The garlic chicken here is so good! We ordered a regular plate to share and it was more than enough! The staff were nice and service was fast. The shop inside is small so you just order your food and there's seating outside. This place is Perfect for picking up food before you go to the beach! They have a lot of options on the menu. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Payed with Apple Pay. Money was pulled from my apple wallet and i had the receipt. Said it was declined on their end despite me having a receipt on my phone of money being transferred. Told them this repeatedly but they didn't care. Was working and didnt have time to go somewhere else, so had to pay twice. Nice job Fatboys read more

Went here on a Wednesday night for dinner with a party of 6. There was no line so we were able to get our food quickly! The staff were very friendly and helpful too! I ordered the Teriyaki Ribeye! It normally comes with macaroni salad too but I opted out because I have some food allergies so I just got an extra side of rice instead! The beef was very tender and it was thinly sliced. The teriyaki sauce was sweet, savory, and tangy. It was just right! I got the regular size and for the price you get a good amount too! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Absolutely most disgusting food I've had on island barely edible and such a waste of time and money going here

Wanted to give this place a shot but it just wasn't great ! The service can use improvement and the food tasted stale just not the freshest ! I went with a large group (8 people) and there's nothing I can say that was delicious the food filled us up but we all agreed that we would most likely not recommend this place. Two stars because it was not disgusting it just wasn't quality food ! read more

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. read more

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. read more

We got the garlic chicken it was so good it was fresh and in a delicious sweet sauce the people were nice

Do not order here. They use old rice that was hard, cabbage tossed salad, chicken and beef was dry. And they only gave 3 pieces of chicken. I wasted $18 by getting food here. Better off going to town side to get better plate lunches. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Fatboy's - Kailua Kalua Pig (Lunch & Dinner) - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

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. read more

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. read more

Very small place - ordered 4 bentos and wait about 20+ minutes. We did enjoy our warrior plate the most.

A health inspector might need to pay a visit to this restaurant. At first glance, the kitchen in the back appears to be extremely unclean and the ovens/grills appeared to have layers upon layers of grease. I ordered the garlic chicken, which came out at room temperature as it had been sitting out in the front window uncovered. Did not finish even half the meal, and was left feeling nauseated. I'm extremely surprised to see that this establishment is averaging 3 stars. I will not be returning- even to try other things on the menu. read more

Got the breakfast bento this morning... Garlic chicken, good, nice flavor. Spam and portuguese sausage were standard. Mahi was fine, wasn't furikake but still good. Opted for the fried rice wasn't a huge fan of the upgrade there. Overall, FILLING breakfast for under $12. Could have saved some for later as well. read more

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! read more

I had never been to this restaurant before, but it seems to be a favorite among locals. This time, I ordered the Kalua Pork Mini Bento. When you order, you can choose macaroni salad or salad. I ordered the Kahlua pork, so that I didn't hesitate to choose the macaroni salad. Even though it is a minibento, it has a good amount of food. One thing that bothered me was that even though the menu indicated that the Kahlua pork came with cabbage, it was only pork. The price is also reasonable. I thought it was very impressive that they were offering meals at reasonable prices even in Kailua. You can eat your lunch at the tables with parasols outside the restaurant, but Kailua Beach is nearby, eating your lunch on the beach is also recommended. read more

Had a great meal here. Curious why the bad reviews. I got their signature best dish, the garlic chicken. It was looking the best on Yelp. Didn't disappoint. I loved it because it's a ton of food for about $11. And there's a caramelized taste to the chicken. Really sweet but salty at the same time. Rice and Mac salad are great. Loved Siracusa and soy sauce with it all. Their bbq sauce isn't great. Good spot! read more

I did the My Pick2 and got garlic chicken and fried fish. It's a ton of food for $14.99 with two scoops of rice and mac salad to boot. The garlic chicken is the way to go here. It was flavorful, crisp and well cooked. The fried fish was nothing to write home about, and I wished the mac salad had more flavor or acid. Tasted like macaroni and mayonnaise were the only two ingredients. There is a outdoor patio with several tables but no inside seating. It was mostly couples getting a quick bite for lunch. Fat boys is just across the street from Times pharmacy. read more

Fatboy's - My pick 2 (garlic chicken and fried fish) - Burgers Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Don't get the spicy tobiko poke bowl. It tasted like it was made with rotten mayo. Gross.

