this place doesn't even deserve one star!! I ran in to use the bathroom and when I asked where it was they said, "restroom is for customers only" and they were dead serious!!! I shouldn't have to pay to pee!! this is America!! come on! and they weren't even nice about it they were very short and rude so if you're on a roadtrip and have to pee don't stop at fat jacks read more

3rd time I've been here & every time the staff is prompt & the food is Great!! The Ribeye is very good & they know how to prepare a steak! If you're in the area check them out. read more

First time coming here, don't think I'll be back. The table was sticky. We were being bothered by flies the whole time. Full time job keeping them off our food. They were out of wings, chicken fingers, okra, fish and more. I was waiting for the waitress to come back and say "sorry, we are out of plates". I ended up just getting a burger. It came out with no lettuce, she wasn't sure why. Bet you can't guess why....yup, they were out of lettuce. And the burger was so dry. I just ate the fries. They did have a clean bathroom which I greatly appreciate. And the waitress was friendly and did keep our drinks constantly filled, so she got a nice tip. read more

We had a nice lunch here! I liked my salmon Caesar salad. The portions are very generous. The patio was really nice to get some fresh air and enjoy. I would for sure recommend it to anyone, esp if you're visiting the EV chargers nearby. read more

The owner of this restaurant is an absolute pig! Turns away customers that spend $100s each week and we're fiercely loyal for parking in the wrong spot. Well consider that money out of your bottom line. Why would anyone want to patronize a place where the owner sits at the door like a troll judging those who come for lunch? The food is mediocre at best and overpriced in comparison. We are locals and will be sure to pass our experience on to all of those we know. Anybody traveling through you're better off going to the Ruby Tuesdays at the next exit!! read more

After dawdling around various food options around Walterboro we stumbled upon Fat Jacks. What a great find! Food is good service is very on par and conscientious.

Service was incredible, and the food was SO GOOD! We're talking about your southern granny's food. I can't wait to go back!

Amazing family owned restaurant. Food is delicious. Jade was such a doll. Thank you.

Stopped here before heading to hotel for overnight on our trek south. Saw good online ratings. It did not disappoint. They had Sam Adams Octberfest, which my husband enjoys. He had the half rack ribs and I had the shrimp platter. The coleslaw side was very good as were the smashed potatoes. The shrimp had a nice light coating. Ribs were tender and bbq sauce was sweet and tasty. Quick friendly service. Immediate seating. Plenty of seating available with several tables for larger groups. Worth checking out. read more

The food was amazing. The service was great. We'd drive the two hours from home to come here again.

Went here while we were traveling through walterboro. It was the only place around by the interstate that was not "fast food" unfortunately the food tasted fast food / frozen and microwaved instead of cooked but had dinning prices and the serves was immature to say the least. Wouldn't recommend for out of towners. Seems like you have to know someone to get decent enough serves. But the food and flavors wasn't there for my family. read more

Came in on a Friday about 4:00 wasn't to busy at all. Was seated about 3-4 minutes later a gentleman was seated next to us. Waitress came over got his drink order. We still haven't been acknowledged. She comes back takes his order still not acknowledged. Another couple seated they had their drink order take and then placed order. We still haven't been acknowledged. We asked hostess who was our waitress, she said she was busy and would be with us shortly... like really ? Waited another 6 minutes and got up to leave a different waitress wished us a good day, we said we weren't served, she asked hostess who sat those folks, the young lady spoke up and said I told them it would be a few minutes. Not to mention manager was standing there didn't say anything. What kind of place is this ? Do locals only get waited on ? Very disappointed Smh read more

Stopped for gas - Fat Jack's next door- took a chance. Very pleasantly surprised. Great food and excellent service. I had Chef's salad and my wife had chicken salad on a small house salad. Would be happy to stop again. read more

