The service was great. The tenders didn't take too long and they seemed like they were constantly taking orders. The price, for the amount you get, was GREAT! The tenders themselves, however, was nothing fantastic at all. They tasted almost identical to your typical fast food mom-and-pop restaurant that hosts a Vienna sausage neon light sign. The breading was well through out the tenders and it didn't have much of a taste. The quantity was quite good nonetheless and the French fries were also in a good amount. The fries themselves, however, weren't above par. I'd say they were right on par and taste just like the ones you get from Five Guys. If you're not into tenders I'd definitely try the rest of the menu; which looks like they have a lot to choose from. read more

Decided to stop by Fatso's Last Stand for dinner after hearing many raves about their charbroiled burger. Ordered the Everyday Special: Double Fatso's with cheese, hand-cut fries, and soda along with a 1/4 lb jumbo fried shrimp. The burger itself was delicious, packed with smokey, char-grilled flavor, and slathered in Fatso's sauce. As for the jumbo shrimp, the batter was thick, giving a crispy texture. Fatso's Last Stand could have received five stars. However, the cashier who took the order could have been more polite. While trying to tap my card to pay, the cashier snatched the card out of my hand to insert the card into the card reader. It would have been greatly appreciated if she told me to use the card reader instead. Overall, Fatso's Last Stand was clean and the dining area is spacious with seating available for dine-in. I would order from Fatso's Last Stand but at a different location. read more

Fatsos is exactly as advertised and more. A wide variety of well done Chicago street food; burgers, dogs, polish, Italian beef, etc. Not to mention their "boozy milkshakes" which I recommend. Full disclosure, I'm a regular. The manager Chris runs a tight ship and the employees are very friendly. Make sure to queue from the right. Leave a tip and they will ring the gong in recognition. I'm still laughing at a previous review where someone complained that a burger branded "Ooey Goey" was "too messy" for them. Darling, it's in the name. read more

May not be the healthiest choice, but sometimes I just crave a good greasy burger and fries! Fatso's is that place for you. Ive ordered the hot dog and burger (separate occasions!) And both were pretty good and satisfied my greasy fast food craving! The fries were tasty and extra crispy! Everything here that I've ordered has not been disappointing. Great prices with a good portion. Plus side is that they have parking for those who want to drive over to pick up their order ! read more

Super Disappointed, with Fatso's... I try to have compassion for the food industry during covid. However, the outrageous prices for this food should be considered extortion! STAFF- Don't do anything beyond take orders, which is totally fine. Nothing really stood out, not rude but not overly friendly. CLEANLINESS- Good, Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. FOOD-Bland, my burger was overly priced for a frozen patty that this establishment purchases from the Restaurant Depot. Burger was not fresh, no seasoning, and the buns were just way too thick. The fries were the only thing I enjoyed. PRICE-A JOKE! I ordered the following; 1 burger with cheddar cheese, 1 plant based burger, 1 fries, & two small fountain drinks, that came out to $29.97!!! I asked the cashier twice, if I misheard him... sadly, this was the reality of an over-priced & arrogant restuarant. OVERALL SUMMARY- I am just scratching my head, at what they base their prices & quality of food on... Food industry is still suffering, this establishment should take their food & customer feedback more seriously. Otherwise, just shut it down, and allow a more passionate Foodie entrepreneur to open up a restuarant here. Shame on you Fatso! Don't forget to tip! read more

Meal was overall disgusting and a waste of money. I ordered the ooey gooey cheese burger and the one I received was burnt, messy, and gross... pretty much inedible. The Mac n cheese is also disgusting the cheese to noodle ratio was overwhelmingly thick of room temp cheese. I also ordered the cheese tots expecting cheese sauce but it was really like fried tater tot hush puppies with a little bit of grated cheddar cheese... wasn't what I was expecting. Don't think I'd order from here again read more

Been here a couple times, easy location off Clybourn and food is decent. But that's about it. Menu is overpriced and the fact that every order comes standard with an insane amount of fries (cannot be ordered a la carte) is annoying. Throw in a 4% fee for credit cards, generic soda and an atrocious parking situation and I can't recommend this place. read more

