The Rough Draught Coffee and Barroom in Fenton

What a shame, first timers and we probably are not going back. We did really enjoy our drinks and the food was good too. The burger was not cooked properly (ordered medium but got well done) but it did come out good nonetheless. I loved the smoking gun. The service quality was struggling. We were the only table in the place and I had to get up twice to ask for things. We were never asked if we enjoyed anything or felt that welcome. There was nothing going on to have problems with attention from the staff as again we were the ONLY table.Too many other places to go around here to have to deal with bad service.

Delightful staff and cozy atmosphere! Delicious drinks on tap and daily specials! Also fun food choices!

Funky little place. Graffiti on the walls as decor. Chairs were ripped and mismatched. Food was ok. Drinks were a bit overpriced. Bartender/server was great.

Worst service ever. The people working there were not friendly at all and they never acknowledged that we were even there, literally. Lol ...we were waiting for 15 min, still not even a single person came over . Two couples who came in AFTER us were waited on and still no one came over. After another 30 mins , we finally just left . Definitely not going there ever again. Disappointed on how unprofessional the waitresses were and how rude they were acting looking at us knowing we were sitting there for so long . Don’t recommend.

Went for breakfast. Food was ok. Slightly overpriced. Only ordered 1 item. With side of bacon. Forgot the bacon. Probably better to just go there for drinks.

Ordered the "Big Erve"...got an over cooked, under sized, undercooked mushroom/onion burger with a store bought hamburg bun. The burger was 1/3 of the size of the previous "big erve" that I had ordered in the past. Oh and you forgot the chips....

Great place to dine at any time of the day. Good coffee and really nice drink selection. The food menu is decently large and everything was prepared quickly and nicely for our party.

First time checking this place out. Had the chicken bacon ranch salad and it was awesome. Good beer choices and fun ambience. Can't wait to visit again.

I’m a server so I am very understanding of waiting to be greeted at a table. But 15-20 minutes of not being acknowledged is a joke. Super bummed and left for somewhere else to get service.

Tonight was our first time in, drinks were good, food was ok. I think it was our waiters first day? This is VERY overpriced for what you get. Not to mention the online prices are cheaper than the actual prices. False advertising? We will pass in our next date night out.

Great food, great service and great coffee. Never been disappointed. My favorite is the number 9 on the breakfast menu

Great stop on our scooter ride.

Great food and drink menus! Love the atmosphere too. It gets loud when it's busy, so if you're looking to chat, consider going at a time when it's not busy. Otherwise, you will not be disappointed with the food, drink and atmosphere.

SUCH GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS!! The ATMOSPHERE in there is ASTOUNDING!!! A very good place for just coffee, lunch or studying on your own even. It's a very nice place. I highly recommend.

Very cozy and great service

Delicious unique cocktails with a variety of appetizers and food.

Amazing food and cocktails! Came here for the first time tonight and I was surprised at how big the portions are! You'll definitely leave with a full stomach. The fried pickles were massive and delicious, and they didn't skimp on the sandwiches either. My only complaint is that our server didn't check on us very often, but otherwise I'd highly recommend this place!

I am very willing to update this review the next time I am in Fenton and try again. Pros - nice atmosphere.Cons - for my burger bagel thing ordered medium rare got well, picture posted. The French press was very underwhelming, didn't even come with a timer and beans tasted burnt.

Great burgers in an upscale establishment. Nice staff. Just wish it wasn't so hard to hear... it can get quite loud.

Updated my review! BLT's are great as well as the chips and pickle. Drinks were good, and service was good! Sandwich selection was great, and prices weren't bad for the generous portion you recieve! Check out the cool graffiti schemes. Great quick stop for drinks and lunch, or a coffee and treat.

The only complaint I have of this restaurant is the amount of straws at my dinner table. I was not even asked, when brought my preliminary water, if I preferred straws. I just received one. What if i had a jaw problem and I couldn't drink out of straws? Would I waste a whole plastic straw and put it into the rivers of our planet? However, the pesto sandwich was exquisite. The guacamole? Better than my own, freshly made (because they ran out). Some of my peers, when asked what beverage they desired subsequent to the appearance of straw-laden waters, asked for a Coca-Cola. When this friend of mine received his syrup-filled carbonated beverage, yet appeared another straw! This is not necessary. My feedback is a simple question: Do all your customers need a straw for every drink? Do they need a straw at all? The answer is no.

Great food and always an interesting selection of rotating beers, ciders, stouts, and porters.

Nice trendy little cafe, great location but terrible service. Took three pleads to finally get a cup of coffee...38 minutes later. Then restricted our menu at 11:50 after waiting for 40 minutes to get served. Plenty of staff just not well trained apparently. Little management training maybe? IdkLife's short and many choices nearby

Great place for some coffee and vanilla chai tea latte! Relaxing atmosphere with unique seating chairs and bar as well.

