Fatburger Medicine Hat — Restaurant in Medicine Hat

UPDATE:

Visit #3: Back at Fatburger for another round. B insisted on giving the curly fries another shot—this time dusted with Cajun spice. The gravy? Classic, in all the right ways.

Went for the double fat cheese, but swapping out the cheddar for American cheese? Let’s just say it didn’t quite hit the same premium note.

But those donuts… Those donuts…

Mini cinnamon fair-style delights, crispy on the outside, served with a wild caramel dip. Hands down, the best thing on the menu.

Life Hack: They don’t exactly advertise it, but Tuesdays are 2-for-1 quarter pounders. Want to eat like a king on a pauper’s budget? Now you know.

Phantom is throwing down 4.75 stars down out of 5.

Visit #2:

EDIT: Back at Fatburger, because when you crave a burger, you don’t just want a burger—you want a FATburger™.

This time, I went for a smaller double cheese with Swiss. Previously, I had the double king cheese—big difference.

The fries? Let’s just say they’ve seen better days. They tasted like overcooked generic oven fries. They were better on our last visit.

But here’s the thing… Curly fries shouldn’t be better than skin-on fries, but ours either took a detour or got lost along the way. Still ate ’em, though.

Phantom Gourmet Tip: Ask for fresh fries. For the price, it’s the least you deserve.

But shoutout to the crew—they took our order at 10:40 PM, just 20 minutes before closing, and served it up with a smile.

No big deal on the fries—it’s late. B got the limited edition bacon mushroom cheese melt, and though they were out of blue raspberry shakes, WE WILL BE BACK.

First Visit:

Fatburger, where have you been all my life?

This place is a legend in the making. They care about the whole process, and you can watch them cook your meat right in front of you.

The burger? Easily in my top 3. I went with the double king with Swiss cheese—BOOM. How do they make a burger this good?

Fatburger isn’t cheap, but quality never is. Don’t whine about the price when you’re getting food, service, and top-notch quality. If you want cheap, go to BK.

Probably not the best first-date spot (unless you’re into messy), but it’s a fun place. Bring anyone who appreciates a real burger—friends, family, future in-laws, whoever.

Pro Tip: Impress that future father-in-law with a stop here.

This Fatburger feels a lot like the big licensed ones elsewhere, but without the redundancy of dine-in.

The only question is… What will it take to get an In-N-Out here?

#fatburger rocks.

With Wayback in town, it’s now a close race between them and Fatburger. I might prefer Wayback’s patties, but Fatburger’s still holding strong, tying for 2nd...

Dave super guy food is unbelievable Best burger i've ever had in my life I can't stop going. The food is so good. Can't stop going. Food is unbelievable. Can't eat a burger anywhere else. These things are made so good hand made Dave just started replaced 4 months ago.Business back good food good company They do catering and any other kind of event you can think of . For those have not been and give a poor rating or rate on someone else rating shame on you. Well went back for fat burger again. Dave did it again man I had another. Mushroom Deluxe and it was deadly again. These guys make the best hamburger in the world. I worry if this place catches on.

Decided to go here for a quick lunch expecting it to be similar to five-guys, shake shack, or some other generic “high quality burger joint”. I was disappointed. The cost of a burger, fries, and coffee was 19$. The bun was no better than the cheapest sesame bun at superstore, the patty was nothing special, the tomato’s had the same consistency as they do at subway (that thawed mush feeling) and they used shredded lettuce instead of a nice peeling off a head of romaine (personal preference). Extra points for using what tasted to be real cheese and adding a healthy dosage of mustard and ketchup (again, preference).

For someone thinking bout coming here, think about if you’re willing to wait 15 minutes for a burger that doesn’t rival even Wendy’s or Dairy Queen in terms of taste, value, or quality.

Two stars from me,...