This was the first time that we walked into Fatso's... and I am so happy that we did! The Fatso burgers were amazing!!! OMG... I haven't had a burger like this ever!!! The only thing I had an issue with was the cheese that they use for their cheese fries... the cup we got it in was more oily cheese than cheese sauce. Just know that I don't need the cheese for their amazing fries! LOL!! Cannot wait to take the daughter here to see her smash a burger... she is going to go nuts! read more

The ooey gooey is amazing. However, when they advertise that the fries are 1lb, they should be close. I go back and ask the cashier 'is this really a lb of fries?' To which the cashier responds 'whatever fits in the bag is a pound. She may have been right but the bag was only half full. And sure enough, I weighed them on a postal scale. 7.9 oz. Sure, Covids is making us lean up but then you should charge half price for half a lb of fries. Also, beware if you get a credit for a mistake made on a past order you have to redeem within a week. If I could stand to eat fatso's twice in a week I would be dead by now. But the ooey gooey is solid. read more

Fatso's Last Stand has the best kale smoothie in Chicago! Haha JK those suck, and Fatso's has good food. And some is even great. Great milkshakes. Great fries. Great mac & cheese. If you eat at Fatso's and don't get one of these three items, it's time to take a hard look at your life and do some soul-searching. The Italian sausage & fries combo for $6.00 is also great. I'm not just throwing that word around. Taste, texture, bread, giardiniera, red peppers. I paused a few times so it would last longer. Second visit was a good idea because I thought it was over-priced on my first visit--but I was just being a pig. This trip was under $20, and I have some left over for a snack tomorrow. Shakes are as good as Oberweis. Worth the brief agony of brain freeze. The mac & cheese has made it to my "always order" list. Very cheesy, not watery, spiral pasta was al dente, and the toasted breadcrumbs were seasoned well. I'll need to get them again to analyze the crumbs... I ate that layer pretty quickly. Fries are pretty close to Red Hot Ranch fries. They have about a dozen cases of potatoes in a locker. Alcohol is served in specialty drinks but I've not tried them. I had the Ooey Gooey cheeseburger last time and that was good. Fatso Sauce seems to be 1000 island dressing. aka Russian dressing. Parking is fine. Their tiny lot is just one of many spots. This site used to be a dual- branded Dunkin D and Baskin-Robbins. Service has been stellar both visits. I am slipping into a food coma now. Portion control isn't a law -- nobody tells me how to live!

After two lunch attempts here - I'm just not a fan. Overall, food quality (relative to other burger, hot dog, beef stands) is just not that great and the prices are steep for what you get. Their fries are the best part of the meal I've had both times but way too big of a portion and price is reflective of this. Chicken sandwich I had today was just not good. Way too much bread relative to a very small and thin piece of chicken breast. Previously had the beef sandwich which was just okay - didn't have a lot of the good flavors you would expect from a classic Chicago Italian Beef. What really disturbed me today is that they advertise one price up on the board - and after you pay - they slip in an extra charge for paying with credit card with no warning. As if spending over $16 for a subpar chicken sandwich and fries wasn't bad enough. :-( read more

I was driving by- it was lunch time, and bang, zoom I went in. Service was fast and made to order. I had a char dog and fries. The Dog with everything was what you come to expect from good hot dog places in Chicago, this place has that going for it. Plus fresh cut fries, cooked while the dog is charred up. Perfect. The have parking, good prices, and to drink. Cheerwine. This is a new location with parking, great people working there, and everything you'd expect from a place like this and more- Plenty of nice seats to sit and eat your grub too. read more

I do not understand this restaurant. The music is so load that the person taking my order and I both kept saying, what did you say" during the entire transaction. When I asked if they thought it was loud, she said, yes very. The fries were soggy, and not good at all. The char dogs are okay, but way more onions than need be. read more

What a great spot! We came here at the recommendation of a friend who loves this place. Apparently, this is a new location for Fatso's Last Stand and this location used to be a gas station. We ordered right away at the counter, found a seat, and waiting for our food. We both ordered burgers and some shrimp, and the lady at the register was very friendly! There wasn't a ton of seating, but we were able to find a seat without a problem. When our order was called, we picked it up at the counter. The fries were good, and fresh. The burgers were really good! I thought I read that the burger bun was supposed to be toasted, but it didn't seem that mine had been toasted at all. I really enjoyed the sauce on the burger. The burger, fries, and shrimp were very tasty and we enjoyed our meal. I would definitely consider coming to Fatso's Last Stand again if I was in Chicago. It's the kind of food that tastes even better after a couple beers. read more

