First, great service. I forgot her name but from what I gathered she is always there providing friendly service. We ordered Spinach Dip as an appetizer. Both my wife and I felt it is the best we have had. Thank goodness it did not come with chips. Pita bread pairs well with the dip 2 pizzas, one half jalapeño and half Garlic and the other was a veggie pizza. The crust, sauce, and let me tell you, they do not skimp on toppings. Will be back for sure! read more

We've been to Fatman's several times and the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere will keep us coming back! I haven't had anything that wasn't worth reordering.

We stopped here for a late dinner while staying in the area. Service was friendly and fast, our waitress Diane was especially friendly and had us laughing all night. Our food came quick, and was better than expected. We were under the impression it would be classic bar food, but it exceeded our expectations. We stayed for drinks, which were strong and had us wanting to stay all night. There's several games and casino slots throughout the bar area. There also was live music outside. Wish we lived closer!! read more

Ordered an app and 2 sandwiches. The app tasted like it was fried in dirty oil or something was off. The 2 sandwiches came out wrong and we're sent back. These were 2 of the same sandwiches. One had a pickle with a small container of coleslaw. The other plate was missing a pickle and had about a tablespoon of coleslaw. The person taking the order seemed bothered that we had the nerve to order food. When time came to pay, I had to track the person down so I can pay and leave. There wasn't even a time that anyone came by and asked how the food was. Total one and done here! read more

Service was awful, sat and waited for a table because we weren't regulars we were seated last. I watched servers hide while this seated other the regular customers or larger group. Ribs were like leather. read more

Service was amazing. This sweet lady with red hair was so and asked me if i wanted blinds closed so the sun wasn't hitting my face. The pizza didn't really taste that good to me, but the wings were delicious. The setting of the place is your typical pizza pub with a twist of volleyball nets outside the bar. read more

Fat Man's. Well I have been a lake county resident for half a decade, and never stopped in. Glad I did. While we did have the red haired lady as a previous review, and, we also had pizza - thin crust. And also had the opposite experience. The service was good, but I'm weird. The pics was amazing. Also get the chocolate cake. We wow! The best parts were the pizza and the$4 beers. Fat Man's is a 10! read more

I just ordered food from Fatman's. I got chicken strips that were flat and tasteless and french fries that look like they've been sitting in the fryer all day. I ordered a salad. The lettuce was warm and wilted and the potato skins were awful. I live two minutes from fat man's And I paid $51 for this crap. You should be ashamed to deliver food that terrible read more

Fatman Pizza Pub - Fatman Thin Crust Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

We have been living in the area for a few years now and just got to visit Fatman's for the first time. How is that even possible? My husband and I went on a Thursday night to grab a quick bite and have a few drinks. We didn't even know it was bingo night, but what a great thing! I am so picky with my cosmos, and these ones were really good, not so sweet not so bitter. For food I got a basket with fried shrimp and chicken. This definitely could have been shared, it was huge and yummy. The hubby got his beers -passed the cold check - and ate the porker burger. That one was interesting bbq rubbed burger on a pretzel bun. Can't wait for the summer, they have a really nice patio and for what I heard some volleyball. We are happy we discovered a local cool bar nearby our place. See you in the next bingo night! read more

This was our first time ordering from this pizza place. My family and I all love some good pizza. We ordered through a delivery service. We ordered a pepperoni pan pizza. Let me tell you it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I primarily loved the crust. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was thick, flaky and soft on the inside. We'll definitely be ordering again. read more

We have lived in Lake county for almost 3 years and have always driven by Fatmans and never actually gone. We are KICKING ourselves because it was so great. We sat on the patio since we had the pup with us and they were so sweet to give him a water bowl. My husband got the "mother load" sandwich & I got the bbq chicken ranch wrap. Wow. So good! (They even have the good kind of ranch)Comes with fries & coleslaw. We can't wait to come back for some live music or even some volleyball!!! read more

Mike was very rude, asked for waters he never brought them and didn't check up on us, then charged us an additional $40 tip for himself, then on the way home see ANOTHER $100 charge, ridiculous. Just stealing money. USE CASH! read more

Always outstanding fish fry Pizza and barbecue. Very fast service excellent excellent food and very extensive menu.

