LOVE Fat Larry's. Sandwiches are great (I usually go w/ the classic roast beef on sourdough, extra horseradish), and service is fast and friendly (even when busy). I'd give an extra star if I could for when they carry the Dirty Funky Fusion chips!

Came here 3 days ago with on a whim (live in Maine) with my MIL. The man at the counter was friendly enough but wanted to leave a review bc the sandwiches were delicious. I got the California Turkey on white, Yum, except the bacon was way undercooked. She had the Chicken Salad w/cranberry on toasted sourdough. The sandwiches were very big with fresh ingredients. They do not skimp on the meat. We sat outside and enjoyed the view of the sweet town. Will be back to Reading very soon and hope to go back. Next time I'll make sure to order one of their gigantic pickles. 4 1/2 stars bc of the undercooked bacon.

Came home from Colorado and was looking for a local place… yup this did it. Friendly local vibes immediately. My girlfriend got the turkey cheddar apple and I got the pepper jack chicken. Sandwich was fresh and really good. Need more local spots like this.

The reviews weren't lying. It's the best roast beef sandwich I've ever had in my life.
I ordered it with gluten-free bread, and when it arrived at the table, I was shocked by the size.

The flavor was even more impressive.
I highly recommend it. I'm already planning my next visit.

If I could, I'd give it 6 stars.

I’ll admit I’m a little biased—I’m a regular at Fat Larry’s, and there’s a reason I keep coming back. This place is the quintessential local-owned deli and ice cream shop, right in the heart of downtown Reading.

The sandwiches are amazing, made fresh and packed with flavor. The prices are fair, and the staff is always super friendly and attentive. The space itself is small, charming, and full of that old-school, hometown vibe that’s hard to find these days.

Whether you’re grabbing a sandwich or a scoop of ice cream, everything here is top-notch in a laid-back, no-frills kind of way. This isn’t a fancy place—it’s just a legit, small, local shop doing things right. One of my favorite go-to spots, and I strongly recommend it if you’re in the area.

Delicious local sandwich and ice cream shop. If you're in the area, you have to try this place. I got the Italian on sourdough bread. Absolutely the best tasting sandwich that I've had. My friend got the turkey apple cheddar on marble bread with a side bowl of chicken noodle soup. He loved it as well. The meats, vegetables and bread were very fresh. We'll definitely be back to try a different sandwich. They also serve ice cream and have a different soup every day.
