Add this place to the list of things that got us through the worst days of the pandemic. My husband and I lived for Friday night Fat Bob's. Comfort food at it's finest. We've yet to find a fish fry better than Fat Bob's. Always massive and super crispy. Coleslaw is super fresh. French fries are an absolute dream - not too soggy, not hard as rocks. They taste the way you expect fresh cut fries to taste! I love the pulled pork slathered in their BBQ sauce. It was super moist and not chewy or stringy. Also, you HAVE to get the mac and cheese as a side. If I could fill a pool with this mac and cheese I would. I'd jump right in and swim around and snack. Actually, that sounds really unsanitary and gross. The point is it's GOOOOD. Highly recommend this Buffalo staple! read more

Great BBQ joint in Buffalo right down the street from The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural House. You know it's going to be some good BBQ when you walk in at 4:15 and they are asking if you have a reservation. Sadly we did not, but ended up grabbing some seats at the bar. Highlights: Fried Chicken (nice & moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside) like it should be! Hush puppies-so good! I'm from the south originally and there were done extremely well! Carolina BBQ sauce-sooooooo good, my second favorite sauce was the Kansas City sauce, and then the Memphis. My least favorite was the original. Onion rings-order these! So good! Pulled pork was good and loved dipping it all the sauces. Husband had the potato salad and said it was good, compared it to a loaded potato salad. read more

Fat Bob's Smokehouse - Ribs and out standing fries - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Came here during a recent friend trip to Buffalo. Before going wing-crazy that weekend, we decided to try a local BBQ spot and this place came highly recommended. The vibe inside is definitely Western in nature, and the smokey smells hit you as soon as the front door opens (a good sign!). We ordered some drinks, perused the menu and placed our orders. One person got a fried chicken finger basket and me and the other person both got 'que-related platters. Let's start with the chicken finger platter...or more accurately huge split breast battered and fried platter. Holy buckets...the fingers were massive! They were dredged in a fantastic batter with a salty, spicy blend making for a savory bite. No sauces needed! Fat Bob's also uses that same dredge on their onion rings, and honestly they were some of the best rings I've had anywhere. For my meal, I ordered the ribs and brisket combo with onion rings and mac-n-cheese. The ribs were big, meaty with a decent amount of smoke ring and some "chew" required to get the meat off the bone (as they should!). Their rub was on the milder side, but with four squeeze-bottle sauce styles available tableside (original, Kansas City, Memphis, North Carolina), it was fun to mix and match each bite with a different sauce. My only gripe with the ribs is that they neglected to take the silver-skin off the bottom / back side of the ribs, so those had to be removed manually. The brisket was fatty (for melt in your mouth goodness) and only a minor smoke ring. I am usually a no-sauce kinda guy when it comes to good brisket, but I think this meat needed a bit of help from the sauces. Meat was really tender, but lacked a depth of flavor. Their mac-n-cheese was ooey-gooey and used ziti style noodles instead of macaroni, and it was a sharp taste given the mix of cheeses used. All-in-all an excellent BBQ meal, on a "hidden" side street that is worth seeking out. read more

Amazing bbq. Loved the atmosphere of the place. Loved how the ribs came with sauce already on them. (Not just the rub), plus having table sauces as well to add more variety of 4 different sauces. The mac and cheese were totally amazing. Believed they were peppered and it totally changed the flavored. So good. Friendly staff and nice tap menu to choose from as well. Recommend! Street parking wasn't too bad but I am sure that can change with traffic. Narrow ally way. But overall not too bad. read more

Been coming for a longtime. FOH staff was nice. Great server. Seems that are one of the few places that got it right as we ease out of a pandemic. Husband enjoyed his food. Enjoyed hush puppies. I got the Texas Mac. Very good, flavorful Mac n cheese. Brisket was good but some pieces a little dry. Kansas City BBQ sauce is the best. Sad that they are no longer on the tables. Good experience. read more

Atmosphere is a 5. Cue is mixed. All the food is very flavorful with a good smoke, but sometimes they dry the meat out. My brisket last night was dry. Beer selection is good but I would like to see them stock a bunch of WNY craft brews like 42 North from EA. Service has always been good. I recommend getting a reservation as the place is usually packed. Parking can be a challenge. Restrooms are too small for a restaurant and bar of this size. read more

