We are in town from Houston, we needed to kill time while we were waiting for our hotel room to get ready. Fat Pats kept popping up as a suggestion so we thought why not? I ordered the Fried Catfish. Initially it looked good, food was hot and seasoned. But after a couple of bites I realized that it was completely undercooked. The mustard binder was so overpowering and the batter was raw. Horrible combination. Some of my fries were cooked and some were raw. Suggestion- adjust grease temperature and cook food all the way and ease up on the mustarbinder. read more

I visited on a Sunday around 3p. There was no one at the hostess stand. I waited, then wondered if I was to seat myself. I did, in the bar area. All of the bar stools were taken, so I sat at a table in the bar area so that I could see the tvs. Staff walked past, no greeting or acknowledgment. Later, the party at the bar left. A girl wiped the table beside me, but didn't acknowledge my presence. I waited a good 10 minutes more for a waitress. Nothing, then I left. Accessible parking and entrance. read more

My favorite Friday night spot! The Space Whether you sit at the bar, in a booth, at a table or on the covered porch you will enjoy it! The booths have tvs in them and you can get multiple views of other shows from almost any spot. The Eats From the nachos and fried pickles for appetizers you will want to order for the table. I've had chicken tenders, wraps, burgers, poboys and they are all good. I didn't care for the Corn Maque Choux but I think it was more of my tastes not a bad side. Parting Thoughts As long as they have 2 for 1 margaritas I'm there! read more

Service was great! Our server was friendly and delivered our drinks quick. Highly recommend. Food choices and quality were great as well.

Went Sunday after church, we had a table of 15, we came in at 12 and asked for a large table, but most party wouldn't be there until 12:30. They put table together and we sat. Ordered, when food came out, it was really small portions, maybe it was the lunch portion, food was okay. I had the tuna salad which came out and was not made how the menu described it. It was made entirely out of iceberg lettuce instead of cabbage and spring mix. Pretty disappointing, and I had very little tuna. Like I said we had a table for 15 and everyone needing things, getting my salad remade was just going to be time waisted, our party was there from about 12:30 to almost 2pm.. so food took a really long time. Didn't ask waitress about salad as I was starving by the time my food got there, I just didn't want to wait for it. So I only ate the tuna and my husbands fries. read more

I'd been craving Fat Pats. I'd used to frequent their Lafayette locations. We decided to check out the one in Lake Charles, and I'm so glad we did! The food was delicious! My burger was so juicy and cooked just how I ordered it! I can't wait to go back and have more items! Our service was pretty good too! read more

I stopped in here for a late lunch on Sunday. We were seated right away. We ordered the Ultimate Nachos to share and asked for the jalapeños on the side with a combo mix of beef, chicken and pulled pork. Overall the Nachos were huge and good, but the beef was frustratingly small crumbles and the chicken was large dried pieces. If I ordered it again, I would get it with just the Pulled Pork. For dessert we got a Vanilla Shake and a Peanut Butter Chocolate Shake. Both were good, but I especially liked the Peanut Butter Chocolate which was made with real peanut butter. I would eat here again to try more things on the menu, but I would request a table with chairs to avoid the uncomfortable wooden booths. read more

Walked in at 4:30 on a Sunday and stood at the hostess stand for 30 min (they were not busy). Had no acknowledgement from staff. Left and went elsewhere read more

Coldest Beer in LC!!!! Food is always good as well. Tvs everywhere for sports watching.

if there was an option for more stars i would have put more! The staff is great and the food was awesome. if i lived closer i would be a regular. Thanks again to the manager for helping out a country boy and-for letting me acquire a beer sign. Thanks again! read more

I ordered a dr pepper and it was actually pretty good, then I ordered the chicken philly cheese poboy it didn't really taste like anything it looked better than it tasted.The food was not seasoned at all, the fries were soooo floppy and and not crispy at all but I will say the fries were actually seasoned a little bit read more

Sorry I could not give half star. My Daughters hot dog was not cooked. Straight out of the package. My wife's expensive hamburger was made from a frozen meat patty. My catfish platter was recommended by the waitress and was so over cooked it cracked when picked up. All fries was recooked and seemed rubbery. Service was great, the waitress was on top of all we needed. The food was just too bad for her to overcome. read more

Was in LC for the weekend and wanted to catch the LSU girls game. Some friends suggested we go here so I figured why not. It's a very nice place inside and out, nice and clean place and easy to read menus. A friend of mine had the fried pickles but she quickly sent them back as they weren't thoroughly breaded. I tried them as well and I felt the same way. I came across the 2 for 1 menu and ordered the mimosas. Nice presentation and nice bartender, but the pours were very weak. We all got 3 different kinds of drinks to see what would be the best. All of them were weak drinks and watered down, not sure if this was normal for them, but I most likely won't be back. read more

