This establishment has definitely declined in the 20+ years I have been in Nashville. Mozzarella sticks tasted freezer burned Onion rings are usually great/ but hard to mess those up. If you crave a quick eat, and want to support local, try it out. But lots of other options that have better food read more

I have always wanted to try this place and I love to try small businesses especially when it comes to burgers. It was good. Not great, but I've certainly had worse. You definitely get a large portion of food. The burger was large and couldn't even finish the fries because I was stuffed. I was excited to find somewhere that still actually did a malt shake. All in all, it's ok. read more

Fat Mo's - Fat Mo's Burger spicy Fries Plain and Spicy - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Ew, just ew. This is probably the worst fast food I've ever had. The fries were hot but super stale.. tasted like they had been made the day before & reheated in the microwave. Chicken tasted like it was from a frozen bag from the grocery store. It was also way overpriced. Almost $13 dollars for this and a small drink. Wanted to like this place bc it's close to me but I won't be returning. read more

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 read more

Fat Mo's - Little Mo 's Burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I love Fat Mos. If you call it in do not expect them to stare it until you get there. They say they do but they don't. I guess they've had bad experiences with people not paying and picking up their food. It's annoying tho read more

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

I know what you're thinking - it's not a restaurant. When you learn that it is, you're thinking - that can't be a good restaurant. That's your 2nd strike. Let me tell you where you'll get your 3rd and final strike. You're going to order the Super Deluxe burger combo assuming the regular burgers must be small, or that you're that hungry. Oh, you'll add cheese because this is America and these things can be done. I know this, because I do it every. single. time. I've fought that Super Deluxe with fries far too many times. I get it, open it, marvel at the monstrosity, then reality hits - how is all of that gonna fit in my belly. I have taken my first bite driving down Franklin Pike more times than I can recall. Go ahead. Try it. Remember, I tried to tell you. read more

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! read more

Fat Mo's - Cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Don't be fooled by the outside; this place is a hidden gem! Most delicious burger and spicy fries, BEST milkshake, and the most wonderful service. Fat mo's has been my mom's favorite since she was pregnant with me, and now it's mine! Try this place! read more

Nice portions. The burger was huge but with very little seasoning. 2 cheeseburgers, with turkey bacon, onion rings, fries and 2 fountain drinks were almost $50. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

Very good burgers. Drive through experience was okay. Did have to wait for food to be freshly cooked but worth the wait

Stopped here while in town on a work trip for a few weeks in Nashville area. I had sub par service, the prices were pretty high and the burger was pretty bland. Wasn't terrible but nothing special. read more

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. read more

Absolutely terrific burger, this is everything that five guys wishes they could be. Just go, you won't regret it!

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! read more

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 read more

Fat Mo's - Little Mo 's Burger with bbq bacon jalapeños cheese and spicy fries - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great burgers. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance of the place on 8th Ave. We were a little skeptical to try at first because of this reason and we're actually on our way to Five Guys when a guy eating his burger in the parking lot rolled down his window and told us his opinion of the place. He said the guy leases the building and therefore doesn't want to pay for the renovations but the burgers themselves were the best in Nashville. I'm not sure if they're the best in Nashville but worth a try. read more

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. read more

Fat Mo's - Drive thru window - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Food is Cooked and prepared fresh. Love The Friendly staff. You can get a good portion of food for the price.

I love giving small places of business a chance. I called place an order told her I would be there in seven minutes. My food still wasn't ready when I arrived. I placed an order for a cheeseburger with everything but tomatoes and it was extremely dry. The patty was dried out. It was a very average burger I could've went to McDonald's and got something a lot better. The fried pickles are delicious but there's no sauce included like there are in the pictures. She did ask me what kind of sauce I would like but I just assume they have their own sauce for the pickles. The breading of the pickles are really nice. The hamburger is ridiculous. Not in a good way. I've had way better from McDonald's. So for a cheeseburger fried pickles and a drink I was charged $17.43. Not cool. It's literally across from the Chick-fil-A. I was sitting there waiting for my food and I thought I could just go to Chick-fil-A but I had already paid for my order. read more

