Phat Matt's Hot Wings - Fast Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Sad to say phat matts although I want to give a good review I just can't in good honesty. in 2025 I feel like my last few visits. This place has taken a step back. I don't know where all these five star reviews are coming from. this place a good review way too overpriced and unprofessional service. You're better off just making your own chicken and catfish fillets. It's not hard and you would save some money. read more

I've been coming to Phat Matt's place since I was a kid. Best fish in Dallas (Catfish not Swai). The service is always the same, quick & fresh.. it's not the fanciest place but definitely a hidden gem. Everything is good. (I always ask for my bread toasted) read more

Phat Matt's Hot Wings - 2 Piece Catfish with French Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

If you're looking for the best wings in town, you found it. This is an amazing wing spot. This quaint little shop provided me with some of best wings I have ever had. They cook to order, so you know the food will be fresh as soon as it gets to you. The guy that took my order was super kind and was able to facilitate my order while dealing with a large to-go order. If you're looking for a fantastic wing spot, this is the place to go. (Highly recommend those lemon pepper wings.) If there was any cons, I would personally request them to blanch fries. Seems like this area in general doesn't do this practice which is why I won't deduct a star... and because these wings significantly make up for that! read more

I was trying a new spot, as I normally order out on Fridays. So I figured why not patron a local business. "Sooooooooo" highly disappointed in the price charged for the amount in the basket as well as the underwhelming taste on the wings. I ordered the lemon pepper hot, which were swimming in too much hot sauce that the lemon pepper was minimal. My fries were cold and undercooked. Good luck to others, however this place was a "NEGATIVE NO" and hands down to move on. There is no turning back on this one, even if I was offered a free meal !!!!!! read more

You should try it you won't regret it! It's delicious the crack wings hand down is the best flavor! First time coming my husband ordered the mushroom burger and fish basket n my daughter and I ordered wings. We all agree the crack wings was bomb. The two ladies there are so nice thank yall for working on getting our food to us. We appreciate a good hole in the wall, the ambiance was festive loved the beads and decor! read more

I went to Phatt Matt's Hot Wings on 7/28/25 & order the "THE SUPPOSE TO BE THE 5 PC JUMBO WINGS" & 1 PC of fish. Well when I went to eat the wings the wings was very, very small. The wings that was advertised on the menu as being JUMBO was not even close. They was so small. I will not be going back to 118 S Cockrell Hill Rd. Nor will I recommend this place. Yall need to get your chicken from somewhere else to match the price that you are asking. read more

I don't usually review places I try, but this one deserves it all! Small place wasn't crowded as it's more take out service than dine in. I asked Joe what he recommended, "All of it! It's all good, because I'm the one that makes it....!" Told him that didn't really help me so he recommended fish or shrimp sandwich on Texas toast... SOLD! Fried catfish on buttered Texas toast?? Say less... added fries and a drink, and don't forget the house special sauce. Standard sodas in the machine, then I glanced at the drink cooler and saw they have Kool Aid on tap! Best sandwich I've had. They've been there 20 years and it shows. Be sure and give them a try. Ask for Joe! read more

The crack wings and spicy lemon pepper are amazing, fries extra seasoned, and the kool aid bayyybaaaay yesssss!! The ladies that work at the phat Matt's I go to are the best always nice always smiling and always helpful!! read more

I got a catfish nugget basket and it was not how I remember from a few years ago. I'm beyond disappointed. They gave me these cheap fish nuggets and fried them extra hard to where it was nothing but crisp on the inside. It was nothing but grease and was not edible. A waste my time and money driving all the way from Plano. I will NEVER eat here again. read more

Nothing PHAT about it. Received the smallest, most dried out wings & flats ever in my life. Dude did us dirty. Hard to justify a return visit. Hopefully others have better luck here. read more

food is always a 10/10 whenever i go! wings crisply and flavorful, affordable and great customer service

Picked up some hot wings for a quick picnic at the park nearby and was not disappointed! These wings were a breath of fresh air compared to your average wing places around (Wingstop, Buffalo, ANY pizza place). They were saucy, tangy and spicy enough to wake your sinuses. We were given great service and did not have to wait long to get our meal considering we just walked in and ordered. Next time I'm in the mood for wings, this is where I'm going. read more

Fries were good, price very reasonable, staff was friendly, & my carry out order was on time; all good signs of a decent meal, but the wings themselves... no bueno. I came here before and I remember the wings being ok. They weren't great but they were alright and we waited 30 mins after we ordered so I decided to give them another chance today but this wasn't it. The wings weren't fried hard at all, they were almost wet/moist. I couldn't get through even one Sweet heat wing because the skin was so soft & fatty. The flavors weren't good either. The sweet heat was basic and the garlic Parmesan, believe it or not needed salt. I very rarely add salt to any meal I purchase so this flavor was extremely bland. The blue cheese was warm and I heard someone ask if they had any in the back, not a good sign that it was fresh. I ate the fries only and said forget the wings. All in all an underwhelming experience. I probably won't try them again. read more

Great catfish nuggets!! Koolaid be on point too!! I've also had the grilled catfish and it was amazing!!!

