It's Sunday, we're at Felt again (we're here at least once a week during the work week), having a few beers and playing Golden Tee. We've been here since 6:15 pm and got our first round within 5 minutes of coming in. It's not that busy. There was one other person at the bar until 5 minutes ago. It's 7:12 pm. Our glasses sat empty for 10 minutes before we stood up and flagged down the bartender with a "Hey you." Pathetic. When we got our first round I asked for a menu. They only just now took my order. Pathetic. The weekend staff sucks.
Because of this, I give Felt a one star for service.
However, it's beena 15 minutes and my food just came (Felt Sampler). The mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and chicken wings are decent, though nothing to write home about. The onion rings are light and crispy, if a bit greasy today. (They aren't usually.) The quesadilla is plain, bland, and forgetable. The carrots and celery are cool and crisp, but the celery has some discolored spots. Yuk. And the lettuce they used as a garnish...it's wilted with black spots and slime--yes, slime!--on the edges. Disgusting! Why won't they just throw away lettuce that is bad? (They've done this several times in the past.) BUT...the chicken tenders are literally perfect, with a light, crispy breading and perfectly cooked--tender and moist. Yum!
So I give them three stars for the food, but only because the chicken tenders are so terrific.
And then they over charged us for our drinks. I probably could've complained, but I already had to talk to them about the bad lettuce garnish on our plate. I took it out of the tip instead. The weekend staff needs some seious training. (This isn't the first time we've had poor service on the weekend.)
Overall, if I were to base my opinion solely on this visit, I would never go back to Felt again. But our regular bartenders during the week rock. So I'll just srick to weekday evenings instead.
My lady friends and I stopped by Felt the other night before a show at The Gothic. Â We were impressed with how clean it was-nice wood floors (no nasty feet-stuck-to-the-floor carpet), the jukebox was stocked with good tunes and the pool tables were maintained nicely. Â Unfortunately on this occasion, we were not there to play pool. Â
On a mission to get some foodstuffs in our bellies, we ordered some chicken nachos, lettuce wraps and fries. Â The nachos weren't horrible, but I was a sad panda when I looked at the lettuce wraps. Â I had scoped them out on the menu earlier that day, so I KNEW I was ordering them...way to set yourself up for failure, Cherie. Â They arrived at our table as just a strewn plate of iceberg lettuce (not even in cup form) smothered in a hot chicken mixture. Â OK, the point of lettuce wraps is to fill the nice cold, crisp lettuce cups yourself with the hot chicken mixture, so the lettuce is still crisp-not already smothered with the stuff, leaving the lettuce all warm and wilty by the time it reaches your table. Â Besides them being completely put together wrong, they just tasted icky. Â My friend said her fries were good, at least!
The service was pretty good at first, but once we finished our beers and were ready for our check, our server seemed to have forgotten about us. Â Oh well, not enough to keep me from coming back. Â If I'm in the neighborhood and feel like playing some pool, I'll drop by for a few beers and order the food that Vina Y. had...it sounds delicious!
I don't play pool but a lot of my friends do so Felt is a great place to hang out if you've got a group of friends who may or may not want to play pool.
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. There are a ton of options on the menu ranging from regular American food, breakfast fare, Mexican, to even a couple of what I will call "American-Asian" selections. I heard the prime rib was good so I ordered that and the soup special - a butternut squash bisque. They were both really really excellent. I actually split the prime rib with a friend because it was so big and we were both stuffed. It came with a basic house salad, a huge baked potato and some steamed veggies as well. The soup was good too, had a bit of ginger in it which gave it a nice kick. All of the food came out to about $20, between two people - that is a steal for how tasty it all was. I heard the burgers are good too, can't wait to come back and try more food.
They have a jukebox that is updated with all the latest music which is fun because I got to play gangnam style which seems like a hilarious song for a pool hall.
Lastly, the staff are all incredibly nice and friendly.
We visited Felt for the 1st time on Sat, we got there at 8pm. We walked up to the bar and asked the bartender the process since we've never been there before ( He seemed like he could be the owner)  He told us the choices on  tables are $5,4, or 1 an hour.  We told him the $1/hr table is just fine.  He sent us to the $5/hr tables, after realizing that we returned to the bar to ask for a different table with balls in hand.  All of a sudden noone is around to help us for at least 10 mins.  BC we were starving we went back to the table so we could order food and play some pool.
When we got our check from the waitress (she was great) it was very expensive. Â The bartender that initially helped us had put on our check that we got there at 3:30. Â We told the waitress we only played for 2 hrs. so she changed the bill for us. Â But it was still $20 for 2 hours when the bartender said it was $5/hr. Â The waitress said that it's $5 per person.
I am not a cheap person, but I am very upset at how it was handled. Â Not only did he NOT mention the price was per person but he also put us on a $5/hr table when we asked for $1/hr tables, and he was trying to charge us for extra hours. Totally scammed us. Â This was not a misunderstanding on his part, he was totally trying to make some extra money. Â Beware!
We attended this place on 11/8/12 and played pool from 4pm til 2am celebrating my bestfriends birthday. Â We only live a couple miles from this place so we knew we would be taking a cab home to be safe. Â I guess we hadnt noticed the signs on the parking lot saying patrons must stay in shopping center or car will be towed. Â Being safe and responsible after spending over 200.00 at this bar I will now need to spend 300 to get my car free from having been towed. Â Thanks Felt, I cannot believe you encourage drunken driving? Â Please dont goto this place
Review Source:This place is cool.
Very friendly with a great staff. Â Nobody looking for a fight, just a good game of pool with friends, etc. Lots of tables so noobs like me don't have to feel bad for occupying one --- nobody has to wait, at least not usually.
Haven't tried the food, but if I do, I'll update it. They have a juke, and that's cool.
Last, I suck at pool.
