When we walked in, one of the workers asked us if it was our first time, we said yes. He immediately went over the menu and what he suggested. He was so friendly and helpful! We got 2 sandwiches and an order of fries to go. It wasn't busy at all and we didn't have to wait long. The food was BOMB!!! I could only eat half the sandwich in one sitting, it was loaded! Flash forward to about 5 minutes ago, I ate the other half and let me tell you it still tasted so good!!! Highly recommend! If we are in town anytime, we'll be back! read more

The food was good. The turkey club had a great meat to bun ratio. All the ingredients were fresh and tasted. My wife enjoyed her double smash burger. The fries were good, a bit too much salt. The service was good. Not one of my favorite service models, place you order get a buzzer and go pick up your order. Out works for them and was pretty efficient. The place has a cool vibe and in an awesome place. read more

Thought everything was just ok, nothing spectacular. Service was very friendly. Didnt catch his name, but a young man with glasses on a Monday night helped us out. Was quick to offer suggestions and answer questions before we asked. The place was spacious and clean. Food-wise, we ordered the Fat Hot Chick (combo), Fat Sal, strawberry cheesecake, shake, & cheese fries. Total was $74 before tip. Got overly seasoned fries with the combo instead of tater tots. The cheese fries were good. Sandwiches were just so much, the fries in the Fat Sal were soggy and onion rings falling apart. Shake was good but underwhelming. About 16 oz for $13 seems steep. The best part was the service, otherwise I probably wouldn't return. read more

This place definitely lives up to its name. My fiancé and I were vacationing in Los Angeles recently and we heard about this place through the show Triple D. So we went and it was amazing. The food was so delicious and filling that we both could only eat half of our sandwiches. And I decided to have a shake as well take home one of their fat cookies. The service was great because the girl was super nice. The ambiance was pretty good considering it was nighttime when we went. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an awesome sandwich in L.A. Two thumbs up read more

When you're staying at a hotel on the same street as venice beach you hop on Yelp and decide what catches your eye, immediately had to check out the menu. Read a few things off to my picky teenager and it was decided, we were going to take our three minute walk and grab some dinner to go. She got the Buffalo smash burger with some seasoned fries & I ordered the Italian sandwich which the hot peppers, AMAZING choices. Shoutout to the person who took our order who offered us a couple water cups while we waited for our food to be ready. We made our walk back to our room, as soon as we opened the bag we got the most delicious whiff of our food. It took my daughter what seemed like 3 minutes to finish her burger, 2 thumbs wayyyy up. My Italian sandwich was absolutely everything! Delicious, flavorful, HUGE. lol Would absolutely recommend to everyone! read more

Walking south past Venice beach and was feeling for some smash burger. Service here was better than the typical fast food restaurant. Double smash with fries - Fries were only okay, would wish it was more crispy! The smash was some oily beef with crispy edges well seasoned with some good sauce. Defintely had better smash burgers, but better than the larger chains like 5 guys or shake shack. Nice to try. read more

As my better half had a hair appointment close by and it was Superbowl Sunday (and no, we're no US Football fans), we thought of making it a West L.A. day and walk over to this well-rated hangout.... and we actually Waymo'd ourselves over which was an interesting experience. Our server had some good suggestions, and we went with the Fat Cug sandwich, bacon cheeseburger fries and a vegan shake. I'll start with the fact that these orders are quite generous... we're not huge eaters and could have been happy enough to either share the sandwich or the salad. Nice thing is that the salad is already in a plastic container, so easy to take home with you. The shake was OK, definitely had flavor but so does a peanut butter milkshake from for example Fice Guys. Sandwich OK as well, for the ones that do not mind having fries packed in, which will make it harder to reheat if you'd decide to eat half and take the other half home with you. As mentioned, the salad is probably the best bet as it mixes in some greens with the carbs. All in all, nice but, unfortunately for us Californians, cost of doing business here is atrocious and I would not expect to pay over 50 Bucks for the 3 items.... we got spoiled in the southern states and on the east coast with their large meals for less. read more

Another great meal from Fat Sals. This time I tried the Albacore Tuna Wrap and it was delicious. They really packed the tortilla with tons of Tuna. Their portions are always Huge and basically two meals for me. Not sure what I like better the Chicken Caesar wrap or the Albacore Tuna wrap as both are delicious. I will definitely be ordering this again. read more

Just flew into LAX from SFO, and the reviews and pictures of the food doesn't do this place justice! Andrew was awesome he walked us through on the menu and did a great job of temping us on the food AND the shakes!

