Super duper! Shelby took such good care of us! Sometimes, it's all about the bartender, especially during football season. All beers were filled, she doesn't even care who wins, she just wants to fill your cup and make you smile. Such a great vibe. (Context: I read my book while my husband yells at the screen, it fulfills all niches.) read more

Fat Harry's would be the ideal neighborhood sports tavern if it didn't hire Mets fans to sling drinks. Kidding. The bartenders are great, baseball allegiances aside. The atmosphere too. The clientele comes from all walks--from college kids to middle aged business men to the Golden Girls generation. Furthermore, the chow is phenomenal. Fat Harry's wings can compete with any in the city, and the Korean fried chicken sandwich is clucking amazing (unlike the stupid Mets). Go Phillies. read more

Our son had a health scare while at Fat Harry's. He lost conscious and in a desperate attempt to get help, my husband ran to the back kitchen window begging for a soda or a few fries to try to get his blood sugar back up. He was greeted with the most horrific lack of humanitarianism where the cook told my husband to FUCK OFF AND GO ORDER AT THE BAR." Thank God a patron saw what was happening and rushed over with a soda and some of his own fries to help. Needless to say, we will never go or recommend this place to anyone. I hope no one has an emergency there because you will likely be told to "Fuck off and go order from the bar!" apparently that protocol is more important than helping in an emergency! DISGUSTING HUMANS! read more

The best friendly neighborhood bar there is! To just hanging out and having drinks to placing to go orders more time than I can count. Fat Harry's is the friendliest neighborhood bar you could want to visit. Friendly from the moment you walk in. Beers, liquor, wine, everything you could want on top of a delicious food menu - give them a chance. You won't be disappointed. My favorite neighborhood bar. read more

Fat Harry's is a godsend for much of the year! 1. Right off the streetcar line, so it's an easy stop. Also lots of street parking nearby, so it's easy enough to drive there (season dependent) 2. At the corner towards the beginning of the parade route. Great place to get a wrist band to during Mardi Gras and go in for a drink or a rest stop. 3. The bar food is pretty solid. Nothing fancy, but it's flavorful and a good amount for the cost. You can't go wrong. 4. Trivia Night! So much fun to go for trivia and win illustrious prizes. Lots of reasons to go in, even more to return. Great staff, great fun! read more

Great sports bar on St. Charles in uptown. Staff is very friendly and they have pretty good food. The sliders are very good, especially the skirt steak. It's just a good neighborhood bar to stop and watch a game or grab a quick bite. read more

Fat Harry's - Classic Slider and Skirt Steak Slider both very good - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Bar/pub food and drink don't get any better than this long-time New Orleans fixture that has survived hurricanes, floods, and Covid with style and grace. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the alcoholic beverages. I have been there many times and always leave with a smile. Highly recommend to visitors and town folk alike! read more

Great place to watch the Buffalo Bills game! (Even though there is no Buffalo Bills decor on walls there were at least 150 Bills fans) Upon entering the bar it looks small but when you go in there is actually a back room that has a lot more space and TVs. The bartenders are awesome! Food I had the chicken and pickle sliders they were ok the chicken was a bit smaller then the bun ( I took the top bun off and it was better) We also had the quesadilla it was so super greasy we didn't finish it. I would definitely recommend going in for a beer or drinks. read more

My favorite Monday special. Half off pitchers and wings at Fat Harry's. Sorry for the terrible photos but I was having such an amazing time documenting came secondary. The classic buffalo is good but the Korean wings have a special place in my heart, a very wonderful and unique wing sauce. Other menu items are good too, great all around bar food with a diverse menu. I feel like it's rare a bar even has pitchers let alone a night with a pitcher special, good selection of drafts, the big names but also a good combination of ipas and sours; local, regional, and national craft breweries. read more

For a sports bar, this place is literally ideal! Great divey ambiance with tons of TVs, and they blast the main game audio do you know what's going on and can really get into it. Pls ty of searing and several bartenders. You order from the bar and take a number to your table if you order food-which is awesome by the way and highly recommend! We went for Monday night football and I will say the specials are clutch. Cheap pitchers, we got a pitcher (4 full pint glasses) of Abita amber for $6.75 (less than $2 a beer?!) For food, we got the wedge salad which was yummy and fresh with huge pieces of freshly cooked bacon pieces, and fried pickle chips to start (delish and tangy). Then we got the wings ($10 for 10 or $20 for 20 - favorite sauce was chef's special which was a bbq/Buffalo combo), and the slider combo with chips (fat's double was an awesome juicy cheesy mini double cheeseburger, the Korean chicken wasn't my favorite, and the chips while good were super thin so would prob just get the fries next time). Overall, great place for a casual day/evening and especially for watching sports. Will be back! read more

Fat Harry's has an outdoor area if you have a dog (with TV) but the inside is not dog friendly.

