This place is my guilty pleasure and I truly believe that they put crack in their food. I'm just joking but there's some kind of addictive substance because it doesn't make sense how good their food is. Probably not the best of you have a coronary condition but I would treat this place like a holiday. I've been here many times for the last two years and I love their burgers I love their tacos and their banana pudding I especially am grateful to God for the hands that have made the pudding. The Decour is more of a food truck style but now indoor seating is available not sure how that works are usually get mine outside as I am accustomed to the food truck style. Highly recommend that you call and order in advance but if you have time to wait it's usually not long during the week I've never attempted to go on the weekend. Some of my favorites are the mac & cheese burger, street tacos and a Thanksgiving specialty burrito. Every month they have a specialty item and it seems like a family run business. I'm all about supporting small businesses and especially those that do such an excellent job. I do not know these people personally and I'm not paid to write this review. The food is just that damn good. They have a wide righty catering to vegans and meat lovers. I totally recommend this business their customer service is stellar other Decour is kind a hard to describe, it's very eccentric but I love it. read more

Amazing customer service and amazing food!! 10/10 recommend coming here. Got the southwest burger and it hit different. Would totally come back! read more

Solid place with pretty good food. Unique burritos carry this place above the rest, but a wierd location and lacking staff put this place below 5 stars. Also be prepared for high prices for the quality of the food. read more

Driven past this place many times and seen lots of people but never tried as I'm a little cautious of these types of roadside eateries. Upon recommendation of a friend who ate here recently, we decided to take the plunge and I'm happy to report I was pleasantly surprised. You order outside at the yellow shack and then have the option to eat outside at the picnic tables or inside at their freshly decorated seating area next door. Love the artsy feel and bright colors. We opted for inside due to the cold weather. My wife ordered their Mac and cheese burger and I ordered their pork belly burger. It took a few minutes as they prepare everything fresh when you order. A few minutes later they brought our food steaming hot. The first thing we noticed was the enormous portions. What we should have done was order one burger and shared. It took both my hands to get a grip on this thing and it was difficult to open my mouth wide enough to take a bite. Somehow I managed to take a bite and I could taste the freshness of the vegetables and the tasty meaty goodness that only burgers off a flat grill can give. But for me, the piece de resistance was the pork belly on top. Tender, juicy and even more meaty goodness than the burger patties. Throw in the crispy fries and you have a gut busting meal. Can't see how anyone could walk away hungry. I was completely satisfied and I could only eat half. Extra large portions aside, I was impressed with the quality and gourmet burger taste. They are in the same class as Tremont Tavern, Urban Stack and few other notables around this area. Maybe even better. I'll be back again to narrow down this burger competition... read more

Fatboy burrito was very good. Could use a little more sauce but very good. Brisket tacos were just ehh. Would not recommend those but definitely recommend the burrito read more

Just tell yourself when you eat here that there are no calories in the food. This place is worth splurging on your diet. The food is amazing. I have not been since they've changed locations. I haven't had anything here that I have not like. read more

The experience I had before when I gave them 2 stars was a fluke. Great food, unique variety at times, which I love. They have my heart. read more

Great food and fries! Love all the vegan options, surprised that there was an entire vegetatrian/vegan menu and happy to enjoy . Will be back! read more

We have eaten at Fat Boys multiple times before they moved to their newest location and had positive experiences! Tonight we went and the food was not great, tater tots were in crumbles, and marinara sauce was growing mold! We didn't even finish our meals as we were so grossed out. An unkempt man literally walked in from outside with a phone in his hand, got our food from the window and brought it out to our table without washing his hands, wearing gloves or using hand sanitizer. In fact, no one in the front was washing hands or using hand sanitizer between touching money, cards, dirty dishes or the TRASH CAN before grabbing plates of food to give to customers. So much cross contamination and just nasty. We will NOT be back!! They did refund our money but that does not make up for the severe health violations. read more