This place from entrance to exit is so cool and the food is definitely signature only to Fat Sals! We've been here quite a few times before and this Sunday we walked over and I forget the names of sandwiches we ordered (I know, lame sorry) but here's a picture of what my boyfriend got along with his cheesy fries that he devoured with the sauce that comes with it before I could take a pic. Also worth mentioning the staff here are younger, high school or college but always extremely respectful, AWARE, conscious of everything going on and on point with cleaning tables after people leave and the surrounding restaurant area. Always smiles and good energy from the staff here. 10/10 recommend and if you're into merch they have the hands down coolest merch I've ever seen a food establishment have haha! Really cool renditions of punk bands and all kind of cool stuff. Thanks guys! This was Sunday 11/16 around noon or 1pm. And they are dog friendly :) read more

Fat Sal's sandwiches are FAT (in the best way possible)! This was the perfect food for the drunk munchies with their hefty sandwiches that are packed with flavor and well worth the price! I got the Fat Texas (5/5!!!) and it was filled with bbq pastrami brisket, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, crispy bacon, grilled onions, fries, melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese topped with honey bbq and mayo on a garlic sub. Every bite had the perfect amount of meat, carbs, and cheesy goodness! It was so flavorful and I could only finish half. I also got the bacon cheeseburger fries (4/5) and it was huge portions for the cost! I love the fresh shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and onion on it that cut out the heaviness of the hamburger chunks, fries, and the melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Perfect meal to end the night! read more

I loved: Fat Texas I liked: Fat Sal I haven't stumbled upon a Fat Sal's since college but this place is just as #goodeats as I remember each sandwich is just stuffed with everything you wish you had in a sandwich when you're young. Mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, bacon, eggs, brisket, fries, and pastrami? Insane combo! The service was pretty quick and quick to take things off if you ask. The most impressive thing here is the actual decor of the place. I'm used to the original location by UCLA. This place is so much nicer and cleaner as well read more

They never disclosed it was going to take over an hour to get my food. We walked over an hour and they still didn't give us our food. When I asked for a refund they wouldn't give me one. We paid almost $100 to wait over an hour and not get anything. 0 stars if possible read more

If you are ravenous from a day at the beach definitely hit up Fat Sal's for a carby, cheesy sandwich. They are open late but only a couple other people were dining in around 6 on a Saturday night - I'm sure it is busier during the summer! I ordered the Fat Cug (FYI: it is pronounced queue-g and not kug, don't embarrass yourself like I did) with chicken, mozzarella sticks, and parm truffle fries. The cashier accidentally gave me an order of fries but let me keep them even though I tried to correct him! The sandwich was perfection - loved the garlic bread, and vodka sauce is always a winner in my book! I think it was pretty pricey ($20 for a sandwich) but I'm pretty sure that's par for the course in Venice. You will definitely leave satisfied! read more

Open late. Regular sandwiches are good. DO NOT order the burgers, the patties are paper thin and I mean like a thin slice of deli meat thin, extra crispy, less than 2 ounces of meat... not worth it at all, highly disappointed. The regular sandwiches are good, go for that for sure. read more

Not sure if this was the greatest tasting burger & fries that I've had in a while because I was craving it so badly, but they do an excellent job with both. Perfectly cooked burger, delicious sauce, fries better than McDonalds. I prefer this burger and fries over In and Out anyday! read more

I've been going to Fat Sal's for years, starting back when it was a little stand in Westwood. I've been a fan for a long time, but they have expanded across the city and the exterior may have changed, but the quality has not. Try different sandwiches, you may find a new favorite. You will always have enough food when you order a meal at Fat Sal's. I have ordered online and must admit that my eyes were bigger than my stomach... several toes. From breakfast sandwiches, lunch and dinner you can't go wrong. They even have ridiculously good milkshakes (think Travolta's response in Pulp Fiction) and if you have room the cookies are the finishing touch. If you go in person, some (if not all) serve alcohol and this one stays open until 3am. The ambiance is nice much better than just an average sandwich shot. The people that work there are friendly and accommodating and they are dog friendly. The only negative is they only serve my favorite sandwich, the Pilgrim, during the winter/holiday months. I must admit I get a Pilgrim at least once a week, but usually more like 2-3x a week. read more

