  Good service, good food. Had calabash chicken. Very good! Also had potato soup which was excellent. Too much noise. Seated near kitchen. Much yelling and laughing from kitchen staff. Server was at a station directly behind where I was seated, rolling up silverware. She had to talk with every other waitress who walked by. Very distracting while trying to carry on a conversation with my wife......

  Despite the name, they seem to have recently revamped their menu to be healthier and to have gluten-free options, but not many vegetarian entrees. Seriously, do you have to put bacon on EVERY SINGLE SALAD?!
  
  Anyways, I was able to piece together some side dishes which were good. I can recommend the cole slaw, the steamed veggies and the mashed potatoes. My mom and my sister loved the lite grilled salmon and my dad devoured his shrimp & grits. I don't know anyone whose eyes don't light up when the poppy seed rolls & honey butter arrive at the table.
  
  They have some new dessert shooters for us sugarholics that need help with portion control. I had the chocolate mousse and the key lime pie shots, which were decent.
  
  I think some of the menu items are overpriced for what they are, but our server was good and the bathrooms were clean. As the three starts imply, this place is A-OK.

  Is today Tuesday?  If so, try the Chicken Stew (they only serve it on Tuesdays).  It's a cream based heavy soup, a little spicy, and really good.  The bartender says they "run out" every Tuesday.
  
  I also ordered the Spinach Salad with chicken.  It had all the right ingredients (chicken, fresh spinach, red onion, dried cranberries, cherry tomatoes, cheese, egg, bacon) but I did not like the warm bacon dressing - so I would not order this again.
  
  The bartender was a great waitress - I ate at the bar.
  
  I'd come here again...  The food appears fresh.  The customer base is a little older than I thought it would be.  Mostly seniors when I was here...

  So FATZ has some pretty good reviews on Yelp, and being in a completely new place with not a lot of choices (woo, Gaffney), it seemed the pick of the litter.  Sitting under a giant peach is definitely great advertising, but delivery counts.
  
  Pros:
  
  - The grilled vegetable kabob had a lot of flavor, smokey and fresh.
  - The beers on draft are reasonably priced.
  - The staff is very friendly.
  
  Cons:
  
  - The chicken wings are just not very good.  They're never going to be as good as buffalo, but at least get the sauce right.  Not this sticky sweet thing.
  
  Everything Else:
  
  - The fried chicken tenders, which are supposedly a specialty are just alright.  Nothing bad about them, but they not great.
  - The fries were alright too, processed cheese whiz with cheese and bacon crumbles.  Nothing special, but far from the best ever.
  
  Overall, it's not a bad place, but it's not the best ever.  In the Gaffney area this might be top tier, but it's a lonely stretch of highway.

  The service was excellent. Our waitress was on top of our needs and the meal was excellent The place had plenty of room to accomodate a lot of people and it was easy to find (for someone that is from out of town like me).

  I wasn't expecting much from a restaurant that had a gigantic, life-size,  peach colored replica of Delta Burke's ass suspended above the roof and visible from the freeway but I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
  
  First, the service was outstanding. We had an incredibly attentive waitress and I could see the other patrons were being treated the same. We ordered a smattering of all the southern classic comfort food like fried green tomatoes, fried okra, pot pies, and fried chicken calabash. All of the food was outstanding and the chicken calabash in particular was nothing short of a blessing.
  
  Be wary though, eating here with any frequency may send you in for that bypass surgery sooner than you think fatty.
