Editorial Review for Fiddler's Elbow – by Bob King
The Scene
It's spacious, with a busy bar on one side, a row of booths opposite and a half-dozen televisions within easy visual reach. There are pool tables too, but most folks seem content to nestle in the booths and enjoy themselves. A lively buzz suggests that patrons are happy here, and with good reason, given the quality of the food and the reasonable prices.
The Food
The menu offers up the comforts of home and tasty bar food, like the artichoke dip and nacho platter. Seasonal specials such as steamers and a pulled pork sandwich round things off. Pasta specials and attractive salads balance heavier menu options, like the meat loaf and chicken-fried steak. Choose from plenty of local beers to wash it all down.

GOOD GOD! We ate lunch at Fiddler's on a Sunday. With their brunch and some sports on tv, they had a reasonable number of patrons and tables filled. Service was pretty slow and then the power went out! You'd have thought it was an earthquake. Our server brought our check quickly and begged us to pay immediately, saying that they wouldn't have much time to run credit cards. Running on a generator? There was NO explanation. No manager came around. Nothing. Just waitresses, running around with their heads cut off and likely decreasing their tip amounts by the minute. It was truly appalling. In fact, I used to think Fiddler's was ok, but we're officially boycotting it now. There was no attention paid to the customers post-power outage - strictly concern for closing out tabs. Um, I'm pretty sure most of your food will spoil, so it's better to think about service and your customer loyalty! When we were leaving, I suggested to the host that they consider buying manual credit card runners (old school.) In response to what was a legitimate and fair suggestion, I got a sarcastic response, "oh yeah. I'll GET ON THAT." You better believe I'm calling his manager today. Sorry buddy - don't be such an a-hole next time.

i don't know why i find myself going back to this place. i never get good service, WAIT! one time i did that really stands out. the bartenders walk past you most of the time, as do the servers on the floor. maybe why i still go there is because once you do get your pitcher or food, you can watch the games or talk with friends, whatever~ the staff shrugs around and doesn't really seem to pay attention to the floor real well. but...i do go there and have a good time, as long as the Jazz and the 49ERs win. Go to the Porcupine
Pros: close to friends house
Cons: one, maybe two cute girls that work there
