On our way from Pigeon Forge, we were looking for a local place for lunch and ran across Fat Hat's. Had lots of 5 star reviews and we said let's give it a whirl!! It's a small local burger joint. We had a burger and onion rings!! The meal was over the top!! Best burger I've had in a long time and the onion rings were off the chain!! Will definitely be back!! And Emily was precious!!!

Fat Hat's Grill - Burger and okra. So so good. - Burgers Near Me - Sweetwater, Tennessee

This place doesn't look like much from the outside but trust me, you want to eat here! The food is so good, the staff is so friendly and you'll get a good time feel too. Dining in takes some time, so be patient, it's worth the wait. The onion rings are so delicious and so much better than any I've had. Burger was juicy and perfect. Seriously a must stop! read more

Went here based on reviews and glad we did. My husband ordered a burger and fries and he said they were really good. But I ordered the bacon ranch chicken wrap, based on Emily's ( the owner's daughter's) recommendation. I'm glad I listened because it was really good!! Plus I got onion rings- that were fabulous. We enjoyed the food and talking to Emily, made for a memorable visit!!! read more

Well, we usually rave about Fat Hats. The onion rings are awesome, but tonight, not so much. We ordered supper to go. Not sure if they have new cooks but everything was over cooked. Asked for slaw on one of the burgers, no slaw. The fish plate, the fish was over cooked and it was supposed to come with hush puppies, no hush puppies. The burgers were underwhelming and undersized.Maybe it was an off night. We usually get lunch and it's always been awesome, but this was the first time we got food there for supper. Maybe we will just stick to lunch or just eat local to us instead of going to Sweetwater. read more

This is a small town diner. If you get there during prime hours, you may have to wait for a table! We had a bacon cheese burger with fries and a grilled ham & cheese with Diet Cokes. Both were yummy. They also have ice cream, shakes & serve breakfast in the morning. We will be back! read more

I love going to little local spots like this. Old school dinner, still have to go outside to restrooms in back. The staff was super friendly and told me I need to get the onion rings, they are hand cut and dipped, not like the frozen ones you get every where else. Gave it 4 stars because the food was just average. Do want to go back next time I'm up that way and try their breakfast. read more

Hometown place the burgers are great and the onion rings are a must. Always clean and friendly

The food was good, the service was ok was not outstanding or on top of things. We never were asked for refills. Maybe we were supposed to get up and ask..not sure. The staff were friendly though! The restaurant looks like an old DQ or other restaurant, nothing fancy however the fries were fresh, burgers were juicy and yummy. For us to go in grab late lunch before hitting the road was perfect, it was 3 pm and the place was filled and people coming to get food to go. read more

1st time eating there. Our omelets were fantastic as were the home fries. The service was great. If we are ever back down that way we will definitely stop again. read more

Just a small town burger place that has great service and great food! I got the double burger (cooked to order) and it was delicious and huge! My husband got the catfish and hush puppies and the taste was amazing. Definitely coming back..... read more

This is a great place to stop in for a meal. We had burgers and fries and onion rings. The onion rings are definitely homemade and awesome! The burgers were fresh beef patties, not frozen pucks which makes all the difference. Do yourself a favor and stop in! read more

Very inviting staff, and the food was amazing. I am definitely going to back and highly recommended!

13 Boy Scouts and 6 adult leaders descended on Fat Hat's Grill on a late Saturday afternoon. The first thing I thought was there are lots of people here for this time of day which is a good sign for the food but we're a big group and will be hard to get seated. I thought they might not actually be happy to see our rowdy group. Nope. We met a warm welcome, pretty quick service, and good, good food. If I lived here, I would be a regular. Definitely will stop here again if I'm in the area! read more

Good food, small seating. Full order of onion rings is HUGE. Small town atmosphere, very friendly servers. read more

Great meat and veggies restaurant. Good service friendly atmosphere. The burgers are fantastic, but I like there daily specials

Great place for a burger, fries and a milk shake. They stay pretty busy and there isn't a ton of seating but service is pretty quick and the prices are reasonable. Has the small town 60s dinner type of feel. They often run specials on certain days of the week like catfish Fridays. It's also a pretty spot popular for breakfast. read more

If you're looking for a burger full of FLAVOR FatHats is your place! They also have Beans and Cornbread! Down home atmosphere, where everyone knows everyone pretty much.