This place is a total hole in the wall, hidden gem, diamond in the rough. This place is really easy to miss and can easy be confused with the car wash next to it but once you find and try the food, you will never pass by this place without recognizing it. The chicken wings here are outstanding and meaty. the flavors the wings are tossed in are truly distinct and like nowhere else. Their catfish is tender and full of flavor, the fries are crisp and the perfect size. No shoe string, tiny fries here. Everything about this place screams southern! The staff is friendly and the place is clean. Cons: A little more expensive than your average wing place read more

Phat Matt's Hot Wings - Fiery hot and lemon pepper wings with large fries. - Fast Food Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Since we've been in quarantine for the COVID19, the only places we go is to pick up food at new spots. So my family and I had a taste for some catfish and wings. We opted for the #1 (family) Platter which on the menu CLEARLY shows $64.74. There was an older lady behind us and we rushed to pay to get out of the way so the worker could take the lady's order. We walk out and I notice we were charged $71.98, I (politely) go back inside and mention this to the gentleman and he bluntly says "oh that menu is 3 years old, those are old prices" smh he didn't bother to say I'll add this or I apologize, I tried to show him the menu price and he just ignored me and shook his head like there's nothing he could do! I was like wow...so for 3 years I'm the only one that has ever brought this to his attention??? Hard to believe! I've worked customer service all my life and still deal with clients on a daily basis and that's no customer service. The food was ok, but definitely NOT worth $77.92 read more

They really need to work on their customer service. This old black lady was there when we came in. She seemed uninterested in the fact that we were there, she barely greeted us and was moving in slow motion the entire time. I guess she didn't want to come in to work. She put our food on the grill and watched videos on her phone the whole time, never preparing our food in a timely manner. This lady is horrible! I don't know who's grandma this is but she was the worst service I have received and horrible cooking at this establishment. Y'all really need to reevaluate who y'all hire because it makes a difference! And stop reusing fries!!!! She re dipped these old fries and some old grease!! This is probably the worst phat Matt location you have!! Thanks to Sharla! We will never return! If y'all walk in here and see Sharla, old black lady... just walk out! Don't stay! Run!!! read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I attempted to call my order in And I was told by a male employee that he was too busy!?!? Ummm isn't this a business. Told me I needed to call back!?!?!? And also EXTREMELY RUDE!! I have eaten here before but will be taking my business elsewhere! read more

Nicely greeted by female worker as soon as I walked in. It was my first time there and she noticed I didn't know exactly what I wanted so she politely told me to take my time. As I looked over the menu I didn't see any flavors for the wings. I love hot wings and I'm always looking for a new flavor. So I decided to wait until she returned to the window to inquire about the flavors. Oh but wait................... This place deserves zero stars. I looked through the glass window to get her attention and spoted one of the workers brushing his teeth in the kitchen sink. Who does that, especially in open view? The young lady could see that I was looking at him and she didn't say a word to him. I quickly turned around to walk out and I could hear her say mam are you ready to place your order. Heck NO. I didn't even turn around. Just kept walking. I will never return to this place. read more

The wing are very delicious. Friendly customer service. Definitely will be coming back for the catfish next.

The wings taste ok but they are more than a dollar each and tiny (instead of jumbo like the sign says). Would not come here for wings. read more

This the second time I received food from this place. I wouldn't spend one red cent in this place. i hope they gave old food because of the taste of the fish and suppose to be pork chops. Fish suppose to be white when you look on the inside. Pork chops suppose to be soft to chew. Fish taste like your bitting into cover grease. Pork chop taste like its been batter and cooked in the same grease as the fish. I wouldn't serve this too a stray dog. Pork chops look like they kept them for a week all drid out. I will refuse any kind of food from this place. I ate it because I didn't want to be rude or wasteful. I will not make that mistake a third time. I will not give it away. I will put it in the trash where it belong. read more

I've done business with this place for a while now. The food is great, but the customer service is not. I've called several times during business hrs, and no one picked up the phone. I had to go there to put in the order, which is inconvenient. I've also shown up during business hrs, and the doors were locked. I could clearly see someone in there. They just close whenever the hell they feel like it, especially when the big lady works there. Her attitude is bad, and she shouldn't have a job dealing with people. I've continued to go though-not only because the food is good-but we're always complaining about black business not getting support from their communities. Well, this is why. If I go to "Billy's hamburgers", they will honor the hrs on the door. They'll also answer the phone when people call. I don't like having a difficult time trying to spend my money with a business. This places treats you like they're doing you a favor. I'll cook my own damn hamburger. read more

The fish is good. I used to go at least twice a week for the pork chops, but for some reason they aren't as good as they used to be. They are known for their wings (which are pretty meaty) but they are a little dry for my taste. Over all the food is decent and slightly over priced. read more

I like the burgers and and the wings love the fries my brother was the one who told me about this place not far from were I live but i really do like the burgers and fries nice and most meat. Go give it a try and see what you think. read more

I ordered the catfish basket to go and it was delicious. The fish pieces were huge, crunchy and well seasoned. The tarter sauce was good also. Fries were hot and seasoned well. I haven't been able to find fish like this from a restaurant in a long time. I will definitely be back. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. I have been going to this restaurant since it first opened, about 10 years or so ago. The wings are the best!!! I crave this place..... Their fries are so good..... The customer service is amazing! When they see my name on the caller ID, they already know what I am going to order. They catered my birthday party.... I always recommend this place to people. I have even gotten my fiancé and his family hooked on it. read more

The food at this location is good but the customer service is trash....... The guy who answers the phone doesn't have any phone etiquette at all. I don't care how good the food is but if the service isn't there I will no longer visit. This place has gotten my money for the very last time. read more
