Their prices are reasonable and the food is good! The service is normally good as well but sometimes of course they do get busy.

The friendly, cheerful, attentive service at the bar was the star here. I also liked the modern, spacious, clean and nice interior with plenty of TVs and rollup doors for access to the nice patio area. Unfortunately, the $6.25 well drink price was excessive. Thankfully, they offer a daily happy hour and food and drink specials. Overall, it's a very nice stop during happy hour.

6/23/25 Parking 5/5 Plenty of spaces at 2 pm. We parked near the front. Ambiance 5/5 Classic Sports Bar. Always clean and casual atmosphere. We arrived off peak and the dining room was quiet. Music was playing at an appropriate background level which was nice, in fact we started playing guess that tune as a variety of 80's & 90's songs played. Service 4/5 Our server was the only one duty covering two dining rooms. Despite her being challenged she moved like an Olympic Ice Skater. She took our Drink and starter orders. Seemed like just a few minutes our order arrived. Food 3/5 My wife ordered her bacon Brussels. Which she chose as her entree. They had a perfect char and are still some of the best we've enjoyed anywhere! I ordered the deep fried Zucchini. It was served with the typical ranch dressing, served hot and delicious! My Steak Fajitas entree arrived perfectly timed as I finished the Zucchini. The skillet was not sizzling and contents were floating in water. I should have returned them but instead hunger overruled common sense. The skillet was barely warm but the food smelled good. I loaded a corn tortilla and took my first bite. The stake flavor was good, nicely seasoned. The vegetables were cooked thoroughly but the dish fell short of great due to the water content and improper skillet temperature. Truth be told my order was influenced by another customers skillet passing near us and it was sizzling as you would expect it to and the aroma was deliciously intoxicating. I wish that was my order. Parting comments The kitchen fell short and the server should never allowed a low temperature skillet come to our table. The cause was management allowing an understaffed server crew that resulted in my order sitting too long. If the Kitchen or manager notices an order sitting they should pull it back or step in and help get it to the customer. $53.25 Eat well my friends- SYOY

Lots of inside seating options

My daughter had a cheer competition on Saturday during the ASU Big12 Championship Game. I was looking for a sports bar near the competition site to watch the game in between her performances. Fat Willy's was 2 min away...I was sold! Now, with that said....... GO DEVILS!!! Yes!!! Ahem, back to the review.... Not many places have Non-Alcoholic Guinness, this place does which was a bonus. I happily washed down a basket of onion rings with a few while watching ASU throttle Iowa State both offensively and defensively. The service was great and checked on me a few times during my visits back and forth from the cheer competition. The onion rings were good and the chipotle ranch was perfect for them. Over all, it was a great experience and I'll be back. Fun Fact: ASU has scored more TD's in ATT Stadium (one game) than the Cowboys have scored there all season :) On a scale of 1 - 10, I will always remember eating at Fat Willy's and watching ASU win the Big12 Championship and making the College Football Playoffs until the day I die. I'm also superstitious...I'll watch all ASU away games there from now on. Go Devils!!

We had a party of over 10 people. The customer service was spot on. Our drinks were never empty. Everyone's food was awesome. I gave them 5 stars as over all it's awesome. Very clean.

Avocado Toast

This restaurant always has good food! Great breakfast spot. Menu has plenty of options.

This is the replacement omelet and it was over loaded with meat. So good

7/17/26 Lunch…read more Parking 5/5 Arrived at 11:45ish and surprisingly parked near the front. Atmosphere 5/5 Sports bar, Tap house and grill. Lots of fun things to take in on the walls. Screens everywhere so you don't miss your sports action. Big fan hangout on game days and there is always a good crowd enjoying themselves. Service 5/5 Today service was great, we had the place almost to ourselves . I can't recall that happening before. Claryn L was our "personal" server today. She was friendly, attentive getting our drinks a starter right away. Two iced teas and the Queso cup with chips. For entrees we ordered the TC Classic sliders, a New Mexico Burger with side salad and both entrees came with classic Fries. Food (5/5) The delicious Queso and chips was a great diversion until our lunch arrived. My side salad was fresh and just the right size without spoiling the appetite before the entrees arrived. The sliders are always a good choice and my New Mexico Burger was fantastic. Great cheese and Green Chilies on a perfectly cooked patty. I've tried all their burgers it's a nice lineup! The Resturant started picking up as we were leaving. M $69.63 with tip. Be it game day, beer day or meetup for a meal day, Uncle Bear's Grilling something my friends-SYOY!

We were disappointed by our experience at this location. After being seated, we waited about 10…read moreminutes and were never greeted by a server, offered water, or acknowledged by any staff member. The restaurant wasn't busy at the time, which made the lack of service even more confusing. What made this especially disappointing is that a similar thing happened to us about four years ago. We decided to give the restaurant another chance, hoping our previous experience was just a one-time issue, but unfortunately we encountered the same problem again. We genuinely like supporting local businesses and would much rather be leaving a positive review. However, being completely overlooked after being seated is frustrating and not the experience we expect when dining out. We hope management addresses these service issues so future customers have a better experience.
