Food is excellent, top notch Mexican-American breakfast cuisine. Service is quick and polite, free refills of good coffee. Ambiance is classic modern breakfast cafe, no surprises. Been a long time since last I visited Fat Nats, a Twin Cities landmark. Frankly, I forgot how good it is. Get here early, or be prepared to wait in line - but not too long, since they have lots of tables, and they work fast, making tons of food every day. Fat Nats is locally famous for their pancakes, which have extra vanilla and above average taste of yeast. They also make a variety of egg dishes, some delivered with their house salsa, which is a peppy, chunky red delight. They also have a green salsa, a blended tongue warmer. Don't get either if you don't like spicy heat. I love spicy heat. Prices without coffee are under $15, and you might need a container for half of it. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure. Great food, great place to eat.

Had an amazing breakfast experience at Fat Nat's Eggs over the weekend! Despite the early morning rush at 8am, we were seated immediately, no wait required. The service was impressively quick and the staff were incredibly friendly. Our orders came out in no time, and the food was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the Mexican American twist to their breakfast menu—truly unique and scrumptious. It's safe to say Fat Nat's Eggs has become my new favorite spot for breakfast. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic meal to start their day!

Food here is always good. Prices have climbed a bit since the last time we were there. The folks working there are always great along with the playlist.

Since it's not a secret this is a top place for breakfast expect a wait on weekends. They have large portions, great food, and friendly staff.

Great breakfast selection! I've never had a bad meal here. The portions are large, so we usually end up taking leftovers home. They also have a lunch menu that looks tasty, but I always choose to have breakfast at Fat Nat's. The servers are wonderful, too!

I don’t understand all the good reviews for this place. It was the most disappointing, mediocre food I’ve eaten in a long time. The grilled cheese is a single piece of Kraft American cheese on Walmart wheat bread and they have the audacity to charge $10? Same for the French toast. We had three dishes at our table and they ranged from bad to meh. The price is not worth it for the amount or quality of food you get.
I have always had good food here. Breakfast or lunch. I've even had a burger and fries at 7am. Great burger.

I met a friend here for breakfast. The venue was his recommendation. There was enough options on the menu to see satisfy any mood I happened to walk in with. I believe I got an omlet and a carb. It was good. Pretty solid cafe.

First timer went here today. Great breakfast spot. Has a small cafe feel. Food is tremendously delicious. Pancake mix has a little Almond or vanilla flavor in it. Taste great!! I think it's almond. Portions are very large so come hungry and you won't leave disappointed. I ordered a skillet with eggs and hash browns. Tasted wonderful. Just like everything these days, prices are going up on all ingredients and this is reflected in their prices. I would go back if I was looking for breakfast and in the area. Try it out. You'll love it!!
looking for a hefty weekend breakfast? fat nat is the place to go. their food and services will get you well taken care off.
