I had a delicious pork chop with black eyed pea, corn, okra, and tomato succotash. A glass of red wine and a bottle of beer. Small dining area with a warm welcoming feel. There are tables outside when the weather cooperates. It was a little warm outside for us. The service was good! Our only issues were rounding the block a few times for find parking and 18% gratuity being included with the bill.

I think the sauce, onions with the jalapeno, and potato bun really make it! I opt for tater tots but their fries and sweet potato fries are great, too. The bathrooms are spotless clean and they have hooks for handbags and the locks work easily. It's amazing how the little things really make a big difference. Music was upbeat at lunch. There's sports on every TV. On occasion, like a major event like the Super Bowl, they will play the sound of the TV through the speakers. I love the indoor and outdoor space and how it all flows together. It's a great place for groups or show up alone or meetup for a casual meeting or lunch date.

Place was suprisingly small, not a lot of seating inside or outside but we had no problem getting a table. Very friendly and fast service. Good job staying on top of refills.

Worth it if you're in the area and want standard food items but not worth a special trip.

The bartender wasn't friendly... she had my aunts drink sitting in ice for a while before finishing it and she gave a little attitude when asked to redo it. I'd go back if opportunity presents itself the next time I'm in town because my aunt said she goes there regularly and maybe it was a less than stellar service night.

Went here for a work event, and while this type of place isn't really my thing, I can definitely…read moresee why people would love it and spend a good amount of time here. It's a pretty neat hangout spot with a bar and food service, virtual baseball and football, bowling, darts, and several other games. Our work event had lunch catered, including green beans, mac and cheese, sliders, chicken tenders, rosemary potatoes, cookies, brownies, and doughnut holes. Overall, the food was pretty good. The mac and cheese was a little bland and could have used more seasoning, but the chicken tenders were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Honestly, if I wasn't there for work, I probably would have gorged myself on those chicken tenders . And the brownie? Spectacular. Thick, moist, and super fudgy, definitely the highlight for me! Service was great also-they came around routinely checking in to see if we needed any drinks, cleaned up plates, etc. Not necessarily somewhere I'd go specifically for myself, but I can absolutely see the appeal for groups, work events, or anyone looking for a fun place to hang out, eat, drink, and play some games.

The venue is spacious and has plenty of room for larger parties, creating an energetic social environment. On this visit, we tried the virtual reality games and came away underwhelmed. Some of the equipment needed to fully enjoy the experience was unavailable, and the gameplay itself felt clunky and repetitive after a few rounds. We skipped the food but enjoyed our drinks, and our server, Mike, was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. While the VR attractions were not for us, the overall ambiance left a positive impression. We'd be willing to return to check out the boutique bowling, which looks like it may be the better experience. If you're looking for a fun place to gather with friends, Fairway Social is worth considering, just manage your expectations for the virtual games.

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

My server, Lauren was very attentive and helpful. I ordered their $8 Mimosa pitcher ( of course I did). The price alone was worth the visit! Lol. I also had a build your own pizza slice. The toppings /cheese/ sauce ratio were decent. Would have loved a little more sauce but I didn't bother asking for any. I didn't care for the crust as it lacked flavor a bit. Overall, the pizza hit the spot and I was satisfied. The inside has bar seating , hightop and regular table seating available. TVs throughout. They have a spacious patio that I enjoyed my last mimosa from. I'm happy I gave The Fill another chance. I won't stay away for another four years!

I would give them a 3.5 Stars overall: The service by our waitress, Yasmine, was a 5 star PLUS,…read morethe food was a hit and miss 3 star, the atmosphere for pub fair 3.5 star. Very loud inside, quieter on the enclosed patio. Hands down do order the cheeseburger, it was a 4.5 star, but it would have been a 5 if it came back well done as requested, not cannibal style, bloody red. Crispy fries a 5 star. Skip the Tomato, Bacon, Cheese toasted sandwich. It wasn't toasted, or barely, absolutely bland. Ate half left the other, 1 star. The Tomato Bisque Soup didn't look appealing at all, but surprisingly was good and served hot! A 4 Star. Steak Ciabata Sandwich? Just don't! $17.50 for Sirloin Strips that looked wonderful, but upon attempting to eat stringy, fatty and tasted like mush, 1 star. Adult son ate half and happy he had a lot of their good fries. Price on house Chardonnay excellent! 5 bucks. Draft beer 6 bucks. Bottom line, go for drinks, fries and burgers, maybe throw in the cup of Tomato Bisque.
