This rating of 4 is based on me judging this restaurant through a greasy spoon lens. After all, if you are wanting a burger and fries, I doubt if you care that much about the friendliness of the person taking the order or the cleanliness of the restaurant. I got the half pound burger with everything and it was so large that it was impossible to eat without making a mess. I would not try to eat that huge burger while driving. I just cannot imagine how large the full one pound burger would be. I also thought the sweet potato fries were the best I have ever tasted. The lady at the front desk was not the most friendly and the restaurant and restrooms were not clean, however, the fries and burger were very good. read more

can not get order right. Go To five guys for a better experience and food. Service wasn't the best.

Would not recommend bug in my food. The atmosphere is run down it looks not that well taken care of. I spotted the same bug alive near the drink machine. I believe their 97 rating should be reconsidered. read more

could not order on-line- technical challenge. I called the Smyrna location and ordered the little mo burger, without some toppings, and the guy said, 'are you calling for the Smyrna location?" I did not chuckle although wanted to.......did not ask my name and he hung up the phone. The place was packed when I arrived; employees sitting around relaxing. Just tried it upon returning home and although the burger is ok; it mainly tasted like a shaker of black pepper. this is a one and done visit. read more

It's conflicting to recommend this place for two reasons. However, I will let you decide based on what you read. To start off, the burger prices are low for the smoking of food you get. I ordered a double burger and I couldn't finish it. The burger tasted very good. If you've been to Texas, this burger slightly reminded me of Whataburger's hamburgers in terms of taste. I was given the choice between regular or spiced fries. I went with the spiced fries and they tasted between the Long John Silvers and Rally's/Checkers fries. Overall, the food was delicious and satisfying. This next part, however, is where it gets hard to recommend the restaurant to just anyone. As I walked in, I was greeted to two employees who were joking around. They were young, possible high school seniors or recent graduates. One wasn't wearing a mask and the other had a mask on but it was fully under her chin. Without masks, they approached the customer ahead of me to give her the food she was there to pick up. You could tell that customer felt uncomfortable getting the food from unmasked employees, but she didn't say anything about it. I would have left if not for a friend who was set on eating here. I'm my order was handled by an older woman who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food options. She wasn't wearing a mask either. Behind her, I could see employees in the kitchen engage in physical contact like slapping of the hands and more joking around without gloves and masks. The burger is good, but is it worth ignoring what I witnessed, I'm not so sure. read more

The Fat Mo's Located on Sam Ridley. Their food is good but the customer service could be better, the place can be updated & deep clean too. I have ordered a Philly cheese sandwich and they gave me a burger sandwich. I think is a family owner restaurant. Their mother is keep telling her children. They are a customer in the front and customer in the driveway. They are playing and yelling each other in the back. They are people coming in here. Spinning they hard earning money on your business and they not taking their job and their family business seriously.!!!! read more

Came here on Monday and got 2 fat mo's burger combo and deep fried pickles. The burgers are huge but lack any flavor. Fried pickels were just ok. The fried pickles weren't good at all they had way to much breading on them and had no flavor do to all the breading. Price of food is juay ok for the portions. Would we come back here probably not as there are better burger places near by for the price. read more

I was in FatMoes on Sunday evening. The Sam Ridley location. I work nights not far from there so I try to get food there as often as I can, I usually get the catfish sandwich cut in half and have recently have added the Fat Moe burger to my routine. Anyway, as i was picking up my order, the lady behind the counter was stating to another employee about a unfavorable google review. She said' If they have anything nice to say they dont write, only bad". Thats true but i am changing that today. Their food is delicious, fair priced and they are friendly (in their own way) Once i was later picking up my food and they offered to remake it. I recommend this place and I have a comment to the customers there and people in general. STOP LOOKING FOR A REASON TO BE OFFENDED I love Fat Moes read more

Listen I was happy to know someone sells Turkey burgers near me! I'm not dissatisfied with the burger overall. It was a pattie so a little texture adjustment required. But them toppings onion & lettuce cut right, fresh tomatoes, not to crunchy pickles, & grilled bun was bumping!!! I'm glad it was done, just a little bit too well done. I'm giving 3&1/2 because I called in my order 15-20 minutes ahead and 1 car was in driveway however I still had a 10-12 minute wait around noon. I'm going try again then update the review if need. read more

Might be the worst food I've ever had in my life. It's not very clean and the food has zero flavor. Just avoid and go anywhere else. If i can get it no stars i would. read more

Fat Mo's - Big Catfish Sandwich Combo - Burgers Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

I hate to say it, but Fat Moes just isn't good anymore. This place used to be amazing years ago. They've changed everything and the only good thing they have going for them now is the portions and price. The quality and taste of the food has gone way down hill. This taste like getting a burger and fries from a gas station now. read more

I always get their Philly Cheese steak. It is always so good. Large portions for the price. Donna W. read more

