    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

    I'm dropping my stars on this review. Every time we've been here it's always been great, however this time was a little disappointing. The appetizers were great as always but a couple of our entrees were subpar this time. I got the steak Gorgonzola, the sauce was very light so I asked if I could have a little extra, she said no problem. I didn't get it until after I had my food boxed up and ready to take home. She ended up bringing it in a little bag so didn't get chance to look at it. When I did get a chance to eat it, it didn't even look like the sauce was the same as what is supposed to be on it. They also charged an extra 1.50 for it. The steak didn't taste good either. The garlic toast had way too much butter and didn't even taste any garlic. My husband ordered the beef stroganoff, they gave him someone else's food and gave the other person his food. They took the meal away that they served him and said they'd get the correct order out to him. He asked for it to go since everyone else was finished with their food. When he got it home, they had taken the meat off the wrong order and put it on this order. Wasn't even the correct type of meat that belonged on it and he also said it did not taste good.

    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.

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

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!

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.

    Been a regular at this location for the past 3 years or so. Not sure if it's been a management…read morechange...but the last few months, this place has taken a total dive. I'd never had a bad meal prior to this, but food quality has TANKED... this evening our food took FOREVER, and when I finally came, mine was cold and the chicken was super dry, and my Wife's was super hot, and obviously just prepared. The staff and bartenders are always on point, but it's becoming more and more evident at the lack of competent management, and any minuscule form of quality control. It's been consistently getting bad...but tonight was hands down the worst restaurant experience we've had in over a decade. Please fire them all and start over. Competent Management and quality control are non-existent. It's a shame. We used to love this place. (Your staff is the only reason this is worded so nicely)

It comes topped with bacon, gunslinger mayo, pepper jack cheese, and jalapeños on a cheddar jalapeño bun--he said it had the perfect level of spice. He paired it with the Cajun garlic fries, which he couldn't stop raving about--they're seriously to die for. I went with the Caesar salad topped with Cajun chicken, and it was absolutely terrific--fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. The atmosphere inside has a sports bar vibe, with plenty of TVs and a great selection of specialty drinks.