Came here with a friend for dinner and drinks. The restaurant is on one of the most narrow roads in Buffalo, and I was afraid to scrape my car on other cars parked along both sides of an already narrow road. That was the bad. The good was we were able to park in a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant. The place was packed. But our server came quickly, and our food was out in no time. The food was delicious. My only negative (besides the street which the restaurant has no control over) was the prices were a little steep and the portions were a little small for the price. But it was a good vibe and the food really was good. read more

After Slow Roll Buffalo I was hungry. It's been many years since I had anything from Fat Bob's, but I remember liking what I had. I tried the pulled chicken with 3 sides. The chicken was flavorful, not too salty with just the right amount of smoky flavor. Extra sauce was available. The cole slaw was cold and amazing. The corn was good, as was the smoothy and creamy mac and cheese made from penne pasta. They guy standing next to me had the brisket, which looked and smelled so good I almost bought another dinner. read more

Such good BBQ. To start with the sides are phenomenal, best onion rings and gumbo, and the hush puppies where so good. I didn't like the fact the bbq sauce for things are on the side but that's pretty minor. If you are looking for good bbq this is the place to go for sure. They have a whole beer section with New York State beers which I like. My only problem is it has a laid back vibe so we brought kids, but there is not a kids menu. We saw kids so other people are bringing kids also, so it would help for a kids menu. My son is going to be eating pulled pork Mac and cheese for days now. read more

I must say I've never had a bad meal at Fat Bob's. When close to the restaurant we usually order the family style meal. @ roughly $60 to feed a family of 3 and have leftovers it's a really good deal. Everyone loves the Mac and cheese of course w/ the creole seasoning. Yum! The only meat we don't usually get is the brisket but that's by choice. We have tried all the other meat options and they are all fantastic! When eating in we also get the gumbo to start. It just warms your soul and gets you ready for the rest of the southern experience. We ordered Thanksgiving dinner last year (2022) from Fat Bob's as well. It was set up as a take and bake for the sides the turkey was smoked and required reheating. All I have to say is: I will not be cooking and stressing myself out for Thanksgiving again. This was a great meal that served 8 people and had leftovers. So all in all Fat Bob's for birthdays, lunches, dinners piano recital celebrations, Thanksgiving. You name it. We will find an excuse to get there. The inside is old school but comfortable. I have not sat at the bar I've only eaten at the tables. It's tight but not uncomfortable. The patio when the weather is nice is a great option too. read more

I went here for lunch with a few of the guys from work. I got the brisket sandwich and we all shared a platter of chips with brisket as an appetizer. Food was really good the wait staff was pleasant, not overly attentive. Overall a good lunch. read more

Fat Bob's Smokehouse - Brisket sandwich with sweet potato wedges - Barbeque Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Such delicious barbecue, right in the heart of downtown Buffalo! I usually come to Buffalo for wings and beef on weck, but I had no idea that there was such amazing barbecue to be had as well! Fat Bob's had a fun atmosphere, easy going staff, and great portion sizes. Pros: awesome food for the most part (the ribs completely fell off the bone and though they were a little dry, had great flavor; the smoked bbq wings were out of this world; the Mac and cheese and hush puppies were sides not to be missed! Hot tip: do not miss out on the honey and butter extra... mix the butter into the honey, dip, and enjoy), really friendly waitstaff, decent beer selection Cons: multiple waiters to one table so things get missed or take longer occasionally, as mentioned above ribs were a little dry Will absolutely be going back to try the rest of the menu!! read more

I had a chance to stop here for a quick lunch the other day.... I'm glad I did. 1) Place is clean and welcoming. We were quickly greeted and sat. 2) Waitress was friendly and somewhat attentive. She was very busy and would disappear for long periods of time. Long enough we had to go ask for her twice. 3) Food was pretty good. I had the catfish. I ordered it breaded and fried and somehow received it blackened. It was good in any case. Corn bread was good. Hushpuppies were huge and good. Ordered the Gumbo. It was very thick and pretty good. Overall I would return to this place and I recommend you give them a try. read more

Loved the food, service and atmosphere. We went on a Sunday and it was a perfect time for a nice relaxing lunch.

