McFadden's Restaurant & Saloon

Would not go back. With an hour wait at Yard House we decided to give McFadden's a try. Due to an event going on at the arena, there were no specials, and a very limited menu. Decided on the sliders, which came out burned to a crisp around the edges. Friend had the BLT and said it was not worth the price. Fries were seasoned well, but if the fries are the only good thing there, I'm not coming back. A busboy came by at least 10 times asking our friends plate. There was still food left, and they kept telling him no. He seemed to be getting impatient with them. When they did finish and he took the plate, I was the only one who heard him say, finally! Um, rude? Bathroom was in a horrible state. I get it, it was busy. But someone should be checking on them every half hour, at least.

Well, I had been warned by many people not to come here, as it seems the yelp reviews match what I've been told. So I go on a saturday night for a "night out".

In what world is this an irish bar? Tip: turn it into a mexican party bar and you'll do much better. However I fear the the health of the patrons here. But I'll get to that in a minute.

1) wait wait, $5 cover here while no cover at saddle ranch -which has way better service? HA!

2) service was absolutely horrendous. Yes, the bar was crowded on a saturday night, but I'm not a noob to the club scene. It shouldn't take standing at the bar for 10 minutes to get a drink when you're not 3 people deep. I've never seen so many workers behind a bar with such slow service. Everyone looking like they're working but nothing really getting done. Too many bar backs?

3) Here's the most troubling. I saw at least one bar tender scooping ice with a glass. Um, are you retarded? How do you have a job as a bar tender? This is one of the biggest no nos as a bar tender. Hope you like glass shards in your drinks!

Definitely won't be back.

Oh and it looks like many of the TGIF restaurants in the valley are turning into Mcfaddens. Not that I went to TGIF in the first place, but definitely won't anyway.

Am I getting too old for this?

Me thinks not!  Granted I'm not the youngest cat in the crowd, but I think I deserve some love don't I?  Well I guess not at McFadden's. I might not be that young lad that buys drinks for everyone and continue to pound down shots of liquor in the attempt to get myself drunk anymore.  However, I'm the guy that can actually afford it without burning a hole in my wallet - wink!  Maybe you should be looking my way next time instead of continue to serve the drunk dude down the bar who probably shouldn't be drinking anymore unless tent city is the next destination for him.  

Loud obnoxious drunks and college frat party like atmosphere only goes so far.  Let's just keep it where it belongs because I really don't know if it should be public thing unless it's a place called Vegas.  Westgate is no Vegas!  

I can party with the best, but even I felt uncomfortable here.  Let's just say if a fight broke out I wouldn't be surprised.  Patio is nice, but without a smoke vent is sucks -- yes I know the "patio" needs a smoke vent!  Unfortunately a bad experience this time; we'll see if I ever return to do a follow-up. - Enjoy!
