It was a hot evening. People were on the deck. They were short of servers so our service was initially very slow as we were the only people inside. A former server who was visiting kindly stepped in to help. Nachos were plentiful and very good. Main courses average. The beer requested was not available. The numerous TV screens are horrible...far too many. So a mixed review.

There’s no way this place has 4.2 stars honestly. Someone has got to be inflating these reviews. I don’t often eveer take the time to review but I am shocked the food we received was even sent out of the kitchen. Aside from presentation though, it’s just gross. Nachos for an appetizer -which was definitely made with recycled bolognese, the carne asada tacos were 2 small soft taco shells buttered with a smidge of guacamole a couple prices of burnt flavorless meat bathed in questionable sour cream. You’d be rolling the dice ordering fries, some cooked, some hard, hell maybe some fell on the floor?? It’s that type of place. Very nice waiter though. Maybe the drinks are stellar but the food is probably bottom three of my entire life.

The food is always decent but the main reason to come in is to get martinis made by Emma. 10/10 always and she can take any idea you think of and turn it into the greatest drink you’ve ever had. Never had one I wasn’t impressed with. I always make sure I’m there for Martini Mondays with her!

Google said Fody’s was open until 11 PM, with takeout stopping at 9 — so we figured we had time for a quick dinner. What wasn’t clear is that “takeout stops at 9” really means the kitchen shuts down at 9 sharp. We walked in around 8:45, sat at the bar, and the place still had people around. A woman tending tables gave us a quick “hello” as we walked in — friendly enough — but she wasn’t working the bar.
No bartender in sight for a few minutes. When she finally came out, her first words to us were: “Is it 9?” We looked at each other, kind of thrown off. Then she says, “Kitchen closes at 9, so hurry.” Still no intro, no “welcome” — just pressure to order something we didn’t even have time to look at yet.
She asked if we wanted drinks. I asked for a Modelo. She goes to pour it, comes back: “Sorry, out of Modelo.” The other server (the one who greeted us) overheard and said, “We should have it — she just won’t change the keg.” The bartender responds, “I just don’t know how,” in a tone that matched the rest of the experience.
She brought out what was supposedly a Modelo — but it was so flat, it barely qualified as beer. We left $14 poorer and still hungry.
Maybe they were just having an off night. Maybe not. Either way, probably won’t be back.

We like Fody’s for a weekday dinner. Service the last time was a bit slow, but I think they were bringing some new people onboard.

We have visited Fody's several times over the last few years, but recently our experiences have been less than stellar. About a week ago we stopped in for a drink on our way to another event. We headed upstairs and immediately I was hit by an overwhelming smell of some sort of cleaner, I honestly wanted to leave just because of that but the people that I was with wanted to stay for a drink. The counter was visibly dirty with something sticky on it and black fuzz all stuck in it. Whatever, it happens. Ordered a margarita off the menu and the bartender made it right in front of me. I watched her use bottles without pour sprouts, without measuring, and just eyeballing from different jugs and containers. The drink itself was terrible and after serving us the bartender stood a few feet away and stared at her phone until we had to get her attention for the check. Aside from that, we watched as another guest was brought a beer. As he went to drink from it he decided to try to pour it into his previous glass. When the bartender asked what was up he showed her how dirty the glass was she gave him. She did make that right by taking away the old beer and glasses and pouring a fresh one into a new glass. With the heavy scent of cleaner, we would have thought the counter and dishes should have at least been clean but they were not and the drinks and service we got were not good. Very disappointed in this visit and have noticed quality going down in the last year or so during other visits. Not sure what changed but we wont be going back.

It took us a half an hour to just get our appetizer, when we finally received it, it was incredibly dry and the chips were mildly stale. The Main sandwiches came shortly after the app and the crispy chicken sandwich was very over cooked and rubbery.

The food was great, don't get me wrong. But 20 minutes for food? Way long. But otherwise I really liked it!

The blonde women at the bar trying to flirt with guys at bar for extra tips I wish I didn’t have to leave a star she was very rude and disrespectful for being a business there is no respect the girl thinks she owns the place I think the owner needs to pay more attention to there employees.
Service is great, and the pizza is very good. We got the white pizza and it was fabulous 👌

Stopped in for the first time and sat on the patio. We had a juicy crispy chicken sandwich and a crispy haddock sandwich (maybe too oily but not disappointingly) and we were served a complementary indulgent fried ice cream dessert while finishing up. Thank you Tina and Brad for a great experience!
PS the Barbecue sauce is amazing! We encourage them to sell bottles, maybe some kind of whiskey/bourbon but there’s so much flavor in there!

Great American bar and restaurant for burgers and pub food. Fantastic service and every time I've had any dish there has been perfect. Highly recommend this!