Hubs & I had a late lunch/early dinner here today. It was our 1st visit, but I'm sure it won't be our last. We enjoyed all of it. We were immediately greeted & seated, then as soon as we sat, our server, Liza, was there to take our drink order. I had a Caesar salad that was nicely cold & crisp with just the right amount of dressing & Parmesan. We had onion straws as a starter. These were thicker than I expected, but still flavorful. Even better, these weren't greasy at all. Sauce was also great. Hubs got the scallops with Cole slaw & smashed potatoes; I got chicken tenders with fries. Mine tasted more like calabash chicken, which is a favorite of mine.l & all of it was very well seasoned. Liza was awesome. She stayed right on top of everything without hovering. Our drinks never ran out & she was prompt with removing empty plates. We were really pleased with our meals & service. I'm sure we'll be returning in the near future. read more

I only had take out so I can only rate the food. The service for take away was quick and easy. The food was horrible. My shrimp and grits looked like sloop(see picture) and was uneatable, Turkey club was sub par while the chicken sandwich was acceptable. read more

Fat Jack's - Shrimp and sloop I mean grits. - Steakhouses Near Me - Walterboro, South Carolina

I received average service and the resturant offered what appeared to be a enjoyable experience. The overall feel of the establishment was nice. I ordered the fried flounder. This order came with a salad and hush puppies. I ordered the loaded smashed potato. The salad was average. The hush puppies and potatoes were excellent. That is where the good tastes ends. The fried flounder was served partially cooked and "mushy". After showing this to the server it was taken back and a new plate was shortly brought back out. The fish looked great. However the fish was still partially mushy and partially rubbery. The server came back to check and after seeing the same results offered no refund to the order. Won't eat there again. read more

I'm just passing through. I'm looking for a good place for dinner. Came across this place. Very good, clean, friendly staff.

Very disappointing! Brown lettuce Sautéed shrimp spicy but not noted on menu People were sitting outside on chilly night, and waitress was in and out. Constant blast of cold air was awful Did they tell us when they sat us that the door would be opening? NO Had been there previously, so expected better. We're done! read more

Really great service and the food was delicious and moderately priced. Recommend this place for a fun time.

The waitress staff is okay, but one certain person thinks she runs it, which is a waitress! I think Mr Jack needs to get a handle on it! She even put something in my husband's drink! Have NOT been back and we want! It use to be a great place to go, but it has really gone downhill! read more

Slow marginal service, marginal food especially for the price. Much better choices nearby

I got more than I expected here. We walk up and it doesn't seem like much, let alone a good steakhouse or a place that does steak. I can say the place is unique. It was quiet which for some places isn't the best but it's a small town and not near a major exit. They had Cointreau so I ordered that and a Diet Coke. Which was well mixed. I had the steak, and it was pretty awesome, this coming from someone who has looked up several ways to make the best steak and gets to taste try all that her husband attempts. Good all around, quaint and quiet and pretty unexpected. read more

I ate here while working in the area. We had the cheeseburger and the chicken salad croissant. It was ok, but not spectacular. Not a lot of flavor. The service was good and the waitress was attentive. I might eat here again if in the area,, but I don't enthusiastically endorse it. The patio area was a nice place to sit and eat . read more

I have eaten at this restaurant two times and both times we had good food and excellent service. Great family atmosphere and very clean!

We stopped in to have a bite while traveling from the Blue Ridge Mountains on our way back home to Tampa and were pleasantly surprised with the food and service. We met the owner (Jack) while we were there and he was such a nice guy who clearly seemed to care about his guests experience. When your choices for food in this area are Ruby Tuesday, Waffle House, DQ etc... OR Fat Jacks, to me it's a no brainer! We will stop by here again the next time we are in the area! read more

Came back to visit here back in my hometown. First time being able to sit down and eat. The food is reasonably priced and the staff is really nice and friendly. The restaurant was clean along with the bathrooms. Food came out right on time. Will visit again to be able to try more food. With the virus, they spread everybody out and sanitize everything. They give you paper menus. I love sweet tea, and they had it made just perfect. It wasn't too sweet or too bitter. Wasn't able to take pictures because the food was too good to stop eating. Fried okra was probably my favorite part. They actually cook them nice and crispy read more

Near 95. We had shrimp & grits and fried scallops and catfish. Food was better than expected. Place was clean and waitress was friendly read more

A quick stop for dinner on our way to Charlotte, we found Fat Jack's. Driving from Ft. Lauderdale to Charlotte wanted a decent dinner before we stopped in Charlotte. About 3 hours south east of Charlotte Yelp and its reviewers gave Fat Jack's a very good review. They were right. We had the Shrimp Jammers for a starter and two burgers for dinner. Food was excellent the service was prompt. Fat Jack's was exactly what we were looking for read more

Good food prepared exactly as requested. We were traveling through the area and this is a good choice for something when you're not interested in fast food options in the area. Good service by Liza. read more

Great service. My fried catfish and grilled shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly. No complaints here.

