Stopped by on a Thursday evening around 5pm and there was plenty of parking spots and seating. Order from an extensive menu at the counter and your food gets brought to you. They have salads, burgers, wraps, and sides at fairly reasonable prices for the serving size. Burgers are about $10-15 while sides are $2-3. The original burger is a half pounder and it tasted great! It was juicy enough albeit a little on the saltier side. The veggies on top are fresh and generously added while the burger was neatly wrapped for to-go. The sweet potato fries were fresh and delicious. read more

We were in the area for the lights and seen this place was nearby, so we tried it out. Parking is limited and there is an attached beer garden as well. You go up to counter to order then they call your number when food is ready. When you walk in it looks like there is limited seating but there is more seating to the left. We ordered a blue cheese burger, Deuce Burger and a crispy chicken salad. The burgers were delicious and its a good size patty. The chicken was good in the salad. Nice local spot with great tasting burgers and tried the blackberry cobbler that was good as well. We took that to go. You get the small ma/pa shop feel. If Im in the area, I would definitely revisit the place. Note that the prices on the board show a lower price than what it really is. read more

I'm a frequent flyer here because the food & service are always great! I tried the Southwest chicken wrap this time and it was delicious. Comes with fresh kettle chips. Burgers & fries are always great too! We sat outside under the pavilion and listened to the live music. It was a good end to our Friday night! read more

Once again, loving this spot. On our way thru to SA for the weekend and starving after a long day. It's Friday, so it was busy, but they seemed to be moving along smoothly. Tried the Friday Fish and Shrimp plate and oooweee. It was DEE-Lish! The chili cheese tater tots the hubs got hit the spot for that much needed added spice! They had live music outside and the weather was perfect! And it wasn't blaring loud like a lot of other spots we have been. Just the right atmospher read more

Terrible service. Two girls stayed on their phones while customers kept asking for ice. No ice in the machine. No soda. Girls looked at you like something was wrong by asking them for something. Saw a lady bring something out of her hamburger that was not supposed to be there. Tables all messy. Floor terrible. Our burgers were overcooked/burnt. Someone needs to manage the place. read more

Seems to be a family favorite stopping by here from or to Dallas or even midway (Temple). Also seems to be a very popular spot for most as well with the ample cars parked along side the restaurant! This spot is known for their burgers and fairly priced food and a good amount of it too! It's the one that my husband raves about when coming through Johnson City. Lots of space to sit and eat. Husband's usual order is the Chili cheese Burger and he enjoyed every bit to where there's none left for left overs. This time I tried their Hatch Chili Burger and I thought it was made perfectly! My son loves their grilled cheese (which is what he usually eats anyways haha). Workers there seem nice and approachable! We'll be back as usual if they're not too busy! read more

I passed by this unassuming little gem several times before giving it a try. I wish I would have stopped sooner because the burgers are amazing. Flavorful, not dry and not greasy. Just right! The buns were fresh and all of the fixings were high quality. Nice little mom and pop vibe as well. read more

Stopped at this place on the way to Burnet thinking it is a chain restaurant. Actually it is not! It was really busy... I was happy to stand in line to order my food. Once I know it is family owned I get really excited about the establishment The place is super cute! Very Texas like! The service is really efficient even though they were busy! I opted to wrap my burger with lettuce to reduce the calories and avoid gluten. Even with that it was extremely delicious! The second burger we got we kept the bun, it had mushroom in it. I highly recommend it! I also ordered the banana pudding! I will definitely return on one of these road trips! read more

Fat Boy Burgers - Chicken Wings Near Me - Johnson City, Texas

Seriously, this was amazing. Burgers were generous portions and well made. Chili cheese fries were life changing. 10/10

Easy lil place to get some food. We got the dyra burger, a chicken bacon wrap and side of screaming eagle. Burger is a good classic burger. Had a nice charred taste to it. Fries have a lovely seasoning that is a little spicy. Something about the texture wasn't my favorite though. The chicken bacon wrap is nothing special, I wouldn't get it again. But I did fairly enjoy the house made chips. Screaming eagle not my favorite, I wish there was some of the spice from the jalapeño left but the chipotle ranch was a nice touch. Everything is very reasonable for the price. read more

