This was one of those iconic places that only come around once a few decades. Food was too good, there will never be another fat wedge u. I miss this place so much, so sad that the owner of the building greedily kicked them out.

The man told me, "I'm going to make you the best Italian combo you've had in a long time." He looked in to my eyes knowing he was right. It was incredible. Bread delivered every morning from Arthur avenue. Spicy peppers, nice dressing on top. Man if you read this, thank you so much, I needed something quick and you absolutely killed it. Nicest people run this place, they make arguably one of the best Philly's in the state. The crazy sandwiches are bomb af when you're stoned.Kid-friendliness: My kids like the chicken tenders a lot.

I got the single burger with onion rings and I couldn’t have been happier! Beautiful spring day and I was craving a quick, quality meal and Fat Wedge U didn’t disappoint!

Passed by this place too many time since I moved to Hamden. They have so many good choices that I think I’ll be going through the whole menu. I only wish it was open a little later but still an awesome place.

We got amazing lunch takeout last week. Fat Drunk Greek wedge, chili fries. Today my teen son and his buds went there for lunch and raved. Chicken ranch wrap. Said the guy working was "so fun." Thanks! For good food, a fun menu (SOF) and fun times.

Amazing experience from this legendary restaurant. Come here when you're hungry, hungover, or ready for a flavorful explosion. Run by the one of the nicest/funniest guys you'll ever meet. Give it a shotParking: Extra parking in the rear if need be.

One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Stopped in after a hike at Sleeping Giant State Park. Delicious. Owner was very welcoming/knowledgeable too. We’ll be back!

My favorite restaurant in the Hamden area! Not only is the food absolutely to die for, but the customer service is like nowhere I've ever been before. Mario, Sarah, and crew happily welcome you into the restaurant like you're family and are always ready to recommend the best things on the menu. My favorite thing to order is the Chicken Souvlaki. The chicken is marinated in a secret (but addicting) marinade and stuffed into a warm pita along with Tzatziki, Feta, Onions, Lettuce and Tomato. The pricing is also really good for anyone looking a cheap but delicious date night. I've said it a million times and will say it a million more..I HIGHLY recommend Fat Wedge U.
Junk food extraordinaire. We had it delivered and it was all ridiculously delicious.

Fire, reasonable prices, sandwich I got is the Feegee. The fries are like better Mcdonald’s fries (I don’t eat McDonalds but everyone knows the fries are good there). Man who I believe is the owner was super friendly. The atmosphere inside is neat. The quality of the shaved steak was superb, bread was fresh and the wedge sauce is a great addition. The best thing is - they combine all this heavy stuff but it was hardly greasy if AT ALL, and it gave me energy without tiring me out later on. I think i’ll be getting the “blunt” sandwich next time LOL. Top 10 spot!

The portions are huge and the value matches what you get. Come very hungry and ready to get hit by eating a lot of fried food. It's good for sure, but probably too much (don't change a thing). I was full the entire day and next . If you order the fries , you must have someone to share with. It's definitely meant for hungry college students.

If you love America you will eat here. Do I need to say more? Ok, I will. The food is absolutely spectacular. You get your money's worth and it tastes delicious. Has a great vibe and family is always welcome. Stopped in on a whim and I WILL be going back. You need to eat here!