I had the pulled chicken sandwich and the bbq was a hit! I wish they sold it in a bottle! Its better than whatever is on the shelves at the grocery store! My bun was nice and soft and they give you a ton of meat! Thumbs up for sure! read more

This place is a hole-in-the wall that churns out some serious BBQ! If you weren't looking for it, it's doubtful you'd find it. Mine was the house made Cajun Meatloaf with a Double Mac, Mac & Cheese. Meatloaf was tasty but not overly good. The M&C was outstandingly delicious! It would have been a 5* if the food was hotter. What really stood out was the Hush Puppies...quit possibly the very best Hush Puppies I've ever had! Hot, sweet $ amazing! To top the meal off was a Chocolate Cheesecake that was dense enough that I could barely get my fork through it! And it was fantastic tasting! When in Buffalo & in need of BBQ...come here! read more

Came to Fat Bob's for a dinner with colleagues. We arrived on a Wednesday night without any reservations and we told we would need to wait (15-20 minutes for a reservation.) A very good sign on a weekday! We waited at the bar which has ample seating and a great selection of local beers! We were seated in less time than expected and we all loved the cozy and welcoming environment. We were told by a local that the pulled work is a favorite on the menu. Many of us orders a pulled pork dinner and loved being able to try our different bbq sauces. I personally loved the Smokey Memphis sauce! Even my colleagues who ordered fish where very pleased with the tastes and portions of their meals! I highly recommend supporting this local business for some delicious bbq! read more

It breaks my heart to write this review... but it must be done. Today, February 14, 2020, I decided to take my wife & daughter to Fat Bob's Smokehouse for a relaxed Valentines dinner. My wife ordered baked haddock, that wasn't fully cooked, daughter ordered a bbq pulled chicken sandwich, that was just TERRIBLE, and I ordered smoked wings with sausage gumbo soup. I can honestly say... the smoked wings were okay, not the best nor worse I had. As for the sausage gumbo... DELICIOUS! Moreover... I placed a to go order, fried chicken and Mac & cheese, for our youngest daughter as she had to work. To add to our frustration, I was floored upon receiving a picture of bloody uncooked chicken, our daughter text me as proof. FAT BOB'S SMOKEHOUSE, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! I spent $114.21, plus a $35.00 tip, $25.00 for our waiter and $10.00 for the bartender, only to receive a bloody uncooked fried chicken dinner for our daughter and dinner entrees that should have NEVER left your kitchen for our table! We will NEVER return... NEVER! read more

Whoa! Before I fall asleep due to all the delicious food we consumed at Fat Bob's tonight, let me tell you about the experience. Firstly, we were a party of 7 and made our reservation via Yelp. Smart move! Table was ready in just a few minutes past the time, and we were all seated at a roomy table. Great vibes in the dining room, everyone having fun and lively conversation, yet we could still hear ourselves talk. Bonus! I opted for the special, which was ocean perch fried in a special batter, with mac n cheese and baked beans. Everyone else got BBQ. The food is amazing here, and served in very large portions, enough for two meals really. The BBQ was superb, and our out of town guests are planning to stop again when they come back around. The fish was incredible, light and crispy, and served with an unusual tartar sauce in which I detected a bit of dill. Between us we had brisket, ribs, BBQ chicken, fried chicken, fried fish, baked beans, French fries, sweet potato fries, authentic collard greens...not to mention the star of the show, IMHO... Yes! My fellow Yelpers, I must dedicate an entire paragraph to the Mac 'n Cheese. OMG it is so unbelievably good. Addictive stuff, hot and creamy and thick and saucy and so so so good! Made with ridged penne pasta to hold more of the cheesy bliss. The portions here are about twice as much as you would expect, and the aforementioned Mac 'n Cheese is no exception. I have been to many points up and down the east coast, sampling the Mac 'n Cheese along the way, and this one is without rival. You've gotta try it with whatever else you are ordering, or you are missing out on nirvana on earth. Thank you and goodnight! Update 2/15/20: Ahhh, just recounting another visit to Heaven....Another perfect dinner at Fat Bob's. Dinner with my wonderful family consisted of BBQ half chicken, brisket, and the BEST crab cakes I have ever had. I know, great seafood dishes at a BBQ joint, but I kid you not. Asked for the legendary tartar sauce with the crab cakes--just as good as I remember it. Speaks to consistency, which I feel is the most important aspect of a great restaurant, and this applies not only to the food but to the atmosphere and level of service. Speaking of servers (sorry, forgot her name--medium length blonde hair) ours was great and made it all look easy even on a busy Saturday night--no small feat!The manager, Melanie, not only got us seated promptly but handled everything up front seamlessly. So impressive! When I called earlier in the day just to see if she could squeeze us in before our show, she managed to do that, and it just added an extra something to an awesome night. She is the real deal--one of those people who seem genuinely interested in making the guest feel welcome, and I hope she'll be there for many years to come. The atmosphere at Fat Bob's continues to be that of people just feeling GOOD! People laughing and having fun but not getting rowdy. It's comfort food and libations served by people who seem to be as happy to be there as you do. What can be better than that? Till we meet again, fellow Yelper... P.S. The Mac 'n Cheese still rocks. read more

