Good food &, good service and clean. Located close to the interstate with easy access.

Food was good, service was great. This was a very easy stop off 95z. Recommended fried okra.

Food, service were all excellent! My husband had fried cat fish and slaw and I had a steak and fries. Both were done perfectly. We sat on the patio which was clean and inviting. Would highly recommend Fat Jacks! read more

We were spending the night in the area and walked to Fat Jack's for dinner. We were seated outside promptly, and our waitress was quick and attentive. Big pour of wine for $5. My husband enjoyed his entree and my sides were good. I'm dinging a star due to lack of any vegan entrees, but they probably don't get that many of us in these parts. Overall, a pleasant experience. read more

Traveling back down to Florida and was pleasantly surprised that Fat Jacks is still here! We ate here 3 years ago and loved it so we searched it out on this trip for lunch Whole rack of ribs, corn bread, slaw, sweet potato fries so good! Dessert of brownie with ice cream . Our waitress Shanekqua (sorry if spelling is wrong) was excellent, friendly, great recommendations. We will be back next trip up North. read more

Service was great. Food was great. Even the bathrooms were clean. (And I never think that) My complaint was a simple fix but would make a big impact. We are here on a Saturday night at peak time. Only 8 or 9 tables occupied. Here's why. For starters, it's too bright in there. Temperature is a slight bit chilly. Booths have no cushions. Outdoor seating is charming but not offered at the door. On a social scale it's a 3 Here's what I would do if it were mine. Lower the lights a bit. Add some high tops to the bar area to make bar more inviting. Turn the air down just a little. Have the hostess recommend the choice of indoor or outdoor seating. (Outdoor seating already is social and pretty) And of course add some cushions to those booths. I'm sure if those changes were made there would certainly be a lot less empty seating on a Saturday night. But then I might have to wait for a table.. so there's that read more

Hoping this will let me post a picture. We had a carryout order and only had minimal contact with staff, but the two young ladies were courteous and fast. No problem there. The little we saw of the interior was clean, modern, and inviting. The problem was the food. Absolutely the worst steak ever served to any one. It was so rare that I believe it's illegal. Frozen veggies at a 4 star price. Maybe it was just one of those things. I know stuff happens and we took it to go so we couldn't allow them to correct it. Oh, and either no seasoning on the ribeye or just a ribeye beyond help. Over $30 mind you. Perhaps it was just a one off, bad timing thing. We will never know because we will never go back. read more

Absolutely fantastic team working at this restaurant! We were a group of 25+ people who came in without warning on a Friday night. I'm assuming the owner (it was a nice older gentleman) started working immediately to get us seated, and it was not an easy feat. We were seated in less than 15 minutes and they were busy! Our waitress, Carol, was PHENOMENAL! She was beyond accommodating for such a large group, kept our orders straight, and kept a smile the whole time. The food was also top notch! We got the absolute gamut of food and nobody had complaints! If we are ever in the area again, we will absolutely be visiting again! Great service and amazing food...you can't ask for better! read more

First and probably only time here. Wanted to sit outside. It was a nice evening and the dining area is very brightly lit and unappealing. Cranky server/ manager (?) immediately said no it's too busy out there and sat us inside. Wanted to leave but it was late and I didn't know the neighborhood. Steak was very good, though and we had a nice server. Overall it was just ok but I wouldn't go back. read more

On the way to Florida from DC, we took I-95 exit 57 in SC for a dilnner break. Fast food places did not have seating. And by coincidence, we saw the sign for Fat Jack's.. yelp reviews said nice things about the place. Very nice outdoor seating, and the delicious seafood dinners made us mark our maps for this spot on I-95, for future trips. Grilled Atlantic salmon dishes were terrific. Bakesd sweet potato, vegetables, salads and aide dishes... all were very good. Next time we'll try several other seafood dishes, as tonüght the generous portons would not let us go for seconds. :) read more

