If Yelp gave 1/2 stars, this would be a 3 1/2. Fatburger is a good Saturday standby. I enjoyed my lettuce wrapped (yes, I'm that person) California burger with no mayo. The beef patty was juicy and well seasoned, covered in melty cheese with sliced tomato, a blanket of crispy bacon on a generous serving of mashed avocado all enveloped in a GIANT lettuce wrapping. Hubby had a bourbon burger (he said it was ok) and shared his fries with me (that was part of our vows, love honour and share your food). Also, I really dig the fancy shmancy pop machine with the huge variety of flavours...co cool! read more

Fatburger - Fries,Patty,veggies,bread bun. - Burgers Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Very good and friendly service. Deep fried pickles are great. Burger was not hot and too much salt added. Ambience is Fat Burger.

After come here a lot, and seeing what the hype was about. It's just hamburgers. The couple of things i do like about Fatburger is that their burgers are cooked fresh, not greased like Mcdonalds. The burgers are big and they top it off with a generous amount of condiments. I was pretty hungry when i came to eat here, so i ordered the kingburger and got their chili cheese fries. The burger was fresh and juicy just the way they should be at restaurants, and the burger alone made me full. Now the chili cheese fries looked good, but they were salty, like it made me soo thirsty that i had to refill my drink 3 times just to finish them. Fatbuger isnt a place i would go out of way to come to, but once in a while the burgers are worth it. It's pretty pricey here and it gets extremely crowded during lunch and dinner hours which makes it hard to get a seat. read more

Having visited a couple of the other much loved made-to-order burger joints recently enough for a real comparison, I continue to be impressed. The meat is generous, the bun good and there are enough toppings options to keep most people happy. The burger is certainly worth the money. It may not be worth driving down to South Edmonton Common (the most poorly designed power centre in Canada) . Fries are thick cut and are somehow nothing special. Service can get a little slow on a busy day. It can be hard to find a place to sit. But it comes down to the burgers and they are a solid A. read more

Fatburger is located in South Edmonton Common, so quite a hike from where I normally hang out, but I have heard so much about the place I had to give it a try. So, during a south side shopping expedition we headed here for lunch. The place has a 50s diner feel to it. You order your food at the counter then wait for it to be brought to your seat. The line was moving more slowly than it should have, as only one till was open and there was some sort of problem. The lineup grew threefold before we finally got to order, and there were only two people ahead of us! Fatburger has burgers of different weights made from fresh Alberta beef, as well as chicken and turkey burgers. The combos start at around $10 and include the burger, fries, and a drink. Other menu items include milkshakes, onion rings, and chili fries. When you order certain items, the entire staff behind the counter calls it out in a sing-song fashion, which is cool at first but can start to grate if you eat your meal there. Our meals were brought to us within ten minutes. The burgers were extremely fresh and juicy, and easily the best either of us have had in a while. You can add cheese and/or bacon to your burger, and all come with a variety of condiments (I held the onions, though). The taste reminded me of the late and dearly missed Johnny Rockets at West Edmonton Mall. The fries were crispy and delicious, and the pop is bottomless. I would likely have given another star if we did not have to stand on line for so long, but if I happen to be in the area I would definitely head here again. read more

Great for a quick bite to eat. Burger fixings are fresh and the chicken tenders were both crispy and juicy. Burger came with a side of fries and I was able to choose two sides of dipping sauce for my tenders. Included were two celery sticks and carrot stick. Their milkshake is the best as it is fresh and not fake flavouring. This place is great for a date night and is accommodating to kids, they even have a treasure chest for kids to pick out prizes. Their bathrooms are quite clean and I noticed the restaurant was nicely organized and clean. Will definitely return for more burgers and shakes! read more

I like it and I don't like it. Inside it looks like an old school diner, something out of the movie Grease. You order your food and then everyone working in the kitchen screams out your order in unison, you get a number, find a seat, and they bring your food to your table. I was kind of waiting for them to break into a song and dance. The idea behind fatbuger is original and refreshing to see. What I don't like about this place is that their food is pretty much stuff I feel like I could make myself on the BBQ at home. So I never have a desire to go here just for the food. If you like to check out original things, give it a go. read more

