I mean, theoretically, what's there to not like? I need fries and a burger and it's 11pm? Oh look, Fat Shack's open! AND they have deep fried Oreos??? Sign me up. The restaurant itself leaves a lot to be desired, but I'm not asking too much. I believe the owner said he was trying to revamp the place. I hope that the area comes alive in the future years, that should help. Here's the issue though, this is the slowest spot ever. I've waited 30 minutes for fries - FRIES. I don't mind waiting for food, but it should remain reasonable. There were only two or three people working, and one man did tell us this, but I need to be honest - this was on Super Bowl Sunday. No one was able to get anyone a beer from the tap for 40 minutes, the food took forever and it appeared that online orders were being prioritized (which makes sense, you make as you get orders coming in, but that puts your in person customers in an odd and sometimes frustrating position). To be honest, I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I just had some fries to snack on. I didn't mind as much this one time because I was just happy to find a place to watch the Super Bowl Half Time show, but other days, it's a little hard to look past. I wish this business the best, I live too close to not hope for its improvement! Looking forward to updating my review. At the end of the day, if you're hungry, it's late, this is your spot. read more

I recently went to Fat Shack and paid $19 for their Fat Shack sandwich. After I ordered, they came out and told me they didn't have any Philly cheesesteak, so they didn't put it on the sandwich. Naturally, I asked, "So you didn't make the sandwich I ordered?" He said, "No, you got the sandwich." I said, "Okay... so did you make the sandwich I ordered or not?" He said yes. I open it up and it's literally two chicken fingers, fries, and honey mustard. No Philly cheesesteak. So I asked, "If you didn't have Philly cheesesteak, why didn't you tell me that when I ordered it?" He said, "I don't know, I can put it on the side if you'd like." I said, "I thought you didn't have any Philly cheesesteak?" He walked away, came back with a side of Philly cheesesteak, and told me to put it on the sandwich myself. For $19, I shouldn't have to assemble my own sandwich -- especially after being told you didn't even have the main ingredient. Just be upfront with customers. read more

Perfect food for a game, a night out, sobering up! Fried, heavy, yummy food. I stayed at the nearby Embassy after the Leagues Cup finale, it was 11pm and I found my tummy-to-be-a-rumblin with all the alcohol I had consumed earlier in the day. I got the cheesesteak and the cheeseburger, my partner - chicken fingers and fries. The cheesesteak was bussin! It was ooey-gooey and meaty! The double cheeseburger had a good sized tomato on it. Delicious! It was all well made. The fingers looked a little small, but he got a good amount. I wished there were more options with lettuce and tomato lol, or a more basic sandwich. There were no drinks available either, no canned sodas?! It's nothing nice to look at inside. The door is heavy; given the neighborhood, I understand. The blonde girly working was quiet but kind. read more

Went here twice. Both on a trip back and forth on a train. It's right next to the train station. It's not bad. The buger (and the foid on general) wasn't overly flavorful. The first time I went I stood in the lobby for like 15 minutes before a person came out. Which wasn't a huge deal because i ordered online, but it felt weird that no one came out. Eventually they did and placed a bell on the counter and then within a few moments I had my food. The big theme is "late night food" I'm sure if it's was late I might feel different but overall it felt like someone who really like Jack in the box decided to open a bar. It wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination but not mind blowing either. read more

It's embarrassing that I can be this confident that the jalapeño poppers are from the exact same supplier as Jack in the Box, but I've had way too many late night orders from Jack's over the years and a bitch knows. Sorry. But Jack's are cheaper and their ranch is better. Munchie Madness Platter was pretty disappointing for $20. It would be way less sad-looking if you maybe throw in a couple more pieces, or toss in a cheap filler like french fries or something, or make your own sauces/dressings instead of using Ken's brand packets (they're gross; I just throw them out unopened). Maybe these are not remotely realistic suggestions...I'm definitely no expert, so don't mind me. read more

When you're craving something healthy you don't go to a place called Fat Shack. But if you are looking for a cheat meal with something fried, cheesy and gooey this is your spot. The burgers were well seasoned and cooked, the onion rings fried to a nice golden crisp and chicken wings were juicy with right bite off the bone. The staff was friendly and got us our food quickly. They also got some sandwiches that were packed with the ingredients but that's something to be tackled on the next cheat day. read more

I enjoyed the food and the overall vibe of this place. The staff was helpful and attentive. One dish arrived slightly warm instead of hot, but the quality was still good. read more

I'm so glad Fat Shack was here! I had a little time to get a meal before jumping on my train and a burger was in order. I got the Classic meal. The fries were fantastic! Crispy and well seasoned. The burger was nice and simple, overcooked just a fuzz, with a little too much pepper. It was a good sized meal for a great price! I'll definitely be back! Good food, great location, good service! read more

Terrible customer service. The employee was rude and the food wasn't even that good. Never spending my money here again.

