Really cool restaurant. I did not eat their food, but they have out door seating and they allow people who get pizza from Prince Street Pizza to use their patio and eat since the pizza place has no seating. Only catch is you have to buy drinks. But Tuesday was half price drinks all day!!!! Win win! We got to enjoy the amazing patio with the amazing music (radio not live) And the girl was so nice serving us It was a fun day for sure read more

Skip the milk and cookies. Santa wants Cajun eggnog. Cajun eggnog + a floater of Southern Comfort. That is what the three of us had while eating some pizza from next door. Was it indulgent? Yes. Did I feel that SoCo? Also yes. But more importantly, did it give me blurry flashbacks of my days as an ASU student or a tourist in Las Vegas? DEFINITELY YES! While I didn't get any food here, the adult slushies still slaps. I'm glad they were cool about us eating pizza from next door out on their patio with a purchase of some drinks. Cheers to you, Fat Tuesday. read more

Whenever I hear the words "Fat Tuesday," I think of college, Las Vegas, and all the periods of time in my life when I've made questionable choices. We had been grabbing pizza next door after going holiday shopping and an adult slushie sounded fun. They had a Cajun Eggnog being sold as it's December. After trying our the sample cup, we went for it. Cheers! I didn't think it was boozy but J-Wow claims the Southern Comfort had her feeling sleepy after she had a medium cup ($12) of it. I think it was the calories bomb of pizza and eggnog that had her feeling sleepy but I'm not here to argue with that. It's a solid spot here on Mill Ave and Sixth Street. It's a legit spot when you need a sugary slushie but I'm in no hurry to be back. read more

Fun hangout place on Mill avenue, great for groups. My coworkers went on a weekday for lunch and enjoyed our food. There was only one staff member working, so we did have to go up to the bar and order. He was really nice and brought our food to the table, quick service. For anyone who wants to sit outside, there is a lot of outdoor seating available. The music was really loud and it was almost possible to hear someone else talking. While this may be fun at night, during the weekday lunchtime it wasn't. There was also a weird smell when walking in, this is the second time I have visited and both times I noticed it. If you sit away from the entrance it is fine though. read more

Came in during lunch time on a Thursday. When you enter you are able to sit wherever you like. We were informed during our time there we would need to order at the bar. We ordered at the bar and the food was delivered to our table. The restaurant plays loud music (reggaeton) over the speakers and gives off a very lively atmosphere. It would be a great place for happy hour, pre gaming and/ or energetic entertainment with friend. It may be hard to have conversation if you come in a group. I ordered the Baja Tacos and they were good. The slaw and salsa had a good flavor. The order comes with three tacos. My recommendation would be is I would like if they would offer fountain drinks (Coke products) or bottles beverages to enjoy with my meal. read more

Went here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn't super busy when we arrived but traffic picked up during our visit. We sat ourselves and it took a minute for someone to notice we were there. It was freezing where we initially sat inside so we went outside and the weather was perfect. The waitress was nice but she would disappear for long periods of time. Me and my friends each got a drink. The drinks are usually perfect so that's not new. What was new to me because it's been forever since I've been here was the food menu. It completely changed. They need to bring the egg rolls back! Anyway, I got hot lemon pepper wings and onion rings, my friend got the Buffalo chicken salad and fried pickles, and other friend got the platter with 3 items that I can't remember. The portions on the platter were small. The wings were good but could have been crispier. The onion rings were good but I ate one that appeared to be a weird texture and bitter so it was probably one of those weird outside pieces. read more

The good: Service was great, the server checked up on us several times to make sure we were good. The music they play is very upbeat, made me want to get up and dance! The drinks were tasty! I had the Superman slush, very delicious! The bad: The food was not great. We got the Buffalo chicken dip, pretzels with cheese, and the Buffalo wings. The sauce on the wings had a weird flavor. The Buffalo dip was cold when we received it, as was the cheese sauce for the pretzels. None of it seemed very fresh. I would come back for the drinks and the vibe, but will probably skip the food next time. read more

Had a big group with two kids. Informed waitress it was someone's birthday when taking our order and she said I got you. After paying and waiting awhile I went to go follow up with that "I got you." She turned to the other waitress to ask if they do anything for birthdays and that waitress said no so just a heads up. read more

