    Chooksty and James got some big ahh sandwich that even had mozzarella sticks stuffed inside. Only had one bite and it was good... I was under the influence when I had it lol! But, it was indeed filling that we could not even finish the whole thing in one seating and we were hungry. I got the chocolate milkshake for myself, which was creamy, but tasted meh. I mean, they just have a premade vanilla milkshake that they then put hersheys chocolate syrup to mix in. Bruh. And I was checking continuously to see if they called my number, so I went up to the front desk to address the issue, and they said that they been calling even though not projected with a microphone nor on a screen with numbers called to be featured. Poorly executed. But, at least staff still served my order to me. No staff to clean tables. I want to say something good, but remember leaving there with my eyes rolling at how poorly done the service was.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Regular Gorbies Sandwich

    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!

    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!

    Single burger  and fries
    Steve N.

    If you are in the mood for some not so good for you but utterly satisfying food, Fat Shack is the place to go. They are open late til 3am and offer burgers, wings, cheesesteak, fat stuffed sandwiches with sides including fries, onion rings and cheese fries. If you are in the mood for something sweet they offer deep fried Oreos, deep fried funnel cake and deep fried cheesecake. It is a low key eatery with good service.

I received a promo for $5 off so I tried to use it the previous time, but she didn't know how to apply it. Then another time when I order The Caribbean Plato with pulled roasted pork, when I got home, I discovered the wrong type of meat (grilled pork instead of pulled pork). For these reasons, I didn't go back for a long time. Today, I went again to get take out for my visitors. I called in the order so I didn't have to wait, but Gisela didn't understand my order and kept getting it wrong. I ordered 3 Caribbean Plato with pulled pork, and 1 Caribbean Plato with chicken thigh, but she kept repeating the wrong order back to me (2 pork, instead of 3, wrong type of meat, etc), so I tried it again and again, still no comprendo. I got frustrated and told her that I would just come in person to order. I was in a hurry, but I had no choice. When I got there, I ordered the same thing, but this time, I gestured the type of pork I wanted, using my hands to show pulled and tried to explain that I wanted the shredded kind, not the solid kind). Someone was with me so he heard my order in plain English. As I was waiting for my order, I decided to ask her once more just to be sure that it wasn't the grilled pork bc she made that mistake last time. Then she said my meat was grilling now. I was alarmed since they don't get the pulled pork from the grill. I told her that I wanted PULLED ROASTED PORK, not the solid grilled patty kind. She said something in Spanish to the guy who was putting my order together and he showed me a sample of the pulled pork so I said "YES" that's the one I want. She said they were already cooking the grilled pork. When I told her that she was giving me the wrong order, she said "it's too late". I was so upset so I said, "why is it so hard to understand my order?" Pulled pork is pulled pork, not grilled pork. I never even mentioned the word "grilled". A guy came out from the kitchen so I explained myself and he said what I want is the pulled roasted pork and I said, "that's what I ordered". She tried to explain something to him in Spanish, but he told her to just give me the pulled pork and I was on my way. She just ruined my day, and I could feel my blood pressure rising. I don't think I will ever return again. It's too hard to explain the right kind of meat to Gisela. Dining out and getting take out should be a pleasant experience, not a stressful one.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

The bread here was fantastic, and the sandwich itself was full of flavor. The inside is cute, and watching two guys dedicate their lives to making sandwiches in the open kitchen is part of the fun... I also spotted a tray coming out of the oven that looked like thick, PERFECTLY crispy bacon, - so whatever sandwich that was going into is definitely what I'm ordering if I ever get here again.

The interior is cozy and old world city vibes. Not a ton of seating and it can take a bit for getting your sandwich. It took 30-40 minutes to get our sandwiches at lunch time. After we already had waited in line. There was a line out the door when we got there. You order on a tablet and several people in front of us were quite slow ordering and it made the line take awhile. We waited at least 10-15 minutes in the line. They have an order ahead option I would utilize next time. The seasonal soup was kale and potato. It was very bland and watery. I wouldn't get it again. The bread was tough and chewy. You definitely get a jaw workout. Both of the warm sandwiches could have used a side of Au jus to soften the bread. The meat looks generous, but they do the sandwich trick. You fold the meat in the middle to make it look generous. But the ends are basically devoid of meat. Maybe a sliver. Flavors were really good. The mustard on the Cubano had a nice kick. Porchetta had a kick from the chimichurri and pickled peppers. Both were a little spicy and my son didn't love it so we ordered him a cold ham sandwich without the mustard. The cold meats are high quality as well, but definitely a little plain compared to the warm sandwiches. Overall 5/10 experience though. More evenly distributed meat and softer bread it would be A solid 10/10.
