    Shrimp po boy
    Sharad B.

    Tried the shrimp po' boy and it was decent but didn't quite wow me. The shrimp were nicely fried, bread was good, but the overall flavor didn't stand out. Service was fast and friendly, though, so I'd give them another shot to try something else on the menu.

    I can't speak highly enough about Michael and Fat Boys Food Truck! We needed hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries and onion rings to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Michael was super responsive and helpful in helping me get the menu together and the pricing was very reasonable. On the day of the event, they were friendly, professional and even wiggled into a tight corner to make our event a great success. They fed our crowd of 80 as quickly as possible. The food was hot and a big hit! Thank you!

    (Dined 04/10/21 SA @ 12:15pm): Boy... I could get fat if I kept eating at Mike's food truck! I recently enjoyed a couple beers at Over Town Brewing Co. when I saw Fat Boys Food Truck as the day's food option and was immediately smitten by the name and logo https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nTHvAYpeKxts5kKF1e_ECg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Prior to these COVID-19 times, I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, yet this was the first time I've ever seen this road restaurant and had to try them out. Would the use of the word "fat" be any indication of the style of food they served!? QUICK BIO "Fat Boys is a Los Angeles food truck specializing in American style cuisine with flair and an ever-changing yet concise menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FzZTvdY_VbJB_IQ5jRXGdw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw". PURCHASE Chicken Mike Sandwich + Fried Egg ($10.95 + $1.00): Their signature dark meat fried chicken sandwich on a grilled brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of spicy or garlic aioli (I chose spicy) with an added semi-running fried egg, this was a messy two-hander that had juices and egg running down your chin and all over your hands, the chicken was thick, moist on the inside and extra crunchy on the outside. This was one mother-cluckin' yummy bird https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=j8XFhQOy54pQilo35BgqfQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 5.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($5.95): A large portion size of mainly large thick rings, these were hot, lightly browned, crunchy, didn't crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (possible sweet Maui!) stayed intact. Nice flavor and truly didn't need any sort of dipping sauce. I seriously thought about another order for the road https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L7au8iKnx8KEo7rzLVawHw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I dealt with one individual - a male who actually worked at Over Town Brewing Co. who quickly took my food order, and about fifteen minutes later the same person brought my meal! Easy, efficient, and friendly - all good! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever they were serving food. I drove myself since I was relatively in the area for other errands. Otherwise, the venue was at Over Town Brewing Co. which had plenty of surrounding all-day free parking around the entire place. Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with exterior menus, order and pick up windows, an area for condiments, napkins, and utensils, no designated seating area, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs while background music came from a nearby business. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Fat Boys Food Truck was a surprising treat and would consider them again to potentially complete their limited menu (although I rarely ate red meat I'd try one of their Angus burgers) which didn't have any drinks which wasn't a concern this time around. The prices were food truck standard so no deals here. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $20.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS

    Thank You Chef Michael @ Fat Boys for catering our Anniversary dinner and brunch in palm springs. This was amazing food experience to our taste buds.

    Food Truck for work
    Sean S.

    Another food truck for work. 2nd time my employer has used this truck in 2 months so obviously everyone is satisfied. Prompt and professional, these folks were great. I'm guessing about125 people and everyone was happy. Personally, I had the steak fried which were very good. Too good as I would've been satisfied with just half, but I ate the other half anyway. Burgers, chicken wrap, fries, onion rings and some really good cheese cake. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry! Enjoy

    Michael and his team were exceptional for an event I hosted. He communicated professionally prior to the event and was amazing during. He showed up exactly when he said he would and every person we served was extremely pleased with what they got. Service was quick from when people ordered to when they had food in hand. His food was awesome. It was getting compliments all throughout the event from everyone. His team was so easy to work with and so friendly the whole time. The next event I have will definitely include Fat Boys!

    Juan F.

    Met up with an old co-worker at Ogopogo and this truck was right outside. He came back with fried chicken and fries and I was surprised as to how crispy, tender and flavorful they were! Will definitely get more food next time I am at the Brewery.

    Where do I start?!!!! Michael and his team catered my wedding on October 28th in Joshua Tree and the food and service exceeded every expectation I had! If you're looking for absolutely delicious food, Fat Boys is the way to go! Even better, Michael and his team were so wonderful to work with. I called Michael months ago to talk about menu options. Right from the start he worked with us to customize the menu of our dreams -- brunch for dinner! He served fluffy french toast topped with seasonal berries, banana & whipped cream, their signature fried chicken and Belgian waffle topped with butter and bourbon-infused maple syrup (this was a HUGE HIT!!!), and homemade buttermilk biscuits topped with a creamy vegetarian gravy. Folks also got a choice of scrambled eggs (one with with Boursin cheese, truffle oil & chives and the other with mushrooms), plus deep fried diced potatoes with sauteed onions, bell peppers, and garlic, a choice of bacon or sausage (a veggie option as well), and fresh fruit. Michael also ordered compostable plates and silverware, checked in monthly, ordered back up generators, etc. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect. He is so humble, kind, and accommodating! And his team -- just amazing people! He brought a crew with him and they tackled electricity issues, wind, and bumpy backcountry roads to make our day incredible. We are SO SO GRATEFUL!!! AND THE FOOD! OMG! The most delicious and beautifully plated brunch I've ever had. Everyone came up to us throughout the night to tell us how amazing their dinner was. People went nuts over the brown butter, too! The team handled 100 guests so seamlessly, and with a huge smile on their faces. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you're looking for an EPIC menu and top-notch service, I highly recommend Fat Boys. Thank you Michael for making our wedding day such a massive success!!!!

