Had a great experience at Fat Dan’s in Carmel. We ordered the hamburger and the chicken tenders, and both were excellent. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with a great balance of toppings and a soft bun that held everything together well. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, clearly made fresh and with good quality chicken.
The portions were generous and everything arrived hot and fresh. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, making it a great place to enjoy comfort food with friends or family. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. Definitely a place we would visit again when we are in the area and craving a solid burger and great chicken tenders.

Loved Fat Dan’s in Carmel. We are not up here that often and had our dog Noel with us so searched dog friendly places to it.
Nice seating area outside to accommodate us. The local St. Joseph IPA draft was wonderful.
We split the pressed Cubano sandwich and it was a bit on the smaller side, but extremely well made. Not easy to find a tasty version of this sandwich but this is definitely one.
Normally not the biggest fan of stone oven pizza, but this was incredibly tasty. Not too crisp, toppings of meatball, pepperoni and sausage perfect and crust it seemed had a flavor coating that added to its depth.
So many other menu items left to be explored so will be back in the future. Our service also spot on as sometimes those outside get forgotten but not here

Good not impressive. I remember trying Fat Dan’s many years ago when they first opened in broad ripple. The owner was there and he told us about how he came from Chicago which made us even more excited because we are also from northern Indiana and our playground was Chicago. Food, party, bars, concerts, festivals, car shows, just an entire vibe. Let’s not leave out the food. Chi-town has a food game,a vibe in itself. Back to the review. We ordered the best burger we had ever had, the fries were separate, I think that was a new experience for me as at that time most places you could go to a restaurant and at least have an option of ordering combo style. I was relatively new to the area, the prices were a tad bit expensive for just the burger and fries but conversing with the owner, his hospitality and all made the cost worthwhile that day. Fast forward to a location closer to where I live today in Carmel we decided to give it another try with a flashback in mind from the original visit. Chicken wings sound amazing along with pizza, so that’s what we ordered vegetable pizza, smoked chicken wings and a burger. The wake and bake burger with egg on it my daughter said was delightful, the smoke wings were good, even better with sauce and a pizza was decent, the place could have used a little tidying up. It wasn’t crowded at all, staff appeared to be having time to frolic around and fraternize with one another but the place definitely could use some good housekeeping. Service was good, I’m not rushing back though.

Legit itialian beef… Sweet peppers and hot giardiniera were spot on. Got mine wet the roll was cut just a bit to much or the gravy was put right on the hinge cause it ended up falling apart. Wife got the Italian sandwich I believe, it was to spicy for her she ended up just picking at the meat after the server told her what would have been so spicy.

Fat Dan’s is a fun place to go for a date. Food was good and decent portions for the price. The server brought us the order twice but they ended up just giving us the food they messed up which was a nice second meal. The atmosphere is pleasant and not too loud.

Faithful Chicago favorites. The Reuben sandwich I ordered was probably the most elaborate version I’ve ever tried. Borderline decadent in all the best ways. Fun detail that their Thousand Island dressing includes the classic Chicsgo relish, great touch!

This was my second time at Fat Dan’s. This time tried the brisket sandwich with mac ‘n cheese on the side. Simply put: Delicious! There are so many good choices on the menu that it will take multiple visits to enjoy them all. Great service, laid back vibe and excellent food. The fries are fresh cut, fried to perfection, and generously portioned. Definitely will be back .

Terrible service! One of my nieces threw up by accident as she wasn’t feeling well and the server didn’t even care to help and just gave us a bottle of bleach and a trash can to clean it up, which we didn’t mind cleaning. What bothered me is just the server just mentioned out loud in front of people saying that “We’re not going to clean up your kids throw up!” The way she said it was extremely rude and acted like she didn’t care about us! Would she have said the same thing if another customer spilled their food by accident? Would she clean it up or just give a bottle of bleach to another customer? In addition, they opened the door close to us to maybe air it out, and it was 20 degrees outside which the kids at our table was freezing cold! I felt disrespected and I’ll definitely won’t be coming back to this restaurant. In addition, we never got the mushroom burger and the beer that we ordered. It seems the server was overwhelmed and forgot our order. They also charged us a 20 percent gratuity, which our table was only a party of 4. Smart of them to do that because they know that they don’t deserve that tip and just robbed us of the money. This is probably the worst place and I don’t recommended for anybody to come here ever!
