The name says it all! Sometimes when you want a greasy spoon you want that spoon to be plastic! Great food and a wide range of menu items! They have been there forever well maybe not forever but I think since the forties or fifties. They recently added to Taco Tuesday so tacos are only $1 on Tuesday! read more

They take phone orders and visa/mastercard accepted, too. Recommended Valley stop for sure! read more

I'm not that picky. I just moved to the neighborhood and this is the closest good burger joint. Better than Wendy's. I just got a bacon cheeseburger combo and a beer from the liquor store and all is good!! Love the steak fries too! read more

The place is ok. Not bad but not great. The best part for me was the steak fries. If you get carry out just know that they're stingy with the condiments. The burger was pretty good - no complaints except they don't put much ketchup and mustard so if you're like me and you like that stuff ask for extra. The fountain drink tasted weird. I probably won't return but if I do I will get a drink from the cooler not a fountain drink. If you're sensitive about appearance then this isn't the place for you. It's very dated and cluttered with drink storage. And it's kind of grimy...ok it's very grimy. read more

I came here while having my car washed bye the place nextdoor. Super freindly, Tasty burger with good fries. The burger had the right amount of everything. seasoning condiments and every thing else. Place was clean and up to expectations. Highly reccomend read more

I love this place! The guy on line before me ordered a tuna melt so I decided to copy him. I know my tuna melts! I order them at deli's and I can tell you that theirs is just as good, if not better! They use quality rye bread and plenty of delicious tuna. I had it for two lunches. Oh and their breakfasts are great too. They're very generous with their delicious hash browns. I can't wait to try their nachos. I wish them continued success! read more

The burgers here are huge and very juicy! I would definitely recommend this family shop for anyone in the area looking for a dank burger and fries. The owners are very friendly as well. Overall 10/10. read more

Food is not bad. I had the Philly steak and it was not bad at all. Could use a little more green pepper and onion but otherwise, good

This place is a hole in a wall. Food is flavorful. I have ordered a few different burgers and burritos here, never been disappointed with the quality of the food. The owner is pretty chill and easy to talk too. He can recommend something if you don't know what to order. read more

Tasty chicken for the chicken breast burger! Just a bit too salty. The fries didn't have any spices on them, and I could barely taste the salt. The ranch wasn't meant for fries, either. I think it was Hidden Valley ranch, the kind you put on salads instead. The food was very filling though. I'm definitely getting the bean and cheese burrito next time; I bit into my friend's and it was amazing. read more

Let me give it to you ..STRAIGHT UP! It's the bomb ...it's the go to place when you can't decide! Is the owner Grumpy!? NO!! That's part of the charm! He's no nonsense gives you the best. Steak fries are the best as is his crushed ice soda in a Styrofoam cup.. for some reason it tastes better than others! And I don't care if you want a bacon cheeseburger or a carne asada burrito you're going to get the best food you ever had in your life it's really good!! I've been a fan for 20 years! He has a turkey club breakfast burrito anything anything you want he can make it... read more

Service was great! Friendly staff. Food was excellent. Great prices. I got the bacon cheeseburger with steak fries and got some french fry seasoning, ketchup and banana peppers on the side. SOOOO GOOD. Best burgers in town. read more

Big Fat - Burgers Near Me - Reseda, California

I love Big Fat. Ever wake up from a night of drinking feeling like your lips have been glued shut? Like a caustic, yellow sea of bile is churning and storming inside your guts and the food you ate last night is hanging on for dear life? When nothing makes sense and your brain feels like the fuzzy, sweaty, stinky armpit of an old man? Umm... well, you get the idea. This place will make you feel good again! Their burgers are juicy and on the greasy side... the onion rings are EXCELLENT. Don't forget those. I like to ask for a side of chili to dip my fries in. Bonus? This place is family-run... the owner's little boy took our money and gave us our change. Come and support our local burger eatery and the family who keeps it going! :) read more