Very professional. There was no signs of moodiness or exhaustion. Bravo to the hardworking staff!!! SEABASS: 10/10 Star of the show! The fish was cooked perfectly. It was soft on the inside and a pinch of joyful crunch on the outside. However, I did not like the mash potatoes because it had a very weird taste... PRIME RIB DIP: 8/10 Not bad.

ARTICHOKES: 7/10 Very dry. We had to replace it with another appetizer... SPINACH DIP: 9/10 Delicious!!! The dip's flavor and texture really stood out...

They were warm (not hot) and it was difficult to get any meat off of them. I rarely ask for something to be sent back but especially for the price point here, these were not OK. We let them know that they were undercooked. The chokes were gone for a while and when they came back they were slightly better so we just made due and realized that they just weren't very good artichokes. Also, though the heart was good, the flavor of the leaves was not great and the dipping sauce was nothing special. They were covered with diced onions for some reason. When it's $21 for three halves, it was very disappointing.

    I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

    Come here for the drinks, vibes and brunch…read more Their breakfast options are better than their dinner service. I can't eat here for dinner as a vegetarian, they have little to no options. Would it kill them to add a veggie burger? Service is consistently awful. I've been here half a dozen times and I've never had good service. Drinks and water are never refilled unless I ask. It takes forever to get our order and once we do our server disappears. Seriously so bad. But I keep coming back for their good food.

    You know I've been coming to Foothill for quite sometime now, and my experiences were always good!!…read moreThe bartenders and service were usually good. However, I came tonight with my sister, and it started off wrong. The valet guy was very unprofessional and disrespectful towards my sister. He let a person in front of her valet park, and then when she came after that person/car, he had told her that the valet was full. However, it was two people/cars behind her that he told them they can park and he will be right with them. He had said that it's because they are related to the owners, but I felt that was quite unreasonable to say mainly when you have people dining out to have a good experience, and spend their money. This put a bad taste in my mouth, but we still decided to stay because we love the food and we haven't been for a while. Luckily, out of all the employees the hostess was the best. Very nice and sat us down rapidly. Unfortunately, for our server, Carolyn I'll give a 2 1/2 star for her. I felt that she kept moving fast and wasn't really passionate about her job. We wanted light sauce and no cheese on one of our entrees and she basically said that it's best to order something else since the chef couldn't do it. She took the plate back, and my sister decide to get devil eggs. They were delicious though, I Just felt she wasn't accommodating at all. Even when we ordered the lava cake and on the menu it didn't mention that it had caramel on it, we don't eat caramel at all and it did not mention on menu, and she simply said all the ingredients are not on the menu all the time. So what made this annoying is that we asked her about and what was on the lava cake and she said it was just a plain lava cake. Hmmm just felt that she was very dry and nonchalant and did not care. Made me feel uncomfortable to tell her about the food. Shouldn't feel that way as a patron. I ordered the lemon herb chicken w/ sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. It was great and tasted delicious!! Happy of my choice! For my drink I had Prosecco and a lemon drop, that was very tasty. Will try that again the bartender was on point. The ambiance was perfect they have a nice seating outside with tv, and nice indoor seating. The bar has a tv and a good hang out spot. They have brunch on the weekends that looks delicious so I would want to try again, but after today I'm not sure because of the service from valet and our server. I really love Foothill!! Good food and atmosphere, but tonight was not it!!! Valet is $5.00 and they do cash or zelle only. -Dr. Marshay Dede

Although there's no dress code, most folks dressed in business casual or nicer. The food was delicious. Because it was shared family style, they split it across two plates, which kept the presentation nice and clean. The corn agnolotti is a must - the brown butter sauce, roasted corn, shallot, and ricotta cheese combination was perfection. The shrimp penne was also excellently executed. I also ordered the sea bass. The fish was good, but the sauce and vegetables lacked flavor depth. The drinks were also great. I got the berry mojito mocktail - it was one of the best mocktails I had. The service was above and beyond in all aspects. Think of the most ideal type of service at a restaurant - that's what I received. Overall, I had an incredible meal and dining experience at The Arbour. I'd come back for a special occasion and I recommend others to visit.
