| - I'm giving Fuel & Fuddle 1 star for each goal I saw the US Women's Soccer Team score in the final during the 20 minutes between ordering my meal and finishing it. The goals didn't really affect my review, but it certainly made dining here even more enjoyable. I was staying nearby, and F&F was one of several interesting places for dinner within walking distance of the hotel, and we deemed this one most interesting. I think it's a stretch to call it a gastropub, it's more like a tavern edging towards gastropub.
The menu is outstanding and well organized, especially the beer by type - though I'd rather actually see a bit more about the beers such as where they are from. Without that, I was still happy to settle for a Great Lakes Eliot Ness amber lager.
Normally at a place like this, I would order a burger. But since I had had one for lunch, I instead opted for a bowl of the chicken chili and a side of southern slaw. The chili was lukewarm temperature-wise, but it had what I felt was a just-right amount of spicy warmth. The slaw was fresh and I'm pretty sure homemade, but I found nothing about it which made it "southern." One of the other people at my table let me sample his hamburger - delicious, I'd definitely order one here - and it came with not just regular but sweet potato fries as well. The sweet potato fries have a sugary coating.
Service here is very casual, but we were checked on frequently - just the right amount for a place in a "college area." If I were living in the area or attending school here, I'd dine here often.