Everything was really good and I liked that the booth that I sat in had a TV and I got to watch the collage softball game. The staff was really nice the burger was really good and I would go there again read more

Food took forever and it was cold. We went with a group and some in our group had to order their food multiple times and it was still wrong

To-go order. I was slightly annoyed that I couldn't get anyone on the phone to place a takeout order, but the girls inside were super sweet. One young lady had recently dealt with a rough customer so her coworker gave her a hug and they keep smiling! I love when workplaces are healthy & supportive. They made great suggestions and I ordered what they said: wings and the burger. Both were tasty. The seasoned fries were also decent. It took about 10-15 minutes for the order and that's with them being fairly busy. If I had to grab a quick bite again, I'd return. read more

i was otw home from a vacation in galveston when we came across this place. initially, i looked at the reviews and noticed the relatively low rating, and i don't normally eat at low-rated restaurants, but i gave it a chance. the restaurant's outward appearance reminded me a lot of the magnolia grille in columbia ms, which i did like. it's also a very sports-focused venue (doy). because we passed through on a weekday, it wasn't extremely busy. but that also meant that we were seated relatively quickly, which was nice. we had dominic as our server, and he was a pleasure to have. we then ordered and then waited; the reviews complaining about the time were pretty valid. it did take like 15 minutes, but not overtly "forever" (looking at you, keith d.). when it arrive though, everything was perfect and nothing was cold (dammit keith). i reallt enjoyed my experience here, and want to thank dominic for being an amazing server (btw if you're reading this congrats on the baby ) read more

My experience at Fat Pat's Bar and Grill was phenomenal except for the I asked for for hot sauce on the side but they forgot that but then they brought it to me so everything was okay the Sprite it was phenomenal and the waitress was phenomenal I would definitely recommend this business read more

The food was amazing, our waitress Megan was really nice, sweet, and funny. Great atmosphere, great food, and wonderful staff.

A coworker and I went to Fat Pat's for lunch. This was my second time dining at this location (both times for lunch). Last time I visited it wasn't the best experience, but I believe in giving restaurants a second chance. The food and the service were awful. I ordered the Mile High Burger (grilled bell peppers, grilled onion, pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, pickle, & pat's sauce) with fries for $14.00. The burger patty was dry and over cooked. The fries were cold, over cooked, dry, and looked like they had been sitting for a while. I was annoyed that I could not get my server or any other servers' attention to see if I could get something else. Our server NEVER checked came back to check on us (20 minutes later) until she brough out the check. At that point, I notified her of the dry burger which I had only eaten 1/4 of and cold fries which I could not eat any of. Her response "I'm so sorry". Never offered me a replacement meal or never offered to remove it from my check. I've had better burgers and fries from Burger King and McDonalds. I will NEVER eat at this location again. The service and the food are below average. This place does not believe in taking care of the customer and I do not recommend this location. read more

The food is not good well I only had the nachos and patty melt . the nachos are expensive and not worth it I can make better at home they are dry no seasoning and very little meat n cheese which also got cold n I had to ask for some more hot cheese the patty melt is greasy no flavor n the fries where cold no seasoning n soft they need to fire the cook . I give a 1 star for food n a five for service its not the waiters fault the food is crap the atmosphere is nice tv every where even in the bathroom but without good food its not worth time or money read more

I came here opening day because I had eaten at the store in Carencro and was very impressed. Opening day had all the usual flubs and misfires, but was plenty good to warrant a return trip. Next trip was with wife. She was happy, so I am back today. July 25, 2022. Not happy. The ONE sandwich I liked is nowhere to be found. They've got a. cute little burrito wannabe called a wrap with fried pork tenderloin, but no sandwich. This is also my first time ordering iced tea here. Looks like they need to pass the teabag a little closer to the glass. So weak, you can SEE through it. Two deal killers in one stop? ¡Hasta la vista! read more

I really liked Fat Pat's. We went with a large group and the staff worked really efficiently to get things setup. We shared a few appetizers and I thought the queso was really tasty. I had the chicken wrap for my entree. I thought it was really good. I like to vibe of the place. They had a good selection of draft beer and a nice bar. I'll go back when I am in Lake Charles! read more

