    I got the single burger, it was amazing. The meat was great, but so was the produce. Nice crunchy lettuce. Also, good service and a very clean bathroom.

    Divey little place but the food was good. Tables and chairs were sticky. Not a lot of seating but did see a lot of take out orders. Weird huge bean bag. Interesting.

    Munchie platter

    Just had a great meal at fat shack. It's basically bar food but it's done well. I ordered a munchy platter that had onion rings, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks and fried macaroni and cheese balls. I personally judge all fried macaroni and cheese balls against what you get at the cheesecake factory and these are just as good at a fraction of the price. They serve them with marinara sauce. It was really good. Their ranch is good. The service is great. The vibe is kind of a more rock 'n' roll Wingstop vibe but if you're hungry and it's late in Denton, I highly recommend Going to fat shack for munchies. Experience was 10 out of 10.

    Cannot believe I paid $12 for this. They robbed me fr and they charged 65¢ for hidden valley ranch. BIG AND GREEDY. Staff was chill tho

    The menu got my attention with the catchy names. However, the sandwich was just too much. I know there is supposed to be alot of ingredients but fries, cheese sticks, and poppers just too much. Flavors get lost in the mix. Mac and cheese bites tasted like they were out of a frozen box. If you are hungry you will get full. But not very satisfying.

    Just ordered food to go ! Never eaten here before until now and HOLY SHIIIIT! 10/10 recommend!! I'll post the receipt so you see exactly what I got ! THE CHEESECAKE BITES ARE INSANELY GOOD!

    Great view too

    I'm gonna be honest, coming here I wasn't expecting too much. That was until I pulled up and placed my order. Just walking in was enough for me to know I found a favorite. I was originally getting a sandwich to-go, but when I actually looked around the back (which includes a giant beanbag), I kinda just felt like sitting down. I'm glad I did, because I've just been sitting here eating a Fat Gorbie and watching a mix of anime and hells kitchen for the past 30 minutes. This place is chill. It's weird to see other reviewers call the people working here waitstaff and service. These guys are dope af.

    Cheeseburger

    I've tried Fat Shack a few times, and I'm starting to realize it's just not my kind of place. When they first opened up, it seemed like a dream to me, somewhere I could get fried Oreos at the drop of the hat. However, after a view visits, I'm less enthused. On my first visit I ordered one of the sandwiches that had a million ingredients. I remember it not tasting like much even with a slew of sauces and such. They were also out of batter this visit, so I couldn't partake in my beloved Oreos. Some time passed by, and I decided to have it delivered through DoorDash. I've heard some really great things about the hamburgers, so I opted with a basic cheeseburger. I also decided to get a couple jalapeño cheese poppers- something that can either be really good or just watery and gross. I also ordered some fried Oreos, and got a call about five minutes later that they were out of batter and couldn't fulfill that part of my order (grrrr) It didn't take long at all to get to me, so everything was still piping hot when it arrived. The burger looked very clean, and not sloppy at all like some of the sandwiches. It had some good flavor, but the texture of the patty just wasn't right. It was just gritty and gross, almost like a school hamburger. I'm guessing they just use frozen patties. The jalapeño poppers were also just terribly watery inside, which was very disappointing. I intend to come back in the future to finally obtain the Oreos, and maybe find a sandwich I like. Just a couple of things to note: this is a very sketchy parking lot at night. I've seen people going around cars trying to see if some one left the door unlocked, and have been accosted for some spare change every visit. I would not recommend coming at night. They used to have in house delivery, until the very early hours of the morning, but they have since switched to using doordash and no longer have any of their own delivery drivers. Lastly, both visits I was here they were playing some pretty "interesting" music, complete with quite a bit of profanity. It seems to just be the employees music, but it's so loud it's hard to miss. Just a heads up if your planning on bringing young kids.

    Rooster's is a Denton institution, and for good reason! The food is consistently great, although…read moreI'd argue their non BBQ items are even better than the BBQ. My favorites are the Rooster Tails (fried onions) and the chips and queso, but the real stars of the menu are the burgers. They're always fresh, hot, and juicy. The free peanuts are a nice touch, and they offer daily specials as well. I really miss the Bloody Mary bar, which was always a lot of fun, but their Sunday special makes up for it with a generous double for just $7. There's always a game on TV, which is a welcome break when you've had enough politics to last a lifetime. The servers and bartenders are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And whatever you do, don't forget to ask about the Yahtzee Roll at the bar. If you know, you know!