I have heard and heard about this place for a long time and thought. It's time!!!! We pulled up and walked inside the shop.... it was set up kind of odd with no place to order, so we went outside to the food truck. I ordered a pork belly burger, onion rings, and southwest egg rolls. We went back in the shop to sit and fill our drinks. The unsweetened tea was gross, and the lemonade was just water with a little lemon, not what I expected. I was a little frustrated, but was so hungry I just wanted to eat. I was a little nervous as the entire place is decorated like a bible study room for kids. It was cute, but odd. Then I got the food. The pork belly burger is the best pork belly I have had since being in japan. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The burger was bigger than my hand and it was full of all the right flavors. The other two side were crispy and delicious. This is the best food I have had in weeks. I forgot where I was and honestly didn't care what was on the walls or what I was drinking. Honestly I didn't care if I had a drink. This food is AMAZING and I recommend coming in ASAP!!!!! read more

Me and my wife ordered the Philly Cheese Steak with the tater tots because they were out of french fries. The sandwich had no green peppers or onions on it. The meat was so salty my wife couldn't even stand it, and she likes salty foods. We may have had a different experience if we ordered something else. We won't be revisiting to find out. read more

We went for lunch and had the place to ourselves. Split the smoked chicken burrito (huge!) and it was delicious! Super friendly staff. Other menu items looked good too. We will be back to try more! read more

The best fried pickles I have ever had. The mango habinero sauce is soooooo good. Staff is super friendly. Get the apple pie egg rolls.

Staffing was like most of the country, they need help. Service was not bad even being short staffed. It was chilly out and indoor seating is limited. Food was not bad but not great either. I would go back, I think with warmer weather the atmosphere could be a lot nicer. read more

This is a cheat meal kinda place. This is the spot to go to when you want to indulge in your appetite's guilty pleasures. This is where you bring your out of town guests to let them EXPERIENCE something, because the food here is an experience. Did I mention, they have a growing VEGAN menu? No frills, not fuss, just straight-up high caloric eats that did not disappoint. You'll see the philly egg rolls are popular, I had them and they were good but there was a gamy taste to their steak, so I didn't really love it as much as I thought I would. Only regret is, I wish I took a picture AND I wish I didn't need to consider my arteries' future! Try it people, just to say you have! read more

I'll be the first to admit I'm a picky person, but this was one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. My first time there so I thought I'd try the nachos and potato skins with bbq. A big plate of cold chips with lukewarm tasteless chili and some whole kernel corn dumped on it. Then covered with cold cheese that had no signs of melting. It was bad.... then those potato skins looked dried up and old. spoonful of what tasted like can bbq meat. some more cold cheese on top. Nothing was hot. Barely warm.... nasty. First and last time. read more

I showed up in the middle of the day on a Sunday (posted hours are 12pm-8pm on sundays). The door was lock, but someone opened it long enough to say "We're closed." before immediately shutting it and locking it again. No apologies. No justification. Nothing. Just wasted my time driving there to be treated rudely and sent on my way. I won't be back. read more

Fast and friendly service, big portions and delicious food! We can recommend the brisket tacos, brisket Mac and cheese burrito and the brisket burger. They were all super tasty and made to order. I'm already looking forward to trying everything on the menu...will be back soon! read more

I ordered the fried pickles and the fat boy burrito. The burrito was amazing. It was full of flavor and enough for two people. Portion and price was great. The fried pickles were great as well. The batter was flavorful and crunchy. Service was friendly and quick. I will be coming back when I'm in the area again. read more

I had the vegan chicken quesadilla. It states that it comes with tomatoes and queso but I didn't see or taste either one. The mayo had barely any taste; don't know why it doesn't come with sour cream instead. It came with a tiny cup of salsa for the big quesadilla. The quesadilla was good; it reminded me more of a grilled cheese though. I tasted the chick'n and real cheese taste; I questioned whether it was real cheese or vegan cheese because it tasted like dairy cheese, which is good. It also needs some sauce in it. I'd give it 3 1/2 out of 5 just because it is missing so much and without that wow factor for $11. Vegan Menu read more

Best burger I EVER had!!!!! Not to mention the staff was SUPER friendly and gave off a real down home feel!