Oh Big Fat.. You really live up to your name as I'm walking out of here. That exactly how I feel.. Big and Fat! This place has been opened for yearsssss. I can't say exactly how long but the decor is original and it's definitely old. The staff is very friendly and they know almost everyone that walks in. I stick to their burgers. I want to say that it's a little on the greasy side sometimes but it's still good. All I have to do is dab it with a napkin and I'm set to go! Lol. It's very inexpensive and pretty quick too. You can eat out or in. Aside from their burgers I've tried their barbacoa tacos and they're not that bad at all. I think the last time I was here they had removed the sign so it can be that they no longer serve them :( The menu is pretty wide. You can find burritos, burgers, tacos, and random plates. Definitely one of the little of lake balboa:) read more

The owner is nice, but the thinner bald guy in the other hand can't answer phones, is rude af, has no customer service, and doesn't wash his hands after he touches the register. When you ask him to wash his hands he gets bothered and gives attitude. I was a loyal customer since 2012 and put up with the bs of the guy who's name I think is Arturo because the food is good but 2019 was the last straw. When I picked up my order I realized I didn't receive my fries with cheese and bacon I asked him to put cheese and bacon so he went to the back amd took the fries out of the bag with his hands after helping a customer at the register. when I confronted him he denied it but I got upset because not only did he lie to my face but he didn't admit his faults after I saw him get my fries with his own bare hands. If I was to go back it would be when the owners is there or at least who I think it's the owner the big fat bald guy! No offense. read more

This place is a tasty hole in the wall. It's called Big Fat for a reason, lots of greasy food. Decent prices, only took cash, but I think they just recently added on debit ( to spend a certain amount). They carry sodas, Orange Bang, Orchata, and several other drinks. They have an old school pin ball machine. It's a lot of neighborhood regulars including myself who grew up on it. Customer service is excellent and make your food upon order. Order is up pretty quick. Cool neighbor spot. Parking is not great, probably about 4 spots specifically for it. It's right next to a car wash and a liquor store. read more

My younger cousin showed me this little joint and wow was I surprised haha Dont expect a huge parking lot, as it is a grab and go type of place to get some BOMB burgers! I recently tried their pastrami burger and it blows away some of the other popular pastrami places (yes seriously) It is a bit more on the greasier side, but come on now, if you're at this place, are you really thinking about that?? I just dont like that the ranch is 50 cents, but it is a small price to pay to compliment their crispy and huge french fries haha The parking is tiny and the place is small, but I think that makes this place more special! read more

This place is great! Their philly cheese steak sandwiches and the double bacon cheese burgers are a big hit in my family. The owner has even waited for us past close time to pick up our order on multiple occasions. The food is delicious and we will definitely keep coming here. read more

Tried out Big Fat last night.... and the name is fitting! I got the double cheeseburger combo and while eating it, I could feel myself getting fatter. That's not necessarily a bad thing... LOL. :-) It was big, and had a great flavor. I'm not sure how much cheese they put on the burger, but it is one of the cheesiest burgers I've had. The fries were larger, fatter fries like steak fries. Pretty tasty. All in all, this isn't a place that I will frequent (or else I will have a heart attack), but it makes me smile to know that places like this still exist. With Habit's and In-And-Out's popping up everywhere, its nice to know that this family-run business is still around. I hope they last! read more

I wanted a burger and some chili fries and knew I needed a place other than In & Out (what great things they could do with Chili I bet). So I have driven past Big Fat quite a few times and decided to give 'em a shot. Upon walking inside and being very pleasantly greeted I opted for a Big Fat burger with cheese and an order of chili fries. I sat down, after passing by a handful of old school arcade machines (all unplugged...weird) and waited. Just a few minutes later (okay, maybe 8 minutes) the gentleman brought out a tray with my burger and fries. Then brought me a fork as he knew I would need it for the chili fries. So the burger was good. For sure cooked to order, over flames, and it tasted really flavorful. The toppings didn't do much in the way of imparting flavor, but it was simple and reminded me of something you'd have at a neighbors BBQ (not in a bad way, just simple and to the point). The fries were steak fries, personally, not a huge fan of steak fries as they are tough to cook all the way though correctly and are even harder to get with a crisp exterior. But this was what the chili was poured over. If I had to guess I would say the chili was brought in and not made in house. It tasted generic... so the addition of mustard and ketchup helped tremendously. Honestly, I didn't have anything that compels me to go back and try something else. The service was exceptional and earns a whole star by itself. It was cheap, but next time I want chili fries and a burger, I will have to look elsewhere. read more

