    Half-fat shack with fried pickles and cheddar cheese sauce.
    Stephanie S.

    The 11 am-4 pm $10.99 burger lunch special was good! It comes with a single cheeseburger, french fries & fountain drink. I ordered the $10.99 half-fat shack. Added fried pickles and cheddar cheese sauce. Next time I'll only order a half or whole philly cheesesteak sandwich. The philly cheesesteak and cheddar cheese sauce I included in my fat sandwich was bomb! But the fat sandwiches aren't my thing. It was too much going on for me to enjoy it. I guess the establishment doesn't accept calls. No one answers the phone! When I arrived, it didn't take long to prepare my order. The service was decent, and the establishment had a cool vibe.

    We tried this place for the first time and were pleasantly surprised! They serve burgers and "fat sandwiches" which are basically a ton of toppings/sides shoved into a sandwich roll. We got the "fat jersey", "fat shack" and "fat cow". They were massive with tons of flavor! The fat shack had a little bit of everything, and it tasted the best! Would for sure go back!

    Yiiikes not gonna lie this was a trashy stinky gross mistake. I mean i get it it's a stoner joint it's open til 3am but dude hell no I would never want anybody to try this location. It smelled oh it was filthy and dirty and ughh don't even get me started on the restroom that was disgusting. It smelled so bad and it was as dirty in that restroom as it was outside. How can a big time restaurant franchise like this have a nasty new joint like this open? Not being racist but don't mind my detailed choice of words but I think this location is ran by an Indian family. You had a dopey little Indian dude walking out front stoned I mean yeah it's ok with me I don't care about being smoked out but dude this location was gross. Anyways they were jamming out to party Indian music I'm guessing that was another friend or family member working the kitchen. Anyways waaaay over priced food like $17 for just a drink, burger and fries and $25 for a Philly cheese, onion rings and drink. The food wasn't good the burger was over cooked or made on a dirty grill. It had allot of char on the burger and the fries were soggy and had a gross taste like old oil. The Philly wasn't bad it had allot of meat but little cheese and no veggies. The onions were just as bad as the fries. They have a whole wall or walls covered with store merchandise but they don't sell it you have to order online. Pure stupid I've never gone to a shop with advertised merchandise only to be told that you can only get it online. That's by far the dumbest concept! You're given a few packets of ketchup no salt or pepper located or even some sort of hot sauce. Out of all the tables around me only one table had napkins all the others including the one I was sitting at were all out. The place was dead nobody was eating there and they had zero effort to clean it up. If you look around you will see stains and finger prints on the walls and tables. The front door was just as bad and the giant bean bags are soo filthy I strongly recommend you don't even sit on them.

    Food was delicious! I have read the comments and decided to give it a try even though there a lot of negative comments. Came here today, nobody in the restaurant, ordered myself a fat shack sub with no honey mustard, let me tell you, when it's fresh it's soooooo goood!!! Not a lot of service, but I didn't need any to eat or get my own drink. I do recommend to try it, but I would suggest to come in store and eat so you can get it fresh out the grill!

    Heard great things so a friend and I checked it out. Noticed lunch specials for wings as well as burgers so we got that. I chose the xtra Buffalo sauce on my wings which came with a side of ranch, fries and a soda. My friend's burger was the same sans ranch. The wings have been on my mind!! Although small, they were so crispy and delicious. I know it's called Fat Shack but I really wanted carrots and celery instead of fries to go with my wings. My friend said that her burger was delicious as well. I checked in as I thought I saw tht I could get some fried Oreos but no such luck. I'll be back and in fact am thinking of returning now.

    Interesting choice for lunch today! Yummy, fresh, quick and the staff was awesome! They are practicing safe distancing. Love the difference menu! On the TCU area, and parking wasn't to bad. It was a Saturday, so we got a close up street parking. Will try again!

    Let me start off with: how great is it to get a taste of state fair any day of the week? They serve HUGE stuffed sandwiches with fillings like cheesesteak, onion rings, french fries, and cheese sticks. The sandwich is paired with a choice of sauce. Typically they have a open sauce bar when you dine in but right now they charge for to go since the pandemic is happening. We got the fat shack (the sandwich they're known for) and fried cheesecake which cost us about $18 which is a bit pricey. Our sandwich was missing the cheesesteak component which was the reason we bought the fat shack which is a bit pricier. We were disappointed about that but service was good. We ordered online and picked up during the time frame they gave. The taste was ok. I wasnt wowed but it could be my personal taste where I rather have chicken fingers and french fries rather a sandwich with a 1 of each filling. The dessert was good, super sweet but nice variety like fried twinkie, fried oreos and fried cookies. Overall the price is ok. Taste was average. But variety is definitely the wow factor. Definitely worth a try but I don't think I will return especially when since my order was messed up.

