When this place was about to open up, we got a menu through the mail. Looked like something different so I was excited to try it out. The type of food is more like something you'd be craving for with the munchies or just something random. However, they do it right. It actually tastes pretty good and fairly good prices for the food, especially during lunch. My favorite Sandwich so far is the Fat Jersey, but without a doubt the burgers are the best. They taste like a great backyard bbq burger with some good fries. Some of the deep fried stuff, like the deep fried oreos are pretty killer! Definitely one of those places that's good to try every now and again, but don't go too often, you might get a mini heart attack. ;) read more

Fat Shack - Fat shack sandwich with cheese sauce:) - Sandwiches Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

See all

Classic case of the midnight munchies! A few of us ordered mozz sticks, buffalo fingers and jalapeño poppers for delivery. They sent us honey mustard instead of the bleu cheese we asked for, but that was mostly ok because I know they gave us more chicken fingers than we had ordered so it definitely wasn't a big deal. Overall, this all satisfied the insatiable midnight "I need fried cheese in my mouth now" mood we've all experienced. Generally speaking, ok in terms of flavor profile. The fingers could've used a little more sauce to fully coat the chicken. The poppers are good but heavily fried if you're into that. The mozz sticks were everything I needed in the moment. Not too greasy. Generally pleased but nothing to rally the army over. read more

Wow fat shack you blew me away tonight!! I ordered my first Philly cheesesteak from there. It was delicious perfect flavor lots of cheese... onion rings were on point. I've had the burgers before and they're OK we are big fans of the macaroni and cheese bites in my house. Just wanted to give you guys a shout out you're the perfect stoner snacking place!! Well done! read more

Definitely, my new favorite place to eat at, the staff was amazing, the service was impeccable, the vibe was just right, and the food was highly delicous, if you are a Foodie is recommend you to add this to your list. read more

First timer...the Philly cheesesteak was a disappointment. Small, dry, and non-seasoned. I couldn't even finish the other half. My son liked the BBQ wings though. Might try this place again but ordering something else. read more

The Fat Shack sandwich is as extreme and crazy as you'd expect. The single burger lunch special is a great deal and it's a quality burger. Definitely a niche place but worth checking out, and a good deal for a good burger at lunch. read more

The wings really aren't good. I'm speaking specifically of the wings themselves. Honestly, the sauce on them was great. But the wings are terrible because they come with some sort of light breading on them. What happens when you put sauce on breaded wings like that? They IMMEDIATELY become soggy, and the outside is like chewing on wet cardboard. Wings are supposed to come out of a fryer CRISPY, and adding sauce to them shouldn't make them soggy. The reason the breading is added to the wings is because it helps hold sauce to the wing, which is a crappy excuse. A lot of the breading on the wings falls off in the fryer. That means it becomes attached to literally everything else they cook in the fryers. The french fries were covered with it. It didn't ruin them or anything, since the fries aren't slathered with sauce, but it's worth noting. We ate all the wings, which were ridiculously expensive, but the lack of crisp from the skin due to the breading, ruined it for us. I certainly would never buy their wings again, which is funny because I said to my wife, "Look, half price wings on Sundays. Sweet!" That was before we got the wings. Looks like they've got other stuff that's hard to screw up, but the wings was the real draw for us. Disappointing. read more

It's only been 29 days since my last review, lol, we had a snafu tonight and Earl shined above and beyond any possible expectations. He even refused an additional tip for making 2 extra trips. I appreciate the team work down by all the staff working tonight. I am going to have to dust off my Kitchen Aid mixer and bring in a representation of my gratitude! These guys ROCK! Making customers happy, all around the clock! I am so thankful for these wonderful folks! Thank you for your quality product delivered with professionalism! Hard to find during daylight hours anywhere else. Fat Shack delivers it directly to your door! Consistently! YaY! read more

Super good burger, fries and drink. Under $10. First time here, but overall menu selection looks great, I'll be back to try other items even though I'm a big burger fan. read more

Ordered online. Said order would be done at 1:00 AM. Got here and it's 1:40 still not ready (they're not busy)...complete douchebags. Fucking horribly run and managed business. Don't waste your time. read more

Tbh the food really isn't that good. The fried pickles are really good but they are over priced in my opinion. Like it's a good trendy little place but it's not the best tasting food. It's bland. read more

I always get a cheeseburger, and the first time I bit into one, I was amazed. It tasted ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. The only flaw about this place is that the delivery took a while, and that the fries were a bit soggy, but I feel like that is kinda unavoidable. read more

This place is amazing. All wrapped up in you choice of regular or large. I recommend anything with the mac n cheese. And buffalo ranch. Service is awesome as well. Make sure you leave room for desert. They will fry anything for $1. Plus get a side of green chili and a side of cheese for your fries. read more