    It was a last-minute decision, but I'm happy we tried it out. I was craving BBQ and Rooster's…read moreRoadhouse had the menu for it. The place has an eclectic decor and seating on two levels. There's a full bar on both floors as well. The staff was pretty attentive, but the wait for food took a long time. I was happy the cocktails came pretty quickly and were well-made. The food was all pretty good for the most part not wowed but good! I have no complaints about my plate; it came with a great portion of food and was reasonably priced for BBQ. I ordered pulled pork and a side of corn and tomato salad and coleslaw. The sides were different from what I've had before, but I did enjoy them. Their coleslaw is more vinegar than mayo-forward. The pulled pork was well-seasoned, and the side of BBQ was the perfect match. My margarita tasted as if they made the mix in-house, and I prefer this. Store-bought mixers are usually either too sweet or too sour. However, if it is store-bought, I'm impressed! This was not a sweet margarita. My partner went for the Tennessee Texas Hot Sandwich; I did try it. There was hardly any heat despite it being their spicy chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if they make their chips in house but it seemed so.

    We were craving a GOOD burger--the kind that actually satisfies the craving instead of leaving you…read morewishing you'd gone somewhere else. Burger Time Machine kept coming up as one of the most recommended spots, so we finally gave it a try. And now I feel cheated. How have I lived here this long and never been?! Somebody should have staged an intervention. Since it was our first visit, we had questions, and the staff helped us figure out what we wanted. We landed on the Jurassic Burger with curly fries swapped in, the original Time Machine Burger, and two kids' cheeseburger baskets. The kids immediately got to work on those fries, and judging by the complete lack of crumbs left behind, they were very happy with that decision. Now, the Jurassic Burger had me raising an eyebrow a little. It's a half-pound burger topped with little smokies grilled in sweet BBQ sauce, American cheese, mayo, and lettuce. Little smokies on a burger? I wasn't completely sold on the idea, but one bite shut me right up. The smoky sausage, sweet BBQ sauce, and cheese worked SO WELL together. It's a combination I probably wouldn't have thought to put together, but now that I've tasted it, I get it. And those curly fries deserve their own moment of appreciation--easily some of my favorites! For mine, I went with the original Time Machine Burger, because my logic was pretty simple: if you're putting the restaurant's name on it, surely that's the one that needs to show up and show out. And MY POINT WAS VALID. This half-pound burger comes topped with grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, grilled jalapeños, and American cheese, with mayo, mustard, lettuce, and pickles on a toasted bun. There's a lot happening there, but it all comes together SO well. Those grilled toppings with the cheese and that little kick from the jalapeños brought the whole burger to another level. It was the kind of bite that makes you pause to appreciate what you're eating... before immediately going back for another. Exactly what I had been craving, and my mouth is watering all over again just writing this. I understand why so many people recommended this place. I'm just a little offended that it took me this long to listen. Burger Time Machine, we will absolutely be back. I apparently have years of missed burgers to make up for.

    I should preface this by saying I'm not from Texas (but am currently in the process of moving…read morehere). I decided to try it because it was down the street from my apartment. Something about this place just gave the vibe that they had good food. Maybe the slightly overgrown parking lot, the fact that there was nobody there, and the building was older. Anyway, I walk in and this random customer asked if I had been there before. I said no, and he said something along the lines of, "You've just stumbled upon a legendary burger joint". Some of the decor was a bit schizophrenic, but in a cool way. There was a car shell mounted to the ceiling, old movie posters everywhere, and a bunch of random decorations on shelves. I just ordered the namesake time machine burger and it was incredible. So good, I ordered a second one. Everyone working was very friendly too and the owner seemed like a really great guy. It's the slightly rundown greasy hole-in-the-wall places like this that always have the best food. I could never recommend it enough. They also have a burger with peanut butter on it which I've been told is really good, so I'll have to try that next time.

    Wife and I have never been to this location and decided to try it since we were in the area. We…read morecouldn't decide on which burger to get so asked our awesome waiter, Delaney, to suggest a couple. She brought me the Bodacious and my wife the Sugar Burger and added Gouda. We were both amazed by the burgers, we also split some tots and loved them too. If you're wanting a good burger and friendly staff stop in and ask for Delaney :)

They…read morehave plenty of seating both inside and outside, a great bar with a large selection of beers, and--without a doubt--some of the best burgers in North Texas. I'm a pretty picky eater, so the unique ingredient combinations on some of their burgers initially made me a little nervous. My advice? Trust the chef. Unless you have an allergy or a genuine reason to leave something off, order the burger exactly as it's intended. The flavor combinations might sound unusual, but somehow they just work. Every bite is packed with flavor, and the creativity is a huge part of what makes Rodeo Goat so good. One of my favorite things about Rodeo Goat is the Battle Burgers. Every month, two wildly creative burgers go head-to-head, and whichever one sells the most earns the right to stick around and compete again against a new challenger. It's basically burger fight club--and thankfully, nobody talks about burger fight club. I've tried almost everything on the menu, but 99.9% of the time, I find myself ordering one of the Battle Burgers. It keeps things fresh, interesting, and gives me an excuse to try something I probably wouldn't normally order. If you're in the area and looking for an incredible burger, Rodeo Goat should absolutely be your next stop. Come hungry, trust the chef, and prepare to have your definition of a burger expanded.
