    Outside

    This place is a must try! The love and care put into each burger is phenomenal. Definitely a head above the rest when it comes to burgers! The fries and chips - freshly sliced. The burgers - prime. The buns - homemade. And the owner's love for what he's doing - infectious. Prices can't be beat. Easy to get to - it's a food truck right off Sunrise on 5th Ave in Bay Shore. They have a picnic table if you want to eat there, but I got mine to go. Highly suggest the Fatty Stack - All the Way. Each bite was better than the last.

    The Classic
    Elias L.

    It was a hot Summer day and I was hankering for a burger. I didn't want to settle for the average one so I got to looking for something special which landed me here at Fatty-T's. Operating out of a trailer named after his departed dog Tyson, the sole owner Vinny is pumping out fresh made burgers with in-house potato brioche rolls, a special prime beef blend along with sides of crispy hand-cut fries and chips cooked in beef tallow. I opted for the classic combo to get a feel for the burgers here and dang was it good. The beef blend itself is quite flavorful and more complex than your standard one. The toppings also add so much to this. It was oniony, zingy, a little sweet, and a little salty. Also the buns! They are so soft and topped with sesame seeds how they should be. Something that struck me was how the burgers come with fries and chips. I thought maybe he meant pickle chips but no, housemade potato chips. They were stellar. The fries were crisp and seasoned very well while the chips had a glasslike crisp with the same seasoning. I had to throw some on my burger which bumped it up yet another notch. To wrap things up can we talk about the price? A $10 burger and fry combo is hard to come by these days especially one of this quality. I'd say this is the best burger and fry combo you can get around here for this price point.

    How cute is this little truck?

    As those who follow me know im not doing so hot. Still very ill but able to eat once a week or so. So today i made the trip to Fatty T's. What a great place. They were BUSY. Good for them. Vinnie was beyond nice and there was a wait so i went to the store and came back. I got the basic burger no cheese no onion and FF/Chips and water. $11. How can you beat that? You need to put out a tip jar Vin!!! I divided it up into 3 portions and will eat it a little at a time. It was so good. I have to go slow and take my time but so worth it. Drove 35 mins to get this great stuff. Best of luck to you guys. Thanks for making my week a lot better. YOU ROCK

    Not a big menu, but big things come in little packages

    Best burger I've had in a long time. And don't let me stop there. Let me tell you about the fries and chips. The most flavorful crunchy bites of potatoes around. . The chips are hand cut right in front of you and put right into the fryer all made while you wait. And while you're waiting, you get to look at that big beautiful smiling pup that the burger shack is named after . Big things come out of that small truck and they are fantastic.

    5 + + + Super super…read moreexcellent! The best brisket on Long Island! We recently used Crossroads Cue to cater a small event. We highly recommend them and will use them again. Also, we will probably stalk the food truck at local events and around town! Sooo good! The guys were amazing to deal with and are clearly experienced professionals! We had a full tray of brisket which was absolutely perfect perfect perfect! I dont know if they used a prime brisket but it sure tasted like an expensive prime brisket perfectly slow cooked into tender flavorful perfection! Not easy! Beautiful bark and smoke ring! The points were juicy tender and pulled apart with just your fingers. The flats were also finger pulling tender and NOT dry! Not fatty! Everything rendered perfectly and not rubbery! They did an excellent job! Worth the price of admission! Best brisket on Long Island! We also had pork belly burnt ends! They were a huge hit! Good enough to eat for dessert! Dont forget to get em! We also had 4 racks in of Texas style spare ribs that came with 4 different delicious sauces! Really good! Forgot, we also had mac and cheese and baked beans, quite good and delicious. Highly recommended! Great food truck but these guys are also an excellent choice for catering! In addition to their food truck they have a large fully equipped commercial kitchen capable of handling fairly large catering events. Oh, and right outside their shop is their custom made giant offset smoker. Ask to check it out! They only burn oak in their off set smoker giving their food just the right amount of delicious subtle smoke flavors to complement their slow cooked premium meats! Sooo good! Oh i forgot to mention, these guys are local guys passionate about bbq and serving people a high quality product! Highest recommendation!

    This food truck was outside of ubergeek brewery on Friday afternoon…read more After a quick look over of the menu I decided on grilled Brie and strawberry. I'm a huge fan of Brie, and the sandwich sounded delightful. It was finished with a balsamic drizzle. I also ordered fries. The fires came in a little Chinese take out container. There was not a lot of fries for the price of $5. Fries did have good seasoning though. The grilled Brie snd strawberry was yummy. To be honest I was expecting fresh strawberries, not strawberry jam/jelly. I can blame myself for that as I didn't ask. Flavor was nice though. The two ladies that run this food truck are nice and friendly. Credit cards are accepted!

    We had a high school graduation party with about 70 people last weekend in our backyard. Eat me…read moredrink me showed up on time and ready to roll! They arrived with enough staff and food to quickly service and feed the whole party. They kept the line short and moving. The staff on the truck were friendly and organized. All the food was excellent!!! My favorite was the truffle fries and jerk turkey burger. Everything was a hit! The staff was also cvid compliant and following all safety guidelines. Planning the party was a breeze with melissa who organized the event with us. From date changes to the menu and every question in between. She was amazing and made this experience very pleasant. Would certainly recommend for your next party!!

    Where do I begin???? Well first of off, I am Pregnant and…read morehad a craving for bacalaitos. There are no authentic Puerto Rican spots in Suffolk county on Long Island. I heard about this food truck through my friend as well as Facebook and Instagram. I happen to be in the area and wanted to try it out because it had some really good reviews on social media. I bought the empanada platter which consisted of two empanadas with rice and beans. I chose the beef and cheese but they have other choices. I also got guava bites and the bacalaitos that I was craving. Chef Montalvo took my order. She was genuinely sweet and looked happy to serve her food. She offered me her organic lemonade to try. It was absolutely delicious. I was handed a beeper to then be notified when my food was ready. Everything was made fresh and to order. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food served. I loved every dish!!! The flavors were popping and just perfect! I am 100% Puerto Rican myself and am quite picky with Spanish food cause I cook myself. This food was like a home cooked meal and 110% authentic PR food. I could not have been more pleased. Worth the stop! Definitely going back

    First time I found this truck at the West Islip Craft Fair which I like to attend every year…read moreespecially to do some line dancing and then roasted corn on a cob that is usually delicious. This time I go find some grilled chicken and was nicely surprised when I spotted this new to me Puerto Rican food. A young couple that was waiting for their order to be done encouraged me to try the empanadas with chicken. So I bought one then went for seconds and I also bought like a flat potatoe pancake. Both things were fried and it was simply delicious with no grease. Now, I am craving this empanadas and have to find the truck again. Hope Suzette made it a restaurant. This is definitelly a winner for quick snack and also it is great for the parties. Looking forward to finding you soon again. Happy New Year!!!
