I come grab a sandwich and shake ever year or couple years when I visit town, and everytime Nabeel remembers me and my orders.. Really nice dude, the entire staff is always working hard and staying social and interactive with the customers as they cook up THE best Sammy's in town! I keep trying to get them to move down to Nashville, until then I make sure to stop in when passing through town and always leave very satisfied read more

1am and hammered in the morning and needing the worst of the worst delivered, this is your place! That's what I do love about college towns, their unhealthy late night eats and delivered too! Having lived in Philly, I would say the "Whiz Wit" they offer was nothing close to what you can get out east, but still will give em credit for trying. My friends out east definitely ridiculed what I was even eating when seeing the pic. Place is perfect for drunken eats, nothing more. read more

Fat Sandwich Company - Whiz wit and curly fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

By far the best sandwich shop in town, maybe even the entire state. Actually... is Chicago still a part of Illinois? Ok, there might be some good sandwiches in Chicago, but this is clearly the best sandwich shop in town! The first time I came in, I interviewed the owner for my podcast. Now I stop in every time I come through on tour. Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2n8cFcCdjX2O39jG1tS43w read more

Service was really amazing, they were really sweet and recommended me fun new sandwiches

Food was awesome. Polite service. Bunch of college kids. Came in a bit late and waited but the sandwich I had was awesome. Would recommend and would come back. read more

Food was yummy- fries and hotdogs were great. Also the guy working was very cheerful and friendly.

Went there before a football game, based on the reviews. I am totally baffled on the high reviews. I did not look at the menu until we got there. The owner is getting one star, for lack of pride. One of the bathrooms was not operational so they converted the one that is working to unisex. Soap dispenser was broken and laying on the sink, no way to dry your hands, pee on the floor. Soda machine did not have ice. Pepsi did not have syrup just carbonated water. No napkins. Tables sticky. Their business model is cramming an assortment of fried sides and a protein fried in grease on a bun. The guy taking the orders and handing out the food was nice. I just noticed that Yelp list past health codes violations, it does not seem like they made many adjustments. read more

It's exactly what you'd expect -- a nice greasy savory comfort sandwich in your time of need! Nothing out of the ordinary. I thought it was decent portions for the price too. read more

Will allow for orders to be placed through delivery apps while being closed, won't allow for the order to be canceled then marks the order picked up. Poor service and a nonfunctional telephone number. Don't waste your time or money here read more

It was my first time there and the owner was immediately super friendly! Service was very good, the food was delicious! Good proportions and good pricing! The restaurant was a little dirty but nothing a good cleaning wouldn't fix. I'd definitely recommend this place! Great stoner food :) read more

The falafel sandwich wasn't as tasty as I expected. Fries was okay too, people were nice.

We were in town just for a day or two to play a show and DEAR GOD this place was immaculate. Currently trying to sleep and thought of it. I want to go back. There's one other place I've been similar called Butch's, but getting mozzarella sticks chicken tenders bacon ranch and French fries all on a single sandwich? How could you not give 5 stars. I do remember waiting what seemed like a long time, but would again. 100%. read more

They played Frank Sinatra in here! Good vibes. Sandwich was yummy filled with gyro, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, fries, and tzyakki sauce. I wish it was less dry tho (needed more sauce and more mozzarella sticks). Overall, good experience to try once! read more

Missing ingredients and slow service. Soggy fries too. I'd avoid it unless you are drunk and need something late night.

Momma always said, "If you ain't got nothing nice to say..." So my review is summed up by the rating. Take a risk if you want, but keep your expectations really low. read more

When they make the food fresh l it's incredible but they tend to use old fries. They also use too little sauce occasionally but when they do it right it's a sandwich you won't forget read more

First of all both of our orders (mushroom fat sandwich with pickles with chicken fingers) was amazing. it hit the spot and it genuinely is healing to the hungoverness. overall great food and TRY THEIR SPECIALITY SAUCE it smacks. Additionally, their customer setvice is amazing they are so patient with you and always serve the tastiest meals and they make sure you enjoy what they serve you!! read more

Better when ur drunk or very very hungry nice concept tho lol the heart attack sandwich so be ready

