Went to Fatboys for the first time tonight and it won’t be our last. After waiting for a seat we were met by the owner who welcomed us and told us we would enjoy the food and he wasn’t wrong we had the Kentucky shared platter and it was definitely filling and the price was affordable. Our server was Emma who filled our drinks and told us what food was coming and what dips were available. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. Will definitely be back

Fantastic Food!!! I cannot speak highly enough of Fatboys Southern Smokehouse! My wife and I enjoyed an amazing 10 year anniversary dinner at Fatboys, Shawn is great at explaining the options available and suggesting some great choices; Emma, our waitress, offered wonderful options and was so friendly and personable, and we were offered a tour of the restaurant and smoker as all the meat was being prepped!!! Such a wonderful experience with an awesome hometown vibe!!!

Absolutely CANNOT recommend Fatboys Smokehouse enough!!! Amazing friendly staff, (Shawn and Emma in particular), fantastic service with wonderful suggestions that did not disappoint and an all around fantastic experience!!! You know it’s good when you haven’t even finished your meal yet you are trying to find a way to fit in another visit before you head home!!! We will be back to Fat it’s at every opportunity🙌🏻