Thank Christ, appearently all those assholes from 2021 have been fired. I rolled into Fat Harry's tonight for dinner and was delighted to hear some genuinely kick ass music from the 1970s and 1980s including Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel and The Allman Brothers. The food was great. It was a Tuesday, so domestic beers were just $2.00. The place was packed with fellow locals; there were tables of people in the back, playing cards. Oh, and everyone was singing along to the music. Seriously. I left a fat 20% tip for the bartender. I will be back often. Likely the shitheads who used to work there have found new careers with one of the airlines or working at the DMV. read more

My boss wanted to go here while we were in NOLA and I'm thinking to myself "all the great food in this state and you want wings?". Well, these wings were amazing and well worth the visit. Place was clean, staff was friendly and the wings were tops!! I'll be back, great place!! read more

We came to Fat Harry's on the 4th of July as one of the only places that was open. We came during the Bud Light pitcher happy hour and also ordered food. Between us, we tried a bunch of things- cheese fries, corn dogs, sliders, chicken BLTs, and a burger. Honestly the highlight of mine was the homemade Bleu cheese and pitchers. We went with four starts because the food all came out at once and the bacon had an odd color to it. Overall, the food was fairly cheap and so were the drinks. It's a good spot to hit when you're in the market for bar food and an easy place to chill. It was fairly quiet and low key through the whole experience! Definitely will be back. read more

The wings are just how I like them, naked and extra crispy. They are simple buffalo wings, but highly recommended. Great selection of local beers on tap. Great atmosphere of local young and old. Yeet. read more

Fat Harry's - High noon - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Grill closes at midnight. Bar tender was very apologetic, but I'm starving for late night eats. read more

Probably the worst bar meal I've ever had. Ordered to go, and usually if the bar is backed up, I'd figured they would say we aren't taking orders right now or it would be a long wait. No, she took my order and told me 20 mins. I got there exactly at 20 mins and proceeded to wait for another 20 mins. I swear they just took the fried pickles (and the oil it was fried in) and dumped it into the to-go container. The chicken sandwich was dry and our fries were freezing. I usually never give out bad bad reviews but even the service was poor. I had four boxes and she told me i had to take it like this because she didn't have bags. I know times are tough but they also had a FULL house. I rather them not take my order they make a poor one. read more

One of our favorite dive bars in New Orleans. Even during the pandemic, FH's is a cool spot. Can't sit at the bar, but they have plenty of tables inside, and there's outdoor seating right on St. Charles. read more

Shout out to Fat Harry's for all the love at parade time. So nice to get inside when it rains and have a bathroom( no portalets!) to use. They run a tight ship and it is always easy to get in and out. Got the bar down to a fine art. Never have to wait long for a refreshment. Don't forget to go in the back and get delicious parade food. Always our go to at Mardi Gras time. read more

There was a football game in when I went, and it was very crowded. The wings were ok, but it took over half an hour to get an order to go.

The fry cook has a terrible attitude towards customers. And the bartenders will literally overcharge if they can get away with it. Worst experience I've ever had. read more

Fat Harry's - oysters being cooked on a grill - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

For me to be writing this 1000 word essay on this beautiful Monday and being from New Orleans i must really feel some type of way about the shitty experience i had on Sunday. I have been to Fat Harry's many of times for a quick togo drink and never had a problem but yesterday (10/11) took the cake. We entered around 6pm and waited to be seated like the sign says. As we stood there a male bartender and female server looked at us and continued doing whatever task they was doing and finally came over. I was a little annoyed about how long it took to be acknowledged but its a bar that i have been to before and just took this incident for face value. The server told us to sit where ever we liked. I didn't want to take up the last 6top so we sat at the last 2top that was in a awkward spot. We eventually just moved to the side room that was empty but at least we had a huge projector screen to ourselves to watch part of the NBA finals. Another female server (thin with glasses) came over and took our drink order and delivered the drinks promptly. I asked for a menu but Fat Harry's is doing the QR code. After waiting 10-15 mins and no one came by my cousin asked where the server was so we could order food but i told him she's coming just give her some time. Side note: Im a server that has been in the Nola hospitality industry for over 10 years... I will always look the other way and take up for my fellow comrades no matter what because its in my blood. After waiting another 5 or so mins i finally got up and looked for someone. I saw some guy that looked like the manager sitting talking to our server ( her backed was towards me). I waived slowly to get his attention and he just slowly waived back. YEET!. I wasnt expecting that, it caught me off guard and it just got awkward real quick. As i walked away i heard him tell someone to come over to the table but at this point i was just ready to go somewhere else. The bartender came over and i just asked for the check. He tried to make small talk to get a feel for the situation but i wasnt working. The bill was $9.50 for two drinks and i wanted to not leave a tip but i couldnt... not even on my worst day so i left $1.50. As we walked out someone yelled "yall leaving? I guess im going to be the only black person in here.".......................... ................. .............. .... I *think* it was the bartender who said it, i never looked back to see who it was. It was also weird because we was the only African Americans in the establishment besides the cook. This situation just left a sour taste in my mouth and i will never come back because we have too many bars in Nola to deal with bs. Ill also post this on my facebook page and tell my friends to share it to make sure they put this current staff on notice. read more

