Great service. Ice cold draft beer. Wings are fried and if you love crispy you are in the right spot. I tried JR dry rub and ragin Cajun wet. Both were good - Jr is basically a spicy version of old bay. I def would come back. read more

We are locals and have recommended fat jacks to many. After today we will not do that again. The service was terrible, we were the only people in the restaurant at 210pm on Saturday and were treated as if we were bothering the server. The food, the sauces, just not good. We left everything and will not come back. read more

Fat Jack's Wings & Things - Just not good! 3 flavors and it just was not good. - American Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

This is a divey style restaurant located in a small strip mall on Bus 17. We stopped in for dinner last Thursday around 5:30ish, and the place was nearly empty. No greeter. We got a sorta-snooty-but-ok vibe from the waitress. The food was good, but we were a bit surprised with the menu pricing. $44 for 10 wings, a personal sized order of pub chips, a plain hamburger and 2 soft drinks. A $12 hamburger served deli style with a 1/4 pickle and a bag of chips. Fries were a "full price" upgrade @ $3.99. A first for me. No dip included for the wings, .75 extra per condiment. I understand businesses have to make a buck, but this is your typical off season dive. Think Dagwood's, Southern Chicken, Manny's & Carolina Tavern... just sayin'. read more

My family was down and we wanted wings so decided on Fat Jack's. On the door there was a sign 3% for using credit cards. Once we sat down we found it was a 13% gratatuity for over 5. We wont be back. read more

Disgusting establishment. You'd be better off going to McDonalds. Every employee was rude and acted like they would rather be anywhere else. Our personal server was not even remotely hygienic and smelled foul. The wings were dry and flavorless. The manager needs a good lesson in hospitality because this place is flat out insulting. read more

Server was almost bothered to take our order. I asked her to smile (just joking with her) and she said.....OH NO!!. She was less than pleasant. We have never had issues here but today will definitely be our last visit. We were the only 2 in the business...guess that is why. Server was rude towards the end and said....Do u want to talk to someone else....We were like really...NO THANKS. WE R DONE HERE!!!! read more

Very Expensive for what you get. Wings were decent but for the price you're better off somewhere else. Waitress had no personality didn't care about us or herself. She looked like she just rolled out of bed and hadn't showered in awhile. Do I care. Yes I do. Especially if you're serving food. read more

My pregnant wife and I tried to stop by for some wings on a Friday at 5pm. The place was empty and the man at the counter basically refused to seat us saying our only option was the bar. Servers tried to seat us and he refused despite the place having many empty tables. We remember this place from years ago for being great and welcoming. We left saying that we were sorry to bother them and will never come back. Honestly the jerk at the front counter probably did us a favor cause I'm sure the food would have sucked like the service. read more

We had an early Wednesday night meal, $35.99 for 18 wings and two sides. The buffalo wings were the best. We didn't care for the bourbon sauce or dry rub. Also the deep fried corn was mushy. But the jalepeno poppers and frosty beer glasses were great. Also, thanks for the carrots and celery! Too many restaurants in MB don't bother with those, but they make the plate more appealing. The restaurant did have a funky smell. Time to open the windows and deep clean. read more

Do not reccommend. Walked in, greeted and smiled (at who I assume is Mr. fat Jack sitting behind the desk) and received no response. Felt the energy was off when met with stares from him and waitresses. He as well as two other waitresses proceed to walk past my group without giving any instruction on whether or not we sit ourselves. We sit down at a table and I ask fat Jack if I can grab some menus for the group since he's just sitting there watching me figure out what is going on. He then tells me "that section is closed. You would've gotten menus if someone seats you". The whole interaction felt strange and uninviting. read more

So disappointed, I order the flounder fish sandwich, it was flatter than a pancake and over cooked (more breading than fish. I really thought for $15.99 that I would a least get a decent piece of fish. I've seen better fish portions from Gordon's frozen fish , we also ordered a basket of fried mushrooms with ranch which were delicious but served without the ranch. You have to pay extra for ranch or bleu cheese with your wings unless you order the big $42 platter, then they will throw in the ranch. This was probably our last trip to this once favorite place to visit at Myrtle beach. read more

NO STAR is BEING REALLY REALLY NICE! Your Freezer, Refrigeration, and Fryer ARE ALL BROKEN! OWNER sit's RIGHT THERE, Then when ordering to go, at DESK who TAKE ORDERS DON'T LISTEN, AND are not to be TRUSTED with ANY ORDER (they'll Up the amount you order and blame THEIR MISTAKE on you and demand payment for larger order.) Only 1/2 the wing is edible, due to is sitting in it's own juices due to BROKEN freezer, then sitting in its own JUICES in the REFRIGERATION- Broken, Then Well... Guess the only thing to do is BLAME IT IN THE FRYER, So that must be BROKEN TOO! The hard chunks which were 1/2 of every WING PIECE, was not only inedible, It was worse than the last time I ordered 8 wings- ATE 5, got sick. Waited 3 weeks, and ordered another 8 for 12.99, for which they ask for @ the end when I was picking up this recent ORDER. This time They increased my order to 12 for over $20. I ate, AGAIN this time 2!!!!!!!!!!!! The amount of inedible chicken on each wing was purely just spit out. 1) So, IF YOUR from BUFFALO, NY. Or ANYWHERE where ppl take pride in their wings... DON'T EAT HERE! 2) if you do, dont expect anything other than the fact that Franks Hotsauce cant cover up, Their freezer/refrigeration/what their product is because of their lacking Board of Health inspector not doing his job. 3) The lack of respect is EXACTLY what you would exspect, from this owner who sit's right there. Place is a strip Mall, and Filthy. read more

