The workers there are crude. Management does not allow side dish substitutions even though priced the same. Got the "falling off the bone" ribs. Really had to work to get the meat off the bones. Not much meat on them, too. I won't be going back.

Roaches! Roaches! Roaches. It’s my second time visiting. I really liked this place but, I was eating and noticed a roach crawling on the wall beside me. I couldn’t believe it and dismissed it but, then saw a second one in the restroom. I really liked this place and the staff is friendly. This is my only reason for the one star rating. If you don’t mind the roaches then you will enjoy the place. I’m sad I had to write this review but, I saw what I saw.

It was seat yourselves. Took awhile before we were addressed at a table. There was probably 4 tables total in the entire restaurant. I woman comes up to take our drink orders, says she's just helping the other woman out. Wait about 10 mins, our server comes to our table and asks if she had took our drink order yet, I said, "Yes?"The menus were in very poor condition. Definitely need a reprint. It took a long time for our server to come back for our food order. She was very soft spoken and very nervous.Food didn't take to long to hit the table. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a sliced beef plate. Pretty sure I got pulled/cut beef and a sliced pork sandwich. The food was just okay.Definitely not the experience I've had w other FatBoys. We won't be back.

We have eaten here twice, I was a bit nervous to go because the building looks old and a bit worn down, but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked inside. And I was even more impressed with the food. They serve excellent BBQ at good prices!

I am pist. Had 2 sandwiches. Turkey while I was there that was fresh and great and a pulled pork to go that I had planned on taking to lunch the next day. About 2 hours later I decided I was going to eat that sandwich now. Pork was like jerky. Hard as hell and dry dry. So because it was to go they put pork that should have been thrown out. I will be calling today for a refund. Pist!

We loved Fat Boys BBQ but lately it’s not so crowded we now know why. We ordered 2 lunch plates pork, garlic bread, fries, slaw, beans. Our pork was cold, our garlic bread was mushy, gf were cold, the beans and slaw and our drinks were fine. Boy has this place changed. They had plenty of workers so that wasn’t the problem ?

Horrible, My Mom and I went and dinner here, we order turkey and pork sandwiches...The turkey had no flavor and bun was stale and as hard a hockey puck..they tried to say it was because it was toasted, it was nasty. Mom got a sweet potato it was not cooked and cold, she asked 2 twice to heat the potato finally she received a hot sweet potato after 2 times asking, The tea was really watered down. The baked beans were cold and no flavor as well and Cole slaw was hot not cold like they just made it, Our waitress was polite and helpful. Mangement was rude and would not take back the nasty food we received they said they could only give 10% discount on this horrible meal...The positive to this was waitress was polite and fried mac cheese and mushrooms were AWESOME...but the sandwiches and sides were awful...The only reason I would go back only for appetizers and their ranch sauce is really good

I have been going to this location since the 1970's. It by far, IMO, much better than the one down the street from it. They also have senior pricing/lunches/dinners. Sweet tea that is southern, (very sweet). Sandwiches and an assortment of appetizers, fried sweet potato, fried dill pickle, and more.

Poor food quality and serviceThey also did something very scummyAt the end you bring your receipt. They ask for tip. After you tip they surprise you with a hidden fee for using your card(visa) and say the sign was up which i seen none. There probably is one but its not noticeable. Oh yea imagine my surprise when my meal comes out and its just thin slices of meat and bbq sauce is just some generic sauce they put in a bottle.

The pros: the little girl (literally maybe 10) that took our drink order and brought them back was super sweet. My kiddo enjoyed her company while we were there and the other patrons seemed to love her as well. The fried pickles, fried mushrooms, and crinkle fries were decent but were clearly frozen.The cons: The menus are greasy paper that have seen better days. Ours both had food dried onto them. The drinks tasted pretty terrible. My husband's sweet tea is shown in the picture. It was literally sugar water. They said it just looked that way because of the glass. I ordered the 3 meat with chicken, pork, and ribs. It comes with coleslaw beans and garlic bread. Slaw and beans had no flavor. Garlic bread was way over done. The "pork" is shown in the picture. Sliced super thin and disgustingly fatty. I never touched my ribs. Chicken was dry. My hubs got the all you can eat ribs and couldn't get through 2 of them. They were tough and dry. Then a roach ran across our table. My husband killed it and handed it to the waitress who didn't seem all that surprised. They did comp our meal but I was gagging and wouldn't have paid anyways. 4 hours later my hubs has a very upset stomach and I'm still nauseous.
