  Went here recently with a party of 10 for lunch.  I ordered the popcorn shrimp.  Unfortunately salad shrimp apparently qualifies as popcorn shrimp.  The portions were small and the wait time was unacceptable.  Good luck getting your $2.40 soda refilled.  I won't go back.

  Had lunch here with the in-laws over the holidays. Great service and really good food. I had a seafood combo. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter on the shrimp was very light and crisp. I also had their crab soup and it contained a lot of crab and just the right bite of spice. I'd definitely enjoy eating here again.

  Poor service and mediocre food.  Been there twice and had a bad experience both times.  Won't go back.

  A chain? Maybe... although this is the one and only I've seen. I'm not disputing that this is a chain, because it looked too ... chain-y... to be independent. I just hate habitual chain bashers. There's nothing wrong with it if it serves good food.
  
  Aside from the constant cackling from a middle-aged drunken redneck at the bar, I found this place purely enjoyable. The food was well prepared, well presented, and well eaten. There were a few unique menu items, such as the fried green tomato topped burger that I ordered, which was large an juicy. The fries were plentiful, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, and my fruity rum drink was divine. Although I'd say the spinach dip appetizer was a wee bit, well.. wee.. it was delicious as well. Sprinkling cajun seasoning on corn chips is a good idea, Fatz!
  
  I'd eat it again. And again. And probably a few times after that.

  My new roommate doesn't "do" Mexican.  Chinese is out.  Most Asian food is a no.  In fact, most ethnic food is out of the question.  Her idea of a good dinner is Applebee's.  Needless to say, our opinion on good food does not align.  So when she recommended Fatz as a compromise ("Like O'Charey's but better!" she promised...) I was dubious at best.  
  
  However, Fatz Cafe really stepped up to the plate.  The decor isn't cheesy, no pieces of flair here, and the food was well prepared and simply executed.  There were no celebrity chef menus, just good "American" favorites.  The meal starts with little fried breads that are quite a nice surprise!
  
  I'm not exactly a "fan" of any chain restaurant, which is what keeps this review from getting 4 stars from me.  However, out of the Chilli's, TGI Fridays, Applebees, O'Charley's line-up, Fatz definitely outshines them all.  Mostly, I'm just glad to have found a good compromise restaurant with my new roomie!
