Fat Texas
Kevin T.

I've loved Fat Sal's since I've been in San Diego, but since the location shut down after the pandemic, I have been missing it. Recently went with my brother and I was not disappointed! This day, I was feeling the Fat Texas with Stromboli fries to share. Sandwich was everything I remembered it to be. They loaded up the sandwich making every bite delicious. The Stromboli fries was new to me and it was very good when you pour the hot marinara sauce in. This place did not miss. I was a huge fan of their sandwiches and specialty fries back in the day and this place delivered! They really are makin' sandwiches over here!

I finally got a chance to try this fairly new opened Fat Sal's. This place used to be called Jamba Juice. I walked in around noon and really wanted to try their food. I got myself a Grilled Chicken Cesar Salad & an Impossible burger. Nothing to drink and no fries. They have a lot of options to choose from: Sandwiches, burgers, tater tots, fries, drinks: milkshakes,cold & hot, salads and wraps. Service by Mason was AWESOME! He took my order and the order came out fast & quick. My food was very delicious and fresh. Restaurant was clean, and it is not a big place. Interior was pretty dope, colorful, and upbeat. They were playing great music overhead and I would definitely return to try other options from their extensive menu. Sandwiches were HUGE!! Saw 2 people eating and wanted to take a bite:-) they said no. Underground validated parking for 90 minutes free. Located where California Pizza Kitchen and Green Apple Chinese Restaurants are.

I have yet to go to Fat Sal's for their regular menu. I have only gone for their collaborations. I loved the Coming to America collab when they turned into Mc Dowels. The food was amazing! This time we went for the Rickmas collab. Honestly the smash burger with pickles, fried pickles and pickled flavored ketchup was perfect. The Fat Rickmas was packed with flavor and their Fat Cookie was mind blowing. My only issue is that their Philly Cheesesteak fries weren't tossed with cheese. Once you got past the top layer they were just fries. We will be back because I want tha Fat Bahn Mi!

Trying Fat Sal's for the time. I ordered the Bodacious Beef Dip (thinly sliced ribeye steak, melted provolone, truffled onions & mushrooms, horseradish aioli, with a side of gravy). All the flavors are delicious and worked well together. The gravy is a bit of a disappointment, and does not compliment the sandwich. It reminded me of Heinz beef gravy, from a jar. It might be different if they served it with Au jus. I also ordered the Italiano (Ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, sweet and hot peppers). This was not quite as big and tasty as I was expecting. I love a really good Italian (cold-cut) combo, and the nice guy behind the counter insisted that this was the celebrated cold sandwich on the menu. While it was good, it was not as loaded and hearty as I've had at many other locations. Next time back, I will get the Beef Dip again, but I will pass on the Italiano. Fat Sal's is also known for their shakes and loaded fries. I prefer sandwiches, so that will be my focus, moving forward. Overall, the service is very friendly and helpful, and the late night hours (1:30am) makes Fat Sal's an ideal spot.

First off the cashier was very knowledgeable of all the menu items. He asked our likes and dislikes and we then went with our choices: Hot Chick, Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap, Fat Smash, and Fat Bodega. All the food was delicious and the portion is big enough to share one sandwich with two people. All the sandwiches tasted fresh and hot off the grill which I love because no one likes eating cold food. The shake is thick and is delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. The dining area was clean and they played current music. Overall Fat Sals was a great experience and I can't wait to come back!

03/09/2025 Soft Opening for friends and family. I got to meet Sal himself and he told me about a few of the signature sandwiches. Drinks are included in the famous signature sandwiches as I ordered the Banh Mi sandwich. Seasoned fries are definitely a tall order too. Comes with a few packets of ketchup. I like BBQ so I asked for BBQ sauce as someone asked me how is everything. It's a small place packed with a lot of people tonight. Lots of friends & family here to support Sal. I think I saw a few celebrities, not big names but I do recognize them.

