We were starving and saw this burger joint on the side of road and it did not disappoint. From the dollars hanging throughout the restaurant walls tothe service. It was a great bite and stop. read more

1 Cash only, must use the ATM inside their home, which requires an additional $4 fee. 2 Hamburger cost $17 plus the $4 ATM fee, so $21 3 Customer service poor. A customer who walked in about 10 minutes after me was served before me. 4 Waitress "tossed" my hamburger in the paper bag to go. No "thank you", no cordial smile. She needs to be coached on polite customer service. 5 No military discount despite them having all military branch flags flying on their home/business. They also have military photos and patches covering the walls inside. 6 Cash-only business inconveniences customers, and the $4 ATM fee is unethical. Businesses often go cash-only to avoid the swipe. This cuts out middlemen entirely and eliminates the hassle of chargebacks. Clearly you guys lease, or own the ATM inside. This could be illegal. A small business operating a cash-only establishment demonstrates Tax and Revenue Manipulation: Some businesses operate entirely or partially off-book, shielding cash revenue from tax authorities to lower their reported income and tax burden. Regardless, we, as customers pay more with your $4 ATM fee. It's not the $4, it's the principle. 7 The middle-aged female waitress should be terminated, if she does not rehabilitate her attitude, and customer service. read more

Writing this review, I am filled with uncertainty and trepidation as I want to be both balanced and fair. The young lady that took our order was most definitely not friendly, but not necessarily over the top rude. The owner was a bit brisk, however ended up being slightly more friendly when I tried very hard to be both polite and respectful. Ultimately I would not suggest that you make your decision based on the service. The food is what I am the most disappointed in. There were (3) of us, (1) ordered the fish sandwich and felt that it was fairly good. Unfortunately, (2) of us ordered burgers and that is where the "wheels come off this train". Technically, the cook of the burgers and fries, which was appreciated. The problem was the absolute lack of seasoning on both the burgers and the fries. Unfortunately, even a well cooked burger falls into the sad state of mediocrity when not seasoned. I personally find it depressing when I cheat and have a burger expecting a deliciously seasoned patty only to bite into what easily could be mistake for a calorie-laden cardboard sandwich. My final thought, who cares about the service, it should be all about the food. If Fat Smitty's would just get a good seasoning salt like @Kinders and generously season the burgers and the fries, I would consider coming back and would increase my rating. If on the other hand they stubbornly refuse to listen to the many reviews that have identified this issue, then regrettably, this will be a "one and done" experience for me personally. Perhaps I will be a good neighbor and send the owner some Kinder seasoning samples. read more

We randomly found this little joint on our way through town. It's a classic Pepsi sign burger restaurant. We loved it, the burgers were juicy, pillowy soft buns, tangy sauce, crispy bacon, hell yes! Nice employees, cool vibe It's also cash only. They had a nice staff, we'll go back. read more

Love what this place is doing, giving back to the community and veterans and refusing to care about political critics but the food was just ok. French fries were tasteless even after loading with salt and ketchup. Ordered the name sake burger which was gigantic but lacking seasoning. Service was friendly and fast and the dive bar atmosphere is truly special. If you want to support local and avoid chains this is a great option. read more

Looking for a quick bite to eat while on the road? You have to stop here. The burgers are massive! My husband and I stopped here because we saw how cool it looked inside online. It definitely lived up to the expectations. It's small and cozy. I want to think that the owners were working the front and back, as we overheard them talking about scheduling. They're both really nice and very accommodating. You also need to snag a souvenir here to say you stopped in. We got a magnet but they offer key chains and shirts as well. The coffee is also a requirement as it'll warm you up on a cold drive in to port Angeles. Fun spot for pictures too! Also, they are CASH ONLY but offer an ATM to use which was great. We'll be returning on our next adventure. read more

Decent burger joint. If burger joints could qualify for dive bars, Fat Smitty's would be on the top. In fact, Food Network Triple D should do a show here. The prices are better on the peninsula than downtown Seattle but thats to be expected. The portions are gigantic and unless you are like my travel buddy you'll need a To-go box. Juicy patty, fresh veggies, delicious 1000 island dressing, crispy fries, and an amazing peanut butter shake. If you feel up to it, go for the Combo, but good luck! read more

You are in Trump country here, but this place really rubs your nose in it. Honestly the grossest part for me was the dirty, old money dangling everywhere. Imagine the years of dust and grease on those things. The food was nasty, too. You couldn't pay me to eat here again. read more

Hubby and I are on a road trip. This is a great roadside place to stop and eat! Plenty of parking. Small inside but has a lot of character. Service was quick. We ordered burgers with fries (onion rings are an option) and shakes. The shakes were SO flavorful. They have had a tradition for years of guests putting money in the walls and ceiling. When it gets cleared the money goes to charity. Wonderful small business to support! read more

Love this place. I go there at least once a year since I moved back to Washington in '17. It's a 50 minute drive from Poulsbo and absolutely worth it. Cash only and tax is included. read more