We ordered a catfish sandwich and nashville hot chicken sandwich. The catfish was cooked at too high of a temperature because the ends were completely too hard and the outsided was hard but the inside of the fat part of the fish was mushy, and it didn't have any seasoning and was bland, it was disgusting. The nashville hot chicken was a frozen breaded chicken patty with no seasoning or hot sauce of any kind, just a breaded chicken sandwich with mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickle. I called and was told that's how the fish comes and the customers love it, okay, if you like fish that's somehow crusty and mushy then this is your place. This place has decent burgers and philly sandwiches, it used to be better, the problem is management and how the place is run, they don't care about serving good food here anymore so I won't be back read more

Fat Mo's Burgers, 298 Sam Ridley Parkway, Smyrna -- Mildew found inside ice machine, no thermometers were found in cooler or freezers; wiping cloths were left on food prep surfaces; shelves in back cooler were "very rusty and dirty" as well as outside dirty; non-food cooler dirty; no cold water in kitchen hand sink; floors and walls in poor repair. 88 Posted in today's Daily News Journal!

This was horrible! Didnt get what i ordered and the the gyro is frozen meat cheese steak was burned. Not going here again!

Normally Fat Mo's does not disappoint, but the latest visit we just experienced was very disappointing. The fries had no seasoning,extremely soggy, an inch thick tomato, lettuce extremely SOGGY! The bun was extremely SOGGY.We ordered bacon on one burger, and there was no bacon.The nashville hot chicken came with two little pre-cooked chicken pattie's with an extremely large bun. The onion on the burger was just DISAPPOINTING ! extremely thick pieces. The lady we spoke to on the phone was nice and offered to "remake the food if we brought it back" after traveling 20 minutes to get the food and wait almost 30 minutes just to even get the food handed to us. The milk shake was good but watery. read more

Fat Mo's - Flies - Burgers Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

A recent visit to Smyrna to visit our one of our son's who lives in the area found us dining at Mo's. While it is not anyplace would have chosen our son insisted it was the greatest place ever, so if he wrote the review it would probably have 5 Stars where I struggle with two. Food: The food was plentiful for the price but my Cheesesteak was greasy and overdone. The highlight of my meal was the fries, which were seasoned and cooked very well. My wife got a chicken Sandwich and also said it was greasy and very dry and overcooked for her liking. she also did enjoy the fries and left most of her sandwich. Our son had the burger, which was very big and he said it was the best burger he ever had. Cleanliness: This is where Mo's needs the most attention. It was not dirty, but rather filthy is the only word to describe this place. The floors were sticky and the tables were horrible. Sticky and dirty. I don't think this place has seen a clean mop or been cleaned since it opened. In all honesty, the filth of the inside probably held a huge bearing on our thoughts of the food. If the customer facing areas were this horrible then we can only imagine what the behind the scenes were like. read more

The food we had gotten was good and do recommend it especially the burger. What was surprising was the sign on door requiring customers to wear masks but workers failed to lead by example by wearing them also. I just kept my distance when ordering. The staff were friendly and knew the options well. read more

It turns out Mo really isn't that fat, which is surprising considering the menu here. You can get a 1/2 lb burger anywhere, how about a 1 1/2 lb triple decker loaded with bacon, cheese, and onion on a thoroughly overwhelmed sesame seed bun! You can certainly go big at Mo's, but even if you have a more moderate appetite, rest assured the quality is as good or better than the quantity. This location on Sam Ridley is run by the original owners/founders of Fat Mo's... Mo and his wife. They are typically there working, and are clearly proud owners and take care of each customer that walks in the door. Very friendly service. They have a menu mostly of burgers, but also hot dogs and gyros. They have great shakes too! But back to that burger. I didn't tackle the 1 1/2 pounder, but I can say the 1/2 pounder is delicious. It is a nice thick patty, but the meat isn't dried out at all. The topping are fresh, and I recommend the spicy/seasoned fries. The quantities are very good and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant itself is nothing to write home about. It's pretty clean and very simple. But you don't come here for the atmosphere. You go to Mo's for a great burger and truly friendly service. I've had better burgers, but Mo's it probably in my top 25%. I'll be back! read more

Fat Mo's - 1/2 lb burger with spicy fries. Fantastic! - Burgers Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

Rude! The young lady on the phone had an attitude and when I came in to pick up the to go order. Not only was she being rude but so were the other workers to every customer that walked in. I understand we have to work sometimes when we don't want to but don't take it out on innocent customers. I believe the customer is not always right but in this situation the employees are wrong. I will not be coming back until those workers fix their attitudes or they find someone else who would be willing to replace them. read more

A friend ranted and raved about coming here, so we did with a group. First impression of the building was ehh.... not the best. Friend told us that it was a chain restaurant, but this location was one of the only dine-in in the area. The place looked filthy - sticky chairs, tables, dirty floors. The potted plants were dying...etc and so on.. We could not locate the health score..which was troubling. Outside of the physical appearance, the staff were nice and friendly. The prices are reasonable and the food was tasty. read more

