Visited with my wife recently, we were greeted from friendly staff, very warm atmosphere. Started with Fried Avocavado and Grill shrimp as Spiedini Romano, both were excellent. Pork Chop was out of this world and Dry aged Ribeye cooked perfect and very tender and juicy. Great service and friendly staff. Very warm and welcoming place. read more

The waiters are fantastic and the atmosphere is a little old fashioned in a new way . The menu is diverse and delicious!!!!Chris & Ana.

As usual, the food was world class, and the service was neighborhood friendly. It is so great to have this restaurant gem right in my neighborhood! read more

Fat Sal's only tastes good when you're six margaritas in and your judgment is completely out the window. Sober? It's just a chaotic mess of greasy, overpriced food stuffed into a sandwich like someone lost a bet. It's not bold, it's not creative--it's just drunk food pretending to be something special. Save your money unless your taste buds are too buzzed to care. read more

I've been to fat cells twice in the last couple weeks. The first time I had their chicken Parmesan and today I had their chicken François and I got a Telya. The sauce on both dishes was insanely good. The service is incredible, the people are really nice, and everybody that I was with on both occasions loved their food. I hope to come back again soon. read more

Stopped for dinner. Had the linguini, shrimp and broccoli. It was very good. Service was pretty quick. Server did not really understand English so there were some issues there. Atmosphere was quite good and it was busy for a Monday evening. I'd definitely return. read more

Went back to Fat Sal's last Saturday night. Food was excellent as usual. Got great news from Ben the owner that he's opening new restaurant in West Milford NJ in the fall (September). Can't wait to go there. Will be called Prime 374. read more

Had not been there for a long time. Probably will not return. Prices have increased but quality dropped. The ' manager' sat at the corner of the bar and never walked around to greet or check on customers. He was talking to one of the waitresses the entire time. I couldn't get the attention of a waitress(wasn't our main waitress) because she was too busy talking to him. Other people I was with agreed prices are too high for what is served for a local neighborhood restaurant. It needs a more customer oriented Manager. read more

Cute little restaurant in Buchanan. Parking across the street. Music and ambiance was cute for a bar and grill. But the food was okay. But definitely overpriced. Drinks were ok. Drinks - peach breeze $13 & champagne cosmo $14 Food - chicken Francese Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken cutlet read more

Finally checked this place out for taco tuesday since I've been saying I would get here for years. Tacos were basic beef or chicken and our server was on her first day so she had to double check every question we had. She was still very friendly and fairly attentive although the lack of details didn't help the meal. Tacos overall were so so. Can't say I would venture back for them again and the margaritas were rather weak. I had two and didn't even notice a buzz or anything. Place is small but cute and bathrooms were snazzy with a black toilet circa Mike Tyson's bathroom in 1988. Fat Sal's looks like it has some cool other specials and eats tho so I would come back again for another shot. read more

Yum! Excellent menu choices. Great service, family friendly and accommodating with putting whatever is requested on the TVs.

Burgers are fantastic! Fries and onion rings really good too. Fat Sal's has so many beers on tap, so you can really find something you like on draft. Service is quick and extremely friendly. Have yet to try the desert because I'm usually way too full after the burger! It's also very clean, and decorated extremely cozy. Have yet to try other food besides the burger because I love it so much but will eventually! read more

Love this place. Stumbled upon it while on a road trip upstate and expected a typical bar and grill. Nope! High quality restaurant with wonderful ambiance and very friendly staff. Kid friendly. My 7 year old (coincidentally named Sal) asks if we can stop at "his" restaurant every trip. read more

RESTAURANT DOES NOT TAKE ALLERGIES SERIOUSLY My husband ordered the skirt steak salad and informed the waitress that he has a dairy allergy. He requested no dairy products, and specified no cheese because the salad normally comes with cheese. He likes to eat the steak first, then the lettuce. He ate most of the steak and then discovered a piece of blue cheese that normally comes with the order. Immediately upon discovery he put his fork and knife down, and hailed the waitress. While waiting for the waitress, he showed me to confirm it is cheese, and I confirmed. We brought this to the attention of the waitress who picked up the salad and inspected it. Upon her inspection she said there is definitely no cheese in it. My husband told her that his stomach hurts as a result of having eaten the cheese. During her inspection (while the waitress was holding the dish), my husband identified the piece of cheese on a piece of lettuce. She then implied that we must have planted the cheese because I had the same dish with cheese and my husband ate most of the steak already. This implied that we were lying about the issue just to get a free meal, which was very embarrassing. She implied this by saying "the cheese might have fallen in due to a mistake", and pointed at my dish. Despite admitting to there being cheese in the dish, she didn't comp the meal. She gave us 10% off the whole bill. She said she did this because my husband said his stomach hurt. This was about $13. The meal was about $25. Due to my husband's health we have to take dairy allergies extremely seriously. I'm extremely disappointed in the way we were treated. The way the waitress handled this issue made us feel like we were at fault, when in reality my husband experienced an allergic reaction due to having eaten cheese. Anytime we hike at Harriman, we visit this restaurant. It became a staple in our lifestyle. This time, we even brought a friend. Regrettably, we cannot return because this restaurant does not take allergies seriously and publicly embarrassed us. read more

