Reviews
The **food** was absolutely fantastic! Each dish was bursting with flavor, and the portions were generous—perfect for satisfying any appetite. From their signature sandwiches to the delicious sides, everything was prepared to perfection.
The **customer service** was equally impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our visit enjoyable. They were quick to answer questions and made great recommendations.
As for the ambiance, the place itself is nice and inviting, creating a perfect atmosphere for a casual meal with friends or family.
In one word: **everything was great**! I highly recommend Fat Sal’s to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a wonderful dining experience.
This is the 3rd time I ate their sandwiches, twice here and once in the “Topanga Social” location (where I tried their sandwiches for the second time around).
Their sandwiches are so good, service was great, and the location is in Ventura blvd and Balboa which is a rich and clean area.
They’re also open till past midnight (2:00 a.m.) so that’s a plus!

I came back this afternoon from Glendale to try their milkshakes and I ordered “#1” Chocolate ice cream, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, roasted peanuts, and sea salt. It was the best milkshake I’ve ever tried, making Denny’s “chocolate shake” on the 2nd and Jamba juice’s “Chocolate mood”. on the 3rd rank on my top three best milk shakes “list”.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fat Sal’s, and it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered the “Fat Jerry” sandwich, which is a glorious masterpiece packed with ribeye steak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, a fried egg, crisp bacon, grilled onions, melted American cheese, and fries. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, and it truly lived up to the hype.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is incredibly cool, with a great design that perfectly complements the laid-back vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can easily relax with friends or enjoy a casual meal after a long day.
While I did find the prices to be a bit on the high side, I can assure you that the food is absolutely worth every penny. The quality and taste are simply outstanding! The staff were also fantastic—super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for delicious food in a fun setting, look no further than Fat Sal’s. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their amazing menu!
We go there for smash burgers mostly. I definitely haven’t eaten every one, but of all the smash burgers I’ve had all over the city, Fat Sal’s is to me the best. Lacey and crispy around the edge, American cheese as God intended on a smashburger, good bun and you can add lettuce and tomato if you want. Sometimes we’ll get a loaded side of fries as well. The menu is full of delicious sounding, but a little over the top combinations of things piled up on a smashburger or a sandwich. I’d love to try them, but the regular smashburger is so delicious. They have a pastrami smashburger on the menu, but it has chicken tenders and a bunch of other stuff on it as well. I don’t want all of that, I want a smashburger with griddled pastrami added to it, maybe some Swiss. The regular smashburger, maybe with an extra Patty added is the go-to for both of us.
The staff working there all knows and recognizes us. They’re very friendly, and very customer service oriented. They always want to make sure we have everything we need and that we’re taken care of, they’ll swing by the counter where we’re eating to see if we need any more ketchup, napkins, etc. It’s really next-level service for this kind of a fast casual. Lots of TVs up high on the walls showing whatever sports is on, plus a Fat Sal’s Venice Beach skater video running on a loop. Recommend if you like a delicious smashburger in a cool low-key environment with great service. And who doesn’t?