I'm sorry, but I cannot get down with the Fat Sandwich Company bandwagon that's going on in this college town. Maybe because my stomach is not as youthful as it used to be. I kid you not, this place seems like a drunk frat boy went into his freezer, took every frozen item in there, and threw it on a bun. I had the Fat Luigi, which included meatballs, marinara, cheese sticks, and french fries on a french roll. This sandwich had potential, but the meatballs were definitely the ones that you buy in your freezer section at the grocery store. I was not impressed with the food, and the bathrooms were gross. The guy at the counter was nice, but that is really the only good point. read more

Best customer service. The owners care about their customers. Fantastic food, the fat milf is to die for

Didn't include all ingredients in the sandwich I ordered. What a rip off. Very disappointed

threw out my soda from a shop down the block without notifying me that it wasn't allowed and while I was I the bathroom, the food was absolutely terrible, do not go here. read more

Nicest restaurant on campus with fantastic service, insane amount of food, great atmosphere.

my man Bobby holding it down on John st, go check it out fr it's a vibe. food was good and the man gave me the aux as soon as I came in. G's work here, let it be known. read more

This place is a dump. The food is disgusting and the place is filthy. I went to use the bathroom after taking a few bites of my disgusting sandwich and then it got even worse the bathroom was absolutely filthy and disgusting. This business should be shut down by the health department. read more

It is exactly what you think it is, and it doesn't try to be more. If you're in the mood for a monstrosity of a sandwich you would never ever order without the aid of inebriation, this is the place for it. The fries are always a bit undercooked, but I've certainly had worse. The wait times can be a bit much every now and then. read more

Fat Sandwich Company. The name says it all really. The perfect place to order the most outrageous and over the top sandwiches that pack 2,000 calories into one 8" bun. It is impossible to leave this place still hungry that's for sure. The place is small and divey, which serves it's purpose perfectly. The menu is as over the top as you would expect from a place named Fat Sandwich, serving up everything from deep fried cheesecake, to a 20,000 calorie monstrosity known as "The Big Fat Ugly", to a bacon cheeseburger on a glazed doughnut. They also deliver beer-- every college kids dream-- and they're conveniently located right on campus. The bottom line is, the place isn't meant to be fine dining, it's meant to give you the most densely packed, calorie infused, cardiac arrest inducing food this side of the Mississippi. It succeeds and then some. Would recommend it to everyone at least once. Truly a local legend. read more

Fat Sandwich Company - The Fat Frat! - Sandwiches Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

If you're a health freak, I'd advise you to stay away from Fat Sandwich Company. Otherwise, if you're down to coat the linings of your stomach with fatty oils, do a little damage to your cholesterol, and have the capacity to fit clogged arteries once in a while, this place will do just that for you. This menu items here are unconventional. Imagine a big hot dog bun, filled with things such as fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, onion rings, beef patties, bacon, ham, egg, mayo, ranch, ketchup, etc. Gross, right? Well, once in a while you just got to put your guilty conscience aside and set the fireworks in your stomach. Fat Sandwich Company can provide the perfect venue for that. Just go for a long run the day after. I wouldn't advise doing it right after your meal as you'll get pretty darn full. You live life only once. You might as well try their monster challenge... It's as big as a standard NFL football. Finish it by yourself and you get it free. read more

I remember drunkenly looking at the first sandwich I got from here, and telling my friend, "hey dude, I think I have your sandwich...I didn't order fries with mine". "Nah man, they all come with fries". That fact exemplifies the absurdly delicious sandwiches they serve. Cheesesteak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, bacon...it's all there. I've got to say, though, that they may win the prize for best drunk-ass food on campus. It is a bit more expensive than other options, and you'd probably need a heart transplant if you went here twice in one weekend (er...which is what I just did...), but it's undeniable drunk bliss. My only real complaint is that it also takes a while to get the food out. Kind of makes sense when you realize all the different components they need to fry to make any of their sandwiches, but the long wait is made more painful when you're wasted and just want something to eat. read more

