I just had the fried Oreos, well Oreo because it was so delicious and satisfying I'm saving the other two for later. The dude who helped me was really nice and most helpful. I'll be back for the fried pickles! Really cute place with lots of seating.

In concept Fat Shack sounded amazing. All the unhealthy food you could want with some of it put together to make some sandwiches that have a calorie count higher than the GDP of some countries. In some ways it hits. The service was amazing and the food came out quickly. The restaurant was clean and has plenty of seating both high tops and lower tables. It has a Colorado sports theme and some televisions to watch games. However, unfortunately the food was not very good. The burger was okay, but the "fat sandwich" was not.given that it had fries, mozzarella sticks, Philly cheesesteak, and French fries on it I expected a flavor explosion, but it really Just tasted like reheated fries. The price was pretty high for a fast food restaurant too. TL:DR - Not as good as it sounds

These are the fried Oreos with chocolate sauce on the side. The come 3 or 5 a serving

The customer service was exemplary! You don't expect an effort to connect and an explanation of the fast food restaurant's focus and vision. He made this fast food experience uniquely pleasurable. I had a half sandwich which was more that enough. Not sure why Americans like huge portions- I am glad they had the half sandwich as an option which was tasty. The onion rings are yummy as well- next time I might just order onion rings and the fried Oreos which took you back to the carnival. I highly recommend you stop by

First time here, I wish I would have gotten the two guys names when we were in, both were very polite and professional! The gentleman who took our order suggested a couple items, I took him up on his go to burger and darn if it wasn't delicious! We also tried the Fat Shack sandwich, it was huge and delicious! We had both fries and onion rings, you really can't go wrong with either. This location was very clean!! We will definitely be back, and hope to see the same guys working so I can get their names and give them a huge shout out!

Food was great, good sized portions and perfectly done. The service was excellent!! Great helping us first timers and brought our food out to us. The music was good and chive on tv the teens were happy while waiting for the food!

Holy Moley me, these sandwiches are insane! Super messy to eat, but very yummy. I ate half of a chicken tender, French fry, and Mac n cheese sandwich and then ate the ingredients out of the second part. Very bready, but good bread! It was soaked in marinara sauce, so I ate that later when I was hungry again. I didn't like how the fries get soggy in the sandwich, but that's no one's fault - just science. Staff was very nice and there was quite a collection of random upbeat music playing.

Student discount but we showed an id and still didn't get the discount either.

Absolutely terrible service. My family and I came in to grab lunch and the blonde man who was working was rube right off the bat as soon as we came in. I could understand not getting great service in they were busy but we were the only people in the building. When we asked if we could use the tablet on the front counter to order he said "only takes cash" and walked away. How do expect people to want to come to a place to eat and be treated as if though the employee is upset that they are there. It's no wonder places like these are going out of business if you have rude employees that dint have any common courtesy. My family and I will not be returning here. If I could give 0 stars I would. Also not super upsetting on my side of things but you should talk to employees about upselling. When my aunt tried to buy a peace tea he kept saying "are you sure? They are only small cans and are like four dollars" that was said in a rude tone but it was expected at this point. It also took forever to get our order and that makes sense because every time we would look to see what was taking so long he was on his phone. Each one of our sandwich's only had ONE tender in it as well. My brother's sandwich didn't have any onion rings in it and everyone's sandwich only had one tender in it. Very disappointing and a waste of cash.

Stopped in for a treat while waiting for an appointment. I had the deep fried chocolate chip cookies and a Oreo shake. They both tasted good. I think the deep fried cookies are worth a trip. Overall I enjoyed it. A couple things that could be improved. They have the restroom locked and when I asked for the code to use it after ordering I had to wait and then they literally escorted me and entered the secret code for me. This was totally odd in my opinion and didn't sit well from a service standpoint. The food is good but their small shake is REALLY small. I think my kids had silly cups bigger when they were little. I can't give five stars when customers are treated like some kind of infiltrator when they want to simply use the facilities and they charge pretty steep prices for such a small shake.

