Fatty's Seafood - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

The fatty thing about Fatty's Seafood Restaurant is the greasy, fatty lunch served to me this afternoon. I ordered the Crab Stuffed Bell Pepper with Pasta. No crab, all bread stuffing. The pasta was bland and very oily. The garlic bread was barely toasted and had soaked up a ton of butter making it a limp buttery sponge. Not appetizing. I also ordered the Oyster and Artichoke Soup which was very tasty, but the oysters were very chewy and tasted off. I won't return. read more

Had the fried shrimp. It was so delicious. I was starving and I left this place stuffed. My waitress Karen was an angel. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Great service and nice atmosphere. I got crawfish and was a little dissatisfied due to the lack of spice. I personally like the grittiness of the powdered spices. Wasn't bad just not what I prefer. read more

Food is okay but overpriced for the fare. Clean restaurant with good service. We tried shrimp & oyster poboys and a couple of the seafood combo dishes. Dungeness crabs were preferred over all the rest by my family. read more

This was my first visit to Fatty's, and I wasn't disappointed! I got the Fatty's Jr. seafood platter, and everything was really good. The crab cakes are killer, and full of crab meat. The only thing I didn't like we're the French fries, which were a bit soggy. I will definitely visit Fatty's again! read more

I'm writing this review basely on their food. I ordered a dozen chargrilled oysters, Alfredo pasta with chicken and crab cake sandwich with fries. The chargrilled oysters were okay. The Alfredo pasta was very bland and the crab cake sandwich was also very bland. The fries wasn't hot and looked old and burnt(looked like it have been sitting there). I wished I had read the yelp reviews on this place before coming because most people complained about food being so bland. Chesterfield tasted better than this place. All they have to do is add seasonings to their food. read more

Still sitting here. 45 to get the first round of all you can eat catfish. On minute 25 and still no second round. And we put the second round order in right after we got the first round. It's not that busy. Food is decent if you ever get it. read more

Went to Fatty's on Saturday and my and I ended up with food poisoning. Spent the next day suffering. Horrible experience.

Not impressed at all. The food was nothing more than ok, and the prices were ridiculous.

This was an experience to remember. We killed 2 flys from our first table when initially entering this establishment. We thought to leave but my sister didn't want to, she was driving and wanted to give the place a chance. So we moved to another table and it had fruit flys. Ugh! The waitress, when informed acted as if that was the norm. She did not even clean the previous table and another couple set down. The bland food and the drinks were subpar. The pasta dishes had a bland sauce with some fried seafood thrown on top as a second thought. The fried seafood wasn't even hot. The bow tie fried pasta was decent but the artichoke dip was NOT. Do Not order the sautéed crab claws if you want sautéed or in butter/garlic. They are just drowned in some extra creamy pasta sauce. FYI do not get a frozen drink. A hint of flavored crushed ice but the shot of liquor shined through. Just stick to liquor on the rocks. Thank me later. We are in LA at a place that doesn't even season their food. What a FAT Disaster!! read more

Fatty's Seafood - the front of the restaurant - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

Get Fatty with Fattys. Best fried catfish I've had Onion rings were so big you'd swear they were grown in Chernobyl. Drinks were good too. Martinis $4 on Thursdays. Nice atmosphere and waitress was attentive and really great.. read more

Went last night for a late dinner. Food was overall pretty good besides having a piece of hair in my shrimp poboy. Would've loved to let my server know but she was too concerned with running other servers food to come and check on us. Only got one refill after my drink within the first five minutes of being there. Dropped our food off, never asked us if it was okay nor if we needed anything. Just when we thought we were going to get our check, she dropped another's tables food on the floor. Took another ten minutes at this point to get the check. Finally got the check and she was certainly in a rush to pick up my money, but not to actually serve us. Wish I could remember her name. Will go back for the food but will request a different server. read more

Been a while since we have eaten here. Lots of positives, shrimp and grits were scrumptious. Great service. Friendly staff. Appetizer was the fried pickles, which are tasty, but cold when they came to the table. Shrimp poboy could have used more flavor. Rigger burger was ok, tasted like BBQ sauce. Grilled shrimp poboy, same thing. Missing a little something (not sure what). Coleslaw wasn't too good. Good selection of draft beer. We will give it another go. read more