They were playing great music and the slushy drinks were great. It was our last stop for the night and they turned the lights on and music off pretty much at 2am so that's common. The staff was friendly and we had a great time dancing. The bathrooms were a very dirty and the floor was very wet but other than that it was a fun time. The actual drinks were very good and not too expensive and the DJ was playing great music so it was fun. read more

Good Spot on weekends with DJ playing good mix of Music.. mainly Hip Hop but that's exactly what I like. Would be a 5star but drinks are kinda pricey. No drink or shot specials on Fri & Sat night. Other than that fun times for sure and good vibes! read more

We got there right as they opened it's clear their focus is on the ASU afternoon/night crowd. No one to greet us, bartender was busy with tasks but did serve us a drink. Also very industrial looking vide inside read more

You get what you expect at a Fat Tuesdays! Fun/Mardi Gras vibe and decor, but definitely not always busy. The 190 octane require is my absolute go to every time, with the add shot because what other way would you start off a fun night on Mill Avenue?! Service is always been good - polite bouncers to check ID's, friendly bartenders, nice servers , and ample outdoor seating areas in the front and the back. This time we were actually responsible, and had food also (instead of just drinks). I got the Carnitas street tacos, and they were actually really tasty! I think I might come back here and actually eat more often! Thanks for being one of the constant staples on Mill Avenue, great job! read more

Well worth the drive! We live in Gilbert so don't get this way very often but we were craving the frozen cocktails and so excited to see they are still here after so many years. It was quiet early afternoon on a weekday so open seating. We sat on the patio best weather so we could people watch. So many great choices we started with a flight board and went with 151 Pina Colada, Jungle Juice fruit punch, Miami Vice and Bomb Pop. Everything was delicious! Great way to try different ones. For food, we went with the Cajun spice Shrimp Tacos and Hot Wings. We ordered extra crispy they were cooked just right. If I had one complaint the dressing was watered down but still tasted good. Customer service was great as well. One last thing with mentioning, I noticed on Weds they offer 25% off to those in service... police, fire, EMT, nurses etc. read more

02/13 @1:38 from the moment I and my friends came in the security guard was so rude when we first walked in always giving dirty looks . Then @1:38am he yells "djs done go home." As he was already giving us dirty ass looks while stacking chairs . I THOUGHT since it is under new management everyone would be more POC friendly but I guess not. Saturday security guards are DEFINITELY MORE WELCOMING when he is not there .. read more

This place always plays great music that will get up you dancing. The drinks can be pricey $14 for a Long Island. Grab your friends, and head to Fat Tuesday on a Friday or Saturday night for great vibes and great music. Bartenders are quick to make drinks and the drinks aren't watered down. Make sure you check-in cause the first time you check in, you receive a special deal. read more

I typically write yelps in a positive manner to support businesses and their employees who deserve a shout out but I woke up today still perplexed at the experience we had here last night. We were on a birthday crawl and experiencing Mill Avenue for the first time. Fat Tuesday was one of the spots that we stopped into. Security had absolutely no personality, didn't even speak to me when I said hello to him and clearly doesn't know anything about customer service. (You are the first and the last person Guests see at this business. Lose the attitude.) Then we walked in and went straight to the bar and proceeded to watch the bartender continue to have conversations with his guests as if we had never walked in. Please keep in mind, I've been in the service industry for over 30 years, so I understand exaggeration on wait times and when I tell you, we stood there for over 5 minutes in a dead bar waiting for a drink, it's no cap. Finally, right when we were getting irritated and about to leave, I saw him speak to another gentleman coming around the corner and point to us, so he knew that we were there. The "new guy" proceeds to tell us (3 bartenders) that a daiquiri is the same thing as a piña colada when my girl orders a daiquiri and gets a pina colada and completely ignores the guy in our party. He did compensate by giving our guy friend a complementary drink for his wait, but no matter how good the music was, this whole experience was crappy. We would've been the highest gratuity percentage of the night. Service before conversation, my dude. read more

Good drinks and friendly service. The lemon pepper fries and chicken strips were yummy. read more

For great frozen alcoholic drinks, fun, and dancing, you want to come here. Depending on what night you go, you will find amazing music and quick service. Beware that on the weekends it really gets busy as this place turns into a nightclub. They turn the music all the way up, and lines get longer, so I suggest getting there early. read more

We sat for over 20 minutes with no one even saying hi to take an order. I've never seen wait staff just standing around talking. Poor service!!!! read more