Overall *** 2.83 Stars on my weighted grading scale. To be fair Walterboro is not a dining destination and more of a driving I95 reprieve, There are very few options and I thought I was going to a "local" establishment so there was a huge letdown factor for me. Bottom line, if Walterboro is where you end up pulling off at you can do a lot worse than Fat Jack's but don't expect to find anything but a very chain like restaurant with below average food. The location, across from the Walmart, with its constant traffic was annoying but admittedly entertaining. Setting *** Full disclosure I never stepped inside so my opinion is on the outside only. With that said Fat Jack's was absolutely nothing like what I expected. I always look for locally owned places and thought that is what this was but pulling in it resembled every other chain restaurant I have ever seen. The large covered patio was fantastic as long as you don't care about the food stains and debris all over the concrete floor. Now that may be overly nick picking next to the constant barrage of traffic. It turns out that in the Walmart parking lot across the way it is a high school hangout scene. On our Friday night we were subjected to constant rumble of kids revving their engines as they drove by. I can only imagine the last time the Salt & Pepper shakers were cleaned was long before time existed. Service **** Our server was extremely friendly and offered up her opinion with ease which was sort of a double edged sword as she didn't have a very high opinion of many items we asked about. As a side note, we were a party of 6 and they automatically added 18% to the bill. Food ** The online menu didn't work for us and the pictures on Yelp don't accurately reflect the current menu which is a bit smaller. Generally speaking the food was a huge letdown for us. My sons burger, ordered medium rare, was beyond well done, my Buffalo Wings, yes I ordered them hot, were brutal in the sense they were all heat and nothing else. I tried the "Maryland" Style Crab Cake that my MIL ordered which weren't awful as long as you aren't expecting lump crab meat but definitely not something I would ever return for. Value **** So yes, you do sort of get what you pay for. The Crab Cakes were $16, my Wings $10, draft beer at $6 seem ridiculously reasonable. read more

We were passing by on our way to FL, and hesitated coming here based on the reviews. We were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was clean. The service was friendly and quick. And the hamburgers/fries were served hot and fresh. They offer a full bar and free club soda with lime. read more

Ordered the grilled chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce and mushrooms. And LET ME TELL YOU! absolutely tasty!! The sweet potato waffle fries were SO good! I honestly should've ordered more to go! The mixed veggies were good too! I don't always like veggies but this was amazing. One thing i would change is have homemade ranch and that would've been the best meal I've had in South Carolina. Sweet tea is AMAZING AND the waitress was awesome! She always kept my cup full which i always want! If i ever come to Walterboro again, I'm coming here again. read more

Great place especially outside covered patio where your dog can be with you. Right off 95 interstate clean and big very well priced menu. Food very good and best sweet tea ever. We were lucky to get Jade as our waitperson. So helpful and a bright personality!!! Very good stop read more

Food was good but service was absolutely awful. There were only a few people in the restaurant and the waitresses were all staring at their phones and not paying any attention to anything going on. Hostess had to be told by another staff member to seat us after we were standing up front for a few minutes. Our waitress disappeared for a long time and part of the order was made wrong. Huge disappointment after a long road trip and we were excited to actually try the place. read more

Ate here in Sept 2018 and had a GREAT experience, so my husband and I delayed eating by an hour so we could dine there in Jan 2019. WOW-what a major letdown the second visit was. If the second visit had been the first, I'd have given 1 or 2 stars, max. The 3 is balanced against the 5 star experience from the prior autumn. My salad was basically lettuce covered with more cheese than any one human should consume in a week...and I love cheese... My husband ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. Grilled within an inch of its life...dry, tough and bland. Blech! When your very hungry husband eats three bites and declares dinner done, you know it's a bad meal. He asked for crispy fries and they were barely done let alone crispy. Our waitress must have a second job elsewhere, as she was nowhere to be found our entire time there other than getting our order and bringing the bill. She also knew nothing about the menu beyond what was written on it. I am literate and can read, if I am asking a question about something on the menu, please don't lean over me and point to the item on the menu and then shrug and say you don't know when it's pointed out that the answer isn't there. For what it is worth, I wanted to know if the Atlantic salmon was farmed or wild and it turns out it is farmed. NO THANK YOU! So if you are ready to roll the dice and need a place to stop, give it a try. I cannot heartily recommend it after last week. read more