Great coffee house by day and even better gathering place w adult beverages at night! Eclectic, groovy & welcoming.

Super friendly staff, great food, and amazing drinks. I got the mission impizzable and it was super good! The walls have graffiti on them and it's so cool and you can watch the cars outside drive by. Me and my dad love going there and lounging while looking at cars. I can't wait to go back again

It's okay. Got the pesto sandwich and it wasn't that great. Happy that I could get a side salad with it but the ranch was watered down.

Great food and drinks 😋😋👌

We stopped here for a caffeine pick me up between a wedding and reception. It was the best latte we've had in years - we came back on the way home for another one!It has a really modern vibe, and was a cool hang out spot both in the mid afternoon and later at night.

We have been here a few times but nothing in the past 6 months. My wife and I decided to drop in for late lunch and glad we did. They have added graffiti to the walls, kinda cool and were not too busy. Had the homemade chips and sauce, the chips were good but the sauce was nothing to write home about, we would not get it again. Tried a chicken sandwich and it was good, my wife had the avocado bacon sandwich thing and she loved it. Worth the visit and we will be back. Lots of great options in Fenton and this one competes well.

Good environment. Great food. Good drink selection.

Excellent for breakfast. Delicious food and the coffees are large. The service was a bit slow, but still an enjoyable meal.

The drinks are very good and the food is a pleasant surprise - breakfast especially.

The Rough Draft is definitely the #1 spot to be if visiting Fenton. As soon as you walk in you feel warm, and welcoming energy surround you. As someone who doesn't drink often, I always get a little worried ordering drinks. Everything was made incredibly simple here though. The menu was laid out with the different spirit categories, so it was easy to find a drink based off what spirits you prefer. We came for drinks, but decided to order a hummus platter to go with it, and we were so glad we did! Probably the best hummus I've ever had in my entire life, and that is saying a lot. Favorite drink of the night was the So Coco Cool, which was a creamy, and warm coffee with vodka, and whip cream. Every time I come to Fenton The Rough Draft wins me over.

Cute little corner bar with a interesting clash of decor. I had a tequila drink that was amazing, 'you're my boy blue', I think was what it was called. Fairly priced and friendly wait staff. I did feel a bit odd slamming an alcoholic drink in such close tight quarters with babies and small children though.

Best burgers in genesee county. Service is always slow but the food is worth the wait if you have the time. We enjoy the big erve and the T Rex.

Very good atmosphere small intimate Place very artsy and repurposed things all over. Decent beer selection good artist and crafts rinks fantastic type of spin on good old classic bar food done right! Try the mozzarella chips sounds crazy absolutely delicious! :-)....

Always a good selection of craft beers, food is also very good. Best burgers in the county, their beef blend is very good, try e 9 3/4 Burger. Sorry had coffee and mixed drinks. Sometimes has musicians play. The wait for food and service can be a bit long, don't go if you are in a rush.

Great food and drinks! Burgers are awesome! Love the breakfast sandwiches. Little pricey- I go here to treat myself

We went here for St Patrick's Day breakfast. The employees were decorated and fun outfits and a place was definitely ready for celebrations. We were surprised at how busy it was but everybody seemed to be very comfortable in an eclectic seating arrangement with Unique Style chairs and tables. We ordered what they said was one of the most popular items on the menu.It was absolutely delicious

Great bar and wait staff. Burgers never disappoint.

Comfortable space, good food, breakfast items were great, just had black house roast coffee, but very nice

We come back all the timeCozy, trendy, comfy, relaxed... it's got it allLove RD

Meh.... Snug if not crowded bar room feel with a small selection of beer and liquor. The menu is appetizers, burgers, and sandwiches. The service, at least on my short trip was mediocre. I can see stopping by for a quick bite or coffee at lunch. Maybe a beer or drink before dinner nearby, but I wouldn't spend time to eat. It's the new trendy thing on the block with a small menu you've seen everywhere else.

Really great place! Stopped for breakfast while traveling and wish we lived closer. The loaded hash browns are AMAZING and the coffee was delicious. The staff was really friendly, the manager stopped and talked to us for a while; very enjoyable conversation. Not a quick in and out but definitely worth it.

Food was pretty good and coffee was okay, but slow service. I could take it or leave it, to be honest.

This is a cute bar/coffee shop. The hollandaise sauce is perfection. The salted caramel latte was super sweet but tasty. Service is a bit slow so if you're in a hurry just get take out. I will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere! Even better food! Coffee better then Starbucks!

It's a good spot if you're okay with paying for atmosphere. The problem is that there is better atmosphere for a few dollars more half a block away in every direction. The coffee may be phenomenal, but that wasn't what we were there for. Friendly staff, it seems like it's made for first dates.

Huge cocktail selection, including wine, coffee, and tea libation creations! Brunch/breakfast options are amazing. Slum choices for vegetarian in general but so delicious.
