First thing I expect when I walk into a restaurant is to be greeted. Not only was I not greeted but the short little girl at the register seemed annoyed I was there 15 mins before closing. It was my first time there and there was a huge menu I was trying to look over but her eyes were burning a hole through me so I just rushed and ordered the rib plate.

As for the food, the fries were cold and the rib was barely warm. The meat was very tender I must say but they had absolutely NO flavor. I didn't taste any smoke, or charcoal flavor, seasonings, nothing. They tatsed like ribs straight from the grocery store into the oven lmao.

I'm so sick of people disrespecting banana pudding. It seems a restaurant can slop together anything and call it that. Just the name banana pudding makes you want some but theirs is just basic banana flavored pudding with literally 2 cookies on top, uh, no, sorry. Real banana pudding has home made pudding, ACTUAL banana pieces, enough cookies to have a taste in every bite and topped with optional whipped cream.

I was thoroughly unimpressed I'll stick with Shane's or even Jim an Knicks at least they try to create some decent BBQ,...

I went to Wal-Mart this early afternoon and saw how busy they were. I haven't had fat man's BBQ before and without any doubt in this kid's mind, it was far better tasting and more moist than Full Moon's BBQ. I am extremely pleased I stopped by today. It is a pleasure to enjoy good barbecue. One Benny is that I am supporting a family owned and operated restaurant rather than a filthy rich conglomerate. I highly recommend Fat Man's Smokehouse BBQ. They are open for breakfast and lunch. Fortunately I got there around 1:00 this afternoon. 24 June 2022 I enjoy their Barbeque sandwich plate about every five weeks. You know it is an excellent location for good food and Barbeque because of the number of people eating there and picking up to go orders. I like it because the pulled pork always has a smoked flavor, the way it should be. Once again I am supporting a small family owned and operated American business. THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I highly recommend Fat Man's...

I'm not a fan of hole-in-the-wall BBQ places. In my personal opinion $15+ per person could be spent better. And family BBQ joints get elbow to elbow busy in a way I don't fool with. But my better half drug me here a few months back and let me tell you this hole is something special. $17 and some change buys us both heaping plates of food (we get the pork fries) and drinks. I'm a sauce fanatic and they've got a few good ones, but the pork sings without any help. The place is aways clean. The service is lightning fast but we go on weekends when business is slower. I've never seen the weekday lunchtime rush but would probably brave it if I worked close enough. They are very friendly but don't have to be. They could be downright rude and I'd be back again and again. Food this good can do some heavy lifting. They could cut corners with everything else but they don't. They could charge an arm and a leg but they don't. This...

The real test of barbecue is simple, is it smoked enough and moist enough to not need barbecue sauce? The answer at Fat Man's Barbecue is an astounding yes! Ribs - BBQ smoke flavor the entire way through and very moist. I had four of them and only use the tiny bit of barbecue sauce once just to see what the flavor was like. Pork- HOLY PIG! It is very rare that you get smoked pulled pork that is smoked the entire way through and also so moist it does not need barbecue sauce. This one however, is both of those things! They do add a little bit of vinegar and sugar after they pull it which gives it a nice sweet taste, so it does not need barbecue sauce either. Wings - crazy, crazy, crazy moist! Smoke flavor the whole way through and a delight to eat. Angel food cake - NUM NUM!! Super nice people and super quick service.

Stopped in for lunch on a drive as we passed through Montgomery and were quite pleased! Fairly busy, but not packed, around noon on the Saturday of July 4th weekend. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and our food was ready blisteringly fast. Indoor dining area is a bit bare bones and dim, but the extensive table of condiments, including four of their own bbq sauces, was awesome. Ordered a pulled pork plate with mac & cheese and baked beans as sides, bbq fries, and a side order of corn nuggets. The pork was great quality (especially topped with hot bbq, normal bbq, and/or white bbq sauces). The sides were good, but average. Price for everything was a bargain, though, especially for bbq!

Overall not bad, but I expected more. I've received both praise and warning about Fat Man's. After trying it out for myself, I decided that it's not bad, but not incredible. Generally, the ribs were good, a little tough for my taste, but they fell off the bone just fine. The barbecue sauce wasn't terrible, but also wasn't terrific (I'd recommend the white sauce over the traditional). The potato salad was pretty good, but the Mac and Cheese had no flavor. In a word, I was simply whelmed with the food, not overwhelmed or underwhelmed, just whelmed. All things considered, would I go back? Sure, if I was with friends who wanted to go, I would go with, but definitely not on my own.