This place is just fine. For some reason, I was expecting it to be a fast food place, not a table service bar/restaurant. Prices were a lot more expensive than I thought and the venue had a lot of different menu items, beer options, and seating like a sit-down bar/restaurant would offer. I came here on a weekday lunch and it was completely dead. But then again, this whole area seems to be dead after the pandemic (quite sad actually). Maybe this place gets busier in the evening and late nights but I am not sure what keeps this place going. Perhaps game days/nights around the stadiums but even that, there are other options that are within closer proximity. The food was good! I ordered the Single Burger and a small size of fries. Total came to $16 including tax and tip. The burger was very very well made visually and the fries were fried to near perfection. If you like extra crispy fries, you will love them here. The venue is a lot cleaner than how it looks from the outside and the official food safety rating is "Excellent". That's really about it. Maybe I will give them another visit before or after one of the sporting events nearby. But here is the thing (circulating back to how I started the review) - if we are talking about a proper sit-down bar/restaurant (like this place is claiming to be), I am just not sure if this place is competitive enough in terms of its appeals. As mentioned, the place is clean, the food is good, service is okay, etc. but it just needs ...a little something more. And of course, this is just my opinion. Many would disagree. read more

FUQ, why is this so damn good? Fat Shack will make you fat. Do not eat here. Because when you try it, you will love it; thus, you will continue to go and get fat. Do not eat here. I visited Fat Shack for lunch one day because this eatery is supppper close to where I work, so it's convenient AF. Also, I learned that Fat Shack was featured on Shark Tank and Travel Channel, so decided to see what the fuss was all about. On a weekday during the lunch hour, the place was pretty busy. So I recommend if you're in a hurry, like on a lunch break, order ahead of time because the food is made as it's ordered. That's always a good sign. But if you want something fast then this isn't that. Fat Shack is known for their fat sandwiches. They're all fat because they're filled with food you should not be eating like chicken strips, french fries, bacon, cheese sticks, anything you'd have a hankering for when you're wasted, etc. There's also different sizes, based off the inches of the bread it's on. The regular size is nine inches, the large is a foot long and a small size is six inches. I ordered a regular gorbies sandwich with a side of fries. My order took about half an hour to get, so again, order ahead if you're in a hurry. The gorbies sandwich was so freaking good though! My sandwich came with chicken strips, bacon, fries, cheddar cheese, lettuce and ranch. And the freaking bread was perfect, with a soft dense texture inside yet with a crispy exterior, for that bite. How the heck did they manage that? The sandwich was delicious. Everything was very tasty, but you really can't go wrong with chicken strips and bacon and fries and cheese and lettuce and ranch. I mean, really. SO, SO good. It just kills me that this and any of the food here at Fat Shack is not good for you. You will eat your suggested calories for the day in one item here, seriously. And the fries were double dipped, so had that extra crunch on them. NOMS. I'm glad I tried Fat Shack, which is exactly the kind of place that would be featured on Travel Channel since there's a lot to love here. Should I even mention the DEEP FRIED OREOS OR TWINKIE here? Yeah, this is food that should not be eaten on the daily or weekly or monthly. Maybe like, twice a year. But it's so damn good...SEE YOU THERE SOON! read more

This was a really solid choice after a couple of drinks out and about. It's a sandwich full of comfort food! They are also very customizable with the options so I could easily make one of the options vegetarian. They did take more time to make the order than others, but it was super well packaged! Nothing leaked or tipped over with how it was double wrapped and bagged. Can't speak to ambiance as we got take out. I'd definitely order late night noms again! read more

Came here before an M's game simply because I wanted a quick burger. Fat Shack is was! In a fast food-esque fashion, you order at the counter and wait for your food to be delivered to your table (about 10 mins). Go at an 'off' time to ensure you get a seat; seating was semi-limited. We got our burgers and fries and boy, they were SO GOOD and hit the spot! Fries were crispy, burgers were filling and tasty. We devoured everything. Service was friendly and fast. Menu was vast and had every type of comfort food (eyeing the onion rings next time), even beers on tap. Fat Shack is open til 3am, close to the stadiums, and offers carryout, meaning I'll definitely be hitting up Fat Shack again. read more

I thought cool menu was the worst thing I ever ate wet cold and soggy expensive as well

Possibly the best onion rings anywhere, crispy not greasy large and a big portion. The angus burger is amazing and well priced. The fried are años very good. They have all sorts of y dual sandwiches, chupen wings ect as well as beer. It's a nice interior with roomy booths. If you want a great burger this is one of the best certainly better than say shake shack and take my advice get the onion rings read more

Came here to try this place for its food. I had their buffalo wings with ranch. The service was okay. It seemed like they were busy complaining about some work issues before and after we ordered. The wings were on the smaller side but were super crunchy was a great texture for wings and the ranch of course just adds the creaminess and fat you want with a buffalo flavored wing Will definitely come back here and try more items! read more

Slow service. Waited over an hour and half for our food and it came out cold. I would not recommend coming here.