Go to I HOP!!!!! Wings had feathers and i ordered my sandwich without mushrooms and they were on their! Manager was arrogant! We are locals and decided to try it, We will not be back! read more

We saw this place off the highway and decided to give it a chance. I am glad we did. Service was fast, clean bathrooms, friendly waiters. A tad pricy but good portions. Would eat here again. read more

I tried Fat Jacks today while in Walterboro, SC. The hostess and waitstaff were very good. For appetizers we had southwest roll which was tasty with a nice dip. We also had catfish bite which come with cocktail and tarter sauce. The portions we quite large. I ordered crab cakes which were cold when I took my first bite. My dudes were okra and potato salad which I enjoyed. My partner had grilled chicken Caesar Salad which she enjoyed. Again large portions and more went home than was eaten in the restaurant. As a former chef and college foodservice professor I must say from a taste perspective all was good. But the cold crab cakes put a damper on things. I packed up the leftovers and decided I would reheat everything in my home kitchen at a later time. At the end the waitress asked if we would like a beverage to go which we declined. As previously stated service was excellent it was a friendly happy atmosphere. Would I return probably not anytime soon!!! read more

Ok. Nothing special. All the food seemed to be frozen and the price isn't accommodating to the quality. We won't be back.

Terrific catfish and the best crunchy cake dessert possible. 5 stars!!! Highly recommend from a visiting Virginian

My family stopped here as we were going through town. I will start by saying my waitress was very kind . I gave her my to go order ( my family and dog was in the car), I give her my money and then realize I was charged way more then I was supposed to be. When I ask the young lady for the receipt I relive I was charged $15 for 1 grilled chicken breast for my dog. After 20 mins of waiting (remember my family is still waiting in the car)I get my food. I look in the bag and my sons cheese sticks are missing. I'm a little irritated but hey at least I got our dinner so we can continue our trip when I open my meal, I got a ceaser salad with blackened chicken. My lettuce was so wilted and warm and my chicken was raw. Needless to say I threw it away and went over to zaxbys fast food. I will also add that my husbands fries were ice cold. Never Again!! read more

This was all you could ask for in a restaurant of this type and just off the interstate. They have patio seating that is pet friendly. Service was good and food portions were plentiful with good variety for making choices. read more

10/16/2020 Was looking for a casual place to eat as we were just passing thru Walterboro that night. Food: was good. We each had the chicken strips dinner which came with a salad & one side. We each had the caesar salad. My husband had the Jack's fries, nothing special, I had the smashed potatoes. The dinner came with 5 good size chicken strips. Location: the restaurant was located on an out parcel of a shopping center. We sat on the patio. It seems everyone with a noisy pickup truck went by that night. It was very distracting. Staff: The service was good. The trainee we had was very attentive. BUT everyone needed a lesson in proper mask wearing. Our waitress thought she needed to take hers down every time she talked to us. Most of the rest of the staff wore them on their chins. They did not practice social distancing among themselves after they removed their masks and congregated near the hostess station to talk. I would try Fat Jack's again after the Covid-19 vaccine has been made available . read more

When it's good, it's good. But when it's not, well... I live literally down the road from this place. We used to go frequently, but cut back due to the inconsistency. Sometimes when you go, the food is great, service is great, atmosphere is great. Other times, the food is cold and the service is subpar. I used to really enjoy their chicken wings. They were always crispy and didn't hold back on the dressing. But sometimes they're slimy on the inside, the skin isn't crisp at all, and you have to ask for extra sauce. I don't particulary enjoy playing guessing games, especially with my dinner, so 3 stars is the best I got.. read more

Run-of-the-mill American food. Extra star because the fried catfish was excellent. Salad and sides were unexciting, but they were open when we needed a place to eat. Service was very courteous. Prices were what you'd expect. read more
