Love this place. Definitely one of the best breakfast places in the Twin Cities. I normally get the Juevos Rancheros Con Papas Favorito which is the absolutely best Juevos Rancheros breakfast dish in the Twin Cities. I've tried so many and non bear this place. This time though I decided to try their special Albuquerque Omelette and it was amazing!!! Filled with cheese and hatch chilis then smothered in half red and half green hatch chilis. It was huge and so good. You definitely need to be able to tolerate some heat though. It's more than Minnesotan spicy. Next time I want to try one of the Fruit Fritters. I saw so many coming out of the kitchen and it looked amazing! Weekends the place is packed and they are not open for dinner. I went on a weekday morning and got in right away. Great customer service. Give this place a try! read more

Excellent food and service. I've had eggs Benedict, Elmer's breakfast platter, and French toast. I enjoyed their New Brighton location also but this one is much bigger. read more

The food was great. It is always great. Today however, I could have gone without my wheelchair bound daughter almost peeing herself while she waited for our waitress Celina to quit vaping in the handicapped stall. read more

Its kitschy, as far as the space goes. But the food is lowest common denominator Sysco stock. Its properly prepared, so you are unlikely to get sick, but it isn't good. It's high fat, high salt, white flour Americana. If there is nothing else, maybe, but if you have a choice, pass. read more

best breakast EVER! have the carnitas !!! everything fresh and delicious. The portions were huge. Highly recommend. read more

Fat nats in Brooklyn Park is a solid choice for breakfast if you're in the area. We had the Mike's omelette which has ham, cheese and red potatoes inside and topped with hollandaise sauce. We also had the Norm's which has ham, bacon, veggies and cheese. I also got a side of avocado verde which is good but spicy. Boderline to spicy to even enjoy. Omelette's come with toast or a pancake. Both omelettes were good. The portions are huge. You can add a side of hashbrowns but we usually find the omelette is plenty big. Service is quick, almost to quick. We were in and out within 30ish minutes on a busy Saturday morning. read more

Big portions very yummy breakfast please and the staff is awesome Great place to visit and and friendly people recommend people to visit their when possible read more

Fat Nats is hearty and consistently delicious. Expect a 15-10 min wait on the weekends. They have a good size waiting area with seating . This restaurant seats many people so they turn tables quickly. There is always a special going on for a great price. This feels like a neighborhood diner, loud, all different types of people gather for good food. The portions are huge, everyone was walking out with to go containers. The service is quick and the waitress was knowledgeable and kind. The omelets have big chunks of meat and veggies. The omelets are named after peoples name. I had the David. David took up the entire length of the plate. Haha The Hollandaise was very good. I love their crispy Hashbrowns. Each omelette came with bread and they had offered at least 5 different types. This breakfast is filling and I walked away with breakfast again for another day for this one $15 omelet. This is a twin cities favorite read more

There was a long wait list upon arrival (Sunday morning, so it was expected). It moved surprisingly quickly which made our wait fairly short (11th in line when we checked in, ~20min wait). There was a surprising amount of Mexican influence on american classics, which was great to see. Ordered the build your own omelette meal: cheese, sausage, bacon, and broccoli, with a side of hash browns, and a pancake. The sausage and bacon were pretty good, but the broccoli was very undercooked and in large pieces, which made it a bit awkward to eat as part of the omelette. The pancake had a different flavor, which I can only describe as chlorinated water, not a big fan and didn't finish it. Lots of people ordering the eggs Benedict with bacon and avocado, so that may be something to try. Lots of seating, fast service, decent food, just a few things that did not live up to the hype. read more

We anticipated quite a long wait considering we visited in the late morning on a Sunday. While we were listed about 10 or so parties down, we were called to sit within less than 20 minutes. We overheard someone mention the portion sizes were large, so we opted to split a meal. I'm happy to say we're glad we split and are currently full as two adults with an appetite. We split a build your own omelette with sausage, bacon, and broccoli then chose cheddar cheese with it. The omelette was stuffed full of ingredients. The bacon was meaty and plentiful, the sausage was torn up patties, and the broccoli was undercooked considering the size of the florets. The hash browns looked phenomenal but lacked flavor and seemed to be overcooked internally. The pancake was large and paired well with the butter and syrup on the table. The service was both prompt and friendly. This is clearly a popular spot considering the number of tables filled on a Sunday during the brunch rush. Note: the majority of the menu items do not allow adjustments. read more