So my total came out to ten bucks for three chicken strips with a side of ranch, which they charge for of course. I thought they were gonna be very large strips like most other chicken places offer, I was surprised to see that the strips were the size of the end of a fork. Literally bite size. Like it was for a kids menu. First and last time here.

Being the first one in line and no other customers in the restaurant it took the owner and his associate 15 minutes to make my food while one of the people behind got his food first and grub hub orders were being made. At 7pm two more workers showed up and I waited still. I ordered one sandwich which is mostly gross fried foods and very little steak meat. Tasted dry with very little sauce. The owner offered a soda as to make up, but bad service is bad service. I won't be back and won't recommend this chain or store to anyone.

Ok so some of the reviews are putting this place way lower than I really feel it should be. Is this a five star amazing burger establishment... No! Is this the greatest fried food in the world...No! But let me break down for you why it is better than even the two/three stars a lot of people are giving it. First, we came here one day because my 10 year old wanted a burger (she lives burgers) and so we were going to go to Wendy's (a five star Wendy's) and the burger she wanted was going to be $8.49 for just the burger, make it a meal and add $2. So for a Wendy's burger we would pay over $10, may I remind you is a pathetic frozen patty with crap yucky freezer burned lettuce and tomatoe toppings and some microwave or deep fried bacon drenched in a "special" sauce to eliminate any janky fast food flavors. All this to say a FAST FOOD burger for over $10 that is pathetic. Ok let's talk Fat Shack! First the double bacon cheese burger was $7.99 (for two fresh patties) and the toppings where free and fresh with any toping you wanted and a fresh bun. It was huge and my daughter was stuffed half way through, with good tasting yummy loaded cheese and bacon. Such a better value than the Wendy's burger, might I add was rated 5 stars (what???). Ok yes, the food here is mostly fried, and it isn't fantastic, but for the amount and the quality, it by far is better than any fast food chain and deserves a better rating. It has friendly hard working staff, a clean establishment and is open late catering to anyone with midnight cravings.

We are disappointed to say the least. Ordered online and my husband went to pick it up. The food was 40 minutes late (of which half of the order sat under the lights until the rest was ready). He got it home and it was missing two of the sandwiches and one of the fries (two out of three sandwiches). Very disappointing. For the money you'd be better off going to a local joint like Clancy's. I'd tell you how the food was but I'm now making grilled cheese sandwiches for me and my daughter.

Wrong phone number. Also, ordered and received email confirmation at 12:30. The 1:25PM must be the time they are supposed to start preparing

Lo O.

Despite the reviews, which are mostly about disorganization, I still wanted to try a burger. To help circumvent any issues, I ordered online ahead of time. Last Friday, I placed the order at 12:30PM for pick up at 1:45. Arrived at 1:48 and they had no idea what we were talking about. Their first thought was to tell us we probably ordered from the wrong location! Sadly, they just wouldn't make it right. By make it right, they should have said, "we don't see, our apologies, we can make your order ASAP." Instead they just focused on the system and showing us that they don't see the order. They needed to move on and actually fix the situation. More proof of disorganization: look at the picture of my receipt. When I called the number at the top it says it is disconnected. After looking around they got their our area code wrong! It should be 303 not 720.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while, but it missed the mark. We walked in and spent a long time with the menu, when it basically had the same thing 16 different ways. We ordered 6 wings which were half price on Sundays, and decided on the sandwich. The wings were not very crispy and pretty forgettable. The sweet heat sauce was yummy, but that's pretty much all there was to it. We could not imagine having mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken strips and fries on a sandwich so we went with the simplest thing we could find, and split the regular between the two of us. We ordered honey mustard on the side and ranch and blue cheese for the wings and they did not remember to include those with our order, the order we waited almost 20 minutes for. We got the sandwich home, and it had almost no sauce on it. It was pretty much just a jumble of fried stuff on bread, and you couldn't really even tell what was what. We had to pull out a slew of our sauces from our fridge, which is really the only thing that saved the sandwich. The saving grace here may be their amazing drink prices! They had a nice selection of drinks-including hard seltzer- that would definitely be worth coming back for. We also ordered the deep fried chocolate cookies, which were quite good! So you definitely leave feeling the "fat", but you're not sure it was entirely worth it. read more

