My family and I were just driving through Memphis around lunchtime, so we decided to stop for lunch. We usually stop at Sonic or Subway on the way back home, but I was intrigued by the bbq truck next door. So I decided to check it out. The owner was very friendly and helpful. I needed something fairly quick and not too messy, so I got the chopped brisket sandwich. I kind of expected it to be either dry, bland, or way oversmoked. It was none of these. It was really good! Good smoke flavor without being too strong. Good seasoning. Sorry, I was super hungry and didn't get a picture. But if you're passing through Memphis, I'd recommend giving this place a try! read more

Delicious!! Great owner!! Brisket was super tender and amazing!! If I'm ever in Memphis again I will be back!! read more

After 12 hours of driving this place hit the spot. Staff were super friendly, and though the food truck is a small setup at an old gas station they pack some big flavor. I've never heard of frito pie, but it was damn good. If I'm even through again I'd love to try the ribs. read more

Damn good roadside food truck. I always am open to trying some good hole in the wall or food truck. I was passing through the area with a horse trailer, so I needed something that was easy to get to. I found this GEM through Yelp and I was damn pleased with the delicious, affordable and fast BBQ. Thanks for a yummy sandwich! The owner, who also was the one serving me food, was the real deal.

Fat And Happy BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Texas

We pulled over because I saw this little road side stand with an actual smoker out back. In my experience, if you can smoke meat in the middle of a Texarkana heat wave, you are 1. Tough as cow toenails and 2. Dedicated to smoked meats. We were not disappointed. Generous portions, meaty, smoky, tender with just enough fat and bbq. And a fat and happy owner serving things up with a smile. There's no seating but we turned the AC up and fought off the dogs to eat. Definitely worth it if you do the drive to Huachuca and pass thru here. read more

Best chopped beef sandwich I've ever eaten!! Hospitality of the owner was the best. A definite "We will be back!"

I've been passing this food truck for a minute now and they're always closed. I was starting to think they just stored the truck there. Needless to say the one time I saw it open I had to stop...especially with a name like Fat and Happy. I ended up getting a QP of brisket and a QP of the pulled pork. It comes with pickles/jalapeños/onions and bbq sauce. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. The pulled pork was just as good. Seriously, their bbq is amazing. FYI they do chop the brisket and pulled pork. I really didn't care for the bbq sauce until I poured some on the meat and it just went so well together. I could kick myself for not getting some ribs. Maybe next time if they're open. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Great BBQ! The small sandwich was very generous. Lean, tender and perfectly seasoned.

Stopped on the way through town. Excellent food for a good price. Owner was great and very kind. Good for a quick stop through town.

We were passing through Memphis Texas after 9 hours of driving when FAT AND HAPPY BBQ was intriduced to us via Yelp recommendations list. My family will support a local business any chance we can and we are so pleased we did. Cheesy mac and cheese, flavorful chopped brisket sandwich and a drink satisfied the hunger deep down below my cavernous pit. A pulled pork sandwich was enjoyed as well. The owner came out of the food truck and we had the pleasure if conveying our joy in eating his bbq. read more

Fat And Happy BBQ - Closed to resupply for dinner rush. Good thing we got our order in before 3 pm. - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Texas

Thanks to Yelp I found this amazing place. The Brisket was so juicy!!! It didn't even need barbecue sauce. Brisket, sausage, macaroni and potato salad were all amazing. And the owner was very hospitable. I will definitely be returning here. Thank you for making me FAT AND HAPPY read more

Fat And Happy BBQ - Juicy brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Texas

Went to visit my mom and got 4 fish plates. It was very delicious! Would recommend!! I will definitely eat there again when I come back to Memphis. read more

The food is great and served fast, hot and fresh! The service was great too. This is a must place to stop when passing thru Memphis, TX!

This is a food truck. I was glad I stopped. They have a picnic table under shade, where I was able to enjoy my bbq even though it was 95 degrees. The guy was plenty friendly, and I was glad I brought him my business. I prefer my brisket sliced, but all he offers is chopped. But it was close to the best chopped I've had in Texas! The ribs were only so-so. They were well-done and tender, but maybe just over done. Not happy with mac and cheese- cooked way too long, and all mushy. But like I said- a real nice guy, and good brisket. I was glad I stopped! Next time I'll just get a brisket sandwich. read more

My husband and I were traveling round trip from Houston, Tx. to Denver, Co. On the way back home to Houston we were looking for somewhere to grab lunch and we were viewing restaurants coming up near our drive. We saw good reviews for Fat And Happy BBQ in Memphis, Texas and decided to give it a go. What a great BBQ food truck! I had the brisket meal with mac and cheese and greens beans and my husband had the Pulled Pork sandwich with French fries. We devoured everything and shared each other's meal. Crazy delicious! The gentleman who served us was so nice and friendly. Highly recommend if you are passing through. Well worth it! read more

The pulled brisket sandwich was great! Quick fast and super friendly owner. Support small business and don't pass up this delicious food truck. read more

Great food, fast, friendly service. Very generous portions at a reasonable price. The brisket and pork were juicy and tender. Highly recommend when passing through Memphis. read more

Food truck is parked in a parking lot next to a gas station - don't miss driving by it! There are not many options available off the highway besides fast food and we were looking for a 'real dinner.' The BBQ was amazing and some of the best we've had! We had a chopped brisket platter, brisket sandwiches and pork platter (between the 4 of us). Meat was tender with a great smoked bbq flavor and bbq sauce was amazing. Green beans with bacon and seasoned corn hit the spot. Platters are very large and could easily be split between two people. There's a picnic table nearby if you want to sit and eat although ours was packaged up nicely with everything we need to take it to go. (Everyone started eating before I could get pictures of it all.) read more

Absolutely amazing. I got the large brisket sandwich and mac n cheese, and it was just perfect.

