    Old, burned french fries

    Fat Andy's used to be my "go to" butger and fries stop because they were so good...until they weren't. The past three visits over the last few months has been unsatisfying. Check your orders before you leave. I did learn to check my orders and caught a wrong order before I left today. Unfortunately I did not check my two orders of french fries. Included here is a photo of my fries orders. Only a few of the fries are edible. The others were burned and barely warm. They had to be tossed. The fries used to be so good. The burgers are smaller also and were cooked very well done today, too done to enjoy. What has happened here?

    The best!

    Made to order,fresh and juicy. Was busy at lunch time with lots of traffic. It's my go to place whenever I come to the beach.

    "Never judge a book by it's cover" My husband and I stopped by Fat Andy's Burger for lunch today. We read all the great reviews and looked forward to supporting this local company. Mike (Andy's brother) was there to help answer our questions about the menu and got right to work putting our lunch together that came out quickly. It didn't disappoint. I had a bunless burger with bacon which was quite tasty with their slaw on top. My husband's DD burger with bacon & cheese was hefty and full of flavor. We loved the hand cut french fries too with the perfect blend of salt and pepper. We'll be back!

    Amazing food! Burger was really juicy and toppings fit very nice with it. Fries were crispy and perfectly salted. The service at this restaurant was also great. Nice servers and quick turn around on orders! Good outside seating area as well. They accepted card, cash, and apple pay. Will be coming back!

    Cheeseburger extra pickles

    Five Guys who? They only had two guys at Fat Andy's and it's twice as good! No frills, just a great burger and fries. Easy on the wallet. When I asked for extra pickles, the grill man understood the assignment!

    I've gone so many times to be disappointed every time because they weren't open. And yes i went early during "open" hours. Today i saw a sign out front that said they moved. Had their burgers once last year... guess that was enough. Sad day.

    Had no fries and only one gal working taking orders and cooking. I ended up leaving without ordering and of course no food.

    Not everyone knows about this place. Keep it that way. One of the best burgers and fries you can find in coastal Carolina.

    Took the Fort Fisher ferry over to Southport for the day, and we stopped in for an early lunch…read more They were not busy yet, which was our plan. Eat first, then do all our walking. We were greeted by very friendly staff that seated us in a back corner. No foot traffic over there. Server came by for drink orders and we had some time to look over the large menu. It is your typical diner food. Big portions and all fresh made. We tried the Henny Penny sandwich with side of fries and the Reuben with side of fries. Chicken was cooked perfectly on this wonderful roll. Looked delicious. The Reuben meat was chopped and mixed with the sauce and sauerkraut. Very easy to eat this way. And I love the marble rye bread. Not sure where they get their bread but both sandwiches were amazing. Fries were hot and crispy too. This is a great spot right in the middle of Southport. When we finished and left, almost every table was full, even outside tables. There are only about 8 tables inside, so when they are busy, I'm sure there is a wait. We will definitely return when in Southport. Give this little place a try. Great food and service right in the heart of Southport. 5 stars

    Good burgers & service, in a great location. Ambience leaves a bit to be desired but overall…read morepositive experience. Prices a little on the high side but average for downtown Southport. A solid choice, especially if with teens or picky eaters.

We have been to the restaurant 6 times over the last several years and our visit in March 2026 and last night, May 15th 2026, has prompted me to lower the rating. First, my wife's shrimp cocktail had not been deveined, for $17 dollars would expect the few shrimp to be pristine and ready to eat. Plus the greens that were under the shrimp were not just wilted but "gooey" like they were past their due date. I had the ribeye and ordered it medium rare. It came out well done without a hint of pink. The chefs potatoes last night were a mashed variety and they were cold and stiff enough to lay brick with. Our server, Richard, was friendly enough but he came to our table a total of 4 times in the 70 minutes we were there. Even if we wanted to communicate about our meals preparation it would require for our service to have been better. The lobster bisque was excellent and my wife had a side of fries that were also good. The ambience is lovely and we like the location, but after two recent visits with really poor food and service, we won't be back. To those about to nosh, you have been warned. Go elsewhere.