Rude workers, and for it being slow they took forever.... Food was low quality as well

Walked in and right away felt pretty gross. This is a dive restaurant for sure but the carpet and everything in it looked as if it had never been cleaned or wiped down ever. Staff was rude and seemed annoyed we had our young children with us. Didn't offer to get the kids waters or anything (we had to share out glasses with them...) Our kids are young and not used to drinking out of a cup without a straw so one swallowed too quick, started choking on the water a bit and started to cough it out when a different worker came out of the back and said "uhh disgusting, I don't know why people take their sick children out with them." The food itself was mediocre at best and made us feel sick later. Once we finished we raced to the ATM in the back to pay as it is a cash only establishment and we didn't feel welcome from the start and wanted to leave right away. If it wasn't for a family members low blood sugar we would have walked out when we first got in and were treated poorly. Hoping it was an off day for all their staff but just beware of coming here especially with your children. read more

Love stopping by this place when we're in Port Townsend. Love to order the Smitty burger w/a side of onion rings, and a blackberry shake. Every visit I pin a dollar bill with the Grandkids name on it. read more

Do not come here. This place will make you sick. It is quite possible they mishandled the food for me and my family because we are brown. We all ended up having terrible diarrhea and cramping shortly after. Once we passed this place, we noticed a ceders 7 resort with MANY dining options. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY FOOD SPOT AROUND! read more

I routinely drive from Bremerton to Port Angeles for work and this little chalet style greasy spoon is right on the way. Decided to stop in one day because I am a sucker for a good hole in the wall burger joint. I walked in and was greeted with thousands of dollars worth of paper money stuck to the walls and hanging from the ceiling. I saw various hats from different military units tacked to the wall as well, and more than a few Trump stickers attached to the fridge. I was in heaven. Being a conservative woman I'm used to having to hold my tongue and suppress my conservative beliefs. Not here! Hey Conservatives need safe spaces too! The waitress is an older lady that wears a black bandana and looks like she would be just as comfortable on the back of a bike as she does behind the bar. I usually order the peanut butter shake and a grilled cheese. Best peanut butter shakes ever!!! Overall this place is awesome. Would highly recommended! Unless you are a purple haired jihadist, then you may want to stay away. read more

Super cute and quant joint. Had the grilled cheese with bacon on it and this super dank Ethiopian soup. Real good

Food was gross and customer service was terrible. Would not recommend and it just overall did not seem clean

The food is terrible, but at least the service and atmosphere is worse. But hey, zero competition in the area so I'm sure they have a long and mediocre future ahead. read more

A must do place every time I'm at the peninsula. Kind of a dive but the food is excellent. Bring cash.

Food is solid and nice to see old school type decor. I agree that the staff (owner) can be a little bristly. To all this who whine about one iota of a conservative voice in this liberal garbage county and state - shut it. You have every elected office from dog catcher to the worst governor in the nation and still whine if anyone with a patriotic bone in their body dare have a voice. Typical liberal - move on and shut up. read more

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to unhinge your jaw. The Smitty's burger is the real deal. Prepare yourself for 2 large beef patties that would make the Big Mac look like a child's menu item. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes and bacon make this a double fisted feast. Eclectic restaurant at an intersection of a couple major roads perfect for casual dining for both road cyclists and motorcyclists - gasp! Friendly service. read more

Cool diner. Garbage food. No flavor. Bad odor in the dining room. Worst attitude of the older staff. May be the owner. The best part of the meal is that I never have to go back. And the trump 2028 sign just shows you're stupid to boot. read more

One star for service, two stars for food. When we went in with our party of 6, the place was dead silent even though all the tables were full. Since we had four young restless children we asked if we could sit outside and they said no, until my son tried to ask the waitress a question and she ignored him even when he politely repeated himself. Then they decided we could sit outside. Cash only, so I went to get some from the ATM in the back and I heard the two waitresses talking badly about us bringing our kids in. They were extremely rude and unwelcoming and made the whole experience uncomfortable. Food was ok. Milkshakes were good. Totally overpriced. read more

The smell in this place is hard to get past. The servers are rude and very opinionated. The food is almost not edible. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. read more

The burger was amazing!!! Reminds me of an old diner/biker bar but very friendly. Would highly recommend for everyone! You will not leave hungry or disappointed. read more

I'd give it zero stars their service was rude and racist and the place looked like it doesn't get cleaned often. Avoid at all costs!!!

