I wish I could give this place zero stars. What was supposed to be a nice family dinner turned into a heartbreaking experience I'll never forget -- and one my children are still trying to make sense of. From the moment we walked in, we were met with cold stares. I tried to brush it off, thinking maybe I was overreacting, but it quickly became clear that we were not welcome. While other tables were greeted warmly and served promptly, we were ignored. After waiting over 20 minutes just for water -- while customers who came in after us were already eating -- I approached a staff member to ask if we could place our order. She looked me up and down and said, "You people always want something for nothing." I was stunned. My children -- just trying to enjoy a meal -- looked up at me confused and afraid. I tried to hold it together, but when another server came by and muttered a slur under her breath loud enough for us to hear, I lost it. My kids started crying, asking why we were being treated that way, and I had no answer for them. We left without eating. No family, no person, should ever be made to feel less than human -- especially not in front of their children. This place needs to be held accountable for the way they treat people. We will never go back, and I'll be telling everyone I know to do the same. read more

We stopped in here on a Thursday at about 4. The staff were all very friendly, the service was great and the beer was cold. That why it gets two stars. The place was very clean but had no personality. My hubby and I both opted to have the Black and Blue Burger, the burger had no flavor and no blacked seasoning on them or if it did you couldn't taste it. The burger patty itself was large and wasn't dried out it just didn't taste like anything but the grill. We both ended up putting mustard on them and that's something you just don't do to a black and blue. Although the service was good, with the boring burger and lack of atmosphere we probably won't invest more time in trying it again. read more

The service here was excellent. Very clean restaurant. Hubby had the shrimp and grits. Not great I had the crab cake dinner Crab cakes were probably cooked from frozen as they were perfect round parties without much crab. Green beans were canned. The fried okra was very good. The coleslaw was also very good. Considering what our other choices were this was probably the best selection. We enjoyed the koi pond read more

Would give negative stars if an option. Nasty food. Horrible service. Would not feed my dog what they brought out.

Between "Wow what the hell was that ?" and WTF Sat at the bar, she was super fast and attentive, we have never been there, needed a few minutes. Got to sample a few drafts of craft beer. No Amstel Light for my man. Settles on Laguana draft. Salad was of good size, crisp. The Kings cut of rib eye we wanted to share, yet waiting over 30 min when they were not that busy. We had to ask about status. Took a bite after cutting away all the fat/grizzle, the meat was toooo tough. Sautéed onions n mushrooms arrived after we have decided to send steak back after 1-2 bites, so not worth it. Bartender got mgr "As long they did not eat it all "was audible from him. Needless to say we had 2 nice cold beers and left. Good luck read more

If it wasn't for needing gas at the Murphy gas station right next store we never would have come here. We were on a road trip and thought a break and a burger sounded great! As we entered the restaurant there were a handful of hostess ready to greet us and seat us. We were brought right to our table and our server came right over. The menu offered a great variety, but we were all set on burgers! As we waited for our food to arrive I did see a plate of cheese fries pass by that looked amazing! The burgers were one of our favorites! They were fresh burgers and seasoned perfectly. We were pretty surprised by the size of the burgers and the generous portion of fries for the price of it all. It was a great roadside stop for our trip and I'm happy we made it. Wish we lived closer. read more

Stopped for lunch as we passed through the city. We were greeted by numerous hostesses, who were very polite and took us straight to our seat. Our waitress, Shenequa, greeted us almost immediately. She was very friendly, and quick to get us anything that we had asked for. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich while my husband ordered the turkey burger. Both were great! We would recommend this restaurant for lunch. read more

Great place to get a break on trips, right off I95 exit. Plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. Menu is mostly pick a protein and 2 sides for $9.99. The fried fish was fresh and cooked perfect. Teriyaki chicken would have been better if it had been marinated instead of poured on sauce. Squash and sweet potato casseroles were tasty. Service was fast and efficient. The koi pond at the entrance is an added treat. read more

En-route on I-95, stopped at this Fat Jack's for lunch. Tried 2 flavors of wings and sweet potato waffle fries. Good stuff. Our server, Tracy, did a great job. Quick seating, efficient ordering, drinks and food accurately delivered with a smile. Plus she hooked us up with some iced teas to go. Thank you! We asked for wings cooked extra crispy, which is precisely how they were delivered. The hot buffalo were sauced generously in what tasted like Texas Pete's. Tasty but unimaginative. The teriyaki were doused in soy sauce. Kind of tasty, but very salty. And not teriyaki-like at all. Still, wings were plump, hot and fresh. Served with bleu cheese for dipping. The sweet potato waffle fries were excellent! A nice thick waffle cut, crisp and sweet, salted just right. Delicious. $21 for 10 wings, fries and a couple of iced teas, so right around what you'd expect. I'd stop back, next time through. read more

Food was above average, nothing good but the only decent spot in an area with nothing going on. Service was sweet and kind, quick and respectful. Ambiance is pretty sterile, but not dirty or cluttered. Just simple. Good place if your driving through read more

Well I was there 45 minutes and i was ignored. We were traveling and excited to try someplace new. BIG MISTAKE!!! We were completely ignored by Jade. We even pointed out to her that we were displeased with our neglect. She didn't seem to care. We paid for our drinks and left. Sure wish we had gotten the opportunity to try the food, but without service, it's impossible to get food. read more

Delicious food and excellent customer service. They even gave us a space to enjoy our meal with our two dogs. Highly recommend.