Omg! Their shakes were soooo delicious! Their burger was messy but fantastic! I took the Chicago dog to-go, ate it the next day in Arizona and it was sooo good. We are happy we tried this place. My bf ordered the Italian beef sandwich dipped and enjoyed it which he brought back to Arizona as well. He ordered the ooey gooey burger but thought it was "too much" for him but he did eat most of it. Definitely worth a try. read more

Decent food, but far overpriced for what it's worth. You can probably find a much better deal somewhere else for a dry, overcooked cheeseburger and 10 pounds of fries. Maybe the $7 shake will appeal to you. read more

Pound of fries?!?! Burgers were good, but I stood at the counter for at least 5 minutes before anyone said 1 word to me, asking me to wait another 6 minutes for my order. read more

Perfectly serviceable interior. Overhead fans were a bit annoying, maybe on too fast. PLEASE put up a sign indicating how to enter the ordering line! No-frills dining area. We figured we'd start with basics; Char-Dogs, Fries, and Fried Shrimp. Dogs were okay. I'd like more char, less mustard, and only 2-3 sport peppers per dog. My bun collapsed from the wetness of mustard, relish, tons of onion and half a dozen sport peppers. Now that I know what their prep is, I'll be sure to ask for some modifications. Fries were fries, pretty yummy. FIVE STARS on the fried shrimp! Half a pound, fried PERFECTLY. Shrimp were juicy, hot and not overcooked. The shrimp sauce was pretty good, too. They're better than Red Hot Ranch fried shrimp, at least on this visit! Next visit will move on to burgers and Polish. read more

Loved this place! it is a no-thrills, industrial style building with a few tables, an opportunity to have alcoholic milkshakes, and some really bad ass food. do me a favor, don't try to alter any of the creations. Have them as they are intended. You will not be sorry. I don't expect to find any low-calorie options here. Just bring an empty stomach, $15-$20, and an appreciation for the almighty chicago dog. their burgers are also top-notch for the price point. read more

Fatso’s Last Stand - Single fatso burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I can't give a review of the food because they never took my order. I walked in and the guys behind the counter were busy making food. I was the only person waiting. About 10 minutes passes and someone else walks in and they ask him what he wants like I am invisible. Will never go back there. Plenty of places to spend my money. read more

Horrible Customer Service. Black Lives Matter. Apparently not at Fatso's. 2 of us order. The cashier may have been new and needed assistance. ANOTHER associate came to help her. Only have the order was registered. Brought this to the the associates attention. Neither associate we're accountable and told us we "need" to just get back in line and order again. All of the FATSO's associates felt their service was satisfactory and acceptable. I felt very uncomfortable, rejected, and I was even instructed to move out of the way to make room for other customers. I would recommend an immediate boycott of this location until they realize we all should be treated equally. read more

Not the greatest burger in Chicago and took a bit of time. Got a cheeseburger and fries for about 15ish. Took about 8-12 mins for the food. Nice place and decor inside. Juicy burger but not worth read more

Single fatso with cheese is one of the best burgers im the city! Yum. Got a side of cheese with the potato skin fries that I was not a fan of. Prefer the nacho style. Otherwise they have parking and a bathroom. Great little lunch spot. read more

I was hesitant to go in basis the name but really wanted a hot dog/was nearby. I'm really happy I went here. Italian beef was excellent and char dog was on point. We also tried chili dog, which according to my friend, had best chili and tasted home made with big chunks of meat. Customer service was great, although they were slammed so took a little bit longer than expected. I hope this place stays in business. Wanted to take half a star away because way too much fries with everything and it was a little greasy.... but I guess that is what you get when you go to a place with fatso in the name read more

I tried the double fatso w/ cheese and additional egg with bacon on it as well as the char dog w/ fries. Overall I found everything fairly underwhelming. The burger itself was okay, not the best I've ever had nor the worst. Middle of the road. Same with the hot dog. The fries were not good at all and tasted old and oily. I was hoping for better flavors but overall was pretty plain. Still searching for the perfect burger. read more

