Prices are outrageous....regular 16 ounce cocktails $12-$14, bay rental prices (by the hour!!!!!) change according to the day....in other words we know people like to hang out on the weekends so we jack the price up on Friday and Saturday. And the prices are not located in a place where you can easily see them.....you have to call to find out.
Food is loaded with MSG.....one bite of my man's nacho plate and I was done. MSG is used as a flavor enhancement in food and not something that should be in our body. Some of the things on the menu should be completely avoided.....spinach artichoke dip and chips are one of them and the nachos are another. Could barely find any chili on the nachos.
Size of the spinach and artichoke dip is tiny and the price is high @ $11.....at most it should cost $6. Nachos @ $14.50 with chili.....if you want chicken add $6. Absolutely no way should a plate of basic nachos be almost $15..... barely any beef in the chili and again full of MSG. In all fairness the server told me that the spinach and artichoke dip was small, but didn't think that it would be on that level of small but should have sent it back. The only star at our table was the crispy shrimp.... perfectly fried and delicious.
Margarita pitcher @$55....was good but again way overpriced. Total meal cost?? $102.57, add a well deserved tip for the server $124. Great concept that reminds you of a much much smaller version of a Top Golf or a Dave and Busters. Love the fact that you can eat, drink, play games and sing karaoke 🎤 all under one roof and much needed on this side of the Atlanta metro..... people are tired of having to fight traffic and drive to Atlanta just for nice restaurants.
But when 7 pm arrived on a Friday night and the place was almost empty I began to worry if this place is going to survive. Not sure if the problem is the sky high prices, lack of advertising and not enough people who know about it, a combination of high prices, low amount of food and not enough people who know about it or something else but if Fairway Social is going to survive things have to change.
Message to manager - cut bay rental prices in half or make it one flat price for up to 2 hours....be transparent about the bay rental prices. You don't have the endless options of a Top Golf ⛳ or a Dave & Busters and your prices should be in line with what you are selling. Reduce the price of the drinks and food. If you are going to charge $11 for spinach artichoke dip make the serving size of the spinach bigger. Get some comfortable bar stools and chairs for the tables. Butt was hurting and I had to move to a picnic table. Don't kill your customers with MSG chemicals in the food!!!! Please add the option for customers to choose 3 appetizers and build their own trio platter or allow customers to substitute the items in the trio platter.
Will I visit again??? Yes but would avoid ordering several of the menu items and would not order any cocktails,...
Read moreUpdate: 8 months later, gave it another try, this time with games. Projector wasn’t calibrated correctly so none of the games worked. After raising our concerns a few times, a manager finally resolved to comp our bay fee, which was fair. According to manager, when the heater is on, the game projectors overheat and ours wasn’t the only one experiencing issues. Keep in mind if you go on a cold day I guess. That being said, bringing family from out of town to have a fun afternoon, it was a disappointment. The food service was once again severely lacking. Took a long time to get cocktails, even longer for non-alcoholic beverages. Asked for refills after cups sat empty for 30 min, refills never came. I want to like this place but it’s consistently a miss. Fayetteville needs a place like this, but it needs a great deal of improvement, especially for the location.
Original review: Food was just ok. Service was really lacking. Ordered chicken tenders with sweet potato tots, which were tasty. Also ordered the nachos which were cold and soggy, and the fried pickles which were ok but you only get 3 pickles for $7. Our food took forever to come and the restaurant was not busy. Our waitress was not attentive, never refilled our drinks, didn’t bring our food (it was served by someone I’m assuming was the manager), and we had to ask for the check. In fact, a group of waitresses were gathered up at the bar chatting with each other for the majority of our visit. The restaurant is “seat yourself” and we saw the table get “cleaned” before we sat but it was still covered in crumbs. I realize the prices for this area are pretty standard but for the service and mediocre quality, value wasn’t there for me. Might give it another try for the games, but not in a...
Read moreI've frequented Fairway several times and have always had a great time. The food and drinks are great. However, this past weekend (6pm Saturday 3/9), there was a regular there that is often very inappropriate with women that come to the bar. While the bartenders know him, they attempt to assure the solo women who are at the bar that he is harmless. A young girl (12 - 14 yro) comes in stating that there is a guy who kept coming in and out of the building but was making her and her friends uncomfortable by continuously walking past them, making eye contact, and that happened for several minutes. The bartender tells her that he is a regular and he is harmless and it's nothing for her to worry about. The regular came back into the bar, sat down and she never addressed it. She then proceeds to tell the patrons that he lives upstairs and pays big tips which is why she wasn't going to say anything. If a child feels uncomfortable by a man who is ALSO making other women feel uncomfortable and their behavior is excused because he is a regular is unacceptable. I confirmed that this same man was escorted from another nearby restaurant due to the same behaviors. Because of this, I will no longer...
