Fairfields Bar & Grill

My family has gone here a bunch of times over the years but this was my first time coming to Fairfield’s. We went for the Friday Fish Fry that I’ve never had fresh (only have had takeout orders or leftovers) .
I got the Jaws fish fry, beer battered. Your typical Haddock Rochester fish fry that comes with fries and slaw. It was very good! The breading was very flakey and the fish was juicy and filling. It was a really good fish fry! The steak fries were average but the slaw and tarter sauce was very good, a solid compliment to the fish fry.
Why just the 3 star review:
It’s just your typical bar and grill, average. The fish fry was probably one of the best I’ve had but I couldn’t taste the beer like I have had in the past. I would be willing to go back and try again or even get something else to maybe increase this star rating. We sat in the bar and it was very loud but the dining room looked quieter.
I recommend Fairfield’s fish fry and I will be returning.

Awesome dinner special of pasta with mushrooms and asparagus (also came with chicken but I asked to with hold as I’m a pescatarian). The sauce was amazing!

This is one of two local spots we hit when the urge for a good fish fry gets active. Always last minute. Never early. Not a smart way to work it out, but thats the way we are. 7:00 Fri night. Kid home for a visit. Fish Fry! Parking lot full. But wait! Early folks leaving. Seated in less than 5 min. Place is packed. Booth in the back. Perfect for talk time. Waitress, Elena, right there, beer comes quickly. ‘minnow’ portions of battered fish with our choices of sides are served fresh and hot and quickly. All 3 of us pleased. Fish portion is amply big for everyone. Place is packed when we leave. We’re back in the car, happy in the tummies.

We began the evening meeting at 6:30 PM at the restaurant and requested a table for 7. We went to the bar and ordered drinks. An hour later we asked about the table and were told it would not be much longer. At this point 2 of our party did not want to wait any longer and left. After some time we were seated for dinner. The waitress Cathy came over and asked if we would like drinks which we declined because we had already been there for some time. A diet coke was ordered. She appeared bothered that we did not order drinks. We then ordered dinner; 2 french onion soups and two salads. These appeared in an appropriate time. We then waited for our dinners of which two were appetizer portions. The other three meals were a burger, greens and beans over pasta, and broiled fish with sides. At 8:30 we had yet to receive our dinners. I went up to the hostess stand. There were three servers there who explained to me that there were several large parties and that this was the reason for the delay in seating and the delay in receiving or meals. When I returned to the table our meals were being served. After finishing our dinners our waitress asked if we would like dessert. One in our party requested the Tiramisu, the other, apple crisp. A short time later Cathy came back and told us there was no more Tiramisu. No «I’m sorry», no suggestion of another choice and she went to the next table. I asked the person who ordered the apple crisp if she still wanted it and Cathy, who over heard my question came back to the table and said, «I already put it in.» The dessert was served and we were given our bills. I’m a member of the restaurant’s email club and I receive coupons to use. With my bill I gave a coupon that was for $ 10 off 2 dinner entrees. The waitress returned and said the coupon could not be used because I had the fish dinner and that my daughter had the burger and this was not an entrée. First, only the early fish fry was not eligible and you’re telling me that after waiting for dinner seating and waiting to be served and spending over $ 60 on dinner and drinks previous that in an effort to apologize for our inconvenience that they were unable to accept this coupon. OK, so I gave them another coupon for $ 5 of the bill. Then the waitress returns to say ask if I had the top of the coupon. You see the way the business has their webpage formatted the information is printed on different pages and it should go without saying they know what their coupons are good for and you can print out as many as you need. So we give her the other page and she reports that the owner will take the money out of her pay if she accepts an incorrect coupon. Then I get up to leave and Cathy comes up to me and says, «I’m sorry your friend was so annoyed» I explained that we had waited all this time, ordered dinner and then ordered dessert and now you are out of the one she wanted. Cathy then said that our friend did not need to roll her eyes at her and be so rude and if she knew that she wanted the dessert she should have ordered it at the beginning of the dinner. I told Cathy that she is in the service industry and it is her job to service us, She should not blame the customer for being upset when they can’t fulfill their reasonable requests and to tell me what she should have done, totally inappropriate. To summarize, no attempt was made to apologize for our wait for a table or our wait for our meals. I have no interest in hearing about the restaurant’s policies and I certainly don’t want a waitress complaining about how her boss treats her or her perception of how upset my friend was. Overall the staff needs training in customer service and managing expectations of their patrons. At no time should the staff tell a customer that we did something wrong when they are unable to perform their job.

I never quite remember how mediocre this place is until I get there. I’ve badgered my wife into coming here, and then been disappointed. The food has never been BAD, exactly but it’s all very so what? I got pizza both times, maybe it is time to try something else, but frankly I would rather just not go again.

Was looking for someplace new we had not been to fairly close to home. Found Fairfield’s online and saw that they had a fairly large menu of things that looked pretty good.
Got there and the place was almost empty — was about 8 pm on a Tuesday. Order was taken and waitress was very nice. Then we waited. And waited, And Waited. Waited almost an hour for a plate of spaghetti with a sausage and a Cobb Salad. Food was good when it finally came, but after initial contact waitress disappeared and never came back until she served our food then disappeared again. We finally got up looked for someone to get our check and left.
I won’t return. Even though the food was good, it took way too long for nothing special, and the service left a lot to be desired.

Excellent dinners and a friendly bar. We ordered artichoke French on angel hair pasta. My partner went for the grilled wrap and cold slaw. Both were prepared to perfection. The portions were big enough for take home tomorrow ‘s supper. The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is clean and comfortable with nice art work everywhere. We will definitely be going back.

Went for happy hour, not a friendly bartender didnt even say hi when we walked in– messed up our drinks and food. And insisted we didn’t order a half priced app. So we ended up having to pay 9 bucks for quesdillas. Won’t be going back again which is a bummer cause we live so close! Worst artichoke french too!

Good food, big portions, and really big delicious desserts. Lots of coat hooks along the entryway hall… I liked it.
I walked in and was in the bar area, but was promptly greeted and taken to the dining area. It’s a very comfy restaurant. Oh, the dessert case is Right There when you enter, so I already had it in mind.
I had salmon with spinach. It came with rolls and either a salad or soup, and a side of pasta. I tried the chicken curry soup — delicious — and the rolls were different («good» different). They offer whipped butter with the rolls, but when I asked for «real» butter, our server brought me some right away. Actually, we had some special requests, and they were all taken care of, no questions asked. Everyone enjoyed their dinner… Dessert too — we split a piece of peanut butter pie three ways and we were all happy.
Note, they have someone make some of the desserts for them… next time I’ll try one of the ‘special’ desserts!

Last Friday my wife & I had a great meal and terrific service from our server named Mike. It was our first time there and it was quite busy. They got us in right away and we had our drinks and appetizers in just a few minutes. It was a good experience & will be going back again soon. 2 thumbs up!

If you like a fish fry dinner, then this is your kind of place. I am weight conscience and I appreciate the smaller portion option on the menu. Recently moved to the area and this will definitely be a frequent dinner spot. It’s too bad that they recently stopped offering
certificates.