I highly recommend this food truck! Catfish basket was definitely worth the 15" wait. Fish was freshly-fried, thick & plentiful. Men in our party gave the bbq & onion rings two thumbs up. Sandwiches were thick & bbq sauce wasn't too sweet. read more

Great BBQ! An easy pull-off on Hwy 287 located right next to the Love's station - easy parking for our truck pulling a travel trailer. Tried both the brisket and the pulled pork - both were good, but we liked the pork best. So tender and juicy. 2 thumbs up for the potato salad (with chopped bacon), and while the flavor of the Mac and cheese was excellent, the macaroni was waaaaaaay overcooked to the point of mushiness. Super fast, friendly service. read more

Food truck that has an amazing chopped brisket sandwich with large portion. Owner was very nice.

We were staying nearby at an AirBnB with family and were planning a little get-together for my son's birthday. I didn't feel like cooking so I was searching for something local that could feed a big group. I found Fat and Happy BBQ online and called to see how much notice they would need to cater a meal for 12. Thankfully they said the next day would be no problem, so I swung by the truck to look at the menu and place my order. I ended up getting 5 pounds of sliced brisket, 12 sausage links, a tray of green beans and a tray of mac and cheese. I picked it up the next day right on time and it was hot and delicious! The brisket was incredibly moist and tender, even the lean pieces, and the crust was perfectly salty and delicious. The sausage was also good and juicy. Sides were equally good - the green beans were amazing! Very flavorful and full of bacon. Mac and cheese was tasty as well with a nice brown cheesy crust on top. We were all pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, and the owner was SUPER friendly and helpful. If you are ever passing through Memphis, TX do not miss this amazing food truck! What a find! read more

Yelp reviews were good for Fat and Happy and that's what my husband was after stopping fir lunch. Generous portions and really good!

WOW! Who would expect to find such a gem as we were driving thru Texas?! Best catfish I've had in YEARS!! Just the right amount of salt, crispy outside, moist inside, cooked to perfection...the hushpuppies were yummy and the fries were absolutely perfect! Simply scrumptious!! We will eat here every chance we get driving thru. Thank you for this simple perfection. read more

Life-alteringly delicious brisket sandwich and super friendly service. If you're in a hurry as your drive through town you can call ahead and pick it up but the food is so yummy you will want to pull over and enjoy it :) read more

Great quality and service! A true hidden gem in the middle of our road trip! Chopped Brisket Plate and Fab Fish Basket!

An oasis amid the food desert! Nowhere but Sonic and McD's in these parts but we stumbled upon this gem driving through town from Dallas to Albuquerque. Brisket platter is awesome!!! He doesn't have Cole slaw but the food is honestly delish without it. Thanks for your awesomeness!! read more

The food was great! The owner sold me one rib to treat my dog. She loved it and doesn't normally like pork. We would absolutely eat here every time, we come back to this town. The macaroni and cheese is the best I've ever had. My husband enjoyed the onion rings. read more

Awesome moist and flavorful and FINELY chopped brisket. Ribs were good too (fall off the bone tender) but I'd say the brisket is the standout. Will get again. Super-nice guy. Definitely recommend you try this food truck. Service is fast and Love's is next door if you need a quick restroom break during your short wait for the food. read more

LOVE the pulled pork. Melts in your mouth. Just passing through town, but really glad we stopped to grab a sandwich. Set up next to the Loves on 287, right at the stop light. $4 for small pulled pork sandwich which was just the right size with plenty of meat. I had mine with just bbq sauce, but there were several add on options. read more

Fat And Happy BBQ - Small pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Texas

We are traveling from Colorado down to Dallas for a medical emergency and we searched for BBQ because after being in Colorado, we needed some Texas. We saw Fat and Happy on the list and decided we would stay hungry an extra hour just to try out this food truck. The ribs were delicious and tender and the sausage was amazing! The brisket is chopped but it has an amazing flavor. My absolute favorite green beans just came out of this food truck! The owner came out to the truck to check on us, he made conversation and then said he would pray for us and we will him too. The owner is a man of faith and the food was amazing! God bless Fat & Happy and if you get a chance, check out the ribs! read more

Stopped by on our way to Dallas. The chopped brisket plate was awesome! The servings were huge and the services was excellent.

Second time to stop traveling through. Just as good as the first time, generous portions of chopped beef with just the right amount of sauce. The potato salad is great also. Very much worth the stop! read more
