While on a road trip for work, my boss and I decided to stop and try this place for lunch. We are…read morehappy we did!! I ordered the chef salad with 1000 island dressing (they use Ken's brand, which I love) and she ordered the BLT (you get SIX slices of bacon!!). Both were great and the service was fast!! The place looked like a fun hangout with half of it having games like shuffleboard and a pool tables. Would definitely recommend! PS they were also popping complimentary fresh popcorn that smelled fantastic.

We went here on New Year's day, so it could have been due to low staffing, but they were out of…read moresome main dishes, to include pizzas and wraps. Unfortunately, my boyfriend wanted a wrap, so he had to settle on something else. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich (grilled). It was not bad. Wayyy too much buffalo sauce though! I got fries as the side and asked for them to be seasoned since apparently they are not typically. I do not know what happened or if they just do not own fry seasoning therefore used something else, but they were not good. My boyfriend got the F&A Infamous Bowl. It reminded us of gourmet KFC! He enjoyed it, but nodded there was nothing too special about it. He wasn't too fond of the chili, said it lacked flavor and tasted more like canned chili. I will say, kudos for the amazing country playlist that was playing in the restaurant.

It was cold and soggy on bottom... gave back to server who never asked if they could remake it or if I wanted something else to eat. My son enjoyed his pizza is the only highlight. Toilet paper is frustrating to try and get out... Nice space but won't be back.

Plenty of sports games on the tube with plenty of happy customers. Service is pretty quick the sole bartender makes his rounds so wait your turn he is taking care of everybody. Back room occasionally has drink service it's also a heated billiards room. Less noise compared to the bar service side. I'd make it a regular stop for sure. 40/2024

Do NOT patronize this place. The owners are complet heartless assholes. I got drunk one night and…read moreasked for a ride home. They wouldn't give me a ride and proceeded to kick me out of the place. My boyfriend is in the hospital and I wanted to attend my very good friends wedding reception there. My boyfriend called the owner Mike Smith and the owner blocked his number so he couldn't call him back. They said I couldn't attend the reception without him. Sorry but not sorry he's in the hospital. How shitty to treat a regular customer that has been going there almost everyday for many years.

I was a bit disappointed when I went into the bar. I was expecting more of a sports bar with some…read morefood and more premium/craft beers rather than just a tavern with bar pizzas. The bar tender was nice enough, but probably knowing I was from out of town or not being a regular, held conversations with the locals.

The food and drink at Hand of Fate was amazing. We went out for lunch around the area and stopped…read moreby for a beer and a sandwich. We ordered the fried onions, which were thin and not the expected onion rings, however the fried green beans were the best! When ordering, it takes a little while to put in your order and they get the beer for you as you are ordering. We had a group of 5 and if you ordered your beer first, then you had to wait to order anything else. There was plenty of seating inside, but as it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside where they have a nice 3-4 table area for some people to lounge.