CLEAN THIS NASTY PLACE UP or SHUT IT DOWN.. I'm no Amazing Kreskin...but.... I predict future sickness for some poor soul. Walk inside this location and look around, really look around touch one or two tables, look at that napkin holder..."Hey Mo what's this scummy powdery white stuff on top of the napkin holder...rat poison ????" I might gamble with my health and lost time from sitting on the toilet for hours as a trade off for enjoying a Fat Mo's tasty burger ? But on this day, I had guests with me and they were not impressed in fact they were disgusted by the restaurants filthy condition. Like most people that have eatin a Fat Mo's... I LOVE FAT MO's burgers....but how can one purposely over look the disgusting slimy tables, floor, napkin holders, catsup (ketchup)soda (pop)dispensers, counters, windows, doors, walls, ceilings and those lovely dead flies floating in the decorative fountain..(scary).. If you find the same disgusting conditions at this restaurant at this location as we did...please speak up. One of my friends wanted to call the health department right then and there, However, as it was Saturday...instead of making that call we/ she told the gentleman (Mo ?) behind the counter there was some serious cleanliness issues at his restaurant and that we would not be dinning there, now as a man I was weighing the risks of possible food poisoning against the sure thing of a delightful burger, but when I looked up from my internal debate my friends were already heading toward the exit and as one of them had the SUV keys, I followed them out the door. At this point I'm a little befuddled as to why any owner or manager would allow a restaurant to get so disgustingly dirty. Needless to say neither my friends nor I will be returning to this establishment anytime in the near future and we spent our money elsewhere and will continue to spend our money elsewhere. For those of you that get your Fat Mo's from the drive thru window as I had done all these years off Sam Ridley in front of the bowling alley... I didn't mean to ruin your illusions...but as you can't see inside the restaurant from your car... you need to know what we discovered inside those walls. However you could just tell yourself that the kitchen must be far, far, cleaner than the public area.. I mean if the front of this restaurant is a disgusting slimy mess for all to see, that wouldn't in any way be a reflection on the area the public can't see... would it ? My burger loving brothers and sisters heed this warning, but if you choose to take the gamble don't be surprised when it's coming out both ends....may I suggest cottonelle with aloe....GOOD LUCK. read more

I ordered a sandwich from the Smyrna Tennessee location after being a customer for years. I called and was civil in my explanation and was questioned as if they did not believe me. This is the first time I've had this issue with this store after being a customer for years. The owner and/or manager were super rude! They told me I ate the sandwich it was good. I explained I still had it. They then said if I bring it back they will call the police. I would suggest never going there! Customer service SUCKS! Some foreigners think the AMERICAN is wanting to take advantage. This is not the case! Give them a call 615-355-4300 read more

Placed my order at 5pm. 5:30pm and the order still isn't ready. Seven people waiting for their food and the lady behind counter is telling one guy because he grumbled that she can't help it there are a lot of orders. Jumping him because they are slow. Lol. Poor customer service with attitude. Last time I go here. You suck. read more

I was apprehensive driving up because the parking lot was dirty, and so was the trash can outside. The restroom was a bit rundown and didn't give a clean impression. The nozzles of the ketchup dispensers had a lot of gunk on them. The dining room was clean overall. The woman behind the counter was very pleasant and helpful. We had the 1/2 pound and 1/4 pound cheeseburgers. They were good, not great as I expected. You get a whole lot of fries -- the seasoned fries were good. The 1/2 pound burger comes with a cup of soda so big I could raise koi in it. It wouldn't fit in my car's cup holder, so I couldn't bring the rest of my drink with me. I might drop in again if I'm driving by, but I won't go out of my way for it. read more

Only been here once, take-out, but LOVED the 1/2 lb burger! What I really like is supporting local businesses. Mo is very friendly and wants to make sure you're happy! Just writing this review I've convinced myself to take out TONIGHT!! read more

The place itself ( the dining area ) to sit and eat in is disgusting .... the chair legs are covered with mold. Sticky substance on the tables. The floor and its baseboards need more than a daily washing .... it needs a good scrubbing .... filthy. The heating/air conditioning unit is gross with dirt and mold. No idea of the condition of the kitchen but the light haze coming from the back where the kitchen is located leaves one wondering on the ventilation .... needless to say we did not stay to order anything to eat. The health department needs to pop in on this place and shut it down before it causes food borne illness. One star to post .... minus a 10 overall. read more

After normal service the first visit, and mediocre service the second we arrived on the verge of inedible. No mustard resulted in half an onion and a burnt burger. Sorry for trying to support your business. We get the hint. read more

Kids love this place. The kids and I can get our bellys FULL for about 14 bucks. The Mo burgers are so good and they are BIG, BIG may be an understatement. Their seasoned fries are really good too. Fountain drinks taste like fountain drinks. They have a drive thru, sit down, or to go options. We usually sit down and eat because we are always on the go and this burger YOU DO NOT want to eat WHILE DRIVING! You are asking for burger in your lap not your mouth but they are so delish. Everything is made to order. Grilled when you order not pulled out of some warmer and fries are always hot and fresh too. Love Fat Mos! read more