This place is new to us. It's kind of a small place with limited seating inside. However, they do have quite a bit on seating out back in the beer garden area. There is no table service and you order at the counter. If you like beer with your food, they have a nice selection of bottled beer ( Bud Light, Modelo, XX, Corona, Shiner, Lone Star, etc. My hubby and I both ordered the Dyna meal. It's a 1/4 lb burger, fries, and a 16 oz drink for $9.95. I must say that it's a pretty good meal deal. The burger was nicely prepared. I got mine without mustard and mayo, and was still juicy and delicious. The fries came out piping hot. I couldn't finish them because it was a really good sized side. For dessert, we shared a blackberry cobbler ala mode. It was a bit disappointing because it was mostly breading and hardly any of the filling. I think the best part was the ice cream. Overall, it was a delicious dining experience sans the cobbler. read more

First off the cashier was super friendly and talked to us as we waited for our food. Dont be in a hurry its all made to order. I ordered the southwestern chicken wrap and chili cheese tots. Hubs had the crispy chicken burger and chili cheese fries. Tots were crispy! Love me some crispy tots. Chicken wrap is very tasty and big! Hubs liked his crispy chicken sandwich. It was also BIG. Come hungry you wont be disappointed!!! read more

It looks like a typical small town local joint when you see it, but don't let that stop you! Definitely some great food to be had when you come in. I didn't order anything special--although they do have specialty burgers for people who want more than the usual. Their house burger was pretty dang good, cooked with flavor and juicy but NOT greasy (you know, with the ingredients sliding around between the buns making it sloppy and hard to eat). Just got fries on the side, and those were just as good, with a flip of seasoned salt on em. Had to get kids' meals too, and there's actually 4 to choose from! The kid burger was also cooked with care, the hot dog was big, the grilled cheese fresh, and the chicken tenders came with gravy! No skimping just because it's a children's meal! I'm sure you're thinking "it's popular so it'll be expensive!" Not really; two adults and six kids ate for $65, each combo including fries and a drink (I upsized the adult drinks to large). Considering two adult combos at Whataburger can cost almost $30, this is well within range for fresh food. There's lots of seating inside (though it's a little tight) and outdoor seating if you have restless littles. The people were friendly and kept the space clean and cozy. Food came out fresh and exactly what we ordered. Recommend their huge chocolate chip cookie for dessert. :) Seriously, this is a small sleeper. Lots of locals were coming in to get food to go, and I can see why. Definitely recommending this place to others, and I'll also come back. read more

Great place to eat. Everything is great. Very kind staff. Fair prices. I highly recommend this place

First time and definitely coming back! Great menu choices- something for everyone! We had "The Duece", a1/3 lb with mushrooms, grilled onions and Swiss cheese. Best one I've had in years! Also, "The Guaco", 1/3 lb with guacamole, L/T/O, cheddar. Subbed with pepper jack. Spot on! Tots were cooked to order and plenty to share. Had a banana pudding, too! Tastes so good and just the right touch to finish our Sunday lunch! Wendy took our order and as it slowed down a bit she checked in on us. All of the crew knew what to do and given the amount of customers coming in, they were very prompt and attentive! Casual setting, right along 281, so easy access. Closed on Mondays. Inside and outside tables, super friendly! read more

Classic road-house burger kind of place. Great atmosphere, definitely a local favorite judging by the packed dining room. Had the classic hamburger combo, pretty standard patty and fries, but it was nice and hot. Yikes, they gave me a quarter-head of lettuce on the burger, but that was easy enough to remedy. On the whole I'd recommend stopping in and supporting local business. Be sure that you have lots of time, though. Fat Boy may serve burgers but it's not a fast-food outlet, you'll be waiting on your food to be cooked to order, and they take their sweet time. This place scores a 4 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

The service was quick and straightforward, and the menu was easy to navigate. There was plenty of seating, and a condiment station in the back room added convenience. The chicken wrap wasn't warm, but I believe it was meant to be served cold. The chicken tenders were excellent--five generous pieces--and the tater tots were cooked to perfection, crispy and delicious. The prices were very reasonable, making for a solid dining experience with good food overall read more