I was in town for training, and I ate here every day mainly for convenience. Day 1, I ordered a turkey burger and received a turkey club which was disappointing...it was just turkey lettuce and tomato.. nothing special. Day 2, I ordered the turkey burger and GOT the turkey burger and it was delicious. Day 3, I had the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The mashed potatoes were AMAZING. The hamburger steak was decent, it was juicy but kind of small and a little bland but it was bad? ....the macaroni was a little dry. I also ordered the brownie from two desert menu and it was warm, soft, chewy, and delicious. It was HUGE and I couldn't finish it but it was tasty. read more

Been here less than an hour and I'm already in love. Just finished the mushroom & Swiss burger, medium rare and it was PERFECT. Even the bun was awesome! The redskin potato salad side was a little too yellow for my taste. So I only ate half (lol) and am ordering dessert. I NEVER order desert. If you're looking for an excellent burger & beer joint, this is the spot. read more

Food was quite good. The drinks had a decent pour and the waitress was very nice. The ambiance is that of a casual restaurant but clean and neat. read more

Great wings, good drinks. The shrimp platter was not crispy. $16.00 for limp shrimp really bothers me. The restaurant complete with Mr. Fat Jack is always busy. Great bartender read more

Not the greatest quality but boy this place is really popular with the locals and those, like us, taking a break from I-95. Super friendly and welcoming service. Skip the green beans (canned) as a side. Corn bread was nice. read more

Best I can say is the wait staff are incredibly friendly and personable. Food is ok, our lunch was cold and the mac and cheese was not good. Lunch specials are reasonably priced and the corn bread was delicious, hubby liked his fish. Chicken special needed time under the broiler to heat up the sauce and melt the cheese. Mashed potatoes were puréed a bit too soft and the gravy (served on the side in a little cup) was cold and congealed. Fried pickle chips were delicious as was fried okra. Cabbage side was also cold. Wasn't the wait staff's fault, kitchen should have never sent out the food. Sitting on the patio was pleasant. Hit or miss, I guess. I won't go again. read more

A very good burger and the service was perfect. Had the Black and Bleu Burger with fries. Server was super nice

would not recommend this place. we were passing through and stopped for dinner here. it was Sunday and very few other places to eat. the reviews looked good so we went. the place was pretty empty, we sat at the bar and the bartender seemed irritated to have to wait on us. we ordered shrimp jammers and onion straws for apps which were basic but good. hubby got the queen ribeye (10 oz) w loaded mash potatoes and I got the fried scallops w sweet potato waffle fries and coleslaw. the steak dinner was $33.98. my fake scallop dinner was $28.98. nothing about our dinner was worth that kind of money. the "scallops" were absolutely disgusting! nowhere on the menu did it say they were fake and considering the cost plus their menu claims they use fresh ingredients, I was extremely disappointed. they have a nice coy pond out front of the restaurant but the ambiance inside was screaming help. there was an employee sitting at the bar with his head laying on the bar. multiple employees yelling from the kitchen window visible to the patrons. when one of the kitchen staff sat our dinner in the window, she said someone come get this steak before I take a bite out of it, it's looking pretty tasty. just very unprofessional. website claims they're known for their steaks and seafood, we had both and I would highly disagree. read more

Marginal, barely marginal food. Taste is not great but edible. Order jamaician chicken and it is a dried out chicken breast with a slice or cheese and some weird salsa that does not taste great. Luckily i ordered a baked potato because you can't screw that up too bad. read more

I had grilled shrimp and my husband had chicken tenders. Both were good. It's a regular place with normal fare. Portion size was decent for what we paid. Better than fast food. I would choose this over fast food. read more

not very good quality of food, catfish bites are frozen with a strong fishy taste and tartar sauce is simple to make,,,,, mayonnaise and sweet salad cubes, and that was messed up read more

Needed a pet friendly place to stop for lunch. This place has a big outdoor seating area under a roof cover- which was perfect for a rainy day. My husband ordered wings- they were delicious! My daughter and I shared the fried flounder- it came with 2 large pieces, coleslaw and 1 side of your choice. The fish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, coleslaw was good(even though I would prefer it with a little less dressing), green beans were just okay. I ordered a side of fried okra- again perfect. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture when the food came out- took some after you can see that we at it all! Nice waitress, she brought out a big pail of water for our dog without us having to ask her and gave my daughter some pellets to feed the koi fish out in the pond. read more