I first discovered Fat Sal's years ago when I drove past their Encino location and later noticed they had opened at Topanga Social. I always intended to try them, but when I heard they were opening in Studio City, I knew it was finally time! Fat Sal's prides itself on delivering "an experience you'll want to be a part of"--as their website puts it. They're known for guilty pleasure sandwiches and sides, but they also offer salads and wraps (for those looking to balance things out). Co-founder Sal Capek describes their menu as "unique and exciting combinations and flavor profiles that result in mouthwatering, over-the-top culinary creations." Since I'm picky about sandwiches and burgers, I was happy to see that any hero (aka sandwich) can be made as a whole wheat wrap or on a bed of lettuce. I went for the Honey BBQ Chicken Hero as a wrap, which came loaded with grilled marinated chicken breast, grilled onions, and honey BBQ sauce--plus, I added avocado. But let's talk about the Fat Shakes. These spoon-in shakes are next level--I couldn't resist and tired two different shakes: #2 Shake: Coffee ice cream, shaved dark chocolate, and smashed pretzels. Like a specialty Frappe. #6 Vegan Shake: Vanilla cashew milk "ice cream," peanut butter, Oreos, "whipped cream," and chocolate syrup. I added Marshmallow Fluff to it also. Service was great and while it is a smaller location than most and can be a little difficult to find seating, they do have some outside or you can do takeaway. Parking Tip: Park in residential on the other side of the street or in one of the lots off of Ventura Blvd.

I had always wanted to try Fat Sal's, and finally had the chance to get a group of friends to dine in. Food portion was enormous for the price we paid. We had our sandwiches cut into pieces to we can share and try out other entrees. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty, and beyond my expectations. I love how there are fries in my sandwich. Fat Sal- Ribeye was thinly sliced, mozorella cheese was delicious and paired well with the garlic sauce. Fat Texas- I can taste the pastrami, I liked this better than the Fat Sal's actually, it tasted more bold than Fat Sal's. Bacon Cheeseburger Fries- Wow, if I ate this first , I wouldnt have ordered the sandwich. This was a full meal, and super delicious. Chili Cheese Fries- The chili cheese fries was phenomenal. West Coast Burger- This west coast burger was interesting, it's not an ordinary burger, this burger sets the bar above any other burgers. After dining at Fat Sal's, I need to just walk home to kill the calories but well worth every calorie.

If you're hungry and bold enough to handle the craziest, most over-the-top sandwiches in L.A., Fat Sal's is the place to be. The portions are massive, the flavors are wild, and every bite is worth the calories. Whether you're grabbing a Fat Texas, Fat Jerry, or one of their loaded fries, you're in for a serious food adventure. The staff is chill, the vibe is loud and fun, and it's open late -- perfect for post-work, post-party, or straight-up cheat day cravings. They don't just make sandwiches; they make experiences. You haven't truly lived until you've tried stuffing mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, and fries into a hero roll and calling it dinner. Trust me -- Fat Sal's delivers on its name and its hype.

Actually, as a Seth Rogen fan I heard him regularly talking about and endorsing the spot, so had to try it on visits when I was in town. Now that I've lived here over 6 years, I have been here many times. As a local, I really like it because there usually isn't a wait and I can usually get a parking spot in their small lot. I say usually for both pieces because this is LA, baby! We're unpredictable! Anything can happen. Keep in mind, this is NOT the main location with It definitely gives old school NY deli diner vibes with vinyl booths and decor. A bunch of movies and TV shows have filmed here, important conversations happen here all the time, They have all the Jewish comfort foods you could want here including some more diner style items. They're famous for their pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, pastrami reubens, matzo ball soup, egg salad sandwiches & latkes/potato pancakes. Esquire Mag says their monte cristo is a must try! I agree, as it comes on their challah egg bread and is just so darn decadent. I also love the Fairfax which is half pastrami and half corned beef so you get the best of both worlds, plus swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Apparently the house-pickled pickles are a thing pickle lovers say are great. They have a bakery full of fresh items for carbmaxxing like black & white cookies (they're great here), breads like rye & the aforementioned challah and chocolate chip rugelach (kind of a cookie croissant hybrid). Interesting little bit, perhaps because they are adjacent to Kibitiz Room (a dive-ish bar with live music), they also have a full bar service. They're also on Goldbelly so you can get some eats shipped right to your door outside of LA!

The cafeteria-style ordering, communal tables, and vintage atmosphere are all part of the experience. It's not fancy, and that's exactly what makes it special.

My wife and I split the whole turkey sub with mild peppers and American cheese, no pickles. The bread was great--a little on the crusty side, but otherwise very flavorful. All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.
