Fat Mama's Po Boyz and Sandwiches — Restaurant in Oshkosh

First off this place does not disappoint at all. I was welcome as soon as I came in the door at 3pm on a Friday to Kool Aid and kindness. This place and the people are some real amazing folks and she is holding it down putting out amazing food that doesn't miss.

I picked up early dinner and got the Catfish & Fries, Pulled Pork and Pork Chop Sandwich with an assortment of sides. So let's break it down.

Entrees: Pork Chop Sandwich - Solid 15/10, I tell you it's the best thick and juicy pork chop I have ever eaten in my life. Bone-in on a good quality roll topped with onions, peppers and the works. Hands down one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth.

Pulled Pork - 10/10, The pork in phenomenal! Seasoned and flavorful but you can still taste that tender supple pork. So good!

Catfish - 9.9/10, The catfish was fried perfectly, crisp outside and juicy inside. It was a touch salty but not in a bad way but worth noting if you're sensitive to seasoning. Overall best I have had in years.

Sides: Fried Okra - 100/10, this Okra took my wife to church and literally made her cry. Fried right crispy outside and tender inside. Seasoned well and yes some breading fell of but even the Okra without the breading was tender, seasoned and delicious. Ain't no slime around this Okra and a must get if you come by.

Potato Salad - 10/10, Better than my Mama's for real. Seasoned, a little sweet and tangy with a perfect consistency. Very good.

Coleslaw - 9.5/10, it was good coleslaw not too sweet or seasoned just right with a fresh crunch that was very satisfying.

Cornbread - 9.5/10, very good cakey style corn bread that is not too sweet or savory. This cornbread lands right in the middle and is a great compliment to the entrees.

French Fries - 9.5/10, really tasty crinkle fries that weren't super crisp but they had the right amount of seasoning that made these something really comforting like something your friend's Mama would make for y'all.

Kool Aid - 1,000,000/10, not enough people appreciate really really good Kool Aid. All I am saying.

Overall, this is got to be one of the best if not the best place to get good home cooked food in Oshkosh. If you're in town check them out and pull up to eat some real food made with love.

Thank you for a great experience. We absolutely will be back to try more...

The food was so amazing it makes you wanna marry the chef. It is now in my top 5 places to eat in the state. Found this place randomly looking for a good spot to eat & I'm so glad we did. We could smell the spices in the air walking in. We were greeted by the sweetest woman. Who introduced herself as Fat Mama. The place immediately made you feel welcome. It had the perfect, small, homie hole in the wall vibe. Colorful and happy, with hundreds of signatures & comments full of praise and positivity for the restaurant & the talented owner/chef. After looking at the menu indecisively, it all sounded good . I asked her to surprise me & so did my buddy. She immediately replied I go you honey, told us there was fresh free Kool aid, to help ourselves & away she went. We were excited. You could tell this was real homestyle. The wait wasn't too long but long enough to where you know it's fresh. She brought us out our food. She decided to make us the fat mama burger & a Cheese steak, perfectly cooked fries & homemade Mac N Cheese bites. She described exactly what they were and what was on them. But I'm not sure I got it all, as the smell and look was making my mouth water and slightly distracting 😆. First bite had me like. This burger is so damn good it was hard to believe it!! I was shocked. Fresh, Tender, fully seasoned & perfectly cooked beef with melted cheese thick bacon, sauteed onion, pickle, special sauce & a perfectly toasted bun.. I'm still thinking about that damn burger hours later writing this review.🤯 One of the best I've had. The cheese steak was tender & rich with flavor. You could tell the meat was slow cooked. Cheesy melted goodness over sauteed onion peppers, beef on a crispy toasted bun. No where else have I had a cheese steak where the meat was this rich with flavor. The fries and Mac N Cheese bites were a perfect edition. Tasty done with a spot on crisp with soft potato center & cheesy creamy middle. You could absolutely taste the love in this food. You can tell it is made by someone who cares about what they are doing & has passion for it. I will definitely be back. I'm already trying to look for an excuse to drive 3 hours across the...

Pretty Good Po' Boy, Lingering Smell Though - 4 Stars Fat Mamaa's Po Boyz and Sandwiches definitely knows how to make a good sandwich! I stopped in for lunch today and opted for the chicken po' boy. The bread was perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, and the chicken was flavorful and well-seasoned. The toppings were fresh and the whole thing came together nicely. It was a satisfying and tasty lunch. The service was friendly and relatively quick, especially considering it seemed like a busy lunch hour. The prices were also reasonable for the portion size. However, there was one significant drawback that unfortunately impacted my overall experience. The restaurant had a very strong and noticeable smell of grease. While I understand that some level of cooking aroma is to be expected in a place like this, it was quite heavy and unfortunately, the smell clung to my clothes for the rest of the day. This was rather unpleasant and something I hope they can address. Despite the delicious sandwich, the lingering grease smell prevents me from giving a full five-star rating. If they could improve the ventilation or find a way to mitigate the strong cooking odors, Fat Mamaa's would easily be a top recommendation for a tasty and authentic po' boy in Oshkosh. I'd consider returning for the food, but I'd definitely be mindful of what...