Ordered takeout so I can't speak to service but the shrimp and grits are amazing. The to go portion I received could easily feed two people. I also ordered a side of sweet potato waffle fries for $4. The portion was small and they were soggy like they had been sitting awhile - even though I tried one as soon as I got into my car. read more

Stopped by while traveling through. Atmosphere is like a fast casual restaurant. Not much ambience or decor. Menus were on pieces of paper. Sandwiches,salads and some entrees. I got the fried shrimp dinner with a salad or coleslaw and a side. I chose salad and baked potato. Husband got the pick 2 seafood dinner-fried shrimp and fried flounder. Both meals you could have it grilled instead. Food was decent but probably wouldn't come back next time we're through the area. read more

Passing through town on our road trip. Stopped off the interstate for dinner. So glad we did! And so glad chose this place! You never know when you're not from the area, but the name alone drew us in. FAT JACK'S. Gotta be good, right? I had the shrimp and grits and my husband had the catfish. The. Best. Shrimp and grits I have ever had. Freshly ground, local grits with a ground sausage gravy and plenty of plump shrimp. My hubby is a fanatic for catfish and hush puppies. He did not have one complaint. I tried the hush puppies. Some of the best i've ever tasted. Our server, DeeDee was such a doll. Sweet and attentive. She recommended the Salted Vanilla Crunch Cake. Told me, "it'll make your tongue slap out your brains!" And she wasn't lying. Hubby had the Chocolate Lovin Spoon Cake. It was very rich and very chocolate-y. So good. Thanks for having us, Jack! DeeDee deserves a raise! read more

My family & I just went here on a Friday evening and it was almost full so we had no wait. The hostess and server were both very polite and in good spirits. The restaurant was very clean and our tables didn't wobble. The seats were comfortable and we weren't so close to the next table that we could hear their conversation. Now for the food. We've always enjoyed the food at Fat Jack's. We've probably been here 5 or 6 times. There's nothing that has need bad. Last night was no exception. Two of us got the ribeye (market price, but very reasonable). They came out perfect. Perfect. Simple salad. Simple baked potato. No frills; it was simply done right. My son had wings (buffalo hot and southern fried) and he said they were great. I'll testify that the two he couldn't finish last night looked very good this afternoon when one of the kids reheated them for lunch. My burger snob eleven year old loved the burger while the remaining two skinny children who could care less about food enjoyed their chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. Some food just tastes better when it's done simpler. Don't get me wrong. This food is anything but basic. I can't wait to go back through Walterboro. read more

Pricing and quality of food does not match ! Charged for food we didn't ask for. Questioned the waitress her answer was that's the way it is. Fat jacks was one of our favorite places. We won't go back read more

We managed to get a drink order completed in 45 minutes. Nuff said

Terrible service and the drinks were horrible ,and when asked to remake it they said their policy was to not take drinks off the bill which was not what we wanted. just a drink that didn't taste like rubbing alcohol. Called the owner to the table to make the drink over and he refused to do that as well, and proceeded to tell us that the bartender had been doing this for a long time and she doesn't make mistakes?? Really? And he didn't want to waste liquor. Well it was still sitting on the table when we left, so either you're gonna give it to someone else or it's being wasted anyway!! Will never go back!! It's a shame that they take advantage of people because they're in a small town!! Don't order drinks be advised!! read more

It is like an old diner from the 70's took over a bright new spot next to a Walmart. Iceberg Lettuce salad with the 2 captain wafers. Sisco shrimp and hush puppies. A restaurant with NO butter in the house?? They served potatoes with a bright yellow margarine. Really over priced They must have a high rent to pay. IDK I don't feel it was worth a stop from I95. read more

Stopped in for lunch while driving up I-95. Conveniently located if you're driving on the iinterstate. Plenty of locals were there enjoying lunch as well. Friendly staff - everyone we encountered was warm and welcoming. Nice vibe and comfortable seating. Our server was quick to greet us, brought our drinks & took our order promptly. In addition to the regular menu, lunch specials were available for $10.99 and included a protein & two sides. Gray got the meatloaf with okra and mac & cheese. The mac and cheese was super dry, but our server promptly & cheerfully replaced it with the requested cheese grits, which were better. The meatloaf was tender & flavorful, and the fried okra, while lacking salt, was well fried and tasty. I had the pork chop with baked sweet potato and green beans. To my surprise, the pork chop was breaded, but it was juicy, well seasoned, and yummy. The green beans and sweet potato were yummy as well. You have your choice of cornbread, hush puppies, or a roll. We both went with the cornbread, which was dense, moist, and on the sweet side. Delicious! Everything arrived fresh and piping hot. I typically salt just about everything, and this was no exception. Except for the pork chop. :-) read more

