I waited the required 45 minutes for my take out order of brisket. I didnt have my name on my photo copy of my order receit and they were not going to let me take my food, even after I offered a photo ID. Finally the lady tells me “just take it” and “Merry Christmas”. My brisket meal was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and a side salad. Mine did not. I purchased separately a baked potato, Mac n cheese and Texas toast, a order of cheesy bacon fries, without sauce, and a deluxe brownie. I drove 1/2 home. I got home and the fries smelled like old grease. They were coagulated and were not palatable after gentle reheating. The Mac n cheese tasted like it had very little cheese and mostly ranch dressing, the brisket was dry on one side and saturated in a sweet sauce on the other. There was no brownie. They “forgot” it and I was given the option to drive back in or file a complaint through door dash. The food was horrible. The meat was stringy and dry
The fries tasted like old grease. The cheese was scarce and only a thin layer on top. I didn’t eat the baked potato because I was quite nauseous after attempting to eat a taste of fries and the stringy, overly sweet brisket. The meat was scant. The Texas toast was ok but nothing special. The Mac n cheese was a 2. Not worth the wait or price of almost 45 bucks…

We’re from England and have been searching for the all American bbq extort over a week and we finally found what we were looking for.
Our waitress Amanda, was super helpful talking us through the menu and helping with choices.
There are two different rooms, the diner and the back room. I’m not sure how they decide who sits where. We were initially seated in the back room. A cold, faceless, uninviting room that wasn’t giving us the vibes we sought. We asked if we could move to the diner and they were more than accommodating.
Two root beers in the largest glasses ever and Fat Buddies pig out for two. If you come here, come hungry. The food really is that good that you won’t want to leave anything. The meat was so tender, it fell off the bones. If you’re in the area it’s well worth a visit. I’ll let my photos do the talking.

Good Fat Belly and big Beard lunch and dinner barbecue entrees. We got the 1/2 Rack Rib combo plate and beef brisket, and pulled pork, & 1/4 chicken combo plate. Come and get you some neighbors.

Brisket, Fries and BBQ Pork Sandwich was amazing. Fried okra was great too! Friendly and nice service. No pork belly burnt ends it was my first time through and wasn’t disappointed.

We loved the service we got and the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is very charming and there is a large dinning room with a party room. I especially loved the Mag Wheel lighting over the Booths.
I Highly Recommend that you try FAT Buddies Ribs & Bar B Q.

First time here. Was recommended by a long time friend. The staff was great but our server, Sophia, was phenomenal. Very personable and friendly. Attentive and efficient. A real blessing.
The rack of ribs was delicious. The fried mushrooms were excellent as were the potato skins. My son enjoyed the brisket dinner and my daughter in law enjoyed the shrimp dinner. My wife had the pulled pork and thought it was ok. It was a bit bland and fatty for her. Overall it was a great evening!

My boyfriend and I ate here and had a really nice time. We were seated immediately. I got the fried chicken tenders platter with potato salad and Kraft mac and cheese, and it came with Texas Toast. I meant to get french fries, so my boyfriend got french fries and shared them with me, and I gave him my potato salad. The food was great. I expected to get a few more tenders but I left full. And then the Kraft mac and cheese was a classic, I got it because I can never get mine to taste like they make it in a restaurant. The french fries were nice and crispy. Our server, Taylor, was incredibly sweet and checked in on us at the perfect times. I really liked it here and would definitely like to visit again!

Pulled pork and ribs were yummy. Garlic bread with sandwiches were very good. Hamburger bun was a little off, okra was a little overcooked. Staff was great! Ate there twice and my family will go back.

First time visiting this restaurant and we loved the customer service. Out of all the food we ordered, our favorite was the fried picked with their chipotle ranch and the baked beans. We were a bit disappointed at the size of the full rack ribs and the chicken sandwich. I think those could be improved.

Soooooo Great!!!!
Yummy to the inth degree!
My tastebuds were still dancing an hour after leaving!!
A tasty surprise in a little town that was huge on flavor. You can smell the smokiness before you get out of the car even!
There was no wait when we arrived and our server Charles was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. We order a half onion loaf and we split a rack and a half of pork ribs, with fries and beans. The onion loaf was exactly as good as i expected with a spicy ranch dip. The ribs came out fast and were an instant hit. Absolutely delicious sauce and beautiful smoke ring. So sticky good. The beans were on point. Homemade and hearty. Not from a can. There was also garlic toast which helped make a great rib sandwich, lol.
We will be back.

Thanks