When you walk through the humble door of fat hats we too did not expect a miraculous meal to land on our taste buds. The sandwiches and burgers were filled with flavor supreme. The meat was delicate and tender, the bun was crisp. We all especially loved our side dishes the okra was crisp, and the fries were crisp and non oily. The service will not disappoint with the warm ambiance and the smiling faces, at Fat Hats you are home. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. This is an diamond in the rough. Laid back feeling with burgers and food made the way it use to be. Short order food that will make you want to drive a little further to get it. Staff was super friendly and a great help in getting the food you are wanting. My double burger was just that. It was a two hand double that was dripping out the bottom with flavor. I wish I would have taken a picture but it didn't stay on the plate long enough to photograph. We will be back to Fat Heads. read more

I had a cheese burger with bacon and a side of potato salad. The service was fast and the food good. They get super busy at lunchtime but pump out the food quickly and it tastes great. read more

Small cute mom and pop diner that cooks Home made everything, awesome service always friendly. Homemade burgers and onion rings are my favorite read more

This was our first time and our meal came out fast and tasted great. Service was fantastic! Looking forward to going again.

Truthfully, tear down the building or put your business in a place big enough for customers to have someplace to sit and park. I don't like to go there because wait for a table is not how I like to start a meal. I get their big burger, nothing special about the sandwich but my spou likes their fries. The people are nice but look like they are field workers who pick up extra money waitressing, try keeping yourself looking clean read more

You know the restaurants where the serves are mean to you but it's a joke...well it's the same concept at Fat Hat's except it's not a joke. The food makes up for it! The burgers are real beef and made fresh to order along with the fries. Splurge on the onion rings and the dip dog that is dipped in the onion ring batter. The restaurant is clean and they play country music which is the perfect compliment for this local dive. Parking can be tight and during breakfast and lunch, seating may be limited because there are only 10 tables inside. For the best burger in town, it's all totally worth it!! read more

This is the definition of a hole in the wall place. It looks questionable from the outside but the food and services are above and beyond! The staff was super nice. The food was cooked fresh to order and was reasonably priced. I would recommend to anyone driving through the area to stop and try this place! We stopped after going to the Lost Sea adventure for lunch and it was the right choice! read more

We stumbled upon this charming place when visiting downtown Loudon. It was busy, but worth with the wait. They had a nice selection on the menu, however, we got the special, which was a grilled cheese sandwich and beef cabbage soup. We also ordered the onion rings. Our food was delicious, and the onion rings were amazing! The burgers that were going to other tables were HUGE and looked delicious!! I wish I had taken a picture of our food, but sadly I did not. I took a picture of the menu so that I would remember the name of the place. :) The staff was so friendly and made us feel welcome! You must give this jewel a try! read more

The burgers are nice and well done and the pickles are nice and crunchy. The curly fries are some of the best I have had, and their chicken is good too. All in all, good service and good food. read more

Awesome onion rings! Good sized portions. Good service and quick prep. Home type atmosphere.

The employees were super friendly and helpful. I walked in like a lost puppy, not knowing if I was supposed to seat myself or order at the counter then sit down. I was greeted kindly and taken care of. The food was filling, burger was juicy, and the toppings tasted fresh. It is a small place I found by accident but am glad I did. You can smell the grease in the air but what do you expect from a smaller building cooking deep fried food? The price was about average. They offer carry out as well. If you like burgers, it is worth stopping by. They offer more than just burgers, but I have to wait to experience them. read more

Great burgers, delicious milkshakes, and quick service. Thanks for a great experience!

Stumbled upon this place during a trip to the Lost Sea. The kids and I loved the cheeseburgers, hot dogs and fries. In fact, I think the little ones even finished all of their hot dogs! The place was filled with locals during the lunch rush. It was a nice find for a good local burger joint. read more

We stopped in here Saturday for a quick bite before an appointment. The owners were in there serving food and waiting on guests. I like a small town owner who works. The burger was perfectly cooked. The fried were crispy. The bun was fresh and the whole meal was less than twenty bucks. Going back? You bet ya. read more