I was looking for something different, (delivery would be great)...I came upon the Fat Shack on Yelp, I've lived in the north area for 4 years and didn't know they existed. I ordered and had it delivered 3 nights ago and liked it. My husband wasn't home and I wanted him to experience the good food... We had this order delivered, as well... Well, it's true, lightning doesn't strike twice...except for the fries and the mozzarella sticks, everything else was burnt. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteaks, the meat was burned, as if it had been left on the flat top for too long. (Non-edible) We also ordered the Deep-fried Oreos, (3 nights ago they were great, color was a golden brown-yummy) Not tonight...the color was a dark caramel brown. This tells me the oil in the fryer is old. (Non-edible] The last item we ordered were the Deep-fried Rice Krispy Treats...same issue here...dirty old oil. (Non-edible) We bagged the entire order up and my husband took it to Fat Shack. Where for our trouble they gave us large sandwiches instead of regulars?? When he returned the sandwiches were not burnt, that was great! But...the Oreos were freshly made in the dirty old oil . (Non-edible) Instead of Deep-fried Rice Krispy Treats, we were given Deep-fried Funnel Cakes. Fried in the dirty old oil. (Non-edible) I called to let them know, I stated to the woman on the phone that I wanted to inform her of the error only, that we didn't want to replace them. Instead of apologizing she had a less than customer-service oriented attitude. At that point I said, I just wanted you to know there had been a mix-up and we didn't get the dessert we ordered. As I was hanging up, I heard her say what my 8 year old granddaughter says when she gets in trouble "Okay-ee". I thought, oh no, this isn't okay. I told her that tonight was the last time we would be ordering from Fat Shack and she replied, "okay". So, here we are folks, if you enjoy your experience with an establishment, let everyone know on YELP. Likewise, if you are unhappy, warn others on YELP. read more

Sooo delicious had orders for take out the bag had all the condiments wrapped in foil to keep them cool and all the food was hot when I Opened up my boxes. Hot wing and French fry fix accomplished ! read more

I absolutely love this place! The food is delicious and fresh. I've had takeout from here about three times. They have the best chicken tenders tossed in buffalo wing sauce I've ever had. Their fries are delicious and crispy and not overly salty. I also tried their burgers for the first time this past weekend. The burger was great but they do include a lot of onions on the burgers. If you're not a fan you'll want to request they go light on the onion or none at all. Their sandwiches look pretty amazing as well. That's next on the menu for me to sample. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Was reached out to by the shop and actually had a realistic explanation of why they weren't open the few times I went. They apologized so we will see what happens. Will give them another shot. read more

First time ordering from here and I'm kind of disappointed. I made an order to pickup and while the food was ready in no time they forgot my fries with my order. Usually this wouldn't be such a big issue but this place isn't the cheapest place to eat so i has a little higher expectations to at least get my order right. Other than that the food was pretty good and they got it done quickly. read more

Best Philly cheese steak sandwiches. Amongst many well dreamant up options. I have yet to select something on the menu that do not like.

First time here and the place is pretty small, maybe 10-15 people can sit inside. The decor is pretty funny and unique. Like some of the previous reviews state, the floors are a little greasy or wet so watch your step but this is a fry joint so it's to be expected especially since they walk the food out to you. Ordered a Fat Chance, mozzarella sticks, and a soda. It took about 30 minutes to come out, but there were a couple orders ahead of me so that wasn't a huge deal. However, I never got my cup for my soda so that was obnoxious since I paid for it. As for the food, it was actually pretty good! Will definitely have to try some of the other sandwiches. read more

Dining area is filthy! Doesn't make me want to come back for sure!! We love your wings but you guys need to step it up in the cleaning department. read more

Terrible customer service and place is just as dirty. Wanted to dine in but decided not to due to lack cleanliness of the dining area and the kitchen was just as bad. Opted for a few fried items since I don't want to know the last time the grill was cleaned. Asked a few questions about some items and was greeted with a blank stare and monotone answers. read more

How do places like this stay open? Walked in and it was hotter inside then it was outside. Food in the floor inside the lobby and in the kitchen area. Food is premaid as they just display it. Cardboard buns. Dry chicken . Burgers are beyond mediocre. It is not hard to keep this place presentable if the owners gave a shit. read more

I have twisted my own arm to go back to this place. The burgers are good but the service is routinely terrible. You expect below par service from this crowd of knuckleheads that work there but it seems, based on four trips there, that these guys go out of their way to be rude and lazy. You can't see the counter from the tables and TWICE now I walked up to the counter to find my food sitting there, cooling. I asked the guy why he didn't say something and he gave me his best FU look. I like the food but it's hard not to hate the store. read more

Service was quick & friendly. I ordered the Fat Chance, buffalo wings, & a fried Twinkie. My order was accurate & DELICIOUS! I highly encourage everyone to try this place out. I'm definitely going to start working out more so that I can eat here more often! read more

I placed an order a couple hours ago and paid through pay pal. I have called 3 times each time they said it has just left. one guy said yes I know exactly where you are at be there in a minute. now each time I'm calling sounds like a whole bunch of kids in the background playing. so on the 3rd time I call I ask to speak to manager. the kid on the phone said he was and now nobody has seen my order. I told him I already paid for it and have the print out he then tells me I need to pay for it again and they will make it. I told him I can show him where I paid for it. then we go back and forth the he tells me don't worry I will comp the whole f#$#! order his exact words. I manage 28 retail center and I cannot believe the complete disregard for customer service!!! read more

