Fat Daddy's Bar and Grill Reviews | Alexandria Restaurants & Bars

0

I stay frequently next door at the Hampton Inn on business and like the proximity of Fat Daddy's. Â The food is your standard fare bar food, which is fine. Â Being able to walk back after a couple of drinks is nice and the main thing that benefits this place. Â Service is very uneven, average at best. Â The typical service is friendly, but slow and forgetful. Â Went 30 minutes between visits from my server tonight which wasn't a big deal but if I were thirsty would have really had me P O'd (also bet it costs ownership plenty of sales). Â Average.

I come here quite often, especially with customers and external employees who are in town. It's convenient since it is so close to the Hampton Inn.

The food is not great, but is consistent. They have a very good beer selection for the area.

Service is the downfall. The waitstaff is spotty-you never know what you'll get. The bar tenders are just poor. Very inattentive. I've left out of frustration a couple of times.

Fat Daddy's is great! I always have a wonderful time here! There's an awesome amount of space, and a dance floor!!!! The drinks are always great. It's a great place to just hang out with friends. I haven't had too many sleezy experiences. It's the total opposite of a bar where you feel claustrophobic because you're pressed up against sweaty strangers.

The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the staff isn't that friendly most of the time. I was there last Friday and my table's server was fantastic! He was really friendly and helpful. Also, the doorman was really nice. But everyone else who was working there was awful. It was as if, since they didn't have to serve our table, they didn't need to talk to us, or even smile at us. It made me afraid to ask for a drink from the bar, and it had nothing to do with the bar being crowded. It wasn't.

Overall though, I love Fat Daddy's!

Stopped in for dinner and was amazed how big this place is. Outdoor volleyball courts, huge screen TVs, and even a bowling alley! Wow!

The food though is their drawback. Bar food menu at best. They may have a few items that are out of the ordinary, but the food is nothing special.

The service was good. Very attentive and did check in with us several times. They kept our drinks full too. Overall the experience was good. I just don't know if I would go back to eat here. The fun and activities that a person can do is definitely the draw here in my opinion.

Good for groups or kids I think. I wouldn't take a date here.