My friends suggested that I get dinner from Fat Bob's. It was my turn to plan the date and I decided on food from Fat Bob's and a picnic at the outer harbor. We had about an hour before the torrential downpour that ensued, but it was just enough time to have a glass of wine and finish up dinner. Earlier in the day, I placed my order online. The process was seamless. I asked for a later pickup. At 5:45pm I arrived at their location on Virginia Place and waited at the curbside pickup space. I called their phone number and my order was immediately brought out to me. I liked the entire process and that it was easy and quick. If I would have had to find parking and then get my food and walk back to my car, I wouldn't have chosen Fat Bob's. I'm so glad they offer the curbside pickup and have a designated spot for it. Also, when you order online they ask you to arrive on time, but say if it is 5 minutes early that is fine, but please do not come before then, as space is limited. It makes sense and you would be completely ok with that if you've ever been down Virginia Place. I ordered the brisket sandwich without the roll, the side chosen was collard greens. This was my first time trying collard green and I don't have anything to compare these greens to, but I can say I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. There were large chunks of pork in it and it had such a good flavor. I would definitely order the collard greens again. I also ordered the half a chicken and pulled pork combo and the two sides I picked for this was corn bread and French fries. I also added on the 4 barbecue sauce sampler to try all the flavors. I am big on condiments. I enjoyed all four sauces, but a couple really stood out. Don't ask me which ones, I can't tell you. They weren't labeled. The chicken was moist and good and the pulled pork, I think, was the clear standout. I am not a pork person, but this was stellar and definitely would order the pulled pork again. My boyfriend enjoyed the meal as well. read more

Went to the midwife appointment with my daughter today and the aroma from Fat Bobs was tranquillizing! I knew immediately if they were selling it there, we were having lunch! The beef brisket sandwich was to die for! So good that I felt guilty eating it without my spouse so I ordered one with delicious Mac n cheese to go. My daughter was equally pleased with her pulled pork meal. We both agreed the Cole slaw was a bit wanting. Needed a bit of lemon juice and celery seed and diced onion. Not bad but needs a boost to go with such fantastic beef on a perfect not too thick or squishy bun! When they packed up my takeout they thoughtfully packed the roll separately as it wasn't to be eaten right away. My husband loved this generous portion and great Mac n cheese for supper! Best lunch since we had the same from their food truck at the Buffalo botanical garden craft show earlier this summer! read more

