    Little Mo 's Burger with fries
    Sidra S.

    I just moved to Nashville and this place is truly a hole in the wall gem. I love how everything from their burgers, fries, to milkshake was just FRESH and GOOD. The service was an understatement of spectacular. I'll gladly be back

    Cheeseburger and fries

    Fat Mo's came in handy to fill me up on a Friday night. I love a good, oversized burger and Fat Mo's delivered! When I pulled up to the drive through, a young guy came out into the cold to take my order. I ordered a cheeseburger with no pickles and fries. When I got to the window, he was back inside to take my payment and hand me my food. You have to wait a little bit for your food, but that's because the food is made to order, so I didn't mind the wait. I've been to several locations around Nashville and each have been consistently good!

    I have eaten at the East Nashville Fat Mo's location before and enjoyed the food. I moved to the south side recently and wanted to try this location. Every time I drove by it it always looked super run down and sketch. I hate judging a book by its cover though, so I went into it with an open mind. The drive through is very tight and difficult to navigate coming from the south on Franklin Rd. I recommend overshooting the property and turning into the mapco instead then going to the drive through. I was waiting behind about three cars for a very long time, but they make everything fresh (as it says on the menu) so I expected a wait. An older woman came out with a notepad and took my order while I was still behind the cars. This was pretty nice and convenient. Me and my son both got the same thing. A Fat Mo burger, fries and a drink. I looked at the menu and was doing calculations in my head, expecting it to be in the neighborhood of maybe $13-15 I finally get to the window where a younger woman verifies the order. The order ended up being $19.46 I paid it. An itemized receipt was not available (it may have been, but I didn't press the issue and didn't ask for one), but the drinks they gave me were massive. They were at least 32 oz. So maybe they helped themselves and upgraded my drink to a XL but I don't know. The food was plentiful, but probably not worth $19.46 The fries were said to have seasoning salt in them. They were pretty bland. The burger had a good taste to it, but it wasn't phenomenal. The bun was toasted but it seemed like it was toasted too much. It was kinda dry. I understand the reasoning. But the burger wasn't juicy enough to soak into the dry bread. Overall verdict: its decent but there are a lot of hidden fees or charges that may have been added. I started reading the yelp reviews while I was in the drive through line and others have said this location is notorious to charge for condiments. When I got to the window they asked me "Do you want ketchup?" I promptly said no. LOL

    That may as well be wrapping paper, because the burger is a gift. That thing is amazing. Fries are good too

    Uhhh, the appearance of the place can be a little off putting, but MANNNNN, that burger is good. It's one of the best burgers I have ever had. Do not allow the building to scare you off. Fries were well done. Plus, the sweet tea was top notch. That part means a lot to me because I can not get good sweet tea in philly. But that burger, in a word....AMAZING. Its more than belly full. Great all the way around

    Oh Fat Mo's... I wanted to love you so badly. But, as I lay curled in my bed with a massive stomach ache, I do not love you. When my roommate and I drove up to the shack, I said this will either be the best burger I've ever had or give me food poisoning. I'm sad to report it's closer to the latter. I got a Fat Mo's burger which isn't even their largest burger OR second largest. I order it as a plain cheeseburger and a small chocolate shake as well. The burger was massive and decent, but not spectacular. The chocolate shake was pretty good. Hopefully i just caught them on an off night, but unfortunately I will not be returning.

    No frills. Blink and you'll miss it. No really, I don't think there's a sign. Looks shabby on the outside but has family feel, and a lot of charm. The workers are very sweet, and the food is very good. You can't beat it for the money. I'm picky about hotdogs but the split dog they gave me was great. Burger was cooked perfect, fries were decent. I loved the breaded chicken wings. Although a few were small, they are worth the price. The spice in the breading is amazing. I can't wait to go back and support this business.

    Like most of the other reviews say, don't let the outside fool you! Simple review! Go for it!!! We drove up and were very quickly waited on. We had two fantastic burgers, fries and Pepsi from here. Service was excellent and super friendly. Looking for burgers and fries, can't beat Fatmos!

    Little Mo 's Burger with bbq bacon jalapeños cheese and spicy fries

    Fat Mo's is in an unassuming little freestanding building at the furthest edge of the Melrose district. Honestly, it doesn't look like the type of place you'd want to eat, but don't be fooled. This diamond in the rough has been featured on the Food Network and makes a mean burger for next to nothing. Once you figure out the weird double drive through or walk up window ( no speaker, just a menu board to look at, and someone comes out to take your order if there is a line) you can select your burger with a number of available toppings. All the burgers are seasoned and surprisingly not greasy

    Mmmm mmmm. Fat Mo's is the place to go when you have a hanker for a good ole fashioned burger and chocolate shake. The classic American meal is served in all its greasy, delicious glory at this hole-in the-wall. With late night hours Fat Mo's is the perfect place for that late night craving. It is strictly a drive thru restaurant, so keep that in mind if you prefer sit-down places. Service is always very quick, and the food is always hot and tasty. My go-to order is the 1/4 pound burger, seasoned fries, and a chocolate malt milkshake. So dang good.

    Fat Mo's  I came here for the burger with Iranian Juice on it.  But apparently this has changed hands, they don't offer it.

    Wasn't what I remembered from my college days. Meat was ok, but it's a meat burger. Toppings were sparse.

It was walking distance from our hotel and a couple of blocks to Broadway so great location. I chose the halibut and it was delicious. It was tender inside but had a nice sauted crisp on the outside. Unfortunately, I did not like the veggies that came with it and I pretty much love all veggies. It was listed as summer squash escabeche. Not something for my palate in taste or texture. Husband had the Lumache alla vodka pasta and it was very good. We started with the meatball appetizer. Loved that. We finished with the affogato which is one of my favs.

It was our first time visiting, and we weren't sure where to go. The security guard at the main door was very helpful and pointed us in the right direction. However, when we got upstairs, it was a different story. There was no one there to give us any direction, and we didn't see a sign stating whether we could seat ourselves. The place was a bit busy, but there was a section with about six empty tables. We chose to sit there so we could be near the fan since it was very humid yesterday. No one acknowledged that we had been seated, so when a waiter walked by to clear a table, I asked if it was okay for us to seat ourselves. He said yes, handed us menus, and walked away. No problem--I could tell it was busy and that he was running around, so I took no offense to him walking off. We waited about 10-15 minutes. No one offered us water or came over to greet us. The same waiter I had spoken to returned to our table carrying an empty pitcher, and I greeted him. In response, I got, "You know what you want?" I repeated my greeting, and he repeated his question. Mind you, he never introduced himself, so I have no clue what his name is. The only conversation we had before that was when he confirmed that we could seat ourselves. While I understand being overwhelmed or tired, I can't understand being met with such a rude disposition when I had done nothing to warrant that response. Needless to say, I didn't want someone who found greeting me to be an impossible task handling my food, so we left. He couldn't have cared less that we were leaving. He grabbed his pitcher and walked away before we did. They could have really good food and drinks, but I'll never know. My hope is that this was a one-off situation, but something tells me it's not. There's a bar on the first and fourth floors. The first floor is pretty open with minimal seating, so I'm assuming it's meant for dancing. They also have a live band set up on that floor. Lastly, thank you to the security guard. He was a tall guy with braids, and despite our brief interaction, he was the only person who made us feel welcome. Outside of that interaction, this place was disappointing.