Fat Jacks is actually very good. We were pleasantly surprised. I read reviews and the food has been rated very good but poor service. The reviews are accurate. We are traveling on 95 and I do not like quick serve restaurants so I read reviews for something good. Here it is. Fat Jacks off Exit 57 off I95 is very good. The menu is difficult to find and does not appear to be updated. I phoned in an order and the voice on the other end came across very snobby. I'm glad I didn't hang up. I ordered a black and blue burger and a Philly Cheeses steak with sweet potato fries. Out standing! This is definitely worth the stop if you can ignore the attitude. The Philly was loaded with good flavor of steak, onion cheese and mushrooms my fiancé said it is probably one of the most flavorful phillys he has had, and the burger was cooked to perfection with bacon, cheese, crispy onion chips tomato and raw onions. The atmosphere isn't the greatest but it's kept clean and has a cute coy pond at the entrance. The young girl who brought me the food was very pleasant but the older women standing behind the podium... well let's just assume she is the one who answered the phone. Finale review. The food is a 5 but because of the snobbish but I give it a 4. read more

The food is Delish. It's very cozy family oriented and service is always friendly and on point. Try it.. It's well worth it

Stopped by for a late dinner on our drive home. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the food was amazing.

Husband and I stopped in on our way to Florida. Over-priced steak with no seasonings on it-but he said it was tender and cooked right. Salmon was great and was the same price as other places. No bread or biscuits with our meals- which steakhouses usually have. The iced tea was not dark like I like it. Disappointed in that. Atmosphere was good. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. They did what they were supposed to. The cost for us two was $58.00. Beautiful Koi Pond out front! read more

I have been here numerous times. The food is always great! I ordered fried shrimp. My companion ordered ribs. The shrimp were big and plentiful. It came with hush puppies. The shrimp and hush puppies were so delicious. I tasted a piece of ribs. They were very tender. The ribs were delicious as well. I will definitely go back. If you are ever passing through Walterboro, this is one of the places to eat. It's right off of 95 so the location is convenient. read more

I am so glad we found this place on yelp. Heading to Hilton head with family and stopped in for a late lunch. The place was 50% full and we did not wait to be seated. The staff were very friendly and our waitress, Dede, was very sweet and knowledgeable. My wife's pork ribeye was seasoned perfectly. My ribeye was the best steak I have ever had in my life away from my grill. My daughters lightly battered fried shrimp was also phenomenal. The collar greens were excellent! I highly recommend this place to travelers. Enjoy! read more

Service was wonderful, but the food was just awful! It's strictly a good place to have a drink!

On the way down to Florida we stopped in the Walmart strip mall at Walterboro for a bio break. It was 6:00 pm so we looked around for a nice place for dinner! Fat Jacks did NOT disappoint! ! we had the southwest spring rolls and the catfish bites for an appetizer! They were absolutely delish!!! The Philly Cheese and cheeseburgers were delish too! Everything was hot and the food looked appetizing! service was excellent too!!! In and out in 45 minutes! read more

Stopped here for lunch based on Yelp reviews and it was very good. My wife had the scallops which she liked very much. I had the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and there were identifiable chicken chunks in it. We also both had the baked sweet potato and highly recommend it - done just right. The waitress was very nice, the food came out promptly and the bathrooms are very clean. Worth stopping in if you're in the area. read more

If I could do a negative 65 stars I would! Seriously run away food was tasteless no seasoning and then the Mac and cheese was dry and stale. Country fried steak was a soggy salisbury steak incognito. Then the manger said they ran out of chicken because it was after 2 and didn't even try to help the situation. But to be real it was so bad that we didn't want anything els at all. Waffle House is ocean prime compared to this joint. But I will say one thing the mimosa were good and made that experience tolerable. I should have known when I asked about the Jamaican chicken and they told me they put melted Kraft American single on top of a grilled chicken with a Jamaican sauce on top. I was blown away by the service and quality and seriously just don't eat here I warned you! Disgusting disgusting disgusting!!! read more
