| - Only my second time to Fuddruckers's; first time at this location.
First thing when you walk in is a large free standing menu with highlights of certain entrees from the larger menu. From there your attention is directed to where you order your food and the full menu on a large billboard. The large menu was easy to read, and each item listed what was included, price and calorie count.
We were there on a Sunday around lunchtime and had little to no wait. We ordered after asking a few questions. The cashier was patient and knowledgeable. We were given a buzzer to indicate when our food was ready.
There were two dining areas and a large patio. There was a condiment station that looked like a small salad bar, two of the new computerized coke machines along with a bakery area. We were headed out to the patio when we noticed two homeless men with shopping carts. Okay, back inside....found a table inside instead.
I ordered the blackened tilapia with a lettuce wrap. My friend ordered a bacon burger. Our food came up fairly quick. The tilapia looked amazing! Two filets on lettuce topped with blue cheese, and sauteed onions and mushrooms. I added tomatoes, pico and jalapenos from the condiment bar. (see pic) They also had onions, peppercinis, lettuce, mustard, mayo and ketchup available. Everything was delicious! Tilapia was flakey and moist! Burger was good. Only criticism was the amount of oil used to sautee fish and veggies. By the time I was about finished, the last of the lettuce was swimming in oil.
So back to the homeless men on the patio. This is a problem that needs to be addressed. It was quite apparent they were there and had been before. At one point, one of them came in with a to go cup from somewhere, looked around and headed over to the drink station. I didn't talk to anyone about it that day, but will call to let them know.
Overall, four stars. Will update after I call about the situation. Homeless on the patio and using the soda machines is a deal breaker for me, but will wait to factor that into my rating.