Quick service, clean restaurant bright and open. Chef salad was large. Plain old iceberg and maybe some cores of romaine with ample toppings, not freshly prepared, more out of a bag from shredded cheddar to bacon bits and the cubed turkey--all highly processed stuff. The creamy Parmesan dressing was good. On the road, so quick stop and refilled the caffeine--good iced tea. Looks like they are good for large groups. read more

Food was good but service was absolutely awful. There were only a few people in the restaurant and the waitresses were all staring at their phones and not paying any attention to anything going on. Hostess had to be told by another staff member to seat us after we were standing up front for a few minutes. Our waitress disappeared for a long time and part of the order was made wrong. Huge disappointment after a long road trip and we were excited to actually try the place. read more

Visited alone, on business & therefore Sat at the bar. Ordered grilled shrimp & a Caesar salad, both of which arrived at basically the same time?, Food was decent, but definitely nothing to write home about. As the bartender was busy talking with regulars, (highly catered to), I had to ask the manager for my bill. He shouted to the bartender to get it for me, which she finally did. I also politely mentioned to the manager that my salad arrived at the same time as my entree? He looked at me as if he could've cared less & returned to talking with his "Regulars". Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere ! Total Joke. read more

Just a quick update! Had lunch here after flying into Walterboro Airport, as I do on a weekly basis. I even try to hit Fat Jacks or Dukes on every visit! Fat Jacks never disappoints!

We were greeted with the sweetest server, Payton. My husband had the fried chicken, fried okra and red rice. He said it all had great flavor. I had the homemade chicken salad on a croissant, with a side salad and Payton recommended the Parmesan Peppercorn dressing, which was fabulous! Super easy access off of the highway 95! read more

We came here on a Motorcycle ride with "Throttle Down" Motorcycle Ministries. FAT Jack's definitely has Great Comfort Food! Well worth the ride there. The food was comforting and great tasting, the location was convenient just off I 95 and Bells Highway in Walterboro, SC. Outside, Fat Jack's has ample parking and lots of outdoor seating options, Inside Fat Jack's the decor was breezy, bright, lots of windows, with big open space seating. We made reservations the day before since our group fluctuates from 16-30 people and on a Sunday afternoon after church seating can be challenging. Once inside, we were immediately greeted by Dave (the host) and our waitress Brandy. Within 10 minutes we were all sipping our drinks while combing through the Menus. Brandy was cordial , attentive, hospitable, and observant. Very helpful and super sweet. She is a gem! The bike ride from Cathedral Church in North Charleston SC to Walterboro,SC on the Bike was an hour and 10 minutes. I did not order an appetizer this time because I don't like to eat a lot of food while ridding. There are times that I am so full that I feel queasy. I fear the "Itis" will either make me fall asleep or fall off the bike from overeating. It wasn't long from the time we ordered until the time we were eating so there was literally not much of a wait time. The kitchen staff and service staff were on point, they didn't miss a beat. We were a large group so to avoid delays, most of us ordered from the daily special menu. I ordered The Teriyaki Grilled Chicken breast paired with a side of Red Rice, a side of Stewed tomatoes and okra and a Corn bread. The red rice was savory, it included peppers, onions, cajun seasonings and bits of smoked sausage. The grilled chicken breast was bursting with flavors as if it was marinated in a sweet & flavorful marinade then seasoned with garlic, pepper, and salt. Every morsel of the grilled chicken breast was Juicy & succulent. The Teriyaki sauce added the eye rolling euphoria to my mouth. The Stewed Tomatoes and Okra were a delicious comfort food combo without the slime. My cornbread was tender, sweet and cakey almost like a delicious homemade cinnamon cake. My food was well plated with beautiful placement of each item without looking thrown together or sloppy. My only complaint is the small portions. My husband ordered the Fried Pork Chop paired with homemade macaroni and cheese, Broccoli & Cheese casserole, and corn bread. The fried pork chop lacked seasoning but it did not take away from the crispiness on the outside and juiciness on the inside. His macaroni and cheese was perfectly cheesey & buttery, without feeling gummy and the browned cheese topping was to die for. His final comfort food side was the Broccoli and Cheese casserole a hearty side dish loaded with cheesey goodness! Delicious!!! Service: 5 Food Taste: 4 Food Presentation: 3 (very small portions) Decor:3 (I love the Koi fish pond outside) Prices:5 Customer Service:5 We opted for the Sweet tea since we were on Motorcycles and had to head back soon. It was overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Fat Jack's to anyone who wants to venture out to Walterboro or if you are on your way back to Charleston from Georgia or Florida and are in need of a sit down meal. Please support this business, I am grateful for the collective teamwork that made this lunch ride a huge success. read more