Señor Javier made my 1st visit very welcoming, super friendly. I asked him what Men usually order and he said the double bacon cheeseburger. My man liked it alot.

Slightly pricey I expected a lower total. Big fat cheese burger, chicken sandwich and a large fry was $12.40. Our favorite spot for a similar meal is $8-$9... Ehhhh I was going across the street to get 4 tacos for $6 but changed my mind and tried this place guess that's what you get. Food is ok not great not bad... read more

Best Hamburger in the Valley, hands down! Javier uses only top grade meat. Family owned business. At the same locale since 1961, 60 years serving the Reseda/Northridge/Van Nuys/Lake Balboa area. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. One of the few places that have streak fries. Always great service. Live their burgers and chili cheese fries. read more

I've been coming to Big Fat since my high school days. Their name is honest, this isn't a dieter's safe haven. On the other hand, it does satisfy my hankerin' for burgers and fries. I also really enjoy their tuna melt and that's what I am getting tonight. In recent years the menu has expanded to include home style Mexican fare, which is also good. Good eatin'! & ¡Buen provecho! read more

Probably one of my favorite local food joints around here! They are super friendly and they remember you and have conversation with you when you come in. Their French fries and onion rings are awesome, not to mention the serve not only American cuisine, but Mexican cuisine as well! If you're looking for a place that has cheap, GOOD quality food, this is your place! read more

FYI PLACE OPENS AT 7AM OMG that breakfast hit the spot! Im talking about one of those mornings your soul craves a cheeseburger with fries which is exactly what I got! Ranch for my fries and a lemonade which I should have got a Coke! Anyways the fat fries were such a delight and my cheeseburger was F**kin HUGE. I agree with one of the yelpers the burger didn't have much flavor but I highly appreciated my burger patty was actually made versus a pre made frozen patty. Highly appreciated that. I think aside the lettuce tomato pickles and onion all it had was mayo in the burger. To the owner:::: PLEASE MAKE A SPECIAL SAUCE!!!! I think the right burger sauce will make it a hit! I threw some ketchup on my burger and that made it better. The little yellow chilies made everything nicer of course. Service was great, man at counter was so friendly! Gonna come back and try a breakfast burrito!! In the words of terminator "I'll be back" read more

This place takes number #1 in my book for tacos!!!!!!!!!

BIG burgers and FAT chili cheese fries. yum! BUT its hot inside the restaurant and the services isnt that great. read more

This place is a hole ... Dining area had a seemingly homeless guy hanging out watching telemundo or something. I don't really recommend dining in. The fries were too big, so much so that they weren't that crispy. Their burger was pretty huge and by the time I got home the burger wrap was soaked in grease. I guess they try to live up to their name "Big Fat"? As far as the burger goes, it tasted pretty good. A level of guilt did settle in when I realized how much grease I was probably consuming. I took home their menu, and looked it over that evening. This place does a ton of stuff. You can get chicken teriyaki, asada burrito, chili dog, fried chicken dinner, among 10,000 other different items .. all in the same place. Cool that they have a ton of options... just hope they do them well. This place has been standing since the early 1960's so they must be doing something right. I'll prolly come back here if I'm feeling something greasy. read more

mmmm - messy goodness !!!! Big Fat actually cooks your burger patty to order !! not like those other places who ignore your specifications and give you a hockey puck in between 2 stale pieces of stiff bread. Have a craving for an old-fashioned juicy burger? stop here. The employees are friendly and service is quick. read more
