    Service is great! Breakfast is served and they have a varied menu. All items are cooked to order.

    Y'all. Best stop I could have made. I was traveling home from NCCAT by myself and not much was open because it was mid-to end March. I'm so glad nothing was open and I found this! The food was on point, came out fast, service was friendly and I was so happy for my trip home.

    Glad to try this place we've been seeing for several years, but we usually come in the off season when they are closed. Had a great breakfast! Bacon was on the thicker side, which we loved! Ordered cheese on my scrambled eggs which they left off, but hubby's had the cheese and I would def recommend it. They were just so busy when we were there and all the workers were doing their best so I didn't want to send mine back. Home fries are real potatoes, diced and we added grilled onions. Toast was thicker bread, which I also liked. Biscuits are a premade type, but gravy was good. Would def eat here again. Only complaint is I ordered the tougher parfait based on a picture in another review with strawberries and blueberries and mine came with apples and bananas and I don't like either of those, but I should've asked when I ordered. I did not get a picture of that.

    Uhmm, I was afraid walking into this place. I just felt eyes and felt 'out of place". Y'all know what I mean and are not saying. Okay, soooo the food was meh. When it was done, I guess they had run out of to-go bags. The guy dumped out supplies from a to-go bag and placed my order in it. DIGUSTING!! AND it's a COVID pandemic happening. I said my prayers, ate my home fries, and threw everything else away. Yuck!

    Bottom Line: Very casual eatery with friendly staff serving comfort food. Fatty's Eatery is a super casual place so you can throw your clothes over your bathing suit and you'll be welcome. The staff is very friendly and they seem to be very collaborative too. The decor is very beachy - the floors are gritty with sand and the walls have amusing murals on them. (I particularly like the shark with eyebrows and it's tongue hanging out of its mouth.) I like that the food is good ol' fashioned American chow that is nourishing. I also appreciate that they have both a Pepsi soda fountain and a Coca-Cola soda fountain! We stopped in for breakfast sandwiches before climbing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and they were tasty and reasonably priced.

    I make it a point to come here every time in in Hatteras, simply for the shrimp n grits. These are the best shrimp n grits I've had anywhere! The sauce is awesome, and the price is very good as well. I've traveled all the way to Charleston, SC before to try shrimp n grits that were hyped up along tv, and they were terrible lol. Everything my wife had tried at Fatty's is very good as well. It's definitely a must try!

    I still dream of the fried shrimp. The service was fantastic as well. If it wasn't 1500 miles from home I would eat here all the time.

    Cockeyed Clam - This banana pudding was different than most we've had - thick, creamy, and ours was full of vanilla wafer and banana cream. Delicious!

    The Cockeyed Clam was a mixed bag of good and bad menu items…read more The fried clam strips were chewy as well as having the batter being burnt. Had the platter with fish of the day, shrimp, crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and broccolini. The fish with the Parmesan encrusted top was delicious, adding a strong flavor that complemented the fish. However, the underside of the fish didn't have any of that flavor and was under salted as well as being a tad overcooked. The broccolini was cooked well enough but ended up being flavorless due to no seasoning or salt added. The shrimp were okay, not super well seasoned but not super lacking. The crab cake was fairly loosely packed, little char on top. Not super flavorful. Mashed potatoes were good, well seasoned and creamy. The fried seafood items had a nice light batter and wasn't too oily. The hush puppies were a highlight of the meal. They were dense with a hard exterior but not too dry on the inside. The cornbread flavor held strong in the hush puppy and wasn't too greasy. The French fries were abysmal. No salt, no crispness, and terrible texture. Pickled beets added a nice sweetness to the meal. The main highlights were the desserts. The chocolate pecan pie a la mode was delicious as well as the key lime pie. Our server was great and sweet. While most of the food is not terrible, it's not going to impress much either.

    Special of the day was Blue crab ravioli with sun-dried tomato Alfredo was fantastic! Bloody Mary…read morewas good, all other food was good. Really love the garlic, mashed potatoes.
