Food: Unremarkable taste profile
The 'classic vanilla sundae' at Fair Oaks tastes more like a vanilla routine, devoid of creativity, just like the 'strawberry ice cream'; the only thing heavenly about it is its price. Even the 'chocolate malt ball ice cream' leaves no room for the imagination, lamenting a long lost variety, a plea for a banana split, perhaps.
Large Portions
Generous portions consistently praised and considered perfect by many reviewers.
Okay Taste
Food described as average, standard diner fare; neither bad nor exceptional.
Not Creative
Menu has become unoriginal and doesn't align with the store's theme.

Vibe: Tediously original ambiance
Through musty rose-colored glasses, the decor at Fair Oaks seems charming. But on a sporadic date night (as long as they don't forget the drinks), you realize the clutter of yesteryear is just that, clutter. The buzz has ceased, replaced by a lulling hum that's unremarkably typical.
Great For Dates
Great for date nights with romantic and cute atmosphere, well-liked.
Okay Ambiance
Decor is dated yet charming, creating a unique but sometimes cluttered atmosphere.
Negative Buzz
Lacks the previous charm and ambiance, now feels typical and unremarkable.
Perks: Gratingly slow service
Of course, you'd be hard-pressed to quickly find such a cluttered place without reservations. Bolt to the 'not so convenient' outdoor seating, past the neglected pet water bowls, thrust aside by groups squeezed into tiny table tops. It all culminates to a disorganized symphony touting sublime disregard for time.
Great For Kids
Friendly staff, suitable menu, great for kids and family dining experience.
Okay To Park
Street parking varies; sometimes plentiful, occasionally challenging.
Bad For Groups
Cramped seating, long waits, and overwhelming service for groups
