Is social distancing a thing?

Oct 2020 • none

I like Fenton House, but will not be going for a bit. Every table was full, which meant I was one of 4 people wearing a face mask. A server, and people getting to go, were the only ones with a mask. But that's not the main reason I'm writing this. It's because their bread sticks have really gone down hill. I LOVE a good bread stick and Fenton house had the best. Doesn't hurt that the food is really good too! But back to the breadstick...use to be fluffy inside slightly crunchy on the outside with butter and garlic salt( I think). Now they are doughy, and barely edible to me. They use to really compliment the fantastic lasagna, salad, or good pizza( I've had better). In fact I think the pizza use to be better too! Not sure what's happening, but the area is great I just hate to see it go down a slipper slope down hill.

Carry out.

Apr 2020 • family

Food was good but workers need to be more sanitary during this virus time. Change gloves especially after handling money. Do not eat in the back and then handle food without washing hands. Very careless.

The food was exceptional

Oct 2020 • none

I ordered the perch special which came with mostaccioli, it was delicious. My husband had the pasta trio. manicotti, ravioli, and stuffed shells. The food was outstanding and very good portions. It is a little noisy and a very family friendly place. We didn't mind.

Don't Order Online

Apr 2022 • none

I placed an order online, requested a few items be left off a sandwich, get back to work and all items requested to be left off are on the wrap - YUCK! The receipt i was emailed detailed the wrap as ordered but i was told on their end it didn't appear that way. I couldn't go back for the correct order so there is nothing they could do the manager said. NOT good customer service!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother's day dinner carry out

May 2020 • family

I ordered dinner the day before Mother's day for a 5:30 pick up. After waiting in line I finally get to the counter to be told that they gave my order of lasagna away to another customer. Wow! Really? Why did I order the night before to not have my complete dinner order ready for my pick up. Of course the staff didn't remotely care. They offered bbq chicken as a replacement even though that's not what I wanted. I accept it just to get out of there. By the way no discount or anything for my inconvenience. I get home and we sit down to eat to find out the chicken isn't cooked all the way through so that goes in the trash. This place is the absolutely worst in fenton. Don't waste your time with a carry out from this place. There are tons of great restaurants in fenton with great customer service, but this place isn't one of them. The owner has clearly set the expectation that they don't care about their customers and the employees mirror it. I wasted $80 on a dinner for my family that I will gladly take somewhere else going forward. Avoid at all cost! You've been warned.

What happened?

Oct 2019 • couples

The food here was well worth the money in the past. Delicious in fact. Now, get ready for underproofed, doughy bread sticks, hamburgers grilled like hockey pucks, and pasta under cooked. Too bad,. Used to be good food

Never again

Jul 2021 • family

This is the second time in the past couple of months I order food get all the way up there, and they are out of something in my order. This was the first time I've gone back since it happened before and yet again they are out. Before you ask, yes I called and placed my order, so you would think the person on the phone would know they were out of my item, since the girl at the counter said they haven't had it all day. Then I just get home and they didn't put in my order of bread sticks and bread sauce. I guess my mistake for not double checking that too. I was hesitant to order again when my kids asked, but I did it anyway. Lesson learned, we will not be going back to Fenton House.

Service was good, the good STOPPED there.

Jun 2021 • none

We all ordered fettuccini alfredo and they were all terrible. The noodles were short like they were broken into small bits. The protein was dry. The shrimp was okay. BUT, the alfredo sauce was something maybe from a can or worse. It had no taste and was like soup. Like liquid soup. The salads were TOO BIG and inconsistent and the ACTUAL thing that was supposed to be soup was more like a sauce and it was gross. We would have gone hungry if it wasn't for the mediocre bread sticks.

What happened?

Aug 2021 • family

This place was known for fantastic bread sticks and great Italian dishes. Today the chicken parm was really mediocre and the breadsticks totally different. Instead of dense, garlicky deliciousness they were mostly air and tasteless. Total disappointment.

Worse than hospital food.

Jul 2024 • family

Went in to order during remodeling. There was a limited menu. My husband ordered fish and chips from the menu and was told they don't sell much of that and don't have it so he had to change his order to a hamburger. I ordered BBQ chicken/rib combo. My vegetable was cold, the chicken ended up being cooked dry and crunchy and the ribs were also cooked dry and crunchy. Both had way too much sauce. A burger and chicken/rib dinner was $42. It was worse than hospital food and definately not worth the trip.

Price not worth the quality!

Jan 2024 • couples

Only one waitress for entire restaurant but she did a fair job. Hamburger was $15.00 but wasn't cooked to order and wasn't worth the money. The Prime Sandwich had a lot of fat. I realize Prime Rib has fat but the sandwich had way to much fat. While my husband's fries were hot mine were cold. It took a long time to receive our order. On the bright side the bread sticks were good. We will not be traveling the distance to visit Fenton House again.

The best family dinning experience!

Aug 2020 • family

Always great food, always exceptional service, and a gameroom for the little ones. There’s even dinning on the back deck. Something on the menue for everyone, good wine list. The nachos, Michigan cherry salad, and a host of pasta! No one has ever left this place hungry. Eat here! Have fun!

Great time & great service!

We had a family gathering of 11 people. Steve & his staff were wonderful to work with. They had everything arranged for us, and the food was excellent! A huge shout out to Tayler, our server, for being on top of her game!! Thanks to everyone for making it memorable for us!

Not for burgers

Aug 2024 • friends

Terrible burgers. Burnt bun and overdone meat. Even my medium rare was well done. Other than that, great breadsticks. Mentioned to the waitress and she didn't seem to care.