Went there today at lunch. The restaurant is VERY loud inside, as were the two who sat behing us. Food was VERY expensive for a roadside dive, and there was no MEAT on the menu, only beans and tofu. Quite creative, just very overpriced. There are a few things for you vegans: crisp fresh lettuce and a very friendly lady at the register. I've been a lot of places and usually can find something to make it worth going back, but I don't think this will be one. Good luck to them! RJ read more

Took a nice drive around town and noticed this spot. Glad we decided to stop instead of going to one of the busy restaurants nearby. All the food is big portions so be prepared to eat. read more

WOW!!! Great food! I was super impressed. I had the double burger and loaded fries! They were great! Wife had Cheese burger and onion rings she loved them. It was more than we could eat. The chef brought us out some of his 12 hour brisket to try and it was so good that even though I love my burger, I'm gonna get the brisket next round! Just small family business trying to make a go of it. Visit if you can you certainly won't regret it! read more

Ummm wow...I wasn't expecting that. I've passed this place soooooo many times and never thought to stop and try it. It looks like a food truck next to a strip of businesses. Initially it looks like they only have seating outside and I just assumed they wouldn't have any vegetarian options, but I was wrong. They have multiple vegetarian options including a veggie burger, a veggie chicken wrap, and I believe tacos as well. We called our order in so it would be ready by the time we got there and it was. When I went to pay, I realized they had sides like onion rings, sweet potato fries, etc. and I couldn't resist. So I ordered a side of onion rings for $3.26 (tax included). The onion rings were okay, I probably won't get them next time. However, their veggie chicken wrap was bomb! They use the morning star chicken patties and it is delicious. They are pretty heavy handed on the cheese and I ended up picking most of the cheese out because it was a bit much. Also this wrap is HUGE!!! If I had known how big it was I also would've skipped the side order of onion rings. There is a lot of tortilla and I ended up tossing most of the tortilla cause I knew I wouldn't finish the delicious awaiting inside the wrap and well I didn't want to waste the onion rings either. The second thing I was wrong about was the seating. While they do have outside seating, they also have seating inside. Since it was a little chilly outside we opted for the inside option. Anyway, this place is good. I probably won't be going frequently because the food is massive and it is a little out of the way for me. But it is definitely worth a try. read more

I hate to admit, I live right down the road from this establishment, but have never ordered from here, I was craving some chili on my way home from work, I am vegetarian, and I could only think of one place in my area who has it, but I remembered someone had mentioned Fat Boys had it. So, I decided to give it a try, I was not disappointed, the chili was excellent! It wasn't your average all bean veggie chili, it had a great flavor, onions, peppers, lots of beans! I will definitely be back! read more

Much of the online menu has been discontinued. When calling in you're put on hold for an extended period of time only to be told much of the online menu is no longer available. Terrible service! read more

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious and they had vegan and gluten free options. Also the staff was friendly and we got our food pretty quick. read more

I've been dying to try an impossible burger for a while now. My husband and I were looking for something different for a date night, and he found this place had the Impossible Burger. We took a chance and drove down. So glad we did. Husband said it was like something you would see on Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives, and he was so right!! Its sort of an off beat/whole in the wall kind of place that gets everything not just right, but amazing! They have a ton of vegetarian and vegan options which was a great thing for me! They even ask when you order an impossible burger if you want it vegan or vegetarian!! Around here, that kind of question is like gold to me. He tried the brisket burger and said it was awesome. I had the impossible burger. I was a little unsure of the pattie itself at first having not eaten meat in many years, but after a couple of bites, I decided it was great. At first, we both thought the fries could have been a slightly larger portion, mainly because they are awesome, but after eating the burgers, any more would have been too much. Great bun, great toppings, they just get it all perfect. read more

I had the double bacon cheese burger at the beginning of last week, it was so big I couldn't finish it! FOUR hamburger patties and all the bacon you could possibly eat. My coworker totally tricked me and ordered me a veggie burger on Sunday... I didn't even know the difference. Veggie burgers are normally terrible and tasteless in my opinion, NOT THESE. Chicken quesadillas here are good too. Although, I'd have to say that the fries are my favorite. I'm waiting on them to open so I can order my lunch. read more

Extremely rude. You shouldn't whistle at your customer like a dog when their order is up.

