1st time visit for us and I really wasn't expecting much. Boy was i surprised! We sat at the bar and the bar tender Savannah was a doll! Very good service with a smile. The food was excellent especially the smoked wkng in Alabama white sauce! Best wings I've ever had! Our bill was a bit higher as we had cocktails too.

More like a sports bar. Food was ok. I had steak, spouse had prime rib. Prime was grilled not slow roasted. Steak was salted but good. Noisey place.

Beautiful view of the water. The cocktails were good. Service was "relaxed" which was fine as we weren't in a hurry. Fried foods were a bit too greasy for some of the members of our group. Bruschetta was excellent. Worth a try.

Fairplain Yacht Club: A Culinary Shipwreck in a Sea of Craft Beer

Time, it seems, has cast an amber hue over the Fairplain Yacht Club, preserving its redneck charm while eroding the once-proud culinary foundation. The decor remains a nostalgic tableau, a testament to years of convivial gatherings and boisterous revelry. The beer selection, however, has undergone a renaissance, boasting a respectable array of craft brews to entice even the most discerning palate.

Yet, like a ship run aground, the food has suffered a precipitous decline. The departure of the former cook marked a turning point, leaving a void in the kitchen that has yet to be filled. The flavors, though still echoing the past, are muted, the portions occasionally diminished. What was once a culinary destination has become merely passable, a shadow of its former glory.

The monthly burger specials, once a source of anticipation, have devolved into a gastronomic gauntlet of questionable concoctions. These culinary experiments, often teetering on the brink of inedibility, range from the tragically bland to the outright bizarre. It's a testament to the resilience of the human palate that anyone can stomach some of these creations.

In the final analysis, the Fairplain Yacht Club remains a beloved institution, its nostalgic charm and improved beer selection offering solace to its loyal patrons. However, the culinary decline is undeniable, a poignant reminder of what once was. Until the kitchen rediscovers its former magic, the Fairplain Yacht Club will remain a haven for beer enthusiasts, but a culinary shipwreck for those seeking a memorable dining experience.

Great burgers!! Definitely, one of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Service was quick, correct and attentive. A large venue, great for watching games, especially the Steelers.

The food is good. Seating on the weekends is problematic. There can be quite a wait. We stopped on Sunday around 2 pm. I had the burger of the month (Pittsburger) , and my husband had the smothered chicken..
