it is with great sadness to hear that fat Willy's is closing we've dined there quite a few times and it was the perfect relaxing atmosphere getaway.
We visited here in 2016 in the afternoon. A dining out after the movies. A welcoming to my new home. I just moved to Chicago in 2013 and tasting so many different types of foods. So, when you crave ribs you seek out. Fat Willy's there are so many flying pig's statutes all on the walls, the floor sitting. Or hanging from the rafters. Great BBQ friendly staff. Free smells. It's painted Black inside with a large chalkboard sitting at the back wall. People would draw or leave funny words when we there. My sister said all of the chairs are piled up against the wall. They are using outdoor seating, and pickup delivery. Or Grub hub service. We picked it up ourselves. My sister was mad this delivery guy stole her parking spot.
Good food. Good sauce. I've gotten a few things like the mac and cheese that were just not for me, but they weren't "bad". Never eaten in house though!
From the first moment you come to that restaurant the stuff gives you an excellent feeling. Very courteous team, it is a lovely place to enjoy with friends and colleagues or with your date. very good food, creative chef de cuisine, competitive cost and professional service. Warmly recommended.
It was mothers day and my mom really wanted ribs so I decided to give this place a try. It was the most disappointing thing I ever did. The ribs themselves came cold and very hard, decent flavor but really tasted like they were microwaved. The side portions were very unappetizing and extremely small. The coleslaw had a stench and taste like no coleslaw I ever had before. The mashed potatoes and gravy also had a foul smell I could not stomach. As for the portion sizes? Pathetic. A tiny little cup about the size of a pudding cup for mashed potatoes and coleslaw, 1/3 of a corn on the cob and a small piece of texas toast. The food was expensive and very unappetizing, I spent 75 dollars and we were still hungry after. 0 stars, definetly not returning ever.
Really great lunch and dinner place. Staff is very nice and speedy. Food is great. Been coming here for years. Parking is really easy with the lot across the street and it delivers really well.
This site is my preferable site. Of all restaurants I know I like it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. when I want to go to a delicious supper, this restaurant comes straightaway to my head. splendid and food and a large menu.courteous staff members, and pleasant atmosphere. Not less important, the price is reasonable. I recommend this spot with great pleasure.
Definitely open to coming back.
I sent my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I visit this restaurant often. This recommendation is always successful. The dishes they serve are flavorable and the team is welcoming and cooperative. always when we visit this place we pass a delightful time. warmly recommended.
Man where do I start ? I used to come here alot with my sons mom and family back in the mid to late 2000s and this place was amazing with fair prices for the college student I was . Now fast forward 11+ yrs later the quality has gone down and prices have gone up. My meal wasn't nasty I had the brisket sandwich but between the portion size and flavorless baked beans I got as a side item I left a little upset. Nevertheless I wouldn't be surprised if they have new owners because they are not the same as they were in the mid to late 2000s

Good customer service and great food. I ordered my food to go. The greens was better then what I expected well seasoned. The cornbread was moist, the steak fries was good and not overly cooked. The baby back ribs was well seasoned it could've been a little more juicy but was very tender. I will return again.
This place has really good Bbq and their fried Catfish is off the hook! Big portions and pure deliciousness! ?
This spot offers extraordinary service as well as delicious menu. My favourite spot in town. The food arrived fast and the prices are affordable. I recommend this place.
two days ago was the first time we came to that restaurant. But It is definitely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the courteous service, with the magnificent cuisine and fine drinks and with the modest pay. We will no doubt go back there soon.
Ordered the sliders, meat was really dry and had no flavor. Friends ordered Ribs, they were also dry and burnt
