I was craving a pork sandwich and fries for lunch, had been for a few days. Today I swung in to grab one to go. The service was great and it is kinda neat inside, appearance wise. I paid $18.80 for a pulled pork sandwich on a bun, with fries and a beverage. I was surprised at the cost yet paid and waited for my food. It came out quick and I grabbed it and headed back to the office. When I get back, I opened the container and was surprised at how little the fries were and the teeny tiny cup of coleslaw was. The sandwich was thick, lots of pork, sauces were good too; I had spicy and gold.
Reason for the three stars is just the quantity of fries and the coleslaw. For $19, I just expected a bigger portion.

Oh my gosh. Amazing! We have tried quite a few barbecue places in and around Ocala. This is definitely my favorite! The restaurant was clean, the food was hot and fresh, there was ample seating, and it wasn’t too crowded. And the price was good! The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the macaroni and cheese. We got the family meal deal and the two of us left with so much food! We ate lunch for the best day as well! It’s hard to do that nowadays for that price. And the blueberry barbecue sauce??? Amazing!! We will 1000% be back.

This place was delicious! We had ribs, brisket, chicken, burnt ends, wings with collared greens, smoked mac and cheese, coleslaw, Texas toast, etc and it was all incredible(and I was raised on Tennessee bbq). Needless to say, we had a lot we brought home but glad we tried everything. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as if you just pulled up to your friend’s house for a bbq. Definitely going back the next time we kayak Silver Springs. Thanks so much for a great meal at the end of a great day!

Fat Boys was INCREDIBLE! My husband loves BBQ so I was excited to find this place and even more excited when we walked in and could see (and smell) how good the experience would be. The wait staff was SUPER nice and friendly. The food exceeded expectations – the ribs my husband got were falling off the bone and possibly the best, juiciest, most flavorful ribs we have ever had. The sides we enjoyed the most were the corn nuggets (I will dream about these), the potato salad (unique and deliciously seasoned), and my husband said the sweet potato fries were also amazing. Our kids enjoyed their Mac and cheese and grilled cheese and the kids meals came with drinks and a scoop of ice cream (smart idea!). Beyond the food, the ambiance was super comfortable, chill, clean, and cool. After chatting with the staff about how much we enjoyed our time, they shared that are under new ownership and gave the building and business a complete overhaul to update it and bring it more into the present while maintaining the positive traditions from the past. We would definitely recommend this place to others and will be back ourselves.

We are from the deep south of Florida, we visit once a year to go to the Springs. This restaurant was perfectly located within our visit so we decided to stop in and see what they offer. There was a sonnys bbq right on the other side of them and we could have easily gone to sonnys since we are familiar with it. There are no regrets with choosing fat boys instead of sonnys. Im actually surprised the sonnys has any business at all next to this place. We both got 2 meats and 2 sides. Of course we had to go with classics! We got a side of fried Okra to share which was bursting with flavor in every bite! The batter was nice and thin and crispy and seasoned. The sauce that came with it was sorta spicy and tangy, so good! I got Brisket and Smoked Ribs with Collard Greens and Smoked Mac and Cheese. I asked for the carolina bbq sauce on the side (which was phenomanal). My other half got the Quartered Chicken skin on bone in and the Smoked Chicken Wings Hot BBQ flavor with Smoked Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. All of the food was TO DIE FOR. I mean it. The food came FAST and the service was great. JESSICA was our waitress she was friendly, attentive and helpful. If you haven’t gone to fat boys yet, you’re seriously missing out. Do not waste any time, go down there and get you some real southern food and hospitality. We will be back every year now! Im devastated we dont have anything this good where were from. WE ❤️ FAT BOYS

Great atmosphere and service. The beef rib was tasty and tender. The burnt end is extremely small. I thought is was a joke. A deck of playing cards is larger than the serving and for $16 the brisket is ok at best. The beef rib is the best thing that was on my order.

Ordered the three meat with 3 sides and burnt ends for takeout.
The brisket, choice between lean and fatty, I opted for lean or part of the flat, it was super dry, would maybe try the point next time.
Sliced pork, was fair, good smoke ring.
Spare ribs, not bad at all, would get again.
The sides,
Colored greens, very bland, unsure if meat is in here, would avoid.
Smoked Mac and cheese, very plain, unsure if it’s actually smoked, tastes like boxed. Avoid.
Beans, has pork in it, was okay, tastes like canned beans with meat added.
The burnt ends were actually very good, moist and seasoned well, would get again.
I asked for texas toast, was regular sized bread.
I received 2 containers of sauce which, was enough for the dry brisket. Sweet bbq was good, second was blueberry chipotle, which was surprisingly good. Not sure when I tell someone it’s my first time and I’m being skipped on sauce when I’m dropping over $60. I suppose it helps me figure out where I want to spend more money, just not here. How disappointing.
Overall, this feels like it used to be a very good place where a chain has taken over, and they just stopped caring. I wanted to try a dessert or cobbler but the cashier seemed to just want to get rid of me as fast as possible.