Came in to order takeout, waited about 25 minutes total for one burger and a Philly cheese steak and a chocolate shake. Had to ask for my chocolate shake after about 10 to 15 minutes of waiting, and then wasn't even chocolatey. We got home, and the burger was barely even cooked, almost completely raw, but thankfully still edible. We were there late in the 7 PM hour. Overall, prices are definitely overrated, and the quality is literally similar to Burger King. Philly cheese steak saved them in this review. read more

Food is good. However the customer service makes it so that I never want to go there again. I called and was left on hold, heard someone complaining that they were busy the entire time as I sat on hold. Five minutes later they hung up. I called back and said hi I tried ordering and was put on hold & hung up on. The girl on the line was silent for a second and goes "okay? What do you want", no apology or anything. Super rude. Also ordered half priced wings for Sunday and they charged me full price. Not happy what so ever.

So much for Fat Shack trying to do late night done right. The absolute worst customer experience I have ever had. Went to the Fat Shack 15 minutes prior to closing with 3 others. We chose to place our order on the kiosk so they could focus on preparing orders. While placing the second order on the kiosk, we hear Justin, the manager, drop the F bomb no less than ten times complaining about us coming in just before close. We felt very unwelcome and requested our orders be refunded. Justin came up to the counter to void our orders and was unapologetic for his fowl language. I am a restaurateur and know the difficulties in finding good employees but this behavior was completely unacceptable. Justin is a bad apple and needs to find a job that is not customer facing.

I just visited this restaurant for the very first time with a friend a few hours ago and... I wasn't impressed. The food was extremely overpriced (a 6-inch sandwich and appetizer sampler with two drinks for $30), it took way too long to cook, and when I ordered dessert to go, they ended up giving me the completely wrong items and instead gave me some unusual food I didn't even order and couldn't quite tell what it was (I didn't realize until after I got home, and I'm blind so it made it even harder). They also prepared my sandwich incorrectly, when I substituted buffalo ranch for regular ranch (I have a very bad reaction to even the slightest bit of spicy foods) and they just ignored th change and prepared the sandwich as normal, and I did t really realize it u til it was way too late. At this point, I don't think I'm going back because it's way too far from where I live and not worth the money I would spend if I were to order from here again. read more

It took about 5 minutes for us to be greeted by anyone working; there were two employees working behind the counter, both were busy making sandwiches. Eventually one let us know it was going to be a few more minutes before they could take our order, to which I didn't mind - I recognize it takes time to make sandwiches. We waited for a bit (probably ~10 minutes), and then decided to place an order with them online and continue walking around while we waited. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, so maybe this is the best way to go about ordering so you're not just standing around. To clarify, I didn't mind waiting but it also made sense to place the order and then walk around while waiting. I ordered the North of I70 Italian sandwich, and indicated that I wanted mayo, mustard and oil + vinegar. My wife ordered the sweet baby turkey, and also asked for mayo and salt + pepper. Neither of our sandwiches had any condiments on them (pic included). Each sandwich cost $20, and while I realize that the price of good deli meat has gone up, it was definitely a bummer to not have exactly what we ordered on a sandwich that costs so much - $40+ for 2 standard size sandwiches. The other thing to note is that the mushrooms are not fresh - also included a pic of the mushrooms which I assume come from a can/jar. Had I known the mushrooms were not fresh, I would not have ordered them. I was really rooting for this place to be good, but was overall disappointed in the experience and outcome of our order.

It's a satisfying post-workout meal since it feels "healthy-ish." Perfect amount of mayo, sprouts, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and meat every time at this location. The other sandwich I've been into when I'm into something richer is the egg salad sandwich or Italian. Also, packed out but neatly made. Consistently crisp, toasted bread. Space: Spacey, open, plenty of seating. Clean whenever I've been. Service: Fast. Price: Average.

