Sometimes I think that people are willing to let ANYTHING slide in order to avoid chain restaurants. That is why Fate is so successful.
Fate has the rudest staff and worst "wait" policy of any restaurant in town. The worst part? They make no apology for making you wait OUTSIDE for a table in 110 degree weather. Are they on crack? Outside??? The whole bar is empty...yet patrons are relegated to the hot dirty front yard. Why do you make people wait outside when you are empty?
One time I went there and only TWO tables were occupied. They told us there would be a 20 - 30 minute wait. I asked why there is a wait as nearly ALL the tables were open. The dumb girl at the door kind of shrugged and said they weren't enough waiters. So there aren't enough waiters to handle THREE tables instead of two???
At least let us wait INSIDE.
Despite the place being empty the mean lady told us to wait outside. I said NO THANKS. and stormed off NEVER to return.
FATE IS MY WORST DINING EXPERIENCE IN ARIZONA SO FAR.
Fate is less than 1 mile from my house, so it saddens me it isn't a place I can call home.
