We came here mid evening on the weekend. There was already a few people waiting for their orders but it wasn't crowded at all. We ordered two of the regular fat burgers with all of the toppings and sauces to get the full experience. We also ordered some skinny fries and onion rings. Service was friendly. It did take a little longer than I expected for our order to come out. I would say about 15-20 minutes at least. The restaurant was clean. We brought it home immediately, and I found each of food items to be just barely warm. For the burger, the different toppings were nice to have, but nothing super unique. The bun was probably the most disappointing part was the bun. The bun wasn't really soft, and definitely not warmed up. It would have been nice if the bread was toasted at the very least. The bun itself was also a little dry. The skinny fries had potential to be better. They were mostly soggy and unfortunately not salted enough. The onion rings were not crispy despite the batter appearing to be that way in many pictures. I can't really see myself coming back here. read more

Smallish business/restaurant in the shopping center where Raley's, Subway, Banfiejd Vet, and other businesses are located; corner of Franklin and Elk Grove Blvds. This place specializes in burgers but also may be jog on buffalo wings. I ordered a burger with onions cheddar, pickles/rekush, mayo, mustard, and an order of skinny fries and a soda (Pepsi products). With the meal deal and tip, cost was about $20. Good burger, huge, hot, flavored like the kind you make at home in a fry pan, eg pepper, salt and possibly garlic powder. Nice huge dense bun, too. Fries were good, also hot. It's a big deal when you eat out and are served hot food. Great meal, huge portion and truly reminded me of a home cooked burger. Friendly professional customer service, quick to order and receive a great meal. Offered me ranch, thousand island dressing for fries, no extra cost. They have cardio, salt and pepper, mints, hand wipes, nice touch along with mints. Two big screen TV's, no blaring way to loud music. I'll try it again in the future. Looks like they have milkshakes including vegan flavors, chicken sandwich, ground turkey burger. read more

Burger is cooked perfectly and onion rings are crispy. Server took my order, cooked my food and brought me two tubs of ranch (when i asked) and asked me if I needed anything else. Can't go wrong with good service. It's a delicious meal but also a rather expensive one. For $22 for a 1/2 lb burger, onion rings, and a soda, it feels rather steep for the amount of food you get compared to Chili's... regardless, they serve good burgers! read more

First time here. I've driven by countless times. Plenty of parking. Staff were friendly. It wasn't super busy. I tried the Impossible burger. It was ok. I like the lettuce & everything in the burger but it wasn't anything I'd want again. Everyone in my party said the same. That the burgers were just ok. Probably won't be back. Fries were just ok as well. I wouldn't order it again. Ordered the following: Fatburger Meal w/ Western Bacon BBQ Burger Skinny Fries XXL Fatburger w/ Grilled Onions Impossible Burger At read more

Ok. When the hubs found out that a Fat Burger opened up in Elk Grove, he was set on driving the extra miles to try it out. Having grew up in LA, he is no stranger to the legendary Fat Burger. The first Fat Burger hamburger stand started in 1947 in LA. Did the Elk Grove location live up to the Fat Burger iconic burgers, chili fries, and onion rings?!? Yes, they did! We ordered two original burgers (one with cheese) with all the regular fixings, chili fries, onion rings, and fountain drinks. The burgers were 1/3 pound patties, the patties were seasoned well. Great flavors, juicy patty. But they could be more generous with the fixings. A bit more lettuce wouldn't hurt. The onion rings had a crisp batter. Yum. The chili was tasty, good flavor. Thick consistency. It's beanless. Everything was served hot. For fountain drink choices, they offer 3 iced tea flavors made with cane sugar. That scored big points with me since I can't have HFCS. They are located in a strip mall. It's counter service. The place like most eateries now have a smaller dining rooms than prior builds. May not be ideal for large group dining. The aisle leading to the restrooms and where they keep the foundation drinks and condiments is narrow. Only one person at a time can pass. And regarding pricing, it's comparable to fast food ( FF), but it ain't fast food. They actually take the time to cook the food when ordered. So don't expect FF speed. Don't get me wrong, they aren't sloooow but not drive thru fast. read more

My first time there because I was craving a burger and couldn't decide where to go so decided to give them a try. They have quite a variety of burgers and wings. I had the original burger with bacon in it. Definitely hit the spot! read more

First time coming here, inside was pretty empty on a weekday evening. They had a nice seating area though and everything seemed pretty clean. We got burgers as takeout and they were made pretty quickly. Got home though (live 5 min away) and the burger-while it had a good amount of meat-was pretty dry/slightly overcooked. Regretted not getting more condiments to go. The sweet potato fries were pretty basic, lightly seasoned and slightly soft-not really crispy. Prices were average, around $9+ for a burger, $4-5 for fries. It's convenient having a burger place nearby, but I'd probably skip this one next time unless I was desperate for a burger craving. read more