First off, this drink!!!! Bring your big boy big girl pants!!! You know you have an adult beverage that's for sure. It's not overpowered with alcohol but I know it is not to be played with. The bacon wrapped shrimp were literally cover d in thick crispy bacon (plenty of bacon for my bacon lovers) didn't really touch the bed of rice much. I mean it's rice. Fries were good and crisp with the adequate amount of salt for me. Not too salty and not under salted. Ok the rib tips were really good. The meat was stained well and the sauce was really good. It's pretty tender as well. I don't know about it being smoked per say but it is good. If you're a person looking for that smoke flavor, this "may" not be your cup of tea. I was honestly hoping for that but understand I'm not down south and this is typically the BBQ up north. Service was quick and friendly. I didn't have to go looking for my food and it was hot and fresh. There atmosphere is very chill and relaxed. Everyone is conversing and enjoying themselves. Oh there's ooen sand volleyball out back as well. There's also an eating area and bar outside. A lot of people ordered they'll their burgers, so maybe that's the speciality here not BBQ. I just wanted BBQ today. read more

While we were driving by Fatmans we saw a poster that said fish fry Friday so we stopped in to grab some fish. After ordering we were waiting about twenty minutes when one of what I can only assume was a manager came by and apologized to us saying that one of the employees dropped all of the fish and there was none left and that we had to order something else. He was incredibly kind about it and offered us each a beer and agreed to give us a free appetizer which we took and was very good. No problems there he was very nice and apologetic, we completely understood and had no problem with that, especially after he said he wasn't going to add whatever we ordered to the bill. The problems came after we waited another 20 minutes after we ordered again and had finally eaten, first there was a spider crawling down from the light which was incredibly dusty, then a few minutes later we look over to the wall and see a cockroach crawling down from behind a painting right at our table. We were officially upset about the whole situation after that happened. However, we were optimistic after he said he wasn't going to add the burgers to the bill, assuming we were going to get some sort of discount for not getting the food we ordered and waiting another 20-30 minutes for our food after we ordered the second time. That was not the case. The bill comes back and as we look at it we see that they still charged us for the fish despite not getting it and the burgers being cheaper than the fish. But that's not all. As we were talking about our bill to our waitress we pointed out the fact that there was a spider and a cockroach on our table, before we even said anything she knew what we were talking about and said they spray once or twice a week for cockroaches and tried to explain it away about the building being old. At this point we're so angry that we had to just pay and leave because we are just trying to enjoy our weekend out of town and not cause a scene. I don't understand how the health department hasn't shut them down yet. I am thoroughly disappointed and wished we had a better experience but it was gross and I still feel like I have bugs crawling on me an hour later. read more

The cost is ridiculous. Drink and food do not pair well with the prices. We sat at the bar and service was awful. Too many places to go.

The food was ok, but way too expensive for regular visits. The restaurant is very clean & service was great. We went on a week day when they were having volleyball and it was kinda hard to find a parking spot but it was buzzing with business. I like how big the place is and the setting was very comfortable. They also have a nice patio to sit on in the warm days. Can't wait to try again, hopefully they can add some specials or happy hour. read more

The vibe here is very in line with what you'd expect from a sports bar, with many adornments and numerical references to local sports staples. The wings were really good, though I say this with a grain of salt because it takes some effort to really screw up wings. Nice place if you're passing through, as it's right off a main highway. read more

Food was average certainly not worth what they charge. They also charge for using a debit card.

Love the food here! Great variety and atmosphere. They also have live music sometimes which we really enjoy. Had the smash burger last time and it was delicious! read more

If I could do zero stars I would! We walked out of this place as fast as possible due to terrible customer service. We arrive it's busy we approached the servers because nobody acknowledged our existence. We asked someone how does this work how can we get a booth do you seat us down or not and the man rudely stated well it works like this once someone gets out of the booth and it's empty then you walk up to the booth terrible customer service I am disgusted at the rudeness we experienced right off the bat so we walked out never again! read more

Way too expensive for the area. 3 of us had lunch and it was $78. We did not have steak or lobster. The food was just alright. The service was good. I will not be going back. read more

Great service/staff. Love the overall atmosphere! Potato skins are my favorite thing on the menu!
