Fuel & Fuddle is the Lucy to my Charlie Brown.
I want to like the place. I really do! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The staff is nice (although the owners clearly subscribe to the "hire only the prettiest girls" theory of staffing, which is a little annoying). And everything on the menu sounds delicious.
There! That's why I don't like the place. Everything sounds delicious. SOUNDS. Yet when the food arrives, it inevitably disappoints. It's just not as good as it should be.
Part of the problem is the bread they use for the sandwiches, which tastes institutional and consistently underwhelms. Several times I've had sandwiches there that would have been awesome, except they were on that lackluster, tasteless bread.
Positive things: the beer selection is good. The appetizers are passable. I have no comment on the half-price food thing because half-price for mediocre food is still overpaying.
In summary, I want Fuel & Fuddle to be awesome. But it simply isn't.