Well, went to Fatty's last evening first thing we found strange was the hostess asked us if we mind waiting for her to clean a table by the fromt door. I found this request rather strange as there were 3 or 4 empty booths as well as several tables, nonetheless we obliged. I excused myself to the restroom and my companion unbeknownst to me had went out to the car to get his glasses (menu) lol. As I returned to the dinig room the booth had been set so I assumed I could be seated, the hostess whisked me away to another booth and said she was reseating us, ok? So I sat down and in the meantime I'm thinking my friend is in the restroom, remember I didn't know he went to the car, I'm sitting there looking at the menu, looking around the room, no waitress. This goes on for 3 or 4 minutes and now I know somethings not right. I get up and walk toward the door and lo and behold my friend's sitting at the other booth! Come to find out he had told her he was going to the car when I went to the restroom but she never told him about the table change nor did she notice him sitting by himself bevause she wss too busy talking on her phone. Now you would think we would have left but noooo we sat at our new and improved booth for another 5 minutes, no waitress then left. Went to Nola's great service, great food and better deal!!!!! So sorry Fatty's has gone down the tubes! read more

I was excited about trying this place because it came highly recommended to me by a friend. I traveled, so I was staying in a hotel, and I called fattys to make a to-go order. I called them 45 min. before i was going to arrive and they said it would be ready when I got there. I walk in and they hadn't even started my order yet. Finally, I get my food, payed for it, tipped, and left and went back to my hotel. I opened my bag and the first thing I pulled out was my salad. I opened my bleu cheese and there was one piece of bleu cheese in there with almost no dressing. Then as I started to put the dressing on my salad I gazed in horror at a 3inch black hair lying on my lettuce leaf. First course was finished next I opened up my entree box I had ordered a medium rare ribeye and what I was looking at was a raw, not rare, not medium rare, raw piece of shoe leather. Being in a hotel room I only had one choice the microwave. It was seriously the worst steak I've ever eaten. They gave me plastic silverware that was so cheap that it was almost unusable. If I could give this restaurant less than one star I would. Do your self a favor spend your money anywhere else. read more

Ate here today before going to the airport in New Orleans.... We both ordered the creole dish with the fish on the side. She ordered a side of fried shrimp and we had the boudin balls. Our boudin balls came out and they were pretty good. We tour order came out it was luke warm. Hesitant We asked the server to reheat the food. Now normally when I send food back I don't reorder....but I was starving and wanted to eat before my flight. Now since we ordered the fish on the side it was hot and fresh.... however my friend found a hair (which wasn't hers) The buck stops there.... we can't do hair!! Management needs to fix this. Hair nets are a must! Two stars because the food we consumed was good. read more

They have really great food. I would recommend this place to anyone great hostess and a beautiful restaurant.

Really nice atmosphere and food was pretty awesome. Seafood nachos are really something and there are lots of TVs which would make this a great place to catch a game. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Boudin ball app was the best thing we got and they were just okay. The app came out with our side salads followed by the main dish about 5 minutes later. Felt rushed. Side salads were meh. Blue cheese dressing was bland with a hunk of cheese on the middle and little dressing. Main dish: crawfish Étouffée topped with fried shrimp... do not recommend. No flavor, fried shrimp weren't even good. Husband got the stuffed catfish with étouffée over angel hair, mine was better than his. Could have used a refill on drinks before the last minute when asked. Left over half the food on the table, $51 wasted. read more

Ordered food from Fatty's and OMG I was duped. Fries were not cooked all the way , gumbo had to be from the bottom of the pot it taste was spoiled tasting and the bread pudding was on a cup and the scoop of dessert came up as far as the bottom rim of it . Uggh never again read more

I ordered to go. My order was ready. They even had hand sanitizer available at the door for everyone to use upon entering. I had the Cajun Alfredeaux and a cup of gumbo. The pasta was well seasoned and the fried crawfish were still crispy when I got home. The gumbo did not agree with my tastebuds. Other than that I would recommend the pasta for sure! read more

The food was pretty good. The atmosphere was comforting and pleasant for a sports bar. We felt a bit rushed once we did get our appetizers and main course. They were literally 3 to 5 minutes apart. Then about ten minutes later we were given the check without asking if we wanted dessert (and we did). Maybe our waitress was extra busy.... We plan on going back just to make sure. read more

Consistently great food every time I have visited. Service has been excellent. Prices are reasonable. The portions are large.