Come here only after break ups/depressions. These sandwiches will make your body feel like it only has a couple minutes to live. I would suggest taking at least half the fries off the sandwich if you want to taste anything else. This is a place that's worth a try once to talk about how ridiculous it is, but nothing more. Not something I would crave ever again. read more

Fat Sandwich Company - Fat Cubby - Sandwiches Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Restaurant review With the wife out of town, I decided to indulge in food that my wife would never try. I ended up at Fat Sandwich Company not quite understanding the theme of the food here. To sum it up, greasy, lots of different toppings you would not expect to go together. The service was top notch, the guys behind the desk told me I didn't need to use the hooked app as the special of the day include fries and a drink free on Tuesday. When you go to order, there are some the most ridiculous names for the sandwiches including fat milf, fat frat etc. I ended up with the fat f which is Cheesesteak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, mayo and ketchup. Since I wanted curly fries they threw those in without additional cost. The sandwich itself probably has over 1k in calories. Although philly steaks are good, the combination of all the food including the mayo and ketchup is a bit over the top. I would recommend this as a sandwich you would eat after a long night of drinking. I think it was a unique experience, but I don't see myself becoming a regular. Pros: large amount of greasy foods, if you like fried foods this is a great place Cons: very unhealthy, the mixture of items is great for college students wanting a carb and fat fix, but I think I will have pass on coming here again just due to the greasiness Hidden deals: Sunday 3 sandwich for 20 dollars Monday 2 fat sandwich for 14 dollars Tuesday free fries and drink with fat sandwich Wednesday Free side item with purchase of 2 fat sandwiches Thursday 20% off fat chiefs and fat illinis Friday Fat nemo for 8 dollars Health code rating: D. The picture of the pubic hair like thing on Daniel N review makes me want to vomit. http://champaign.il.gegov.com/champaign/estab.cfm?facilityID=1330 read more

I think the other reviews are unfair. This place does not pretend to be a high-end eatery. The food is for college kids who working through a hangover or need to load up for an all-nighter. That said, this place does the job. I stopped there after a long car ride from BMI airport. I was starving so everything tasted good (though also had to remove a good amount of the fries to eat the sandwich like another reviewer). It did take a really long time to get the sandwich even though the place only had 1 or 2 other customers. I had no problem with the bathrooms but I imagine they are in worse shape on the weekends after everyone's been out to the bar. They have rolls of paper towels at the tables instead of typical paper napkins. I did have to use a lot of them after unwrapping my sandwich. Basically a 2 star type of restaurant; sandwich shop/fast food, but it does a 4 star job of it. Good, but the food could use a little more 'engineering' to taste better vs just paying for a lot of calories. read more

It is what it is, folks. It's terrible-for-you fried food stuffed into a thick doughy, chewy bun/roll/whatever. I do admit that I once went on a 45- minutes road trip with my sorority sister here at 11pm one night just for this and Insomnia Cookies. I got the Fat Sorostitute, natch. I was kinda disappointed...too much bread (I don't really like bread), not enough filling. The jalepeño poppers and buffalo tenders were good, but I passed my mozzarella sticks to my friend. I'd come back with my friends but I'd get something different. They have a pretty large menu. I suppose this is good when you're hammered. I went on a weeknight and the guys working were friendly and kind of funny. Hustling a little hard for a tip but I get it. read more

FOOD: 1 star - I would have rated the food 3 stars if hadn't been for the disgusting pubic looking hair I found on my food. I got the fat frat and it didn't have any cheese steak meat as advertised. I'm all for full flavored (aka fat & salt) food but the hair and meat aside, it just wasn't all that good. SERVICE: 3 stars - Friendly service. It's an order at the counter and pick your food up at the counter kinda place. ENVIRONMENT: 2 stars - The decor and ambience could use some work. read more

