McFadden's was completely desolate when me and my friends arrived on a Thursday evening around 9PM. Is that too early to expect a crowd? We had just left Blue Martini next door, which had quite the crowd going. Going from Blue Martini to McFadden's was a definite downgrade and to put it bluntly, killed our vibe and put us into sleep mode. Even as we left around 10:30PM, McFadden's was still really slow.
My group decided to sit outside to escape the depressive state inside. The waitress promptly brought out menus and took our orders. She was actually the saving grace of this establishment. She was on top of everything during our short stay and checked on us often. I upped my review to three stars instead of two just because of her.
The Mister ordered bottled Heinekens ($6-7) and mozzarella sticks ($10). The mozzarella sticks were disappointingly lackluster and served room temperature. The side of marinara tasted off as well. For $10, it was kind of a rip off. :(
I remember years ago, McFadden was always crowded and seemed like the place to be. Now I know to avoid this place if I'm looking for a good time at Town Square. If you want to be where the action's at, stick with Blue Martini or Stoney's instead.
