Our first time here. Folks running the truck were super friendly.
The food, WOW. Big portions, and more importantly, delicious. The breads, toppings, sauces, all great…but the MEAT. It’s so perfect. Super flavourful and plentiful on both of the sandwiches we got. They absolutely know what they’re doing here, and it feels like they genuinely care about the food they’re putting out for people.
(We also got a side of their beans, and those are awesome too!)

We stopped in after taking a hike in cherry valley. Let me tell you I am not a huge pork fan but I got the pickled pork sandwich. This sandwich was massive and fed me multiple times and reheated in the over amazingly and the bread didn’t get soggy. We got 4 sandwiches for all four of us and we all raved about it. Also… get the beans.. they are amazing! Well done. We will be back!

The food here is fantastic-full of flavor and perfect amount of spice! Every bite of meat was tender and delicious. You can really taste the care and dedication in every dish. The nachos were amazing, and the jerk chicken paired with a great beer is perfection!

We attended the Lakefront concert series in Cooperstown last night. One of the food trucks was Phat Backs so we decided to give it a try. It was phenomenal. Got the Bahn-mi Bowl and the Fuego! Bowl. Both were spectacular. To start. These were not small portions. They will definitely fill you up, and I cannot say enough good things about the flavor profiles of each. The jerked chicken in the Fuego! Bowl really stood out. It was very tender and juicy, not dried out like a lot of jerk chicken tends to be. And the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers that were included with the bowl were just the icing on top of a delicious cake. The big beans that came with both meals were perfect. There were some of the best baked beans I have had ever. I will definitely be going back wherever they set up. Trust me on this I know good food and Phat Backs is definitely worth the trip.

Amazing food!! Spent some time at a local brewery and these guys were there. The prices are great, the staff is awesome, there are a ton of choices, and you have to try the baked beans! They’ve got a great kick and a unique flavor that has to be eaten to be believed! Chicken, beef or pork all made to perfection!

OMG! Found them is gem at the Muddy River Brewery this past weekend. After a quick review I’d their menu, we ordered. The food was amazing ! BBQ cuban and beans are something to talk about. The flavor profile is perfect. Food is priced perfectly as their portions are huge! Will follow and look for them again soon!

We had the Cubano and the Stoopid BBQ Chicken and they were absolutely phenomenal! The flavors were incredible, and the portions were huge—definitely worth every bite. The beans blew us away too (especially impressive coming from someone who usually doesn’t like beans!).
Service was fast and super friendly, and the whole experience was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back—and we’re rooting for your continued success. Thank you for the amazing food!

Best Cubano sandwich and that’s coming from a native Floridian! Fast too, got it in 15 minutes. Large portion and could only finish half. Owner was super sweet. It’s right across from Dreamspark by the wiffle ball field

Phatty’s phoodie for three years! Best food truck, period! You will not find fresher, higher quality food anywhere, and the (not so) secret ingredient is passion for doing things right. You can’t go wrong, but I can speak persoally for the beans, stoopid chicken, hissin’ chicken, and (favorite!) fuego bowl! If it’s supposed to be spicy here, you’ll weep twice! Always amps up the atmosphere of all the cool locations they cook at!
