Ironically, how I found this place is funny. I was looking to try out a place called "Fatburger" which is supposedly better than "In and Out", in my friends eyes. I believe I found something much more fantastic that I believe would beat both those two LA fast food chains that came over to Nevada. Keep in mind I didn't order just the two items I took photos of, I was hungry and was waiting patiently for a friend to get off of work in the parking lot, trust me I ordered a whole 5 course meal haha. Although the time went slowly for my bestfriend to arrive, the wait of since 11 am to 4:30 pm was worth while. I wasn't bored in my car, friends called to see how my college exam went. Hopefully I did well! When my bestfriend arrived, I was a little to excited to see him and ended up forgetting I locked my car with my keys in the cup holder, so we spent a half an hour attempting to unlock the car. Since our tummies where hungry, the concentration was not there! At 5 pm we decided to go into the restaurant, it was going to be a new experience for us both, especially since both of us had not heard about this place before. When we walked in, I felt like a family member of the place, everyone greeted us kindly with a "hello welcome in!" That experience alone put me back in my home state New York for a bit. The whole restaurant staff was extremely friendly and treated you as if you where family. I don't know if the staff is family, however that is the vibe I was getting because how wonderful they worked together and where highly coordinated. The cashier was very friendly and would be courtesy and ask if we where ready or need more time and if we will be sitting down to eat or will it be takeout. My bestfriend quickly said "yes, I would like to order a 16 inch pepperoni pizza with a large soda with a slice of cheesecake please and thank you" and said I would probably need some time to decide what I want. It was true, I felt like a little kid at a candy shop for their first time, so many options. What to get, what not to get. I ended up settling on a Monster Pastrami Boyger combo with large Chencho fries(swapped out the normal fries and paid the differences to have those since they looked ultra tasty) I sat down and resumed conversation with with my friend, shortly after the cashier was back with his pizza. She was very courteous to give an extra plate if I wanted to steal one of my bestfriend's pizza slices haha. Not to long after he had two of his slices a different coworker had delivered my food to the table since the cashier was busy helping out a regular they recently greeted. I observed that their regulars and each coworker knew each other very well this put me back in my homestate, New York, once again and I loved that feeling because it is rare to come across. I enjoyed the monster pastrami burger alot and was able to see why it was a fan favorite. The flavors where combined very marvelously especially for a homestyle restaurant dish. I did add bot sauce to my chencho fries and after I ate half my monster pastrami boyger , I felt since I had not had hot sauce in a long time I could spoil myself once. I did try both item without it first and you could definitely tell it was genuine authentic homemade food at it's finest. After, I finished the monster pastrami boyger, I went back up and ordered 2 milkshakes and fried zucchini and later went back up to order a side of guacamole. Overall the service was above and beyond! I felt like I was back in New York, with the style of the restaurant and how the staff was extremely amazing. Plus how wonderful the regulars where treated. It was like everyone knew each other and I loved that experience! Only thing would change is maybe expanding the size of the restaurant. Other than that phenomenal food and lovely staff. Everything taste authentic and homemade! Very pleased and highly recommend for others to enjoy the dining experience of this 5 stars restaurant! Will definitely be coming back more...
Read moreFrom everything I've heard about this place, I was expecting more. We did get it on the fourth of July, so maybe on a regular day it would be better? We ordered a regular salad, guacamole burger with cheese, chili cheese fries, spicy chicken sandwich, a cheese quesadilla, and something else (I forgot what my hubby got, something with jalapenos). The girl that took our order was also obviously not happy to be there and it was reflected in her lack of service, smile, or even answers to our questions (since we're never been there before, we did have questions about a couple items). Again, she was working on a holiday, so maybe that was it. There are a few tables there to eat in, but it's mostly an order to-go type of place because of the size, which is what we did. While waiting for our food, there was one Uber eats and one postmates driver picking up food, but no other customers.
On the guacamole burger both the burger and bun were VERY dry, with the bun being hard like it had been left on the counter all day. I broke (yes, BROKE and not tore, it was that hard) the worst parts off and used mayo to help the rest not feel like crackers in my mouth. The chili cheese fries were ok but not great, the salad was literally just chopped iceberg lettuce with THREE pieces of sliced tomato on it - that was it, and the spicy chicken sandwich was again just "meh" but my daughter said the bun was at least not dried out. The chili cheese fries were soggy and just a surprisingly tasteless mess; everyone but the vegetarian tried one bite but the rest was thrown away. The best thing was the cheese quesadilla, but that's pretty hard to mess up (although Cafe Rio somehow knows how to make disgusting, oily cheese quesadillas, so it can be done).
My family ate the majority of what we ordered so it was edible which is why I am giving it two stars - because we didn't trash most of our food. Of course, we were all hungry and it was way too hot to turn the oven on, but we won't be going back. There are just far too many places to eat in Vegas to pay for mediocre at best food with...
Read moreAs I stepped into Fatboy Restaurant in Las Vegas, I was immediately engulfed by a tantalizing aroma of beef patties sizzling on the grill, each infused with a distinct char that promised impeccable perfection. This sensory delight set the stage for what would unfold as an unforgettable culinary journey, mirroring the robust flavors of the menu.
The restaurant's ambiance perfectly balances relaxed comfort and refined sophistication. Located in a lively part of the city, Fatboy boasts an urban charm that is both inviting and distinctly unique. The warm and inviting lighting creates an atmosphere where laughter and conversation flow freely. The staff members, with their attentive and genuinely courteous service, ensure that every guest feels appreciated and valued. Their deft service acts as a subtle yet vital foundation for the overall dining experience, enhancing the feeling of being welcomed and valued.
For my meal, I opted for the Double Monster Burger with Bacon, a standout creation that marries premium ingredients with a contemporary twist. Nestled within a freshly baked, lightly toasted brioche bun, the Black Angus beef patties were succulent and flavorful, while the crispy bacon provided a satisfying crunch. Each bite was a revelation of flavors, from the tang of the house-made mustard and relish to the fresh crunch of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. The smoky chipotle mayo added a layer of spice, elevating the burger to a new level of deliciousness. Served with a generous portion of golden, hand-cut steak fries, each crispy bite was a delightful contrast to the tender burger, and paired with a refreshing soft drink, it made for a well-rounded meal that transcended the ordinary.
In conclusion, Fatboy Restaurant stands out as a premier destination where exceptional food, stellar service, and an engaging atmosphere converge to create a dining experience that is both memorable and deeply satisfying. For those seeking an indulgent meal crafted with skill and passion, Fatboy serves as a shining testament to the art of burger-making at the heart...