This review is for take out only. So they definitely get stars for getting our order right, having it ready quickly, and because my husband enjoyed his sandwich. But I on the other hand am not the biggest meat eater, and was slightly disappointed with my meal. We ordered: * Texas beef brisket w/ side fries * homemade chicken fingers * 10 fried chicken wings - bbq * side of cornbread * side of mac and cheese * side of coleslaw * side of mashed potatoes My husband really enjoyed the brisket sandwich and fries which were nice and salty, but I found the fries to be a little too thin and well done- like no fry inside ( if that makes sense ). The homemade chicken fingers (4) were the size of chicken breasts and that was just too much for me, I also noticed fat on the chicken and I don't like the texture of fat on chicken- so, didn't really enjoy or eat more than 1. I did enjoy the breading though. The chicken wings were my favorite part of the meal and the bbq sauce was spot on. I didn't try the mac and cheese. I did enjoy the cornbread. The coleslaw severely lacked in flavor and the mashed potatoes were underwhelming. All in all, meh. Nothing to write home about from what we ordered. I would try some other menu items another time but for round 1, I'm not truly impressed by anything here. read more

Cute lil' homestyle vibe restaurant with bar on the other side. Split pretty evenly across, depending on what atmosphere you desire. Went for the diner warmth. Kinda like walking into your living room. If you were an eclectic collector of all things woodsy cabin-esque. The food was good. Nice variety of options for those that dont eat beef or pork. They also have seafood and chicken alternatives. And a pretty solid selection of vegetables prepared in different ways, to fit your needs. read more

We were super excited to try out this new bbq place but it was so underwhelming. :( We went at lunch time (Saturday) but there weren't lot of people. We thought it was because the restaurant's location, but in hindsight, I think it was a sign. We were seated in the back of the restaurant and it was SUPER dark. :( The lighting situation in the restaurant overall isn't that great, but the table we were seated at was the worst. There was also a random fish tank behind the table too (never seen a fish tank at a bbq joint). We ordered a 1/4 rack of ribs with fries and grilled veggies as sides, mac and cheese with pulled pork, and onion rings. The ribs were okay, although it wasn't as flavorful as expected. The bbq sauces were not that unique either, unfortunately. The mac and cheese noodles were EXTREMELY overcooked. It tasted like boxed mac and cheese from a cafeteria (that wasn't hot) that was topped with pulled pork. I think it's probably one of the worst mac and cheeses I've paid for... The onion rings were okay. The batter wasn't too thick, but the onion cuts were very thin. The service was disappointing as well. Even though they weren't that busy, the server didn't check in on us and took a lot of time to get us boxes for the leftovers. Sorry, but probably won't be going back here again. :( read more

I fell in love with Fat Bob's Smokehouse on Saturday and I'm not ashamed of it. I came here for lunch because I wanted fried chicken and this place had some good looking fried chicken. Tucked away off Allen Street this cool little BBQ joint looks great from both the outside and feels cozy and cool on the inside. This place has a pretty standard BBQ style menu with a few wonderful bonuses like fried chicken (duh). The fried chicken dinner comes with two sides (two is better then one) and my choices had to be the mashed potatoes and the fried onion rings! The food didn't take too long to come out and when it did I had trouble not drooling at the sight of it, because it looks OH SO GOOD. The fried chicken itself was delicious (not the best I've ever had or anything, but extremely good), it was the perfect mixture of crunchy breading and juicy meat. The mashed potatoes were terrific and so were the onion rings (I really really loved the onion rings). On top of the meal itself it came with sausage gravy which I pretty much had with everything, it was basically heaven sauce. Overall, Fat Bob's Smokehouse was a fantastic experience. The food was phenomenal, the staff was super friendly, and the place itself was wonderful as well. If you love BBQ or just great food in general, come give this place a try pronto! read more

Fat Bob's is a staple in the Allentown area within Buffalo. If you've never been there, you've definitely heard of it. I should mention before anything else that I'm not a huge barbecue eater. It's not my favorite food, but I'll have it once in a blue moon if my friends/family are in the mood for it. Every time I come here I make reservations because space is limited and it's pretty popular! Service is always fantastic and food comes out in a timely manner. We ordered a combo platter with fried chicken, brisket, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and collard greens. The brisket and pulled pork were delicious, but I was let down by the chicken and mac & cheese. The chicken was pretty dry, and the mac & cheese really wasn't anything out of the ordinary, despite it being one of their more popular dishes. I'll definitely end up back at Fat Bob's in the future. Maybe not until my friends are craving barbecue, but I'll suggest here nonetheless! read more