Fatburger definitely has the best burgers I've tasted since Red Robin (yes, I like Red Robin. People don't seem to like it here in Edmonton for some reason). I think the combo meals are priced well for the quality of food that you're getting. As Paula K. mentioned, they start from about $10 upwards. I'm cool with paying that. The burgers here are truly delicious. I really can't think of many places in Edmonton that has better burgers. The only problem is that the place gets extremely packed on weekends since there are so many shoppers over at South Edmonton Common. read more

Fatburger - Burgers Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

10 PM on a Saturday night and we needed some greasy eats. I was in the mood for pasta but Michael J wouldn't negotiate, so we found the nearest burger place still open that wasn't super gross fast food. Fatburger is fast food, but it's fresher and grilled to perfection. So the sign says, at least. I do like the decor, kind of old diner style. The food was alright. Definitely a better choice than the nearest McDonald's, but it didn't blow me away. My chicken sandwich was fully cooked and the lettuce wasn't that gross chopped up fake kind you find at Subway, but the flavour was just lacking overall. I appreciated the friendly staff, especially since it was kind of late on a Friday night - I'm sure they wanted to close soon. Extra points for being licensed! read more

This place is highly overrated. I don't find these burgers to be all that fantastic at least not for the amount of people that were waiting in line and the overflowing tables. It was so busy that we had to hover over tables to get one. And that phenomenon isn't new. I've done Fatburger before and it was the same way. I didn't get it then and I don't get it now. It's not a fantastic burger for the price. Yelp 30 Day Challenge: 15/30 read more

I really don't where all the hype is coming from for FAT BURGER we came in here tonight to find out?? And really where is the FAT BURGER!!!! I find this place exceptionally expensive for a burger and onion rings or fries whatever you prefer. I like the theme , the 50's diner type. But -But- Where's The BEEEEEFFFFFFF. You Know, from now on I'll stick to what I like and I'm not going to listen to all the hype. I'm Stick en to HARVEY's they really do know how to make a hamburger a BEAUTIFUL THING :) read more

When I first noticed this place, I thought, 'Wow, Fatburger. Now that sounds really good.' Then I saw the sign they had set up outside. It said, 'Voted for best burger in Vancouver.' Then I thought that this place must be awesome. So I walked in, and I was kind of put off by the atmosphere--a very 1950s burger joint kind of vibe. This would be cool, except it was very modernized and gimmicky, so I wasn't feeling it. Well, I wasn't going to judge the place on its atmosphere, I mean, it was voted for best burger, after all. I am not big on beef, so I ordered a chicken burger, and my friend had the beef. I thought it was cool that they also offered a turkey burger--that is something you don't see very often. For two combos with fries and drinks, it came out to almost $20. After you pay and get your drinks, you sit and wait for them to bring your food out to you. It did take a while to come, but that's because they make the burgers fresh. I'd say this place is kind of in between a fast-food restaurant and a regular sit-down restaurant. When the food finally arrived, I was presented with large chicken burger, openly wrapped in paper that looked a lot like the burgers at Red Robin's. After a few bites, I was already wondering what the big deal was about Fatburger. For some reason, the bun seemed kind of old to me--it was not good. And the rest of the burger itself was not very flavourful. I had a bite of my friend's beef burger, and I had the same reaction. (To be honest, Red Robin's burgers are better, and they don't cost much more.) The fries, however, were good. They had some tasty seasoning salt you could sprinkle on--again, just like Red Robin's. The ketchup came in those paper cups, only bigger, so it was easier to get more ketchup on your fries. (Finally, the ketchup dilemma solved!) Overall, the food was underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it was only okay. Seriously, what is the big deal about this place? Why is it so popular in the States? How did it get voted for best burger? Someone please enlighten me! I might go back to try those onion rings, but I think I'll pass on their burgers from now on. read more