Me and my wife went to fatburger for dinner. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and polite. My wife ordered the turkey burger with fat fries and a soda. She loved her burger and said the burger was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The taste of the burger was phenomenal. I ordered original burger with onion rings and soda. The burger was seasoned well, cooked to perfection and the taste was great. The onion rings were delicious and very filling. The onion rings were cooked to perfection and in my eyes were like a great drive inn onion rings. We ended the meal with chocolate chip cookie and those were simply delicious . The ambiance is customer friendly and very lively. A great place to get a good burger. read more

This place is awesome! It's clean, you're greeted warmly and energetically. Donald provided some killer customer service! That alone would've brought me back because you can tell he legitimately enjoys his job. The food is awesome! The burgers were juicy and we'll seasoned. The chili cheese fries were steaming hot and delicious! The milkshakes are thick and flavorful, and the wings were plump and tender. I will definitely be back! It was so good! read more

First time here. Decided to stop and grab a bite to eat while heading to Nevada. We had our dogs with us so I ran in and placed my order, told the clerk that my husband was going to come in and order his next because we had our dogs with us, gave him our names so that he can also give my husband my order. He was totally understanding and accommodating. Once we got our food, we ate in the car and OMG! 5 star taste! The burgers were juicy and seasoned to perfection. The fries, we got both skinny and steak as well as onion rings and everything was hot and fresh. Cooked to order. Very satisfied travelers! read more

Food is A+++ best burgers in town but don't understand how on a Friday night, I drive 20miles to get a burger and they are closed. Everything says open til 9:30 including company website but I pull in at 8:35 and it's closed. Every light off like it was never even opened. Why would any restaurant not have accurate hours of operation published?? Very disappointed read more

food was on point but, they need ceiling fans or blowers or floor fans. it was almost the same temperature inside as it was outside. customer service was stellar. But sweating and eating was uncomfortable We had to take the rest of our food to go. read more

Came here with some friends for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The guy who took our order was super friendly and funny and gave us the rundown of their burgers. I was surprised they have dairy free options! Both in the form of daiya brand cheese, and vegan milkshakes. The only downside was the regular milkshake was $5.99 while the dairy free milkshake was $10.99!!! FFS. Us dairy free/lactose intolerant people already can't enjoy dairy, but to up-charge so much for a vegan milkshake, sucks. Food came promptly and was flavorful. The patties were a bit greasy but it's expected with a 1/3lb - 1lb patty. The fat fries were absolutely amazing and full of soft potato insides. The onion rings were crispy but too oily for my liking. Our friends got strawberry milkshakes and said they were so good. Made me wish the vegan one wasn't nearly double the price so I could enjoy one too. The restaurant was roomy with ample seating and had 2 tvs playing sports. Regardless, I would come back when I'm craving a thick burger. read more

Burger was ok, but nothing to shout about. I do think the price is slightly on the high side for burger, some options without cheese. Service time was ok. Place was slightly small, but very clean read more

My first time here and I had most amazing experience! Definitely delicious burger and milk shake. Fast and friendly service ! Very very good! I was working in the area and am happy to have chosen this great spot. read more

Fantastic experience with the food and service! For someone who is vegan, this is a good to spot, as I highly recommend the Impossible Burger with vegan cheese, no mayo, sweet potato fries, and the Craig's vegan milkshakes! Will definitely be going back! read more

Let me start off by saying the lady at the front was super nice and sweet so the service was great and the place was clean as well... We got 2 Western Burgers, a Double, Onion Rings, and Sweet Potatoes Fries. Hands down the worst food I've ever had smh. Takes 10 minutes to get back to work and all 3 Burgers where cold, the Onion Rings and Sweet Potatoes fries had to be laying out because they are colder than the Burgers. All the veggies in the burgers also looked wilted and old, I hate leaving bad reviews but this one deserved it sorry do better next time read more

The food is so delicious we had to go two weekends in a row. A huge plus is the incredible service the staff gave us and everyone who walked in. They are so personable and even remembered our order. The gentleman who helped us both times was incredible. Truly a fantastic employee. Totally worth the drive to Elk Grove. Will be back! read more

So happy this place is open. Burgers can get really big. XXL will cover all your meals for the day. So worth it as well. Everything is fresh made to order and it tastes solid. Skinny or Fat fries. Milkshakes. Homemade pinion rings. New MGT. super friendly. This place will become a habit and it will stop me going from going to Habit. (Place is horrible now). read more

Wow, you never know when this place is actually open. Too bad... burgers are pretty good.

Look who's back! I happened to walk by Fatburger this afternoon and was invited inside. I was able to sample some of the food before their official Grand Opening. (The interior was still unfinished and training was in process). I'll be honest, I was a huge critic of this place when it first opened. Customer service was subpar, constant food shortages, and long wait times during its initial run. When it initially closed, I wasn't surprised. However, today I had a great conversation with AJ who is part of the new leadership here and he assured me that things are going to be different this time around. His positive outlook and passion for customer service has me excited to welcome back Fatburger to Elk Grove. If all goes as AJ has described, then the future should be bright for this Fatburger location. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was good and service was excellent. I wish my burger had more flavor but the meal was decent.

