I called ahead specifically because of a previous experience I had with the grease. I asked how fresh the grease was. The young lady who answered asked her boss, who I’m assuming is the owner. He told her that they had just changed it the day before. When I went in and spent over forty dollars on food, I was very disappointed. The quality did not meet my expectations, especially considering what I was told about the grease being freshly changed. Unfortunately, my experience was not good, and I will not be returning.
Looks gross on the outside but the food was really good. The breading on the fish was the best I've ever had. Good tartar sauce too.
Fabulous Walleye, Cod, and Cauliflower. If we lived closer, we would come more often. So much to choose from so little room in our tummies. Thank you!!!
Still a favorite for great seafood! I remember coming in with my Dad beginning over 50 years ago and here i am, still loving the food here. I did stop coming in for a while, when the previous owner lacked in staffing skills, but tried again and things are being done right now. The service is pretty good, the menu options are endless, the prices are reasonable and my Ocean Perch and Gizzards have been cooked and seasoned to perfection consistently. Keep up the great work! I would definitely recommend Fat Man's!
Fat Man’s is nothing like it used to be since another change of ownership. Mind you I’ve been eating there since I was a kid. Ordered 2 Olive Swiss Burgers, 3 wings, and 1/4lb of fried mushrooms. First time trying the burger menu to only be told after I paid that they don’t have olives. So, we substituted for a cheeseburger. By far the nastiest burger I’ve ever had which must of been a frozen patty bc it was mushy and tasted stale, wings were not fried completely, and the fried mushrooms: well let’s just say were not what I expected. Totally disappointing. To top it off we ended up there bc Coney Island up the way was closed.
We waited for 25 minutes behind 4 other people that came in AFTER us to take home greasy, skin peeling, fried chicken. Our fries were soft and not seasoned AT ALL. Very disappointed. I live on the complete opposite side of town and came for good food to receive mediocre slop.
We love this place! The fried perch & fries combo was “as good as any I ate in New England” according to my husband, and we just moved here after living there 15 yrs! My olive cheese burger was outstanding. Also very friendly staff. We will be back!
Loved the customer service. Everyone was friendly and establishment is clean. We got ocean perch, gator, frog legs, clam strips, and okra. Everything was fried perfectly and I over did it! They definitely give you plenty