Terrible!! I placed an online order at 5:30 PM and made payment online. Restaurant hours says it closes at 7 PM and my food is supposed to be ready by 6 PM. I got to the restaurant about 5:50 PM to pick up my food and it was CLOSED - all the lights were off and the doors were locked. So annoyed as this order was placed for some workers at a job site and I had to leave to pick up the food for them while bringing with me 4 little kids. Mind you, it's already a struggle getting all of them into the car and buckling all four of them just to unbuckle them to pick up the food, and walk up to the restaurant to find out that it's closed. Why does online even let you place an order if the restaurant is not open? End result, a bunch of hungry construction workers did not get dinner that night. This was embarrassing for me as it was my job to make sure food was provided in a timely manner before they left the job site. read more

I'm gonna start giving these places the reviews I think they deserve. You've LOST YOUR TOUCH. I use to love coming here but now it's a waste of money and time. In my opinion there's nothing they can do to improve at this point. Food has no FLAVOR. Prices are ridiculous and sad to the local people. 2.29 for a can of Hawaiian sun juice...$6 for garlic tots that's not even crispy and should be made to order but still they come out as if they were sitting there all day. I always loved the hamburger steak here cuz it's all homemade patties now barely any flavor say it with me SEASONING. The gravy tasted bland the worse I've ever had. Just don't waste your time coming here. You'll only be disappointed. Oh and if you love MUSHY ASS RICE this is the spot for you. For me it ruins my entire MEAL. Doesn't deserve a star at all. read more

Went here b/c L&L was closed. There was a line, one lady taking orders, prepping the plates and her husband cooking. She was moving the line quick but the when I watched her put the garlic chicken in the containers, is was different depending on who you were...local locals seem to get more, while tourist or people she thought were tourist (like me) just got a few pieces... I got the teri chix/garlic chix mix plate-I asked for no skin. What I got---fatty, tasteless teri chicken, SUPER fattyu garlic chix, plain/bland mac salad...and rice Dad got mini garlic chix What he got-plain/blan mac salad-fatty garlic chix We will just note that L&L is closed Monday's in Kailua Town and go to Enchanted Lakes for a GOOD plate lunch..... read more

i came for the garlic chicken: the food was initially yummy but upon further thought and after a full day of slight nausea and a bad visit to the bathroom, im convinced that the quality of the food was not good and cannot suggest. the rice was super mushy, chicken was dry. service was also lowkey rude. read more

i got teri chicken, which is chicken marinated in soy, ginger and garlic. It was so salty, they probably left it in soy sauce for days. Very easy concept for money hungry owners, whatever does not sell just keep it in marinade. For customers it is inedible piece of garbage saturated with salt. And complaining, forget about it. Woman in front of the store rude and threatening. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast and lunch spots and Kailua. I am a frequent visitor and I absolutely adore this place. It's quick and food is delicious. I have tried many dishes from here including aloha breakfast, empty da fridge rice, teriyaki burger, garlic fries, loco moco, garlic chicken, stew. None of them disappoint ! love that some of the menu comes in mini size as well. They have outdoor seating that's shaded which is also a plus. If you are visiting Kailua, make sure to stop here for some delicious brunch or lunch ! read more

I know covid restrictions has done some real damage to all of our local businesses so I'm going to try and be a gentle as I can. The food here hasn't been as good as it used to be. The customer service is always good, the lady that works the front is always pleasant. The portions are almost half of what it used to be. The quality of ingredients is sub par. I know Fatboy's has closed 2 locations in the last 3 years. That's rough. Kailua location is the worst one I've been to. I used to love the Haleiwa location but that's gone now. Kalihi location was pretty decent too but that is also gone. I'm sorry for the bad review but I have been let down the last 3 times I ate here. read more

This is almost like a little mom and Pop shop. I know there's other fat boys on this island but the employees here treat you like family. Don't be surprised if they give you a little extra if you're nice read more

Came to the north shore to do some surfing and decided to stop for breakfast before going into the ocean. This place was nearby both the beach and the "stairway to heaven". Got French toast and also tried the Hawaiian breakfast of hamburger patty and egg. Both were amazing. Again, couldn't sit inside (March 2022) because of Covid so sat in the Jeep. Def recommend! read more
