait times on busy days and inconsistent kitchen execution are the recurring complaints. If you are deciding tonight, treat it as a casual counter-service spot with a great patio rather than a sit-down restaurant, and build in some slack on a sunny weekend when the trail crowd rolls in.