He looks like Superman flying over the dirt! Trying to make sense of the wall menu was difficult. Almost too many as to be confusing because several sandwiches are similar in content. The huge menu on the wall doesn't give prices for all the items and it's very deceptive in my opinion. Our bill for a Chicago dog, a pastrami sandwich and a Cuban sandwich with one order of fries and 3 drinks came to over $50 which is stupid pricey IMHO. There were at least 5 people working behind the counter and our order came out fairly fast. I felt the sandwiches were very skimpy on the meat and nothing came with a side included. The Cuban sandwich was underwhelming and not much flavor. If you want a wonderful deli sandwich go to The Bagel Deli off Hampden and I-25. The absolute best in my opinion.

There's a couple tables 'cause the wings are best eaten fresh and hot. There were 2 guys working and finishing a carry out and delivery order but they were friendly and told us they'd be right out. We ordered 24 wings for 3 of us. Just the right amount as the wings are pretty meaty and good sized. We actually had a couple leftover to take home. We tried the boss sauce and buffalo hot. We liked that combination. The french fried were nice and crispy rippled ones. The employee also offered to let us try two kinds of ranch sauces, one individually pre-packaged and one they had poured into a cup. There's a water dispenser that you can get your own water. They also have a free video game that is fun to play while you're waiting for the wings to come out. They are a Rochester NY outfit, a tiny different than our favorite Buffalo NY wings, but we are happy to support them again in the future. Gotta remember the cash discount next time.

Ordered food. Didnt get the sauces I was charged for.. also didnt know if you order a burger it doesnt include fries... that's a whole separate charge... and then when I call to ask about these "problems" the guy that answered the phone was probably the rudest person I've talked to in a long time. Moral of the story, never heard of the place till now and will NOT be returning. I'll be sure to let my friends and family know how non customer oriented this place really is..bummer read more

We saw that this place had taken over the property which if I call was formally Ruby Tuesday which we miss because of the salad bar. So we headed out west to do what we were going to do, got done than started thinking about our options of where to fill our stomachs. We've been to most of the chains that are in that particular part of town and we finally decided this was the best option as it was new to both of us and in my opinion how can you go wrong with BBQ? Loved the ambiance!! Military themed ! Which i respected and to be honest even if the food was trash I would still give it at least 4 stars because I am very strong in believing that our service members deserve all of our gratitude and thanks as well as 1st responders. If i would have saw anyone in uniform I would have gladly paid thied bill!. Anyway you order at the counter and pick up your order at the counter when your name is called and its general seating which is booths, tables and outdoor seating. The ribs were delicious meat was fall off the bone never even had to pick one up. Brisket was offered 2 different ways, juicy or lean, we both opted for juicy. Delicious as well. I had the jalapeño and cheese sausage as well which in my opinion leaned more towards the cheesy aspect but you were able to taste the jalapeños. The baked Mac and Cheese was a little dry in my opinion but it kinda seems to be that everywhere that offers baked Mac and cheese so maybe I just need stop ordering that item. The baked beans were good as well but im not a huge fan of warmed beans but they were still good nice chunks if brisket included. The sauces in my opinion I thought they were a touch watery but had nice flavors. All in all we enjoyed our meal and honestly I wasn't aghast by the bill $65 with 2 " Never Forget" cups to go.where a portion of the proceeds go to a foundation. I will definitely go back and recommend you to go as well. 5 stars

Everything tasted fresh and you can tell they use quality ingredients. Their buffalo chicken mac has celery in it and I was prepared for it to be hit and soggy but YOU GUYS it was not only crisp and crunchy but tasted strongly of celery.

The crust of cheese on top was crunchy while the noodles were soft. The cheese was a little cooled down/hardened if you know what I mean, but it was still delicious. The portion was also a great size for $13. I recommend this place!

He loved the bistro burger because when I looked back at him, his burger was gone. Inhaled it. My smash burger was good, but it was way over seasoned.

Took off a star for that.. and the soft fries... but the tater tots, the deviled eggs, the beers, the service were all top notch.