I did a door dash order so I can't speak for the layout of the store! I was staying at a hotel nearby so the food was very warm when I revived it. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with seasoned fry's and their sauce. That sandwich was HELLLA good. I've had a lot of Philly cheesesteak sandwich's before but unlike this one never. The taste was un real. It didn't look like much but the taste was there. I got the seasoned fry's rather than the normal fry's. I wasn't a big fan of the seasoning used. The sauce was really good though. read more

Fat Sal's in Venice always hits when you're craving something ridiculous in the best way possible. I pulled up after a long day, saw the menu and knew I was about to do damage. I ordered the Fat Jerry -- straight madness in a sandwich. Mozzarella sticks, cheesesteak, fries, onion rings all in one bite?? Disrespectfully good. It's not food, it's a cheat code. Spot has a chill, late-night vibe. Big portions, fair prices for what you get. You're definitely not leaving hungry. Honestly, I wasn't planning to eat like that, but Yelp had me curious and I'm glad I gave it a shot. 100% coming back next time I'm in the area or just feel like treating myself to something wild. read more

Been meaning to try this place forever and it's pretty good. The sandwiches are comically large and two people could easily split one, which makes the $20 price pretty reasonable. I got the bodega chopped cheese one and it as pleasingly rich and unctuous. I like the creativity with the fries in the sandwich, but I think they kind of make it too busy and adds more dryness than crunch. Maybe just a smaller amount of fries would work. read more

Came here right before everyone was leaving for the holidays picked up one of my best friends from LAX after waiting in line for an hour and of course that house was open. I'd only been here once before with some of my friends after a late night owl and let me tell you this place hits every time open until 3 AM. Great food great place to be on the Venice Boardwalk and everyone's just so chill. Can't wait to come back. read more

Venice outpost of popular fat sandwich and burger shop. Came here post-Venice Run Club with a friend and we left fully satiated. You order at the counter and pay, and then you can seat yourself. There's open air indoor as well as fully outdoor seating. There's a soda machine that dispenses water and there's also two single occupant restrooms that have coded key locks. Credit cards accepted. I had the fat hot chick and my friend had the new sandwich that wasn't on the regular menu yet. We traded halves and so got to try both. We also split an order of fries, although note that you can ask upgrade to a combo which includes fries and a drink. They have heavy milkshakes as well. The sandwiches are really filling and we had my other half the following day for lunch. It kept relatively well. read more

Fat Sal's is located at 37 Washington Blvd just steps from the beach and Venice Fishing Pier. It has been in business now about three years and it is the onloy place open after 10:00 excluding Hinano's. My server was Robert who is a nice kid and generally speaking they do a good job of hiring counter help. The place is clean and has plenty of seating, but I always order takeout. I ordered a cup of Chili which was hardly a cup at all at $6.99 and was cold when I got home which is like a 5-minute walk just down Washington. I also ordered the Chicken Fingers which are always good ($8.98) and left a Tip of $2.55. The grand total was $21.14 and I just thought from price to amount, the Chili was underwhelming. I mean, how much does it take make chili and the fact it was cold was annoying. Fat Sal's is convenient for me being just down the street, but the menu needs an overhaul and many of the items are not cooked or prepared to order. Nevertheless, Fat Sal's is a stop worth considering in an area by the beach for sandwiches, fries and other fast food favorites. RECOMMEND. read more

The sandwiches were "meh" and the cost was pretty high for a sandwich shop. I wasn't that thrilled with it. The only positive is the location--very close to the beach, in a very populated area. Still, not enough to recommend it. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It looks so good and the review sounded good. Also the guy that took my order was really nice but the burger I had was terrible. This is a gimmick burger place everything is just piled on with an assortment of toppings that aren't needed when you have a quality burger. It's a Smashburger style. The patties are so super thin. You can't even taste the meat. Not worth it. If you want a good burger, this is not the place. They do have a lot of sandwich options and maybe the Philly cheesecake is good, but I don't think I'll be back to try anything else. read more