We love stopping here on our way to Stephenville from San Antonio. The burgers are delicious and the sweet potato fries are some of my favorites. Highly recommend!! read more

My buddy and I stopped by here on our drive from North of Dallas. We were starving and this place sounded amazing. We both thought our burger was perfectly cooked. We both got the deuce which is the 1/2 pound burger with grilled onions and mushrooms. I felt like the onion rings were under seasoned and kinda "meh" but the burger was amazing. My buddy devoured his chili-cheese fries and his burger. Overall the place is super good and I would highly recommend it. I am willing to bet it is a fun spot to be at night, drinking a few, enjoying the night. read more

After a short hiking adventure at Perdenales Falls state park we were hungry & decided on Fat Boy Burgers. The positives about this place is that the burgers are homemade and huge. You can actually probably share one with your significant other if you're not starving and it has a really good price point and it's very close to the park as you exit and leave those were the only positive things that I could say about this place actually it has a nice little atmosphere and it's a cute little place to either sit outdoors or sit inside. the thing that was disappointing was the service is horrific. I understand that a lot of these businesses are privately owned. I also understand it's a very small town, but if you want to stay in business service is your second most important item that you can give to your customers walking into the place the people in the back are yelling at everybody to keep the door closed. The cashier doesn't really greet you. It's kind of just like a little statue there and they just kept yelling at customers to keep the door closed because the line was starting to form outside the restaurant . if that's such a big problem, they need to put a big sign that says do not leave the door open They were just rude across the board and even though the burger was good and the price was decent. I will not go back oh and their three dollar onion rings are disgusting. It's like deep fried in some kind of donut batter. read more

Cool vibe food was very disappointing. Maybe it was just a bad day but I won't be going back to try again. Fries were dried out to absolutely crunchy. Least juicy burger I have ever had-tasted ok thank goodness. Ate it on the "don't waste meat" personal rule I have. Great menu selection of types of burgers. Bad execution. read more

Hands down the best onion rings we have had in years! They were hand-battered, crispy, and not greasy. The burgers and fries were delicious, too. Good selection of beverages, and the iced tea is perfect. The place may sit just off the highway, but there is cool indoor seating and lots of shaded outdoor seating. Good friendly service gets Fatboy Burgers a fifth star. We will definitely stop here again. read more

Found this gem on a road trip. Highly recommend stopping in for a burger, chicken sandwich or beer. We ordered the fat boy burger (added grilled onions) and the American (with jalapeño bun). Both were delicious. I recommend ordering on the jalapeño bun. The French fries were just okay but the sweet potato fries, zach's way were good! read more

They have the best catfish. Just wish it was always on the menu. We drive from Austin on Fridays just for the catfish plate

Meh. Passed by this burger joint in Johnson City traveling on 281. Turned around to come try it out. Got the special which was an Original Fat Boy with fries and drink. Original Fat Boy Burger 4/10 - the burger is a 1/2 lb with fixings. The patty unfortunately was pretty tasteless. After adding lots of salt and pepper, some semblance of flavor started to appear. Very disappointed. The veggies didn't seem as fresh as they should have. Average at best. The fries were average, nothing special. Service 3/10 - everyone seemed rushed and not friendly at all. No one smiled the entire time. Come on! Not impressed with the staff. Atmosphere 6/10 - it was good. Clean, fair amount of room and decorated good. Overall 3/10 - I want to give them another chance as maybe it was an off day? https://g.co/kgs/EskHoX Fat Boy Burgers (830) 868-0264 #fatboyburgers read more

If I could do 10 stars I would. One of the best burgers I have ever had.it had a perfect balance of grease on it. I had the DYNA meal with no cheese.my brother got the same thing but no tomatoes but it was kinda dry so I don't recommend. But overall best burger joint around. read more

