I LOVE fat shack BUT the woman working tonight was cursing out customers and I just don’t understand why that was happening. Uncalled for and inappropriate.

Tried this place coming from out of state. Ordered 15 buffalo wings. Wings were pink in the middle, none were fully cooked. Sauce was good had potential but due to uncooked meat this was bad!

Can’t miss the small as you walking (Burger King gives them a run, but…). The whole neighborhood (just a couple of blocks) is a sea of gut-busting choices (many with burger and similar offerings). It is just what the name says -- a fat juicy (greasy) burger served at the counter. You won’t need (want?) another meal today.

Didn't notice special instructions for hamburger but otherwise fine.

The name sums up the experience pretty well. The cost is a bit steep, but it has interesting things on the menu, like the fried oreos. Definitely a good pit stop spot for the party scene on the Hill. It's a staple in the area.

The service? Absolutely amazing—she was sweet, attentive, and honestly, I should’ve just let her take control when she suggested the burger (always listen when someone knows what’ll satisfy you). But the food? Oof… let’s just say it left me unsatisfied and wondering where the real size went. I ordered the “Fat Bronco.” Nothing fat about it—more like a Slim Jim on a diet. They promised me a “long” roll, but what I got wouldn’t impress anyone in the locker room. Inside was the saddest little ménage à trois I’ve ever seen: one tiny chicken strip, one lonely mozzarella stick, and a handful of cold fries. If this is supposed to be a Bronco, it’s more like a Shetland pony. Great service though—she deserves all the stars. The food just needs to learn how to live up to its name and actually deliver some girth.

The food is always really good, but I placed an order two hours ago and have been waiting the entire night. Idc about the time, I’m just annoyed I can’t even call the store because their phone number doesn’t work to ask what’s up. Tried calling multiple times, can’t even leave a msg. The call just ends. Good food tho

This place is amazing! Niko and Amber were so kind and helpful! The food came out super fast and tasted delicious. This place is perfect for late night snacks and bites. I can’t wait to be back!!
A huge shout out to Niko and Amber - you absolutely made my sister and I’s night! Our food was prepared quickly and tasted amazing. The atmosphere was calm and easy to be in. Not to mention, both Niko and Amber went out of their way to be kind, helpful, and just awesome overall! I loved this place before, but I will definitely be returning more often now.

We came here after a concert at the Fox Theatre - perfect place for after concert bites. We went for the fat sandwiches, the half is the size of burger and fully loaded. Paired it with onion rights. Saucy, savory, just great flavor combo. Service was super friendly and offer recommendations. Ill be coming back again.

This evening, my friends and I walked in after a hike. There was no one at the counter when we got there, so we looked over the menu for about five minutes, but still no worker had shown up. I went to use the restroom while we waited and it was a complete mess, trash on the ground and graffiti all over the door and walls. When I came back to the counter, the worker (white guy with blonde hair) had finally came out. We walked up, and he immediately told us to use the kiosk. My friends told him that the kiosk wasn’t working and was asking for a code. He rolled his eyes, cussed under his breath, and hopped over the counter to check it. After realizing it really didn’t work, he jumped back over the counter and said he guessed he would have to take our orders. While taking our orders, he was extremely unfriendly and snarky to our group. My friend went up to the counter when it was his turn to order, said hello and greeted the worker which was completely ignored. When I ordered, I asked for a sandwich, a side, and a water cup, he told me I would have to wait for my water cup until he was done taking everyone’s orders, which wouldn’t have been a big deal at all, except for the tone he used with my friends and I throughout our interaction was consistently cold. After finishing with the group, he grabbed a stack of water cups from under the counter right next to the register, tossed them onto the counter, and said that anyone who wanted a water cup could come get one, then walked back into the kitchen. When the food was ready, he brought out the sandwiches but became irritated when there was minor confusion about whose sandwiches were whose. After that, he returned to the kitchen and we didn’t see him again for the last thirty minutes that we were in there.
I understand there were only two workers at the time, and it may have been overwhelming, but we were the only customers there and were not rude, standoffish, or difficult in any way. It just felt like he was upset about having to do his job, and was taking it out on the customers.
This was my first time at Fat Shack, and unfortunately, it will probably be my last.

I went at 7-8 pm and a guy at the checkout was rude to me and told me to move, white guy, light hair, black shirt and light pants, Silver necklace.The other customer there looked at me and laughed at the awkwardness of the moment. Disappointing
