Went in for a beer after grocery shopping with my husband. Our 2nd time there. My husband was watching the keno #s. A man standing directly at under the keno screen starts yelling at my husband to stop staring at him, makes a scene, verbally attacking my husband, not to mention an a$$ out of himself for absolutely no reason. My husband politely explains he was looking at the #s. The man comes to our table, sit down and again starts insulting my husband. I ask the bartender to bring our bill (after she witnessed the entire incident without saying a word to the man). Being a bartender myself, I ask her if she's going to serve the man.

I will be back to try more of their food and I enjoy a...
Read morei have been a loyal customer of fender’s for a while. not for any particular reason, it’s just been my spot. to be honest, i put up with bad service for a while. today was the same old as always, but i suddenly am so over it and don’t plan on coming back. i got seated and waited to be greeted, per usual. a couple other groups came in after me. not sure what the deal was, but they were delivered appetizers before i was greeted. to top it all off, the owner was just sitting around watching his staff not serve me. i always tip them well, despite the fact that this is a pattern of behavior. i also just find it off putting the way the staff dresses. like i wouldn’t bring my family in because of how revealing their outfits are. so i just don’t plan on...