We've been coming to Fat Jacks for YEARS. I remember getting a blue Smurf sprite as a kid and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. We picked up takeout tonight. It was fast, hot, and so tasty! All of our wings were great. The family pepperhead says the kamakazi sauce "tasted great, great flavor, not too bad on heat." We will continue coming here every time we come to Surfside Beach! read more

Ok these wings are on the top of my list for the best I have ever had. We only came in to grab a small bite and go, which is what we did, but I am dying to go back!! We only got one flavor, there are several. I must try them all!! Usually when I get wings I nibble on them and don't eat the whole thing. These were VERY crunchy and juicy. I didn't miss a speck. read more

My favorite spot for wings when I'm at the beach, can't go wrong. The wings were nice & crispy, the hot was hot, & the garlic parmesan was on point. Service was spot on too. It's a definite try if you're in the area. I'LL BE BACK?!! read more

Any time we're in Myrtle, we stop by FJ's. Edit: EVERY time we're in Myrtle, we stop by FJ's. When did wings get so complicated and fancy? Wings can (and need to) be simple, tasty, and fun! FJ's has cracked the code. Fat Jack's is the mountaintop for wings. Seriously. They check EVERY G-D box. Fresh (versus frozen) Sauces/heat Texture, crunch Presentation (where the H do you find those weird clam shell trays anyway?) Stripped down menu/choices (just enough) If you love wings, FJ's is the one, the only, the best. We loved the wings so much, three of us put down 90! Sidebar: Their hot and bbq flavors are a nice compliment to each other. Thank you, FJ's for always giving us something to look forward to when we're visiting Myrtle Beach! read more

Wow! I tried Fat Jack's Wings tonight and they were absolutely out of this world. I called and ordered carry out orders of wings, a salad and a cheeseburger with French fries. The portions on the cheeseburger and fries and the salad were very generous. My wife could only eat half of the cheeseburger and had to save the rest for later. The salad also had leftovers. The eight count order of wings were perfect. I ordered the Cajun dry rubbed wings and they were pleasantly spicy and cooked to perfection. I will return to dine in soon, the atmosphere in the restaurant was inviting and the staff I encountered were all extremely friendly and made me feel welcome. Make a stop at Fat Jack's a priority next time you're in or near Surfside Beach! read more

Crispy, delicious wings. We got the Junior and the mild. The 6 piece was plenty for one. I had a hard time eating the last one but rallied and ate it all up read more

Fat Jack's has been a staple every time we visit Surfside! It's been a little over a year so we decided not to waste time and eat a late lunch on our way in. The restaurant was not busy, we were seated quickly, received drinks and ordered. We got our usual wings, fries and tried the jalapeño poppers! They were fantastic!! Our goto wing flavors are Garlic Parmesan, Texas Gold, Honey BBQ. Wings did not disappoint, they were deliciously crispy and flavorful!! Until next time... read more

We come to this area 2x a year, so it's nice to find something besides seafood. It's a hole in the wall joint that also happens to be a hidden gem. We came an hour before closing because everything else was closed. We ordered the fried mushrooms, boneless and regular wings, Philly cheese steak, funnel cake fries, and deep fried corn on the cob. Everything was delicious, except the corn. The texture was weird, and it was greasy. They take pride in their wings, as they should. They were . You can tell the wing sauce is homemade, not from a bottle. The sesame and Polynesian were delicious, but the sauce of the month Beer, Bourbon, Bacon would've been good if I'd seen it sooner. Our waitress was Ginger. It was only her 2nd day there, but she was awesome. Funny, attentive, and patient. When you get four girls come in right before closing who are starving, you have a handful. We tipped her $20 because she is worth it. read more

Me and my wife had two cheeseburgers, fries and tea and spent $47.00. The service was just ok. The hamburgers were ok. The lady that open the door was rude. We almost left before ordering. We were looking for a good burger place. So I guess it's hamburger Joes from now on. read more