Worst experience ever. I ordered a simple sandwich with ONLY meat and cheese, nothing else. I clearly stated that. There was nobody after me in line, and after 35 minutes of waiting, I asked if my food was on its way. I found out it hadn't even been started, even though I was the only one in the whole place. He tells me "oh ok, give me 2 minutes". After this, I get a sandwich that has meat (which is good), hardy any cheese (like almost none at all), and then over 50% of the sandwich is fries. I clearly stated that I only wanted meat and cheese. I understand that fries are standard for Fat Sandwich, but I specifically stated that I ONLY wanted meat and cheese, and still got the wrong order after waiting 35+ minutes, despite being the only customer there. Completely incompetent, if I could give 0 stars I would. Huge waste of time and money, you're better off going to literally any other restaurant in Urbana-Champaign. Don't waste your time here. read more

It's a Man V. Food type place - has Adam Richman made his way down to U of I yet? there's a fat sandwich with his name all over it. Like one of the reviewers below said, it is what it is. Not a place I can recommend, a donut burger is not food, it is a heart attack waiting to happen. On the menu board, I saw cigarettes and beer delivery service. Freshman 15? at this rate, I'll consider that lucky. My review is not to judge the bad food culture that this place is promoting. The food, on it's own, was average. Sure, it was a fun magic trick, pulling out random chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks covered in ketchup and mayo in a brown bag, but the +45 minute wait for what should be fast food is not okay and the guy who took my order wanted a tip. read more

I jus came here for the 1st time, tried the Fat Lush which contains grilled chkn pieces, cheesesteak, BBQ sauce, mozzarella sticks and fries piled on. Let me jus say.. It's a Gr8 F'n sammich, 'Nuff said!! I'll definitely b bak! They serve beer too for 2-2.50 a bottle & sandwiches are around $10, not bad. Four pinball machines available, rather expensive tho(1 play is 75c, 4 plays $2) read more

Fat Sandwich Company - Hours as of 6/23/14 - Sandwiches Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

It is what it is- a late night restaurant for the drunk college crowd. My friend had been talking this place up saying it's totally disgusting but totally awesome (and right she was). She insisted we had to go AFTER the bars because I would probably want to murder her if we went sober. So we hit them up at about 2 or 3 in the morning; it was totally packed! I really don't know what I ate, because I just asked them for something without any meat so they hooked me up. Nothing on their menu is meat-free, so you just have to ask when you go in! It had french fries, mac n cheese bites, jalapeno poppers, and mozzarella sticks on a nice french bun. A culinary delight worthy of a michelin star, clearly. It was fun to eat once, I was clearly intoxicated when I ate it which made it even more fun, the staff were really happy to oblige our drunk selves with conversation while they made everyone's sandwiches. Everyone's drunk and passed out all over the place so the place is jam packed with college kids sleeping while their friend waits for their food. I don't think I would dine in at this place. Drunk people aren't clean people, and as such it's kind of icky on the inside because I'm sure the staff just can't keep up with everything. Oh, and no bathroom after 10 pm for anyone. Why? Because idiots ruined bathroom privileges for everyone by gettin' it awwwwwn in the bathroom. Kind of a huge downside when it takes 20 minutes or so to order and get your food. Will I be back? Probably not. Will I crave this sandwich again? Definitely not. Will I tell everyone I know about how disgustingly awesome this place is? Absolutely. read more

Okay, so this place is just ridiculous! If you want to be utterly shocked by your lunch, appalled at someone else's lunch, or an excuse to get an EKG and an angioplasty, this is the place for you. I think the shock value is what deserves 5 stars. It's in a college town, so it fits right in. You basically can order whole menu items (like chicken tenders, an order of onion rings, a hamburger, or a grilled cheese sandwich as a TOPPING on your actual sandwich. "May I have a cheesestake sandwich please, with chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, bacon, ketchup, and mayo on top?" "Why yes you can. One fat milf coming right up!" You get the idea. So, as a place to add to your bucket list (next to "bypass surgery"), this place is a must. And the food is really good. I like the fries and rings and fingers (not sure I want them on my chicken sandwich), but who doesn't like them some fried, right? Couple practical considerations... 1) It's loud. Come prepared for bar-like atmosphere (the TV's up a couple notches higher than my old ears would prefer) 2) All sauce-related toppings are slathered on in excess. I'd recommend all sauces on the side. 3) It's hard to get cute college girls to notice you in the right way if you eat there too much. Just sayin'. But you gotta try it once! read more
