    Uber eat messed up and picked up the order from a wrong place, and guess what place it was. Fat Shack I received someone else order pretty late at night when i called them the person was super unpleasant and rude. So i got stuck with Boneless Fingers and Munchie Madness Platter. What can i say it was pretty bad. Ended up trashing the meal and saving someone a disappointment.

    Lunch specials and Sunday Wing Deal

    LATE NIGHT done right! Yes! If you wanna be a fatty and enjoy all the good FRIED things then check out Fat Shack! Honestly I have been avoiding this place because I was worried I'd be there weekly for deep fried Oreos! I finally picked up some takeout to bring home. It was a Sunday and I really wanted wings. Coincidently, Sunday's wings are half off. What a score! We ordered the platter of appetizers, 24 wings, and a sandwich. Wow! It was a feast, a fatty feast! It was glorious! Definitely if you wanna break the diet and unwind and enjoy some of your fried favorites then order Fat Shack. It's definitely not super quality, super fresh or super healthy, but it does hit da spot for cravings. We Will order again when we need a fried food binge! Also, they do a sweet Happy Hour with $2 draft, $2 wells & $3 Tequila sunrise and a $7.99 wing/6.99 burger lunch special.

    Don't waste your time. Food not fresh. Items on the fat sandwiches were missing items on each sandwich we had. Only reason two stars were given was because the deep fried oreos were tasty and wings were nice size and fried well.

    Never been here before but I thought I'd give it a try... pretty disappointed with this place, i walked in and it smelled like I was at 420 in downtown civic center park. I walked up to the counter to pickup my order and the guy at the register was to busy talking to a group of people to even ask if I needed help. When he finally came over he didn't say anything to me at all, I said I was there to pick up and he asked the name. Ok, bad service, got home and opened up the wings and the sauce was not very good, would have been better if I used some Frank's Redhot from home. Next off, started eating the wings and the drums where not even cooked in the middle. I mean a little pink in the middle I get but these were not even cooked in the middle... I will not be back.

    Imagine Subway but the toppings are mozzarella sticks, French fries, Mac n cheese, and Philly cheesesteak. Add some beer, chicken wings, and fried deserts and you've got fat shack! Open late with seating, this is the quintessential Apres-drinking spot to help sober you up. Or , help you carb load to tackle a Colorado 14er, or both.

    Walked in tonight on the recommendation of my manager at dish. The location is the closest to my house 20 minutes away. My manager promised it was worth it and he was right. The place was spotless when we walked in. The guy behind the counter was taking an order and welcomed us in. Two of my daughters my wife and I ordered our food and the employee behind the counter included my 6 and 13 year old daughters in the process. Smart move because they loved that he noticed and they ordered shakes which I wouldn't have ordered them. I wanted to try a few things so I got a sandwich and wings, my wife got a sandwich and the kids got chicken tenders. The girls wanted to sit at the counter, the employee said absolutely if it was ok with us, home run #2, we got a little peace they got to feel important. Their food came out and he served them first and it was all cooked perfectly and they loved the shakes. Then our wings came out, with no exaggeration, THE BEST WINGS I HAVE HAD IN DENVER! Then our sandwiches came out....ridiculous, the sandwiches were perfect looked like a photo shoot and good lord, you get exactly what you pay for! I am a big guy and I had to tap out on a large at less than half. Excited to see how it reheats. All in all the service was friendly, fast, and attentive! Food was great, my daughters asked "when WILL we be going back?". The only complaint I have is that the beer taps aren't up and running yet. With a beer, this meal would have been an 9-10 out of 10, without the beer it was an 8.99!!! We will be back!!!

    Me and The Hubs stopped in for lunch recently. After perusing the menu, I decided on the ZZ's…read moreCheesy Burger that comes with American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, comeback sauce, and is served with fries (I asked for cheddar instead of American cheese and added some sliced onion since it doesn't come with this burger). The Hubs ordered the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich that comes with bourbon bbq sauce, creamy coleslaw and pickles, and is served with fries (although he swapped out the fries for more slaw). Everything was delicious! I had my burger cooked medium-well and it was perfect; it was still slightly pink inside and moist. While the burger was very tasty, one major plus was that it was also structurally sound (all the ingredients stayed inside the bun and the bun didn't fall apart)! The Hubs also enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich. I tasted the bbq sauce and the slaw that came with his lunch and both were amazing (I dipped more of my fries into the extra bbq sauce that came with his sandwich than I did into the comeback sauce). The fries that came with the burger were crispy, not greasy and not overly salted. While I only had an iced tea with lunch, I did peruse their specialty drinks menu. Wowza, is that a read! We'll be back sometime soon for dinner so we can check that out. BTW, their food menu is more than burgers and sandwiches and there are some nice sounding items that appeal to me more for dinner than lunch (two examples (1) Hoisin Ginger Tuna: Sashimi-grade tuna seared rare, parmesan risotto, arugula slaw, (2) Pesto Cream Salmon: Pan seared salmon crusted with parmesan breadcrumbs, penne pasta, pesto cream sauce, cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper). Despite this restaurant's location next to a boarded up vacant restaurant and being right next to I25, the interior is surprisingly nice and welcoming. And our server was friendly and helpful. So no complaints here!

I look forward to returning soon to try another item on the menu. Keep up the great work!

    Had a pretty bizarre experience here. We came in at 7:45pm on a Saturday (3 of us) and were told we…read morecould sit but the kitchen had to shut down for 45 minutes. Ok no big deal I guess - it didn't look very busy, but these things happen. We were sat and our server took our drink order right away. The cocktails were very good - I tried the Living on a Pear which was very refreshing and the rest of our party had the 1858 which they liked a lot. Once we got our drinks no one came by for 30 minutes and I had to flag someone down to bring us some water. At 30 minutes we asked if chips and guac was an option while the kitchen was "temporarily not serving food" but the server said all the fryers were full with fries so no they can't do that. Ok... so we continued to wait. It was around the 45 minute mark we were able to order so they were true to their word. This is what we ordered: - Pork Belly Bacon Scoops - these were just ok. The fries were nothing to write home about and there wasn't a lot of toppings. The pork belly bits were very small and kind of hard and chewy. The sauce was decent, but just not enough of it. - Li'l Wig - I'm sad to say this was one of the worst burgers I've ever had. I requested medium rare and I don't know what the patty is made out of it, but it resembled more like meatloaf than a burger. It was very dense and had a strong gamey taste, reminded me more of bison or venison. Idk, it was just not very good. I only took a few bites and left the rest. The brioche bun was tasty and so was the W sauce. The fries were really good and had a nice crunch. I wish the appetizer used those fries instead. The service was inconsistent. We were barely checked on until the very end when we had a few different people come by and refill waters / bring the check. We never saw our original server again. It is a nice vibe inside, great lighting and decor with both indoor and outdoor seating, but I don't think I'll be returning. The bill was $133 for 3 drinks, 1 app, and 3 burgers. Felt pretty let down leaving still hungry and over $150 in the hole (after tip). Hoping it was just a fluke and other people have better experiences there.
