Thinking about eating somewhere to catch a game? Try Fatbacks
Rhett B.

Fatback's has been opened for a few years. In the past before I joined Yelp!, I had the pepper jelly BBQ pork sandwich that I picked up and was impressed with it. However, I never came back because at one time, it had only a 2 and half star rating, plus Full Moon BBQ is like my favorite BBQ joint. My brother picked Fatback's for his birthday so we went! Fatback's is in a strip besides Winn Dixie. Some people don't like that about BBQ joints but I have never had trouble with that. The atmosphere looks like a good place to catch a football game as there are a few TV's mounted high on both walls and football schedules below them. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet and brewed fresh so it was a good start. My entree was the brisket plate with deviled egg potato salad and sweet and smokey beans. I was surprised with how good all of it was. The brisket was tender with a good flavor and they gave me an excellent size portion. No stinginess here! The potato salad tasted like a deviled egg without the egg. Fantastic potato salad! The beans were very impressive....no canned beans here! Just like their name, they were sweet and smokey and never had any beans like them anywhere else. The brisket plate was $15....a good price and excellent size portions. Fatback's have 5 BBQ sauces that you have to request. I liked them all. My favorite was the vinegar. It was made from malt vinegar with some sweetness and spices added to it. But it didn't go well with the brisket. There was a mustard one, which was my least favorite. It was just too mustardy but it was ok. They had a sweet sauce which was ketchup based and my 2nd favorite. Then they had a house BBQ sauce in mild and hot. The house BBQ sauce is a tomatoey, tangy sauce. Where I'm conflicted about Fatback's is that I have heard and seen by some reviews, they charge for BBQ sauce. That automatically gets a star reduction for me. Why should I have to pay for BBQ sauce at a BBQ joint? But they did not charge me for the sauces at least this time. In my opinion, there are a lot of so-so BBQ joints in Dothan. But Fatback's separated themselves from the pack to claim 2nd (behind Full Moon). I will be back and hopefully not charged for BBQ sauce.

First time here and didn't disappoint. The fried steak bites were great and the fries were like grandma use to make. Great service!

Lunch was pretty good, but I was more expensive than it was worth. Not my favorite, but a big selection of burgers.

STAY AWAY! Tiny portions, sides that came straight out of the can... very disappointing for the price.
