First time here and very pleased with the atmosphere and cleanliness of the place. Plenty of options to sit in bar area or table or booth. Great happy hour options for appetizer or drinks. Will be back for sure. Check out the food specials of the day. [All you can eat royal reds was outstanding] read more

I was not having high hopes for fattys as it's mainly fried food; but they pleasantly surprised me with their grilled buffalo chicken wrap! The chicken was grilled perfectly while being tender and juicy. The wrap was missing the buffalo sauce which they brought in the side; that worked out better to dip in! The waffle fries were great and had a nice crisp to each bite. Definitely a stop in for a quick lunch! read more

Fatty's Seafood - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the shrimp were generously portioned and succulent. The Alfredo sauce was creamy and rich, with just the right amount of garlic and Parmesan to enhance the overall flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the shrimp. Each bite was a delightful blend of textures and tastes, making it a truly satisfying meal. If you're a fan of seafood pasta, Fattys Shrimp Alfredo is a must-try! The waitress was very kind and sweet. Nice environment. read more

Get the nachos!! Amazing!! Shrimp, crab meat and the best homemade chips! Husband got the Cajun Trip and cleaned the bowls it was so good

This was my third time giving this place a chance -- and definitely my last. I really wanted to like it, but once again, the food was far from impressive. We ordered two 1/2 seafood platters, which were underwhelming to say the least. Each platter came with one piece of fish cut into three strips, four shrimp, two hush puppies, and a mountain of fries. The portion balance felt off -- way too many fries compared to the actual seafood. For the price, I expected more substance and better quality. I also decided to try their "hot boil" crawfish special. Unfortunately, it was clearly steamed rather than properly boiled, and it lacked real seasoning. The only flavors that came through were garlic and cayenne pepper. The crawfish tasted like dirty water, and I couldn't eat more than one. It was extremely disappointing. My husband ordered the boiled shrimp, which again seemed steamed in garlic rather than seasoned in a true boil. To be fair, the shrimp were cooked perfectly -- tender and not overdone -- but they were missing that bold, flavorful kick you expect from a seafood boil. To add to the frustration, the waiter told us the boil included corn, sausage, and potatoes, but there was no sausage included at all. Overall, the experience just didn't meet expectations. After three attempts, I can confidently say we won't be returning. read more

I'd give this place like a 3/3.5. Went this past Saturday as an early Mother's Day outing. It wasn't packed so we were seated quickly. We had to move to another booth because there was water dripping from the ceiling and it fell on me twice. While it is a seafood restaurant I have to warn you about the amount of flies! Like omg I felt like we were swatting them away the whole time we were there which was very aggravating. We decided to order crawfish bread for appetizer. It was decent, but it wasn't hot (I don't think it cooked long enough) and I wasn't a fan of the way the crawfish looked (they were dark) wouldn't order if I went again. My mom got the chicken breast plate, I got the crab trap (substituted the etoufee for cream sauce), my dad had the redfish, and my grandma ordered the seafood napoleon (she got her sauce on the side). My mother and I enjoyed our meals. My grandma felt like her eggplant could've been seasoned more. My father thought his fish was kind of dry and wasn't a fan of the macaroni. As you can see it was a thick/hard layer of cheese on the top and he felt it lacked flavor. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. I noticed while we were there they have different specials throughout the week and they also have private dining which is a nice touch. read more

Absolutely the best bread I've ever eaten in my life the Cajun bread. Also, the gumbo was outrageously delicious. I don't normally leave reviews, but this place was outstanding including Service and Quality. Highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. read more

We have been here several times and have always had a nice time. The restaurant is clean and very modern. High ceiling and hard surfaces make it echo-ey so it gets loud when it is busy. The food is very high quality and fresh. They have the usual old favorites, fried seafood, po-boys, etc. but also some unique menu items. I had a peanut butter & jelly burger here one time! (Don't laugh it's not as weird as it sounds!) The food is kind of pricey but it's seafood and it's worth it. Today I had the Pistol Pete wrap and it came with a big pile of waffle fries - probably an entire potato's worth. They have a great selection of beers on tap. Our server was friendly and attentive. The lunch menu has items that are not on the regular menu. No descriptions, just a list of items. We asked about several and our server was able to describe them all in great detail. I was impressed with her, but overall the service was slow based on the small lunch crowd that was there. We have been several times now and will keep going back. read more

Fatty's is a great establishment. I really enjoyed the shrimp platter as well as the catfish. The banana pudding was delicious, but a bit cold. Very casual spot but also good for date night. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Great local seafood. Great service. The Seafood Nachos were amazing and server was was friendly and knowledgeable.

The food was overcooked. However, my bill had a credit charge tax after the bill was tallied. Add the fee to the price of the meal and post that there is a service tax for credit card payments. Mediocre service the waitress left to get napkins and only returned 10 minutes later after I requested napkins from another server. We will not return I am used to better service and food. The restaurants I choose put there sneaky fee in writing and don't try to re-total the bill after fact. Poor practice people don't appreciate being cheated. If you accept credit cards suck up the fee! read more

My experience here was a solid average . The floor was sticky which is a huge turn off , but the delicious cherry cocktail turned my frown upside down . The oysters Rockefeller (which I've had many times in many establishments), was wayyyyy too rich . The boudin balls though were amazing . My mail. Course was a shrimp and bow tie in a cream sauce . It was good but a little too rich for me . ( my taste , no fault of the dish) . My dining companion had a shrimp po boy which was well enjoyed . read more

Customer Service-Excellent Food: Seafood Nachos, Very good tasty fresh ingredients, very good cheese sauce. Crab Trap, Very Fresh ingredients, sounds like a lot from the menu description but this dish is actually very light, I had to ask for a little salt. Grouper Dish- Very Fresh Perfectly cooked I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because we swatted & killed about 3 gnats while trying to enjoy our meal which is very aggravating. Overall we enjoyed it. read more

first off I would like say that our server was great and no complaints there however the fact that 3 of the 5 adults in our party were all greatly disappointed with their food says something, we all 3 ordered a shrimp salad and this is a basic thing to make .. the shrimp was resembling microwaved rubber textured not even any salt or seasoning and a wilted pathetic salad sprinkled with orange cheese. The manager did nothing to rectify this situation after we brought this to their attention. Poor management read more

Visiting from anither State and I found The food was just average. I had the crab cakes and sweet potato fries. The fries were just ok. I expected a little more then I received and they were not hot. I wasn't impressed with the crabcakes. Maybe if we went earlier in the day food would have been fresher read more

Service was good. I noticed the hostess, and 2 servers had mask on. My server and the bar tender did not have mask on. For an appetizer o had the seafood nachos (didn't have much queso), the nachos wasn't piping hot). I had the catfish plate...the catfish were little skinny strips (had fishy taste), baked macaroni wasn't all that and the loaded baked potato soufflé was pipping hot not taste. read more

We got 2 of the 3lb crawfish trays plus the extra $5 each for ONE corn and TWO potatoes. Also got an order of crab cakes. We ended up paying over $50 for the whole order. The crawfish were dirty, unseasoned, and a lot of them were dead. the crab cakes tasted like they weren't fresh. We returned the entire order and got a full refund. Would not recommend. two stars because they were nice about refunding us. edited to add: This is not the first time we've had a bad experience here read more