I typically order Snarfs when craving sandwiches on Sundays but today I decided to try something different. I was excited by the disgustingly decadent food offered but over all I was quite disappointed. The strawberry shake was okay but small, the two sandwiches were not bad but the fried pickles were absolutely awful. I've never had worse in my life. They looked like hell and I could only force feed myself a couple before giving up. SO I guess you just have to ask yourself is a small shake, 2 mediocre sandwiches and the worse fried pickles ever worth 42$? (It was 35 but the 42 includes the tip) The employees were nice enough so there's that. read more

My first exposure to this restaurant was driving by, seeing the name THE FAT SHACK all in red letters, and thinking to myself "I've gotta go there". I did my research and looked at their menu online, and got both disgusted and hungry at the same exact time. Like this place is a heart attack in sandwich form, and they don't stray away from that at all. But that's all part of the appeal. I ended up getting myself just their Fat Doobie. Oh my god this thing was so solid and heavy and delicious. I could only manage to eat half of it before deciding that my arteries couldn't handle any more. Like, how can you go wrong with french fries and chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks in a sandwich? Other than it sorta turning into a soggy mess eventually, it tasted exactly how I imagined it to be. It's cheap, the employees are very chill, and it's open pretty late. That's a combo that you can't really go wrong with. So do yourself a favor, tell your diet to bugger off for awhile, and treat yourself to some Fat Shack. You won't be doing your body any favors, but your taste buds will be pretty satisfied. read more

Fat Shack needs to remove delivery service from there options. Placed an order at 1:30 and at 3:00am I am told it is canceled due to not having a delivery driver. Then told that the Delivery Driver was sent home at 2:00am. To be this out of sink on staffing is crazy to me. For the record, I dislike Yelp. I feel people need to express themselves to a manager instead of complaining on the Internet because a lot of people work very hard to make a resturant operate. Now, I did call a manager and express my discomfort, but for the first time I feel that guest/customers need to know about how poor this service was and the complete incompetence of managing staffing levels. There problems became my problems and that should never happen. This same problem also happened to a friend of mine recently. Pure disappointment. Also, the fat shack that representative that might respond to me, I don't want anything from you. I just want another business to deliver late night to replace you. read more

Let's talk about awful service and communication. Ordered our dinner through Uber Eats from here. Menu said our choices came with fries. For $40 it should. Get our dinner and there's just burgers and drinks. Call the restaurant and they insist it doesn't come with fries. We literally read the description to him where it says "with a side of fries" (see photo) and he still refuses to make any sort of take care of your customer offer. After the use of some inappropriate and very unprofessional language we're hung up on. If you're going to offer services through another company maybe you should make sure your menu is right. Or honor the incorrect one that is being offered. Won't be eating here again. read more

Fat Shack - Sandwiches Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Do yourself and come to this place on an empty stomach and then get something non-traditional from their menu (I.e. Skip the standard burger/fries/hot wings and get something off their sandwich selection). The sandwich combinations are pretty wild, but they are really good. I never thought a 9" sandwich that had a mixture of jalapeño poppers, chicken tenders, French fries, shredded beef, and honey-jalapeño mustard sauce would taste so crazy awesome. My kids ordered some traditional stuff (burger, mac & cheese) and they said their meals were good too. I believe this place - not sure if it was this franchise in particular - was featured on the Travel Channel, and I can see why. It's a small venue and seating is limited, so you may want to plan on take out, but if your group is small you may be able to squeeze into their limited seating. Definitely NOT a place to go if you're dieting or eating Paleo, but man, their food is good! read more

The service is so bad there. I called on a busy night and received horrible customer service that I just hung up because I didn't want to deal with the attitude anymore. I understand that I called on a busy night and I knew the food was going to be awhile. But the man over the phone was so rude. He first questioned me if I want to basically order from there and not in a nice tone. Then I heard him huff and puff. So he started To get my information, while I have a soft voice so instead of saying, "Sorry I can understand you," all I got was a, "WHAT!!" It was very rude and understand your busy but that is what happens when you work at a very unique but good resturant. I will still eat at the restaurant just not the Thornton location. read more

We ordered this today, based on the fact that they deliver. I am struggling between 3 and 4 stars, the food was pretty good, in the moment, but we all felt sick the next day from the amount of fried food! The deep fried oreos are awesome, and the fried rice crispy treats were really good too! My sandwich was a little bit dry, but overall, pretty good! I might eat here again, but it will take a while for me to work up to it again. read more

Ordered 4 lunch combos for delivery and the total came out to be $35, not including tip. The part that bummed me was I didn't quite get what I asked for, one of the 4 burgers we requested Mac and cheese on it but didn't get. Also believe the special sauce was missing. For our drinks we were charged an additional dollar each although I thought they were included with the combo. We really didn't want drinks either. 3* Food was good, burgers weren't dry with decent portions of meat. Soggy fries. 3.5* delivery service, the person over the phone was friendly and informative, probably had a mixup here though. delivery speed was fast. in the end paying more than we expected to and didn't get what we wanted. read more
