    Old, burned french fries

    Fat Andy's used to be my "go to" butger and fries stop because they were so good...until they weren't. The past three visits over the last few months has been unsatisfying. Check your orders before you leave. I did learn to check my orders and caught a wrong order before I left today. Unfortunately I did not check my two orders of french fries. Included here is a photo of my fries orders. Only a few of the fries are edible. The others were burned and barely warm. They had to be tossed. The fries used to be so good. The burgers are smaller also and were cooked very well done today, too done to enjoy. What has happened here?

    The best!

    Made to order,fresh and juicy. Was busy at lunch time with lots of traffic. It's my go to place whenever I come to the beach.

    "Never judge a book by it's cover" My husband and I stopped by Fat Andy's Burger for lunch today. We read all the great reviews and looked forward to supporting this local company. Mike (Andy's brother) was there to help answer our questions about the menu and got right to work putting our lunch together that came out quickly. It didn't disappoint. I had a bunless burger with bacon which was quite tasty with their slaw on top. My husband's DD burger with bacon & cheese was hefty and full of flavor. We loved the hand cut french fries too with the perfect blend of salt and pepper. We'll be back!

    Amazing food! Burger was really juicy and toppings fit very nice with it. Fries were crispy and perfectly salted. The service at this restaurant was also great. Nice servers and quick turn around on orders! Good outside seating area as well. They accepted card, cash, and apple pay. Will be coming back!

    Cheeseburger extra pickles

    Five Guys who? They only had two guys at Fat Andy's and it's twice as good! No frills, just a great burger and fries. Easy on the wallet. When I asked for extra pickles, the grill man understood the assignment!

    I've gone so many times to be disappointed every time because they weren't open. And yes i went early during "open" hours. Today i saw a sign out front that said they moved. Had their burgers once last year... guess that was enough. Sad day.

    Awesome burgers!

    Had no fries and only one gal working taking orders and cooking. I ended up leaving without ordering and of course no food.

    Not everyone knows about this place. Keep it that way. One of the best burgers and fries you can find in coastal Carolina.

    Took the Fort Fisher ferry over to Southport for the day, and we stopped in for an early lunch…read more They were not busy yet, which was our plan. Eat first, then do all our walking. We were greeted by very friendly staff that seated us in a back corner. No foot traffic over there. Server came by for drink orders and we had some time to look over the large menu. It is your typical diner food. Big portions and all fresh made. We tried the Henny Penny sandwich with side of fries and the Reuben with side of fries. Chicken was cooked perfectly on this wonderful roll. Looked delicious. The Reuben meat was chopped and mixed with the sauce and sauerkraut. Very easy to eat this way. And I love the marble rye bread. Not sure where they get their bread but both sandwiches were amazing. Fries were hot and crispy too. This is a great spot right in the middle of Southport. When we finished and left, almost every table was full, even outside tables. There are only about 8 tables inside, so when they are busy, I'm sure there is a wait. We will definitely return when in Southport. Give this little place a try. Great food and service right in the heart of Southport. 5 stars

    Service: Fast service and waiter was quick on his feet…read more Food: Blue cheese burger had good toppings and the flavor was great Pork rinds were a unique addition. We sat outside and if the wait had been less I would have sat inside since the flies joined our table as soon as the food came out. Fun to sit outside though, just to feel some of the vibe as people milled about. Price was high for a burger in any normal environment, but you're paying beach prices.

    First, I'd like to give a special shoutout to our waitress. She truly made the dining experience…read morememorable. She was funny, a little sassy, and had a great personality that made us feel right at home. Be prepared for a crowd! We visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and quite loud. We had about a 20-minute wait at 5:00 PM, so I can only imagine how packed it gets around 6:00 or 7:00 PM. For dinner, I ordered the flounder platter with Gouda potatoes and sweet plantains. Everything was excellent--5/5. The Gouda potatoes were especially delicious, and the flounder was perfectly crispy without being greasy. My son ordered the crab boil special and cleaned his plate, which says it all. My boyfriend had the fried oyster po' boy, and it was very good as well. Even my little guy ordered the adult portion of fried shrimp and finished every last shrimp and fry. Overall, the prices were reasonable, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We'd definitely come back again!

    We have dined at Shagger Jacks several times-- the vibe is chill and laid back, love the outside…read moreseating tucked away behind all the plants, very much a relaxed & easy going beach bum place to eat. But we have definitely learned the food can be hit or miss. We love to get the fried shrimp and peel and eat to share. The peel and eat may be great once, but hard to peel and overcooked another. Same with the fried shrimp-- once was perfectly cooked and crispy, the next two times was soggy. The fries are always tough like they've been cooked a while and sat, rather than fresh. We have also tried the island poke bowl & grilled shrimp stick. Those were good! We usually sit at the bar and have had Lilly, who is always very nice! Last night we had Owen, and he took great care of our party of 4! Overall we enjoy going and supporting local when we crawl off the beach late and need a quick bite to eat!
