What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Fairways BBQ & Grill offers a unique dining experience blending BBQ with a golf course setting, praised for its friendly staff and diverse drink selection. While many highlight the flavorful BBQ and good value, some reviews express disappointment with the lack of traditional BBQ smoke flavor and occasional inconsistencies in food preparation.
"I’ve worked here for a little over 2 years now. A lot of places will say “we’re a big family” but that is truly the environment you enter when coming to our restaurant. It’s an immediate no judgement and accepting zone- where everybody just wants amazing beautiful food, great drinks, and great music/environment for all guests to enjoy their dining experience. Patty works her tail end off to make sure the show always goes on. Kelli puts her heart and soul into every event we’ve put together. Randy is more than a chef, he’s an educator and a great one at that. Skip just joined the team and stepped right on in making sure everyone gets quality food! There are so many names to brag about here. I’m just extremely proud of the team I get to be apart of and the restaurant I’m affiliated with! C’mon and give us a try! All are welcome! We are beyond excited to meet new faces and give them a comforting and delicious experience!"

"This is not a BBQ place in the true sense of the word. I was looking for a BBQ restaurant nearby after church. I wanted to try someplace new. This popped up in my search results and had very good reviews. I decided to give it a try. My experience was, in a word, disappointing. The only BBQ on the menu was pulled pork in a sandwich or on a platter. I chose the platter. The BBQ had no smoke flavor, and appeared to not be freshly made. The first clue you get is you don't smell any BBQ being smoked on a grill when you walk in. It was also too salty.
If you're looking for good BBQ, this is not the place."

"Patty and the crew make this course! Not to mention the cart girls go out of their way to keep the drinks flowing. The Chefs are on point and serve amazingly good food. Definitely try the pork quesadilla, turkey reuben, or the wings are contenders for this area. Course is in pretty good condition but the grill truly makes it more like a country club feel without the membership dues. Thanks team!"
