I ventured in for lunch on a Thursday around noon. The staff was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean.
I ordered the Pastrami Reuben combo with seasoned fries. It took about 8 mins to come out, and it smelled and looked delicious.
It tasted great, I really enjoyed the sauce that came out with the seasoned fries.
I finished my whole mean and I didn’t find any problems the taste. The only issue was the value. I spent $52 for two combos. For that price I’d expect double the food if I’m being honest.
Back on the east coast I would pay $24 for two cheesesteaks/subs that were double the size and just as satisfying.
I deduct 1 star for the lack of value. Other than that, it’s a solid choice for subs.
Man those are some filling sandwiches! The name of the restaurant is appropriate in this instance lol. Quite a great variety of choices too so there will be something for everyone here. There are new special sandwiches for the month often too.
Fat sal's makes a pretty good hero. I ordered the turkey club and added pickles. The sandwich was huge, it was flavorful and they were generous with the toppings. Bread was also really good with the perfect amount of crunch to it. Will enjoy the other half tomorrow because half of it was more than enough for an entire meal. I'd go back!
Fat Sal's is great!! Such a nice big menu with plenty of delicious options! The portions are nice and big, everything is made fresh to order, and the shakes are a MUST try! The outdoor seating is amazing even on a warm/hot day because they have misters that help cool down the entire area but do not make anything feel wet or musty. They have outdoor tvs and they show the games which is great! The staff is great and they keep the entire restaurant nice and clean!
The atmosphere is pretty nice, the outside seating is great and there’s mist if it’s too hot outside for you. I ordered the pepperoni pizza burger, and I had never seen or heard of anything like it before. Whatever genius came up with this burger, keep doing what your doing. i don’t know how to explain it, but it was just great. It exceeded my expectations by a lot. The next time I am in LA I will be coming back.
Fat Jerry / thin sliced ribeye steak, grilled onion, melted American, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, crisp bacon, fried egg, fries, mayo, ketchup, salt & pepper on a hero - 5 🌟!
Yes. All of that is on one sandwich and it is glorious. I have been a fan of Fat Sal's since they first opened in Encino. I live close to their Hollywood location but was out near their og location and felt a craving.
I visit a few times a year and once even day dreamed about opening a franchise when I loved really far from a Fat Sal's. They have amazing burgers and smothered fries but I tend to grab their loaded heroes.
They often have great limited time sandwiches and shakes which are worth checking out. Also, this is a Halloween tradition for me since they love to do an entire costume theme for their Hollywood location including a fully themed menu.
My advice is to go in person and scarf it down as soon as they hand it to you. Freshly made is the way to go.
This place is super yummy. Pretty much anything you get is going to be good, and the staff is really friendly. I had the albacore salad and cheese fries, and it was so delicious. I also had the #3 shake, which comes with vanilla ice cream, shaved chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and graham cracker crumbs. Sooo yummy!! It can get really busy here, so I would suggest calling your order in, and then picking it up.
Just been the one time but overall very good. The sandwiches are big and therefore a bit more expensive. They have unconventional items stuffed into them such as whole fried mozzarella sticks and french fries and a variety of other tasty treats. The meats is flavorful and goes well with the bread. The onion rings were very good too. To justify the cost I really make it two meals by taking half home. Then again, everything is expensive right now, right? For me, it's probably on my 4 to 6 times a year list.
First time here, I'd heard a lot of great things about this place. I was super excited to try the sandwiches and the shakes!!
I will definitely be coming back here! They have beautiful indoor/outdoor seating...meaning they have french door type and they open them, so it's like you are eating out side. Also it's loud they have sports playing on all televisions that cover all walls. so if you're looking for something romantic this would not be the place.
But for a quick delicious bite and if you want to watch a game this place would be perfect.
Hope to see you here :)
The Fat Buffalo was expensive but worth the money. It was absolutely huge! I wouldn’t recommend eating more than one of these bad boys a month though, something this good just simply can not be good for your health! 😂