Absolutely on point. Great service, great menu, great kitchen, the best meal I've eaten in the entire slidell area. The cajun alfredo was spiced flawlessly with great proportions and played well, the server hooked it up when I personally could decide on shrimp or oysters for my poorboy and had the kitchen put both and they had amazing creme brulee read more

Super nice place, good food and great staff! Only thing we didn't care for was gumbo. Had the fatty melt and was real good! Fast service also! read more

Love this place!! Seafood is fresh an yummy!! I definitely love boiled crawfish season!! Fresh an hot every night. I love the seafood nachos, bacon wrapped shrimp and fried crab claws. I usually get the fried shrimp platter!! So yummy. I love the bar as well. You should try it!!!! Oh yeah the blackened grouper with the bienville sauce on it!! BOOM read more

I went in with my family just before the parade rolled by. They were out of what I originally went in for... crawfish. Which is expected being crawfish season and on the Mardi Gras parade route. The food was very overpriced. Food tasted fresh and came out quickly. Parts of my salad was frozen for some reason. I had no issues with the taste of my food.... but boy, as soon as I got home I could not walk away from the toilet. TMI I know. The food did not sit well in my stomach, lots of stomach pain, gurgling and unsettled! My husband being a chef thought it could've been food cross contamination. I don't see myself eating at this overpriced place again. read more

This was my girlfriends first trip to New Orleans. I was hoping to actually get to New Orleans for dinner, (I decided we would not eat any fast food this trip, ONLY New Orleans foods) but since we were running late I decided to give Fatty's a try. This being her first taste of ACTUAL New Orleans style food, I was hoping for it to at least be decent.... it was way beyond. She had the etouffe with catfish, absolutely delicious. Just enough spice to give it that kick, but not overpowering. The waitress was perfectly timed on everything with just a few minutes delay on one time refilling my drink... but this was also during a rush that suddenly hit the restaurant. This is definitely a spot I will be hitting on my drives back home from now on. read more

Ordered Crawfish nachos and the signature burger which were delivered via Waitr. Arrived promptly but the food was terrible! Nachos had literally only 20 of the smallest, dry and wilted crawfish tails I have ever seen! The cheese was barely enough to cover an entire chip, and that is being generous at best. Definitely the very worst nachos I have ever eaten and the worst I have ever seen!! Burger on the other hand was cooked medium well and tasted decent. Nothing very notable about it but compared to the nachos it was at least edible. Highly advise to never order the nachos and look elsewhere for this same dish. In my opinion I would not order from here again. read more

First time here and they were no crowded at all it's just your normal type of sports bar atmosphere

I am usually one of the most understanding customers because I've been a server the majority of my life, but I've never had an experience like I did today. I sat down and ordered my and my children's drink while waiting on a friend. When she sat down we ordered her drink and appetizers. After 8 minutes I then stopped the waitress to ask for my friends drink that had still not been brought. When she did bring it she still did not take our order and said she'd be back. She brought the appetizers and we then ordered. When our food came out I let her know that my $22 pasta was very bland and tasted like there was not even salt. She informed me that they don't use seasoning when making the pasta. I thought surely there must be a mistake as no where on the menu states lite seasoning or ask for seasoning in the food. I then asked for a manager. The manager was nice and explained that due to catering to an elderly clientele that they have "drastically reduced the seasoning they use". I did ask to return the dish as it was not worth the $22 price tag, and explained what had previously happened with the server. She let me know the server was relatively new so I said I get it and was understanding.....THEN after the manager left the table she talked to the server who decided that the right thing to do was come over and confront me about talking to the manager and that it hadn't been 8 minutes and made me and my friend and kids feel uncomfortable. In all my years as a server I had never nor I would ever confront a table, especially when I was in the wrong. I still tipped 18% because as a server I couldn't do otherwise but due to that interaction and the lacking meal I will never be returning to this establishment and will be warning everyone I know about what happened. It is truly a shame because my last experience at the location in picayune was amazing. read more

Went on Father's Day. Restaurant was full. No problem. Service was excellent, food was excellent, Price was not bad. Try the seafood nachos, they were great. I'll be back. read more

Too expensive for the quality of food. Service was not OK, couldn't get a refill without having to walk to bar and ask. S/n they only had 5 tables occupied. read more

We come here pretty often the grilled shrimp and catfish on Tuesday all you can eat is very good service is outstanding

Only went here once. The alfredo was bland. One person's food was not even hot so they reheated it in the microwave. Then the server forgot to bring back the change. Her tip would have been larger than the amount she decided was hers; oh well on her part. read more

I am so sorry I picked this place to have my one and only meal in the New Orleans area. Everything was terrible, and COLD! Stay away...try someplace else, any place else. read more