    I wish I was young enough to do this place justice but alas, the junk food of tomorrow is tonight's Everest, feast and be merry my pre-diabetic friends (diabetics: proceed with caution). These @sharktankabc deal makers are Late Night Done Right! They're known for their Fat Sandwiches. I tried their signature "The FAT SHACK" which is made with: Cheesesteak, chicken fingers, jalapeno poppers, mozzarella sticks, french fries, onion rings and choice of sauce like ranch, cheddar cheese, or delicious Honey Mustard. I couldn't choose so I got all three. That's ONE sandwich and that is all the ingredients inside that ONE sandwich. It was INTENSE. I was full after a few bites. It's everything and the sink with These people. Absolutely an indulgence in the moment, but tasted horrible reheated. It's totally something you can share but I wouldn't take leftovers home unless I ate it that day. So don't get a bigger size thinking it's good for two meals. Just enjoy it when it's fresh. The FAT DOOBIE (chicken fingers, French fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and honey mustard) And the FAT COW (mac n' cheese, bacon, french fries, mozzarella sticks, and buffalo ranch) are fan favourites. Also have desserts like deep fried Oreos, cookies, cheesecake bites, funnel cake bites, and Rice Krispie bites, or try one of their milkshakes. The deep fried Oreos are very similar to what we get at the TX state fair. But at the sauce station, they also have chocolate and strawberry dipping sauces! It's obviously sweet enough with the powdered sugar, but hey!...You only live once. Get your late night eats by delivery through all major delivery services or come thru as they're open till 1 AM weekdays and 3 AM Friday and Saturday night. @crjetc

    Couldn't finish my meal. It was so greasy and tastes like soggy bread. The fries were great however the cheesesteak was not

    My friends and I were in Fort Worth for a little weekend fun and after driving in and checking into…read moreour hotel, we sought out food and drinks. Yelp brought us here. Gustos Burgers N Stuff is basically a house turned restaurant and bar. You literally walk through the front door and walk through rooms. They also have a nice backyard turned into a large patio. Customer service was great. You order at the counter and when your food is ready they'll bring it out to you. The food menu is pretty small and simple. They have one starter which are the jalapeno poppers. It's your standard popper but they elevate it by glazing it with salted brown sugar honey butter. It is really good. I'm usually not big on sweet and savory combos but this works and packs just the right amount of heat. Burgers is their game. Smash burgers to be exact and the best variety in my opinion. They have 4 meat options as well as an Impossible Burger option. They come in single, double or triple meat and the price varies according to what you pick. First time here so I had to go with just a regular smash burger which is the Gusto Burger. I can't remember if I went double or triple, but either choice is good as one thin patty is never the move with a smash burger. It comes with American cheese (the only right cheese for burgers), caramelized onions, their house sauce and pickles. It comes on a buttered toasted bun which held up nicely to all the toppings. This burger was outstanding. I would put it up there as one of the best smash burgers I've had. Everyone in our party agreed. I went with tots for my side and it was a very generous portion that was cooked to perfection and seasoned nicely. I washed it down with a local beer from their nice selection of draft beers. They also have a nice variety of bottled drinks as well as cocktails. I am glad we randomly found this spot in Fort Worth because it was a solid spot to quench our thirst and fill our bellies. I will most definitely be back when in the area.

    Truth bomb of a review coming right up- Super cute dive bar…read morevibe hipster place. Right by TCU so it's obviously the place to go for a good smash burger that is reasonably priced for what it is. Service is kind and we got our food fast enough. The tables turn quickly but they basically have no time to wipe them down. I always love the Maine root soda selection. The smash burger is absolutely soaked in grease. That's even with two patties! As someone who loves a good smash burger more than a gourmet burger, I couldn't even finish it and felt a lil queasy. And I eat everything. The tater tots felt just as unhealthy and oily. It definitely feels like a place to use burgers to soak up the booze. Perfect if you're in college and when your metabolism can handle anything. If not, I'd recommend skipping it.

But Yelp is rarely wrong so off I go. I showed up and ordered from a small kitchen woo. Menu was on a board. I got a single patty chz burger w/ crispy FFs. Order showed up a few minutes later. This burger was one of the best I've ever had. And I've had Margie's in Bryan and this one is right there. Juicy patty, grilled onions, melting cheese, a little salt n pepper. Oh so good.

We had a weekday off and decided to make an effort to show up. We werent disappointed! We didnt want to go into a food coma, so we ordered an indian taco to share and some tater tots. It took maybe 7 minutes for our order, which was not bad at all with them frying up the frybread on order. To our surprise, the owner decided that the one frybread we were initially having was too small, so we got two "medium" frybreads with all the fixings. The owner is super nice and didnt have to do that! The frybread itself is the best Ive had at a restaurant in DFW. Its soft, while crispy and substantial in its doughiness. The fixings are not fancy, but they are executed well in every aspect. I like that they offer green chili sauce in addition to all the typical taco fixings. The tater tots were super crispy and were exactly what I wanted in tater tots. While the seating here is in a covered outdoor shack, they do have air conditioning. The day we visited was a pleasant 70 degrees, so there was no need for the AC to run. But I also mention this in case you come in August. I imagine the AC unit does a good job, but its not a typical interior setup.