Stopped by the newly reopened Fatburger last Sunday. We were promptly and pleasantly greeted upon our arrival. Menu selections for burgers were same as previous Fatburger, which is great because I loved this place. Our food came out quickly. My shake arrived first, as expected, followed by our burgers and fries. Everything was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Just stopped by today June 29th 2024 after I heard they reopened under new management. I immediately noticed friendlier staff and was greeting as soon as I stepped in the door. One concern I had was what the prices were going to be like in this economy. I was very surprised the price was much better than Five Guys and in my honest opinion it's much better burger. One complaint most people had under previous management was how long it took to get your food. I will say today was WAAAAY better. Food took less than 10 minutes and was hot and fresh!!! I'll definitely be back. Donald was amazing and had such great energy and was very attentive. read more

This was one of the most disappointing meals of my life. I don't know if they had a bad day since the other reviews are generally good, but our food was terrible. The buns were cold like they were taken out of the fridge and barely toasted. There was very little flavor in our burgers, especially in my husband's Western burger. My son's kid's meal had what looked like a Safeway hotdog bun cut in half and a piece of way overcooked dry meat. Not worth the price. Also in the middle of our meal some employee in the back screamed very loudly and angrily twice. Very strange. The cashier and man who brought out our order were nice and they gave a lot of fries. Those are the only good things I can say about this place. read more

This is service!!!!! This place is delicious and vegan friendly. I cannot express enough how tasty and enjoyable this place is. The ambiance is wonderful and the staff is so friendly.

Hold on to this employee, she makes this place top tier. read more

Great burger. As Marcellus "pulp fiction" would say "That was a tasty burger" ordered online it was accuaccurate and ready within 15 min. All burgers were properly labeled. I little pricey but worth it. read more

Great. I pre-order and pick up once a week. I'm happy to have a fatburger near me- we were originally going from south sac to Lincoln before. Love their banana shake, historically. The worst part would have to be the parking lot (not accommodating/small) but that's not on them. Just an observation. read more

I had XXL Burger & fat fries. Burger is big, juicy & seasoned well. We will definitely be back.

The food wasn't bad, just overpriced in my opinion. I appreciate that they carry the Impossible Burger on the menu.

The difference in service and speed of order fulfillment is night and day compared to when this box first opened under different ownership and management. This is my second time here already. They have my support now and hopefully yours too. read more

Had to run to Yelp to tell yall about the experience I just had at Fat burger. We arrived just before 8:30 and the cashier immediately starting yelling about how we needed to hurry up and place or order because they turn off the grill at 8:30. Of course I had to let him know that this is no way to treat a customer and that he is supposed to be nice (according to the yelp review I read earlier in the day). Per the store signage, they close at 9pm so Im still not sure what he's helping about. I ordered the food, paid for it, told him to toss the receipt. Do you know this joker had the nerve to look at the receipt and shout "bad tip!" Now to his credit, he comped our drinks. And that was nice so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt plus I really thought I was tripping so I let him make it. But then the next customer orders and there was no mistaking it this time. I heard it loud and clear "Bad Tip!" I politely took my food and left; satisfied, I might add, cuz I knew I was going to hop right on yelp and tell all of Elk Grove just how much Fat Burger appreciates you paying $30 for a 2 burgers and two fries. 3 stars cuz the burger was good. But I won't be back and I'll be surprised if they make it a year with that type of service. And here's a 2 tips: patrons are not required to leave a tip (even if you do comp their drinks) and no one wants to be yelled at while in your establishment. read more

Came in on a Sunday night for some dinner. The place had a nice vibe and was reminiscent of a retro burger joint. Although, it did seem a little untidy as there was janitorial supplies laying around in the dining room. Service and staff were top tier. I got the thousand island burger with bacon and sweet potato fries on the side. The burger was literally amazing, 10/10. The thousand island wasn't overpowering and the patty was well seasoned. The sweet potato fries were okay, I was a little underwhelmed. Overall, I'd definitely come back for another bite. read more

I've been to Fatburger and Lake Tahoe many times it's delicious and the service is really good

First order (pick up) was correct and good. Delivery was a disaster. Driver didn't follow instructions (in the delivery section of the order AND more detailed ones I messaged him. Also sent map when I saw he STILL wasn't following instructions after getting into complex). Then he messaged back "ok got it". He didn't because he was still sitting in the wrong place and STILL hadn't read instructions because he asked for building number. He was where gps misdirected him to (like my instructions said it would). Then I sent map. Still nothing. Called and directed him. He still couldn't find apartment so I had to meet him since he had been in complex for 20 minutes. Everything was cold. They were out of skinny fries so gave fat ones. No dipping sauce given with chicken strips (which were greasy and undercooked and rubbery). Western bacon bbq burger had no bacon. They refunded everything but the delivery fee which was good but I should have had that refunded too since there were major delivery issues. If they want to then recoup that from Uber Eats that's between them. He said he hopes that this experience won't stop us from patronizing them. Maybe if he hadn't condescendingly asked if I was sure that there was no bacon (and asked for pics) and asked if I was sure no dipping sauce was given and then had given me a full refund we would give them another try but because of all that plus the delivery and food issues no sir we will not be ordering from you ever again. read more