We had lunch yesterday and everything was great! Their burgers are delicious along with the sweet potato fries. My niece had the French dip and loved it. My sister had a juicy turkey burger. The staff was friendly and attentive! We will be back!! read more

Delicious food, friendly staff and cozy ambiance! What more can you ask for in a local eatery? The bar seats about 12 and they have a nice variety of beers on tap. A full service bar is also available with wine and spirits. There are tables in the bar area and more in the back dining room. Parking is available behind the building and across the street. Some patio seating is also available in front of the building. read more

I absolutely love this place and love the drinks. It's nice to come and enjoy the good food and the staff!!

Great food. But service was sub par. Took us about 25 mins to get asked if we want drinks. I loved the wings and everything was great. The 3 stars are for the Operational Charge on my bill. Wasn't even the credit card surcharge, was an additional Operational Charge. I don't want to know that I am being charge extra for something, bake it into the prices so I can complain about the prices being high. read more

Another great dinner at one of the restaurants we like in the area. I decided to try something new and it did not disappoint. The penne pasta with pesto sauce is on the specials menu but not sure for how long. And the staff is top notch. read more

Ribs - good. Beer - good. Sauce - good. Fat Sal's - good. mmmmmm....barbecue. It's a tight fit, but worth it. Parking is on the other side of the road, but it's easy enough to get across; follow the chicken. The chicken crosses because it likes the barbecue too. read more

This place is great!! I had the drunken salmon and my husband had the lobster roll with homemade chips, our meals were delicious!! Service was terrific and great atmosphere!! Would highly recommend! read more

Outstanding service, food and customer service. Good pricing for the quality of food.

Staff was rude and short. Not very polite or helpful when it came time to order. I ordered a double shot and she looked at me like I had ordered a piece of foil, crack and a pipe. Super rude read more

Cozy and homey vibe, great service, reasonably-priced and tasty food, menu with plenty of options, and TVs everywhere. My entire party of seven was happy with their apps, which included a massive beer pretzel and homemade barley soup, as well as their entrees, which included the likes of burgers, salmon, and chicken fajitas. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and our drinks (mostly water tonight) never went dry. Only criticism I have is that their fries seemed as if they were straight out of a frozen Ore Ida bag. If this is true, they should strongly consider putting in the extra effort of making real fries at some point. That being said, I'd never seen or heard of this place (let alone Buchanan itself) until tonight, but I'll be back! read more

The best food! I Enjoy my sliders the most and I can eat here daily. If I was near the place, I wouldn't cook any day. I travel one hour just to have their food. Benny is such an amazing guy and he did a great job with the slight changes! You have so many different and fancy varieties, with SUCH A FANTASTIC AND HARD TO BEAT PRICE! read more

We stopped in this weekend after not having been in a while. Three of four of us were very happy, what we ordered was delicious and the staff was so friendly as usual. The only disappointment was the meat loaf, it used to be perfection and they changed it. It was mushy and there was a salty sauce around it. Wish they had left it as it was. read more

So was in area around dinner time so I'd figured I'd give it a try. A lot of parking in back or across the street. Very clean place with very nice wait staff. Bartender very friendly and helpful. Wellllllll until I asked about the crab cakes. Was told that they were FRESH and made to order. Yea they were neither. Very bread crumby and lack of flavor. The chicken scarp. Wings, ummmm frozen tasting wings with awesome sauce. Does that make sense? Why can't they have fresh wings with that sauce.? But I have to say least the beer was cold. read more

Fat Sal's Bar & Grill - Angus Beef Burger - Bars Near Me - Buchanan, New York

A new place in a building that has been at least 2 other venues that I know about. It was certainly packed on a Friday night, as you would expect. There's a small lot across the street so parking could end up being a problem, but we didn't have one. Lots of folks at the bar, both on our way in and on the way out. We lucked out and got a table right away (it was early-ish). By the time we were leaving, people were waiting for tables. Service was OK but I forgot how small the dining room is, but they do a good job considering. I had the Fat Sal's Burger and she who cannot be named had Chili and Mac & Cheese with toasted bread crumbs. Hers: The Chili was hotter than expected, but not too hot to eat. She neglected to read the fine print (or maybe ANY of the print) and it turned out to be porterhouse chili with huge chunks of meat, maybe porterhouse, maybe not. Unexpected but interesting. The Mac & Cheese was nothing special; wifey's Mac Daddy Mac & Cheese is better. My burger...well, I believe that you should eat a burger with your hands. This one required a knife and fork due to the toppings. Burger was good, not great. There was some interplay of flavors that I wasn't too fond of. Maybe it was the pumpkin beer and the bbq sauce, who knows. We both agreed we would give it at least one more shot. Just couldn't go to 4 stars. read more