Coming to Seattle, one place we were curious about checking out was Fat Shack as we don't have that back in California (as far as I'm aware). Apparently they had relocated their store, so we spent some time searching for where they had moved their place to. As we got there when it was pretty late, the inside was pretty empty and so it was quite spacious. It's clean and tidy inside, so they definitely do a good job of maintaining it. If you're looking for a good late night snack, this place is definitely it. We were curious about trying the deep-fried cheesecake bites, so we decided to get those and some mozzarella sticks. The bar isn't very high for mozzarella sticks to be honest, but this place probably had some of the best ones I've had so far. They were super crispy and cheesy, and the marinara sauce was great. The cheesecake bites were also delicious, and the chocolate sauce they provided made it much better. Overall, I think this place is worth checking out if you have the late night munchies! I don't think they'll disappoint. read more

Menu board not functioning. When eating I overheard the employee telling two men all burgers are cooked in the same spot as the bacon, so they all have traces of bacon. I asked why I wasn't told and asked why they didn't disclose it. I was wearing a Kippot (Jewish skull cap). He said that is how every restaurant that serves any bacon does it. I told him that is not true as I worked for many years in food and beverage. He told me too bad I need to leave. The music was also profane. I will not be back obviously. read more

If you want to waste 30 minutes of your life, come here. This place blows. More characters to meet the minimum.

This place surprised me! Leaving the ballpark and decided to stop here to grab a meal to bring back to the hotel. The menu is giving heart attack with all the fried things and various sandwich creations, so I kept it simple with a cheeseburger and fries combo. It wasn't the fastest, but the wait wasn't ridiculously long either especially for their being several people in the restaurant. I scurried to the hotel and popped open my meal...that burger was delicious!!!! I got everything on it, which I'm so glad that I did! The burger sauce was so good. Now the fries may have looked plain, but they were perfectly cooked with a lot of flavor. I usually dip my fries in honey mustard, which I ordered as well, but these fries didn't need them! I loved this place so much I circled the block the next day. Solid casual dining option! Food rating Cheeseburger 9/10 Fries 9/10 Customer service 9/10 Ambiance 7/10 read more

New burger spot in the neighborhood so my boyfriend and I decided to check it out. There is street parking and large pay to park lot right next to the building. The restaurant is new and clean. Large and has booths. We got a single cheeseburger, 6 piece golden bbq wings and cheese fries. The cheeseburger was good. It was juicy from the meat and the sauces and vegetables tasted fresh, very refreshing. 6 piece golden bbq wings came out hot. I was skeptical about getting the wings but really surprised by the quality and crunch. Glad I got it. AND THE CHEESE FRIES. Star of the show! Cheese fries are very simple and it's been hard to find one that was nostalgic, delicious and satisfying. We found one! There's prices on the menu in the restaurant for some items but not all. On their to go menus, there's no prices. Smart business wise, but as a customer, I'd prefer if the prices were on the menu. If we're ever in the area again, sure but I wouldn't make a trip for it. Perfect spot for locals in the neighborhood. Food is spot on and the cashier was patient and nice. read more

The only reason why I'm giving 2 stars is because the guy who took my order was nice and patient with my son and I while we were ordering and the fried Oreos actually were pretty good. Aside from that, I want to know where the additional $10+ that I was charged came from. I ordered the munchie madness platter, 5 sauces (4 were suppose to be included with the platter) the chicken and fries (which consisted of 3 chicken strips with a handful of French fries), 2 bottles sodas and a 5 piece Oreo with chocolate and strawberry sauce. When I paid I clicked 'no tip' (I tipped with cash in hopes that they wouldn't get taxed on it) so I truly do not understand how I got charged nearly $60 for an order that was originally suppose to be nearly $50.. Aside from that. It is typical frozen to fried food that you can buy at cash and carry. I also was only given 1 marinara instead of 2 which wasn't nearly enough for the mozzarella sticks and Mac bites ): I really wanted to like this place because the cashier was kind but it just fell a little short and I also was over charged. read more

The Maverick sandwich was A-OK. Fried chicken, fries, mac & cheese, drizzled with BBQ sauce loaded onto a sandwich, what could be better!? Fat Shack is where you should go for munchies and late night cravings. They put all your favorite appetizer items into a sandwich and I had a really hard time choosing when I saw the menu but I had seen photos of the new Fat Maverick and needed it! I had some time to wait before a Sounders game so I stayed. There are booths along the wall and bar seating so it seemed like a fun spot to hang out but it quickly got weird. A man at the bar rudely yelled at the employees for a bathroom code. He was crude and overly rude. Some police officers were inside during their break and they just giggled. These employees need a raise for what they deal with. A few minutes later more police officers came in to ask another man to leave. I ended up wrapping up my sandwich and heading out. I would definitely order to go next time! read more