The music is always good. The waitresses are occasionally good at noticing when you sit down to take your order. The last time we went, we sat for 20 min and never had someone come over to see what we wanted. We ended up going to the bar and ordered our drinks and food with the bartender. He was veey good. The waitresses spent more time chatting in the corner and taping while working than paying attention to their customers. Managers need to spend a little more time keeping an eye on their employees. read more

Awesome atmosphere and just overall good service always knows what I want when I go in and it's reassuring customers are #1 priority

The Peach Bellini or Mango slushies are the way to go! On the menu, they're "daiquiris". They don't put very much alcohol, so it's sweet and easy to drink. Very affordable too! Unlike the Vegas locations, you can't walk around downtown with these... so definitely take the time to come and hangout at the bar. They play 2000's RnB and Rap! Good vibes and lots of people dancing late at night. read more

We love all the ways to make a blended drink. We had the Mardi Gras Mash, mango/strawberry and peach bellini. They were all good and refreshing in their own way. Service on the other hand was less than stellar. We stood at the bar for quite awhile before we were waited on. Servers even walked by and didn't acknowledge. Finally we were served, but she had little personality. It wasn't that busy either. The young man was personable and if it wasn't for him checking on us, we wouldn't have stuck around. There were other customers that had the same issue with customer service. The server we had was the manager. Not good. read more

Our company would have been 40 years old on Aug 1st. I realized that no one had planned a celebration or reunion about 2 weeks before. I called Fat Tuesdays in Tempe as it was right next to our old headquarters. Jason the manager was happy to accommodate us. Olivia their party coordinator called me and we discussed the details. I brought down the decorations the night before. She went above and beyond in decorating with my stuff and even added extra balloons and decorations. We had our own dedicated bartender, Dominic and even 2 servers. We had no idea of how many were coming, which turned out to be about 150. Everyone raved about the party. The service, the food and drinks were amazing. Thank you FT for being a great place to get together! read more

Went for the ASU Big 12 championship game and even though they weren't quite open yet, they let us in early to watch the game! So nice. Once it got going, it was hopping and staff was so wonderful especially Lily and Jason. Thanks so much for a great time! Wings and drinks are fabulous! Thank you! Go Devils! read more

We went here with a bunch of our friends. My husband and I haven't been here before, so we asked our server for sour drinks. The only flavor that you could get from drinks was sweet. Disappointed with the orders, but the server was very friendly and attentive, and we loved the place's vibe. read more

I couldn't get in because I had no belt loops. Honestly, the business was lucky that I even wanted to walk in there and keep the lights on for another 30 minutes. Went over to handlebars no problem. I did not need belt loops on my shorts to get in. Some advice, you guys are not a busy bar. You should take all the customers that are willing to come buy drink before we realized the place is trash and leave. Also really weird that the security guard only wanted me to lift my shirt to find no belt loops on my normal shorts. I guess they don't have any real problems to deal with so they're chasing belt loops. read more

Don't forget to check-in so you can use your check-in offer for 50% off a drink! The last few times I've been here they've played reggaetón (yay!) and hip hop and this has been on Friday and Saturday nights. It's not terribly packed either and neither does it ever have a long line. As long as the music is good and there's dancing space, I'm pretty happy at a nightclub/bar. Security is also nice and reasonable, no arrogant pricks here, just nice staff. read more

Fat Tuesday - Tempe - The bar. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My favorite places in Tempe tend to be on Mill Ave. Sure, it has a reputation for only being for ASU students but that's not true. Everyone can come down here and have a great time! Fat Tuesday usually has a long line to get in, especially if you are arriving in the later hours. It's easy to see why it's so popular. The interior of the restaurant has a fun vibe and the crowd is chill. Pull up a chair at the bar and strike up a conversation with other patrons. Not many places like this still around, but Fat Tuesday is one of them. The daquiris are quite (in)famous here. They are big and colorful. To be honest? Only order them if you like super sugary drinks and not much alcohol. I didn't like it and switched to beer after (IPA!). I also had a different cocktail later that was well mixed. But for me, the daquiri was more of something for social media than a real adult beverage. The wings are excellent as are the fries. I've never had entrees here, but the burgers look excellent. All in all, Fat Tuesday is a solid choice for an evening out in Tempe! read more

Had the bourbon burger and it was excellent. I will go back just for that burger. I did not care for the music plus there was another restaurant bar next-door that was playing music too. Not very enjoyable read more