If I could leave no stars that's what it would be. The young Hispanic waiter rushed us to order and was very inpatient. She tapped her fingers everytime we was deciding on something. We decided to cancel our order and go somewhere else. Definitely won't be back!!!!! read more

Fat Nat's is a throwback in time. A blend of old school diner and your moms oversized kitchen they are serving up delicious food in a home style environment. I am a huge fan of the many variations of Eggs Benedict as well as the French toast. They also have awesome chorizo which reminds me of California. One warning, the pancakes have almond and if you aren't a fan of the Nordic tradition of almond switch your sweet cake order, it's noticeable. Love this place and will keep coming back read more

Simple diner style place. Well done with good food, quick and friendly service and hot coffee. All of the servers were kind and conversational. If I lived closer this would be a weekly place to visit. read more

I have been hearing about this place for years and finally had the chance to try it. Went on a sunday morning with a friend so it was a bit of a wait, but worth it. Once we were sat, service was fast. The fruit fritter french toast was amazing and always gotta get a side of bacon. They have a really great menu with tons of options. Can't wait to return and maybe try something new but the french toast might be hard to resist! read more

Great place for breakfast. Been here a few times, never disappointing. My go to is always Emily's Omelette with Turkey, SPICY avocado verde, tomato, onion, bacon and cheese. The spicy Avocado Verde has some heat to it but with everything it's perfect. Last time I decided to try something new so I ordered the Green Chili Huevos with American fries, black beans with over easy eggs served on crisp tortillas, covered in homemade new mexican hatch green chili sauce. Got carnitas with spicy salsa verde on it. Very delicious and heat was just perfect for me. Service is always great. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. read more

We arrived about half an hour before closing on Saturday. People were finishing up and leaving so it was a perfect time. A table had to be cleared but we were seated in less than five minutes. Our waitress came to the table and got drinks and told us she would be right back for our order. I ordered a veggie omelette with whole wheat toast my husband got eggs bacon avocado Benedict with Hash browns. We didn't have to wait long for our food. It was very good. The hash browns were possibly the best we ever had so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We saw lots of people leaving with Togo containers and the pancakes were huge. It has a kind of diner feel. You can sit at a bar and see them cooking. There are lots of tables. We will definitely go back. read more

Amazing food, we came in with a softball team over 20 of us, food was excellent and the service was great. One of the best omelettes I've had! Try the avocado verde salsa if you like spice! read more

The place doesn't look fancy, more like an old fashioned dinner, but the food was pretty great, and we don't have any complaints about the service. Our waitress made sure to keep our coffee cups filled! We split an order of blueberry pancakes which were a tad try; they were huge though! My friend had the veggie omelette with American potatoes. She liked her omelette the potatoes were pretty taste, with just a hint of spicy aftertaste, almost like Cajun seasoning. The Fat Nat Slider was pretty amazing. There was A LOT of hollandaise sauce on it, but that was just fine for the leftovers. Hash brown and eggs were cooked just right. We definitely got too much food and didn't have to think about dinner! Downside: none of the staff wore masks or asked to see vaccines cards which I believe is still a requirement in restaurants in MN. read more

Great food and large portions. I loved the huevos rancheros with carnitas. Will definitely be coming back!

We have eaten at the Fat Nat's in New Hope, and one morning decided to try this location which is closer to our house. It was okay, but not as good as the other restaurant. Service was fine, food wasn't as good. We'll likely stick with the New Hope location. read more

First visit was great. Not sure if they take reservations, but when arrived we signed our name on the list and where seated in 5mins. The menu had lots of options, and clear text regarding how they feel about substitutions. Don't ask! I got the Elmer's which included 2 pancakes (which tasted really good and like they had almond extract), bacon, eggs (how you want it), toast, and french fries. For $.50 I switched to hashbrowns, and for a whopping $1.95 added cheese to the eggs. It was tons of food and enough to feed two. If I were going home afterwards I would have taken the rest to go. That said, despite not finishing I still feel I ate my money's worth. Will definitely return. read more

Great greasy spoon breakfast place. The staff are friendly. The ownership has mixed reviews from locals but the food is always good. They doubled their square footage a couple of years back so getting a table isn't tough. The ambiance is vert breakfast diner-esque but that's perfect for what it is. Their pancakes are unique. Their omelets are glorious. Their bacon is perfectly crispy. The price is a bit high but we keep coming back because the food is excellent. read more