Good burgers, but a little over-priced for what you get. Fatburger is definitely a large step above the drive thru fast food joints (McDonald's etc). The burgers are large, really fresh tasting, with real identifiable toppings. The fries and onion rings are ok, but nothing great. They do have amazingly great milkshakes though. The 50's diner decor is cool, and I like that the service is a mixture of fast food and sit down. My complaint with Fatburger is the price. I am definitely up for paying more for quality, but for the amount a burger, fries, and drink end up coming to at Fatburger - it seems like you might as well go to a full sit-down restaurant. If they priced things in between McDonald's and a place like Earls, then I would definitely like this place a lot better. read more

I'm really of two minds about this place. On the one hand, I like the idea that you can have a fried egg as an option on your burger and the hand-dipped shakes are to die for. On the other hand, the beef itself isn't that good. The patties are generous and a single burger is plenty of food, but the beef really isn't that good. It's not that it's inferior meat, it's that it's lean/fat ratio is too lean. A really good burger is first the lean/fat ratio and then how it's cooked (flame broiled being the best). Fatburger's burgers are, ironically, too lean. Basically, the more fat, the more flavour. Too much fat though and it's too greasy to eat. Fatburger's particular mix is simply too lean for my taste; I feel that I get a lot to chew but it doesn't taste juicy or beefy enough for me to think of it as really good, and since these burgers are on the pricey side, it's not worth the money. The thing too is that there are way better burgers for less in town: Red Robin, Milestones, Rodeo Burger. I really wanted to like this place (Did I mention you can get them to put a fried egg on it?), but a burger is about beef and beef should be about flavour. There just isn't enough of it for the $10/$12 they want for it. read more

I went here because I bought a groupon that got me 2 meals for the price of $15. We weren't allowed to get any special burger but just their ordinary classic one. I liked the decor, as it was like a retro diner, very cute. However as I sat down to bite into my burger, it was bland and tasteless. I am glad I never went here without that groupon. I can not imagine paying $30+ for 2 meals/2 people. This is completely absurd. The burgers were big, but there was nothing that was so amazing about the flavour - and burgers are one of my favourite foods! Nothing was great about the food and nothing smacked me in the face like "THIS FOOD, PLACE AND EXPERIENCE IS WORTH THE $$!!" Nope, my bf and I vowed never to come here again. We will stick with our DQ (in the hamptons only lol). I swear people only continue to come here because they like to think a $15 burger must be the best. Not from here! read more

Fatburger, oh how you both delight and cause me to despair at the same time. For a fast food joint the burgers are extremely tasty. Always nice and juicy and never too dry. The fries (chips to me) are never too soggy either. The despair - and the reason for the dropped star - the price. Not for the individual patties - $8 for the standard Fat Burger is more than reasonable. It's the price of the combo, to go from the aforementioned $8 to $15 is a tad excessive. In short - buy the burgers (scrumptious) but wander over to NYF for your side :) read more

Fatburger...yes Fat and Burger in the same name. Need I say more. Seriously not to bad of a place, I would say a bit more pricier than your golden arches. Its pretty good having the whole HAPPY DAYS feel to the place. Venue wise its not that big and it can get quite crowded. Ok...for you adventurous people out there this may sound weird, but have you ever had a burger with a sunnyside up egg inside. Oh man...it is so good. Fat burger was not the first place that I had tasted this concoction. It was another restaurant, but Fat Burger gives you different add-ons to your burger. You have your usual lettuce, tomato, pickle, etc. But if you get a chance have an egg added to the burger...SO GOOD! Fat Burger...food was average. There was a lot of hype when I heard they were bringing this American food joint in Edmonton. It was ok. read more

This was the first fat burger I visited in Edmonton when I moved here and I have returned every so often when I am in the neighborhood. I usually have the mushroom Swiss burger. It is probably close to my favorite burger. So tasty and filling fries are almost not required. But they have good fries or you can get them topped with chilli and cheese or get yam fries. Milkshakes are good too, but I can't understand why some places put whip cream on top of a milk shake. Seems like dairy on dairy is overkill, but on the other hand, it's whip cream read more

