    Garlic Chicken
    Kirby D.

    A local favorite. We were an across the street at Starbucks and asked the barista for a recommendation for lunch. He quickly recommended Fatboys as a place locals go. You can often find trays of the Garlic Chicken at local Hawaiian gatherings from Fatboys. Let me see if I can channel my inner local, "you want the grindz bruddah, Fatboys got the kind" We had the Garlic Chicken. Crispy, amazing flavors and juicy, can best describe the deliciousness that is the Garlic chicken. Served with the traditional rice and Mac, it was Hawaiian perfection. With outdoor seating, Fatboys is a great place to grab a bite. You may even be greeted by the local "free range" chickens.

    Mini Garlic Chicken Plate ...
    Teri N.

    Walked in at the right time ... order a mini garlic chicken plate like I always do ... haven't had this for at least 8 years! It's still very good! There was either 6 or 8 pieces of chicken perfectly fried then coated with just the right amount of sauce. One scoop of rice and one scoop of Mac salad. Winner winner chicken dinner!! Love this place from the time he first opened to now!

    Stumbled across this place and here goes Very good pricing for Hawai'i Food was fairly good (I got the loco moco) Service was fast but oddly not very friendly. Not sure if because we are haole. Was funny when I walked back in to thank them and tell her we enjoyed the food. Not sure she expected that. Seating is outside so if very hot be advised. Would go back again.

    The most popular item, garlic chicken. Crispy, big chunky pieces of chicken, and most of all the flavor was hella good. I wasn't feeling the Mac salad tho. Good price, quick service, would go back for the same plate.

    Kalua Moco Plate

    Not many parking spots outside. They do have a bathroom tho but you have to ask for the key. Hole in the wall interior. You order and then sit outside. No indoor seating. Food was quick. Didn't get much meat on my plate. Gravy was delicious. But most of the food was all rice. Plate was 13.60$. Nothing amazing. I could find this back in the bay.

    Got hungry on my roadtrip so we stopped here! Wanted something local, fast and small. Opted for Fatboy's bento and it was right on point! Good service, nice little spot compared to other places in the area great value and good portion!

    Kailua Kalua Pig (Lunch & Dinner)

    Kailua pig/pork was good, Mac salad not so much - Mac salad was not normal Hawaiian Mac salad , very unseasoned Service was quick and friendly! Environment was clean.

    Regular size plates. Garlic chicken/teriyaki beef combo and katsu plate.

    Parking is hit or miss due to competing venues but there's a huge lot at Target within walking distance so we parked there. Always a line but moves relatively smooth. I had the Gaelic chicken, teriyaki beef combo and some katsu chicken too. The garlic chicken is really good but I got a lot of fried crisp that lacked meat on some parts. The beef flavor was unique and compliments the rice but quite salty. The plates come with rice and mac salad but even eating that didn't completely fill me up and I got the regular, not the mini. I'll be back to try some more food because although, it wasn't filling, it was tasty.

    Loco moco
    Crystal A.

    We decided to get dinner from here since we were on this side of the island. I got the garlic chicken and roast pork plate. It was horrible! The roast pork was so bland- no flavor at all even with the gravy, it was like brown gravy but no taste too. Onions were raw on one side then burnt on the other. The rice was so mushy! The two stars is solely for the garlic chicken- lots of flavor and crunchy when I ate it. My husband got the loco moco and it wasn't that great. The hamburger was hard and the gravy had no taste. Not sure if I'll give them another try. Parking in front or in the back of the restaurant. We had to park in the back since there was no parking in front.

    Instant saimin for 50 bucks
    Kalai F.

    Called in an order for garlic chicken and fried saimin. Pikup was in an hour or so.. Both were small orders. I figured according to the pics on their yelp page it be like 30 sum bucks each. Total was 105 dollars! Dayum inflation is f'real! Upon getting to the party less than a mile away. Chicken was already soggy and pretty crappy tasting. Im not sure if they changed the recipe but its not the same as when they first opened. The next dish... Fried Saimin.‍ who the heck maked fried noodles with instant saimin? Wtf???? This was the crappiest fried saimin ever! And it was fifty bucks! Fat boys is just out in my books.

    I lived here 8 years ago. Coming back to visit this was the once place I knew I needed to come back to. The garlic chicken is as good as ever, and the Mac salad and rice just complete its perfectness. Thanks for the smiles from the staff when we entered, and such a relaxing outside space to eat! Keep it up y'all, best in town!

I ordered the combo seafood plate with teriyaki chicken. My wife got some fried noodle with chicken plate. We really loved my plate, which had a fried fish cutlet and 4 fried shrimp plus the chicken.

Noodles lacked flavor and the chicken as well. The portions are honestly huge for one person. If you plan to eat hurt for a quick bite, I recommend sharing the combo plates.

Yeah, I didn't eat much because it had no taste! The only thing had taste was the katsu sauce. The Mac salad, was just mayonnaise with macaroni. This was my first and last time at this place!!!

Crazy how slow this fast food was! I then tried to cancel but it wouldn't let me and said picked up. So they must be hitting the pic up button so their times aren't affected, but def cheating their system. When I went to ask for the manager becasue I couldn't cancel, the lady comes with my order.... Not 20 mins later. I'd rather they be honest and and BS their paying customers who are paying their wage. Def don't recommend this spot and so sad that they can't get their crap together.