Fat Jack's used to be a regular stop for me when I lived in Myrtle Beach, but since moving away over ten years ago I really wasn't sure what to expect. The space was expanded and some updates were done, but the atmosphere is still very casual. It has a family friendly kind of feel with sports memorabilia and local ads and artwork drawn on the ceiling tiles. The menu here is huge, but all I've ever had is wings and appetizers. I was so excited to find that the wings hadn't changed one bit. Two of us shared a large wing platter with 21 wings and were able to choose three sauces. We quickly agreed on teriyaki and Texas gold, two old favorites, and added garlic parmesan for the third. As always, we ordered the wings done extra crispy and they were perfect. They were cooked perfectly and drenched with just the right amount of flavorful sauces. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with navigating through the list of appetizers. Since the fried mushrooms was said to be a favorite we gave it a shot and they did not disappoint. They were very large and cooked to perfection. We were also intrigued by the deep fried corn on the cob, and this was a pleasant surprise. It was cooked to a golden brown and finished with butter. It was tender and crispy all at the same time. Surfside Beach is about a two hours drive from my home in Charleston. Now that I've rediscovered Fat Jack's I find myself trying to strategically plan my trips to arrive in Myrtle Beach during their business hours. I recommend you avoid the trap of the usual drive thru burger as you make the drive, in order to maximize you wings and things appetite. I'm confident Fat Jack's will not disappoint. read more

Love the food, place and service...Amazing staff... It was my 1st time going there and I will absolutely go back, the wings were amazing,,but their corn on the cob is something else I will recommend it to anyone who likes corn . All around amazing. read more

Tried to get to go orders two days in a row. They never answer the phone and went in just to find out we couldn't get food. It's so frustrating because we are locals and get wings multiple times a month. They have great wings but disappointed at the way they are running their business. Better off going somewhere else read more

The wings were amazing. I had honey gold and garlic Parmesan. I was visiting but I would definitely make sure to stop here for wings in Myrtle Beach. They also make their own blue cheese and it was delicious. read more

I hadn't been here in years and recently stopped by to see if the wings still held up to my memories of when I used to live in Myrtle (over 10 years ago). Right when I walked in I noticed a difference. They cleaned the place up a bit and I think they took over the building next door creating a space for carryout orders. I was hoping not much else had changed because the wings didn't need any fixing. For two of us, we ordered a platter that came with 21 wings and a couple appetizers. We wanted to stray from the ordinary and decided on Fried Mushrooms and deep Fried Corn. When it comes to sauces, getting adventurous was not an option. I needed the Teriyaki and Texas Gold in my life stat. We found out that we could get a third option and decided on the Garlic Parmesan. All I can say is that every one of the decisions above was a good one. The mushrooms were giant and full of flavor. The fried corn was a new one for me and I don't know why this isn't a regular thing. You end up getting some super tender corn on the cob with some crispy parts on the edges... it's perfect. I knew the sauce decisions were all winners. The Teriyaki and Texas Gold are tied for first place, but the Garlic Parm was done perfectly too. Overall, the best decision was going back to Fat Jacks after all that time. I'm now dreaming up reasons to make a Myrtle trip just so I can get more wings! read more

We've been going to Fat Jacks for years and years. It changed hands a few years ago and for awhile the food was consistent with the original quality. The two times we've been within this last year, the ambiance, food quality, taste and amount have changed. As we arrived there was a guy seated behind the counter near the hostess stand, he looked right at us, but wasn't welcoming. He never smiled or said hello, actually he never acknowledge or greeted us, so we stood there idly right in front of him for several minutes waiting for someone to greet us and seat us. Eventually the hostess showed up and seated us after having to clean off a table. (We were later informed that the guy behind the counter was the owner)... The wings were previously top notch, fresh and filled with meat. Recently, the wings have been much smaller and appear to have changed temperatures several times, according to the meats appearance as we were eating it. Some of the chicken meat was extremely dark in color and didn't appear fresh. The wings were minimally seasoned. The apps were dry and inconsistently heated. They also appeared to have been cooked in the same cooking oil as the wings, which was disappointing. Every item tasted the same. Positives from our visit, our server was nice and could hold conversation well. She was also efficient and reliable. She also had a great sense of humor and the bottled beers she served were ice cold! read more

First visit and probably my last visit. The food was awesome! I've just never seen bar food so over priced in my life. I came here with a friend and spent close to $100 on wings and fries (not including drinks). I might as well went to a nice steakhouse. read more

Fat Jack's Wings & Things - a plate of food - American Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Was there on a Wednesday night - barely anyone there. The service was fantastic but the wings were pretty good. What really irritated me was they charged .75 for a tiny cup of ranch and $1.50 for 5 (little, tiny) sticks of celery with brown edges. No wing place ever charges for ranch/blue cheese or carrots/celery. If you're going to nickel and dime everyone to death, the end may be near. read more

So as an out of towner, I'm glad that we learned of this local lil spot. We were chatting it up while out at Broadway at the Beach with Radom people and they insisted that you have the best chicken wings. I'm sorry to say that I don't eat chicken wings but my friend was on a mission for some chicken wings. I was super excited to be going to local and what appeared to be family owned restaurant. It was a great atmosphere-simple, homey feel. The staff were so pleasant and actually handed my friend the tv remote when she asked if they could change the football game. We had fried mushrooms as an appetizer and wow, I am speechless, these mushrooms were no joke! I ordered a cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard and pickles and it was delish. My friend ordered the wing flavor of the month and she really enjoyed them. Keep up the great work! read more