Went to the South Edmonton Common Fat Burger on Saturday May 2, 2015 and could not have been less impressed with the Restaurant. We received our Milkshakes 5 minutes after our food had arrived the Restaurant was so cold that literally everyone in the restaurant was wearing their coats. Tables stayed dirty for the whole time we were in there without being cleared - even though staff continually walked by the tables. Music was so loud I could barely hear my wife talking. The TVs in the restaurant have such bad "snow" they are almost unwatchable. We tipped the cashier when paying for food and from my prior visits to Fat Burger I know they are supposed to thank you for tipping - that did not happen. Like I said - couldn't have been less impressed. Buffalo Chicken Tenders were great, the Milkshakes were great, burgers tasted extremely salty. Won't be going back to this location ever. Five Guys is continuing to gain my business. read more

Like the diner vibe but felt it was a little over priced for a burger joint. That being said it's nice getting a fast food burger and having it come out with lots of toppings and a fluffy bun. I had the veggie burger with fries last time, it was great but the taste of the veggie burger was overpowered by the pickles. I also don't like that they don't have ketchup on the table. Overall it was okay, likely not the best veggie burger in town. I also noticed a sign for beer and margaritas...I will probably come back again as it's a step up from the regular fast food joint. read more

Nicest staff and best fast food customer service in the city. Period. Always impressed with their courtesy, kindness, efficiency and cheerfulness. The food is satisfying comfort food and the shakes are the second best chain-restaurant milkshakes I've ever had. Try the salted caramel milkshake, it's perfect... and the traditional turkey burger. I get cravings for it. read more

Another satisfactory lunch at Fatburger. As usual, the experience was pleasant, the service prompt and the food was both filling and good. The issue that I have is, at this price point, I expect something more. I want to be wowed by something to justify the cost of the meal- great service, an exceptional burger, ambience that stuns you. Still, a good place for lunch but not on the list of must go to places for me. read more

The quality of the meat in the patties is a step or two above the fast food chains. The toppings are pretty fresh and plentiful. The prices are a little steep for what you get. For a cheeseburger, fries and milkshake is going to cost you over 15.00 and closer to 20.00 if you have add ons like bacon and/or guacamole. The staff do make a good effort in being polite with the niceties like coming to your table to see if you are happy with your meal and correcting it if there is something wrong. They always say goodbye as you are leaving which is more than you will get at most burger joints. I always get a chuckle when I give a tip and the waitress announces "Fat Tip" and the kitchen says "thank you" in unison even when its a skinny tip. read more

I went here for lunch today. Thank God I didn't have much to do in afternoon, can you say food coma! I had the New Yorker burger, the larger size with bacon. This feature includes a very healthy dose of pastrami meat. Not a big fan of pastrami! The food came out pretty quick, as I think we missed the lunch rush. So not a fan of "American cheese"! Imagine cheese quiz, just a little thicker. If you go with a friend, I suggest sharing a side, cuz you get a lot of burger, which fell apart as I ate it, too much mayo. All in all, it's fast food, but better than mcd. If you go during lunch you better get a quad espresso from a near by coffee shop, cuz your toast if you don't. read more

I love Fattyburger and I come here often. I always make sure to get my Big Fat Club Card stamped- buy 7 fattyburgers and get one free! Whew! Fattyburger has no problem lettuce wrapping my burger- I even get a knife and fork! I can also get free additional toppings like banana peppers and deli pickles. The Hawaiian burger is okay. . .it has pineapple and bacon. . .but I really love the California burger that has bacon, guacamole and some kind of cheese. I have now taken a break from the California burger and I have tried the Bacon Lovers burger and it is soooo good. I don't know why love Fattyburger so much! (^_^) read more

This place is a little over the top-- but damn do they make good burgers. Upon walking in, this place sort of looks like a 50s diner, it reminded me of one of my faves - Route 99- mixed with red robin or something. But then you hear the yelling. This place works like a assembly line of military personelle, all shouting out the orders back and forth in a loud monotone voice. Once the yelling is complete and the food hits my table, I was pretty impressed. An awesome burger joint close to my house? What a hit! They also sell beer here, which surprised me because it didn't quite seem to "fit." One tip is that this place can get pretty busy from the shopping crowds in South Edmonton Common, especially on the weekends. Try off peak hours, like later or earlier in the afternoon. read more

