Another one of our local. and regular, hangouts. They have a great happy hour with drink and food specials. There is always a group of us and the servers are pretty attentive and on knowledgeable. Also highly impressed with management. Sure we've had minor food or service issues but all have been promptly addressed and rectifies by management. Though they don't always take reservations, they are very accommodating with groups! I love that! It puzzles me sometimes when you call an establishment and tell them you'd like to bring a group of your friends and they won't hold a table or add you to the wait list. Fat Willy's wants your business!
Staff... Hmm.. The host/hostesses are friendly, accommodating and seat you promptly. Angie and Mark in the bar are phenomenal. Once you're a regular, they'll remember your drink and greet you by name! There is always a rotating bunch of wait staff in the restaurant area and we rarely have any problems - even with our finicky customized orders.
Though the menu is vast, it is more of a bar-food selection. We typically order the Buffalo Chicken Salad with grilled chicken, delicious! Another favorite is the adult Chicken (grilled) with Mac & Cheese, outstanding! And don't forget the kid's steak. Yes!! A kid's steak! Cooked to order and served with a side. A great value and keeps the kids happy!
I didn't want to ding them on a high rating, but the two items I would like to see improvement on would be 1) Please add some healthier alternatives (more salad variations, non-fried fish, humus, veggie tray, etc.) and 2) Please instruct wait staff that if your table is playing Live Trivia, when the host is speaking is not the time to ask the table for the order.. Minor issues and the atmosphere and overall staff attitude make this an ideal casual place to come to.
And for those looking for an alternative place to catch a game there are lots of TVs in the bar and restaurant area. A decent beer selection (they could ask for my recommendation on one or two to add ;) and usual specials.