This is no doubt a local favorite. There was a steady stream of customers for the 1+ that we sat at our table. Fortunately for us, it looked like we hit just before the lunch rush. Now for the food!.... Starting with the Screaming Eagle Jalapeño Strips: Yes ma'am!! These things were really good. Fresh jalapeños cut lengthwise into strips, battered in tempura, and deep fried with a side of their Comeback Sauce. They say it's called Comeback Sauce because after you've tasted it, you'll comeback for more. They weren't wrong. It's a chipotle mayo sauce type dip that was definitely good! The only down was how much they charge for an extra sauce if you're so into it that you end up with your jalapeño strips outlasting your available Comeback Sauce... Dyna Meal (1/4lb Cheeseburger, fries, and a 16oz drink): Handmade Burger, fries and a coke for under $10? Good deal about any way you serve it. burger was cooked nicely. Great flavor. Meat was just right, not overdone, and well-seasoned. Fresh toppings and a fresh bun. Fries however, we're undercooked. That was a bit of a bummer because they had potential to be awesome fires. Perhaps the kitchen was a bit overwhelmed as the rush was comin' on. ‍ 1/2lb Bacon Cheesburger: This was a REALLY well built burger. Meat was cooked wonderfully (medium well. Not a grey briquet like you get at fast food chains that are afraid of the burger bugs) It could've used a little more love from the seasoning fairy but now I'm just being picky. The bacon was thicker cut, cooked nicely. Not too floppy and greasy and not hard like the stuff they use for takin' bacon bits. They have an outdoor seating area if you so choose that looks like they have live music quite often. If I lived here, I'd be back on these cool fall evenings ready for good burgers and great music. read more

Went to Johnson City to see the christmas lights and came to this spot since all the restaurants had long wait times. Got the burgers and screaming eagle strips. The burgers were huge, pretty good.

Deeeelicious! Everything was made to order, friendly service from both the bus boy and the cashier. And not crazy expensive. Absolutely would go back!

Not a huge fan. We hit this joint on our way back to San Antonio following a weekend camping trip. Arrived right at noon, and were met with a line almost out the door. Okay, no big deal. What was a big deal is how long it took for us to actually order. Look, I'm perfectly fine with friendly people behind the counter, but not during the Sunday lunch rush. I mean, I'm not saying I want employees to be rude, I just think there should be more focus on moving people through the line efficiently when there's a crowd. Love the ambiance of the place and the cool outdoor seating area. Seems like a good joint for entertainment. We had the perfect weather to sit outside. Food was decent. The burger was definitely worth the price, but the patty was under seasoned and the patty/bun ratio was off, which left last bites of mostly bread. Tots and fries were perfect, though. I had one additional issue with service. As we waited for our food, wait staff delivered food to a family of six seated near. Now, Fat Boy Burgers serves their food in those plastic baskets with a piece of paper - no big deal, but what I saw struck me as unsanitary. As the food was delivered, I noticed the orders stacked up on one large tray. In other words, the burger buns came into DIRECT CONTACT with the BOTTOM side of those plastic baskets. Look, I'm sure the plastic baskets are clean, but you never know what happens during food preparation. If you're going to stack food that way, fine, but add a piece of paper or SOMETHING so there's no possible contamination.....or how about using a second tray so you don't stack the orders? read more

After a visit to science mill, we were super hungry and with a quick Yelp search, decided to try out FBB, it was bit late lunch and as it was super hot on the outside, so inside dine in was almost full. It's bit tight inside and not clean, so many flies, there was only one person who was cleaning the table, wiping the table and goes inside and brings the food out, no washing hands, gloves are whatsoever. we ordered chicken wings, chicken burgers with jalapeño bread I think, onion rings, curly fries, chicken tenders( kids meal ) Chicken wings were just ok. curly fries were not crispy but hot( temperature wise ) my husband liked his chicken burger, but it was almost $10ish but doesn't come with any side with it. onion rings were like literally drenched in the oil. kid's chicken strips, on the menu it says, it comes with gravy, which wasn't there, only strips and fries, they gave so much fries, it was sticking together like one big lump and not a bit crispy. They dint bring out all the dishes at the same time, and kids meal was the last, it would've been nice if we got the kids meal first. read more