The burger was okay but found out owners changed twice and the recipe changed when they sold it. As a matter of fact they don't even carry or offer the Iranian Juice anymore. The owners took the Iranian Juice recipe with them. I would pass on this joint just to many burger spots with more flavorful burgers. Now don't get me wrong therr was nothing wrong with the burger and it had flavor but I was looking to taste that Iranian Juice do it just didn't hit my taste spot. I may be a bit demanding when it comes to American Cuisine there are so many burger joints you got to rise above average. So if you want a lot of beef get the 27 oz. Deluxe Cheese Burger. read more

I usually only try to leave positive reviews (check my history) but... this is my truthful experience. Since CORONA, I've been supporting only local businesses. Despite being unemployed since March, I've invested in a local business at least once/week. I found this spot a few days ago and decided to try it. The food was nothing special (and they got my order wrong) but I decided to make this my new go-to dinner "out" every week because the woman working had been so friendly. Sad to say, after my second visit tonight to Fat Mo's, I will never give then my business again. The man who served me tonight was rude. When I ordered my TWO meals I asked for honey mustard on the side. He told me I'd have to pay $0.64 per side of honey mustard. When I pointed out that I had ordered two meals, he pointed to the menu on the wall to defend his reasoning for wanting to charge me extra. Nowhere on the menu that he pointed said anything about condiments being an extra charge. When I politely pointed that out, he huffed and walked away. Without another word, nor showing me the price, he had me sign my bill. He didn't offer hand me a receipt either. Checked my credit card statement- he ended up charging me $3.00 for sides of a condiment to go with the TWO meals I purchased from him. I'm sure he also spit in my food (although hopefully not since, ya know... Corona virus). Small businesses should know to do better, especially now when we are ALL hurting financially. Treat your customers with gratitude that they are choosing to patron YOUR business. I can get cheaper & better (& faster) service across the street at Chick-fil-A ... and they don't charge $0.64 for a condiment to go with your meal. Oh ya, and I'm burger-obsessed so they just lost a potential regular customer. I'll be giving my money to the other local burger businesses: ML Rose, Hopdoddy, Burger Up, or Brother's Burgers where the service has always been outstanding. read more

Though you may drive up and wonder if they are even open. You will never go wrong with Fat Mo's. This has been one of our favorite Nashville classics for over 20 years. Best burger in town. Be sure to get seasoned fries and a shake. We brought our picky 8 year old, whose face lit up with his first bite. read more

East Nashville location is extremely rude. As to the time they open, he said it depends on traffic (at 10 am) Then after a long wait for food, he told me I didn't li here. I said after my long wait I wanted to make sure my order was right. He said it was "fn" right. I will not ever go back as long as that jerk is there. read more

This is your late-night omg-I-just-ate-a 2lb burger! spot. I got a 1lb burger with everything - bacon cheese, grilled onions, jalapeños, lettuce, BBQ sauce and pickles and...oh heck who knows. The bun was soft as a baby's bottom, and everything was cooked that instant. By the way, it was $11 for burger fries and huge drink. You definitely want the seasoned fries and extra napkins. The owner is super-nice. It was 10 at night and I sat on picnic tables outside. Now, don't come here looking for truffle fries, white tablecloths, big-screen tv's, or valet parking. Forget getting a gluten-free bun, bruised kale salad, or homemade ketchup. DO come and forget Hardee's, 5-guys, Sonic, and every other late-night pub burger joint. Open until 10 or 11 most nights. read more

Best burger I've had so far in Nashville, TN. Catfish sandwich is tasty too. To be honest I haven't had a bad experience and customer service is out of this world. read more

I've been coming to this location for at least 10yrs. I can completely understand that prices have to increase over time, but the service decline is not a good thing. I live 0.4mi from the location, meaning one would expect the food to still be pretty decently hot once you get home and immediately start eating... not these last few times. I order the EXACT same thing every time, the price went up again from last month... I was charged for adding cheese yet there was no cheese on my burger. I presented a coupon which they refused to take; even showed them on an app where it not only shows the establishment but the location in particular. At this rate of prices, I may as well go to Five Guys... read more

