Fuel Kitchen & Cocktail Lounge (closed): User Reviews

I went to FUEL for drink, impress by interior. It is excellent lounge to hang out, and their menu is unbelievable. also, DJ box!
If you want to feel that you are in another city like LA or NY, this is the place to go! I highly recommend FUEL restaurant lounge.

Diversity is key

In order to be a successful lounge in this upcoming area-one must have more than just the usual options. I love the fact that they have fresh squeezed orange juice, smoothies, and even root beer. Who would have thought!? I am definitely coming back! I loved the concept as well. Original and creative.

Terrible!

Terrible, Terrible Service...It seems like the owners did it again! Terrible service at Zentra, Sound Bar, and now this place. The food is not the best I've had better thanks!

my husband and i went to fuel for lunch... we live in the neighborhood and have been waiting to try it out. disappointment does not even describe it. i must say that the food was delicious; my husband's burger was cooked perfectly and my wrap was great. the service was, by far, the worst we've had in a LONG time. my husband and i have both waited tables before and i feel like we're pretty lenient on service, considering we know what it's like. keeping in mind that there were only 11 tables sat ouside (there were at least 2 servers, and not a single customer inside the restaurant), our server took over 10 minutes to greet us. we were both out of drinks before our meals got there (45 minutes after we ordered), and did not get refills until after our check came - which were brought by the busboy. our waiter never apologized or explained any type of situation. if this place is going to survive, the wait staff must be properly trained... what a severe disappointment.

like it didn't fall in love

The theme and design is pretty cool. The staff was friendly and attentive and not annoying. They get good DJs and have a good sized patio, which will be awesome when the weather is a little warmer. I'm going back to try the food. It looked & smelled good and the people eating around me said it was good. They also have some great deals. Monday was $5 drinks & shots (including top shelf!) and $7 14-inch pizzas. That was reason enough for me to stop by.

Fuel me up=]

I'm sold on their specialty cocktails.. I'd rather have quality than speed for my drink if I had to pick 1!! The theme is mos def a winner.. and the 4 stars...well, the food needs work=< I'm sure they'll get it together...
