It's always nice to have a new place to go in the south so I was happy to see Fergus & Bix open in McKenzie Towne, I had been to the one in Marda Loop previously and remembered it as being pretty decent. We stopped in on a Saturday night around 5 PM so a bit before the early dinner rush. There were a few booths of people but the place was mostly empty. The menu and drink specials looked pretty good, although I had been working since 4:30 AM so stuck with water. We ordered the gyoza off their happy hour specials to start and I ordered a thai noodle salad and hubs ordered the crispy chicken burger. The food took a little while to come out, the gyoza was okay but the batter was really thick for my liking and it was more of a bready coating than what you usually get if that makes sense. Overall it was okay just not to my preference. Hubs said his burger was good and had no issues with his meal. My salad was only okay, the veggies and dressing were good however all the noodles (which were about half the salad) tasted stale and dried out, like they had been pre-cooked and just dumped into the bowl (what it tasted like to me anyways). They are new so maybe the kitchen is just getting used to the new menu, I'd give them another shot in the future once they've been open a bit longer.