Came here for the first time today and am glad I did. I had heard great things from burger people in Chicago and knew I wanted to try. I ordered a single fatso with fries. Next time I would probably get a double, because I felt like it could have used a little more meat, but I thought it was a solid burger. I would like the bun to be a little softer, but if you want a no frills, quality burger, this is your spot. Now the fries, these were heavenly. Some of the best fries I've had in awhile. Cooked perfectly, a nice crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. A must get. After coming here to review, I found out I didn't go to the original, and that a lot of people think it's better. Next time I'll give that one a go but I don't think you'll be disappointed with this location. read more

Not nearly as good as the original on Chicago ave. Burger was over cooked and the bun was kind of stale, and the fries were warm and not hot. It was also pricier than expected - $14 for a cheese burger fries and drink. But the space is really nice inside and it's in a very convenient location. Will try it again and see if food gets better. read more

Nothing about the beef got me going. Beef was a little chewy. They don't do a baptism. Hot peppers were just not hot. Kind of felt like it was a half ass effort. And if you aren't going to handle the beefs with love and care, then I don't think you should be in the beef game imo read more

A piece of advice....get the panko fried shrimp!!!! They are big, perfectly cooked, deliciously crisp and the choice of cocktail sauces are yum too! The homemade cheese tots were definitely something to share...rich, cheesy creamy potatoes inside and crispness on the outside. read more

Fatso's new location is great! plenty of seating and nice decor. I got a double dog and the bun was stuffed to the max, needless to say, towards the end of my hot dog, things fell apart (but still delicious!) I don't think i've tried anything else here other than the hot dogs. It's definitely a solid dog and should be on your list of must try hot dogs in Chicago! They do have a small, small, very small parking lot. Honestly, i wouldn't even bother trying to squeeze in, there is plenty of parking on Clybourn. read more

This spot it really good, recommend to anyone in the city as it has good burgers, shakes, shrimp and fries! Whenever I come it honestly never disappoints, 5 starts for me! read more

Fatso’s Last Stand - A Single Fatso with Cheese, Oreo milkshake and fries, really good - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered from this location a few months ago and forgot to write a review. The cheeseburgers and fries were decent but forgettable. My review is more about the overall experience than the food itself. I won't be back because the customer service is pathetic, and that's the main reason for the low rating. Their online ordering system let me order a menu item they either could not make or did not feel like serving. They still charged me full price and ignored multiple requests for a partial refund. Luckily, I got the refund from my credit card company after filing a complaint. I should have pulled my tip as well. It doesn't matter if it's $5 or $100-charging people for products or services they didn't receive or you can't provide and ignoring requests for a fair refund is a garbage business tactic. read more

We ordered on Grubhub for pick up; when we arrived they said they accidentally gave our order to another customer--I'm thinking ok no biggie, we can wait 15 minutes. They gave us free sodas for the wait which was nice, but there was no carbonation in my partners Pepsi or my root beer, making it taste like pure syrup. We started to munch on the fries as soon as we got in the car and they were not hot nor tasted fresh and very little if any seasoning. The burger bun was dry on my burger and even though the burger was requested to be "juicy and pink" via Grubhub it too, was dry. We will be only going back to the original location. read more

One of the best beef dogs I've had! Fresh cut fries with cheese sauce was good and the fatso sauce was a must have. My friend had the boozy milkshake (banana Creme pie) and she drank all of it! The vodka combination was tasty with the bananas and Creme. Good customer service as well and clean facility including the bathroom. read more

Fatso’s Last Stand - Double Char Cheddar Dog - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I take everyone here! One of the best and cheaper options for a classic Chicago hot dog. Love the milkshakes as well!

Was hopeful for this location because the original on Chicago. We were there at 8, one other group was already in the place. Food took a bit, which to me is fine because I'm presuming that it's being cooked fresh to order. The fries were served room temperature, dry and almost cold. There was also a strange aftertaste. My friend had maybe three bites of the burger and it was already cold. My maxwell was fine. I'll probably just stick to the original location read more

Best tip: Order Carry Out. Fries are good. Can't wait to try the tots! Burgers are the way to go but then again, I haven't tried the hot dogs, polish or shrimp. It's only been like a month or so since it's been open so give it a shot. I'll post another review shortly. It's a good location if you live in the area. The parking lot is terrible - probably only fits like 6 cars so take a bike, walk or park along Clybourn or neighboring streets. Otherwise... we'll see. read more