This place is all you need in life! Fat Boy's is THEE spot to satisfy all of your complex cravings! Sad to say that only now I'm posting a review, considering that I've been here many times before. Regardless, I have loved coming to Fay Boys because of their insane, and insanely good menu. I usually get the brisket or street tacos with a side, which is enough to feed a hungry man who's been stranded in the desert for months! This is not an exaggeration, simply fact. I cannot stress how many food options there are, and now, they have added vegan food to the menu (which I think is a baller move for a stationary food truck business). As a non-vegetarian, I indulged this week in the brisket tacos with a side of fried okra. The photos do it no justice! The meat on the tacos was tender and juicy, topped with shredded cheese and lime juice, these tacos were mouth watering. The fried okra was just the cherry on top!!! During the summer and warmer months, I recommend eating outside on their new-and-improved patio. Let the sun rays shine on you while you bite into a new food creation that only your mind could have concocted. You will be greeted by friendly people who do their best to provide you exceptional food, at an exceptional price, and at in an exceptional time. 10/10 would recommend! Have I told you that I love this place...? lol read more

I MISS FAT BOY'S! I believe they suffered severe tornado damage and are not yet back open? That makes me sad because after being back in Chattanooga for 1 year, Fat Boy's is my favorite burger in town. They do several other things very well, just a fun menu all around and I have not had 1 thing here that I didn't love. I hope they come back with a little more to offer in the way of seating and ambiance because they do everything else right. read more

Wow!! Just go!! We ordered several things to try it out and we were not disappointed by anything. The wait time was less than quoted to us, it just was rather cold standing outside to order the food. We tried the Egg Rolls -Buffalo, BBQ and Philly. The buffalo didn't have a lot of flavor but that is the only not completely positive thing I can say about those, they were just amazing. The BBQ was my favorite hands down but the husband really liked the Philly. The Thanksgiving Burrito was HUGE and delicious my husband was only able to eat about half of it and then enjoyed it for dinner as well. The Fat Boy SO DELICIOUS!!! I also only got through about half of it cause it was also huge which made it well worth the money. The Kids Mac- I only had a tiny bite and wasn't completely blown away, but my 5 year old ate it without complaint. The fries were also very good. I told my husband I would move to Ooltewah just to be closer to Fat Boys! read more

I came in the big party I was expecting a wait for food. Eventually about 30 minutes in all my friends starting in their food. About 20 minutes after my friends food came out my food came out but it was wrong. They didn't even give me a discount for my inconvenience. read more

We decided to give this place a try, bad decision. We should have left after we were told they were out of half the items on the menu, including drinks but figured we would just have a burger and tacos, again bad decision. The first burger came out after about half an hour, was cold and had fries instead of tots. Fries were cold, very cold. The other 3 orders came out nearly half an hour later, all was cold. We pretty much agreed it was the worst food experience we had ever had. I guess we have something to talk and laugh about for a long time to come. Price was a bit much if the food had been decent but for what we were served it was ridiculous! I would give no stars if it were possible read more

This place was amazing and the food was delicious! We stopped by after a long day of hiking and they were about to close, but they were happy to serve us and everything was soo good! It really hit the spot! We will definitely be going here again when we are in the area!! read more

Everything was definitely frozen and then just reheated. Staff was very welcoming. BuT the food, Not impressed.

Absolutely terrible service. My wife, son and I got to the restaurant at 6:11 put our order in and sat down. My wife got her tacos but my son and I didn't get our food. They finally got my son his food about 20 minutes later and it was wrong and I still hadn't gotten my cheeseburger. After an hour I went up and asked for my money back. There was no one in the kitchen. My wife walked outside and all the cooks were outside smoking a cigarette. If I could give this place zero stars I would. read more

The food sounded good based on what was on the menu but it didn't taste that great. I took a few bites of my burrito, no flavor. It was disappointing. Staff was friendly though. read more