I'll give this place zero stars. We were on our long drive to Sequim following a round of golf and were absolutely starved. Pulled in here to eat and immediately noticed two Trump signs in the window and a huge Tiffany Smiley sign. No way this place is getting our money! Glad they advertise their ignorance so that we didn't make the mistake of unknowingly eating there . It's funny because another car pulled in and did the same exact thing. Wonder how much business they lose taking this stance so publicly. I'd rather eat my own shoe! read more

Way, way overrated! I guess maybe it's just seen it's better days and relies on nostalgia to keep it going. Service, food and building were all very "tired" and not worth the stop. This was my first time here at Fat Smitty's and will be my last. There was only one table with customers when we arrived so not sure why service was non-existent with three women standing behind the counter. The youngest one said to sit wherever we wanted then never came back! Finally one of the older gals reminded her to get us menu's and take our orders! I got the BBQ sandwich and hubby got the burger. I also got a bowl of clam chowder which I couldn't even eat, it was gross!! Straight from a generic can gross! The BBQ sandwich was way overloaded with sweet BBQ sauce and very little meat. It tasted just like that Lloyd's stuff at the grocery store! Hubby's burger was good, nothing fancy, just a big burger! For nostalgia, it's a great photo op stop but for food, we'll definitely go elsewhere! read more

This place has such good hamburgers that I've got to leave a review almost every time I eat there.

I love a good hole in the wall, eclectic, with a tasty burger, This was not it. It was dirty, smelled overwhelming of grease and strong cleaner, WAY over priced, the money all over was really dusty and the blower for heat was really gross to be under while you're eating, waitress was a bit odd, the food was meh, potato salad and coleslaw were a pass, fries were okay, burgers were chewy, so much so I spit out quite a bit as you can see in all the napkins balled up. The produce on the burger's were good, lettuce, tomatoes, onion etc... It was as tacky, as the political signs in the front of the restaurant. Very off putting...it's a hard pass. I usually prefer to refrain from leaving negative reviews, we have enough negativity in the world. But this place left a really bad taste in my mouth read more

Quirky little diner on the outskirts. The food was alright the clam chowder was a little watery, the chili was homemade, but the double decker burger was hunch worthy and so juicy would come back for that alone. You can order either inside or out. The place is cash only with an ATM on sight. My favorite part is the walls are covered with dollar bills they donate to charity every 2 years the lady working informed us last donation exceeded 25,000 dollars. Wow love a local business that helps its community. Thanks for a great pit stop read more

Someone at work mentioned they love the milkshakes here... i pass by twice a day and decided to stop in for lunch. Not exaggerating, one of the best burgers, and shakes I've ever had! I'm gonna have trouble passing it twice a day without stopping... I'm definitely going there again! read more

The food was wonderful, interesting atmosphere, the staff were not friendly or welcoming, rolled their eyes when my gluten free friend asked to have her burger without a bun. If you don't mind unfriendly staff, stop in and enjoy a burger and fries! read more

Took my 1year old here for lunch on our way to meet family in Sequim. We shared the Fat Smitty burger. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My baby waved the entire time and they all humoured her. We were stuffed after and hit the road happy. read more

Stopped here again on my way back from another backpacking trip. Was super hungry and looking forward to the meal. Again the burger did not disappoint. Two things: first, they are cash only. They have an ATM- and there may be signs, but it's not really clear. I must've paid cash the last time I was there, a year ago, but I didn't remember that. Just a heads up. Second: this place has a visible political stance that either I was too hungry to really notice the first time or has increased significantly in the last year. I make no judgements here about ANY political or social stance- for me this isn't the forum to do that- but you should note that this is very clearly an establishment that supports Trump and is visibly anti LGBTQ. There are signs and banners declaring as such- so if that makes you uncomfortable, I'd advise staying away. Personally, I don't like to mix politics with good burgers. read more

Driven by this place dozens of times but never had a chance to stop, until now. Awesome old school dinner feel, exterior was cool and the inside is even better. Dollar bills cover every wall inside, so I had to add one of my own. Service quick and very friendly. I got the Fatty Smitty burger, it was absolutely massive. The flavor wasn't anything special, but the serving size was awesome. My fry's were a little over cooked, and nothing special about them. Highly recommend stopping by at least once. Cash only! read more

Fat Smitty's - Fat Smitty burger with Fries - Burgers Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

I had great memories of going to Fat Smitty's when I first moved to Washington. At the time, I had just finished a long backpacking trip and it was a college tradition to get a Smitty burger after a long hike. I remembered the burgers being colossal and unctuous. I also had a vivid memory of a their interior--- the walls were covered in hanging dollars. I went back this week for the first time in 20 years. The place was about the same: their menu hasn't changed and their walls were still plastered with dollars. The only change I noted was a plethora of Trump signs and MAGA paraphernalia. Let's just say these additions did not do much to wet my appetite.... My boyfriend and I both got the Smitty Burgers with fries. The Burgers were colossal (I took a portrait of mine and actually used my phone's portrait mode). Aside from the size of the burger, I can't say that there was anything special about the food. It was a standard burger. Yes it was greasy and it did fulfill my craving but it doesn't rank among the best burgers I've had. It wouldn't even grace my list of top Washington burgers. These days, Smitty's seems to be geared towards a very specific crowd. Everything is bigger and great (but not really). It is an experience though, and if you are driving home from a hike it might be worth it for you to stop and see for yourself. read more