One of the best burgers in New Orleans! Great selection of beers, too. If you're looking for "atmosphere", this ain't the place. But tie burgers AND the fries are fabulous! read more

Best wings in NOLA. Service is pretty good and bartenders are attentive. It's got a cool dive bar feel to it and is great for watching sports events. Only thing I subtracted a star for is that sometimes it smells and looks gross in there, like spilled sticky drinks/beer that weren't cleaned up or something. read more

Yay for Fat Harry's for feeding Touro's ICU while we are overwhelmed during this pandemic. Thank you so much for your support and love. Great jambalaya! read more

Wings were great. Good crispy outside but not overcooked. Burger was a bit over cooked but the flavor was solid. Chicken slider was decent as well. read more

Awesome atmosphere, great place to watch a game, and the burgers are awesome!! First time here but definitely will be back.

Wings were underwhelming. Well-cooked. Crispy on the outside and nice and tender on the inside. Not even close to spicy enough though, and I ordered buffalo as the sauce. Blue cheese and ranch both were quite watery as well Decent prices for beer $11 bud light pitcher on a Thursday night. Large venue and good spot to watch sports. Some limited outdoor seating read more

Here we definitely have a college bar. So you know what's coming next: it's definitely not going to ever be a part of the Joi B bar crawl. BUT! It is a notch above the TJ Quills of the college bar mundo. Let's rewind, oh, five years (or maybe more, sigh) back to when I was a Midori sour-drinking college girl, I'd totally bring my parents here to drink with me. I realize the fact that I was once the type who ordered Midori sours may give you pause, 'specially if you read about all my fancy cocktail drinking ways, but it's true. We can't all be *born* with good taste. I was once an NYU girl (which is probably similar to a Tulane girl, only with a snottier attitude and a penchant for staying out all night in underground nightclubs) and wet behind the ears. You couldn't order wine coolers in bars back in those days, so... Midori. And Fuzzy Navels. God help me. OK that's quite enough stumbling down memory lane. Getting back to the compliment I'm trying to give Fat Harry's, grown-ups can and do seem to rub elbows with the young 'uns here. And it's not weird. I saw folks of all ages and those who seemed to be parental types, hanging out and having a good time. The ambiance: TVs everywhere, wood paneling, basic basic. Nice front patio, though. Nothing memorable. But it's clean. And not full of classless dolts taking a piss with the door open, so at least there's that! read more

Fat Harry's was one of the first bars I got a drink at, underage, a long time ago during Mardi Gras. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, 'cause I heard they'd get me drunk...ended up drinking two and falling through the seats where the booth ends and the next one begins... Fast forward to now and after the fire renovations, I still have friends that like to head over to Fat's for a couple of drinks. I miss the old booths because you could hide in them and have a little of your own space. The bouncers are always nice, and sometimes I enjoy watching the underage girls stomp and throw fits around them when they're fakes aren't accepted. The crowd is mostly younger college kids just going to have a drink and meet up though you'll get the occasional group of late 20-early 30somethings and a couple or two in their 40s remembering the days of yore at Fat's. I know I go to a lot of bars with a younger crowd, so it's judge-y for me to call Fat's out for it, but there's no dancing and I don't get cheap drinks, so it's hard for me to stick around Fat's too long though some nights, it works. There cheese fries weren't anything to write home about, but their wings are pretty tasty! If you've got a krewe and you're in the area, grab a seat out front, enjoy a couple of beers and watch the streetcars go by. read more

Fat Harry's has been around for as long as I can remember and it looks wonder after the fire. I can remember passing by this place as a student at De La Salle thinking, I can't wait I until I'm old enough to get into that place. Well I went to Howard in DC and found an alternative watering hole but Fat Harry's is a college bar and it's the place to be for parades. This is really nice bar. The drinks I had were great and the prices were reasonable. In the back room was a pool table, shuffle board, and video games. They also offer burger, fries and wings. The crowd in the bar tends to be in its early to mid twenties. The bar is large and spacious. read more

Fat Harry's - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Fat Harry's isn't a bad little place. We stopped in here on Lundi Gras after parades. They recently had a fire and redid the entire place, although it really doesn't look all that different to me. By the time we got here, it was pretty empty. I guess the usual crowd had better things to do after the parade. I did have a good time dancing around to the music that was playing. This probably isn't a place I would seek out. From what I remember from years ago it's mostly a college hang out and these days I am just too old to hang out with people under 23 (hair flip). I do hear that their grill is reopening soon, so maybe I will stop in just to see what they offer. read more