Nothing special AT ALLLL!!! it reminds me of harveys, dont expect the fatburger you get in california....the prices are absolutely ridiculous as its a $10+ for a combo...save your money and goto a better place like rodeo burger, for the prices here i rather goto red robin or even dennys burgers read more

I absolutely love that they now have mini dougnuts! They serve them with a warm caramel sauce which is excellent for dipping. I was there on Tuesday during the lunch hour and it was packed! I ordered a baby fat with fries and a drink. Overall it was decent; and I appreciate that their drinks come with free refills. Despite the fact that thier food is good, I find it overpriced. They no longer offer reasonable combos. There is only one combo option, a giant burger, and even then it is only available on Tuesday. That made it 27.00+ for two people to eat. Overall I prefer Five Guys Burger and Fries. read more

Went to Fatburger today. I admit, I've been to Fatburger on a handful of prior occasions. On my last one, however, I was trying to use my groupon that I had bought. The female at the cash was so rude, though. She was like "give me your phone" or "you didn't turn your wifi on" and just had a stuck-up tone the whole time. On top of that, we upgraded the burgers: on one burger, we got 1 extra patty, and the other burger, we got bacon, and some bacon marmalade (to resemble their new bacon burger, which ended up being too sweet and gross). We also got a small drink. This costed us $9 extra! The food was quite good, apart from the gross sweet marmalade that they put on their burger. The patties were big and juicy and their ingredients were fresh - exactly what I look for in a burger. Personally, I like the taste of classic burgers with a good hunk of meat and lots of veges, and fatburger is the place to go. It is a bit pricey for burgers, but definitely better than mcds will ever provide. read more

It's edible, but I honestly don't know what the big hype is all about. It's crazy expensive and bland. You can go and sit down at Hudson's and get an amazing burger for less than Fatburger. I just don't get it. read more

Very good old fashioned burgers. Love the fact they do not use any filler and are gluten free, when lettuce wrapped. I only wish their fries were gluten free but that's the trade off. Always had good friendly service, we visit this location about 2-3 x a month. read more

King burger is amazing. Onions rings are bland unless you put the flavor shake on them.

I've tried Fat Burger once and didn't notice anything special about them. The burger looked like something I could make at home.. The meat was tasteless to me. I am not sure if that is just how they are made or the cook forgot to put in some spices. This place just seems really hit or miss to me. Some people love it to death.. While others won't come waste their money here again. I'm in the middle though. Id come here again with friends who want to try it. I will not tell you "not" to try it. I will actually recommend you go and try it actually. Only because all the people I talk to love it. Buddy of mine loves the Mushroom Swiss Melt there! So I gotta recommend that! Try it :) read more

this is the second time in a row that our service has not been good, our meals did not come together, mine was cold so they made me a new Burger, it came without the cheese that I had paid for and my wife ordered scrambled eggs and hers came over easy, when they redid her order the toast and sausage was cold. Wil. Not be going back. read more

All in all, I thought Fatburger was all right. Being a vegetarian, I may not have a full view of their menu, but they did have a nice veggieburger. Not stellar, but all right. The rest of the menu was good, and the milkshake was really, really good. The downside is that it was pretty expensive for fast food. It seemed really fun inside, with the youthful staff joking around but still professional enough to know they take the food seriously. I'd go back if I was in that part of town, but wouldn't drive far to go. read more

I had a groupon for 2 fries and cheeseburgers. We both paid for bacon and guacamole - which cost more than $5, even though there was a sign that said pick 2 for $2. One of them didn't come with the guac and we didn't eat in to get it fixed. The burgers weren't very good, the shredded lettuce made a huge mess and my patty completely fell apart. It's not cheap, and there are fast food restaurants with much better burgers, faster service, and better prices. read more
