We were in Indy for a show at Butler. I was looking on Google for places close to Butler, when I ran across this place. My husband’s family are from the Chicago suburbs and we love “Chicago food” so this was close and sounded great. I called in to see if they get super busy for Butler shows. They said busy but not crazy, however, that night, half the restaurant was rented out for a private event and there was a Cubs wild card game that night so it probably would be crazy. We had our hearts set on it already, so we decided to give it a try and hope to get in. We snuck in just before the game started & the large reservation came in and that was the ticket. It got really busy after that. It was fun to be there with all the Cubs fans but as a Cubs fan but not a crazy involved Cubs fan I kinda felt bad for taking seats. Our waitress was very friendly, efficient and checked in on us several times. I ordered the Chicago combo but asked to switch the Italian sausage for Polish. It was very good. Probably the best italian beef and one of the best Polish I’ve had. I couldn’t eat the whole thing so I ended up splitting the bun in half and only eating the sausage and took the Italian beef home for my husband to have leftovers. My husband ordered the The Flat Daniel burger and “the best fries in the universe”. He enjoyed his burger and the fries were pretty great. I also ordered a whole pickle. The pickle was a deli style pickle and was exactly what I was wanting. We really enjoyed our time at Fat Dan’s and are hoping for a Cubbie win!
P.S. The cubbies WON!

Fat Dan’s Deli is located just north of 54th Street on the west side of College Avenue, across the street from Fresh Market. Stepping inside, you’ll find yourself looking at a square-shaped bar, surrounded by tables. There’s plenty of seating at the bar and tables, as well as a split booth, with additional seating outside when the weather permits. And when conditions are just right, two large overhead doors open up, bringing the outside in.
The menu is quite expansive, offering hot dogs, sausages, chicken wings, burgers, and general pub food. The service here is great, and the pub grub is well above average.
For our meal, we decided on the
Chicago Dog—my wife thought it was decidedly great. She also tried the dry-rubbed and smoked chicken wings, which she declared were fabulous—some of the best wings she’s ever had. I went with a Fat Dan’s single-patty burger, “drug through the garden” just the way they make it. The dog and burger both come with chips, which neither of us wanted, so we ordered French fries to split instead.
Everything here is served on paper plates with plastic silverware, which adds an unexpected but cool character to the venue. Overall, we really liked it—the food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the place had great energy. We’re already looking forward to a return visit.

One of my favorite food joints in Indianapolis. I’ve been here (Broad Ripple location) numerous occasions and it never disappoints. Almost everything on the menu is great but I especially like the Dirty Tots (see picture), You The Champ Champ, and Basket of Nugs (like the Chic-fil-A nuggets but 10x better).
Street parking is easy and their outside patio is both spacious & dog friendly.

This place came highly recommended as a place to go if I wanted to binge on unhealthy food. I mean it’s called Fat Dan’s for a reason.
Anyways, the atmosphere is pretty nice. It’s got TV’s for sports watching, some garage doors open for good weather, and some outdoor seating.
The service was fine too. I was warned ahead of time that there are no plates and most things served on butcher paper.
The food though. Some were hits and some were misses. I thoroughly enjoyed the loaded tots and fries. The wings were great. The Chicago beef sandwich was good, but had a bit of an odd taste/smell and that Giardiniera had me sweating.
The Wednesday only meatloaf sandwich though was pretty dang bad. Wouldn’t recommend that to an enemy.
Overall though, I’d go back when my arteries unclog

The reason I went to this place, our company was invited to a clients appreciation event by a realtor. The spot that the organizers were assigned was half of the restaurant. Although there was a huge turnout, especially on a day when Chicago cubs are playing, the guests with small children were reasonably comfortable. The host and servers were very attentive. I wish I remember their names! Awesome team! Someone is in-charge of going back and forth to make sure the food was well-replenished. I was part of the organizer and they were very pleasant and helped me every step of the way. Apart from their awesome customer service, their food was excellent. Their briskets, pork and beef, are tender, juicy, and delicious. Chicago hotdog lived up to its expectations. It was one of the most replenished dish. Will surely visit again as a guest. If you love good food, great customer service and expect a full ensemble of boisterous atmosphere, this is the place for you.

Great place to grab a couple sliders and watch the game. I appreciated the option to pick 3 burgers and get them in slider form. It gave me a chance to try a few different things. Good TV set up and service was top notch. Will definately be back.

Jamie was wonderful today!!
Michael was awesome! We had the Wells Street Fat Burger, with an extra hamburger patty & fries. It’s always fun to see the food they deliver to your table on a sheet of paper & then laid down on your table!
We had a fabulous time with Jamie! Very pleasant and our food was perfect!

The food is just ok nothing special. The fries have a claim that they are “The best in the Universe” . If you make a claim then you need to back it up. Lets just say still raw potatoes no crispy fries just soggy and raw. Like a flash fry. The Chicago dog does not have that snap like a good Chicago dog should have. Not the best Chicago dog just an ok one.

I have a brother that lives in Chicago and he has taken me to several “real deal” italian beef restaurants. This place is the real deal. Had the combo that is Italian beef and sausage on a dippd hoagie roll. Wow…A great place to get your belly filled with some really good Chicago comfort food. Great french fries and lots of them.

This was my first time and will be back as I live in the area. I was impressed with the food and drinks, the value, the parking, the atmosphere in the restaurant is great, perfect for the summer.