I ate the Carnitas version of the same dish. The pulled pork is juicy and tender and a real delight. Apparently a different chef was cooking today. The blueberry pancake was so perfect that I ate it without syrup. Exceeded all expectations. I mixed the avocado sauce and the tomato onion sauce together and smothered it on top of the eggs. It resulted in my tummy being done long before my tongue. Sophia and the team were fantastic as usual. Friendly and timely service. How to I add a few more stars? Awesomeness. read more

This place is your classic hole in the wall diner style breakfast. The inside was nothing special but they were able to seat out large group of 10 + 4 babies easily. Prices were fair and service was excellent considering our large group. The menu emphasizes a Mexican spin on Benedict's, omelets, and their chilaquiles. They make their own salsas and sauces too which is a nice touch. We all loved the bacon and spicy avocado Benedict! The pancakes were better than expected and we also loved the Julies egg scramble. I've definitely had better chilaquiles but overall it was an easy place to please a crowd. read more

Place was full around 11 on Saturday and I sat at the end of the counter. What I got was a show. The music was blaring the cooks having a great time. I've never seen staff enjoy themselves so much. It sure doesn't slow them down. I ordered as soon as I sat down and within 5 minutes I got the biggest omelet I ever had. There was a sign that said chili cheese, you should order anything that has those two words in it. It was so delicious before I knew it it was devoured. Great service by Alex. I was able to see the bennies and perfect hash browns go by. I never had so much fun watching others. This might be my Fat Nat's destination and it should be yours too. read more

Both locations are top-shelf. Never had a bad meal at Fat Nat's. Southwest-style breakfasts, as well as standard "Family Restaurant" fare. Even if it's crazy busy, the service is great. Only complaint would be that they can indeed get "crazy busy" on weekends. I don't think I've ever waited longer than 20 minutes, though, which may not sound like much if you're not really hungry when you get there! And I usually am! I really like the papas - a lot of places will do home fries/American fries as undercooked, greasy spuds, but theirs are well-cooked and even crispy if you didn't order something that covers everything in melty cheese or hollandaise. One of my top three breakfast spots in the metro. read more

Great food, great service. Never had a bad experience. Can be loud, echo effect. Normally busy weekends.

Always good service always good food! The new building is spectacular! I love the what I would assume is local artwork inside! read more

Excellent breakfast. You get lots of food for a fair price, friendly service, great menu variety. Go to this place.

Fat Nat's is a rustic, homestyle diner, if your home happens to specialize in Mexican breakfast platters. Everything on the menu looked amazing and we all had a hard time choosing! Our server showed us a few of the more popular items and made recommendations on her favorite plates as well. I ended up going with "Julie's," a breakfast scramble stuffed with chorizo, peppers, and cheese. When our plates arrived, we stared dumbfounded. Each plate could have easily fed two of us! We dug in, the sounds of satisfaction evident around the table. Everything was delicious, which was great because we all took home leftovers! The prices were very reasonable, especially when we saw how much food we got. Overall, I would definitely like to make my way back to Fat Nat's sometime in the near future. read more

Fat Nat&s Eggs is a great place to go for an awesome breakfast or lunch. They are only open until 1:00 p.m. check websites for accurate locations and times. My son and I have been back three times and everyone was friendly, and helpful. The service was wonderful. We sat at the counter and got to listen to the cook. They were funny and you could tell they loved it there. Now the food. They serve the best eggs Benedict I think it is at least ten kinds. The food has huge portions. Delicious. Their restaurant is not high on ambiance. It's a classic diner with diner coffee. Lots of tables. Fast service. Quality food. Highly recommend. read more

We had breakfast here. This is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Walking in it doesn't look fancy. It looks old and dated but the food is amazing. As much as we like to try new things we had our favorite. We had eggs bacon avocado benedict. This is a fresh toasted English muffin topped with a tomato, bacon an egg, hollandaise sauce and the most delicious and a little spicy avocado verde. Everything was cooked and plated perfectly. For our side we got the hash browns. Nice and crispy on the edges. Nice large portion. We also got a blueberry pancake. These pancakes are as large if not larger than the plate. Great flavor and a perfect amount of blueberries. Topped it with a smidge of peanut butter and syrup. Our server Molly was a great sport. We had a large group with confusing orders. She handled like a champ. Always great service with amazing food. read more