Fat Tuesday - Tempe - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My first meal in Arizona in 22 years started here. I used to live in the Mesa area while going to school back in the 90's. We had an overnight layover after vacationing in Mexico and decided to stop in Phoenix instead of Dallas. And when there is free time, it's all about the food! As I searched the Tempe area on Yelp, Fat Tuesday popped up. Looked at the menu and was sold as I love Southern food. Plus, they're located on infamous Mill Avenue, an area I wanted to show my spouse. ATMOSPHERE: ID was required to enter at dinner time. I thought they were a restaurant but they're more of a bar, so the absence of little ones was nice. Inside lighting was dim, with a mix of bar seats, low and high tops. Covered front patio seating looked onto Mill Ave. while rear patio seating sported backyard-style furniture and tables under colorful string lights. Daiquiri machines lined the back of bar. A live DJ spun and music pumped throughout the eatery. The vibe is young and fun. MENU: Southern-influenced bar-style apps, pasta, sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers, desserts, daiquiris, beer, wine, sangria. BEVERAGE: Creamsicle Daiquiri - $9.00 (large) OMG, this was absolutely delish! After ordering my boring white wine, my spouse said to take a sip of the daiquiri. I immediately canceled the wine. I guess they're known for their cornucopia of flavors, apparent from the lengthy menu. The daiquiri was thick and icy, and tasted just like a creamsicle popsicle. Being dubbed with their 190 Octane moniker, it also included a bit of Everclear, oh yeah. Because we were having dinner elsewhere, I sadly only had one. FOOD: Alligator Nugs - $15.00 Yup, this was real alligator meat inside and it was really good. The texture was just as the server described - a mix between chicken and fish. The "nugs" were breaded, deep-fried and were insanely moist and tender. We opted for Cajun fries which had a nice kick to them. I preferred ranch dressing to their remoulade sauce for dipping. Highly recommended! Wings - $11.50 (10-pieces) The Cajun dry rub had a spice level of 3 on a 5-scale. While mostly savory, there was a bit of sweetness in the rub that I wish wasn't there, but, I finished all of it. The wings were cooked perfectly crispy with fairly juicy insides. A seriously great deal for normally pricey wings. Ranch and blue cheese dressings were tasty accompaniments. SERVICE: The bouncer checking ID's was friendly. It's seat yourself so we chose a table in the rear patio. Lexi was our server and greeted us shortly after sitting. I thought we wouldn't receive good service due to her young age but she was great. She answered all of our questions, checked on us often and was very professional. OVERALL: What a great find! Fun vibe, tasty daiquiris, good food. read more

I got the chili carnitas fries. They were good but not excellent and kinda small for the price. What truly sucked was the service. We got our food, and we were never checked on again. Completely ignored by the female staff. Never checked how our food was or fill our drinks. The two tables near us were checked on several times. It's not like we were out of the way... They had to walk past us to them. Then, I waited and waited for our bill. And waited and waited. All during the arts festival on a Friday. They weren't busy. And waited and waited. Writing this review while waiting for the bill. So we definitely will not be back. read more

A shell of the daiquiris you love. Not sure where to begin with this, but it is really a testament to the product that I would ever step foot in here more than once intentionally. There are a lot of really great places to hang out and get your buzz on in tempe, especially on Mill avenue, but this is the only place that hassles you at the door and acts like it is busy even when it is not. But don't worry, it will take just as long to get service regardless of how few people are in there! As someone who has been to the original New Orleans fat Tuesdays, the only similarity you'll find at this Mill avenue location is the feeling of half-dried bourbon juice sticking to your shoes with each step. Music will be blaring so that you can't hear someone right next to you, and the lackadaisical service has been consistent. I really want to say something positive in every review I leave, so I suppose I recommend the 190 octane? It's delicious, but I suppose it's not too tough to mix a powder with everclear. It'll get your motor revving for sure though! read more

This is exactly what it looks like, go for the drinks, and to have a good time with friends. I'm a big fan of slushy drinks, so for that I'm always in. I didn't get any food because why? Look around their specialty is drinks. read more

I loved my first time at Fat Tuesdays! The nachos were delicious, the service was amazing, and the music had nonstop hits! Our server Ariel was amazing. She was patient and informative by explaining the menu and suggesting products that we ended up trying! I would definitely go back and try to request her. Bacardi stopped by and was handing out free shots and merchandise. Overall, 5/5 stars! I would definitely go back and hit the happy hour next time! read more