My family and I went in for a small lunch. The burgers were fresh and tasty. They were flexible with replacements. For example, they were able to replace Pat's sauce for ranch on my chicken wrap. The chicken wrap was delicious. It was better than I expected. Our waitress was nice and checked on us often. There was a slight mishap in the order, though, but our waitress quickly fixed it. read more

Fried pickles were very salty. All of the food seemed to be frozen food section quality. Not any flavor from any of the food. We will probably not come back. Also, the prices are extremely high for a sports bar. The service is really good though read more

My wife and I ate at Fat Pat's having hamburgers with french fries and onion rings. The metal serving tray (plate) was too small (I guess to make the little burger seem larger than it was), our burgers were not juicy, the fries were crinkle cut and a little warmer than room temperature, the onion rings were a bit on the burned side, and overall not a good value for the price we paid. I feel this is meant to be more of a bar than a food establishment. Not real happy, even though it is another food place in a town trying to rebuild from hurricane Laura. read more

Service was good-- food was quick. We started off with the queso appetizer, which came out hot and sizzling. We then ordered the Chicken Florentine and the Peanut Butter Burger. The Peanut Burger was overall a 5/5 but the Florentine was at max a 2. The drinks from the bar were also pretty good. Overall, I would recommend this place for a quick dining service. read more

We went to eat dinner at fat pats on Saturday. Never had bad service in my life like we did there that day And a lot of our food was all messed up. We will never be back. The "sweet tea" was so watered down. It was not packed at all and still took 30 mins for dranks and then over a hour for our food and that came all messed up. read more

We were actually looking forward to trying this place out. They have some games and stuff to do besides eat, but that's all that was good about the place. Hubby and I each got a burger. We got onion rings with his and just the regular seasoned fries with mine. I got the peanut butter bacon burger and he got the mile high burger. When we arrived it wasn't busy at all. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. This indicated to us that the meat patties were already cooked and not fresh. We were right. Not only that, the buns had hard chunks that we just tore off. His burger was missing pickles and the waitress brought them. However, she actually tried to charge us for them. It was taken off. The onion rings are not homemade. They are the kind you get from the frozen food section at the grocery store and not the good ones. Zero flavor and the first batch was cold. The second batch was overcooked. My "seasoned" fries had zero seasoning on them, but I added it myself, and then they were fine. My burger had the thinnest amount of peanut butter on it. All you could taste was the bacon and overcooked, not fresh meat patty. Seriously, the patty was dry and tasted like it had been cooked the day before. I did ask for more peanut butter and got it. Surprisingly, she didn't try to charge us for that. I will say the combo of peanut butter, bacon, and hamburger patty was good. I will definitely be making one at home. We will definitely not be going back there. Quite frankly, a McDonald's burger is 100% better than theirs. Overpriced for nasty food. read more

Over 1.5hr to get our order, poor service and poor food quality. Chicken wings came out burnt to a crisp and hamburger patty was size of a quarter. Will not go back! read more

It took us 15 minutes to get seated (party of 10) and it was not the least bit busy. After that, it was a good experience. The service and food was good. Burgers had good buns and the adult drinks were 2-1. The kids played some shuffleboard while we waited for our food. read more

In short, waited an hour after ordering for food and it never came. Ended up leaving. Terrible service. Full story, my family and I went there on a Saturday at noon and it was a little busy. We were seated within 20 minutes and ordered our food shortly after. We waited, waited and waited for our food to be delivered. Our waitress told us our food would be right out, this was approximately 45 minutes after we ordered. At that same time another family was seated next to us. 15 more minutes passed by and then the family next to us was served their food even thought we had ordered 45 minutes before they were even seated. I flagged down my waitress but she went straight to what I guess was her manager and must of told her the situation but the manager shrugged like she didnt know anything. After about 10 seconds of them talking and not coming over to our table to explain anything I told them not to worry about it and we left. We went El Paso next door and was seated, ate and left within 30 minutes even tho they were just as busy. Will not be going back to Fat Pats, their service was unacceptable. read more

I went with a buddy of mine. We ordered spinach dip and chip appetizer. Pretty good. I ordered grilled fish with corn, he ordered fried fish with onion rings. The grilled fish was good, but the teriyaki sauce on top, wasn't a good choice. Would have rather had a butter sauce, but you don't get a choice. My buddy's fried fish and onion rings were both breaded, not fresh fish. Didn't think it would be frozen food and just fried. Service was excellent. The bartenders were excellent too. I wouldn't go here for the food at all, maybe to hang out to drink, or see the bartenders, but not to eat. And the price is kinda high for the type of food that is served. read more
