"stopped by this location after reading the reviews to see what it was all about. when we walked in we where greeted by the bartender and seated ourselves. she came came over with menus and took a drink order but not too much conversation after that. all the seats at the bar was full so maybe she was busy. music was playing, and one tv was on at the bar. I noticed several Tv’s on the walls but only one was playing. I ordered drinks which was made really good. our food was another conversation. we ordered a burger basket and the fries were clearly burnt but just to confirm what we were looking at I went back to the reviews I read and clearly the fries where not burnt. The fried pickles would have been good but the sauce it came with was watery. when you dipped the pickles the sauce didn’t even stick it actually dropped off the food. I like my wings fried hard and cooked right but this was over cooked. I ordered the lemon pepper wings and there was hardly any seasoning. we also ordered shrimp and I guess I should have asked what kind of shrimp. we got that butterfly compressed shrimp. I like the real deal shrimp that actually looks like shrimp. we stopped by on a Saturday night around 8:30 and the location closed at 11. we figured that out when the lights were being shut off and the TV cut off. I would go back because of the drinks and I someone said they had pool and darts upstairs but it was closed off right now. I will pass on the food for now."

"We have tried the Foglight Foodhouse several times. The food has always been mediocre but we liked the atmosphere in the summer, so we tried it again tonight. There were 8 of us and I called ahead to see if they would take reservations. They said they didn 't but if we were there at 5:00 there wouldn 't be a problem. We got there at 5:00 and didn 't get seated until 5:30. I asked the hostess (after we waited about 20 minutes) if they had other large tables and was told, you will be seated don 't worry about it. I shrugged that off and we were seated a while later. Waited a long time for our food. The waitress was fine. She kept our glasses filled and was attentive. My daughter and I both got swordfish. Mine was ok but hers was real rubbery more like calamari. She ate part of it and sent it back. Another in our group got a smoked or bar b q chicken. It had such an overwhelming smoke flavor that he took two bites and sent it back. They were not offered a replacement. Two in the group got cajun food it had a really weird sweet flavor but they did eat most of it. When our checks came they had charged half price for the swordfish and for the smoked chicken. Our daughter asked to see the manager and was (not very nicely) told that they had eaten half of it so they would only cut the cost by half. Not wanting to make a scene, the food was paid for and we left after almost 2 1/2 hours with a very bad taste (pun intended) in our mouths. The prices seemed also seemed to be really high."