Well, after years in Nashville - looking but not stopping at this curiously crowded burger joint - I finally made it to Fat Mo's! Hunger had hit me in a bad way, and the promise of a greasy burger beckoned. This isn't your normal drive-through. Maneuver your car into one of two lanes, which ultimately hug either side of the teeny establishment. About 30 feet behind the building, there's a sign with the menu. Eventually, a dude came out the back door of Fat Mo's and approached my car. He took my order on a clipboard and trotted back inside. Now, get this: it's called FAT Mo's. Not FAST Mo's. I was probably in line for about 10-15 minutes before I got to the window. But, as it turns out, the wait was worth it! I ordered a regular cheeseburger (no onions), fries and a diet Coke. Unfortunately, they messed up my order a bit - after driving off, I discovered I gad a burger w onions and onion rings. That said, once I picked the onions off the cheeseburger, I dug in and adored it! Greasy and savory in all the right ways!! My son devoured the onion rings - delicious, he said! I'd definitely go to Fat Mo's again. But I'd love myself plenty of time to I don't feel rushed and I'd make sure my order was clearly taken. Other than that, yay! read more

Are you looking for the best fast food burger in Nashville? Want to hit up a good burger joint without leaving your car? Are you ready for this to be a lifestyle? Welcome to Fat Mo's. I rate them above five guys in the fast food category, and these people are so nice. In this cold weather, they'll walk out to your car to make sure you can take your order if you're not at the drive thru window yet (no talk box). I don't have much else to say. I like my vanilla milkshake with the burger and fries. read more

Fat Mo's - Waiting for glory. - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Unlike the Fat Mo's over on the East Side, this one has a walk-up window in addition to two drive-throughs. Just like the East Nashville Fat Mo's, however, al of their burgers, sandwiches and fries are absolutely delicious, and you never have to wait more than a couple minutes for your order. This little location on Franklin is pretty easy to overlook, but if you can spot it, it's definitely worth the stop. Their burgers and roast beef sandwiches are just about the best you can get for the price, and the staff is always quick. The combos only cost between $5 and $8, but you still get huge portions. At first glance, it might seem a little unclean or shady, but they tend to do well on health inspections, and I have no complaints. Worth checking out. read more

These burgers are GIGANTIC. Their deluxe burger was almost too much for me to handle. The meat was well seasoned, the fries (both varieties) were crispy and fresh, and the service was fast and friendly. They have a cute (albeit a little worn down) picnic area to eat at behind the shack. You might not think much of the place at first glance, but really, give it a chance You'll be glad you did. Nothing like devouring a monstrous pound of meat on a cloudy summer day in the fresh air, with an ice cold Pepsi to wash it down with. read more

Fat Mo's - Great food! Fresh! - Burgers Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I love Fat Mo's. Great food, good price, good service. However, I find fault in their hidden fees. I've noticed the slight overcharge many times in the past, so I decided today to confirm the exact numbers. I called in to order, asked for the price of the food I was ordering, and it came to $6.38. With the current Nashville sales tax of 9.25%, I should have paid $6.97. When I went to pay and pick up the food, I was charged $7.41, 6.75% more than what I should have paid. It's still a great price for the food, don't get me wrong! But it's a shame that they have hidden fees, and for that reason I give them 4 stars instead of 5. In the end, I recommend it highly, but be aware that you will pay a bit more than you would think from what they advertise. read more

I thought since this place had been around for a while that they might have good burgers, but I was seriously disappointed. No better than any fast food burger. (We also tried the stuffed jalapenos, which were pretty much inedible due to the overwhelming processed food taste of the "cheese" the jalapenos were stuffed with - I'd be shocked if they made these themselves!) Within a quarter of a mile of Fat Mo's is a McDonald's, a Krystal, and ML Rose. After tasting the burger at Fat Mo's, I have no idea how it's stayed open for so long. Definitely a local spot. But definitely not impressed. read more

I know this a really good burger place. Also the falafel is is about the best I have ever had. Very economic lunch too.
