What a kick-ass bar and grill! The food was VERY good and the philly my hubby ordered was one of the best we've ever had. My father-in-law got a biscuits and gravy plate that was HUGE and soooooo tasty! The service was pretty good and the prices are fair.
I guess they have daily events like Saturday nights is ladies night, other nights they have open pool and such.
I'm so stoked to live literally across the street. :)
Last night at around 8:30 PM, a group of us decided wrongly to go have dinner on the patio. I wish I could take that decision back. If a server's job is to ignore us and smoke cigarettes with the drunks on the patio, then give ours 5 STARS. I wish I could give the place ZERO STARS. We had to get our own menus and probably should have gotten our own refills. We had the "loaded skins", "Gumbo platter" and the "Monte Cristo".
We are not picky by any means and it amazes me that places like this can go on doing business.
Have you ever seen "Restaurant Impossible" or "Kitchen Nightmares" and thought to yourself, "Hmm, he's just being critical of the food because it makes for good TV." Well, I wasn't on TV and the food and service was trash. The skins were obviously old and microwaved. The Monte Cristo was loaf of bread with a few pieces of meat and cheese shoved in and the Gumbo was a watery, canned mess. Did i forget to mention that the server brought it out to me with the spoon drowned in it?
It would have been nice if they could keep the drunks from yelling at the top of their lungs too, I never thought that the patrons could be louder than the traffic driving by, but I was wrong. Did I mention at least 2-3 of the loud yelling idiots on the patio were wearing "Fat Boys" t-shirts?
Now this message goes out to the OWNERS.
Dear Fat Boy,
You claim to be the "Home of the Dollar Double" and I scoured the menu and could not find one mention of the Dollar Double. Lord knows our negligent waitress didn't tell us. Our portion of the bill was 34 dollars. As a fellow business owner, I think it's good business to refund customers all of their money once they have explained that their experience has been unsatisfactory. At the very least, you could refund our money and we can part ways amicably. I doubt you will be in business very long unless drastic changes are made. You can find me by responding to this review.
Hands Down!!!
1. Â Theee best Green Chili on Alameda
2. Â Theee best Colorado Chicken Sandwich in Denver/Aurora
3. Â Great jukebox selection! Â (unless it's changed)
4. Â A neighborhood staple.
I anticipate my visit back home every year JUST so I can go to Fat Boys. Â What would I do without this place. Â *Sigh* Makes me thoroughly miss home.
Shout out to Janet! Â Definitely a female owner/manager who holds it down....
