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....
Well from what i seen from the food, its ridiculous and smells great. Big portions. The sports bar and restaurant are separate but you can get your food in the bar area which is great. They do karaoke and have pool tables. Super plus is when my friend dragged me here, I was drinking soda and the server didn't even charge me for it. AWESOME. I will be back to try the food. And the clientele after a certain hour definitely changes, and i hope security is watching LOL. Don't forget you are in Aurora.
Review Source:Aww Fat Boys... My favorite Saturday night Karaoke spot. Ginny definitely knows how to keep the party jumpin'. Very organized play list, names displayed on monitors so you never have to wonder where you are in the queue...Did I mention Saturday nights is Ladies Night? Cheap drinks from 9pm to close - happy hour priced appetizers. Great for large groups and the patrons are friendly, so you can also go alone. Win, win.
Review Source:Never have I dined at a place whose name was more accurate.
Portion control is out of the window here. The BBQ trio basket didn't come in a basket at all. It was a full plate of food: ribs, chicken, sausage and fries. Not great but ok.
The decor in this sports bar is actually quite dressed up, despite the yellow and red outside appearance. I would seriously consider taking my wife here for a quiet lunch. It's actually dare I say "romantic" in the dining area.
The bar area is standard sports bar but not in a dumpy way. I like it here, and I can't wait to visit again when a good game is on or just to hang out.
This place has awesome drink specials and is less than two miles from my apartment. SCORE!! The service was amazing. Their outdoor patio is very spacious and comfortable. They make a lot of their food in house which is surprising. My only gripe would be the people that this place attracts, they can be very loud and annoying, but hey you can't blame the establishment for that.
Review Source:Had the chance to eat at Fat Boys while visiting Auroa. Since Im obviously not a local I really enjoyed myself. First the food is really really good here, especially their ribs!! One of the better places I've been around the would that has really good bar food. The Pitchers were nice and cold and the prices were fair. The atmosphere was also good. Saturday nite is Karaoke  nite and they have some really good singers that come out (I visited twice). As for the service, it was very good. We got our food quick and it was nice and hot.
All in all, I Â would definatley visit again given the chance and choice.
Bad, bad service. It seemed like the waitress was unhappy or something because she was just not attentive, rude, and harbored negative energy. So rather than put up with her, I chose to get my own drinks from the bar, where it was a huge contrast. Â The gentleman and young female bartenders were super nice and super sweet. I like this place because it does have the "local sports bar" feel and it's reasonably priced. Big patio and 2 pool tables complete this establishment. I'd given it 4 stars if the waitress wasn't such a... witch.
Review Source:Well I've been coming here for years. It's mainly to see a few old friends who live in that neighborhood so we can relax and have a few beers. It serves this purpose quite well.
The beers are cold, reasonably priced with a decent selection. I'm pretty certain this covers the majority of beer prerequisites. I have always had a pleasant experience with the servers. They are engaging and friendly and I enjoy this from a local bar or anywhere else now that I think about it!
It has both a bar side and sit down side. Now yes...the bar side DOES have a line of regulars bellied up, VERY possibly getting drunk and watching football like an aforementioned review. Ummmmmmm, it's a neighborhood sports bar....so if these dudes weren't here I'd be concerned and Fat Boy's would probably cease to exist....enough said.
The sit down side is decent enough for me to bring my daughters regularly and the servers again are really nice and always start up a conversation with them. I like it when people treat them as individuals and not mindless creatures just needing food. I will always award points for this.
ANYWAY...when we are on this side we ALWAYS order their ribs. Jeez Louise these babies are fabulous. They are huge and so tender they fall off the bone and land in a perfect pile on your plate. The sauce is smokey and sweet and rich and not so blazing spicy you wish you had a fire hose handy. I love these ribs and would drive through fire for them. One thing sometimes they are a touch fatty...but that's not the end of the world now is it? The orders are HUGE so tread lightly, oh and the wings are pretty darn tasty too. They are a good healthy size and don't appear to have been recently exhumed from Dinosaur Ridge like some others I've seen.
So this place is what it is, cold beers, friendly service and pretty good bar food. Not the best of the best but a familiar and very happy medium.
This really is a local spot. That being said its not a bad little sports bar with a patio and a sit down restaurant. Its not upscale its not run down its basically your run of the mill sports bar throw in a couple of pool tables, juke box and a couple regulars sitting at the bar plotting their next clever conversation to start with the bartender that only they have a crush on because they haven't been laid since 83 and you pretty much have it!
We go here for one reason and one reason only they have a special where you get 50 wings and not the puny little wings you get at some other places and a pitcher of beer. How can you go wrong, seriously decent wings, beer, sports on the TV and some night they have karaoke so you have built in entertainment! that rivals American idols worst!
Hey to the light skinned girl I met there, you never called I really thought we had a moment sharing wings! I guess my spilling ranch on you ruined it.
